Royal elixir
The Royal balsamic elixir is prepared in accordance with medieval Armenian traditional and encrypted medical recipes and special distillation technology. In the Middle Ages this elixir was used by kings and was proved to give them youthfulness and zest.
As a result of long studies and researches, the elixir’s recipe was discovered and decoded by Deacon Armen Sahakyan, PH.D., phyto-therapist and senior researcher at the Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, the Matenadaran of Yerevan, Armenia.
In the past it was prepared and kept in monasteries, with special rites accompanied by prayers. Currently the elixir is prepared at the Matenadaran and preserved in oak barrels. According to ancient traditions barrels are then transported to the “Hermit Caves” in the region of Vayots Dzor where monks realize Church rites, accompanying them with healing prayers and sacred chants.
The ceremony of collecting and harvesting of the rare mountainous herbs takes place according to the way described in manuscripts, on specific lunar days, which fortifies the elixir’s strength, aroma and flavor.
