The universe is composed of these five elements. The human body is also composed of the same five elements, being a miniature universe. Good Health can be maintained only by a balanced and controlled functioning of each of these elements. Diseases are caused when there is an imbalance in these elements. These elements can be balanced in a number of ways. One of the easiest ways is practising Mudra Therapy as it is the most simple thing to do anywhere, any time and costs nothing.
