PAM = Proprietary Ayurvedic Medicine, CAM = Classical Ayurvedic Medicine. CVC: Cardiovascular, DER: Dermatological, DIG: Digestive, GUS: Genitourinal, MSK: Musculoskeletal, NVS: Nervous, OTH: Others, and RES: Respiratory (following [29]) Note: The liver is included for cardiovascular disease category because liver filters or detoxifies all the blood coming from the digestive tract before the blood circulates back into the heart. In human body, liver is the only organ having two blood supplies: hepatic artery bringing blood from heart and hepatic portal vein brining blood from the intestines.
