Official Website of Indian Home Remedies and Gardens Promoted by FRLHT

Foundation for Revitalization of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT), an organization that is committed to reviving the local health traditions, has got an excellent website to promote healthy living, the natural way through advice on safe health practices related to primary health care. The information on the website is reliable as it is referenced from authentic medical texts and the living traditions of Ayurveda, Siddha, Gso-rig-pa, and Unani. But the information is not a substitute for a physician. The website contains sections on common ailments, home garden and yoga. Another interesting facility on the site is the opportunity to consult a Vaidya (doctor) online. The website is available in English, Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, Bangala and Kannada. You can visit the website here – Amruth Home Remedies and Garden.
