Expert Vinod Verma writes,with the popularity of Ayurveda during the last two decades, there has been mushrooming of the wellness centres in the West as well as in India and Sri Lanka. However, they really do not represent the true essence of Ayurveda. Nevertheless, they help in providing solace to the stressed people through fundamental yogic and Ayurvedic methods which are used in such centres like massages, vapour baths, mud baths, oil anointment, pranayama, yoga asanas, etc. It is more important to add the basic knowledge of mindful living.
