HERBAL MEDICINE IS ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT OF THE HEALING ARTS. NATURAL HEALING IS ALL ABOUT PREVENTION.
AT BIJA WE ARE APPLYING THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF MEDICINAL HERBS USED IN AYURVEDA AND TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND COMBINE THEM WITH THE POWER OF ADAPTOGENS AND SUPERFOODS.
AYURVEDIC MEDICINE IS A SYSTEM OF HEALING THAT ORIGINATED IN ANCIENT INDIA MORE THAN 6000 YEARS AGO. IT IS OFTEN CALLED “THE MOTHER OF HEALING”. IN SANSKRIT, "AYUR" MEANS LIFE OR LONGEVITY AND "VEDA" MEANS KNOWLEDGE OR SCIENCE, SO AYURVEDA HAS BEEN DEFINED AS THE “SCIENCE OF LIFE” OR “KNOWLEDGE OF LONGEVITY”. IT IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT HEALTH AND WELLNESS DEPEND ON A DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. AYURVEDA IS THE ULTIMATE SELF-CARE SYSTEM AND ITS CONCEPTS ABOUT HEALTH AND DISEASE PROMOTE THE USE OF HERBAL COMPOUNDS, SPECIAL DIETS, AND OTHER UNIQUE HEALTH PRACTICES SUCH AS CERTAIN BREATHING TECHNIQUES, YOGA AND MEDITATION.
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) IS AN ANCIENT FORM OF HEALTHCARE THAT DATES BACK OVER 2500 YEARS AND INCLUDES NATURAL TREATMENTS SUCH AS ACUPUNCTURE, HERBAL REMEDIES, DIETARY ADVICE, STRESS AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, EXERCISE - INCLUDING TAI CHI AND QI GONG - AND TREATMENTS SUCH AS CUPPING AND MOXIBUSTION. TCM ALONG WITH AYURVEDA ARE TWO OF THE OLDEST AND MOST RENOWNED FORMS OF ANCIENT MEDICINE IN THE WORLD. TCM PRACTITIONERS LOOK TO TREAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF DISEASE AND TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH HELPING PEOPLE EXPERIENCE COMPLETE HEALING WITHOUT THE USE OF CONVENTIONAL DRUGS.
ADAPTOGENS ARE REMARKABLE NATURAL SUBSTANCES CONSIDERED TO INCREASE THE BODY’S ABILITY TO RESIST THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF STRESS. THEY HELP TO INCREASE STAMINA, STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND AND RECOVER FROM PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS. ADAPTOGENS HAVE A NORMALIZING EFFECT ON THE BODY, HELPING TO RESTORE NORMAL PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY CHRONIC STRESS. THEY ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF ADRENAL FATIGUE.
SUPERFOODS HAVE AN UNUSUALLY HIGH CONTENT OF ANTIOXIDANTS, VITAMINS, MINERALS, FIBER, OR OTHER NUTRIENTS AND THEREFORE ARE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL FOR YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. SUPERFOODS INCREASE ENERGY AND VITALITY, REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR AND BLOOD PRESSURE AND MAY HELP TO PREVENT OR FIGHT CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES.
