Ayurveda, nutrition, diet and detoxification

The study of Ayurveda works on three basic principle of energies, which are further divided into three categories (it is also believed that these energies are present in everyone and everything). The study and several observations are made on Ayurvedic lifestyle proves that this is one of the healthiest lifestyle that connects someone to nature.
