  Introduction- Herbal Powders
Ayurveda (meaning ‘Science of Life’ in English) is an ancient Indian
system of medicine that originated over 5000 years ago. The system
is based on a collection of treatises and involves practices that
concentrate on diet, herbal remedies and yogic breathing exercises,
in order to balance the bodily systems and humors. The
fundamental concept of Ayurveda is based on the fact that the
elemental systems in a body need to be balanced. When the
fundamental elemental substances are balanced, it leads to healthy
living. When they are unbalanced, there is illness and disease. A
key role in this holistic science and in achieving this balance is by
means of herbal powders.
Herbal powders are unique formulations and may be available as
single herbs in powdered form, or as a combination of herbal
powders. The efficacy of the formulation depends on the
combination of the powders and precision in the combination ratio
is crucial. There are different methods of ingesting the powders.
They may be swallowed directly in the recommended doses, mixed
with boiling water and drunk as a concoction or with tea or even
mixed with suitable ingredients like honey and swallowed in a small
pill form.

 Importance of Herbal Powders

Herbs in powder form are preferred generally because of the particle
size. Smaller the particle size greater is the absorption rate from GIT
and hence greater is the bio-availability. It is prescribed by the
physicians for treating conditions such as diabetes, indigestion,
constipation, cough and to increase the stamina and boost
immunity.
Amla, Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Reetha, Hibiscus, Maka (Bhringraj
powder), Shikakai powders help in conditioning the hair and
nourish the scalp to encourage new growth and also makes hair
shinier, softer and reduce the risks of premature greying. Gudmar

weight loss. Gudmar (Gymnema Sylvestris), Kalijira (Centratherum
anthelminticum), Jamun seed and Karela powders are used for
