It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. Ayurveda Dietetics is unexplored goldmine. Life depends on food.

4 Pranayama Pranayama is derived from two Sanskrit words Prana (Life force/energy) and Ayama (Elongation / Control). It is elongation of Pranic energy. Prananyama is regulation of the flow of life force. Control of breath is Pranayama. 'Prana' is an energy or life force that is universal in nature - it is omnipresent. The goal of Pranayama is to increase Pranaso that it can reach out to 'hidden' recesses of the brain. This helps in expanding the human capabilities and hindering degeneration. Proper use of this free source of energy can make significant changes to our health, vigour and self-confidence. At Rasayu we recommend various types of Pranayama.

5 Counselling Counselling is the provision of professional assistance and guidance in resolving personal or psychological problems. Fight with cancer involves more than simply treating the tumor. Patient's state of mind is important. During counselling sessions, we try to resolve conflicts (Physical, Psychological, Social and Financial) that patient s face so that they are better able to fight the disease. Process in counselling: 1. Exploring and identifying the concerns. 2. Understanding these concerns in relation to you, how you think and feel and your life history. 3. Taking action with regard to the concerns, or learning to live with them in a different way. आश व सम स न त वनम व ग भटउत तरस थ न६/४७ It is a kind of treatment in which counselling is done to make adjustments to the stimulus response pattern of the patient.depressive mind set worsens the diseases. This is applicable in physical as well as psychological conditions. So the good mental state always resists diseases. The sprinkling of water supports mind and restores mental balance. Long standing disappointment leads to various psychological disorders. In such conditions apart from medicines assurance has greater impact. At Rasayu we try to address following issues during counselling: Cope with Reactions to Cancer Fear of cancer Changes within body Anxiety about treatment Fear of cancer recurring Feelings of guilt Adapting to side effects (e.g. Loss of appetite, Fatigue) Address Family Issues Family relationships How the family can be supportive?
