Ayurveda and You

In Ayurveda the concept of “Totality” prevails. Ayurveda is a non-divisive science of life where a human-being or plant or a mineral substance are considered as “complete individuals” in their totality and thus researched, analyzed, described or treated as an entity of their own.

Like for humans, Ayurveda also describes plant and matter by its looks behavioral traits, characteristic qualities, likes & dislikes, compatibilities and incompatibilities with other plants and matter, resultant actions, transformations or behavior when it meets with the human body of a particular type (Kapha, Pitta or Vatta) etc.

Not much of the Original Formulary is available today, though the detailed description on the qualities of many plants & substances is available. Research still goes on in India to rediscover the Ayurveda and today the list of known plant substance is over 2,000.

Thus, the art lies in the deep study of the characteristics of the plant matters, researching and experimenting with each individually and then in combinations, varying the proportions and dosages; then blending them in the right proportions to give a supportive or synergistic effect to give the desired result. In this endeavor it is essential to avoid the combinations of inimical plants or properties of plants during blending. Fine tuning the recipes usually makes very effective products which give satisfying results.

Also, many of the base carrying substances used in original Ayurveda may not prove very pleasing in use today, for instance Clarified Butter. Therefore a careful and neat blending of these herb-extracts must be made in natural bases (of vegetable origin) which do not interfere with, act against, or suppress the active qualities of the extracts and yet are acceptable in modern time usage.

Lastly, preservation of these botanical formulations must be done to prepare the product for a reasonable shelf-life, and yet the preservatives should be non-toxic. Effort is made to derive these form natural sources as far as possible.

Ayurveda is a definite science, and follows strict discipline in recognition, extraction and formulation of plant materials for treatments. It follows a definitive path, thus, by just blending different substances from the plant kingdom does not necessarily produce good therapeutic products. A good Ayurvedic product will show its superiority in use over other so called ‘natural’ products, almost immediately.

It must also be noted that in nature, effective substances are not necessarily innocent, they can be harmful too if used in excess. However, nature provides protection against the ill-effects of these active substances and these come through the same plant and are an integral part of the extract therefore, unless chemically isolated, most active plant extracts come with their own protection are safe in use, and behave quite differently to chemically synthesized or isolated Substances.

Ayurveda has a proven track record of being a natural medicine and treatment compendium of well researched and experimented herbal & natural therapies.

Herbline products will prove the superiority of this system of medicine when applied correctly by their true efficacy. Usually results are noticeable within days if not minutes.
