Ayurveda, India’s traditional system of healing, uses more than 5,000 herbs. Some of these are especially versatile and well-matched for resolving common problems we encounter today, and have become popular remedies and preventive supplements for a variety of conditions.
“Ayurveda is about balance,” says Virender Sodhi, ND, founder of the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Medical Clinic in Bellevue, Wash. “Balance in sleep, balance in food, balance in exercise, activity, sexual activity, all those things, and when you have created a balance, everything functions properly in the body.”

After a year of taking arjuna plus a combination of curcumin and CoQ10, she underwent a CAT scan that found her arteries were clear.
