Ayurvedic Website Brings Ancient Health Secrets To Modern World

    TORRANCE, CA, April 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many say the art of herbal healing reached its zenith in the Ayurvedic tradition of ancient India. Still used by a majority of the country's 1.1 billion people, Ayurvedic herbal medicines only became widely available in the west with the advent of online retailers like AyurvedicHerbsDirect.com.

Positioned as the Web's affordable supplier of high quality, all natural Ayurvedic remedies, Ayurvedic Herbs Direct was launched in 2008 by the same group that created ChineseHerbsDirect.com . The site's 300+ Ayurvedic herbal cures, sourced from a select group of seven manufacturers, generally sell for 20-50% off typical retail prices.

Like Chinese medicine, Ayurveda is a holistic system based on the idea that good health depends on maintaining a proper balance of vital energies. Yoga, now practiced by millions of people on all continents, is but one part of Ayurveda, which translates as "the science of life". The sophistication of Ayurvedic medicine is underscored by the fact that it takes five years to obtain an undergraduate degree in the subject in India, where it is taught at over 180 schools of higher learning.

Doctors of Ayurvedic medicine prescribe herbal formulas taking into account the individual's unique physical constitution, environment and other factors, and Ayurvedic Herbs Direct recommends users to consult a doctor before using its products. Most common Ayurvedic formulas have zero or negligible side effects, however, and the National Institute of Ayurveda, an India government institution, notes on its website that

"Simple (Ayurvedic) herbal medicines ..... can be used for the management of common ailments like cough, cold, fever, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, body & joint pains etc, even without the prescription of a doctor. Similarly, herbal tonics/ health foods can also be consumed if the same do not create any alarming discomfort or upsets."

Ayurvedic Herbs Direct offers a collection of these simple, time-tested herbal cures. Some of the site's best selling formulas include:

- Triphala - the most widely used Ayurvedic formulation that is universally recognized for its wide range health benefits. Composed of the dried fruits of three plants native to India, Triphala aids in healing ailments as diverse as fever, asthma and ulcers.
- Ashwagandha - the leaves of the Withania somnifera shrub, which when ingested help reduce anxiety and enhance memory. Scientists at the University of Texas and University of Lepzig (link to page) may have discovered the underlying chemical mechanisms of the plant's amazing effects on the brain.
- Healthy Hair - a formulation of detoxifying herbs and Bhringaraj, a herb used for centuries to promote healthy hair and scalp.
- LiverCare - beneficial effects on liver function of this formulation of traditional Ayurvedic herbs have been observed in over 300 clinical studies since its introduction in 1955.

Ayurvedic Herbs Direct also sells neti pots for cleansing nasal passages. This centuries-old practice is now widely recognized by health experts worldwide as an aid to control sinus discomfort and allergies, to moisten dried nasal membranes and to ease breathing. Neti nasal cleansing gained national attention in the U.S. after it was recommended in a 2007 episode of Oprah Winfrey by the show's resident health expert, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

The above is just a small sampling of Ayurvedic Herbs Direct's line of natural health products . Each herbal remedy's benefits, usage and safety considerations are explained in clear and simple language. Background information on the manufacturer is also provided and, when available, references to scientific studies or clinical trials which the reader can Google for further information.

In these times of costly healthcare, Ayurvedic Herbs Direct offers a treasure trove of affordable, simple, natural medicines and supplements to treat a wide range of conditions and sustain good health. Visitors may find that exploring the wealth of information the site offers on these ancient cures is as enjoyable as reaping the health benefits of its time-tested Ayurvedic remedies.
