Himalaya

A herbal range in two distinct halves: Ayurvedic supplements in tablet, caplet and capsule form, and a sizeable personal care selection of toothpastes, soaps, creams and gels.

The first thing to check on any Himalaya product is whether it is taken or applied, because the two sit side by side in the range — Liv.52 and the botanical caplets are swallowed, while the Rumalaya gel, moisturisers, soaps and dental creams are for external use only. The supplement side is built on named botanicals such as ashwagandha, bacopa and boswellia, and the amount and any standardisation are on the pack. Prices across the range are low, so it is an inexpensive way to try a botanical format. Related products sit in joint & mobility and mushrooms & adaptogens.
