• Analgesic, making it a great pain-re- liever • Cardioprotective, creating strong, healthy veins • Gastroprotective, strengthening and healing the gut-linin • Improves skin, with demonstrated wound-healing capabilities • Strengthens lungs by healing mucous membranes • Protects brain cells by strengthening cellular structure


And many other benefits have been


found. Amla fruit has even shown effi- cacy at treating and preventing cancer. With such an astonishing array of ben- efits, this Ayurvedic powerhouse de- serves a place in everyone’s health arse- nal!


Amrit Kalash The herbal formulation known as amrit kalash is considered the preemi- nent Ayurvedic rasayana. The Charaka Samhita (foundational Sanskrit text on Ayurveda) credits amrit kalash as having the ability to:


• Improve cognitive ability • Increase longevity • Impart radiance to the skin • Sharpen the senses and intellect


But we no longer need to rely on


ancestral wisdom passed down through millennia to affirm the healing potential of Ayurvedic medicine. There have been dozens of scientific studies on amrit kalash that have sought to validate claims made by Vaidyas as to the potency of this medicine. The International Maharishi


Ayurveda Foundation in the Netherlands, published a summary of scientific studies on amrit kalash, exploring its usefulness across the following areas of health:


• Cancer and chemotoxicity • Antioxidant • Cardiovascular • Diabetes • Immunity • Anti-aging • Neurophysiology and brain health


Some of the findings strongly sup- port the claims Ayurvedic doctors have made for centuries. A 2005 study on both young and old mice explored the poten-


tial of amrit kalash to enhance resistance to infections and disease, as well as enhance longevity. The results showed that amrit kalash altered the behaviors typical of aging cells. It even effectively slowed aging! It also improved overall immune system function and had an adaptogenic effect. These findings are supported by numerous, additional stud- ies on amrit kalash’s antioxidant proper- ties, which demonstrate its amazing potential to slow the effects of time.


Ashwagandha


Another herb that all Vaidyas have in their cabinet is ashwagandha. Consid- ered one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurveda, ashwagandha is also known as winter cherry and Indian ginseng. As one might expect from ginseng, ashwa- gandha is invigorating! An adaptogen, it helps the body bounce back from illness, and gives overall energy and immunity a powerful boost. It has a reputation for enhancing sexual vigor, as well as im- proving mood and our ability to focus and concentrate. This bushy plant known formally as


Withania somnifera, produces small, red berries, and is a member of the night- shade family. The name translates roughly to “the strength of ten horses,” and scientists have conducted studies to see if these claims held weight. One such study examined ashwagandha’s adapto- genic properties, and sought to validate any impact on immune system function. Mice were subjected to stress tests by being forced to swim for a period of several minutes. Researchers found that ashwagandha improved stamina, and fortified adrenal glands, typically ex- hausted by stress.


Other studies on ashwagandha show


a demonstrated effect on managing uter- ine fibroid tumors, improving memory, and being useful treatment for neurode- generative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Alzheimer's diseases. Ashwagandha has also been shown to possess “great potential” as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
