Description
The Science which deals with the principles and practices of the ways of healthy and happy living is known as Ayurveda. It is believed that the corporal human body is a medium in materializing the Dharmas (human duties) Arth, (Activities), Kam (desire) and therefore, it is the duty of every individual to preserve it by the best possible means. But at the same time one must keep in mind that the ultimate goal of human life is to achieve Moksha i.e. Salvation unto the Supreme Soul. And for this reason only we are supposed to indulge in everything good on human grounds, from childhood.
At present people at large require Ayurvedic knowledge in brief for daily maintaining health & happiness. Therefore, this book is intended for the common man to understand Ayurveda. The Science of life, as it comprises articles which are of daily routine, diet as well as common disease with simple herbal remedies. I hope readers will derive maximum benefit out of it and make my efforts a success.
