Unfortunately, at this time in the United States, Ayurveda is not considered mainstream or allopathic medicine, but alternative medicine. Therefore, insurance does not cover Ayurveda costs at this time.
Our Director, Dr. Jayarajan, is on the Board of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) – an organization devoted to preserving, protecting and promoting Ayurveda in the U.S. NAMA is currently working towards establishing licensure for Ayurvedic medicine so that insurance can accept Ayurveda costs for health seekers.

Please note that we do not treat disease in Ayurveda and cannot guarantee a cure. Ayurveda is based on the principles of maintaining harmony in the mind-body system, preserving health and preventing disease, first and foremost. When there is imbalance, it is the objective in Ayurveda to restore harmony to the mind and body.
It is due to the emphasis on balance, prevention and natural healing methods that Ayurveda can be a powerful, longterm solution to the common health needs of today.
Ayurveda provides common sense lifestyle solutions based on natural cycles and rhythms. By viewing individuals through the lens of Ayurvedic Mind-Body Constitution, these lifestyle solutions are completely customized. This empowers the individual to take control of his or her health. When an individual embraces the wisdom of Ayurveda and implements its tools, profound potential for healing is possible.
