Everyone at Rasa Ayurveda respects, and may be affiliated with, various religions. At Rasa Ayurveda we feel that the true philosophical value of Ayurveda comes not so much from its Hindu origins, but from Ayurveda’s emphasis on understanding the relationship with one’s own true nature, and with Mother Nature. This orientation is useful and healing regardless of one’s religion.
