My name is Dr. Mohan Kumari, Doctor in Ayurveda, Sita and tribal medicine. Now mainly I'm focusing on plant research. Europa Ayurveda center is a traditional Ayurveda center located in the northeast of the Netherlands. The project, what we did with Wageningen was to do research to the metabolics in our herbs and to find out in which way the Vedic method was improving the bioactive components of the plant. And the second, we did a clinical trial with the herbal preparation, what we made from our herbs for diabetic mellitus type 2. What we aim with our center is that there is so much knowledge hidden in the medicinal herbal plants and especially the way it is used from the Ayurveda point of view, because they use different plants together in a mixture so that the bioactive componen can enhance each other or sometimes suppress each other. The fact that we started this traditional Ayurveda center is that we know that we can do it differently. And we do that. And we like to share with anybody being at a knowledge center or being in the company, we like to share our knowledge of traditional herbal plants, the secrets, what is hidden in it and what we like to share, but under the condition that you use it in the good way, in such a way that you share, not that you take it, but that you care. So in that way we like to work with you. And that is the aim and the goal of Europa Ayurveda center. To share and to care. Sam.
