More Power to You

Restorative and power herbs can give your practice a much needed boost.

By James Bailey, L.Ac.

Remember: The need for stimulants is merely a sign your reserve of life energy (prana) is deficient. So if you need a pre-practice boost, try these herbs for a healthier alternative. You may be surprised at how much more powerful an elixir your practice becomes. And, as always, check with your physician before taking these or any other herbs.

James Bailey, L.Ac., M.P.H., practices Ayurveda, Oriental Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and vinyasa yoga in Santa Monica, California.

Very informative article. where can these supplements/herbs be found & how much to take?

Janis Wagner

Suppose you live on a "limited budget." What can one do to reap the "pure" health benefits? Especially when their life truly needs it & depends on the right "natural healing system?" I feel like one just waits to die. Can you advise/help me with this? I truly do believe Natural is the best way!

Thank-you for your attention on this concern,

---Janis SW Wagner
