Best Ayurveda tips for Anti-aging

Recent studies show that the anti-aging products market globally is estimated at $52.5 billion. While there is a huge array of anti aging commercial products, I am very skeptical of experimenting. I would always prefer natural and organic sourcing. I believe anti-aging is not limited to what you apply to your skin, it’s about the complete nutrition you give your body and at the same time how you cope with stress and your overall well being. Thanks to Ayurveda, ancient timeless wisdom offers effective anti-aging solutions for both body and mind which are completely natural. As the Vata constituency increases in the body during old age which indicates more space and air, we need to balance primarily the vata dosha. Here are 18 best Ayurveda tips for Anti-aging.
