Ayurvedic Herbs and Medicine
Ayurvedic medicine originated in the Indian sub continent thousands of years ago. The first documented texts of Ayurveda are approximately 2,000 years old with evidence of a substantial oral tradition, which preceded the written texts.
Ayurvedic Medicine continues to be the main system of health care in India along with modern Western Medicine. Variations of the Ayurvedic tradition are also practiced in Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Tibet.
In Ayurvedic Medicine, there are numerous herbs which have been used historically for treating a large variety of ailments. There is not such a sharp distinction between food and medicine in Ayurveda and many herbs are taken daily as part of your meals.
Many of the more common Ayurvedic Herbs have received increased popularity here in the West as their successful use for centuries in Asia has given way to scientific testing proving their healing potential for people world wide.
Crimson Sage Nursery is offering a variety of Ayurvedic Medicinal Herb Plants this season. Some are truly tropical and require greenhouse conditions while others can handle a slight freeze. As demand for these herbs increases, they are being over harvested in their native habitats on the Indian subcontinent and the quality of the herbs harvested fresh from your own garden will far surpass something imported from across the globe.
