How to Deal With Grief and Loss

Grief is a common factor in most of our lives. When things don’t go according to our plans, when the ones we love reject us or leave us behind, when we fail in any way, the result can often be grief.

And that helpless, biting feeling of grieving can stay with us for years and years, gnawing away at our insides, causing a kind of dry rot that weakens everything we attempt to do.

Even just the faint remains of grief can keep our hearts slightly closed, and prevent us from living life more fully.

How to Deal with Grief and Loss

This article is not focused on the importance of friends, counselors, and spiritual practice, which are the most important things you can do for grief.

Our purpose here is simply to provide you with an extra tool for dealing with grief, from a purely physical point of view. There is a herb in the ancient medical science of Ayurveda called ashoka.

Ashoka is a tree that is famous for it’s spiritual quality in India, and it is the spiritual quality of this tree which gives it the property of removing grief. The name ashoka in Sanskrit literally means “no grief.”

In the epic story of the Ramayana, Sita, the wife of Ram, when she was captured by Ravana was placed in a garden of ashoka trees to help her with the overwhelming grief she felt in being separated from her husband.

The power of this tree to remove grief is very real. You can learn all about it from the ancient Sanskrit texts in a 26 minute audio lecture by Vaidya Mishra.

Take a few moments to educate yourself about this powerful Ayurvedic herb for the heart. Why not attack suffering from all sides, mental, emotional, spiritual and physical?

You can also enjoy our wildcrafted ashoka products that are produced without the use of chemical solvents or anything that detracts from the subtle potency of the plant.

If you click through to read the descriptions of each of these products you will learn about many benefits of ashoka for your health, besides its ability to remove grief.

Ashoka In Our Herbal Products

Ashoka is an ingredient in many of Vaidya Mishra’s herbal formulations.  Here is a list of the main ashoka products.

Ashoka Herbal Memory Nectar

  • Delivers the divine properties of this herb even if the liver or digestive system are toxic (the crude herb would be corrupted in the process).
  • Removes grief very quickly (doesn’t need to go through the digestive and metabolic systems which takes time).
  • Is suspended in the nectar of sweet squashes to protect the divine intelligence of ashoka.
  • Should be added to 1 to 2 liters of cool water and sipped throughout the day.
  • Avoids the grahi (absorbing) quality of ashoka, allowing it to be used safely for people with constipation.

Ashoka Herbalized Soap

  • Get transdermal absorption of ashoka while you bathe.

  • Beautiful, heart-lotus-opening aroma.
  • Start your day with extra herbal support to remove any traces of grief in your heart.

Ashoka Transdermal Cream

  • Deliver the ashoka prabhava (grief removing property) directly to the sattwa (light of the soul) transdermally.

  • Enjoy continuous absorption through the skin for several hours (such as when you sleep or meditate).

Ashoka Chaal (powder)

  • Very high quality, wildcrafted herbal supplement
  • Gives the physical properties of the herb, which are sometimes necessary.
