The subject of Kaya Chikitsa stands for general medicine, established to promote quality education and clinical knowledge for students. It is the first branch among the eight basic specialities of Ayurveda. The aim of Kayachikitsa (Ayurveda) is swasthasya swasthya rakshanam & vikar prashamanam.
Vision
The department envisions developing a folklore research facility in the institute, in collaboration with staff members and alumni. The knowledge of therapeutic use of single drugs from various sources would be pooled to create a larger database, which would then be tested and validated scientifically — providing growth opportunities for graduates, with the results devising overall development of Ayurvedic science.
Mission
The Department of Kaya Chikitsa is pledged to enable students to diagnose patients and use medicines to cure disease, thus reducing the burden on patients, and to be versatile in clinical practice by switching to alternative drugs in the absence of a particular drug.
