Ayurved is an ancient form keeping the human body fit using traditional principles of healing. We take a close look at the R&D facilities that develop herbal medicine and how quality control is practised. Are there tests done to prove some of the products? Does the use of heavy metals in Ayurvedic medicine cause any harm or how is the toxicity blunted?
