Ayurveda isn't just green powders and decoctions. It's deeper.

When people talk about Ayurveda, they often picture a cup of bitter kwatha or a mix of churnas. But that’s only scratching the surface.

Did you know?
Ayurveda includes:

Mineral-based drugs (Rasa aushadhis)

Metallic Bhasmas (like Swarna, Rajata, Abhraka)

Animal-origin substances (Shankha, Muktā, Gomaya, etc.)

A whole system of Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), Manas (mind care), and Panchakarma for detox.

It’s a complete medical science, not just a plant-based wellness trend.

So next time you think of Ayurveda, think beyond that green powder and decoction.

So true! Many people think Ayurveda is just about herbs and bitter drinks, but it’s actually a deep and complete system of medicine. It also uses minerals, metals, and even some animal based products.

Insightful! Yes I do agree Ayurveda is not only about green powders and decoctions, it’s far beyond that. The panchkarma therapy of Ayurveda which has been mostly valued these days for its importance in detoxification. But not only this, Ayurveda also holds strong roots in lifestyle development.

I’ve realized Ayurveda is much deeper than just churnas and kwathas. It’s a science that looks at the whole person - body, mind, lifestyle. I used to overlook its value, but now I see how its principles of balance and personalization can beautifully complement modern care. It deserves more respect and deeper study.

Absolutely! :herb: Most people don’t realize how deep and diverse Ayurveda truly is. It’s not just about herbs it’s a structured system with its own pharmaceutics, diagnostics, and therapies. Happy to dive deeper if anyone’s curious!

Ayurveda is far more than herbs and home remedies it’s a vast, time-tested medical science blending minerals, metals, animal products, diet, lifestyle, mental health, and detox therapies into one holistic system. Limiting it to green powders overlooks its depth, diversity, and scientific sophistication.

Absolutely, Ayurveda isn’t just about herbal teas or powders. At its heart, it’s a whole approach to well-being, rooted in understanding your daily rhythms, nurturing your digestion, and balancing body, mind, and spirit. Small practices like adjusting your sleep-wake pattern, mindful eating, or a calming oil massage can really realign your health. It’s less about quick fixes and more about daily harmony.
