How to Buy Ayurvedic Herbs

Ayurvedic is a 5,000 year old naturopath system from India. Practitioners believe imbalances are caused by poor internal organ function, rather than what westerners blame on poor muscle tone. Regular use of ayurvedic herbs containing ginger, black pepper, cumin, boswellin, tumeric, as well as other not so easily pronounced ingredients, combined with exercise and an ayurvedic diet is said to help bring proper internal function back to the body.
