AYURVEDA…HERBS FROM INDIA
THAT WORK!
Q What do you know about Ayurvedic nutrition? I've been hearing and seeing a lot about it
lately.
Sharon W.
A. For centuries every geographical region of the
world has developed its own style and combinations of herbal medicine. The study of AYURVEDA (literally meaning “the science of eight”) is
India’s application of the herbs available to that region splashed with a heavy
dose of regional mysticism derived from beliefs in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Most health food stores
now carry a line of top selling Ayurvedic herbal supplements. These ingredients can also be found in
various HBC (health & beauty Care) and household departments.
One area in which
Ayurvedic herbs have been especially effective is anti-inflammatory
substances. Herbs such as TURMERIC (aka.
curcumin, a natural cox-2 inhibitor), BOSWELLIA (suppresses inflammatory
enzymes) and HOLY BASIL (increases immune response) have been consistent best
sellers.
