Is Bal Chikitsa free to use?
Yes, you can start for free. Download the Android app or create a free website account to use the WHO Growth Assessment and a demo Dose Calculator. Some tools, such as the full drug database, OPD manager, reports, and the parents’ vaccination and milestone tools, are part of the paid plans. See Plans for details.
Does it work offline?
Absolutely. The drug database, dose formulas, and growth chart tools all work offline. No internet required after download.
Which dose calculation formulas are included?
Bal Chikitsa includes 7 standard formulas — Young's, Cowling's, Clarke's, Dilling's, Fried's, Body Weight, and BSA-based calculations — with step-by-step guidance.
Is this app for Ayurvedic doctors only?
While designed specifically for Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic Pediatrics) practitioners and students, MD scholars, UG students, and researchers in related fields will also find it useful.
How many drugs are in the database?
The app currently includes 200+ Ayurvedic drugs with complete details — Rasa, Guna, Virya, Vipaka, Prabhava, Anupana, Sevana Kaal, and clinical pearls from classical references.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The Android app does not collect personal or patient data. On the website, calculations run in your browser; only items you explicitly save (reports, prescriptions, letterhead) or send (appointment request) are stored, privately, in your account. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
