BAIDYA FAMILY STEWARDSHIP BAGBAZAR · KATHMANDU

SECTION 04 / CLINICAL STEWARDSHIP

REF. SKA-PRAC-04

Ayurveda is not simply what we sell.
It is the practice we inherited.

Transmitted across generations of practicing Baidyas, our clinic maintains pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha), classical compounding, and dispensary practice at this same address in Bagbazar — as it has for generations.

The formulations on our shelves are compounded according to authoritative pharmacopeias—not as museum specimens, but as daily clinical care prepared for the individual constitution of each patient who enters our dispensary.
