ITM's Herbs from India Brand Information

[for a detailed description of a sample formula please see: Karnim]

ITM supplies practitioners with an extensive line of high quality Ayurvedic formulations, including:

· 12 formulations in tablet form (500 mg tablets, 120 tablets per bottle)

· 4 herbal massage oils (in bottles of four fluid ounces each);

· 1 sinus oil (applied by massage over the sinus area and used as nasal drops, in bottles of one fluid ounce); and

· 1 herbal honey (the famous Chyawanprash, probably the most widely used traditional herb product in India, in bottles of 500 grams).

Because there is no independent licensing for Ayurvedic practice in the U.S., practitioners who prescribe these remedies are usually licensed as acupuncturists, naturopathic physicians, or medical doctors. In the absence of such specific licensing in Ayurveda, the formulas are designed for general use and are not necessarily restricted to prescription-only application.

Individuals with basic training in Ayurvedic medicine, whether licensed or unlicensed, may obtain these formulas. In order to have proper background information about the tableted formulas, their ingredients, and their use within the Ayurvedic system, the ITM book A Bag of Pearls (2002 edition) is essential (when obtaining this book, ask for supplemental information on the massage oils and herbal honey). Those who have no training in Ayurvedic medicine will not find this information sufficient for understanding and using the remedies, and should not obtain the tableted formulas without visiting a practitioner who will prescribe the appropriate remedies. The herbal honey and massage oils may be used by anyone; however, always see a health professional if you have any significant health problems to assure that you are not missing important diagnostic procedures and essential treatments.
