Vijaya in Ayurveda

Vijaya (Cannabis) is a classical Ayurvedic dravya with documented use in traditional formulations for pain, digestive and sleep-related complaints, typically after prescribed shodhana (purification) and in compound preparations. EndoCann frames modern cannabinoid science alongside this classical knowledge.

The AYUSH context

Ayurvedic Vijaya formulations are manufactured and used within India's AYUSH system under applicable licensing. EndoCann's partner formulations are positioned as AYUSH Vijaya preparations intended for use by, or on the advice of, registered practitioners.

Regulatory orientation

Cannabis in India sits within a layered legal framework, including the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, alongside AYUSH and state-level provisions; the treatment of the plant's leaf/seed versus other parts, and state rules, mean the position is nuanced. Practitioners should rely on current statutory guidance and their institution's compliance advice — this page is orientation only and not legal advice.

Prescribing compliantly

EndoCann's DoctorSuite is built for registered practitioners to generate physician-issued prescriptions and itemised proforma invoices, and products & protocols documents composition. Fulfilment is via the partner storefront.
