Herbal Medicines
 Since modern allopathic medicines are composed of a single substance, using them is liable to cause side effects. But a use of herbal medicines composed of the great five elements does not lead to unwanted side effects. If herbal medicines are used after ascertaining the nature of the patient the disease can be thoroughly rooted out.
According to Ayurveda our body and herbal medicines found in nature all these are composed of the fine great elements (Pancha Mahabhootas). If the body is affected by a disease it is then cured by the Pancha mahabhootas existing in nature.
People have believed that Ayurveda is based on herbs. But it is treatment based on herbs and yoga. Now people have come to know that herbal treatment has no adverse side effects. Modern medicines on the contrary do have side effects. This is so because in Allopathy compounds are used not medicines based on singular elements. It the quantity of this compound happens to be far more than the capacity of the body then after effects and or side effects are experienced. Now herbal medicines are composed of natural elements that contain supplementary substances that take care of the harmful effect of certain constituent’s parts of the harbs. It is because of this that no side effects are seen. Thus if diagnosis is done in terms of Ayurveda and treatment is accordingly carried out there is no occurrence of side effects. It has also been seen that in Ayurveda one and the same medicine is beneficial for one man while it is harmful to another. The reason for this is simple to understand. If Pitta natured patient is given pitta inducing medicine and if Kafa -natured patient is given kafa inducing then it will not be beneficial to the patient.
The basis of treatment in modern Allopathic system is by prescribing medicines for symptoms such as pain killers for pain. Paracitomol for fever and combiflam for swelling, hormones for deficiency of hormones and various vitamins for deficiency of vitamins and antibiotics against the impact of bacteria. But fever, swelling or pain are merely parts of the body’s alarm system which indicates certain internal disorder. But when these symptoms are suppressed without attempting to eliminate the root cause, this leads to reappearance of the disease in a much more uncontrollable manner. When the bacteria strength is enhanced antibiotics are rendered ineffective. Since minerals, vitamins & Hormones produce adverse effects if taken in higher doses than appropriate to the capacity of the patients. But in Ayurveda, treatment starts only after ascertaining the root cause and treatment for the cause is done and not for the symptoms. As a result of this approach the very cause of the disease is removed. Ayurvedic treatment addresses the disorder that might settle at the DNA level of the cell. Since the medicines used are made of herbs and plants, they do not lead to any adverse effects. At Lavanya we make our own preparations based on herbs and medicinal plants like asav, churna, arka, gutika, vati, ghrita, taila, avaleha etc. with a view to maintaining quality control. These preparations are made strictly in terms of the procedures and materials prescribed in Ayurvedic texts. The problem of taste and large quantity is also associated with Ayurvedic medicines, Lavanya has made the taste acceptable as also made appropriate break through in reducing the or quantity.
