There are four main classifications of management of disease in Ayurveda: shodan, or cleansing; shaman or palliation; rasayana, or rejuvenation; and satvajaya, or mental hygiene.
Along with medicine, proper diet, exercise and lifestyle is advised. This is very important, If we are taking a medicine to remove the root cause and at the same time we are eating food which may increase the cause of disease, then we will not get well and will get less relief.
In Sanskrit the daily routine is called the Dinacharya. Ayurveda recommends that in order to be optimally healthy we should tune our bodies to the nature’s master cycle, which in turn regulates the various other rhythms.
