Abstract
Ayurveda is an ancient healing art and science and a holistic approach to health and wellness, focusing on improving, maintaining, and balancing mind-body health. The first step in healing the mind and body in ayurvedic medicine is based on meditation. Modern society is fast paced, and more and more stress related disorders, such as anxiety, are very commonly seen in our society. 18% of the population in the United States of America, about 40 million people, suffer each day with anxiety. Anxiety disorders cost the nation more than 42 billion dollars annually. According to National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, 8% (18 million) use meditation techniques, and 9.1% (21 million) use yoga practice to manage their anxiety. Integrating ayurvedic practices in modern society is the key to bringing balance, health and wellness for optimum health. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems.
