The BIGGEST & MERRIEST SALE of the Year!

You Can Unstress

Within Seconds!

Modern medicine has identified stress as THE leading cause of disease! Most of us experience that the demands of life continue to increase with each passing year. If we are unable to cope, we accumulate stress and fatigue, which adversely affects health.

Ayurveda gives us many answers to address stress. And herbs. Ashwagandha might be the best among them all! Ashwagandha is a world-famous adaptogenic herb that not only helps us cope with stress, but it is also a wonderful herb for improving stamina. In fact, ashwa is the Sanskrit word for ‘horse’; and gandha is the word for ‘smell’. But another meaning of gandha is ‘essential character’. It is the character of horses to be strong. They possess great endurance and can easily cope with ever increasing workloads. Ashwagandha strengthens the nervous system and gives us the ability to withstand the ever-increasing demands of life.

Rasayana and Balya

Ashwagandha is a famous rasayana. The Charak Samhita defines rasayana: yad jarabhyadi nashanam tad rasayanam (that which slows aging and removes imbalances is rasayana.) In addition, ashwagandha has the balya prabhava. Bala can signify different kinds of strength and stamina: mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, immunological. Ashwagandha gives mental and physical strength, as well as sexual stamina.

Ashwagandha Is Contraindicated for High Pitta & Amavisha Conditions

Ashwagandha is contraindicated for most pitta body types, especially when a lot of amavisha (reactive toxins) are in the body because it has an ushna guna (warming physical effect) and ushna virya (heating potency). Ironically, high pitta people are often drawn to ashwagandha because they constantly put more and more stress on themselves and get burned out. Ashwagandha can easily make high pittas go even more into overdrive. So, it may not be the best herb for them, especially compared to herbs, foods and lifestyles that give more soma (cooling, nurturing, and stabilizing vibrational energy to the body). 

This is why Vaidya Mishra formulated many different alternative delivery forms for Ashwagandha. Transdermal creams, oils, roll-ons, transmucosal drops and a spray. The easiest one to use is the spray. Just a couple of squirts and within a minute or so you experience the calm and composure that Ashwagandha can procure!

This holiday season you DON’T have to be stressed! You can organize the merriment and still celebrate the spirit! Try Vaidya Mishra’s Stress-Free Oral Spray.
