Tonic Ayurveda Prescribes


There is a widespread thought that if you want to build muscles you need to take protein supplement. Very few know that we have so many tonics in ayurveda which strengthens not just your muscles but your bones and nerves, all at a time. Ayurveda says our body consists of 7 kinds of component. They are RAS,RAKT ,MAAMS,MED,ASTHI,MAZZA and SHUKRA.

Whatever food you eat, gets divided into two parts after digestion. First is SAAR, which means the extract  or the essence of the food which is absorbed by the body. Second is KITTA, which means anything other than SAAR or waste like sweat, urine, stool etc. When this SAAR is digested the first component forms is RAS.

RAS : It is responsible to nourish other 6 components of the body. It appears like water and responsible for menstrual period in ladies, controls the body hormones. It relates to KAFA. Further digestion of RAS forms RAKT.

RAKT : This is blood and responsible for increment and destruction of other components. It relates to PITTA. Further digestion of RAKT forms MAMSA.

MAMSA : This forms our muscles. Its 41% of the body’s weight. It gives strength and stability to the body. Further digestion of MAMSA forms MEDA.

MEDA : This is fat. It is responsible for lubrication of the brain and body which is very essential. Further digestion of MEDA forms ASTHI.

ASTHI :  This is bone and forms the structure of the body. Because of ASTHI ,our internal organs which are delicate ,get protection.

MAZZA : Then comes MAZZA which forms the internal space of the bones. It carries nervous system and gives strength to the bones . It also nourishes SHUKRA dhatu. It is related to your eyes and brain as well.

SHUKRA : Last thing in the list is SHUKRA. SHUKRA is your semen or sperm or your sexual hormone. It provides strength and energy to the body and endows you with good emotions like power, excitement, joy etc. It is responsible for reproduction.

Ayurveda do not focus on one component nourishment whereas entire body strength. All the 7 components mentioned above. Terms mentioned above like Vaata,Pitta and Kafa will be discussed in detail later. They actually are the pillars for ayurveda. You might have heard so many cases where  big muscle builders got bone problems which ruined their lives.

So the ayurvedic tonic one can take which nourishes all the 7 components of the body can be made with three simple ingredients in equal quantity. 1. Amla Powder 2. Giloy Powder 3. Gokhru
AMLA or Gooseberry is cold for the body and keeps away aging. GILOY is hot for your body and boosts immunity. GOKHRU is cold to the body and keep the urinary system related diseases at bay.
 Take a spoon full of it after breakfast and dinner and enjoy a life full of health,vitality and strength.
Keep in mind that the herbs which are said to be hot for the body in ayurveda, increases the blood circulation and might not wok good for the high BP patients but this tonic is balanced with two cold herbs as well.
