Aubrey Bamdad - Ayurveda with Amazonian Plant Medicine.
Aubrey combines her knowledge of Ayurveda with her studies in Amazonian plant medicine. She bridges these two indigenous systems of healing to create a true amalgam of body/mind/spirit medicine, an original method designed to address all aspects of our being. She calls this method, Manipura Indigenous Medicine. Aubrey offers consultations and coaching in Ayurvedic dietary therapy and lifestyle counseling, supported by herbal recommendations using products she creates from organic, wildcrafted herbs that are native to the Indian subcontinent and the Peruvian Amazon. She has worked with medicinal plants for many years, and produces traditional Amazonian plant remedies and hybrid Ayurvedic/Amazonian preparations through her grassroots company, QORI INTI Amazonian Herbals. She apprenticed and spent four years with a traditional shaman ayahuasquero in the Peruvian rainforest. Together, they brought shamanism, Amazonian plant medicine, and the esoteric ways of the jungle to three continents. Excerpts from her journey were published in Shaman's Drum.

Aubrey has studied extensively in New Mexico and India with renowned physician and professor of Ayurveda, Dr. Vasant Lad, and has spent comprehensive time in the embrace and service of international spiritual leader, Amma. She is a certified Ayurvedic practitioner and nutritionist, Pancha Karma technician, certified Crystal therapist, and a Reiki practitioner. She holds a Bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University and is currently working towards a Master’s in Ayurvedic Sciences from Hindu University. She received her training and certification in Pancha Karma therapy in Pune, India, where she worked in various clinics alongside world-class Ayurvedic physicians.
