Ayurvedic medicines are part of the ancient Indian holistic healing system, Ayurveda, which dates back over 3,000 years. Ayurveda emphasizes balance in the body, mind, and spirit for overall health and well-being. It uses natural substances like herbs, minerals, and plant extracts to prevent and treat illnesses.

Key Principles of Ayurvedic Medicines:

• Tridosha Theory: Ayurveda believes in balancing three fundamental energies (doshas) in the body:

  • Vata (air and space): Governs movement and communication.

  • Pitta (fire and water): Controls digestion, metabolism, and energy.

  • Kapha (earth and water): Manages structure, immunity, and fluid balance.

• Personalized Treatment: Ayurvedic treatments are tailored to an individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti) and imbalances (Vikriti).

• Holistic Approach: Focuses on treating the root cause rather than just symptoms.
