General Health

Ayurveda is a holistic science of wellness based on creating harmony between two fundamental complementary forces, movement, observed in respiration, circulation, digestion, elimination and in the nervous system, and stability which provides the structure to support movement. Behind these two forces is the one energy which makes it all happen. Ayurveda works through keeping these forces in balance, which creates harmony with this natural rhythm found in all life. Harmony reflects itself in wellness just as all disease grows from an imbalance. The following products will help counter imbalances in your body caused by years of stressful living.

Fitness

Fitness is not about being thin, having a small waist, or having bulging muscles. It is a combination of qualities that enable us to be at our full potential in performing vigorous physical activities. Physical Fitness involves the performance of the heart, lungs, and the muscles of the body. Specifically, it takes into account our Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Flexibility. To some extent, Fitness also influences our mental and emotional development since what we do with our bodies also affects what we can do with our minds. The following products will improve your overall fitness.

Female Arousal

According to the American Medical Association, approximately 43 percent of U.S. women have experienced some form of sexual dysfunction at some time. Sexual arousal disorders involve problems with any of body's normal mechanisms of arousal, including the erection of nipples and vaginal lubrication. Many women choose hormone replacement therapy, also called HRT, or estrogen creams to address arousal and vaginal dryness issues. However, these medications can have serious side effects and health risks and may not be recommended for certain individuals. The following formulation contains Ayurvedic herbs known for addressing the underlying causes of arousal disorder in women.

Liver

Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It is also one of the most important. The liver has many jobs, including changing food into energy and cleaning alcohol and poisons from the blood. Your liver also makes bile, a yellowish-green liquid that helps with digestion. There are many kinds of liver diseases. Viruses cause some of them, like hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Others can be the result of drugs, poisons or drinking too much alcohol. If the liver forms scar tissue because of an illness, it's called cirrhosis. Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, can be one sign of liver disease.Ayurveda considers liver the master organ of the body. If healthy, 90 per cent of problems can be solved. The following products will detoxify and rejuvenate your liver to ensure it's optimal performance.

Longevity

Longevity addresses how to prevent, slow, or reverse the effects of aging and help people live longer, healthier, happier lives. Vridhopacharana is the branch of Ayurveda which deals with Anti-Aging treatments. Ayurveda classifies the human body into seven constituents, or Sapthadhathus: Rasa (related to lymph), Raktha (blood), Mamsa (flesh), Medas (fat), Asthi (bone), Majja (marrow), and Sukla (sperm, or fertility). These seven constituents (dhathus) get weakened due to our body’s prolonged structural changes, as we age. The following products can be used to care for and revitalize these dhathus.

Male Sexuality

Vajikarana is the branch of Ayurveda which deals with various diseases like infertility and conditions relating to weak shukra dhatu or the vital reproductive fluids of the body. Vajikarana prescribes the therapeutic use of various aphrodisiacs and tonic preparations for enhancing the vigor and reproductive capabilities of men. These medicines also strengthen other body tissues (dhatus) like muscles, fats, bones, and blood. The Vajikarana drugs are expected to provide offspring who are healthy and strong, both physically and mentally. The following products use traditional Vajikarana herbs and yoga to strengthen your virility and improve your sexual experience.

Kidney

Your kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The waste and extra water become urine, which flows to your bladder through tubes called ureters. Your bladder stores urine until you go to the bathroom. The actual filtering occurs in tiny units inside your kidneys called nephrons. Every kidney has about a million nephrons. In the nephron, a glomerulus—which is a tiny blood vessel, or capillary—intertwines with a tiny urine-collecting tube called a tubule. A complicated chemical exchange takes place, as waste materials and water leave your blood and enter your urinary system. Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons, causing them to lose their filtering capacity. Damage to the nephrons may happen quickly, often as the result of injury or poisoning. But most kidney diseases destroy the nephrons slowly and silently. Only after years or even decades will the damage become apparent. Most kidney diseases attack both kidneys simultaneously. The two most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. The following products will improve your kidney health and support their function long-term.

Muscle Growth

Sherpa Strength nourishes and stimulates the musculoskeletal and respiratory system to relieve the effects of muscle protein catabolism (breakdown). It promotes muscle protein synthesis, by activating Glutamine, a key link in muscle metabolism. Glutamine is the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell and a key factor in muscle growth. Sherpa Strength controls the "skeletal muscle / whole body glutamine gradient" which is critical in maintaining and building muscle tissue. The higher the glutamine levels, the slimmer the chance you have of falling into catabolism. Sherpa Strength's herbal extracts also regulate anabolic growth hormone which controls the metabolic processes (including protein synthesis) in almost all tissues throughout your lifespan. The active ingredients in Sherpa Strength help increase levels of nitric oxide, a key molecule that is produced naturally by the body. Nitric oxide causes vasodilation which increases blood flow and oxygen transport, delivers nutrients to skeletal muscle, and reduces blood pressure. By increasing blood circulation, your body's natural thermal energy is generated, promoting contractions of the motor neurons, stimulating liver function, enhancing the production of collagen in connective tissue, thereby enhancing the release of metabolic energy to "warm the body" and create a vital energy epicenter in the body to support intense physical activity. By keeping a consistent level of circulating energy, you are able to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the anabolic activity of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention, and increase lean tissue protein.

Nail Care

Radiancio nourishes and stimulates your muscle and connective tissues, and endocrinal and nervous systems to keep your body fully functional against the damaging effects of bacterial and environmental toxins, and free radical damage. Radiancio inhibits the breakdown of elastin (flexible connective fiber that helps hold tissues in place). This prevents the sagging of skin caused by aging and free-radical damage. Radiancio improves the texture and quality of your hair, nails, and skin by enhancing the production of collagen (protein fiber that is the main support of केयर skin, tendon, bone, cartilage, and connective tissue) and keratin (the primary fibrous component of skin, hair, and nails). It enhances and progressively reactivates your hair, nail, and skin’s natural production of lipids and nourishing water content. This relieves the tight and uncomfortable sensation of dryness. The key antioxidant derivatives of Radiancio help boost your hair, nail, and skin's natural radiance by reducing discoloration and pigmentation so that they appear clean, healthy, and refreshed. Radiancio reduces the production of sebum to prevent thick and healthy hair from becoming weak and dying. Radiancio is the perfect herbal supplement to revitalize your appearance by exerting a complete and natural beautifying process while supporting your body's cellular systems.
