Traditional Ayurvedic Herbalism

Herbal Recommendations

── ❖ ──

Traditional Ayurvedic formulas selected according to your constitution, current imbalance, digestion, symptoms, tissues, and body systems.

As a Master Herbalist, Khabir personally selects herbal recommendations according to your constitution, current dosha imbalance, digestion, symptoms, tissues, body systems, and the specific way a health concern is presenting.

The primary focus is Khabir’s collection of more than 300 authentic Ayurvedic formulas that he makes or imports from India. Recommendations may include herbal powders, tablets, traditional compounds, herbal ghee, herbal oils, spices, teas, and other Ayurvedic preparations.

Traditional Knowledge and Practical Skill

A Higher Level of Herbalism

This is the advanced form of herbalism traditionally practiced by skilled Ayurvedic doctors and herbal pharmacists in India. It requires understanding the person’s constitution, dosha imbalance, tissues involved, digestive strength, symptoms, and the qualities of every herb—not simply matching one herb to the name of a condition.

Trained in Ayurvedic Herbal Formulation

Khabir holds the Ayurvedic Herbal Pharmacist (AHP) credential through the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America. His training includes two important branches of Ayurvedic herbalism:

The Qualities of Herbs

Dravyaguna

The Ayurvedic study of the qualities, energetics, actions, and appropriate uses of individual herbs.

The Science of Formulation

Bhaishajya Kalpana

The traditional art and science of preparing, balancing, combining, and using Ayurvedic herbal formulas.

A Coordinated Traditional Approach

How an Ayurvedic Formula Is Designed

Dosha Pattern
Balancing the person’s Vata, Pitta, Kapha, or combined pattern.
Tissues and Systems
Supporting the tissues, channels, organs, and body systems involved.
Specific Symptoms
Addressing the particular way the health concern is presenting.
Digestion and Elimination
Helping the formula digest, absorb, circulate, and eliminate properly.

This is why two people with the same condition may receive different formulas.

When an Existing Formula Is Not the Right Match

Khabir Can Create a Custom Formula

If Khabir does not already have a formula for a person’s specific variation of a condition, he simply designs a new one according to traditional Ayurvedic principles. This is the traditional way he learned herbalism and how he began working as an herbalist—selecting and combining individual herbs to fit the person rather than depending only on premade formulas.

Sourcing and Quality

Some traditional Ayurvedic ingredients and preparations are sourced directly from established suppliers in India. Others are made from individual ingredients selected by Khabir.

Certain Ayurvedic herbs and spices may also be obtained from qualified organic growers in the United States when dependable quality is available. The goal is always correct botanical identity, purity, freshness, and overall quality.
