How are herbs used in Ayurveda?
During an Ayurvedic Consultation, a practitioner may recommend herbal formulas to bring the body back into balance. Herbs are used in Ayurveda to help awaken the body’s own healing response. The body’s bio-receptors are designed to recognize the vibration of other biological organisms such as plants. These receptors lock and recognize one another. Stimulation occurs, reminding the body to work towards maintaining harmony. Ayurvedic herbs and herbal formulas are a gentle and highly powerful therapeutic tool used with great reverence in this tradition.
