FAQ
How do I check whether a product is genuine?
Buy from the brand's own storefront or an authorised seller, check for a manufacturing licence number on the packaging, and be sceptical of prices far below the norm.
Are 'ayurvedic' or 'herbal' labels regulated in India?
AYUSH-licensed products carry a licence number, but the approval bar differs from allopathic medicine. A herbal label is not evidence of efficacy.
When should I see a doctor rather than buy a product?
Any persistent symptom, pain, or change warrants a consultation. Over-the-counter products are not a substitute for diagnosis.
