Ayurvedic herbs
The use of medicinal herbs is intrinsic to Ayurvedic practice. For each herb used in Ayurveda, there is an understanding of the plant’s actions and energetics, encompassing the temperature, quality, vipaka (post-digest effect) and influence on the doshas (constitutions), dhatus (tissues), and srotas (channels).
To learn of the virtues of medicinal plants used in Ayurveda, such as brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and amla (Phyllanthus emblica), explore our Ayurvedic herb monographs below.
