About us
OUR MISSION
Our mission at Maharishi Ayurveda is to serve your health needs with the best ayurvedic herbal products. Through powerful formulations and ancient lifestyle tips, our aim is to bring balance to your body and life. It is not disease that creates imbalance; rather, disease is a symptom of imbalance. When we bring our body into a state of equilibrium, its natural state, and maintain this state, the symptom is good health.
This is our goal: to help you achieve a state of balance resulting in naturally resilient and good health. Our knowledge is based on the world's oldest, holistic, Consciousness-based™ wellness system. It is sustainable, using whole plant parts, authentic ayurvedic ingredients, and meticulous manufacturing to craft ayurvedic formulations that deliver maximum effect for the mind, body, and emotions.
OUR PROMISE
At Maharishi AyurVeda, our herbals, natural skin care line, massage oils, aromatherapeutic blends, and teas are all created to do one thing: restore and maintain balance where imbalance exists. Our safety and purity come from decades of quality control—from plant to finished product. Our formulas come from master vaidyas, our herbs are sustainably grown and harvested, and we follow meticulous, traditional Ayurvedic methods. Our products are rigorously tested for safety. We NEVER sell wholesale or allow anyone to use our products for resale, or repurposing. Get your supplements straight from the source.

OUR FOUNDER
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
In 1959, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi embarked on a global quest to revive the practice of a simple meditation technique known as Transcendental Meditation®, with the goal of helping people achieve lives free of stress and infused with inner peace. Since then, millions of people, in over 50 countries, have learned Transcendental Meditation. The importance of turning inward and relieving stress is now widely accepted around the world due to Maharishi's efforts.
As part of his revival of this ancient wisdom, Maharishi introduced Ayurveda to the western world. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda literally translated means "the science of life." In honor of him, our company is named Maharishi Ayurveda. Maharishi means "great seer" in Sanskrit, and it is appropriate that the revival of this ancient knowledge is prefaced this way.
Maharishi was unyielding when it came to the authenticity of these ancient formulations and their purity. In the early days of Maharishi Ayurveda, Maharishi, surrounded by the greatest Ayurvedic experts in India, rejected formulas due to minor deviations from the ancient original texts or due to lack of purity in the formula. This is the foundation of Maharishi Ayurveda: Authentic, Pure, Effective and Safe.

Authenticity
All of our formulas are grounded in authentic Ayurveda. Ayurveda means "Science of Life" in Sanskrit. This is what Maharishi AyurVeda offers - a complete science of natural health addressing mind, body, emotions, and consciousness.
Balance
Our traditional formulas aim to bring mind-body balance through harmonizing the three doshas (mind-body energies): Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When the doshas are in equilibrium, good health, beauty, and emotional resilience exist in perfect balance.
Origin
Originating in India, Maharishi AyurVeda is the first and oldest Ayurveda products company in the United States. Our Ayurvedic formulations are based on written records dating back thousands of years. Our formulations are not new; they are ancient, time-tested and effective.
Purity
Our facilities in India employ 20 master Vaidyas (traditional Ayurveda experts), who have undergone years of training in the selection, preparation and formulation of herbs addressing balance and health. This knowledge has been maintained by passing it down in its purity from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Safety
Safety and purity come with decades of quality control, from plant to pill. Maharishi AyurVeda uses only ingredients and herbal products that meet our rigorous standards for safety. We follow the traditional methods of Ayurveda while employing the highest standards of quality control... Find out more.
Sustainability
We use herbs that are sustainably grown and harvested, and our products are manufactured in a meticulous process that is unrushed. We don't cut corners — some of our products require months to prepare. It's the only way to craft ayurvedic formulations that deliver maximum effect for the mind, body, and emotions.
Testing
To ensure purity, Maharishi Ayurveda products are tested before, during and after manufacture and then tested again by an accredited independent analytical laboratory (that meets ISO 17025:1999 standards), prior to distribution (MA/Veda herbs are tested once). Tests include heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological contamination. Our products exceed the World Health Organization’s provisional tolerable weekly lead intake level, and meet the stricter standards of the American Herbal Products Association. Find out more.
