Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the most ancient natural healing system of India . The word Ayurveda means the science of life. It is to do with healing through herbs and natural means. This system is a part of Vedic science and goes back to more than 4000 years B.C. This healing system was formulated by the ancient Hindu seers who were enlightened men. Vedic sciences include yoga, meditation, astrology, and ayurveda. Thus it is a branch of the holy sciences. Ayurveda includes herbal supplements, right kind of diets, and right kind of living. Therefore the spiritual aspect is very much inherent. Ayurvedic healing became very popular and spread to other parts of the world like Tibet, Sri Lanka, Burma, and China. The Buddhist monks applied the science to their practice. Many monks were Ayurvedic doctors. As per the spiritual culture and belief of ancient Hindu scriptures, diseases arise out of two main reasons. First, because of physical and biological disorders, which is generally treated with herbs, diet correction and certain yogic exercises. Second, because of bad karmic effects, which require greater application

The essence of Ayurveda is a coordinated concept of natural remedies, oil massages, respiration techniques as well as special nourishment, in order to harmonize the unbalanced body with oneself. The property of Indus Valley is built like an Indian temple based on very strict Vasthu principles, so that the guests can enjoy during their Ayurveda therapy a pleasant and convenient atmosphere, supported by positive Vasthu effects.

Consequently the segmentation of a property should be equal to a Mandala.
