Ashtavidha Shastra Karma: Unveiling Ayurvedic Surgical Principles at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we integrate the profound wisdom of Ashtavidha Shastra Karma, the eight essential surgical principles of Ayurveda, into our healthcare practices. Guided by the expertise of Dr. Shyam Prasad P.S. and our team of accomplished Ayurvedic surgeons, we deliver minimally invasive procedures tailored to address diverse health concerns effectively and holistically.

  3. Focus on Healing: Post-operative care includes herbal medicines, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes to accelerate recovery and prevent complications.
  4. Addressing Root Causes: By restoring doshic balance, these procedures target the underlying causes to prevent recurrence of ailments.
