Ayurvedic Supplements

The ancient Indian medical system, also known as Ayurveda, is based on ancient writings that rely on a “natural” and holistic approach to physical and mental health. Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest medical systems and remains one of India’s traditional health care systems. Ayurvedic treatment combines products (mainly derived from plants, but may also include animal, metal, and mineral), diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Ayruvedic Supplements are dietary supplements of many of the Ayurvedic herbs/spices including Cumin, Turmeric, and Licorice Root, among others.
