Short Bio: Bikalp Herbals focuses on Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of sustainable health care and understands the importance of maintaining good health to lead a fulfilling life. He emphasized the significance of proper sleep and nutrition in promoting overall well-being. By focusing on getting enough rest and consuming a balanced diet, individuals can improve their physical fitness, become more mentally alert, and achieve emotional balance. Gandhiji believed that a healthy body is essential for achieving greatness in all aspects of life, including professional success. By following his teachings on healthcare, individuals can enhance their productivity, creativity, and resilience in the workplace. Prioritizing sleep and food as part of a holistic approach to wellness can lead to improved performance and overall satisfaction in one’s professional endeavors. Regular Exercise, Yoga, and meditation can give added sustainable benefits.
Activity: The problem that needs serious attention is: Nowadays, many of us lead sedentary lives, spending long hours sitting at desks or in front of screens, lack of physical activity can lead to a range of health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders.
In addition to physical inactivity, poor dietary habits also contribute to lifestyle-induced disorders. Consuming excessive amounts of processed foods, high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, can lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Another factor to consider is the impact of stress on our health. High levels of stress, often caused by work pressure or personal issues, can lead to mental health disorders such as tension, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It is important to find healthy ways to manage stress, such as engaging in regular exercise, practicing yoga and meditation, or seeking professional help when needed.
Sleep deprivation is another lifestyle factor that can have a detrimental effect on our health. Lack of quality sleep can lead to a weakened immune system, increased risk of chronic diseases, and impaired cognitive function. It is crucial to prioritize sleep and establish a regular sleep routine.
Lastly, the excessive use of electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets, can lead to digital addiction and negatively impact our mental and physical health. Finding a balance and limiting screen time is essential to protect our well-being.
The solution to the above lies in the vision of our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi. His vision states that –“India does not need imported drugs from the West when she has an inexhaustible stock of a variety of medicinal herbs grown in the villages themselves. But more than drugs they have to teach the people the right mode of living.”
Based on his long-term vision to develop a sustainable healthcare system in India, he suggested that they (scientists & doctors) should turn their attention towards the seven lakhs of the villages of India, not after the manner of the West, but after the manner of the East. They will then adapt themselves to many indigenous systems.
Taking a lead from Gandiji’s vision and suggestion, Bikalp Herbals Private Limited began its journey. It is a startup founded in Lucknow, driven by the vision of presenting traditional knowledge of kadha (concoction) in a modern and innovative way. The company’s focus was on utilizing Rasayana herbs mentioned in ancient ayurvedic literature, which offered complex therapeutic mechanisms and multiple benefits to the human body. These herbal infusions (concoction) which are synergetic blend of herbs were specifically designed to address the stress-induced syndrome caused by the demanding 24×7 lifestyle, irregular eating habits, lack of sleep, and sedentary work. What set Bikalp Herbals apart was their commitment to avoiding the use of chemicals and preservatives, ensuring a delightful aroma and taste, and providing the convenience of a quick preparation time (2-3 minutes), making it ideal for business travelers, office goers, work from home, meetings etc.
We interact with peoples to create awareness about the disorders induced by lack of sleep and their prevention through exhibitions, lectures, discussions etc.
