Our moto to reintroduce the ayurvedic medicine to people and its use. Here, we are trying to find out interdisciplinary innovative way to cure chronic disease by using ancient technique. Only the important thing here is bhawana which is given to the cow ghee to make it very strong to cure any kind of disease.

As of now, we know that the human body has three types of dosha and if anything is imbalance in this then our system to introduce for the disease. So, our focus to balance three types of dosha i.e. vata, pitta, kapha.

One more thing is written in the book that is every disease has one root cause which is from our digestive system only. Means, any kind of disease has introduced from our dissipative system because of not removal of toxin which is settled in digestive system and then it settled in our blood stream so cause disease like Kidney stone, calcium deposition in arteries and vain which were responsible for the heart attack, stroke, trauma and so others.
