Originating from the two Sanskrit words, ayur (life) and veda (science), Ayurveda is an ancient healing system originating in the Indian subcontinent that relies on herbs for maintaining good health.

Research lies at the heart of everything we do. Himalaya has invested in a state-of-the-art Research & Development center in India. We have studied over 10,000 herbs and discovered many new properties.

A team of botanists and Ayurveda experts at our R&D center review scholarly texts and shortlist suitable herbs for further research. Himalaya's phytochemistry team studies the geographical and seasonal variations of the marker profiles of these herbs.
