These days, with the economy in a slump and the future uncertain, we need to take better care of ourselves to help fight off depression and illness and to avoid the rising costs of healthcare. Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga and meditation are century old treatments for a variety of health issues, including cardiac care, mental health care, joint and muscle health and health of internal organs.  Various yoga exercises help organs and glands to produce healing chemicals and keep organ tissues and structures in balance with each other. Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation are commonly suggested as natural and alternative treatments for depression.

Yoga and meditation are not only a great form of physical exercise, but are becoming increasingly popular as methods of reducing stress and treating depression. Yoga and meditation are very inexpensive to learn and practice. There are no drugs involved, thereby alleviating drug side effects. The practice of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation also help to reduce high blood pressure, tension, anxiety, and even fear. Americans are growing increasingly opened to mind-body practices called complementary and alternative medicine, also known as CAM.

Ayurvedic medicine, also known as Ayurveda treatment is one of the oldest systems of medical treatment in the world. Ayurvedic treatments which are also know as Herbal treatments are a large part of this form of alternative or natural health care.

Destinations such as those found in India, Thailand, and Singapore offer this ancient health and wellness teaching to international patients. Facilities such as the Indus Valley Ayurveda Center and the Athreya Ayurvedic Resorts in India are just two prime examples of the best these ancient traditions have to offer.
