Ayurveda / Holistic Skin & Beauty

I am a believer in getting to the bottom of things, and in that case why I turned to Ayurveda after other natural and allopathic modalities falling short in hitting the nail for my problems and also my patients.

Learn a little more about me...

Please share your “why” for why you decided to pursue your healing practice.

After spending time researching and being a customer of various modern and natural modalities, I realized Ayurveda has the most complete holistic health system in prevention and treatment. I seeked for the truth in root causes of my concerns around digestion, PMS and acne to find Ayurveda nailed, while other modalities certainly helped, it is Ayurveda that equipped me with education for continuing care, because treatment doesn't stop at the consultation. Prevention is cheaper and more powerful than treating deep problems!

Please share your number 1 go-to practice for self-care.

Lymphatic massage (abhyanga) is my reset game changer – it’s not just a muscle relaxer but also my nervous system, toxins releaser and most importantly psychological relaxer (I'm knocked out rest of the day). We lead busy lives and we forget the power in rest and effects on our system. Lack of rest leads adrenal fatigue (leads to emotional turbulence) and mental health issues that affects all our decision making - doesn't sound like much but it’s actually a starter to a catalyst of problems and always a prescribed therapy in Ayurveda for all problems because it’s one of the most powerful Vata reducers (and Vata governs our entire body).

Please share your best piece of personal advice.

Your body is either in a sinking (catabolic) or swimming (anabolic) state - nothing great comes from drowning!
