Griha Vaidyam

Ayurveda is one of the most lasting contributions of our great acharyas and rishis to mankind. It is
a system of medicine since centuries in India.

As a highly evolved system of medicine, Ayurveda deals not only with prevention and treatment
of diseases also with social aspects of human existence.
Ayurveda is not just a science of medicine; it is all comprehensive study of life in all its variety and
magnitude.

Beside English names, names in different languages like Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil,
Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali and Oriya are mentioned for the convenience of the user.

Unlike other systems of medicine, this indigenous science creates a deeper awareness about
temporal and psychic problems.

Scientific names accepted by Ayurvedicians for all the drugs are given and the controversy is
avoided.

I am hopeful that this Griha Vaidyam will be useful to the common man in general and rural
masses in particular.
