Oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. According to Ayurveda, the mouth serves as the entry point to the body’s inner ecosystem, affecting not just digestion but also immunity and overall well-being. That’s why oral care isn’t just about brushing and flossing; it’s about maintaining the balance of your doshas, your oral microbiome, and your daily habits.

Kerala Ayurveda Limited (KAL) enshrines this purest and unbroken Ayurvedic tradition that goes back well beyond 5,000 years. It is one of the oldest (Founded more than 80 years ago) Ayurveda companies in the world, and the only full-spectrum-listed Ayurveda company spanning academies, products, research, clinics, hospitals, resorts, and wellness services.

Rooted in the Ayurvedic discipline of Dantachikitsa (oral care), KAL’s approach blends tradition with modern insights.
