Herbal
medicine has a deep and long history in ancient cultures
such as that of India and China. Ancient Indian herbal
products included Ayurvedic herbs as well as a variety
of herbal concoctions and brews which were introduced
into India from the Unani and Tibetan herbal medical traditions
and were used to treat many health conditions. Toady,
because of a surge in the demand for healthy, natural
herbal medication alternatives all over the world, there
are many herbal dealers India-based and from other countries
that can advise people on the use of herbal concoction
to treat medical conditions. One can also buy wholesale
herbs from various vendors all around the world and by
doing so can avail of the economics of bulk buying. However,
storage of such herbs then becomes important as certain
methods of storage like freeze-drying can minimize the
health benefits of such herbs.
Because of the global demand for natural herbal products
from India, there are many manufacturers who produce herbal
medicines and products in the country and these can be
sourced through word of mouth or through the World Wide
Web. Shahnaz Husain, the leading natural herbal cosmetic
and skin-treatments' brand has over two hundred franchise
stores across India and has great demand overseas as well.
The Shahnaz Husain product range includes Ayurvedic treatments
and herbal concoctions for skin, hair and body care and
the Shahnaz Husain spas which are located in major cities
across the world offer skin-care treatments rooted in
ancient herbal Indian medicine.
In India, Emami Ltd has made Ayurvedic skin-care products
available to the local Indian public for years but in
recent years, the company has also launched a series of
Ayurvedic products including massage oils for the hair
and body, memory boosters, toothpowders and pastes and
herbal medicines for colds and coughs. Another Indian
company that manufactures a wide variety of herbal blends
for skin and body care is the Balsara group which manufactures
Indian herbal products both locally as well as internationally.
The Balsara group's new-age herbal products include herbal
cosmetics, herbal toiletries and herbal medicines. Balsara
group of companies provide their product to many popular
National and International brands like The Body Shop,
Boots, Colgate Palmolive, The Unilever group, and Godrej
Soaps.
In addition to brands and manufacturers that make herbal
remedies available to the local Indian public, there are
also many Indian who are well-informed about the advantages
of Indian herbal medicine and do not think twice about
using ancient home-herbal-remedies in the treatment of
ailments. Herbs like aloe Vera, ginger, garlic, peppermint
and Echinacea are a few common herbs that are used in
herbal remedies. The extent of the effectiveness of Indian
herbal remedies is amply demonstrated in the widespread
demand for Indian herbal treatments for mild and serious
health conditions ranging from the common scaly-scalp
condition to more serious health conditions like blood
pressure and diabetes. The healing properties of aloe
Vera have gained wide recognition in the Western world
today, and the herb is popularly called the 'miracle herb'
in modern times.
