Since the beginning of time, people resorted to medicinal plants to treat the health problems that came to them, but, more than that, they used herbalism in a preventive way. After nearly two centuries of oblivion, the use of herbal medicines is again gaining ground in a society in which individuals strive to stay healthy without the use of chemicals, using medicines that work according to the body's defenses and rhythms of nature.​ Usually the treatments and herbal products stand out for being:

* Harmoniously assimilable and chemical-free, which act alone, often releasing unwanted toxins in the body; * More easily eliminated by the body; * In most cases practically free of side effects​ . In this Ayurvedic based herbalism training, some of the products to be elaborated are:

- Toothpaste - Deodorant - Creams and lotions for daily use and specific conditions (burns, analgesics, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, etc.) - Massage and daily oils - Compound for strengthening the immune system - Treatment for ears - Various tinctures - Antipyretic compounds - Antiseptic / antibacterial and hemostatic compounds - Medicated honey compounds (antitussive, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic), medicated ghee and medicated aloe vera​ .
