ashwagandha Ashwagandha herb and root extract health benefit and use for stress reduction, anxiety

treatment and relaxation, Withania somnifera plant research studies Ashwagandha is an herb used in Ayurvedic medicine for a number of health conditions. Known by the

botanical name withania somnifera, it is a popular medicinal plant in South East Asia and Southern Europe. Many people use this herb for general vitality, although the effects are not similar to ginseng. Rather than providing restless energy as does ginseng, ashwagandha often causes relaxation.

Benefit Withania somnifera is widely considered as the Indian ginseng. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a rasayana (rejuvenation) and expected to promote physical and mental health, rejuvenate the body in debilitated conditions and increase longevity. Ashwagandha is used to treat a number of disorders that affect human health including central nervous system (CNS) disorders, particularly in epilepsy, stress and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disorders, tardive dyskinesia, cerebral ischemia, and even in the management of drug addiction. The most useful usage is to reduce stress and perhaps aid in sleep. However, if you take a high dosage or a concentrated extract, you may not notice the relaxation effect as much.

Dosage and products sold over the counterA typical dose of ashwagandha is about 500 mg to 1,000 mg of the powder. If the ashwagandha product you have purchased is an extract, such as a 2 to 1 extract or a a 5 to 1 extract, then your dosage would be lower. It is not possible to know which product will work for you best unless you try it.

Bhumi amlaki Product Description Some people think that bhumi amalaki is a kind of amalaki (Indian gooseberry), which is a very

famous medicinal fruit in Ayurveda. By the similarity of name, it's easy to think that bhumi amalaki is related to amalaki, but this is not correct.

Bhumi amalaki is a completely different plant from amalaki. Amalaki is a big tree and bhumi amalaki is a small plant. The two species have very different properties too. The only reason that the names are similar is that bhumi amalaki has many tiny, mustard-seed-sized fruits on its stems which look exactly like the big amalaki fruits that inspired the name.

In Sanskrit the name, bhumi amalaki, is usually written in a combined form according to special sandhi rules (rules for combining syllables in Sanskrit). Instead of "bhumi amalaki" you will often see it written as "bhumyamalaki." The "ya' in the middle of the word is formed when the "i" at the end of "bhumi" combines with the "a" at the beginning of "amalaki."

You will also see the words amalaki and amla used interchangeably. Amla is just a shorthand way of saying amalaki. This applies to the names of both Ayurvedic plants: amalaki and bhumi amalaki.

Bhumyamalaki Is a Great Herb for the Liver The prabhava (special property) of bhumyamla that cannot be predicted by its rasa (taste), guna

Yakrit means "liver," and rasayana is a term used in Ayurveda for anything that removes imbalances and reverses aging. Here is the official definition of rasayana:

GUDUCHI A standardized extract from Tinospora known as

Tinofend has been studied clinically. One study in 75 patients with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) showed statistically significant reduction of symptoms compared to placebo.[5] An independent review of this study concluded that "significant intergroup differences were seen in all symptoms", although studies in larger populations may support this finding.[6]

Tinospora cordifolia and related species such as Tinospora crispa and Tinospora rumphii Boerl are used in Ayurvedic and Jamu herbal medicine. Recent research has demonstrated that a combination of T. cordifolia extract and turmeric extract is effective in reducing the hepatotoxicity which is induced by the combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for treating tuberculosis.[7] Alcoholic extract of the stem shows activity against Escherichia coli. The decoction of the leaves is used for treatment of gout. Its fruit is used in the treatment of jaundice and rheumatism.

GUGGAL Guggul has been a key component in ancient

Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. But has become so scarce because of its overuse in its two habitats in India where it is found — Gujarat and Rajasthan that the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has enlisted it in its Red Data List of endangered species.

Guggul produces a resinous sap known as gum guggul. The extract of this gum, called gugulipid, guggulipid or guglipid, has been used in UNANI & Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional UNANI medicine, for nearly 3,000 years in India.[1] The active ingredient in the extract is the steroid guggulsterone, which acts as an antagonist of the farnesoid X receptor, once believed to result in decreased cholesterol synthesis in the liver. However, several studies have been published that indicate no overall reduction in total cholesterol occurs using various dosages of guggulsterone, and levels of low-density lipoprotein ("bad cholesterol") increased in many people.[2][3]
