Ayurveda is beneficial for the environment in several ways: 1) Ayurveda promotes forestation by cultivating herbs used for medicine and utilizing whole plants rather than extractions, which reduces environmental impact. 2) The waste produced by Ayurvedic hospitals and medicines is biodegradable and can be disposed of safely in the earth. 3) Ayurveda advocates animal conservation and uses animal products sustainably without killing animals when possible.

prevents the diseases with the products of
environment.

exists. We can also say like this Environment
will be Sustained till Ayurveda exist.

4. Forestation
• Ayurveda is the major system of medicine
which use small shrubs to big trees for various
purposes.
• To that Ayurvedics follow certain guide lines
for collection and cultivation.
• So to gain the herbal medicine Ayurvedics do
forestation and cultivation.
• Utilization of drug as a whole rather than
Extraction makes low utilization of plants,
which is also good thing to keep the earth
green.

5. Biodegradable
• The Hospital wastes of Ayurveda are almost
biodegradable.
• The medicines are of Herbal or Mineral or a
mixture of both which are easy to dispose in
to the earth after their expiry.
• The pharmaceutical waste of Ayurveda is also
biodegradable and some of them are good
manure for cultivation.
• The plastic and other artificial materials not
used for treatment makes Ayurveda an Eco
friendly system.

6. Animal conservation
• Animal products are used for various purposes
in Ayurveda.
• To do so Ayurvedics maintain animal
conservation .
• The products used from animals are milk,
hoofs, hair, horns etc. mostly no need to kill
the animal.
• The above point is clearly mentioned for two
purposes to give relief to the animal lovers
and to protect the word conservation.

7. Detoxifying techniques
• Ayurveda specified certain plants having this
Detoxifying nature.
• By using these plants we can detoxify a
poisoned man as well as a poisoned
Environment(water , air , soil etc).
• Detoxification means a lot, its not simply
sense poisoned is detoxified.
• Eg: fluorosis is like a poisoning which effects
people of Nalgonda a lot which is answered
by Ocimum (Tulsi )plant.

8. Techniques for optimum consumption
• In Ayurvedic system each and every part of
the environment given importance.
• Which makes the utilization of natural
resources from Daily usage to the Drug.
• Eg: Neem- plant is used for
Twigs-tooth brushing and tongue cleaning.
Leaves-for medicating the bathing water.
Seed oil –for external application over scalp for
healthy hair etc.

9. Eco friendly attitude
• Ayurveda treat a Human-Plant-Animal a like..
• The evidence for this is Ayurveda for Humans ,
Vriksha Ayurveda for Plants, Pasu Ayurveda
For Animals.
• Atmavat sarva bhutani- Bhuta daya-these are
the basic values taught by Ayurveda.
• Yagna-japa-homa-bali etc are included in the
treatments of Ayurveda which are having their
direct effect on Environment as well as
wellbeing of individual.

10. Conclusion

also taught us to love nature and live with
nature.
