What are Ayurvedic Herbs?

Ron Fields Nutrition Ltd was established over 40 years ago, with the aim of optimising animal health and wellbeing using the practices of Ayurveda and Indian herbs.

 

Ayurveda is an ancient system evolved in India over 5000 years ago. Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge. Ayurveda is all about preventing poor health and encouraging the maintenance of good health. This is achieved by balancing lifestyle, emotion and diet together with the use of Indian herbs.

 

Balancing these factors varies for each individual. Balance can be affected by internal and external influences. For example changes in emotion due to stress, incorrect or poor diets, lack of food choices, seasons, weather, physical injury, training and exercise and relationships with others. Balance is the natural order and promotes good health, imbalance is not the natural order and promotes poor health.

 

Energy is required for cell function, movement and metabolism within the body. Within Ayurveda are three types of energy; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each is related to different

aspects of cell biology. 

 

Vata is the energy of cell movement

 

Pitta is the energy of cell metabolism

 

Kapha the energy of cell structure.

 

Changes between these energies or the presence of toxins can cause an imbalance.

We are open and transparent about which herbs are included in our products, which are listed on our website and we encourage you to read further about individual ingredients. 

 

All our products can be safely combined with each other, thereby addressing the balance between the different energies within Ayurveda.

When using a Ron Fields Nutrition Ltd product we would also encourage you to look carefully at all aspects of the lifestyle of your animal. Try to identify anything which isn’t working for your horse e.g. management, diet, stresses and try to change them, whilst using the products. By doing this, you will ensure that your care for your animals will align with the Ayurvedic principals our company and products adhere to.
