The People Who Raised Me in Ayurveda!

Some people grow up with fairy tales. I grew up with formulas whispered in the kitchen, jars of oils warming on windowsills, and bedtime stories about herbs that heal.

I didn’t learn Ayurveda from textbooks alone.I lived it, breathed it, inherited it.

My first teacher was my grandmother ; a quiet force with a deep reverence for nature. She would grind herbs by hand, explaining their qualities with the same softness she used to soothe fevers and calm rashes. She didn’t have formal letters after her name, but she carried generations of wisdom in her fingers.

Then there was my father, whose clinical sharpness was balanced by the tenderness he showed each patient. I remember how seriously he took every pulse, every symptom. How he believed healing was not just in the body ;but in how you made someone feel seen.

My father-in-law added another layer ; analytical, disciplined, yet deeply spiritual. He showed me that Ayurveda wasn’t just for treating illness ;it was a framework for life. A daily rhythm. A way of being that connects you to the seasons, to your food, to your breath.

And then, my husband.A partner in every sense ;a believer in this path, a fellow practitioner, and someone who reminds me every day that this is sacred work. We share not just a home, but a vision;that Ayurveda, when practiced with integrity, can transform lives.

Together, they shaped me.Their knowledge, their discipline, their compassion ; it flows through every product I make, every client I serve, every story I tell under the Ayur Botanics name.

When I stir a formulation, I think of my grandmother’s hands.When I diagnose skin concerns, I hear my father’s questions.When I choose ingredients, I lean on my father-in-law’s discernment.When I feel tired, I look at my husband ; and I remember why I started.

Ayur Botanics may have my name on it ; but it carries their soul.And through every balm, every oil, every ritual ; I carry them forward.

With love,

The Founder
