A house of Ayurveda, in America since 1985.

We began in Fairfield, Iowa, in 1985, bringing traditional Ayurvedic formulas to American homes. Our formulas are made in India by Maharishi Ayurveda Products, the family-led company Anand Shrivastava founded in 1986. His son, Ram Shrivastava, leads our US company today.

Where a recipe asks for months, we give it months, and we test what we make before it reaches you. You do not need to practice meditation to use our formulas; you only need to want them made properly.

The formulas people come back for.
