Ayurvedic and Herbal
Ayurvedic and herbal practices focus on natural healing using plant-based remedies. Ayurvedic medicine, rooted in ancient Indian traditions, emphasizes balance in the body through diet, lifestyle, and herbal treatments. Herbal medicine utilizes the therapeutic properties of plants to treat various ailments, promoting overall well-being. Both approaches aim for holistic health and prevention.
