Explore the intersection of traditional healing and modern medicine in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of medicine, emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. It remains deeply woven into the country’s healthcare landscape, practiced in both rural clinics and modern integrative hospitals. Alongside Ayurveda’s ancient holistic framework, Homeopathy is also widely practiced system, offering a personalized approach to healing that resonates especially in rural and underserved communities.
