Ayurveda is Sanskrit for knowledge of living. Ayurvedic herbs etc help in keeping one healthy .Yoga is Sanskrit for a state or stature. Yoga helps muscles,bones and joints healthy and functional. Curing otherwise incurable diseases is claimed but not proved.

Theoretically, yes it is. Practically the chances are rare. However they help lessen the intensity of disease. But one should go for these options because there is no other choice anyway. Yoga is also a good defence against any future possible diseases.
