AROMATHERAPY AND THE CORRECTION OF DOSHA IMBALANCE

utilizes the positive effects of plants and herbs for the
treatment of diseases and disorders. Plants that are important
to ayurveda have been collected majorly from the indian subcontinent
and usually offer a good value for a lesser price.Ayurveda
also employs medicated creams, lotions and oils for treatment.

dried ones or oils as they lack the essential healing properties.

come in handy so they are mostly prescribed.
