Featured Ayurvedic Herbs

A quick glimpse into some vital single herbs used in traditional therapeutic practice.

Dampness-draining herbs

Isabgol

Sanskrit: Iṣadgola

Plantago seed is a widely used herb in Ayurvedic & Chinese medicine for urinary health and fluid balance. It helps cool the system from the urinary tract, relieve difficult or painful urination, and manage watery diarrhea by redirecting accumulation fluid to the bladder. It also supports eye health and helps resolve thick phlegm / kapha in the lungs.

Shita Virya (Potently Cold)

Spirit-calming herbs

Jin Bo

Gold foil is a mineral-based substance used in Ayurvedic & Chinese medicine primarily as a spirit-calming agent. It has a heavy, settling quality that helps anchor the mind during acute episodes of delirium, seizures, or extreme agitation caused by high fever. It is most commonly used as a coating for emergency pills like An Gong Niu Huang Wan rather than as a standalone medicine.

Sadhana (Neutral / Balanced)

Dampness-draining herbs

Sheng Jiang Pi

Ardraka (Sheng Jiang) Pi is the outer peel of fresh ginger, used specifically to reduce water retention and swelling. Unlike the ginger flesh, which is warming, the peel is cool in nature and works by promoting urination and moving water that has accumulated under the skin. It is most commonly used for mild, early-stage puffiness and bloating, especially in the face and limbs.

Shita Virya (Cooling)

Substances for external application

Chan Su

Chan Su is the dried venom secreted by the parotid and skin glands of the Asiatic toad. It is a potent but toxic substance used in Ayurvedic & Chinese medicine to clear infections, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and revive consciousness. Because of its strong toxicity, it is almost always used in very small doses within prepared pill formulas such as Liu Shen Wan, and should never be taken without professional guidance.

Zheng Gu Zi Jin Dan

Bone-Setting Purple Gold Elixir

A classical orthopedic formula used to promote blood circulation, resolve bruising, and relieve pain after physical trauma such as falls, sprains, or fractures. It combines herbs that move stagnant Blood and Prana/Energy (Qi) with others that protect the Spleen (Agni/Saman) and Stomach from the harsh effects of the blood-moving ingredients, making it suitable for the recovery phase after the initial swelling has subsided.

Powder (San)

Shi Hui San

Ten Partially-Charred Substances Powder

A classical emergency formula for stopping acute bleeding caused by excessive Heat in the Blood. It is used when someone experiences sudden, forceful bleeding from the upper body, such as vomiting blood, coughing up blood, or nosebleeds, with bright red blood.

Decoction (Tang)

Zhu Ye Liu Bang Tang

Lophatherum, Tamarisk, and Arctium Decoction

A classical formula used to help skin rashes (especially measles) emerge properly when they are stuck beneath the surface, while also clearing fever, soothing sore throat, and preventing the body from becoming dehydrated.
