Ayurvastra cloth is used by Ayurvedic health clinics for the treatment of a broad range of diseases such as diabetes, skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, hypertension and high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, and even some forms of cancer. Ayurvastra clothing is believed to help restore balance within the body and strengthen the immune system. Ayurvastra fabric is completely free of synthetic chemicals and toxic irritants and is totally organic, sustainable and biodegradable.

Every step in the preparation of Ayurvastra fabric and clothing is carefully and precisely controlled. Ayurvastra, as a branch of Ayurveda begins with 100% organic cotton that has been handloomed – no machine processing, no chemical additives to prepare the cotton fibres for spinning and weaving, no chemical finishes. The organic cotton yarn or fibres are then dyed in a carefully controlled mixture of herbal dyes depending upon the disease or ailment being treated. For diabetes, mimosa pudica (touch-me-not), cumon / cumin seeds, champa flower and shoe flower (hudahal) are combined in the herbal dye. The main herbs used in the herbal dye for arthritis are curry leaves and apocynceae. For skin diseases, the herbs used are turmeric, neem and sandalwood. Dyes for Ayurvastra fabric typically contain between 40 and 60 specifically blended and carefully prepared medicinal herbs, plants, flowers, roots and barks. The temperatures of the dyes, the duration and number of the dye soaks, the blend of herbs, and even the equipment used are carefully controlled.
