Their use and benefits
These ancient Ayurvedic formulations aren't just remedies, but time-tested ways to keep the body healthy. While they may take longer than modern medicines to show results, their healing is deeper and more sustainable because they address the root cause rather than symptoms.
But because not all herbs suit every body type or condition, it is best to consume these in consultation or under the guidance of an expert.
