Our Story
Our story begins in the breathtaking valley of Kashmir, where generations of families have relied on the natural world for health and healing. The name "Zuva," meaning "life" in the Kashmiri language, reflects this deep connection to nature and vitality. Growing up in this culturally rich environment, our founder, a cardiologist with training from Cleveland Clinic and 40+ years in practice, was surrounded by the wisdom of elders who used remedies from fruits, vegetables, and spices to treat common ailments. Cuts were soothed with honey and turmeric, and earaches were calmed with garlic-infused oil—simple treatments that sparked a lifelong journey.
As a child, the founder dismissed these remedies in favor of "real" medicine. But years later, he recognized that some of the world’s most powerful medicines originate from plants.
This realization reshaped his view of natural remedies and sparked a commitment to creating safe, effective health products that harness the power of nature.
Zuva follows the tradition of medicines that rely on the power of plants in their formulation for ultimate efficacy
Aspirin
Arguably the most common medicine in the world, comes from the Willow Bark Tree
Opium
(later refined to morphine) and Codeine originate from the Poppy plant
Digoxin
Once the most popular heart medication, comes from the Foxglove plant
Amiodarone
One of the most potent cardiac anti-arrhythmic drugs, is derived from the Khella plant
Penicillin
And all of its modern derivatives originated from a fungus
Metformin
The most popular medication for Type 2 diabetes, is derived from the French Lilac plant
From Our Founder
Our Physician’s Journey
"After years of working as a physician, I began to see how conventional and plant-based medicines could complement each other, providing better outcomes for my patients. I realized that many of the most effective treatments in modern medicine are rooted in the natural world—aspirin from willow bark, digoxin from foxglove, and even life-saving antibiotics like penicillin come from plants and fungi. These discoveries led me to take a closer look at plants as sources of healing for everyday health challenges.
Now, I often recommend natural remedies to my patients for common ailments before jumping to medications. For digestive health, I suggest Trifala; for coughs, I blend honey, turmeric, and cinnamon. These types of natural options work well and, importantly, avoid many of the side effects that synthetic treatments can bring. This blend of modern science and natural healing is at the heart of ZUVA.
With ZUVA, my goal is to provide the same level of care and quality that I've shown my patients throughout my career, helping you experience a healthier, more energized life."
