Herbal medicines have been used for thousands of years in the treatment and prevention of disease and ailments, and have specific meaning in Ayurvedic medicine. In this blog post, we\u2019ll look at what Ayurvedic medicine is and the meaning of a number of common herbal medicines used in Ayurveda.<\/p>\n

What is ayurvedic medicine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ayurveda was developed in India more than 5000 years ago and is concerned with balancing the three interdependent mechanisms known as doshas: vata, pitta<\/strong>, and kapha<\/strong>. Ayurvedic medicine uses highly individualized treatments to address and heal ailments and imbalance including lifestyle changes, diet, a cleanse and detoxification process known as Panchakarma<\/a> as well as herbal compounds and medicines.<\/p>\n

Read our interview with Ayurvedic practitioner<\/span> Todd Caldecott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Turmeric: the best Ayurveda medicine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Turmeric, the product of the Curcuma longa<\/em> plant, is known as a powerful anti-inflammatory<\/strong> with multiple medicinal uses. In Ayurvedic medicine it is believed to balance the three doshas and is taken either internally as a tea or powder or externally as a cream or topical ointment. It is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions as well as liver disorders, rheumatism, allergies and coughs, and is also considered an excellent aid to the digestive system. Applied topically it is known to treat sprains and swelling.(1)<\/p>\n

Turmeric is also great for dogs! This post from Simple Wag<\/a> contains some fun & helpful infographics!<\/p>\n

The many health benefits of Ginger<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Ayurveda medicine ginger, another anti-inflammatory, is known to destroy toxins, ease digestion<\/strong> and prevent nausea, reduce feelings of cold, and alleviate coughing and breathing difficulties. Its versatility was noted in ancient Ayurvedic texts and today it is commonly used in home remedies in India and throughout the Western world. (2) In scientific literature, its anticancer potential<\/strong> is also well documented. (3) Given its effectiveness and versatility ginger is often described by Ayurvedic practitioners as vishwabheshaja<\/em>, \u201cthe universal medicine\u201d, and the root can be eaten raw, lightly stir-fried with other vegetables, boiled as a tea, or ground into a powder depending on the required treatment.<\/p>\n

Coriander, the self-healing herb<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In India coriander is referred to as dhanya<\/em> or dhanyaka<\/em>, meaning \u201cthe rich one\u201d, and has many therapeutic and culinary uses. (4) In Ayurvedic medicine, coriander is considered to pacify the three doshas and is commonly used for fevers and indigestion<\/strong>. The seeds and oil are the most frequently used components of coriander, but the leaves \u2013 cilantro \u2013 can also be used, especially in cooking. For a quick home remedy, you can try a teaspoon of roasted coriander and cumin seeds to help with abdominal cramps<\/strong> or gas after a meal!<\/p>\n

Guduchi – essential part of the Ayurvedic diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Less well known in the West, Guduchi is a widely used and very important medicine in Ayurveda. A climbing shrub, it often seen in India growing up mango or neem trees. Like turmeric, it can be taken internally or topically, and the dried stem is often administered in powder form although the roots and leaves are also important. In Ayurveda, it is known as the \u201cone which protects the body\u201d<\/strong> and is used to balance the doshas and treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, skin disorders and fever.<\/p>\n

Ashwagandha – plant-based anxiety relief<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifer<\/em>) is an extremely well respected herb in Ayurveda with many applications and methods of preparation. An adaptogenic herb, it is gaining attention in the West for its ability to treat anxiety and depression<\/strong> as effectively \u2013 if not more so \u2013 than prescription drugs. (5) This herbal medicine is also known to help with adrenal fatigue and thyroid problems, and is commonly taken as a powder, often mixed with warm milk and honey as a bedtime drink, although it is also available as a tablet or liquid extract.<\/p>\n
