Our Inspiration and Mission
Kashi Ayurveda is inspired by the city of Varanasi in India. Legend has it that Lord Dhanvantari, the god of healing made an appearance in Kashi. We, at Kashi Ayurveda believe that passion inspires service.
We intend to help people achieve optimal health through Ayurveda. Our mission is to heal people in a holistic way that considers life as a union of mind, body, spirit, sense organs, your consciousness and your awareness. Ayurveda can treat many ailments because it has a holistic approach.
