Why and how do pine needles support a woman’s physiology? 

In general terms, Devadaru pacifies apana vata that governs the reproductive area), it also helps reduces inflammatory toxins by cooling off the pitta of the blood. Overall, it is a great plant for pacifying all vata subdoshas. 

On a more specific level:  First, it lubricates all the dry micro-circulatory channels due to its unctuousness and further opens and enlivens the channels with its warmth.  Usually, when we use unctuous herbs and foods, we risk clogging the ‘srotamasi,’ or physical channels.  But pine needles, due to their laghu or light quality can enter into any micro-channel and support the flow of hormones in the channel so that they reach and interact with the organs and organ systems.  

Lubricating and enlivening the physical channels is no small point, especially as a woman ages. Due to advancing age, or other factors, the micro-circulatory channels transporting the hormones can become dry, stiff, and narrow. In particular, during the vata time of life, starting the 3rd quarter around age 65 and above, a vata aggravating diet, or vata aggravating routine with poor sleep will do the trick. Great exposure to EMF devices that carry electro-magnetic fields also promotes such imbalancing.  In these situations, even though a woman’s body may still be producing all the essential hormones, the poor flow and delivery of the hormones will be similar to her body not producing any hormones at all, and result in early aging symptoms. 

Pine needles are slightly bitter in taste.  Bitter tasting things are made primarily of akash or the space element according to Ayurveda. This is said to help open and detoxify overall circulatory channels.  

Pine needles are also known to be ushna or warm, so we know they give deep thermogenic enlivening activity to the channels.  

Last but not least the vipak or post-digestive effect is pungent. This helps burn the micro-molecules of ama that otherwise clog the micro circulatory channels. 

So you see this is how Devadaru helps a woman’s physiology: it cleans and clears the paths of the micro and macro channels to better deliver the hormones. When my Devadaru Herbal Memory Nectar is taken along with the SVA Femi Ojas, or Shakti for Her drops, it aids in their delivery faster and more efficiently and results are more visible more quickly. In this capacity, Devadaru is a fantastic yogavahi for all these nectar drops as it enhances their delivery and action to further support a woman’s physiology.  

Who Should Use Devadaru Herbal Memory Nectar Drops? 

The Devadaru Herbal-Memory Nectar Drops may be used by women ages 15 and above. It can be used by those with normal hormonal levels looking to balance the flow  and delivery of hormones; it can also be used by post-menopausal women seeking to  but having some problems with hormonal delivery due to problems in the channels.  Devadaru HMN drops are especially useful for women with declining levels of hormones: peri and post-menopause.  Read more about SV Ayurveda formulas and home-remedies and protocols for hormonal balance on my blog here: Additional hormonal balance details for peri- and post-menopausal women  and 5 Key Factors and Practical Tips for Hormonal Balance in Women. If you already have a SVA hormonal protocol, you can just add Devadaru Nectar drops to it to further enhance its efficiency.
