I think we could benefit from allowing the herbs to be separate from the practice of Ayurveda.  I mean, they use ginger.  I don't think drinking a cup of ginger tea or having an organic whole grain muffin with ginger in it is going to throw off anyone's Christianity.  So let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.  These herbs can be used medicinally like any other herb.  Just don't get caught up in the philosophical stuff.  I too was saved out of the new age, but I'm not going to stop taking Chinese herbs or East Indian herbs when they can benefit my body.  However, do try to choose organic herbs whenever possible, as many of the herbs from these countries are heavily processed with chemicals these days when they are not certified organic.


Having said that, if you believe the Lord is guiding you to stay away from these herbs, than by all means do so.  He doesn't always do things the same with everyone.
