Care and Cure
 
 
Prevention is better than cure. Proper care, well in advance, will prevent unnecessary health problems. Unfortunately, prevention, which largely involves proper family atmosphere and social conditions, does not accrue much financial benefit to big manufacturers, multinational companies and specialists and they are not taking any positive result oriented step.

Human beings are using herbs, plants and trees for getting relief of various ailments, dates back to the very earliest periods of human history. These practices had gradually developed into a system of Ayurveda, India's Vedic Medical System. The advantage of herbal medicines compare to allopathic medicine is that there are no side effects instead these drugs produce side benefits to our body.

(humour means – Dosas or Dosha-one of the certain liquids (toxic materials) in the body, said to determine a person’s physical qualities) There are 3dosas viz. vayu, pitta and kapha. Vayu (Vatham= Air) regulates all the nervous functions including motions and sensations in the body. Pitta (Fire) regulates all the enzymatic functions including digestion and metabolism.
