This Sunday, June 23, Dr Ravi Mohan will be in our store presenting a live demo of his Cold Pressed shots, and discussing the issues of anti-inflammation for wellness, chronic illness, and for high-performance athletes. According to Dr. Mohan, a daily shot of these powerful elixirs is, well, just what the doctor ordered.
One morning in 2016, Ravi, a Toronto Physician and assistant professor at the University of Toronto woke up with chest pains. After an ultrasound and MRI he was ultimately diagnosed with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, a condition that reduced his heart’s function to 50% and showed that half of his heart had been replaced by scar tissue. At this point he began a regimen of daily cold-pressed ginger, turmeric and wheatgrass shots.
A month and a half later a subsequent ultrasound showed that Dr Mohan’s heart and function had improved to 60%, an improvement that Mohan in part attributes to his daily regimen of cold-pressed shots. This inspired Mohan to start his own company, Root Rescue Wellness , producing cold-pressed shots designed to keep chronic inflammation in check.
“What I am proposing…. is to develop a practical, achievable, strategy to deal with both the known and unknown elements related to chronic low- grade inflammation. Essentially a daily dose of anti-inflammatory nutrition to keep chronic low- grade inflammation under control. To do this, using a patent pending Cold Pressed Cryopreservation Process , we have created a family of non medicinal anti- inflammatory cocktails engineered for potent anti-inflammatory effects. Our Cold Pressed Smoothie and Tea Shots are raw , organic, cold-pressed shots with minimal nutrient manipulation, no fillers and meant for daily uses. They are not meant for a reboot, cleanse or detox. The core ingredients in every shot is the well established anti-inflammatory superfood, Turmeric.”- Dr. Ravi Mohan
Harmony
The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, widely acknowledged as having powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents.
“…there are almost 9000 publications on curcumin, and 100 different clinical trials have been completed with curcumin, which clearly show its safety, tolerability and its effectiveness against various chronic diseases in humans. Numerous studies have indicated that curcumin is a highly potent antimicrobial agent and has been shown to be active against various chronic diseases including various types of cancers, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and autoimmune diseases.”-Dr. Ravi Mohan
Elite Beet
Root Rescue Wellness uses a patented cold-pressed cryopreservation process that maximizes nutrient retention and results in non-medicinal anti-inflammatory cocktails that taste great as a shot, or tea, or blended into smoothies. The Elite Beet, for example, is a 40 ml shot combining the superfood qualities of organic beets with the powerful triumvirate of turmeric, wheatgrass and ginger. All ingredients are sourced in our own province and are processed in London Ontario as well, and the cryopackaging allows you to make teas and lattes straight from your freezer with the added benefit of zero waste and compostable packaging.
Elite Beet latte
Whether or not you want to enjoy your shot as is, or wish to make it into a hot tea or blitz it into your next smoothie is up to you. Why not come in on Sunday and chat with Ravi yourself?
