Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest holistic healing system. In Sanskrit,  Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Ayurveda places great emphasis on  prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to  balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs.  Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of  body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution  and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance. To  maintain the health some activities are mentioned in Ayurveda under the term  Dincharya.
