My contact with Ayurveda dates back to around 2014 when, alongside raising two small children with my wife Viera, we were trying to find a way to maintain our health and use as many natural remedies and holistic principles as possible in our treatment.
We established a family company with an interest in alternative treatments. In 2014, we had the opportunity to meet an excellent expert in Ayurvedic medicine, Dr. Vikram Chauhan, and we never doubted for a moment that we had to bring his exceptional Ayurvedic medicine to us.
From the beginning, we have been in close contact with the best Ayurvedic experts directly from India.
In addition to distributing Ayurvedic herbal extracts in Slovakia and the EU, we, along with Dr. Chauhan, started bringing a form of Ayurvedic education to Slovakia, such as seminars for consultants, sellers, and both professional and lay audiences.
I didn't have the opportunity to study Ayurveda within an educational program; rather, I gradually encountered its principles through work, seminars, and consultations with patients as an "observer" of practical Ayurvedic medicine.
Thanks to the connection with doctors at Dr. Chauhan's clinic in India, I have a great opportunity to gain insight into the counseling process for people seeking help in Ayurveda through us.
