Rooted Rasa

AYURVEDA FOUND ME THROUGH my father, Arun Deva, who is an Ayurvedic practitioner and my main teacher. However, I spent most of my young life not aware of the practices of Ayurveda because as a first-generation American, with divorced parents, my main intention was to fit in. Fitting in meant eating poorly, running on stress, and not sleeping or exercising regularly. Many years of this lifestyle left me with significant anxiety, digestive issues, and eczema. There was something deep within me that kept suggesting they were interrelated, but no doctor could tell me how or why.
