How are ayurvedic products made?

Ayurvedic medicines are based on plants, animals extract and minerals

both in single-ingredient drugs and compound formulations, however,
Ayurveda does not rule out any substances from being used as a potential
source of medicine. ​Ayurvedic medicines are prepared according to the
Prakruthi of a person and the therapeutic effect needed. The constituents
that make up the medicine are obtained from nature and made ready with
great care. The main advantage of Ayurvedic medicine is that it does not
contain any harmful ingredients and can be used safely.

In Ayurvedic preparations, the part of an herb is chosen and used

depending on where its medicinal value lies and its curative effects on the
body. Some examples are listed below:

infusion.
