JAMMU, May 12: It is time to return to our roots through Ayurveda, the science of Indian Medicine which has been practised unchanged with regard to its basic principles for thousands of years. The essence of Ayurveda has remained uniquely distinct and it has stood the test of time. This system of medicine can be the answer to everything that the Allopathic system fails to address. It however depends on us to delve deep into this science and make it part of our life.
