Mastik Shamana Transdermal Cream

Mastik Shamana Transdermal Cream is formulated to support mental calm, clarity, and balance in individuals experiencing stress, mental overactivity, or difficulty unwinding. In Ayurveda, constant movement of thought is often associated with disturbance of prana vata, the subdosha responsible for governing the mind, sensory processing, and the flow of attention.

In modern life, continual stimulation, irregular routines, and chronic stress can aggravate prana vata, leading to racing thoughts, restlessness, and difficulty settling into a relaxed state. When prana vata becomes unstable, the mind may lose its natural rhythm, making restorative rest and emotional balance harder to achieve.

This formulation is designed to promote shamana, a state of gentle pacification and balance, rather than suppression. Mastik Shamana Transdermal Cream supports the coordination between brain, nervous system, and subtle energy pathways, helping restore a sense of steadiness and ease. The goal is not sedation, but the reestablishment of orderly mental flow and grounded awareness.

By using a transdermal method of application, this cream delivers support without placing demand on digestion. This allows calming influences to be introduced gradually and consistently, making it suitable for regular use during periods of mental strain or emotional overload.

Within the SVAFF Ayurveda lineage, care for the mind is approached with the same precision as care for the body. Mastik Shamana Transdermal Cream reflects a methodical formulation process developed by Vaidya Mishra, intended to support long-term nervous system balance, mental resilience, and clarity through sustained, noninvasive delivery.

Mastik Shamana Transdermal Cream may be used as part of a broader approach to mental balance and nervous system support within the SVAFF Ayurveda system. It may be complemented by Mind at Ease Transdermal Cream for additional calming support, Brahmi Transdermal Cream when focused nourishment of mental clarity is desired, or Prana Balance Herbal Synergy Nectar for internal support of prana vata regulation. These formulations are often used together under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to support steady mental calm and resilience.

• |Nervous System Stability| (स्नायु – Snāyu): “स्नायवो देहस्य बन्धनम्।” (“The snayu bind and stabilize the body.”)
• |Clarity of Consciousness| (सत्त्व – Sattva): "शोधनं परं आरोग्याय" (“When sattva is clear, the mind becomes tranquil.”)

Transdermal Marma Absorption:
Transdermal absorption has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic practice for centuries and is now recognized in modern medicine. Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra advanced this tradition by creating the Transdermal Marma System, which utilizes targeted marma points to enhance absorption directly where it is needed, ensuring optimal delivery of therapeutic benefits.

• Efficient Delivery: Approximately 75% of what is applied to the skin is absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a direct gateway to your physiology.
• Gentle on Digestion: This method bypasses the digestive system—ideal for patients whose colon and liver are burdened by processed foods, chemicals, and toxins—ensuring that healing herbs are delivered efficiently without further taxing the system.
• Intelligent Formulation: Our transdermal cream is based on Shea Butter combined with various pure essential oils. While Shea Butter remains on the skin for a few minutes, it effectively supports the sustained release and absorption of active ingredients (take care to avoid staining clothing).

Key Ingredients:

• Jatamansi (जटामांसी – Jaṭāmāṃsī, Nardostachys jatamansi): Traditionally used to calm mental agitation and support steady, grounded awareness by pacifying excess prana vata.
• Vacha (वचा – Vacā, Acorus calamus): Valued for supporting clarity of perception and coordination between the mind and nervous system.
• Brahmi (ब्राह्मी – Brāhmī, Bacopa monnieri): Known in Ayurveda for nourishing mental function, supporting focus, and promoting calm alertness.

Directions for General Use:
Take a small amount from the container and apply the cream along the entire spine using gentle downward strokes, swiping seven times. For stress or anxiousness, the cream may also be applied to the pulse points on both wrists. This cream can be applied morning and evening, or as directed by your Ayurvedic health practitioner. To promote steady absorption, leave the cream on the skin for at least half an hour or continuously for a prolonged effect, and rub the cream into the skin when done.

As with all herbal formulations, please consult your physician before using this product. Use under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
