93% of Ayurveda’s Wild Medicinal Plants Threatened With Extinction
As Ayurveda gains more followers and demand for Ayurvedic medicines continues to grow exponentially, along comes the threat of extinction.
The Economic Times reports that the Botanical Survey of India has done an assessment of the state of the nation’s wild medicinal plants used in Ayurvedic medicine. As you can tell by the headline, the prognosis for those species which are harvested from the wild–about 95% of herbs used are not cultivated–is decidedly not good.
The original study highlights five critically endangered species:
* Ulteria salicfolia, extracts from the rhizome of which can protect against ulcers
* Hydnocarpus pentandra, or the Jangli Almond, whose seed oil is used to treat ailments diverse as leprosy, arthritis, and diabetes
* Gymnocladus assamicus, a tree found in northeast India
* Begonia tessaricarpa, known as Rebe, which was thought to be extinct for 115 years before being rediscovered, and is used to treat stomach aches and dehydration
* Agapetes smithiana

Ayurveda- Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is also called as Blemishes, freckles and dark spots. It mainly occurs due to uneven accumulation of melanin pigments in the epidermis area of the skin. Exposure to sunlight with high ultraviolet rays, chronic burns or inflammation and aging factors are reasons for increased hyperpigmentation as well. This can be very much controlled by Ayurveda.
However, proper diagnosis of hyperpigmentation is very important before the treatment. Lack of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, good protien and hormonal balance is required for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. So starting from liver treatment, blood purification to skin cleansing treatment, all are to be done step by step. Depending on the age of the patients and causes, Ayurveda takes complete care of Hyperpigmentation. Having medicinal herbs such as Lotus seeds and petals, Arjuna, Red Sandalwood, Turmeric, Saffron and grass juice in the oral and local applications in the appropriate formulas and combinations, we get effective results.
Moreover, complete Pancha Karma treatment helps in hyperpigmentation within less than 7 days under indoor therapies. A rejuvenating and refreshing experience with a glowing skin is a dream for everyone. Why not? Please feel free to email us for more information at doctor@ayurvedagroup.com or call us at 1.407.965.5473.

73% of Canadians use Alternative Medicine
In countries with universal health care, alternative medicine has greater challenges in getting acceptability. So when a news post in The Vancouver Sun mentioned that 73% of Canadians in their lifetime use alternative medicine, it didn’t miss our attention.
Ayurveda Group firmly believes that the compound challenges of ageing populations and ever increasing costs of health care will need a multi pronged solution. This solution amongst other things will need to have -
- Prevention as a key component
- A partial (if not complete) back to nature, away from chemicals solution
- Recognition of Ayurveda’s successes in preventing ill health and treating diseases
As President Obama grapples with the out-of-control health care challenges of America, recognition and acceptance of “alternative” medicine is something that has been largely missing from all debates.
The word alternative clearly suggests that when the current solution is not working, it is imperative that the alternate path be explored.
