HIMALAYAN AYURVEDA HERBS USED IN HAVANA, PUJA, RITUALS, GAMSHALI UTTARAKHAND VLOG 4K

In my quest to document traditional healers and herbal medicine, I visited Gamshali village. There I came across a village priest who informed about the use of some peculiar herbs in Nanda Devi Havan, which differs from traditional ones documented. It intrigued me to know more about them. Though most of them are Ayurveda medicine, it was interesting to know that, in spite of their traditional and historical use in rituals, the priest was unaware of their medicinal uses. As a routine, I had informed them about some safe medicinal uses in a bid to promote, Information exchange of traditional knowledge & to preserve biodiversity by encouraging sustainable picking. A small overview.

UNSEEN HIMALAYAS, GAMSHALI, MIGRATORY VILLAGE A HIDDEN GEM IN GARHWAL 4k

I had a pleasure to stay at Gamshali village, the penultimate on the Indo-Tibetian border in Garhwal Himalayas 6km from Niti Village. Village is migratory but is sustainable. Ecotourism is slowly being promoted. Lying in offbeat Niti valley, it's unknown to many as tourist mostly go on opposite end at Badrinath and Mana. People are amazing, hospitable and one can experience pure environment with unspoilt canvas. A short documentary.
