By following its basic principles, you can prevent disease, as well as receive comfort and relief from physical and psychological pain. The physiological, emotional and spiritual needs of womanhood are addressed in Ayurveda as per their unique body types. Care is taken to bring harmony and balance into all three of doshas.
