Ayurveda Medicines, Ayurvedic Herbs and Ayurvedic Treatments

Ayurveda is not just only about treating diseases. Ayurveda is just about leading a healthy life in a physical, mental and divine level. The food items we eat, the air we breathe, the freshness of nature we experience, the fragrance we smell, the good sights we enjoy, all have potential medicinal values.

This is best illustrated by the story of Jeevaka’s test. It is the final test assigned by Jeevaka’s Acharya (teacher) Athreya.

Jeevaka (Jivaka), like other disciples of Atreya had to bring a herb or a leaf with no medicinal value. Jivaka, could not find such a plant or a herb. However, it was only a manifestation of superior knowledge he had on the value of plants, herbs and all elements of nature.

Jivaka explained that whatever plant he saw had some medicinal property, which can be used under optimum conditions for best results. He said even the slanting sunrays, cool breeze, the sound of water flowing through a rivulet, the singing of birds too have medicinal properties. Some have medicinal qualities to treat physical ailments while others have powers to cure mental disturbances.

One should look at Ayurveda medicines in this light. Nothing on the earth is without a reason. Every leaf, flower, root and stem has medicinal qualities under specific conditions.

Have a look at Ayurvedic medicines prepared by Ayurvedic herbs for different Ayurvedic treatments. Ayurvedic medicines are prepared by a combination of selected roots, leaves or stems of Ayurvedic medicinal herbs. These herbs form part of Ayurvedic massage oil, Ayurvedic herbal decoctions called kashaya, Ayurvedic jam called Rasayana, Ayurvedic Ghee called ghrita etc.

According to Ayurveda, diseases can occur when there is a slight imbalance in the basic humors of human body – vata, pitta and kapha, which collectively is known as tridosha or three doshas.

Ayurvedic treatment is a method of restoring balance of human system through proper application of medicine by drinking, eating or application by massaging.

Preparations of medicines are under controlled conditions. Slight variations from standard condition can spoil the medicine.

There are also quality standards for the medicinal herbs collected for Ayurveda medicine preparation.

Zrii?- An Ayurvedic Amalaki Formulation Like No Other

Ayurvedic15 Zrii?  An Ayurvedic Amalaki Formulation Like No Other
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.
