India is home to several distinct traditional medicine systems — Siddha, Unani, Sowa-Rigpa, and rich folk traditions — each with unique insights into metabolic health. At 24byMe, we respect these traditions and integrate evidence-based elements into your personalised care plan.
India’s traditional medicine systems extend far beyond Ayurveda. Each has unique diagnostic frameworks and therapeutic approaches that contribute valuable insights to metabolic health.

Various regions
Rich oral traditions of single-herb remedies specific to regions, with generations of empirical knowledge.
