How Ojavi turns these herbs into your remedy

In a book, herbs are just descriptions. In Ojavi they become decisions — the app reads your dosha and tells you not only what a herb does, but whether it's right for you, how much to take, and what to take it with.

Matched to your dosha

Every herb shows whether it pacifies or aggravates your Vata, Pitta and Kapha — so you choose plants that bring you back to balance, not push you further out.

Dose & anupana made clear

See the typical dose and the right vehicle (anupana) — honey, warm water, ghee — for each herb. That detail is often what decides whether a remedy actually works.

Build your personal kit

Search by the action you need — digestion, calm, sleep — and bookmark the herbs you reach for, so your go-to remedies are always a tap away.

Use them with confidence

Clear cautions tell you when a herb is best avoided, so you work with these powerful plants safely.

Open the Ojavi app for every herb's dose, vehicle, cautions and dosha effects — matched to your own constitution.
