A Vaidya is a traditional physician in the field of Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine that originated in India. Vaidyas are trained in herbal remedies, dietary practices, and holistic approaches to health. They focus on balancing the body's energies, known as doshas, to promote overall well-being. In addition to treating illnesses, Vaidyas often provide guidance on lifestyle choices, including yoga and meditation, to enhance physical and mental health. Their practices emphasize prevention and the importance of maintaining harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, making them integral to the Ayurvedic healing process.
