Types of 7 Herbal Preparation

 


TABLETS & CAPSULES:
Herbal formula tablets and capsules are available for specific conditions and syndromes. Tablets and capsules are preferable if you simply can't get used to the taste of particular herbs, or in the case of a substance such as cayenne pepper, which needs to be taken in capsule form to insulate you from the buring sensation.


 

POWDERS: Powdered herbs that you mix with liquid or ghee (clarified butter) and drink or eat and thus expose to your taste buds.

 

TONICS: Liquid preparations that have an instant effect on body.

 

PASTES: Containing organic minimally processed sugars with herbs.

 

MEDICATED OILS & GHEES: Herbs which are cooked in oils or ghee (clarified butter). These medicated oils and ghees provide lurication and a vehicle for the herbs to better penetrate the tissues and therefore be more effective.

 


CHURNAS:
The simplest , least expensive way to incorporate spice therapy into your life is through the use of churnas. Churnas are combinations of powdered spices with all six tastes with either vata, pita, or kapha type spices predominating. To use, you simply sprinkle on your food at least once a day, just like salt and pepper.


 


GUGGLES:
Guggula compounds come in several types, each made with resin of guggul, a relative of myrrh. They are used primarily to treat nervous system disorders. Gugula may also be combined with yogarash, ginger, and triphala to produce a purification compound. Pregnancy is contradicted for guggul use.
