Samana Chikitsa is one of the two main types of Ayurvedic treatments, focusing on managing imbalances through gentle and non-invasive methods.

This approach is particularly effective for managing chronic conditions, alleviating symptoms, and restoring harmony in the body without introducing stress or intense interventions.
