Extract of Ashoka Chaal Powder 50 grams
Ashoka Chhal, or Ashoka bark, is derived from the bark of the Ashoka tree (Saraca asoca), which is native to the Indian subcontinent. In Ayurveda, Ashoka Chhal has been highly regarded for its medicinal properties and has been used for centuries to address various health issues, particularly those related to women's health. Here are some potential benefits associated with Ashoka Chhal:
-
Menstrual Health: Ashoka Chhal is traditionally used to support menstrual health and alleviate menstrual disorders. It is believed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), and manage excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). It is often recommended for women experiencing irregular periods or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
-
Uterine Health: Ashoka Chhal is known for its uterine tonic properties. It may help tone and strengthen the uterine muscles, which can be beneficial for women recovering from childbirth or those experiencing uterine weakness. It is also believed to support overall uterine health and function.
-
Fertility Support: In Ayurveda, Ashoka Chhal is sometimes used to promote fertility and reproductive health in women. It is thought to balance reproductive hormones and improve the chances of conception. However, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for this purpose.
-
Menopausal Support: Ashoka Chhal may help alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Its hormone-balancing properties are believed to support women during this transitional phase of life.
-
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Ashoka Chhal contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. It may help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
-
Antioxidant Support: Like many botanicals, Ashoka Chhal contains antioxidants that help neutralize harmful free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This antioxidative action contributes to overall health and well-being.
-
Digestive Health: Some traditional uses of Ashoka Chhal include promoting digestive health. It may help relieve gastrointestinal discomfort and support digestive function.
-
Wound Healing: In Ayurveda, Ashoka Chhal is also used externally for its wound-healing properties. It may be applied topically to promote the healing of cuts, wounds, and skin infections.
As with any herbal remedy, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using Ashoka Chhal, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any underlying health conditions. While it has a long history of traditional use, scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for various health benefits is limited, and individual responses may vary.
Product Description
Ashoka is a famous herb in Ayurveda for removing grief. However, it has some other remarkable properties for health. Because of its sheetala veerya (cooling potency) and sheeta guna (cooling physical quality), ashoka is excellent for removing excess heat (daha) from the body. In fact, this sheetala property helps to cool sadhaka pitta (the subdosha of pitta governing the heart) and thereby contributes in a physical way to ashoka's vibrational ability to remove grief.
Ashoka is also described in the Sanskrit text Bhavaprakash Nighantu as krimijit (bacteriostatic). While ashoka does not directly kill bacteria (it is not bactericidal), it does help to normalize the pH of the colon, and of the body in general, so that it becomes a bad environment for bad bacteria to grow. When the body is too acidic, pathogenic bacteria thrive, and our friendly bacteria and immune systems suffer. When it becomes more alkaline, bad bacteria don't do well, and our friendly bacteria and immune system do better.
It is the kashaya rasa (astringent taste) of ashoka that contributes to the alkalinity of the body and the colon. Astringent tastes in general create alkalinity in the body.
In addition, the tikta rasa (bitter taste) of ashoka stimulates liver function. When the liver is working better, there are fewer acidic toxins in the blood, giving the body a more normal pH. Also, when the liver is functioning better, there is less inflammation due to toxins floating around in the body. This relaxes the immune system so that it can focus better on killing pathogenic bacteria, instead of being involved with inflammation.
Finally, on a purely vibrational level, ashoka is very connected to the infinite field of consciousness, sometimes considered to be a field of light. Krimi (pathogenic bacteria), like many bugs, thrive in darkness. By bringing a vibrational field of light to the body, ashoka helps create an environment where bad bacteria do not like to live or multiply.
Learn six other prabhavas (special qualities) of this remarkable tree in Vaidya Mishra's 26 minute audio lecture: Ashoka - Learn About A Divine Herb For Removing Grief, available for instant download for $0.99. Vaidya goes into great detail here about the "grief removing" quality of ashoka. In this lecture, you will also learn other important names and physical properties of this famous Ayurvedic herb straight from the Sanskrit verses.
Notice that the krimijit (bacteriostatic) and dahajit (heat removing) properties of ashoka, described above, stem mainly from its physical properties: it is sheetala (cooling), tikta (bitter), and kashaya (astringent). To get the full effect of these properties of ashoka it is necessary to use the crude herb because physical properties reside in the physical herb.
Vaidya Mishra's alternative delivery systems such as his Ashoka Transdermal Cream and Ashoka Herbal Memory Nectar do not contain the physical herb, only its essence. This ashoka chaal (bark powder) delivers the physical qualities of the herb and is the ideal delivery system if you want to use ashoka to help reduce burning (daha) in the body, and improve the body's internal environment so that bad bacteria cannot thrive (krimijit).
