The Swasthavritta OPD functions as a preventive and promotive healthcare unit focusing on lifestyle modification, disease prevention, and holistic well-being based on Ayurvedic principles. The OPD provides guidance on Dinacharya (daily regimen), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and mental health practices to maintain health and prevent lifestyle-related disorders.
It serves as an interface between classical Ayurvedic preventive concepts and contemporary lifestyle-related health challenges.
