Its World Forest day! Does it matter? Yes, it does! Is it important? Very! Well, I’ll tell you why. Every one of us are from the forests. Every being is from the forest. Its humans who demolished the forests for greed, constructed buildings, emitted pollution and call our species ‘Civilised’. We just blindly forget that forests are the lungs of the planet. They provide us with food resources and other necessities for our living. We need to learn to live with gratitude. With that said, I am going to introduce you to Dahamukthi— the herbal thirst quencher. It is made of a composition of few ayurvedic herbs. Many might not be familiar with this and one can find in any country medicine shop or health food stores.
