That’s not the solution. Before heading towards the solution, we should understand the problem well. The root cause of all these diseases is the disturbed or poor metabolism and in ayurvedic terms [1] it’s the deranged Agni. What’s the solution, Ayurveda is the one stop solution. Prevention is always better than cure. When it comes to prevention nothing is better than ayurveda.
