Dr. Vasant Lad: Ayurvedic First Aid And Pain Management, Part 1

“Pain is a universal symptom from which many people desperately seek relief. Ayurveda views pain as the body’s method of prompting self-awareness, by communicating that something is wrong and needs attending to. It is the language of the body.”

Vasant Lad,MASc

“Everything is medicine but we should know how to use it.”

Vasant Lad, MASc

First aid therapy in Ayurveda is called sadyah phaladai chikitsa or “that which is instantly fruit-giving.” Whether it is a headache, backache, painful menstruation, bug bite, allergy, nosebleed or other non-emergency* situation, Ayurveda provides natural, safe, and effective alternatives to conventional medicines, with many remedies no farther than your kitchen!
