Quality Assurance
While buying any herb every one is suspicious about the quality of herbs, and their potency to give the claimed benefits. To make customers sure about the services different portal are getting verification from relevant authorities, but we are of firm belief that nothing can be better certification than the satisfaction one have after getting the expected results. Look at right column to know how much satisfied our customers are with our services.
We have some guidelines to be followed to ensure the customers get best of the haerbs available on net. These are as under:
The herbs we are providing are collected from their natural habitats. Every herb has its own habitat and natural conditions. These conditions contribute a lot in the healing capacity of these herbs. We can grow an herb in any maintained conditions but we cannot bring the healing qualities in these herbs, artificially!
Beyond this, Ayurveda has told clearly that a particular herb will do best when it will be collected from so and so place. We have enlisted the things properly and follow the 5000 years old scripts as it is. It is hard but is worthy for our ethics and moral. For example- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is available in market very easily today. One client of ours mailed us asking that he is using Ashwagandha from last two months but there is nothing like a potent aphrodisiac herb as it is told by Ayurveda. My answer was direct, the Ashwagandha he was using was not from Nagaur District (A place in west of Rajasthan). And once he used the Ashwagandha sent by us, he was amazed about the results and authenticity and knowledge of Ayurveda.
Beside this we have heard people spray some volatile oils/chemical perfumes in an old herbal powder, to add some good smell in it. We don’t need to do anything like this. Our herbs are always sanctified with all natural energies.
Ayurveda was the first authentic science to talk about the herbs and their use for the health purpose. Ayurvedic seers found that herbs have immense power to health the body as according to Ayurveda Herbs and human beings are one and same basically. These herbs when used properly are best for the body. Ayurveda has all the details about the herbs-

How to purify an herb?
These are detailed in all the original texts of Ayurveda. We have collected all the information and are using all those authentic and Ayurvedic manners. No doubt it is important to use the modern day technologies; we are not far behind that.We use all the possible ways to identify a proper herb on the basis of“Chromatography”, “Section Cutting” and “Chemical and Physical Analysis”. This is all for providing the best quality of herbs to you. But when it comes to use the herbs in an Ayurvedic way, it is important to know all ifs and buts about Ayurvedic approach towards a medicinal plant. For example these day people start to store the Amalaki as soon as fruits ripe and people are looking for the species of the Amalaki with maximum pulp in its fruit (modified species??).Ayurveda has told that the best collection time for Amalaki (When one wants to store it for therapeutic uses) is between months of February and April. Fruits with lesser pulp (unmodified species) are told to be the best by Ayurvedic text. We are abide to follow the indications told by Ayurveda.
Adulteration is an issue, which cause a lot of problems in herbal industry. Improper selection of a drug is not good in any manner. Improper herbs give improper results and blame comes on Ayurveda. We are the first in industry to care about all these small issues. We are committed to give you the best of nature, the best for your health. There are different reasons for adulteration like-
-
Confusion of name e.g. In Ayurveda, ‘Parpatta’refers to Fumaria parviflora. In Siddha ‘Parpadagam’ refers to Mollugopentaphylla. Owing to the similarity in the names in traditional systems of medicine, these two herbs are often interchanged or adulterated or substituted.
-
Lack of knowledge about the authentic source e.g. ‘Nagakesar’ is one of the important drugs in Ayurveda. The authentic source is Mesua ferrea. However, market samples are adulterated with flowers of Calophyllum inophyllum. Though the authentic plant is available in plenty throughout the Western Ghats and parts of Himalayas, suppliers are unaware of it. There may also be some restrictions in forest collection. Due to these reasons, C. inophyllum(which is in the plains) is sold as Nagakesar.
-
Similarity in morphology e.g. Mucuna pruriens is the best example for unknown authentic plant and similarity in morphology. It is adulterated with other similar papilionaceae seeds. M. utilis (sold as white variety) and M. deeringiana (sold as bigger variety) are popular adulterants.
-
Lack of authentic plant e.g. Hypericum perforatum is cultivated and sold in European markets. In India, availability of this species is very limited. However, the abundant Indo-Nepalspecies H. patulum, sold in the name of H. perforatum.
-
Similarity in color e.g. It is well known that in course of time, drug materials get changed to or substituted with other plant species. ‘Ratanjot’ is a recent day example. In past, roots of Ventilago madraspatana were collected from Western Ghats, as the only source of ‘Ratanjot’. However, that is not the practice now. It is clearly known that Arnebia euchroma var euchroma is the present source.
-
Malpractice: When things are available ready-made, people never try to find out the reality. People just calculate the profits and come into the business. We are dealing with herbs not as traders; first of all we are physicians.
Above all, the matter is of Knowledge and well qualified team. We are blessed by Lord Dhanvantri that we have a genuine and well qualified team of specialists with us.
This confusion seems to be minor, but it is crucial when it comes to the therapeutic use of an herb. We have a plus point that we are having a well qualified and educated team with us to bring the best and appropriate quality of herbs to you. We have Dr. Ravinder Sharma with us, who has worked with the largest Ayurvedic Pharmacy of the world (Dabur India Ltd.) as a quality control executive; he has a pretty good experience to overcome all these issues. Besides him, Mr.Vinay Sharma – B. Sc. (Bio-technology and Botany) M. Sc. (Medicinal Plants Ayurveda) is also a specialist in the same. So you need not to worry, when it comes to provide the best quality of herbs to you.
Modern Day parameters change every now an then. These all parameters are well tested in laboratories, but not time tested. Ayurveda is a timeless science. Eternal thoughts of Ayurveda are same since 5000 years and none can challenge these findings, hypothesis and regulations. Herbs are no doubt are natural source to maintain our health and also similar in the basic configuration with us. Still these are different and not always but a lot of herbs are told to be harmful in one or other way for our bodies. To be herbal is never enough to assure that it will be healthy and helpful for us. So Ayurvedic methodology is important to consider, as we have discussed the same in above paragraphs. We follow Ayurvedic Basic Principals with out any doubt and negligence and this is our strength.
