The science behind AAVIE: based on Ayurvedic principles
How your answers become a personalised supplement, and the traditional ideas behind each step.
AAVIE is based on Ayurvedic principles. Ayurveda describes each person by their natural constitution (Prakriti), their current imbalance (Vikriti), the strength of their digestion (Agni) and signs of incompletely processed material (Ama). AAVIE turns questions about these into a personalised supplement selection, which a Vaidya reviews before it ships.
What “based on Ayurvedic principles” means
Ayurveda is a traditional system of knowledge. AAVIE applies its framework to women’s cycle and hormonal-balance support. This page explains that framework. It does not present clinical results, and AAVIE makes no treatment claims.
The five ideas AAVIE reads
| Idea | Plain meaning | What the assessment looks at | How it shapes your supplement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prakriti | Your natural constitution | Body, mind and routine tendencies | Sets your baseline |
| Vikriti | Your current imbalance | Cycle, sleep, stress, energy right now | Shapes what you need this cycle |
| Agni | Your digestive fire | Appetite, digestion, regularity | Influences which herbs are chosen |
| Ama | Signs of sluggish digestion | Heaviness, tongue coating, low appetite | Gives weight to digestive support |
| Doshas | Vata, Pitta, Kapha | Patterns across all of the above | Ties the signs together |
The eight things your supplement is built from
Your supplement is shaped by eight parameters: your body type (Prakriti), cycle pattern, flow, inflammation, stress, metabolism, digestion and nutrition. They are combined for you each cycle, and a Vaidya reviews the result.

From your answers to your supplement
- You answer questions about your cycle, body, sleep, stress, digestion and routine. This is your body intelligence at work: signals you already give.
- Your report describes your Prakriti and current Vikriti, with Agni and Ama signals.
- A rules-based engine built with our Vaidya team proposes a herb selection. Each herb is described in Ayurveda by its rasa and guna.
- A Vaidya reviews the selection, can change it and signs it off. See how the review works.
- You reassess each cycle, because your Vikriti changes.

AAVIE is based on Ayurvedic principles, a traditional system of knowledge. This page explains the framework. It does not present clinical results, and AAVIE makes no treatment claims.
What does “based on Ayurvedic principles” mean?
It means your assessment is read through traditional ideas such as Prakriti, Vikriti, Agni and Ama, and your supplement is selected and reviewed by a Vaidya using that framework.
Does AAVIE use modern medical information too?
AAVIE reads cycle information with standard medical reference ranges in mind, such as typical adult cycle lengths. It does not diagnose conditions, and it points you to a doctor when your answers suggest you should see one.
