A sweet tasting, affectionate reproductive tonic and cooling demulcent. Tridoshic herb that reduces blood fats & sugar while constricting vessels.

How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Vidari is a tridoshic herb that moisturizes Vata, cools Pitta, and lightens Kapha. It's demulcent sweetness nurtures those who feel frail, including seniors and anyone with a Vata constitution. Vidari promotes healthy aging. It is also a muscle tonic.

However, Vidari reduces cholesterol, blood lipids, and blood sugar qualities that are desirable for Kapha diabetics. Although it has been used anecdotally for weight gain, recent research suggests it prevents obesity and can actually reduce weight.

Vidari's expectorant action works by constricting airways. Glycosides constrict bronchial tubes which encourages coughing. It is also vasoconstricting, which may be due in part to the oxytocic effect of Vidari.

A Tribal Herb

Vidari's oxytocic effect can actually making you more affectionate to those you love, but hostile towards those outside your inner circle. As an aphrodisiac, Vidari increases fertility, building semen in men and supporting healthy menstruation in women. Its oxytocic properties also promotes healthy lactation in women (galactagogue).

INCREASES
Guna Help

Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick. Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

TASTES
Taste Help

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS
Dosha Help

The Three Doshas / Body Types

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
