Ayurvastra: Herbal couture technology in textile

Abstract

Ayurvastra is a branch of India's ancient form of medicine, Ayurveda. Ayurvastra cloth is used by Ayurveda health clinics in the treatment of a broad range of diseases such as diabetes, skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, hypertension, high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, cardiac problems and as general health products. The Ayurvastra reinforces the importance of sustaining the planet for future generations and for the well being of the current generation using age old practices, which do not add up to global warming but helps in minimizing it. It is expected that unique technology and thereby opening up a new area of entrepreneurship, job orientation and economical stability will be welcomed by the society as a whole.
