Gita Bhawan Rishikesh
Gita Bhawan Ayurved Sansthan Aushadhalaya (Rishikesh, Uttarakhand) aims at promoting the ancient Ayurveda. Medicines are prepared according to the original scriptures using herbs from the Himalayan mountains and water from the holy river Ganges. Impure substances are not utilized here in the making of these medicines as they are forbidden for persons desiring salvation.
The Ayurvedic system of medicine comes from the Vedas, the source of all knowledge. It is a holistic system of treatment in which health is not just absence of disease. The olden day Vaidyas, and some even today, were so adept that they could tell the disease just by feeling the pulse on the wrist. Merely by tasting a particular herb, they could tell which disease it will cure.
