The Ritual

What is Nidravati Vidhana?

An evening ritual for the hour before rest. Whole botanicals and a little essential oil in a close-woven pod, lowered into 350 to 400 ml of hot water and breathed as vapour.

Not a medicine, a beverage, a supplement or a sleep aid.

Does the pod dissolve?

No. Lift it out and discard it — after the ritual where a bowl has been used, or at the end of the day where it has stayed in the kettle.

How often may the ritual be kept?

As often in a day as the day asks for it.

In a bowl, one pod per ritual, discarded with the water afterwards. In a kettle the pod stays where it is and the water may be reheated with it for a second or third sitting through the same day.

Discard the pod and the water at the end of that day. Do not carry one into the next, and do not leave a pod standing in water overnight.

How long does one box last?

Seven pods, seven evenings. In a kettle a single pod may carry more than one sitting within its day. The box is kept; only refills are reordered.

Preparation

How is the ritual prepared?

Two methods, same timing, and the same 350 to 400 ml of water to a pod.

Bowl or wide cup. Hot, not boiling, water in a stable bowl, one pod in. Lean in from a safe distance and breathe softly for seven to ten minutes.

Kettle. One pod in, heat to about 80°C without boiling. Open the lid carefully, lean in from a safe distance and breathe softly for seven to ten minutes.

The pod stays in the kettle between sittings, and the water may be reheated with it later the same day.

How should the box be stored?

Closed, upright, away from sunlight, heat and damp. A pod kept badly will smell of less. Every box carries the guide.

Safety and Care

Is any part of this ingested?

No. Inhalation of vapour only. The pod, its contents and the water are never to be swallowed, brewed or cooked with.

Discard the water when the ritual, or the day, is done.

Is it applied to the skin?

No. If it touches the skin, rinse with cool water.

Who should not use it?

Not in pregnancy or breastfeeding without speaking to your doctor. Not on children; keep the box out of reach.

Anyone with asthma, chronic respiratory illness, fragrance-triggered migraine or a known sensitivity should speak to a doctor first. Anyone under medical care for a sleep condition should continue it.

What about the hot water?

The just-boiled water is the principal hazard. Stable, heat-resistant surface, away from edges, children and animals; do not move it once filled.

Lean in from a safe distance to breathe the vapour, never directly above it, and never with the head tented above it. The vapour should feel comfortably warm, never hot. Keep the eyes closed.

Are there side effects?

Responses to aromatics differ. On any irritation, headache, dizziness or skin reaction, stop, move to fresh air, and see a doctor if it persists.

Composition

What is in the composition?

Tulsi, Rose, Lavender buds and Chamomile, whole and dried, with the essential oils of Frankincense, Lavender and Sweet Orange.

Each ingredient is tested on its own before it enters the blend.

Frankincense as oil, not resin. No synthetic fragrance, colourant, preservative or propellant.

The full composition is printed on the box and set out in the Botanical Library.

Where do the botanicals come from?

Established Indian suppliers and the House’s Indian production network. Each intake arrives with documentation and is checked against specification.

Each batch carries a number printed on the box.

Is the textile safe?

Verified azo-free, chosen to hold botanicals in just-boiled water without shedding fibre or releasing dye.

How is the product classified?

An external-use aromatherapy preparation, not a food, beverage, nutraceutical or supplement.

Not an article of food, so outside the FSSAI licensing remit.

Does the product carry an AYUSH licence?

No, and it does not require one. An AYUSH licence attaches to a product marketed as an ayurvedic, siddha or unani medicine. ZANAR makes no such claim.

It is nonetheless made in a facility holding an AYUSH manufacturing licence, to that facility’s hygiene, documentation and batch-control standards.

Why does ZANAR make no therapeutic claims?

Because it would be untrue, and unlawful. Under Indian law a product claiming to cure, treat or prevent a condition is regulated as a medicine. ZANAR claims no medical outcome of any kind.

What can honestly be said of a warm, quiet ritual is that it is a deliberate way to close the day.
