Reader Reviews
If you're looking for a textbook on ayurvedic herbs, here it is. I've been interested in ayurvedic herbs but did not find anything with scientific references. Anecdotal reports are not enough. A few examples: Did you know the ficus tree is considered holy and is used for medicine? Amla, which is a component of the formula "triphala" has been proven to dramatically lower cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and low density lipoproteins by 82%, 66% 77% and 90% respectively. REGRESSION OF AORTIC PLAQUES was observed. To put it plainly, when your arteries are clogged, this herb will help unclog them. I do a lot of research on heart disease had never heard of this. I know pseudoginseng, which is a Chinese herb, will do the same thing, but I did not know about Amla.
