Description

Willing to touch the traditional roots and live a healthy life?

         Restoring tradition is the passion of many.  How all can we do it – through many ways like preservation of things such as antiques, restoring heritage structures, bringing back traditional and conventional food & medicines etc.  With a little effort we can pass this on to the next generation and they will carry further.  Other things like structural restoration, keeping safe the antiques etc. requires a little extra effort and also specialization.  But some things can easily be done and one is food and medicines.  Why should we ever allow the eye-catching junk and fast food to rob our hearts when we have so much to discover in our tradition itself?

         But, please understand that no one must be blamed on this respect.  Traditional foods are still cooked in many homes but the medicinal part that needs to be linked with food is at times missing.  Only taste plays a major role.  But even when taste is given importance, due to time constraint, we fail to take effort to make certain things.  Even if we can’t make we can buy it, right?

         Then the next thought, where to go and buy such things?  Who will roam around the streets to find out traditional things and who would spend time on all that?  This is where technology helps.  You can very well order online from Sitara for whatever traditional products you need in order to keep your health intact.  We at Sitara are here to help you out to touch your roots and live as healthy as your 90 year old grandfather did.  Here we wish to introduce to those who are new about the sarsaparilla or dried nannari roots which are body cooling aromatic herbs.
