Remedies appear throughout the classical corpus as ethical and spiritual technologies: mantra to refine attention, dāna to rebalance exchange, vrata to train discipline, ratna to stabilise a weak current. The intent is not magical thinking; it is moral engineering that changes what you notice and how you act.
Texts such as Phaladeepika discuss planetary conditions, strengths, and the proportional use of remedies, always subordinating them to judgement and timing. We treat these measures as adjuncts, not shortcuts, and design them to be practicable for modern life.
