A Discovery Of Ancient Indian Culture Through Zrii

Flying into New Delhi is not necessarily a luxurious experience. After the much awaited passport stamp, I was guided down a long pathway completely surrounded by hoards of people. Any travel agent would advise you to keep a careful watch on your bags and avoid eye contact with all beggars-warning that if you disregard this advice you will unavoidably find yourself surrounded by dozens of starving, homeless children that won’t leave your side until you’ve surrendered money. It’s quite an environment to behold, and still my mind frequently wanders back to my own three-week stay in India, baffled by the wonder of its ancient culture that is now so often labeled by this pitiful, chaotic scene.

After a night in Delhi, my group and I boarded a never-ending 12-hour night train that carried us through the wilderness of northern India. Our next stop didn’t last long. My group and I quickly transferred into a small SUV that carried us up a windy, one-laned road to our desired destination-Chamba India. This Northern city lies amongst the treacherous slopes of the Himilayan Mountain and is home to over 1,500 quaint villages. The inhabitants of this beautiful area thrive off of the land and honor those that came before them. I couldn’t ignore the unique culture of these isolated people and continue to find myself very interested in their lifestyle.

As they appear devoted to maintaining the principles of their culture, the people of Chamba seemed to religiously follow strict diets, meditation schedules, worship and exercise. Not to mention, all of the elderly looked as though they has lived long, happy, healthy lives. My curiosity and desire to understand the Northern Indian people lingered-remaining with me long after my three weeks spent abroad.

My research about India’s culture led me to the ancient practice that promotes health called Ayurveda. Followers of Ayurvedic medicine closely observe principles and guidelines falling under these six philosophical systems: the discipline of body and spirit, theory of the atom, knowledge, behavior, logic and causality. Within these six systems there are codes instructing followers how to treat their body and help it maintain a state of maximum health.

I began to realize the similarities between Ayurvedic principals and the lifestyle of the people of Chama. The villagers always seemed aware of the things they put in their body and followed a close schedule of daily meditation. My curiosity continued when I found out that Ayurveda has a list of botanicals that are labeled with ways they can improve the body. Some of these botanicals were said to help the body in ways that even modern medicines don’t.

Most of these botanicals grow in great abundance throughout several parts of Asia and particularly in India. Indian people, for thousands of years, have used various herbs, fruits and roots to help fight off infectious diseases. It is believed that these active botanicals have always been successful in helping its consumers maintain health by providing people with essential vitamins and minerals. After learning the potentials of Ayurvedic medicine, I started looking for ways that I could incorporate its practices and principles into my own life. In the process of this search I came across the nutrition company Zrii that uses Ayurvedic principles to provide a product and program to help improve lives.

Zrii provides an Ayurvedic-based Amalaki juice drink, made from six of the ancient medicine’s most important botanicals: Ginger, amalaki, tulsi, turmeric, schizandra and jujube. But Zrii goes beyond providing some of these important ingredients-they also promote the longevity of life through a program organized to help consumers reach a state of prime health.

I was so pleased to stumble upon the Ayurvedic ways. Not only has my trip to India and interest in the culture of Chamba’s people has led me to a new appreciation for the country’s heritage, but more importantly led me to discovering a lifestyle that can improve my own health the same way it has helped the Indian people for thousands of year.

To best understand Zrii you must first learn about the Zrii ingredients. Afterword you can become a Zrii distributor!
