Bala (Sida cordifolia)
Literally meaning youth in Sanskrit, this herb is priceless for its multi various applications.A powerful cell nourishing and cell re-generating herb, Bala is used to maintain youth and vitality.
Indian scientists in 1930 reported the presence of a symptomatic alkaloid in this bala rootwhose pharmacological action closely resembled that of ephedrine and they thought that the alkaloid was undoubtedly ephedrine.
Later work has shown that the alkaloid had showed all the chemical and physical characteristics of ephedrine. This explains the widespread use of this herb in Ayurveda as a cardiac stimulant. Both the bark and the seeds are considered to be very aphrodisiac.
The weight loss of bala is not like ephedra, where your 'heat goes up' because it stimulates your brain to increase meetabolic rates - but by altering how your body uses - glucose. Bala helps increase tolerance to pain.* Literally meaning "strength," it is a rejuvenative and aphrodisiac that strengthens all tissues and is especially useful for the heart, lungs and nervous system.*
