About

It was only natural therefore, that like all girls my age and my background, I grew up listening to my Patti (grandmother), my Mum, my Perima (mum’s elder sister) and my Amma (my mother-in-law) talk about a holistic care of oneself. I was taught the importance of keeping the mind challenged, spirituality alive and last but not the least keep the body healthy internally and externally.

When I got married, moved continents and started a family I became time poor. But that didn’t stop me. I continued most practices with my children giving them massages everyday with natural sesame oil and bathing them with milk and honey. I started to play around with local produce to stay as close to nature as possible.

Challenges of course being the practices were

• time consuming
• it didn’t always smell “pleasant”
• being natural, they didn’t have a shelf life.

So, drawing from the wisdom of ancient Indian medicine – Ayurveda and introducing an element of aesthetics, practicality and longevity the concept of AyurDeva was born. With every product having a unique formula, our intention is to provide purity, harmony, serenity, comfort, calmness, bliss, rejuvenation and revitalization. The slight alliteration denotes subtle changes to Ayurvedic recipes that change the look and feel dramatically while keeping the basic tenets of Ayurveda intact!!

No surprise then that at AyurDeva… Beauty IS skin deep!
