Ayurveda is said to be the medical side of yoga. Ayurveda is all about the transferal of medical knowledge from Gods to sages and then to us. It is said that Ayurveda therapies have evolved over more than two millennia. About 80% people in India use some form of traditional medicine which is a part of Ayurveda. The system is based on five important elements i.e. air, fire, water, earth, and universe. Each of these elements has a specific component. All these components are simplified into three energies called “Doshas” i.e. Vatta, Pitta, and Kapha. The VLCC Ayurveda treatments are based on the doshas of the individual.
