Comprehensive Ayurvedic Care for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Kayachikitsa is one of the eight principal branches (Ashtanga Ayurveda) described by Acharya Charaka and is considered the foundation of Ayurvedic clinical practice. The term Kaya refers to the human body, while Chikitsa means treatment. This branch focuses on the holistic management of systemic diseases, addressing not only physical health but also mental and spiritual well-being.
