Sida Cordifolia: From Ayurveda to Shamanic Rituals - A Complete Guide - LEGBA
Sida Cordifolia, or Bala in Ayurveda, is a multifaceted plant that plays a crucial role both in Ayurvedic medicinal practices and in shamanic rituals. Native to the tropical regions of India, it is renowned for its energizing and invigorating properties, often used to strengthen the immune system, improve vitality and support stress management.
In Ayurveda, Sida Cordifolia is considered one of the "Rasayanas" or rejuvenating tonics, aimed at promoting longevity and general well-being. Its roots, rich in alkaloids such as vasicinone, vasicin and vasicinol, are particularly appreciated for their effects on respiratory health and their ability to harmonize the doshas (the body's vital forces).
In shamanic traditions, Sida Cordifolia is often used in healing ceremonies for its protective and purifying energy. Shamans use it in rituals aimed at balancing vital energy, cleansing the aura and strengthening the connection with the spiritual world.
