The working of two or more herbs in a combination to enhance each other’s individual effect is known as Herbal Synergy. Such a herbal formulation is much more effective and safer on the body than consuming one herb alone. E.G. Combination of ‘Harad’ and ‘Amla’ is more powerful than consuming only one of the two. Though if ‘baheda’ is also added it becomes a ‘Tri-dosha shamak’ combination which is even more effective. Herbal synergy is also a very prominent and popular concept in modern herbal studies and chinese herbology.
