As an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Brand and Wellness Community, Amrutam’s goal has always been to bring together a community of individuals who are as passionate about Ayurveda and natural living.
Literally translating to the‘Elixir of Life’, Amrutam’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring.
What began as a fascination towards Ayurveda, spirituality and the journey of knowing and healing the self through nature, Amrutam’s founders soon found themselves immersed deeply in the world of ancient sciences. It began with collecting books and texts.
Slowly and gradually, through intensive research and understanding of the Ayurvedic texts, things began to unfold.
After decoding Sanskrit and its poetic meters, aided with knowledge gathered through travels and enchanting experiences, and amassing anecdotes from saints and sages, we found answers for a healthy life in nature: Nature is Us. We are Nature.
The human body is so much more than just limbs and bones. In fact, according to the principles of Ayurveda, there lies a whole universe within the human body.
Our health is based on four pillars – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. And the equilibrium of all is a pathway to achieve enlightenment. Hence, we strongly believe in and endorse the idea – Health is Beauty.
Having learned the significance of the healing powers of nature and the positive vibrations that surround us, we have realized that beauty lies in good health.
The main idea behind establishing Amrutam can be attributed to the dwindling faith of people in Ayurveda. In his travels,Mr. Ashok Gupta, founding principal of Amrutam, observed that most Ayurvedic formulations available commercially had substantial amounts ofglucose and sugar in their formulations,forcing the medicinal herbs and spices in the recipe to a backseat role.
He wanted to create Ayurvedic products that contained optimal concentrations of herbal extracts that could efficiently cure the patient.
As a direct consequence of this ideology and support from his wife, Amrutam boasts an impressive repertoire of Malts and other Ayurvedic formulations designed to provide relief for most known physical and mental ailments.
The first-ever product curated at Amrutam was Madhu-Panchamrut – a bottle of honey enriched with topical herbs, back at the time of its inception. Today, Amrutam boasts a rich, distinguished and continually expanding range of over 115 products!
From delicate skin-care to hair-care to Ayurvedic malts and gourmet drinks and consumables – with each recipe,we curate experiences that make you feel closer to yourself.
Did you know that Ayurvedic malts are enriched with 50+ ingredients and take weeks, sometimes months to prepare to get the essence of herbs right? Only natural sweeteners are added in the recipes in the form of jaggery and honey!
One of our bestsellers
has reached over 30,000 families in India and has become the most loved DIY recipe for families across the country.
As one of our community members rightly put, it is a “magic potion in a bottle”.
Keeping in mind the importance of authentic and superior quality ingredients, we ethically source herbs and spices from all across the country, going as far as Karnataka in down south and Gujarat in the west.
Many of the ingredients are grown in our own gardens which we lovingly call the Amrutam Vatika.
All the ingredients we use are handpicked and carefully preserved. Later they are subjected to rigorous qualitative tests before they are purified and used for subsequent recipes.
The process of creation of each recipe is largely extensive and begins with the thorough cleansing of each ingredient. The ingredients are washed and dried and then cooked for as long it as takes to maximize their benefits.
Immense care is practiced throughout the whole process and all Amrutam Recipes are made by hand to ensure human connection.
We firmly believe that the potency that comes from making each formulation by hand can never be replicated by machines.
At Amrutam Factory, special emphasis is also given to harboring positive thoughts. While making recipes, we always think and carry positive thoughts because thoughts become energies.
And this energy is transferred into the process of creation. We only want positive energy to reach the person using or consuming any of Amrutam’s products. Positive thoughts are just as important as positive actions,” explains Mrs. Chandrakanta Gupta in an interview.
Recognizing the importance of scientific testing and analysis, Amrutam Factory has been built with Quality Assurance and Testing Laboratories with requisite equipment and modules.
All our recipes are thoroughly tested and are 100% Ayurvedic with absolutely no side effects.
Long before Amrutam converted into an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Brand and Wellness Community from a local business, our recipes have been highly recommended and prescribed by Ayurveda doctors and healers as part of their treatment.
With the finest herbs and most potent of spices, our formulations are immensely therapeutic and eliminate the possibility of relapse; they have helped and continue to help thousands of people across the globe in leading a healthier and longer life.
Over the years, during the course of its working, Amrutam has cultivated strong familial bonds – be it within Amrutam Office with people who have literally grown up with Amrutam or between Amrutam Contributors who work from faraway places and seldom sit face-to-face.
Empathy is religiously practiced, and thus, sincerity with work never takes a back seat because of the flexible and understanding atmosphere.
At the core, Amrutam is just a big, giant family of Ayurveda lovers who find strength and courage in exploring new avenues with each other.
There’s a mutual understanding among everyone and goals are set early on. Work commences and is carried as per the pace of each individual and there’s more than ample opportunity for growth.
“Team Amrutam has always exhibited immeasurable faith in my work and vision. The creative autonomy and liberty to express my thoughts into photos have been really rewarding,” says Amrutam’s editorial photographer Gopi Vadsak.
Given our vision to build a community of natural living enthusiasts, we started a blog-segment – ‘Rediscovering Ayurveda’– dedicated to learning how modern-day practitioners perceive Ayurveda.
Our blog series titled Amrutam Nari was initiated as a humble effort to celebrate the wonderful women who are performing phenomenally in their respective fields.
We also regularly post interesting and informative articles on the various types of ingredients we use in our products along with their benefits and usage.
