Ancient Vedic healing knowledge decoded. Ambrosia, Amrita, and Soma were regarded in earlier high cultures as the "elixir of immortality." While the first two were reserved for celestial beings, Soma was intended for humanity. It was attributed with health-promoting, life-extending, and thought-clearing effects. The recipe for the Soma drink was encoded in ancient Indian scriptures. Even today, there is speculation about the choice of fruits and herbs used in its preparation. However, one thing is certain: it was a fermented beverage rich in enzymes. Kombucha, ancient kefir, kvass, and mead are descendants of the wondrous Soma drink from the Himalayas. Read in this highly interesting book how a physicist has decoded the primal secret of fermented beverages, combining ancient Ayurvedic knowledge with modern research.
