Department of Kayachikitsa
General Ayurvedic medicine for diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases affecting the whole body — restoring balance across Vata, Pitta, and Kapha through personalised diet, lifestyle, and therapy.
Overview
Root-Cause Care for Whole-Body Health
Kayachikitsa is a core branch of classical Ayurveda focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases and disorders affecting the body. Every treatment plan begins by assessing your unique dosha balance, then integrates diet, lifestyle modification, and mental wellness alongside therapy — addressing the root cause rather than isolated symptoms.
