Plant-based
medicine, from India to the world

Ayurveda, or the study of life sciences, is an ancient Indian reserve of plant-based knowledge. Ayurvedic medicines and supplements are held in high regard as alternatives to chemically synthesised Western medicine the world over. Yoga and meditation are wellness and healing practices that come from the same home as Ayurveda. Indians have honed and practised a highly effective system of healthcare and wellness for three thousand years that is proactive more than it is reactive.
