Ayurveda is one of the ancient science that binds us to the nature. our mother earth is blessed with abundance of Herbs and minerals which helps in treating the Body in ‘n’ number of ways.

Ayurveda believes that every creature on this earth is formed of panchtatva that is air, Water, soil, fire and sky and each panchtatva has its own property by which it performs various important functions.

Human body is made up of panchtatva itself where air is considered to be vata dosha of body, fire is considered to be pitta dosha as well as digestive fire in human body and water is considered to be kapha dosha and all the fluids in our body, sky is related to all the channels in the body, and soil is relatable with solid components of the body, this way property of each tatva performs its respective duty  due to their special guna (property) like sheeta(cold) ,ushna (hot) ,ruskha (dry) , snigdha (oily ) .similarly plants also carry same panchtatva property Due to which they can be used in treatment of human body . so by this we can better understand that nature can heal nature and plants can be used effectively without doing any harm to the human body.

Due to development of the country and advancement of the technology and lifestyle  ,we humans are getting away from our nature and due to busy and hectic schedule people nowadays are more stressed and affected with diseases like obesity ,hypertension ,diabetes etc,.
