Introduction
to Ayurvedic Herbal Care

Ayurvedic medicine is a 5000 year old perfected health care
system. It is also known as ayurveda and is practiced by millions
all around the world. This spiritual health care system has
provided cures for all types of illnesses, be it minor cuts
or abrasions to serious life threatening conditions.
The east prides itself on developing good health practices,
a good diet and regular exercise. Unlike the west they do not
judge their health according to the state of your outer body
i.e. fat and muscle. Rather they concentrate on the health of
the inner organs. A good ayurvedic diet and ayurvedic herbal
supplements can help to maintain good internal organ health.
They also start the use of herbal supplements at a relatively
young age. This preventative methodology insures that they have
a better chance of fighting off any diseases or medical conditions
in old age.
The Creator gave many ways to heal bodily afflictions. It is
said that for every ailment known to man, Mother Earth has a
cure. We believe this to be so.
All humans must be attuned with Mother Earth to remain balanced
and healthy. We are part of her, we are her and one day we all
will return to her. In this electronic fast age of concrete,
plastic and the daily grind, we lose connectivity with the peace
and glory found at our feet and all around us. Herbal medicine
helps to ground and bring balance.
It is useful to know herbal and mineral medicines when we find
ourselves or others in serious need of treatment and a medical
professional is not available. Total dependence on doctors and
hospitals is unwise in this uncertain world. Practical knowledge
of emergency medical treatment is important for everyone. Knowing
how herbal remedies can benefit you and your family in your
daily lives is also important.
Use common sense when it comes to mixing herbal remedies with
prescription drugs. Do not do it. We do not advocate the replacement
