Ayurveda
: Early evidence suggests that a traditional Ayurvedic formula containing extracts of four Indian herbs, Ashvatha, Kapikachu, Dhanvayasa, and Bhuriphali (the GS-02 formulation), may have benefits similar to conventional antidepressant medication. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.Ayurvedic herbs should be used cautiously because they are potent and some constituents can be potentially toxic if taken in large amounts or for a long time. Some herbs imported from India have been reported to contain high levels of toxic metals. Ayurvedic herbs can interact with other herbs, foods and drugs. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before taking. Use guggul cautiously with peptic ulcer disease. Avoid sour food, alcohol, and heavy exercise when taking guggul. Mahayograj guggul should not be taken for long periods of time. Pippali (Piper longum) should be taken with milk and should be avoided with asthma. Read more
