The Siddha doctors create these formula, which are from the sacred mountain herbs, that are fermented and distilled and with a natural organic syrup base of pressed vegetable extracts, a natural glycerin to maximize the components absorbed in the three part extractions and combination with the minerals (bhasma). These are potent but gentle elixirs, best taken in spiritual reverence, in meditation, during fasting or extremely Sattvic diet as part of a detox from toxins, from intrusive thoughts, from wasted energy and wayward passions. These are certified organic ingredients, tested for heavy metals, and the most potent, safe and gentle for detox and fasting. The resulting elixir is filtered and distilled, and this resulting spirit is used to fresh more of the fresh plant material and this results in a syrup that is gentle sublimated with the mineral extracts from the calcinated plant materials, which are brought to a nano-particle like fineness through repeated treatment, creating a powerful bhasma that is circulated at body temperature to combine in a process that takes 9 months and this is the mother tincture and source of these elixirs.
