Welcome to the Kayachikitsa Department
Welcome to the Kayachikitsa Department at Himalaya Ayurvedic Medical College & Hospital, where traditional wisdom meets modern wellness. Known as the cornerstone of Ayurvedic General Medicine, Kayachikitsa emphasizes a holistic approach to health, focusing on the balance of mind, body, and spirit.
What is Kayachikitsa?
Kayachikitsa, also known as internal medicine, is the branch of Ayurveda that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of diseases and disorders. It offers a comprehensive approach to health by treating not just the symptoms, but the root causes of illnesses. By restoring balance to the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), dhatus (tissues), and agni (digestive fire), Kayachikitsa promotes long-term well-being.
