Ayurvedic Uses:
There are several
bitter tonics in ayurveda which help detoxification and help enhance the immune
system, and Neem is one of the best. Neem helps detoxify the liver and skin
and has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.
The experts at
Maharishi Ayurveda do not recommend the use of single herbs for self-care
due to several important reasons:
- Single herbs
often have unwanted effects over time, which can be canceled by herbs in
proper combination.
- Herbs in combination
are much more powerful.
- Good formulas
address all co-factors to a health goal for much greater effectiveness.
- Expert combinations
include herbs that increase assimilation and effective potency of the other
ingredients.
- Herbs have
different effects according to dose, and when mixed with other herbs.
