A sacred plant honored through centuries of Ayurvedic wisdom, now revived for modern healing.
Cannabis Sativa Linn
Cannabis/Hemp, revered as Vijaya in ancient Indian tradition, has been consistently recognized across classical Ayurvedic literature — from the Atharvaveda to the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu — as a sacred and medicinal plant. It holds a deeply respected place in Ayurvedic healing systems, supporting digestive health, mental tranquility, and pain management, when administered scientifically, appropriately processed, and prescribed lawfully.
Cannabis-like substances were included among the Madakari Dravyas — potent healing agents capable of relieving pain, calming neurological disorders, and controlling digestive disturbances when carefully prepared and dosed.
The Atharvaveda referred to Bhang among the five sacred plants, describing it as a divine gift to mankind for relieving anxiety, promoting happiness, and restoring wellness.
While not mentioning Vijaya by name, it classified mind-calming, digestive-enhancing, appetite-stimulating plants within the larger pharmacological framework — properties consistent with the therapeutic attributes of Vijaya.
Offers a full medicinal monograph on Vijaya, describing it as Tikta (bitter) in taste, Ushna (hot) in potency, Ruksha (dry) in quality, and effective in stimulating digestion, enhancing appetite, absorbing moisture, relieving fevers and pain, and balancing Vata and Kapha doshas.
Further expanded Vijaya's usage into classical Ayurvedic formulations, particularly for managing stress disorders, chronic digestive complaints, neurological conditions, and rejuvenative therapies (Rasayana).
Throughout these traditions, Vijaya was never seen as a recreational or intoxicating substance but as a serious medicinal herb, a powerful therapeutic tool entrusted only to qualified vaidyas (Ayurvedic physicians), requiring precise handling, processing, and doctor-supervised administration.

Our work is a restoration of a profound healing tradition, rooted in Vedic science and evolved through centuries of clinical Ayurvedic practice.
