Guduchi is known primarily for its rasayana properties: full rejuvenation for all 7 physical bodily tissues, organs and organ systems, and the mind. It reawakens and supports the intelligence at the cellular level. Supplies nurturing and nourishment to all aspect of the physiology. Guduchi is a superfood if ever there was one! And that’s why one must be careful, because although it has a rejuvenating (rasayana) prabhava or post-digestive effect, it also has a powerful sodhana (purifying) or cleansing prabhava. The beauty of Guduchi Satwa is that retains all the rasayana value without much of its shodana prabhava, or purifying action, making this formula unique in its gentle rasayana properties without detox side-effects. My SVA practitioners, and myself, have seen that many people simply cannot handle the cleansing power of Guduchi. Even minimal doses set off detox crises. This is the beauty of this Guduchi Satwa: it is the best formula for whoever needs it but cannot handle its detoxing properties. Interestingly, it retains the rasayana value and loses excess detox without any cooking or samskar (processing).
• Jivanti: It carries the most amazing property, or prabhava, that of restoring life back to lifeless bodies. In another words, it is life supporting – a nectar that restores pranic flow.
• Somavalli: It is full of soma.
• Rasayani: It is a true rasayana – rasayana number one, which can reverse aging and support the immune system and detoxify. There are so many ways it acts as rasayana, preventing disease and reversing aging. In this sense, it is the number herbal formulation one can and should take on an ongoing basis as a general rejuvenative.
• Mandali devanirmita: this means it was made by the gods, several gods. In that sense, it carries the blessings of all the gods.
• Sangrahini: It helps to accumulate or build-up the dhatus. It works in the sandhis (gaps) between the dhatus to enhance the absorption of nutrients to build and strengthen the dhatus. Thus, if there is any dhatu kshaya (depletion), it helps build or maintain the dhatus by enhancing absorption.
• Dosatrayamatr: It pacifies all three doshas.
• Vaksyagnidipini: Vaks means ‘heart’ and Guduchi enhances the flame of sadhak agni. Guduchi does this by cleaning the vibrational gap of the heart. It helps us digest emotional stress or emotional thoughts by cleaning the gap of sadhak agni.
hello hope all is well. question: what is the difference between Guduchi Satwa and guduchi powder? and why Guduchi Satwa so expensive oppose to guduchi powder? your help is needed as soon as possible. thx. ps i was told by a practioner to purchase one but trying to figure out the difference. As i did not see a write up for guduchi powder , so i was guessing its the same as guduchi satwa. thx
Hi Asanti, thank you for your question.
Guduchi Satwa comes from the stem of the Guduchi plant, it is less detoxifying and therefore necessary for certain patients but harder to acquire and therefore more expensive.
If price is a factor, consider asking your practitioner if one of the transdermal Guduchi formulations might give you the benefits of guduchi without the overwhelming power of the crude herb.
