Modern Discovery Of The Ancient Fountain Of Youth

Is it your dream to stay youthful, healthy and full of vigor and vitality as you get older! Don’t we all want the buoyancy, energy, and mental capabilities we had in our youth? I do! That’s why I am interested in rejuvenating therapies. The idea of rejuvenation therapy is unique to the ancient science of Ayurveda which is a system of health in India that is based on 5,000 years of wisdom. There are 8 branches of Ayurveda and the branch that deals with rejuvenation of the body/mind is called Rasayana (ra-sigh-ana) therapy. In this article I’d like to tell you how this can work for you to invigorate your life.

“Rasayana” is a Sanskrit word. “Rasa” is translated as juice, and “anaya” is translated as path. So Rasayana literally means “the path of juice” and any substance that helps to bring about the rejuvenation of youthful physical or mental energy is considered a Rasayana.

As we age our tissues dry out which results in a slower transportation of nutrients into the cells and a slower release of toxic wastes out of the body. Rasayanas restore body functions taxed by the stress, and the wear and tear of our daily lives and they bring back the juiciness and glow of youth by replenishing vital fluids, and producing healthy body tissue and then eliminating toxicity.

The most effective time to administer rasayana therapy is after a deep cleanse. A detoxified body and mind is like a clean cloth that is ready to absorb the color in which it has been dipped, unlike a dirty cloth which looks dirty even after coloring it with bright colors.

The rasayana I recommend most often after the cleanse is Amalaki. Amalaki is a “wonder” rasayana and has earned the name “the great rejuvenator” and “the fruit of immortality” because has so many restorative and healing properties. In fact, The Charaka Samhita, the ancient authoritative text of Ayurveda considers Amalaki the most effective rejuvenative food in the plant kingdom. For one thing, although the fruit is only about the size of a golf ball, amalaki has far more vitamin C than as many as 20 oranges.

Amalaki is said to nourish the heart, skin, blood, bones, liver and it has a direct effect on the digestive system and building and strengthening the immune system. It is helpful in combating fatigue, insomnia and depression because it helps balance the body with all of its phytochemicals, carotenoids, polyphenols, bioflavonoids, tannins, amino acids and minerals. If I could take just one supplement for the remainder of my life, it would be Amalaki.

Amalaki is available in a variety of ways. Some companies prepare them in paste form using ghee and honey, others use pills, and recently we discovered a new company called Zrii which offers it in a liquid form. Almost always it is combined with many complimentary herbs which gives a stronger effect than one single herb. What we love about Zrii is the taste! Because Zrii includes five of the six tastes, sweet, sour, pungent, bitter and astringent, the flavor explodes in your mouth.

The best way to take it is to take it out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before drinking and drink it slowly and swish it around in your mouth for up to 30 seconds, before swallowing. Zrii will begin to be absorbed in the mouth through the sublingual and submaxillary glands. The recommended adult serving size is 3 ounces per day on an empty stomach.
