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

Pittashamaka - Coolers & Heat Clearing (Dahashamaka)

Shatavari

Sanskrit: Śatāvarī

Rehmannia root (raw form) is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic & Chinese medicine for cooling the blood and nourishing the body's fluids. It is commonly used for conditions involving excessive internal heat, bleeding, dry mouth and throat, and low-grade fevers from fluid depletion. The raw form is distinctly cooling, unlike the processed form (Shu Shatavari (Di Huang)) which is warming and primarily used for blood nourishment.

Vatashamaka - Pain & Arthritis Relieving (Vedanasthapana)

Bai Hua She

Bái Huā Shé is a powerful animal-derived medicine made from the dried body of the sharp-nosed pit viper. It is prized for its ability to powerfully eliminate internal wind / Vata and open the body's channels and collaterals, making it a key remedy for stubborn joint pain, numbness, paralysis after stroke, and chronic skin conditions. Because it is toxic, it is always carefully processed and used under professional supervision.
