Dosha: PITTA / KAPHA
Pratima
"Ayurveda has been my way of life since I was a small child. Growing up, my family practiced Ayurveda and I continued to do so with my own children and grandchildren. It has been my passion for over 50 years to share this wisdom of lasting health, wellness, balance and beauty."

Rosemarie
"When I discovered Ayurveda, it was like finding 'the one'. It's my go-to guide for almost everything I do in my daily rituals: from choosing warm nourishing foods to balance my Vata digestion, to my daily self massage with herbal oils, and opting for grounding exercises like pilates, yoga, meditation, pranayama and laughter. I even incorporate Ayurvedic care to my kitties!"

"The exact origin of this quote is unknown, but it has been an important mantra for me for some time now: growing old is a privilege denied to many. This sentiment transforms how I value and nurture myself as I age and directly translates into skincare and wellness rituals of devotion and gratitude."

Sara
"Cooking a delicious meal for my family and friends is one of my favorite activities. Knowing my skin is a reflection of what I eat, I try to get creative with balancing foods and spices in each dish that make my tummy, and my skin, feel great!"

Vasiana
"To keep my doshas in balance I like to do different breathing exercises. Alternate nostril breathing in the fall to balance my Vata, Kapalbhati in the winter to stimulate my Kapha, and Shitali breath in the summer to calm and cool my Pitta."

Caitlin
"Reading Dr. Pratima Raichur's 'Absolute Beauty' has encouraged me to practice mindfulness in every aspect in my life, from the food I eat, to the products I put onto my skin, to the thoughts I 'digest' throughout my day. Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all, but it is for everyone!"

Michelle
"At the start and end of each day, I set five minutes aside to close my eyes and create a picture frame. I fill the frame with things I am grateful for, things I strive for, and actively remove anything that is not serving me positively. Ayurveda teaches that everything starts in the mind and it is important to pay attention to the energy our thoughts create. These simple daily check ins help me to be more mindful and stay tuned in!"

"Mindfulness and Aromatherapy are aspects of Ayurveda I love the most. Taking a second to breathe and ground myself using all five senses and with some help of Absolute Beauty as well as our wonderful products is what keeps me happy. I love that Ayurveda can be enjoyed by people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. What I've learned about practicing Ayurveda is that no one is perfect and it's important to start small to incorporate new rituals into your routine!"
