What "handcrafted" actually means here.

We make everything in small batches at our facility in Thiruvallur — not in a contract-manufacturing plant. Sneha-paka (medicated oil cooking) follows the classical four-day protocol. Single-drug raw powders are the same herbs we dispense in the AyurDarshan clinic.

We don't synthesise actives. We don't "draw inspiration from" Ayurveda. We don't put Sanskrit names on products that have nothing to do with the source texts. Every formulation here traces back to the classical formulary — if you want to read the citation, it's on the recipe page.
