An educational Ayurveda knowledge library.
DoshaWise gathers Ayurvedic knowledge — herbs, nutrition, daily routines, seasonal living and classical wellbeing practices — into one open, sourced library. Free to read, careful with its claims, honest about what it isn't.
Our mission
To become one of the UK's most comprehensive and trusted educational libraries of Ayurveda — organised, sourced, and written in plain English so anyone can learn.
We are building a Healthline-style resource focused entirely on Ayurveda: a growing library of topic hubs (doshas, nutrition, conditions, lifestyle, herbs A–Z), each article backed by classical texts and, where available, modern research. See our Editorial Policy for how content is researched, sourced and reviewed.
Founder & Editorial Lead
Founder & editorial lead
I was born in a traditional South Indian home where the kitchen was the first pharmacy — where food, sleep, breath and daily rhythm were treated as the first form of care, and herbs as gentle helpers. Years later, formal Ayurvedic study gave that upbringing a written vocabulary.
I founded DoshaWise to gather that knowledge into one open library, sourced from the classical texts (Charaka, Sushruta, Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdayam, Bhāvaprakāśa) and current peer-reviewed research — written in plain English, honest about what is traditional and what is clinically evidenced.
I review the articles for accuracy, tone and safety, and I write many of them myself. I am an Ayurveda Diet & Lifestyle Consultant — not a registered medical doctor. DoshaWise is an educational library, not a clinic: we do not offer consultations, diagnoses or prescriptions.
Editorial standards
Every article at DoshaWise cites its sources. We use two families of source material:
- Classical Ayurvedic texts — Charaka Samhitā, Sushruta Samhitā, Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdayam, Mādhava Nidāna, Śārṅgadhara Samhitā, Bhāvaprakāśa Nighaṇṭu, with chapter/verse citations where possible.
- Modern research — peer-reviewed studies indexed on PubMed / NCBI, the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, AYUSH Ministry publications, WHO traditional-medicine reports and Cochrane reviews.
We do not source from personal blogs, forums, social media or supplement-brand marketing. Where evidence is limited or traditional-only, we say so plainly. Full details in our Editorial Policy.
Common questions about the library.
What is DoshaWise?+
DoshaWise is an educational Ayurveda knowledge library. We publish evidence-informed articles on Ayurvedic herbs, nutrition, lifestyle, wellness practices and natural living — free to read, with classical and modern sources cited.
Do you offer consultations, treatment or medical advice?+
No. DoshaWise provides educational information only. We do not offer personalised medical consultations, diagnosis, prescriptions or treatment. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional for any personal medical concern.
Who writes and reviews the content?+
Articles are drafted from classical Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhitā, Sushruta Samhitā, Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdayam, Bhāvaprakāśa Nighaṇṭu) and peer-reviewed research, then reviewed by our founder and editorial lead Kiranmaye Cartier, an Ayurveda Diet & Lifestyle Consultant.
How do I know a claim is well-sourced?+
Every article carries its editorial review information and a References section. We label traditional-only knowledge clearly with phrases like 'traditionally used for…' rather than translating it into modern medical claims. See our Editorial Policy for details.
Is Ayurveda safe alongside conventional medical care?+
Diet and lifestyle changes are generally safe. Ayurvedic herbal supplements and formulations can interact with prescription medication and may not be suitable in pregnancy, breastfeeding or with certain conditions. Always consult your GP before starting any herb or supplement.
Can I contribute or suggest a topic?+
Yes — editorial suggestions, corrections and topic ideas are welcome. Email contactus@doshawise.com with the article URL (if applicable) and, ideally, a source we can verify against.
