Ayurveda is a means of promoting well-being, with a focus on integrating mind, body, and spirit. The term Ayurveda originates from India and is derived from the Sanskrit words for “life” (ayur) and “science” (veda). The result is a holistic practice that dates back well over 3,000 years and is still going strong today. That being said, there has never been a better time to experience many of the herbs and ingredients featured in this ancient system.
In this section of Zamnesia's Healthshop, you can choose from a full range of products used in the Ayurvedic tradition, such as Ginkgo biloba, ashwagandha, and Mucuna pruriens.

Well, allow us to give you a tour of all things Ayurvedic so you can make an informed decision when making your next purchase!
There are many potential effects to exploit when it comes to Ayurvedic products, with each product primed to perform in a different way. From herbs and extracts to beans and beyond, there's plenty to choose from. There are even capsules and powders that can be conveniently taken when it suits you best.
Some of the possible benefits include enhancing vitality, boosting mood, helping with weight management and metabolism, and improving digestion, as well as a whole host of other potential effects. Of course, everyone is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to Ayurvedic products—but there's bound to be one that suits your preferences and wellness goals!
So, where do you start when it comes to discovering an Ayurveda product that will perform the way you want it to? Well, essentially, the practice of Ayurveda is divided into three categories, known as “doshas”. Each dosha is said to reflect a person's physical, emotional, and behavioural characteristics. So read on to find out which dosha you are, and which product suits you best.
Typically appealing to creative, slim, and energetic types, the vata is thought to be the dosha of movement, and is a combination of Ether and Air. Because of this active lifestyle, many who identify with the vata dosha may find themselves low on energy and even facing digestive issues. With that in mind, one product that's primed for vatas is ashwagandha. This herb, also known as winter cherry, showcases plenty of rejuvenating potential, and may work as an aid to well-being. Zamnesia stocks our very own ashwagandha capsules, giving you an effortless way to achieve a wellness boost when you need it most.
Said to be associated with fiery and tenacious personalities, pitta describes more muscularly built people that are highly motivated and born leaders. Derived from the elements of Fire and Water, it's said that people who identify with the pitta dosha require soothing and calming. A product primed for this is Ginkgo biloba. This tree’s ancestors have been on Earth for well over 170 million years. Also known as the maidenhair tree, it's the extracts from the leaves that can offer soothing and relaxing sensations, amongst other well-being benefits.
Derived from the Earth and Water elements, kapha is more for those that think before they act, and are caring. People that identify with the kapha dosha are typically larger in build and want to focus on promoting a healthier lifestyle. Turmeric is known as the main Ayurvedic product for the kapha dosha. Able to provide a bevy of possible benefits, this spice is rich in antioxidants and can potentially aid weight loss too.
As mentioned, there's no universal approach to Ayurvedic products. However, many users claim to experience enhancements in well-being when taking them. But be sure to keep your expectations realistic, and form a baseline of how you feel before and after taking any supplements, noting any differences in your well-being along the way.
Absolutely! Each Ayurvedic supplement contains natural ingredients as well as recommended daily dosage instructions. However, that's not to say that there aren't some potential side effects involved. While these are seldom, they can occur, usually if the dose taken is too high. Some users may experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea in some cases. Should you have any questions or concerns, be sure to consult with a medical professional before taking any Ayurvedic products.
Got an idea of which dosha you are? Does the thought of potentially improved well-being strike a chord with you? Maybe it's time to open yourself up to the effects of Ayurveda. We've name-dropped just a few of the products available from the Zamnesia Healthshop. So if we've piqued your interest, get your pick of some of the finest Ayurvedic products around today.
