From the roots to branches: I witnessed it all


My grandfather was diagnosed with diabetics in 1945 while he was serving as a Subedaar in the Indian Army. The whole family moved to Delhi after partition in 1947 from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. I remember him as a tall handsome disciplinarian who used to wear crisp clothes and starched turban. We used to accompany him for his morning and evening walks to a botanical garden near our house (in Lucknow) with small kashmiri baskets. We used to have fun picking up fallen off nimoli, gooseberries, jamun, amla, karonda and so many other parts of the plants. It was so exciting as we used to go back home and segregate the same, wash it dry , crush and grind it in pestle and mortar( we used to call it Langree Sota and we still possess it). Then it used to be transferred to a sieve and the powder was packed in labeled bottles. That’s when we learnt the effectiveness of herbal medicines.He passed away in 1975 and sustained himself through diabetics and other ailments with only herbal products which were home made. Our family and entire neighborhood relied on his home remedies for all the ailments. My mother was advised knee surgery in 1994 and the whole family was devastated. But thanks to Glucosamine from Amway , few months of consumption and she was up and about.
Endorsing herbal products comes genetically and naturally to me. Being a biology teacher in school I understand the specificity of DNA finger printing and thus choosing the specific species for a product. The “ Nine Step Approach” followed by the Nutrilite , preserves the active ingredients which supports sustainable hectic lifestyles. India is a land of diverse cultures, traditions and variety of demographic ecosystems which are a store house of unlimited flora and fauna. We connect to nature with a scientific approach and can well reason the benefits of herbal nutrition which are boosters in our stressed lives. The use of mint, turmeric, tulsi, neem, amla , mulathi, ginger etc are in the grandmothers home remedies for array of ailments.
Facing the challenges of rushed lifestyles today , we are at a backfoot and find it difficult to bridge the gap between natural well being and time. With global warming leading to climate change , the threat of unexplained immunity disorders looms over us thus depleting our energy and degrading our efficiency levels. The products from Amway hit the nail on the head and looks after our holistic well being thus filling in the gaps which we ignore. The nutrition supplements boost our well being thus lifting all our quotients. The latest products launched by Amway –Tulsi, Aswagandha,Brahmi and a blend of Amlaki, Vibhitaki and Haritaki have components which boost all the systems of our body.
In this world and age, we have to make smart choices. We have to remain rooted, be traditional in our thoughts and scientific in our approach.
Amway is the “way” to go as it has been certified for purity, safety and potency.
