		<description><![CDATA[Boswellia serrata, a species found in India's states Rajastan and Madhya Pradesh, is known as salai guggulu. It is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat arthritis, promote circulation, and prevent the degeneration of cartilage in the joints. It is frequently combined with other herbs such as turmeric and ginger as a general anti inflammatory for muscles and joints.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vishnudass.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11128537&amp;post=91&amp;subd=vishnudass&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have often been asked how Shirodhara works. After giving hundreds of these treatments, I have come to the conclusion that its powerful effects have to do with how it almost effortlessly brings stability and one-pointedness to the mind. While the body is being cleansed of physical toxins, shirodhara works like a psychic enema to purge mental toxicity. Often after treatment you feel peaceful and calm for several days. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vishnudass.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11128537&amp;post=76&amp;subd=vishnudass&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
