The Ashtanga Hridaya includes Vyayama within its description of Dinacharya. Vagbhata associates properly performed exercise with lightness of the body, increased capacity for work, improved digestion and reduction of excess body fat. The Charaka Samhita similarly discusses exercise as an important component of maintaining physical health.

Rather than recommending exactly the same routine throughout the year, Ayurveda asks a person to observe the environment and change accordingly.

Ceramat already manufactures bone-graft materials using conventional processes, including hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate and biphasic calcium phosphate. These are calcium phosphate-based biomaterials widely used because their mineral composition resembles that of natural bone. The company also works with bioactive glass and other advanced ceramic materials.
