where to buy Ashvagandha, Jatamamsi, and Shankapushpi

[Guest guest]

Hi Anita,

 

Its always hard to know who exactly is where people are on the list

for some reason i had the impression you were in the US.

 

i think Dr. Bhate is probably a better source of knowledge for products in India

- as i live in Canada, i am more familiar with the marketplace here

 

Ashvagandha, Jatamamsi, and Shankapushpi are readily available in India

you should be able to find them at a local Ayurvedic shop

perhaps just try the Ashwagandha for now, 1 large tsp of the fresh powdered

dried root, mixed with 1 tsp ghee and 1/2 tsp of fresh honey, ingested and then

followed with some warm water

 

there are also several complex polyherbal remedies that contain Ashvagandha, and

your local vaidya will be able to help you find an appropriate one

 

Reishi mushroom may be harder to find in India, but is easily obtained at almost

any quality health food store in NA, alternately, here is a place you can order:

on this same site you can find a product called Nervaherb, which can be taken

concurrently with the Reishi

insomnia can be either pitta or vata. your variant appears more to be vata, but

we cannot discount pitta and liver function either - FWIW
