Herbs – Reviving Traditional Wisdom

In a world where modern medicine often dominates healthcare practices, the traditional use of herbs for healing and wellness is often overlooked. However, for DEEKSHA, herbs represent not only a valuable healthcare option but also a way of life deeply rooted in the principles of environmental conservation and community empowerment. Through its initiative, DEEKSHA is committed to preserving and promoting the use of medicinal plants and herbs for their therapeutic benefits while also fostering sustainable practices that support ecological balance and community well-being.

Herbal plants have always played a significant role in our Indian tradition wherein many Herbal plants are considered sacred and are even worshipped. It is common to see a Tulsi plant in every household, Neem being used for many remedial cures and a coconut being used in many auspicious ceremonies. Many herbs are used to treat various kinds of ailments, be it Tulsi, Mint, Ashwaganda or Aloe Vera.

Concern for health and wellbeing of mankind has further intensified interest in the greater use of herbal/medicinal plants. It is common knowledge now that the wide ranging benefits of herbal/medicinal plants are being increasingly recognized, understood and appreciated the World over. In fact, we all should know the importance of the herbs available around us. We must always remember that understanding of herbs is just one of the many types of wisdom that our ancestors had and it should be our endeavour to keep the interest about herbs alive in our future generations.

What is a herb? Well, a herb is a plant that is known and revered for flavour and its medicinal qualities other than its food value. In India, herbs are used in cooking, as medicines and for spiritual purposes.

DEEKSHA recognizes the rich heritage of traditional healing systems that have relied on the use of medicinal herbs for centuries. By promoting the use of herbs, DEEKSHA aims to preserve and revitalize this traditional knowledge. Herbs offer a natural and holistic approach to health and wellness, addressing a wide range of physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. DEEKSHA promotes the use of herbs as a way to achieve greater well-being, emphasizing their therapeutic properties and their ability to support the body’s innate healing processes.

Embracing herbs as a way of life aligns with DEEKSHA’s broader mission of promoting sustainable living practices that are in harmony with the natural world. By incorporating herbs into daily life, individuals can reduce their reliance on synthetic medications and chemical-based products, thereby minimizing their environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.

Herbs represent more than just a healthcare option for DEEKSHA – they embody a way of life deeply connected to principles of environmental sustainability, community empowerment, and holistic well-being.

Having realized the immesnse value of herbs for cooking, flavour, medicinal and spritual uses in our system of life, DEEKSHA has initiated a programme to revive the legacy of Herbal/medicinal plants and herbs that have been a part of our Indian tradition since ages. Since past many years, we have been:

As a result of our endeavours, many Corporate/Government Offices, Educational Institutions, Individuals and Residential Colonies/Societies have joined hands with us in order to make this thought of reviving the legacy of herbalism a reality. Over the past many years we have supplied good quality, organically grown and well nurtured herbal plants to individuals and various institutions. Besides supplying potted herbal plants to individuals/corporates, we have also developed over 450 herbal gardens to date.  

If you would like to buy herbal plants/potted herbal plants for your home/office/institution or want to develop a herbal garden at your institution, please contact us by filling and submitting the form given below.

Gift Herbal Plants

It would be far more beneficial for organisations, both corporate and government, to gift their employee’s potted herbal plants instead of sweets/chocolates on occasions because when you gift herbal plants – you gift life to your priceless employees/colleagues.
