Research Process

1. Primary source extraction — Content begins with direct extraction from classical Ayurvedic texts in Sanskrit, followed by translation and contextual interpretation
2. Cross-referencing — Claims are verified across multiple classical sources where possible
3. Modern validation — PubMed and peer-reviewed journals are searched for studies that validate, refine, or contradict traditional claims
4. Expert review — Content is reviewed by practitioners with BAMS/MD (Ayurveda) credentials
