ORGANIC INDIA celebrates
World Environment Day | | This year's World Environment Day is being held in India on June 5, where discussions for a sustainable Green Economy are beginning to take root. ORGANIC INDIA is living proof that abundance can be created with an uncompromising commitment to social and environmental responsibility. ORGANIC INDIA began 15 years ago, setting in motion the Organic Revolution in India with the vision to create a holistic sustainable business modality, which inspires and promotes well-being and respect for all beings and for Mother Nature. Today ORGANIC INDIA is a global leader in promoting quality organic products and in supporting sustainable farming, forest herbal wild crafting and village/tribal agricultural communities in India. | | What is Organic Farming? | | Organic farming means growing plants, herbs, vegetables without the use of chemical manures and insecticides, pesticides and herbicides. Nature is regenerated and protected by natural means, with cow-dung, leaves in the form of compost, wormiculture, biodynamic manure and green manure. For insect repellant, cow urine, neem leave juice and neem cake are used in place of insecticides. Thus medicinal herbs grow vibrantly healthy, free from all poisonous substances. | | Why Organic food, nutrition, medicine & disease treatment? | | The hazards to human health through commonly used chemicals such as Organophosphorous compounds DDT, and Gammaxene, raise questions that call for urgent consideration of their deeper implications. Known and unknown diseases related to chemical toxicity are increasing day by day, especially kidney and liver related cancers and diseases. The life of man on the Mother Earth has become stressed and miserable, in spite of all modern facilities. Slow chemical poisoning has become a phenomena of the present day: along with our daily intake of vegetables, fruits, food grains, water, and other aquatic and terrestrial sources of fish and meat, we consume a steady intake of poison! Even those who turn to long trusted Medicinal Herbals seeking relief from their ailments are poisoned by chemicals and toxic metals. For the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to progress in such times, the herbs themselves ought to be healthfully grown, robust and free of chemical residues, to truly benefit human treatment. This is the main lacunae, which is not known to common people, even amongst many Ayurvedic physicians or Modern Doctors: many herbal formulations contain dangerous amounts of chemicals and heavy metals. | | Ancient Life Science Wisdom The 7000 year old holistic concept of Ayurveda, the "science of life", reminds us that True Wellness is a balanced and dynamic integration between our body, mind, spirit - and our environment. We are an ecology within a greater ecology: the cells in the body, the man in society, all mirrors the ecosystems of Nature in survival and existence with each other. Since the Vedic times, Ayurveda advocates that for any medicinal herb or plant to be useful for any living system, the "Prana" of the herb must be maintained: the herbs should be alive with all its natural bio chemical complex compounds intact. | | How Does ORGANIC INDIA Achieve True Wellness? From preservation of seed and enrichment of the soil, through cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing and packaging, all phases of organic production process reflect our commitment to holistic quality, and to socially and environmentally responsible practices that regenerate the earth and create well being at every level of our ecology. Wellness begins with the land itself, for the mother soil has been polluted with inorganic manures like Urea, which initially seemed useful yet has led to soil depletion. In the areas where ORGANIC INDIA started 15 years ago, the farmland was devastated, water supplies were contaminated, livestock was unhealthy, wildlife was disappearing, and the health and well-being of all the people, young and old, was compromised by the permeation of toxic agro chemicals and the resultant extreme poverty. Thousands of farmer suicides have resulted from this environmental devastation. - ORGANIC INDIA provides opportunities for farmers irrespective of their castes, creed and economic status, also for the poor and disadvantaged landless workers, to become self sufficient and empowered by improving their skills and economic security.
- ORGANIC INDIA supplies the highest quality organic seed, and works alongside farmers in naturally enriching the quality of the soil and supervise crop rotation to ensure a healthy biodiversity. Farmers are trained and educated in all aspects of sustainable organic and biodynamic farming methods. This has become the largest and most widely spread Certified Organic cultivation plan by any organization in India.
- ORGANIC INDIA developed unique processing methods and advanced dehydration technologies to ensure maximum retention of potency and nutritional values, so that we can remain true to our commitment to offer the highest quality organic products available today. Our Organic Ayurvedic and Medicinal Herbal Formulations are also registered and licensed as Ayurvedic Medicines.
- All the herbs selected for our formulations have been exclusively studied on experimental models of animals and also clinically tried in humans for 31 years in the upgraded Dept. of Pharmacology and Therapeutic, KGMC, Lucknow and now at the Institute of International Society of Herbal Medicines (ISHM) and Association of Modernized Promotion of Asian Traditional Medicine (AMPATM) formed by 12 Asian countries.
ORGANIC INDIA is committed to service, sanctity and integrity, and to operating an ethical and sustainable business that harms none and benefits all. Everyday ORGANIC INDIA grows as our customers enjoy our products, and more and more farmers, businesses and organizations share our vision. We invite you to join in the celebration of ORGANIC INDIA and discover for yourself the beauty of a natural way of life. Each of us is an integral ecology within the greater ecology of our existence.
