The pomegranate has been a symbol of immortality and love through the ages.
As early as 5000 years ago the pomegranate was cultivated for its health benefits. Ancient China considered the juice to have concentrated life energy that granted immortality. Through ages pomegranate has been a symbol of immortality. According to legend it stood in paradise as tree of life. Also in the middle ages in Northern Europe the fruit was considered to bestow long life.
These beliefs are not without foundation: modern research has proven pomegranates to be an unrivaled source of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are naturally found in citrus fruits, grape seeds, red wine and green tea.
Pomegranates have also been traditionally used as aphrodisiacs. The deep red peel gives off an exotic aroma that takes our imaginations to the mysterious world of Arabian nights. Even today the wondrously beautiful blossom remains a symbol of love.
The pomegranate symbolizes Nature in its glory: its abundance, its strength and its ability to change, its unity and diversity and its capacity for renewal and regeneration.
Mix 1 part Pranayur Pomegranate Concentrate with 4 parts of water.
Also delicious to mix into spirits, cocktail and dishes.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Pomegranate concentrate is exotic, refreshing and delicious; for an unforgettable taste. Pranayur pomegranate concentrate contains fermented extracts of fruit, juice, rind, peel and blossom.

Hayfever
Neat and Elegant Ceramic Neti pot
Recommendations: Mix a measure of finely ground, Pure salt
(no additives) in the neti pot with warm water until the salt is completely dissolved. Turn your head to one side over a sink, keep the forehead at about the same height as the chin. Gently insert the spout into the upper nostril to seal it. Raise the neti pot until the water flows out the lower nostril.
Repeat on the other side.
Made in Germany
With no chemical additives -just salt !
100% natural sea salt for Neti (no additives)
Note: Due to its natural state, the ground particles tend to stick together during storage. This is normal as there are no additives to keep the salt free flowing. You may need to carefully loosen a dose with a hard utensil or probe before mixing. We recommend using a teaspoon handle with a scraping action to re-grind the salt.
Pure salt is also normally available from most health stores. Do not use normal table salt as it is likely to have too many chemicals in it (e.g. lots of anti-caking agents) which are likely to irritate the sinuses.. If in doubt, check the label or ask a pharmacist.
Our recommendation for one neti-pot is to mix 1 spatula (included in salt pot) to 125ml of warm water at hand temperature.

A complete kit for an Ayurvedic foot massage
Daily massage, especially foot massage, is an essential component of a healthy daily routine.
Foot massage with the Ghee is a traditional Ayurveda healing practice.
It stimulates Marma
(pressure) points - meridians for organs in the body to promote overall healing and balance.
Use of the Pranayur Tongue Cleaner freshens the breath and promotes healthy gums and teeth.
Ama(metabolic waste) accumulates on the tongue because the tongue is a mirror of the condition of the digestive tract.
The condition of the tongue is a major criteria for Ayurvedic evaluation. Ama
(metabolic waste) from the stomach and digestive tract collect on the back of the tongue, forming a white or yellowish coating. This happens especially during the night. It is said that while swallowing, ama can return to the stomach and intestines and needlessly tax the digestive tract and immune system, since it is seen by the body to be a foreign substance.
Regular cleaning of the tongue balances the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Tongue Cleaner to promote fresh breath, healthy gums and teeth and overall digestive health
Place the Tongue Cleaner on the back of the tongue and gently scrape forward 6-8 times, taking care not to use to much pressure or too many strokes.
Scrape the tongue each morning and evening before brushing and flossing.
When finished, rinse the Tongue Cleaner under the tap and allow to dry.
