Welcome  ♡
 
​Shakti Botanica  was created to offer a beautiful assortment of Ayurvedic healing tools for your wellbeing and for continuing the tradition of sharing Ayurvedic knowledge. We focus on the power of aromatics and flower essences  to help us heal the whole self..mind body and spirit. Ayurveda emphasizes simple tools for fast and effective healing support. 

Shakti is one of the earliest terms applied to the divine feminine.  Shakti  represents the fundamental creative instinct underlying the cosmos and  the energizing force of all divinity, of every being and every thing.   She is the mother of creation &  creativity. We seek to celebrate Shakti  through this site. Jai Ma! 

About Ayurveda

Ayurveda  is a fully holistic system of healing  that  originates in India and   dates back over five thousand years. It  integrates lifestyle practices,  nutrition, yoga, pranayama, botanical medicine, gentle cleansing methods and many other physical and spiritual tools to support an individual's total wellness. The Sanskrit word Ayur-veda translates as the “Science of Life”  and is based on  the 5 elements of the cosmos.   Using a system of doshas helps to bring the 5 elements into a contextual working language so you will know which tools to access for your unique being and constitution. What is unique about Ayurveda is that the  multi folded healing  tools can be very simple yet their healing effects can be wonderfully profound. . Ayurvedic practices have a natural and  deeply aesthetic expression through their ease of use and immediate positive effects.  Thus practicing Ayurveda can be blissful and enjoyable.  To learn more about Ayurveda   please visit ayurveda.com  which is the website for the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
