Ayurveda is an ancient medicinal body of knowledge that dates back to the Tamil Siddhas in the South over 10,000 years ago. If used correctly, it is an easy way to restore balance, health and overall wellbeing. Whether it will work for you depends largely on whether you know which Ayurvedic herbs will suit your condition. So, let’s explore!
- Ashwagandha
- Brahmi
- Neem
- Amalaki
1. Ashvagandha
Ashvagandha is an active adaptogen, which means that it beautifully adapts itself to what your body needs. Additionally, it can help with the following –
- Increasing vitality and energy
- Balancing stress hormones
- Reducing adrenal fatigue
You can either use Ashvagandha powder as a tonic in the morning or take it as a supplement.
2. Brahmi
What reiterates that Brahmi is the ultimate tonic for the brain is that its leaves are even shaped that way. It balances both the left and right hemispheres of your brain to ensure that you function brilliantly as a whole. It can even strengthen your intuitive capabilities.
Most of the Ayurvedic brain-boosting supplements contain Brahmi. Again, you can either take in a powdered tonic form or use it as a supplement.
3. Neem
The flowers of the neem tree are so medically beneficial that the plant is worshipped in several cultures. Here is a brief list of their benefits –
- Powerful blood purifier and detoxifier
- Cures eczema and psoriasis
- Eases joint and muscle pain
- Helps with acne and dandruff
- Has antiviral and antibacterial properties
It is effortless to use neem, and you can find it in toothpaste, shampoos and even as oil in itself, which will be great for your skin and hair.
4. Amalaki
Amalaki or amla is a small and round fruit that is a storehouse of Vitamin C. It is native to Southeast Asia. Besides powerful antioxidating properties, here are the benefits it brings with itself –
- Balances doshas
- Boosts immunity
- Promotes longevity
You can either consume amla in powder form or delicious candied form. It also forms one of the core ingredients in chyawanprash.
