To distinguish them from one another, they have been assigned numbers. MAK-4 contains raw sugar, ghee (clarified butter, a staple in many Ayurvedic remedies), Indian gallnut, Indian gooseberry, Indian pennywort, honey, nut\u00adgrass, white sandalwood, butterfly pea, shoeflower, aloewood, licorice, cardamom, cinnamon, cyperus, and turmeric. MAK-5 is made from black musale, heart-leaved moonseed, butterfly pea, licorice, elephant creeper, Indian wild pepper, and three herbs with no English common names (Gymnema aurentiacum, Sphaerantus indicus, and Yanda spatulatum).<\/p>\n<p>MAK-4 and MAK-5 have undergone laboratory testing at the hands of several scientists. These researchers have uncovered evidence that both MAK formulas may provide a number of health benefits. Studies have shown that these formulas-taken separately or together-may help relieve angina, allergies, and the side effects of chemotherapy. And animal studies suggest that MAK-4 might help shrink breast tumors. The MAK formulas have also helped some people improve their eyesight.<\/p>\n<p>As scientists uncover more information about the therapeutic properties of MAK-4 and MAK-5, both formulas may become more widely available. For now, though, they must be obtained from an Ayurvedic practitioner.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beyond dietary changes, Ayurveda embraces an array of alternative therapies: exercise, especially yoga; stress-management techniques, including meditation and massage; and herbal medicine.
