One of the distinct characteristics of Ayurveda is the use of herbs and oils—and we’re not basically talking about the ones that you’re going to use for cooking. For the healing masters and for those who believe in the power of Ayurveda, they possess healing abilities, which allow them to easily find the right cure for their illnesses or relax their body and mind.

Here are some of them:

Arjuna. If you’re suffering from a heart condition, this will be the one that will be given to you. A heart tonic, it’s meant to lower not only your pulse rate but also your blood pressure, so there’s a decreased chance of suffering from a heart attack. It can also improve the circulation of blood all over the body, allowing enough oxygen to reach your muscles and your brain.

Ashoka. This one is meant for women. If you’re thinking of having children in the future or you want help on how to take care of your reproductive system, this will be herb that will be given to you. It’s also meant to keep your uterus healthy. Nevertheless, be mindful of getting any kind of Ayurveda herbs and oils when you’re pregnant. Make sure that you can inform your healing masters about your delicate condition.

Bibitaki. If you have an excess kapha, this is the one that will be given to you. This is a very powerful treatment, as it’s composed of three other potent herbs. It is widely used because of its soothing or comforting characteristics, but if you are suffering from constipation or you want to do some cleansing, this is the most effective one available. It can help regulate your bowel movements.

Bhringaraj. Do you feel like you’re getting older or that you are getting more sickly for the past few days or weeks? Then this one is the right treatment for you. It is mainly used to bring back the original state of health of your patta. You can also use this in its oil form, which means you just need to apply the herb topically. It can help bring back the growth of your hair or prevent you from suffering hair loss. It can also improve the general condition of your skin, spleen, and liver. Lastly, it can cure anemia and hepatitis.

Boswellia. Arthritis doesn’t just affect the old ones. As long as you have problems with your joints, there’s definitely a huge chance that you can also get arthritis. To prevent the swelling and to improve the circulation of your blood, as well as to act as support for your bones, you can take in boswellia.

Ashwagandha. This is another herb that is being used for general health. If you’re a man or woman having sexual conditions or problems or if you’re tensed, make it a point to treat yourself with this. It’s also ideal for those who are suffering from insomnia or hormonal problems. After the treatment, you will also feel like you have more energy left in your body.
