Quath

It is a type of ancient Indian medicine.

Traditional system of Indian medicine. It is attributed to Dhanvantari, the physician to the gods in Hindu mythology, who received it from Brahma. Its earliest concepts were set out in the portion of the Vedas known as the Atharvaveda (c. 2nd millennium BC). The most important Ayurvedic texts are the Caraka samhita and Susruta samhita (1st–4th century AD). These texts analyze the human body in terms of earth, water, fire, air, and ether as well as the three bodily humours (wind, bile, and phlegm). To prevent illness, Ayurvedic medicine emphasizes hygiene, exercise, herbal preparations, and yoga. To cure ailments, it relies on herbal medicines, physiotherapy, and diet. Ayurvedic medicine is still a popular form of health care in India, where it is taught in roughly 100 colleges, and it has gained currency in the West as a form of alternative medicine.

Word of the Day

Laughter

When not just air comes out of your mouth but a long or loud or soft or quiet, or a combination of a few, noise that emits itself out of your mouth. When something is funny, you may laugh. If something is hilarious, you may laugh. When someone tickles you, you may laugh. When someone insults someone, you may laugh at them or yourself if it’s directed at you to hide the tension. Laughter can be contagious and others may laugh because of it. You may laugh when someone tries to take your picture, because you can’t smile. Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter helps you live longer.

So laugh every day, you’ll be happy and so will others.
