A business which is run on the basis of strong values, rich knowledge, committed to quality, respects our Mother nature and thereby has customer loyalty as a blessing, it indeed feels great that the rich knowledge is passed through generations which are now being experienced by generations of families in Hubli and around.

“HEBSUR ANGADI”, this is the name used by generations together in Hubli and it is still used by people till date when they have to visit “HEBSUR HERBALS” for all their herbal needs. As a kid, I remember tagging along with my great grandmother, grandmother, aunts and parents to visit their main shop which was situated in the Market area. Now here I am, a loyal customer of Hebsur Herbals visiting their supermarket styled Herbal store and making online purchases too.

My parents always narrate stories from their childhood when herbal products were the only choice for them for personal care and they only trusted Hebsur Herbals. Those were the days when people had best hair and best skin, courtesy their choice of herbs, their lifestyle and the environment they lived in. Then came the era of usage of chemicals in our personal care range, there was a change in lifestyle, change in environment which shook our system basically and now we are back to square one looking for a healthy lifestyle amongst the chaos. Between all the shift that we saw in the years, there are many people and generations who are still stuck to their roots and have been using Hebsur Herbals products all these years in one form or the other.

One important thing about Hebsur Herbals is that they have changed with the changing generations and times to suit their needs but have still remained close to their roots and quality. Their product is described in detail, packaging is great which is needed so that herbs don’t lose their aroma and an important part of their products is that they always provide value for our money. This is the time when all are needs are being met online and Hebsur Herbals has been able meet that need too after giving its customers the supermarket feel too, to choose their products easily. They have also spread their wings to other cities.

By personal experience, one thing in which Hebsur Herbals has been an absolute blessing is in terms of the availability of herbs and products made easily available for postpartum care and newborn care too. We have been buying postpartum care related herbs and related products from Hebsur Herbals since generations. I was very sure that I will choose the traditional postpartum care rituals and I am glad I did. My family had to just visit the store and tell them their needs and we had all the necessities ready without much running about to do. Postpartum is a delicate period for the mother, it is a time to recover from the birth related changes that happen to a mother, at this time purity and hygiene is absolutely necessary in the products we use and there has been no compromise from this trusted brand since generations. They have herbal powders for external use, internal use, oils for the mother and baby, they also have products from other brands to choose from.

They have a range of hair oils and hair care products. Hebsur Herbals have come up with their own brand of herbal hair care products too. I have personally used their products and felt the difference. For natural hair dye, they have the best henna too which is chemical free and not harsh on our hair unlike other henna products available.

There is a sudden demand for products which already existed, like essential oils, herbal teas, seeds etc. which are being met by Hebsur Herbals. We can safely rely on them for our prescribed Ayurvedic medicines. They also have consultation option in case we need any help. The employees are very well trained and are very courteous and helpful. They provide details of any product we choose.

Hebsur Herbals is one such treasure where the respective herbal needs of everyone can be met right from an infant to people in their old age, meeting the needs of all generations in the present and past too.

Other Teas are derived only from a particular plant. Herbal tea is a simple caffeine free alternative to our other beverages. Herbal teas keep us hydrated when compared to other teas.

Adopt Traditional Ways To Keep Your Hair Healthy And Strong

We often hear people say, “looks like today is a bad hair day”, hair care using the right oil and shampoo can make all days, “Good hair days”. Hair care was very simple and natural in the past. With changes in lifestyle of people and hair care services, various hair care products came into the market which made it more challenging for the sellers and buyers as well. We should understand while the actual hair appears outside of our body on our scalp, the living parts of the hair are beneath the skin. We need products that work from within. Oiling our hair helps in regulating the health of our hair. Washing our hair removes excess sweat and oil, dirt from the hair. A balanced diet and hydration is equally important to maintain healthy hair. Using natural ingredients in our hair care routine and avoiding chemicals in the best choice we can make.

HAIR OIL

Oiling of hair which is typically done before shampooing and if done on regular basis works like magic on our scalp and hair and provides much needed moisture and nourishment. We can read about usage of hair oil in the history too, like the Egyptians used castor oil and almond oil since Egypt has hot and dry weather. We can note that the necessity of the kind of hair oil changed as per the region. In India, base oils made using mustard, sesame, castor, coconut have always been used which were infused with herbs and other plant extracts depending on the condition of the hair. Amla was added to treat hair loss and Bringaraj for stress relief. Usage of any hair oil is incomplete without a good massage in typical desi or Indian style which we proudly call as Champi. New haircare products entered the market which tried to depict that the product has benefits that a hair oil can provide, we started favouring hair serums, hair masks and so on which cannot provide the benefits of a natural hair oil. Even if we use the new age hair care products, we should continue using natural and herbal hair oils. One thing is for sure that artificial hair oil products have a temporary effect on our hair and is mostly external whereas a natural and herbal hair oil can reach the root of the hair and provide long lasting effects. Traditional and natural herbal hair oils are definitely making a comeback.

CHAMPU to SHAMPOO

A perfect massage to cleanse the body and hair was known as Champu in India since many years. The colonial traders used to indulge in their daily bath with a Champu. When they returned to Europe, they introduced their hair treatment inspired from Champu and called it as Shampoo. A variety of herbs and their extracts have been used to cleanse the hair since ancient times, shikakai is one amongst them which is popular till date. Shampoo came into existence in other parts of the world and more changes were made with time and natural shampoo became detergent based, sulphate based, parabens based, perfumed based and synthetic based too. Shampoo then contained chemicals only and the natural ingredients slowly went missing.

Make a choice: HERBAL or CHEMICAL based?

When we decide to use a new hair product, we often wonder if the hair product, may be an oil or shampoo will damage our hair with the chemicals in it. The ingredients in a chemical based shampoo might be good for a short term, but is of serious concern when used on long term basis. Chemical based shampoos provide short term solutions. Chemical based shampoos affect the natural quality of our hair.

Herbal products might work slowly on the hair but it natural extracts and herbs are better absorbed by the hair. Since the herbal hair products are derived from nature, for example virgin coconut oil, they are eco-friendly post usage too. Herbal shampoos do not produce much lather and we tend to believe that more the foam, better the shampoo, the foam is due to sulphates which generally dries the hair and washes off the natural oils and moisture of the hair.

To know the effects of herbal products, we should detox our hair from chemical based hair oils and shampoos and try herbal products manufactured by trusted brands, suitable for our hair for long term usage, this will provide results and rejuvenate our hair and make them stronger and healthier.

Learn How Herbal Products Can Keep Your Facial Skin Healthy And Glowing

Our skin is the largest organ of the body, which differs from person to person and differs depending on the part of the body it covers too. Most of us treat our facial skin and our body skin as the same and hence use the same products on our body and face. Majority of us use the same soap on our body and face. We should first understand that our body skin and facial skin are different in many ways, hence it has to be taken care differently.

The body skin is thicker than our facial skin and is drier too. The facial skin being thinner, wrinkles faster than our body skin. Our face needs special care in comparison to our body because it is very sensitive and delicate especially around the eyes, nose and mouth. The face tends to produce more oil than our body hence it is prone to blemishes, acne, pigmentation and so on. Since the face often comes in contact with our hair, dandruff from hair also affects the facial skin The face is more exposed to external factors like the UV rays, pollution, dust etc.

Since our face requires gentle care, it is essential to use the right skincare products. We cannot use our body lotion on our face right?. Soap and facewash will help in cleaning our face but there is a difference! Soap has high ph levels and is hence more harsh, whereas a face wash is gentle on our skin. Facial skin is again of different types: oily, dry and sensitive. This distinction holds true in terms of Ayurveda too. We should first understand our skin type and then choose the right facewash and face cream and most importantly be consistent in using the right facewash and cream for better results. Hebsur herbals has a range of facewash to choose from, all of which are made using the best available natural properties.

A good skin care routine involves cleansing, toning and moisturising our facial skin every day. Since our face is delicate and sensitive, we have been using natural herbs and other natural ingredients since generations for healthy skin, natural products like Multani Mitthi, ubtan, haldi, besan etc are used till date, much before the cosmetic products came into picture. We can now find these natural ingredients in our facial products too. A healthy diet, exercise regime, staying hydrated, following a good skincare routine and opting for herbal skin care and facial care products in the form of facewash and cream contributes towards a healthy skin in future too. Herbal products especially related to face and skin are chemical free and organic too and has the goodness of nature. It is the key to healthy and glowing skin.

How Herbal Way Of Life Can Make You Young And Healthy!

A healthy lifestyle not only changes our body, it changes our mind, our attitude and our mood.

It improves the quality of our life. Everyone wants to live a healthy lifestyle these days, we tend to concentrate on only one part of the lifestyle. We miss on the major part of living a healthy lifestyle, which is by being consistent in the choices we make. We shift from one product to other, one diet to other and expect immediate results. Some believe lifestyle is all about investing in expensive products. To understand a healthy lifestyle better, we should know about all the factors that contribute towards a healthy lifestyle. Beginning from what goes into our body which is our food, our exercise regime, how we manage our stress levels, what we apply to our skin, what surrounds us, our sleep patterns, our thoughts and so on.

The use of herbal products in our lifestyle helps in absorbing the goodness of nature. India as a country has a rich history of Ayurveda, use of herbs and herbal products. This is well known in history of our civilisation too, in our mythologies, in the culture and tradition we follow too. We all know about Sanjeevani, the magical herb which has been mentioned in Ramayana. When we watch these mythologies today, we can also observe that herbs were used to treat all diseases and wounds. We have been listening to stories from our grandmothers on usage of herbs from their gardens as home remedies. Their lifestyle had herbal products by default. Then came a stage of invention when many products came into the market which were man-made, people opted for these as the effects were immediate, they were being advertised everywhere to attract people, people experienced the side effects only later and the actual effects did not last for long. Since herbal products are made from what nature provides us, it has a prolonged effect on our lifestyle and are safe. Turmeric is a classic example of being a popular natural product used in our food and in herbal products too. Who knew our simple Turmeric or Haldi would be famous worldwide in the form of ‘Turmeric Latte'! We find increasing demand for herbal products in this generation too. At the same time it is important to buy herbal products from registered sellers only. In the pandemic situation we have been facing, immunity has become an important topic of discussion ever than before and many herbs and herbal products have come into picture which help us in building a good immune system. Who knew about Moringa before? It is so popular today, but our ancestors always used it.

Stress is another major issue seen in this generation and it is not limited only to the working population, all generations face some form of stress and it is not surprising that kids undergo stress too. Stress has negative effective on our lifestyle, some herbs and herbal products are helpful in stress management, offcourse it is not herbs alone that will help us in dealing with stress, when use of herbs is combined with other factors, it helps us in building a healthy lifestyle, we can see new natural herbal teas that have come into picture which help us in managing stress and have a calming effect, all of which are derived from natural herbs.

Herbal products are suitable for all ages, from an infant to an elderly. There are herbs which are useful for different stages of our lives. For example, for a baby there are many artificial products available and herbal range as well, for the delicate life that is come to this world, we would choose herbal and natural products any day. There are herbs which help a new mother in post partum recovery and heal her body from within. Herbal products help us meet our needs to take care of our health, nutrition and skin. Herbal products include essential raw herbs, medicines, natural oils, organic food products, natural spices and dry fruits too, all of which help us in building a healthy lifestyle for a better tomorrow.

A change in lifestyle begins with a vision and a single step as mentioned by Jeff Calloway. Opting for a lifestyle which has nature’s goodness in it, which is by choosing to use herbal products in our everyday lives is indeed that step we should all be taking with a vision to lead a healthy and happy life.

Find Out How Sabja Seeds Can Save You From The Summer Heat

In this ever-changing and rapidly evolving world, everybody tends to change their lifestyle accordingly. Not just living beings but also nature gets affected. Living beings face the brunt when nature amplifies the weather by extreme climate changes. So during summer, when the scorching sun heats the environment and the body, all you would want is to cool down your body temperature and stay healthy, hale, and hearty.

Ayurveda, the ancient science of natural health and also of producing Herbal products is revered and followed widely across India. A balanced life holds the key to maintain a disease-free and healthy life. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. We have to make our health and immunity tougher to face the harsh weather outside by cooling down – mentally, emotionally, and physically. A balanced daily routine like what and when we eat, when we exercise, leads to a relaxed mind, which in turn results in a relaxed body.

Ayurveda offers a wide variety of Herbal products to keep the body cool and calm. These cooling agents help in fighting off the common summer discomforts and common ailments like constipation and digestive issues. These natural cooling agents are blessed with bundles of medicinal qualities. These Herbal products not only cool down the body heat but also heal stomach ailments, headaches, and heat disorders.

Pitta

There are 3 doshas according to Ayurveda which govern the body, and they are Vata (Wind), Pitta (bile), and Kapha (Phlegm). During summer Pitta is the most affected.

Uncontrolled Sweating
Extreme heat generation in the body
Swelling of the Joints
Nausea, Diarrhea or Constipation
