In this lesson you will learn how to use herbs to
treat specific conditions. If you or someone you know has one of the conditions mentioned
here, you have a range of suggestions about how to treat it. You are encouraged
to choose your herb according to the Ayurvedic constitution of the individual
you are treating.
Some herbs increase Vata, Pitta or Kapha.
You want to use herbs which will balance, or decrease those effects. For example,
if you are treating someone with a Vata constitution for constipation, you would recommend
Licorice fern root, Aloes or Psyllium, but not Cascara sagrada since that
herb increases Vata. Click here
for two excellent references for working with
herbs within the Ayurvedic framework.
