She has worked with and learnt about Ayurveda and applied it to the many western native herbs that we see around us today. Ayurveda is a complete way of life with a holistic approach viewing ailments to be caused by the imbalance of a person's physical or mental constitution. Therefore Ayurveda gently aims to discover the root cause of the ailment.
