Hello and welcome.
I’m Nova, a BAMS-certified Ayurvedic practitioner living and practicing in Gujarat, India. This guide is my way of sharing the basics in a simple, honest way — so anyone, anywhere, can start exploring Ayurveda at their own pace.
If you’re new to Ayurveda and want clear, simple answers without confusion or heavy Sanskrit terms, this section is made for you.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of natural health and living that helps you understand your unique body type (dosha), eat in a way that suits you, create daily routines that feel good, and stay balanced through the seasons — all so you can feel more energized, calm, and healthy in everyday life.
Many people in the USA and around the world are turning to Ayurveda because it offers gentle, personalized tools for things like stress, sleep, digestion, skin, energy, and hormones — without always needing medication or extreme changes.
This guide is built like a step-by-step path:
