Ashwagandha Extract, 2 oz.

Ashwagandha holds a premier place in the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia. It is both a rasayana herb, meaning one that aids the quality of life and longevity, as well as an adaptogen, an herb that improves our ability to cope with stress. This herb has a multitude of uses but to understand how research of prized Indian herbs is conducted, it is useful to consider how well an herb protects the patient from damaging changes when exposed to chemical, metallic, or radioactive hazards and how successfully the herb protects against free radicals. Ashwagandha is very high on the list of such valuable herbs, but it is most often used to improve male potency and endurance.

Bael Fruit Extract, 2 oz.

Aegle marmelos is known by many names: bael, bilva, Bengal quince, stone apple because of its rind which is woody and hard. The fruit takes almost a year to ripen and can range in size from about two inches to even a bit larger than a grapefruit. It is native to India but can be found in most of Asia. In the Rig Veda, the tree is said to be the home of Lakshimi. The tree itself is regarded as a goddess and is thus sacred to many Hindus, especially those worshipping Lord Shiva who is believed to live under the tree.

The tree has some unique properties and is said to be a climate purifier because it transforms chemical toxins and airborne gases into harmless substances.

Bael fruit is eaten fresh or dried and then rehydrated to make various exotic and refreshing beverages, jams, sweets, and sharbat-type ices. Perhaps, the best known recipe for bael fruit is bel murrabba, a sort of marmelade. Though rich in vitamins and minerals, the fruit should not be consumed in excess but rather as an occasional treat. Nearly all parts of the trees are also used medicinally and have benefits for the pancreas, digestion and elimination, and respiration.

Bael fruit is also a component of the famous dashmool recipe which has equal parts of ten different herbs. It is especially good for detoxifying the lower intestine.
