Ayurveda provides better solution in the forms of proper dietary management, lifestyle advises, Panchakarma like detoxification and bio-purification procedures, and rejuvenation therapies and makes this science a wonderful option in lifestyle disorders. Disorders are based on various unnatural interventions caused by human beings in their routine life.
