gynaec

Ayurveda treats a wide range of gynecological conditions—referred to as Stree Roga and Prasuti Tantra—by focusing on balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), restoring hormonal balance, and detoxifying the body. This approach aims to address the root cause of issues rather than just suppressing symptoms.
