FAQ on Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic Medicine is also called Ayurveda. It is a system of medicine that originated in India several thousand years ago. The term Ayurveda combines two Sanskrit words: ayur, which means life, and veda, which means science or knowledge. Ayurveda means "the science of life."

What products does India Herbs offer?

India Herbs offers herbal supplements and holistic products for General Health, Men's Health, Women's Health, Well-Being, and Animal Health. A categorized listing is available on our online catalog.

Are your supplements safe?

Our rigorous Research and Development process is designed to produce supplements that are both effective and safe. Our herbal supplements are comprised of non-prescription formulas which do not have side-effects.

To ensure product safety, the botanicals used in our supplements must be deemed safe for consumption by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in BOTH the United States and India. In addition, we only use herbal extracts from reputable suppliers - not raw herbs. Besides offering greater potency of active constituents, the processes used to produce extracts remove impurities found in raw plants. The quality of all extracts supplied to India Herbs is certified by SGS - the world's leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company.

Why does the FDA disclaimer appear on your websites and supplement labels?

Typically drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry are comprised of synthetic chemicals which can have severe side-effects. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires these drugs to undergo years of evaluation before approving them for sale.

Since herbal supplements are comprised of only naturally occurring botanicals, they are not required to undergo scrutiny by the FDA. They can be sold as long as they do not contain herbs considered harmful by the FDA. To ensure consumers can differentiate between pharmaceutical drugs and herbal supplements, the FDA requires that all Dietary Supplement Labels and Information Websites display the following statement:

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Why do you have a 130-Day 110% Money-Back Guarantee?

Ayurvedic Medicine relies on the power of naturally occurring botanicals to bring about positive changes in the body without causing harmful side effects. The effects you experience will be more gradual than those produced by Western Medicine. The benefits you gain will be longer lasting and will address the source of disharmony in your body - not just symptoms.

Our research indicates that while Ayurvedic Medicine does produce positive results in the short term, it typically takes about 4 months for most benefits to be realized.

To encourage you to try our supplements for at least that time period, we offer a 130-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you order at least 4 months supply of a product and try it for 120 days, you are eligible to a 110% refund if you are not satisfied for any reason. Empty boxes / bottles and unused product must be returned within 130 days from the date you initially received the product.

Where can I find out more about supplement ingredients?

Each of the product websites has an Ingredients page which presents detailed information on each herb used in the supplement. Our Herb Finder facility offers other comprehensive information on supplement ingredients in addition to hundreds of other botanicals with medicinal properties.

The latest authoritative research on botanicals is available on PubMed - a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Should I take the supplements with food and / or water?

We recommend taking supplements in the prescribed dosage with water after meals. This will ensure that active constituents are properly dissolved and carried into your blood stream with ample nutrients to help them to accomplish their healing purposes in an optimal manner.

What can I do to optimize the results?

You will realize full benefits when you do the following:

1) Eat balanced meals on a regular basis.
2) Exercise at least 30 minutes every day.
3) Get proper rest.
4) Strive to remain calm despite stressful situations.

As you take care of yourself, Ayurveda will work better towards reversing damage and bringing your body back into equilibrium. Please follow the dose guidance on the supplement label closely.
