AYURVEDIC HERBAL POWDER
Bala Powder
Bala Powder, the classical Ayurvedic root Sida cordifolia (Bala), prepared in the traditional way.
Bala Powder is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder of the single herb Sida cordifolia, prepared by Art of Vedas. This page sets out what it is, the classical tradition it belongs to, its ingredient, and the heavy-metal and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Bala Powder is
Bala Powder is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder made from the root of a single herb, Sida cordifolia (Bala). It is prepared by Art of Vedas from whole roots milled to a fine powder, made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, with its ingredient reviewed against EU law.
It is entirely plant-based, so it is vegan. It is a raw material used as advised by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.
Bala in classical Ayurveda
Bala (Sida cordifolia) is a well-known single herb of the classical Ayurvedic literature.
Art of Vedas presents its preparation within that classical frame, describing the tradition rather than any outcome, with an ingredient reviewed against EU law, and tests it with every batch.
Quality and testing
Tested with every batch
Every production batch is tested before it is released: heavy metals by a laboratory method called ICP-MS, and microbiological safety. The results below are representative; every batch is retested before release.
Heavy metals
Five heavy metals were tested by ICP-MS, each within recognised safety limits for herbal products.
| Metal | Result | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | Within the permitted limit | Recognised safety limit |
| Cadmium (Cd) | Within the permitted limit | Recognised safety limit |
| Mercury (Hg) | Within the permitted limit | Recognised safety limit |
| Arsenic (As) | Within the permitted limit | Recognised safety limit |
| Nickel (Ni) | Within the permitted limit | Recognised safety limit |
ICP-MS is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (a laboratory test for metals in parts per million).
Microbiological safety
Microbiological safety is tested with every batch. Overall counts stay within recognised limits, and the specified organisms were each absent.
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Aerobic Microbial Count | Within the limit |
| Total Yeast and Mould Count | Within the limit |
| Escherichia coli (E. coli) | Absent (not found) |
| Salmonella | Absent (not found) |
| Staphylococcus aureus | Absent (not found) |
Every batch is tested for microbiological safety before release.
