WELCOME TO
THE AYURVEDA ALCHEMIST
“Using herbs to treat the underlying state, or foundation, of the body is the traditional approach of using herbs”
Vaidya Atreya Smith
As Ayurvedic practitioners, we use herbs in formulation to feed the body as part of the internal healing process. The traditional methods taught by the ancients of combing the whole or parts of plants forms a balanced formula which increases the potency but also safer to administer.
QUALITY ASSURED ALCHEMY FOR PRACTITIONERS AND CONSULTANTS
Providing guidance to fellow practitioners in the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia which contains hundreds of listings, uses and preparations. Following the principles of Ayurveda, each formula is blended and crafted by hand, giving the best in aromatic freshness to each and every batch. There is nothing better than using whole herbs, whole fruits, roots, barks, dried leaves to creating a supplemented food formula. This ensures the complexity of flavours to be released and natural oils in the six tastes or Rasas in Sanskrit: sweet (madhura), sour (amla), salty (lavana), pungent (katu), bitter (tikka) and astringent (kashaya). The qualities and energy of herbs according to Ayurveda determines the 20 attributes (vimshati guna) for example hot, cold, wet, dry, heavy or light.
Based in North Yorkshire, using only certified UK suppliers of high grade Ayurvedic herbs which are legally imported and not bringing in herbs which are on the endangered listed. I pride myself in the alchemy of focusing good health, energy and rejuvenation into each and every formulation.

TRADITIONAL HERBAL FORMULATIONS
JUST A LITTLE INFO ABOUT ME
I am a purveyor of Ayurvedic herbal formulations, Master Blender and an Ayurvedic Practitioner. I can’t remember my life without herbs. My earliest memories of being guided by the gentle hands of my grandmother and mother. The traditions and knowledge being passed down through to me. My fondest memory of standing on a stool, in my mothers kitchen, both hands holding tightly the handle of a manual spice mill, turning with all my strength whilst my mother fed whole roasted spices into the hopper. It felt like an endless task but I was fascinated to watch the powdered results that came through. Little did I know that these were the foundations to Ayurvedic learning. I have been cooking since the age of seven and throughout the years have always blended herbs in the traditional way.
I began my own spice company in 2009, researching and blending traditional spice blends from the Indian sub-continent to Northern Africa and then across to South America. Writing recipes and producing home kits for people to make authentic healthy dishes at home.
In the years that followed I turned to my Ayurvedic roots to qualify in the UK 2020 as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. I see this as a life time of continuous study of ancient and western herbs to specialise in the art herbal formulations to aid in prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
My “dharma” purpose and calling, to share and bring my knowledge inherited of blending and combining herbs in both cooking methods and for medicinal purposes. So I say “it’s never too late” to discover your “dharma”.
