Ayurvedic touch for 10-day detox programme

WHEN I was a speaker at the Star Health Fair last month, where I launched my inaugural Guided Audio Relaxation CD called Letting Go, I had time in between my workshops to explore the diverse plethora of participating health brands. I was literally spoilt for choice but I found myself wandering into the Samkkya Ayurveda booth, where people from all walks of life with concerns ranging from migraine, diabetes, obesity, back pain, skin issues, arthiritis or other ailments were streaming in with their different enquiries.

I have long been fascinated by Ayurveda, which is believed to be the oldest healing system in the world, dating back more than 5000 years. ‘Ayur’ means life and ‘Veda’ means ‘knowledge of’, so Ayurveda is often referred to as the ‘knowledge’ or ‘Science of Life’.
