Frontal & Nasal Gazing

The definition and meaning of Meditative Postures is extracted from the home page of All Ayurveda - Worlds first portal on Ayurveda

"Life seems  to have come a full circle in case of certain aspects of  medicinal science. The focus today having shifted back from  an all-dominating Allopathy to the traditional, natural  systems of health that had served humankind well prior to  its advent. Quite understandably, Ayurveda, with nearly 500  million adherents and as part of a projected $62 billion  industry worldwide, has been staging a strong comeback.

An ancient  holistic system of medicine, it uses a vast range of natural herbs and minerals to tackle ailments - herbs that assure  relief or progress without any side effects. Intensive  laboratory and clinical research has helped in further  improvement. Playing a stellar role in that has been an organisation that is better known by its brand name Baidyanath.

With a  basket of over 700 ayurvedic and herbal products produced in  10 hi-tech manufacturing units with state-of-the-art  research facilities all over India, Baidyanath's more than  eight decades of experience puts it in an unequalled  position of leadership in this field. The vast treasure of knowledge shared with rest of the world through nearly fifty  books."
