📖About Ayurvedic Herbal Medication
Ayurvedic herbal medication involves prescribing individualised combinations of medicinal herbs, minerals, and classical formulations to treat disease and restore balance among the three doshas according to Ayurvedic principles. Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, the physician selects specific herbs and formulations based on the patient's unique constitution, the nature of their imbalance, and the specific condition being treated. Treatments range from single herb extracts to complex classical formulations that have been used for centuries, prepared as powders, tablets, decoctions, or medicated ghee. Herbal medication is often combined with dietary and lifestyle guidance for a holistic treatment approach.
