Occasionally it is impossible to feature the Leaping Bunny logo on a product label due to space restriction. However, all Avalon Organics® products are cruelty-free and fall under the Leaping Bunny Program. 

The Leaping Bunny logo is an internationally recognized symbol for cruelty-free cosmetics, personal care and household products. In 1996, eight national animal protection groups banded together to form The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). This organization created and administers the Leaping Bunny Program, a cruelty-free standard for companies producing cosmetic, personal care and household products. The Leaping Bunny Program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories or suppliers.

The Avalon Organics® brand does not test products or ingredients on animals, plus our ingredient suppliers meet the same criteria of no new animal testing. The Leaping Bunny logo found on Avalon Organics® labels is an outward symbol of this commitment.

Yes, all Avalon Organics® products are made without GMO ingredients.

The NSF/ANSI 305 Standard is the American National Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients.

Mushroom coffee tends to have lower acidity compared to traditional coffee. This can benefit individuals with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux, as it may cause less irritation and discomfort.

Our patented post-roasting process for adding mushrooms shows that the acidity is as low as pH 6,5 (compared to normal coffee with pH 3-5).

Just prepare your Rå Hygge coffee just like you would prepare any regular coffee, depending on the type of brew you have. Our selection includes whole beans or filter ground for plunger jug ​​or pour-over. Lion's Mane and Reishi are lighter roasts; some prefer a slightly higher dosage for a more pungent taste.

It all depends on your personal coffee preference, so we strongly recommend experimenting until you find a flavor that fits your tastebuds.

My machine recommends against flavored coffee due to deposits in the grinder and brew unit. Would this be considered that?

Answer: Depending on the quality of the grinder, there may be differences in how sensitive the machinery is to any alterations to the whole bean. We have a coating on the whole beans, so if yours is not a "Peugeot" type of grinding (mechanical), it might react to it. In this case, go for a pre-ground Rå Hygge blend.

If you want an espresso ground, we recommend getting the beans fine ground at your coffee store.

Conscious Hygge, Health, and Happiness are summarized vision of healthy eating and drinking. Rå Hygge tasty organic low-acid coffee with functional mushroom extracts is a unique creation, which helps you say goodbye to the jitters usually associated with caffeine. Instead, you can enjoy a balanced boost with sustained energy.

Rå Hygge have created a method in their roastery for coffee blends with less acidity so that even those sensitive to caffeine could enjoy the hygge of coffee as whole beans or filter coffee.

Yes. Organic India tests each batch of herbs by a third-party certified lab for contaminants such as fungus, mold, yeast, bacteria, pesticides, and heavy metals. They test against standards issued by American Herbal Products Association. Additionally, they ensure Botanical Ingredient Identity Testing of their whole herbs.

Organic India is passionate about raising the standards within the organic industry by example, and is among the few herbal companies in India to receive ISO 9001-2008 and Kosher Certifications. Organic Certifications are available from Control Union and Aditi as per USDA, EU and NPOP Organic Standards. Organic India products are verified non-GMO by The Non-GMO Project.

Organic India is a whole herb company, and they use the unaltered and natural whole roots and herbs that they grow. Because of this, the amount of constituents is not measured or printed, such as withanolides, in Organic India herbs because that can vary among different harvests.

While it is unlikely that there would be any safety issue, Organic India do not recommend using its products past the expiration date on the packaging, as the effectiveness of herbs can no longer be guaranteed.

Organic India does not utilize plastic of any kind in our tea bags. Tea bags are made from organic manila hemp (also known as abaca) and the string is made from unbleached cotton fiber. Organic India chose this style because most stringless bags on the market employ filter paper that is coated with a polyamide plastic. This type of plastic coating melts under high temperatures, and as a result, some amount of plastic is leached into the tea as it brews.

The tea bag paper is made of unbleached, organic manila hemp (also known as abaca). The string is made from unbleached cotton fiber. This style was chosen because the stringless tea bags that are currently on the market employ filter paper that is coated with a polyamide plastic.

All Organic India herbs, after being organically grown, are air-dried either in the sun or shade according to each herb’s requirements. Organic India processes all herbs in certified organic facilities; Organic India grinds its herbs into a 30 mesh particle size to maintain each herb’s botanical integrity, and employs a dry steam sterilization technology to ensure its stringent product safety specifications. Each batch of herbs is then tested to make sure that it is in compliance with AHPA safety standards and regulations for contaminants such as fungus, mold, yeast, bacteria, pesticides, and heavy metals. Organic India does not add any fillers, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives to products.

Although Organic India is a whole herb company and keeps herbs as close to their natural forms as possible, our herbs are heated above the threshold to be considered raw during the sterilization process. We use a chemical-free, sterilization process to clean our herbs and rid them of harmful pathogens. The heat treatment is kept at a minimum to maintain the herbs’ essential nutrients and enzymes.

The following formulations contain caffeine:

• Tulsi Breakfast – 25 mg/tea bag
• Tulsi Green – 12 mg/tea bag
• Tulsi Masala Chai – 12 mg/tea bag

Whole herbs, as opposed to tinctures and extracts, provide the fullest spectrum of each plant’s unique phytochemical signature. We believe whole herbs and whole herbs enhanced with an herbal extract more effective than extracts alone. It is believed that the various constituents and parts of the plant work synergistically.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, functional foods are foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition.

Dosage varies by product. Please check the bottle/website for suggested dosages. Organic India does not provide individual diagnosis or dosages. To find an Ayurvedic practitioner, please visit: NAMA – National Ayurvedic Medical Association.

Pullulan is a natural biopolymer obtained from the mushroom species A. pullulans. Pullulan is created by extracting water from the mushroom that is grown organically on a tapioca starch substrate. Organic India’s pullulan is vegan, free of major allergens (soy, wheat, corn, dairy, and nuts), non-gmo, and certified USDA organic. Pullulan creates an oxygen barrier to ensure the shelf life of Organic India supplements. Pullulan capsules also protect encapsulated herbs from oxidation.

We recommend working with a practitioner before electing to increase dosages. Suggested dosages are meant to optimally support the average person. ORGANIC INDIA recommends working with a health professional or Ayurvedic practitioner to determine individualized dosages and to create a health plan that is suited to individual needs.

There aren’t equivalent doses between Tulsi tea and Tulsi capsules. Tulsi tea is an infusion — hot water allows for fast delivery to the bloodstream, while Tulsi capsules are processed by the digestive system until the phytochemical compounds are absorbed. We suggest Tulsi tea for quick absorption, and Tulsi capsules for those who don’t enjoy tea or who prefer the convenience of capsules.

Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs: They help balance, restore and protect the body from physical, environmental, and psychological stress. An adaptogen doesn’t have a specific action; they are multidirectional herbs that supports stress responses to normalize physiological functions, leading to stress resilience.

Originating in India, the 5,000 year-old Ayurvedic medical system is one of the world’s oldest health modalities. “Ayurveda” comes from two Sanskrit words — “ayuh” meaning “life” and “veda” meaning “science” or “wisdom.” Ayurveda is the sister science to Yoga and is based upon the same ancient Vedic texts. The system teaches us to live in balance with nature by following natural rhythms.

According to Dr Pedersen, there are no harmful effects on the gut microbiota. Colloidal silver only destroys pathogens with a primitive cell structure, thereby maintaining the sensitive balance of the intestinal flora by preserving the good bacteria. 

The only recurring side effect is argyria: argyria is characterised by a grey/blue colouration of the skin caused by very large doses of silver. 

No cases of argyria have been documented following the ingestion of commercially manufactured colloidal silver. The rare reported cases of argyria occurred following the domestic production of silver salts, which were then consumed in very high doses.

Since 1 January 2010, colloidal silver is no longer considered a dietary supplement by the European Union. In France, all manufacturers of colloidal silver have registered it as a cosmetic product, which implies that it can only be used externally. After all, who would drink a cosmetic product?

In many other countries, such as Switzerland, it is considered a dietary supplement, so it can be ingested.

There is a page with more information on this topic. 

Contrary to what you may have read, colloidal silver is not banned: it is sold as a cosmetic product by the manufacturers, which implies that ingestion is not permitted. Ingestion is prohibited throughout the EU following its status change in 2010.

To our knowledge, there are no interactions with colloidal silver.

On the contrary, beneficial effects have been observed when conventional antibiotics are taken in combination with silver, as demonstrated by a study published in 2013.

We recommend storing it in a dark place at room temperature: a medicine box is perfect. For the gel, remember to replace the transparent cap to avoid oxidation.

In countries where colloidal silver is considered a dietary supplement, take 10 ml per day internally or spray externally 3 times per day. There is a full page on this subject here. 

The antiseptic action of colloidal silver can be explained in at least 3 ways. All three explanations are tied to its ability to inactivate microbial DNA and proteins, without damaging the tissue: 

1. Disruption of the outer membrane proteins of pathogenic organisms
2. Inactivation of bacterial enzymes
3. Inhibition of bacterial reproduction by way of their DNA 

Humans have enjoyed the beneficial properties of silver for thousands of years. Today, it is used to fight infectious diseases (bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites) and to strengthen the immune system.

Colloidal silver is an aqueous solution made up of purified water and silver.

Conductivity meters (TDS meters) are designed to measure the conductivity of the water, and they are therefore calibrated with a saline solution. However, silver has an electric potential two times lower than salt: to obtain an approximate estimate of the concentration of the silver solution, you must multiply the result provided by your TDS by two. 2 x 20 = 40 PPM. Furthermore, testers that measure up to 999 PPM have a margin of error of 2%, or 20 PPM. These devices are therefore somewhat unreliable. 

For qualitative results, you need to use a spectrophotometer instead of a basic meter for measuring dissolved solids, which was never intended to measure colloidal silver. 

You can find all of the analyses proving the concentration of KATHAROS 40 PPM solution here.

There is no need for dilution; you can use your solution as it is. KATHAROS product, although more concentrated, still contains an extremely small quantity of silver.

KATHAROS product has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 6 months: once the bottle has been opened, you have 6 months to use it. This recommendation is based on tests carried out by independent laboratories before the product was placed on the market. However, after internal tests that have been made, it is indicated that is completely effective after 6 months.

As long as the bottle has not been opened, it can be stored indefinitely. 

KATHAROS solution is stored in glass bottles to avoid any risk of dispersion. Furthermore, the glass bottles are amber-coloured to protect the product from UV rays and guarantee its purity.

KATHAROS solution is completely transparent, which reflects its quality. The smaller the particles, the more transparent and effective the solution. The colour of the gel can vary due to oxidation: the colour does not affect its effectiveness.

KATHAROS only uses purified water and silver in the production of their liquids. For the gel, a natural preservative and gelling agent is added.

Thanks to its production method, KATHAROS solution is made up of minute particles measuring 150 picometres (less than a nanometre), thereby guaranteeing a high level of effectiveness.

After reviewing the scientific literature, it was found that many researchers concluded that: the more concentrated the solution, the more effective it is. Based on this observation, KATHAROS worked for more than a year to produce the most concentrated colloidal silver solution possible via electrolysis: their tests, allowed them to consistently achieve a concentration of 40 PPM.

The claim that solutions over 10, 15 or 20 PPM are less effective has been flying around for a while. There is no scientific data to back up this theory.
More information can be found here.

KATHAROS manufactures its solution in France at the following address:

The plastic supplement bottles, lids, seals, labels, glass bottles and product boxes are all recyclable. Also, all the plastic bottles are stamped with a PET plastic number for recycling.

None of Maharishi's products are tested on animals and they are cruelty-free.

Yes, the products are tested for pesticides, heavy metals and microbiological contamination. There are only used ingredients and herbal products that meet our rigorous standards for safety. The traditional methods of Ayurveda are followed while employing the highest standards of quality control. To ensure purity, Maharishi AyurVeda products are tested before, during and after manufacture and then tested again by an accredited independent analytical laboratory (that meets ISO 17025 standards), prior to distribution. MA/Veda herbs are tested once at our manufacturing facility. These tests include examination for:

• Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury)
• Residual pesticides (at the start of the manufacturing process)
• Microbiological contamination (including E. coli, coliforms, staph and salmonella)

Maharishi's products far exceed the testing guidance of the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) and specifications of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The FDA requires to list the maximum number of tablets in the Serving Size area of the Supplement Facts box if a range is given for "Suggested Use." For example, if Organic Ashwagandha recommends “1-2 tablets twice daily, with water after meals” then we list “Serving Size 2 tablets” in order to have compliance with these regulations. However, we recommend that you follow the Suggested Use directions to determine the quantity that works best for you.

Per vaidyas (Ayurvedic experts), Maharishi's products don’t have any side effects or contraindications, but if there’s a concern or you have a known medical condition, always consult with your health professional before taking one of the products.

Maharishi's bottles are partially filled with cotton, as is the industry standard, to protect the tablets against breakage during shipment. There are also various tablet sizes and unit sizes, some formulas containing 60 tablets and others up to 120 tablets. In an effort for the product to be efficient and consistent, it is used the same bottle and label size for the various products.

Maharishi's plastic bottles are PET 1, which is a recyclable BPA-free plastic. Maharishi is committed to continuing to switch to eco-friendly packaging options as much as possible.

Ayurvedic experts (vaidyas) generally feel that such classical rasayanas as Organic Ashwagandha are safe in these circumstances, and there is a long history of use. All Maharishi's products are made from whole plant parts, not synthetic concentrates, and as such do not have known side effects. But, modern standards must be adhered. Unless you have consulted with your physician first, and they recommend it, we do not recommend taking these or any herbal product while pregnant or lactating.

None of Maharishi products contain genetically modified organisms (GMO's), and they are careful to source from vendors who can assure us that their ingredients are non-GMO. Look for the "Non-GMO" seal on all of the supplement, tea, and food packaging. Also, organic products are always non-GMO. As part of the USDA organic guidelines, a product must not contain any GMO inputs/ingredients in order to carry the USDA organic seal.

Licorice is a traditional herbal remedy with a lot of benefits in ayurveda. It has a rasayana (health-promoting) effect on the mind and body, and is also balancing to Vata and Pitta. It supports healthy immunity, is good for the eyes and complexion, nourishes the tissues, soothes the digestive tract and promotes circulation.

In Maharishi's synergistic formulas, the licorice is processed and used in a particular way in combination with other herbs that counterbalance any negative effect licorice could cause in the physiology (or to blood pressure) if taken by itself. The licorice used in the products is not deglycerized.

However, if someone already has high blood pressure or is concerned about taking a product containing licorice, we recommend you monitor blood pressure when taking the product, and/or consult your health professional before using one of our licorice-containing products.

All of Maharishi products are vegetarian. There are some of the which are vegan as well.

Pearl, coral, conch and other shell ingredients are processed using traditional ayurvedic methods that incinerate the minerals, converting them to a fine powder. During the incineration process, the allergen properties, if previously present, are destroyed. The process involves many steps of purifying the original materials. Because of the processing, a customer who is allergic to shellfish shouldn’t have any issue using one of the products containing shell ingredients. But it is always best to be cautious and alert to any symptoms when first trying the product. To date there is no negative feedback.

Calcium its sourced from areas that are not known to be polluted, and test the quality of calcium for heavy metals and pollutants before use. Once harvested, the pure inner layer of calcium is used and the upper layer of calcium is removed, which has come into contact with the environment. This process has to be done by hand, but ensures that the calcium used is of the highest quality. It is then purified according to the ayurvedic texts.

No, animals are not harmed while harversting Maharishi’s shell ingredients. It's part of the cycle of nature. Once the animal has vacated its shell, then the shell, pearl or pearl oyster are collected for use in the products. No killing is involved.

None of Maharishi’s products contain soy, and the manufacturing facility doesn’t process any products containing soy.

Yes, all Maharishi AyurVeda supplement products are gluten-free and made in a gluten-free production facility. Therefore, none of the products come into contact with any gluten-containing ingredients.

Maharishi products are most effective when used prior to their best before date. According to vaidyas (Ayurvedic experts), products can be used up to a year past their best before date, but they may not be as effective as fresh product.

The tablets can be cut in half using a pill cutter. Alternatively, tablets can be ground into powder and mixed with raw unheated honey, applesauce or maple syrup.

You can facilitate the balancing process by also adjusting your diet and routine. Maharishi AyurVeda herbal formulations provide a very powerful way to address imbalances and restore balance and well-being for a long, healthy life. By taking the right amount at the right time, and by adjusting your diet, you can greatly enhance their benefits.

Since you use your body's systems and organs every day, they need constant support until the imbalance is addressed. Add supplements into your daily routine, and if you tend to forget to take them, devise ways to remind yourself. Create reminders in your cell phone or put post-it notes on your computer. Keep your supplements on your dining table instead of in the cupboard. Carry them with you in a tablet dispenser.

You can follow the instructions on the bottle. But there is some flexibility—if those times don’t work for you, then take them at your convenience. The main point is to take the herbal formulas regularly—for that is how the results come.

For herbal formulas that are designed for addressing a health issue before it manifests, it’s best to take them regularly for two to three months. For herbal formulas that are designed to restore balance it’s best to take them until the imbalance has been addressed. Once balance is restored, you can continue for at least two weeks longer to be sure the body has adjusted to the new state of balance. For detoxifying herbal formulas, it’s best to use them according to the guidelines given. For certain ongoing issues, it may be helpful to take the supplement on a regular basis to enjoy balance.

You shouldn't take more than two products that address the same, related issues without first consulting an ayurvedic expert. Maharishi AyurVeda formulas are designed to take care of several aspects of the same condition, so taking more will not necessarily increase their effectiveness. As far as dosage (i.e. the number of tablets to take at a time), you can follow the recommendations on the bottle. According to Maharishi AyurVeda, the dosage needed to correct an imbalance depends on the strength of the patient and the severity of the imbalance. This is best evaluated by an expert trained in Maharishi Ayurveda.

That depends on what you are taking. As a general rule, don't take more than four formulas at a time.

Focusing on one or two imbalances at a time is best. Start with those imbalances that are the most noticeable. Sometimes, you may find that in addressing those, some secondary imbalances get addressed as well.

Maharishi AyurVeda supplements contain high-quality herbs that are combined into potent formulas to address the underlying imbalance in the physiology, without causing side effects. Instead of just addressing the surface level, these formulations aim to enliven balance in the physiology and target the root cause of the issue.

Irish sea moss is low in calories and high in dietary fibre, which can help promote a feeling of fullness and potentially support healthy digestion. Additionally, its iodine content may play a role in supporting proper thyroid function, which can positively influence metabolism.

Korean red ginseng can help improve the physical strength and immunity of the patient after cancer treatment, but it is recommended to consult a doctor first before consuming it. Studies have shown that patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery for stomach and colon cancer experienced improved immunity after taking Korean red ginseng. A clinical study in colon cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy also showed a significant improvement in cancer-related fatigue after consuming Korean red ginseng .

Poor blood circulation is one of the common causes of cold hands and feet. For these cases, yes, Korean red ginseng helps blood circulation and can relieve hypersensitivity to cold in the hands and feet.

This depends on personal preferences. Although TCM practitioners often recommend taking tonics after menstruation has ended, some studies have suggested that consuming Korean red ginseng during menstruation may help reduce menstrual pain and maintain regular monthly cycles. A study in healthy young women suffering from menstrual pain showed that Korean red ginseng improved oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation) and dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain). Another study also showed that ginsenoside R2, one of the active ingredients in Korean red ginseng , suppresses uterine fibroids caused by estrogen/progesterone, suggesting that Korean red ginseng is also effective in relieving secondary dysmenorrhea (pain). caused by diseases such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids).
