Why this site?
Ayurveda deserves better than the marketing that surrounds it. Ayurveda Guide is an independent reference site: every article distinguishes what belongs to tradition, what the available studies say, and what calls for caution — drug interactions, product quality, heavy metals. Our editorial method is public, and our safety guide is the article we recommend you read first.
