Ayurveda for Gynecology Includes:
MenstriCare
An herbal blend customized for aid in the relief of menstrual cramping, fatigue, and other symptoms of PMS. It is not meant to replace birth control pills or other medically prescribed regimens. It is also not meant to replace fast-acting pain relievers; it is a preventative herbal herbal supplement taken daily.
UriCare
For normal urine flow and release. This blend features didymocarpus and winter begonia to support kidney and bladder function. Research suggests that didymocarpus is more effective as a phytotherapy than placebo in the reduction and clearance of kidney stones.
MenoCare
Reduces hot flashes and night sweats. This unique blend features ashoka tree bark- long used in Ayurveda for multi symptom menopausal relief. It also features Shatavari to aid the body during the menopausal transition state and its associated physical & emotional.
Ashwagandha
For general stress relief and energy. Ashwagandha, also known as Indian Ginseng, is a well-known adaptogenic herb; according to Ayurvedic practice, it is able to fortify adrenal function and energy, while not being a stimulant like caffeine. So if you are feeling constant fatigue, but are sensitive to the effects of coffee, consider this rejuvenating extract.
Chyavanprash
Taryhe Ayurvedic Superfood. This propriet herbal blend, traditionally taken as a jam-like mixture, is made up of primarily amla fruit. Amla is a fruit with a very high concentration of antioxidants and is used in Ayurveda to boost overall health and immunity.
Turmeric 95
More than just turmeric powder. Himalaya’s Turmeric 95 contains extract with a higher concentration of curcuminoids than powder form. Curcumin is a component of turmeric and is the most studied curcuminoid found in turmeric rhizome. Curcumin is generally anti-inflammatory and especially useful for joint support.
MindCare
For mental sharpness and focus. This herbal blend features bacopa and gotu kola, traditionally used together in Indian medicine for memory, anxiety, and hyperactivity. Some research suggests that it may have protective effects against chemicals indicated in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
StressCare
Upgrades energy. The combined ingredients in this adaptogenic formula nurture the adrenal glands, which control the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) released into the body, supporting energy, vitality and stress response.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, developed over 3,000 years ago in India, is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. It’s based on the idea of balance in bodily systems and uses diet, herbal treatment and yogic breathing. It’s focus is largely preventative, to promote good health, not fight disease; but, treatments may be geared towards specific health problems.
Ayurvedic herbs are a key component of ayurveda. In general, practitioners use herbs to cleanse the body, boost defence against disease, and keep the mind, body and spirit in balance.
Ayurveda uses well-balanced combinations of plants in synergistic formulas. The art of combining is based on strict principles. Many of the herbs influence health in more than one way. The main ingredient is the herb the action of which is closest to the required treatment result. Some of the other herbs enhance desired action while others are added to help their assimilation by means of stimulating digestion. Certain herbs stimulate cleansing processes so there is to be no accumulation of toxins.
