The herbs used in the production of Ayurvedic medicine are very nutritive, with great healing properties. The herbal treatments of Ayurveda work wonderfully together and are widely encouraged as an efficient and inexpensive alternative to drugs.
Ayurvedic medicines prepared from herbs have no known side effects, with each aromatic and flavourful herb having its own unique medicinal properties. Ayurvedic therapies are perfect for promoting balance between the mind and spirit. They effectively defend against various diseases and infections; also promote rapid recovery and encourage good health and longevity.
The aim of Ayurveda is achieving perfect balance between both internal and external features, rather than focusing on the curing of diseases. The herbal therapies promote internal harmony between various body parts, in addition to encouraging harmony with nature and the environment. Ayurvedic therapies aim to rejuvenate the entire system rather than focusing on any specific organ.
