What Ayurveda means

Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit and roughly means knowledge of life. This teaching has been handed down in India for thousands of years and goes far beyond herbs: it also covers diet, daily routine and personal care. At its centre are three basic principles, the doshas.

Vata
Linked in the teaching to the elements of air and space, it stands for movement.
Pitta
Linked in the teaching to the elements of fire and water, it stands for transformation.
Kapha
Linked in the teaching to the elements of earth and water, it stands for structure.

The best-known plants and formulas

The names may sound unfamiliar, but they usually refer to roots, fruits, leaves or resins. To help you find your way quickly, here are our six key terms.

Ashwagandha
The root of Withania somnifera, long used in India. We carry it from Kräuterhaus, also as KSM-66 Plus.
Triphala
Three fruits in one blend: amalaki, haritaki and bibhitaki. Available as organic powder or extract in capsules.
Brahmi (bacopa)
The herb Bacopa monnieri, named after the creator god Brahma. We carry it from anatis and Himalaya.
Guggul
The resin of the guggul shrub, also known as Indian myrrh. We offer it combined with Triphala or oyster mushroom.
Shilajit
A natural substance from Asian mountain regions, rich in fulvic and humic acid. We carry it from anatis and nutri+.
Tulsi
The holy basil of India, traditionally drunk there as a tea. We offer it as Tulsi tea from anatis.

Three myths we often hear

Myth 1
"Ayurveda only comes in capsules."
Fact: Tea, powders, spices and dental care are just as much a part of it. So you can start in an everyday way, for example with a Tulsi tea.
Myth 2
"The highest milligram figure is always best."
Fact: Powder and extract cannot be compared in this way. The stated content tells you more, for example 15 mg of withanolides in Ashwagandha or 20% bacosides in brahmi.
Myth 3
"Plant-based means the amount does not matter."
Fact: The recommended intake on the pack applies here too. For Kräuterhaus Ashwagandha KSM-66 Plus, a maximum period of 2 months is also specified.
