The human body is a very complex piece of machinery, a finely connected network of muscles, joints, nerves, veins, arteries, and capillaries. It is a hard task to keep all these elements co-ordinated and in good working order under the best of circumstances. More often than not, ailments, whether minor or major, affect the body. The science of yoga, as well as that of Ayurveda (a traditional Indian system of healing based on herbal remedies), classify ailments that afflict the body and the mind under three basic categories. These are: self-inflicted ailments, caused by neglect or abuse of the body; congenital ailments, present from birth; and ailments caused by the imbalance of any of the five elements of ether, air, fire, water, and earth, in our system. We believe, yoga can treat all three, but the pace and effectiveness of the cure depends on the type of ailment, its progression, the patient’s constitution, and his or her commitment to the practice.
