Solutions on all fronts -- be it related to physical, emotional, mental and/or spiritual diseases. As a matter of fact, it is the rebirth of a science practiced in ancient times throughout the world. HRM is reviving and regenerating this lost practice. In different part of India it is known as Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutations. Similar practice was in Greece, Egypt it was called Heliotherapy, and so too in the Americas -Brazil, Mexico, Peru. The Inca civilization, which spread over S., and N. America practiced it. INTA means sun. Example is the health resort sun temples in Machu Pichu, Peru.
