Herbal Power

Ancient ayurvedic healers knew that herbs were the repositories of the most concentrated form of nature's intelligence. Researchers today are confirming that herbs contain the richest mixtures of phytochemicals-natural chemicals such as bioflavonoids that offer medicinal and nutritional value. Herbal formulations made with whole herbs, as Maharishi Ayurveda supplements are, work more like foods than like drugs in the body. They offer potent nourishment to the cells and tissues and correct imbalances in the physiology over time, safely, without causing side effects.

How quickly you see results from taking herbal formulations depends on your individual physiology. If a person has a high level of accumulated toxins (ama) blocking the channels of the body, the herbs may take longer to work. The diet and daily routine of the person also has a bearing on how quickly and how well herbs work, as also the health goal being addressed. The product flyers and brochures, and our newsletters, offer dietary and lifestyle recommendations that serve to enhance the benefit of the herbs. Focusing on one or two health goals at a time is best. Try and identify the imbalance that came first, and work on correcting that to start with. Sometimes you may find that clearing the original imbalance addresses some secondary imbalances as well.

Nutritional supplements work best if they are taken regularly, every day. If you tend to forget to take them, devise ways to remind yourself. Make notes in your daytimer or put post-it notes on your computer. Keep them on your dining table. Carry them with you in a tablet dispenser to work.


The Science of Herb Combining

Maharishi Ayurveda herbal formulations are blends rather than single herbs or oils. They epitomize the science of herb combining at its sophisticated best.


The herbs in our formulas are carefully selected and combined to strengthen the formula in different ways:
v

Primary herbs offer targeted benefits for a specific area of health, such as energy.

v

Supporting herbs reinforce the healing action of the primary herbs.

v

Bioavailability herbs help your body assimilate and use the nutrients.

v

Herbal 'co-factors' remove impurities and the toxic byproducts of incomplete digestion from your body.

v

Balancing herbs cancel out any potential discomforts or side effects that can come with the benefits of a particular herb.

Together these different types of herbs create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

We use whole herbs in our formulas, not isolated ingredients, because we understand that Nature's healing wisdom is a delicate balance that is preserved in the whole plant, not an isolated chemical.
