Zrii?- An Ayurvedic Amalaki Formulation Like No Other

Filed under Medicine

Ayurvedic
The Ayurveda texts are sacred texts which date back to thousands of years ago. Ayurveda was a medical discipline which began around five thousand years ago. The Ayurvedic texts are the most ancient and the longest medical texts around. This impressive collection of texts includes a lot of skillfully treated herbal mixtures which are each intended to open up the complete potency of a particular fruit or herb. In a nutshell, the useful qualities of one plant are targeted to make the beneficial qualities of another plant potent. It is through this type of synergistic process that the full healing effect of Ayurveda is realized. Due to its amazing nutritional benefits, amalaki holds its own place at the top of the Ayurvedic herbs and it is considered to be a super food second to none. When creating Zrii, the amalaki fruit could have been mixed with only fruit juices making a healthy liquid drink.

However, when the Zrii team was learning about Ayurveda’s origin, the texts, and formulations, they wondered whether combining the ancient art of Ayurveda with modern dietary science could produce a synergistic mixture unparalleled in the nutritional market. If amlaki were combined with other fruit juices, then the effectiveness of amalaki would be released in certain ways which fruit juices alone could not reach. Bill Farley, the owner of the company which created Zrii, along with his management team rapidly realized that planning this mixture was far easier than actually being able to design and produce this complex formulation.

Apart from the challenge posed by the creation of the powerful synergistic mixture, there was no other company in the market which had made use of amalaki effectively in a juice-based system. In an effort to realize this task and rise to the challenge, Zrii created a strong team of top-notch experts. This team included Western medical doctors who had won awards for their performance, famous Ayurvedic scholars and physicians, and PhDs in modern nutrition and chemistry. The team spent many months trying out different combinations in order to the create the amalaki and fruit juice blend, and finally came up with a formulation which included amalaki and six other ‘actives’ which would support it and help to unlock its potency.

The Zrii team followed the hallowed Ayurvedic formulation which comprised of the botanical trio of amalaki, turmeric and tulsi. They also wished to have a global influence by the blend they would create. Apart from basing their formulation on this triad, they also drew inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine, because of the very harmonizing and adoptogenic features which the fruits jujube and schizandra share with amalaki. Also, the famous ayurvedic fruit haritaki was added to the mixture due to its slight detoxifying properties and ginger was also added because it helps to digest all these ingredients well. These 6 actives are valuable in themselves apart from ‘potentizing’ amlaki. Tulsi improves digestion and intestinal health, turmeric improves circulation and digestion, jujube calms the nerves, schizandra improves cerebral function and memory.

A Short Introduction To Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic
Ayurveda is the Sanskrit work meaning “knowledge of life” and Ayurvedic Medicine is an alternative form of medicine. It is a traditional Indian medicine which scholars are still not sure about when it actually began, but the general consensus is that it began between 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. In fact scholars are now saying that Ayurvedic Medicine is the oldest form of medicine around and were influenced by both Greek and Traditional Chinese medicine. Because of this claim Ayurvedic Medicine has become labeled the “Mother of all Healing”. It is the art of balance and longevity for the human body.

Understanding Ayurvedic Medicine in the beginning is difficult because of all the “strange terminologies” that are associated with it. But once someone has got used to these it does become much easier to understand.

Ayurveda has it roots in an ancient religion and that religion is Hinduism. In the beginning and for many years the practices of Ayurveda were passed down by word of mouth. When people first began to write down the practices of Ayurveda it was written on to palm leaves and then later on people began to write it down on to manuscripts. These medical manuals are known as the “Charaka Samhita” and the “Sushruta Samhita” and are rooted in early Vedic culture. The Vedic culture is inherently spiritual and focuses on love, philosophy and “Universal Truths”.

In Ayurveda a person is not just seen as a body and mind but rather as an entity that includes a spiritual dimension and if you wish to live in harmony with the cosmic law you will live the Ayurvedic way of life.

As far as Ayurvedic Medicine is concerned we are all created by the cosmos as either a male energy (Purusha) or a female energy (Prakruti). Whilst the Purusha is passive awareness the Prakruti is an active consciousness. Ayurvedic Medicine is holistic in its concepts as it tries to maintain the balance between the body, mind and spirit of a person. This can be done though the person having the right thoughts, diet and lifestyle. According to Ayurvedic Medicine the body is composed of 5 basic elements which are called the Panchamahabhootas and this is then divided as follows Space - Akasha, Air - Vayu, Water - Apa, Fire - Tejas and Earth - Prithvi.

Where Ayurvedic Medicine is concerned it is imperative that you understand what brings about the balance and what causes an unbalance in a person. It is not just physically, mentally and socially that we have to be in harmony but also spiritually as well. Whether there is an increase or decrease in any of the qualities of the doshas will cause an imbalance. An imbalance can be caused due to time or age (although they do not cause many problems) these problems can be easily rectified. Whilst in the case of an unnatural imbalance and where the problems may be more serious then more attention will need to be applied to achieve the right balance. Such imbalances may be caused due to an inappropriate diet or lifestyle or a traumatic experience or a virus that you have caught.

Ayurvedic Medicine consists of many different components which help to bring the doshas back into balance and some such treatments may include meditation, herbal preparation, diet, pulse diagnosis and yoga. Ayurvedic Medicine is made from herbs or a mixture of herbs and will be a combination of one or more of the following:-

Herbs

Minerals

Metals

Animals

Though Ayurvedic Medicine is still being looked at with some skeptism when practiced in the West it has been said to be rather successful when dealing with digestive disorders, skin problems, gynecological problems and alleviating problems related to congested sinuses and stress.

Some of these popular ancient Ayurvedic herbs include cinnamon, ginger, Gotu Kola, Boswellia, Gymnema, and East Indian Globe Thistle can now easily be found at your local grocery store or herbal medicine store.

One of the most common herbs In India, Gotu Kola, is a great herb for healing wounds and addressing skin disorders. It is sensitive in nature and can be used for insomnia and is also said to help lower blood pressure.

In fact, if you put this herb on your tongue you’ll notice that it did in the case of sweets. Some theorize that this may be able to help in weight loss as it may reduce a craving for sweets. Use of it in diabetics showed a decrease In blood sugar levels.

You might use cinnamon and your baking but it’s also been used by Ayurvedic Herbalists for hundreds of years is a stimulant. It also works to sue the toothache pain, makes a great astringent and can help with rheumatism. Cinnamon essential oil has an anti-fungal and antibacterial properties.

It seems over the centuries we have lost our knowledge of the effects that the spices have on our body and how they can be used to treat ailments.

Of course if you have a medical condition that you think one of these herbs might help you should consult your doctor so that he or she can review your current medications to see if there would be any adverse effects before you take any herbs. Just because herbs are natural doesn’t mean that they don’t have side effects and they can interact with your medicines in an adverse manner. Take ginseng for example - this herb thins the blood so If you are on blood tinners and you add ginseng to your diet you could end up making your blot too thin and it won’t clot which could become life threatening if you cut yourself. When in doubt, it’s best to consult a medical professional.
