In our modern world where we are inundated by stress, high-demands, pollution, and adulterated views of reality, it is crucial that the modern woman regains her Shakti and balance, by aligning her mind-body-spirit with the rhythms of Nature. Ayurveda describes in great detail the three Doshas, which correspond to the three stages of life: Childhood to the Age of Kapha; Womanhood to the Age of Pitta; and Old Age to the Age of Vata. Each Age or phase in a woman’s life serves a distinct purpose in her physical, mental, and spiritual evolution. From delayed menses to menopause, and fibroids to pregnancy, Ayurveda can help women regain balance.

Ayurveda places great importance on preserving the natural health and balance of women. Women are the embodiments of the Creative Cosmic Energy, and it is through her womb, that life is born. Hence, the future generation of humankind depends on the health and happiness of their women. Women are naturally attuned to the rhythms of Nature as their monthly menstrual cycles wax and wane harmoniously with the lunar cycles.  Unfortunately, modern women have grown distant from their innate relationship with Nature and thus suffer from many imbalances and maladies that can easily be remedied through the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda.

Women are total representations of Mother Nature, and therefore it is important that we reconnect to our natural power of self-healing and creativity. Dr. Sheetal is passionate about helping women understand the importance of rebuilding their relationship with Nature in order to find true happiness, health, healing and harmony. Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle and herb counseling can help a woman re-connect to Nature's rhythm and re-discover her inherent connection with the Cosmic flow.

My awakening to the deep mystical tradition of yoga led me to the study of Ayurveda. I was a collegiate athlete at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and my passion to excel led me to pursue degrees in the field of Kinesiology. I was fascinated with how the body functioned and the intricacies of energy metabolism.

I made sure I consumed the daily recommendations of protein, fiber, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins. Although, I was consuming the daily requirements, my body was not properly digesting everything I consumed. I looked at the quantitative values of nutrients as opposed to the quality of foods I consumed. After practicing and teaching yoga, I began to look at the quality of food, but failed to look at my digestive capability.

Upon discovering Ayurveda, I learned that if food is not digested, it cannot be properly absorbed into the body to nourish and replenish, no matter how healthy the food. Ayurveda taught me that if my Agni (the digestive fire) is weak, I would not be fully benefiting from the “healthy” food I consumed.

If digestion is weak, one cannot properly metabolize food and use the energy one has consumed. Rather, the undigested food (AMA) has a toxic effect on the body. Every season also has certain diet and lifestyle guidelines that help the body and mind exist in harmony with Nature.

Once I learned that Indian culinary herbs and spices serve to enhance digestive processes, and therefore assist the body’s metabolism, I was awakened to a new way of living. Spices and herbs also help our body to naturally detoxify and remain balanced. Had Ayurveda not worked for so many, it would not be in existence, nor would it be thriving for over 5,000 years to date.

My mother and grandmother, like many Indian mothers, have unknowingly kept the Ayurvedic tradition of cooking and healing alive because the rich science of Ayurveda interwove with the culture and tradition of India thousands of years ago. I am re-discovering this ancient science of life and I am loving every moment!

Philanthropy and Service with Ayurvedic Healing Therapy

Ayurvedic Healing Therapy is committed to serving humanity. Seva is the Sanskrit word meaning “selfless service.” Selfless service is an important principle in both Ayurveda and Yoga.  Because God is perceived as existing in all, serving another is like serving God, and an extended part of oneself.

Gandhi said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Gandhi’s words deeply impacted me throughout my travels serving in rural villages in India and Africa and also serving our homeless brothers and sisters in my hometown of Los Angeles on Skid row.

The ultimate goal in life is to realize that all existence is intricately connected and one.

Service helps us understand this profound concept and tangibly experience that feeding a hungry being, is essentially feeding oneself. Compassion can save the world. We volunteer educational services and tools to uplift unprivileged communities and youth programs.

10% of all proceeds are donated to non-profits, such as organizations serving impoverished rural communities in India.
