I am not just a founder; I am the formulation expert, manufacturer, and packer. When I create a batch of my Bhringaraj Ksheer Tailam or whipped soaps, I use traditional techniques like Kshir Pak Vidhi, ensuring that the herbs are processed correctly to retain their potency. This is not factory-made skincare. This is medicine-grade Ayurveda prepared for your daily wellness. If you are unsure which formula suits your skin type or hair concern, send me a message on WhatsApp. I personally review every enquiry and can recommend the right product based on your specific needs. My journey began with a simple belief: Ayurveda should be accessible, effective, and part of your daily routine. As an MD in Ayurveda, I saw too many people struggle with chemical-laden products that offered quick fixes but no long-term health. ROOTS is my answer to that. My clinic in Panvel is where the real work happens. It is where I conduct my consultations for weight management, PCOD, and diabetes, and it is also my manufacturing hub. The process is a family affair; my parents often help with the packing, and every jar, bottle, and pouch is handled with care and gratitude. I focus heavily on the 'why' behind every ingredient. Whether it is sourcing wild turmeric for my whipped soaps or preparing Ubtan blends, I ensure we stick to ancient texts while keeping the formulations practical for modern living. My goal is to help you achieve freedom from disease naturally. When you buy from ROOTS, you aren't just buying a product; you are engaging with a practitioner who cares about the result. From my Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapies to my handcrafted hair care range, everything is designed to be safe, chemical-free, and effective. If you are looking to start your healing journey, let's connect. ## About Sayali Vaidya Thakare I’m Dr. Sayali Vaidya Thakare. Ayurveda isn’t just my clinical practice; it is my life and the soul of ROOTS. I spend my days between consulting patients and hand-pouring small batches of herbal formulas, ensuring every item that leaves my workshop is something I would trust for my own family.
