“Healing is not just a science, it’s a sacred transmission. When done with love, it transforms the healer and the healed alike.” – Vaidya Smita Naram
For centuries, ancient healing therapies have offered a gentle and natural way to restore health and balance. Unlike many modern treatments that often focus on quick symptom relief, these traditional methods work by addressing the root causes of illness through natural remedies, detoxification, and lifestyle changes. This approach has helped people facing long-term health issues like chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, and stress find lasting relief. The benefits often go beyond just feeling better—they bring renewed energy, improved well-being, and fewer side effects compared to many conventional options.
Today, there is a growing movement of healthcare leaders who are bringing this ancient wisdom into the modern world. By thoughtfully combining time-tested practices with new scientific research and technology, they are making effective, personalized healing available to more people. Their work shows us that sometimes, the best way to move forward is to look back—to nature, to history, and to the deep knowledge passed down through generations.
A great example is Vaidya Smita Naram, Co-founder of Ayushakti Ayurved. She plays a vital role in guiding the company’s global growth by blending ancient healing traditions with modern technology. Overseeing operations, innovation, and a worldwide network of clinics, she ensures that natural wellness remains central to their approach. By integrating AI with Ayurveda and promoting scientific research, she helps improve treatment accuracy and patient care. Thanks to her leadership, Ayushakti has grown from a single center to over 150 clinics across more than 100 countries, helping nearly 2 million clients manage chronic conditions. Smita’s vision of balancing tradition with innovation continues to establish the company as a global leader in holistic healing.
Commitment to Preserving Ancient Healing Wisdom
Ayushakti was founded from a deep commitment to preserve and share an ancient healing tradition rather than simply provide care. When Vaidya Smita Naram was 21, she witnessed a woman unable to lift her newborn because of severe joint pain. Through Siddha Veda therapies and marma treatments, the woman regained her strength, inspiring Smita’s lifelong mission. Together with her late husband, Vaidya Pankaj Naram, she established Ayushakti in 1987 to revive the ancient Siddha Veda tradition and bring its healing benefits to the modern world. What began in a small room in Mumbai has since grown into a global movement, helping over 1.9 million people naturally restore their health.
From Misunderstood to Respected
Vaidya Smita Naram faced significant challenges as a woman leader in healthcare, especially in a field like Ayurveda that was often overlooked and dominated by men. Early in her career, she encountered bias and underestimation—for example, at her first international medical conference, she was mistaken for an assistant rather than a leader. Despite these obstacles, Smita remained focused on one thing: delivering real, measurable results. She believed that healing outcomes would speak louder than any prejudice.
As more people experienced the effectiveness of her treatments, skepticism gradually turned into respect. Those who once doubted her began to listen, learn, and collaborate. Smita also credits her success to the unique strengths she brought as a woman—leading with empathy, carefully listening to patients and colleagues, and blending intuition with scientific knowledge. This approach helped her overcome challenges and lead effectively in the healthcare space.
A Network of Wellness
Starting as a small center in Mumbai, Ayushakti has steadily grown into a global wellness leader by staying true to its healing mission.
Key milestones in this journey include:
- Expansion to over 150 clinics and partners across six continents.

In tribal areas of India, the company empowers women by involving them in herb sourcing and training. Meanwhile, partners in cities like Los Angeles and Vienna deliver effective healing programs with clear results. Whether it’s a homemaker in Gujarat or a yoga teacher in New Jersey, Ayushakti helps people get back to living the healthy lives they deserve.
40 Years of Data Driving Modern Healing
Vaidya Smita Naram believes that tradition is the soul, and innovation is the vehicle. While honoring ancient principles, she focuses on adapting their application for today’s world. The company’s protocols are based on ancient texts but are also validated through rigorous double-blind studies. Under her guidance, they introduced SiddhaAI, the world’s first Siddhaveda AI system, trained on 40 years of case data to support Ayurvedic healers worldwide. From handwritten pulse scripts to digital CRM tracking and AI-powered recommendations, Smita leads Ayushakti in combining sacred wisdom with modern technology.
Technology has become the modern pulse of healthcare. During the pandemic, Ayushakti served 50,000 clients through digital platforms. Today, Ayushakti use CRM systems to carefully track each client’s progress, AI tools to refine treatment protocols, and digital onboarding systems to train practitioners around the world.

With over 35 years of clinical expertise, Ayushakti has become a trusted name in natural healing across the globe. What started in Mumbai has evolved into a comprehensive international wellness network that has served more than 1.9 million clients in 108 countries, delivering consistent and effective results.
Ayushakti’s reach spans across continents, with 150+ partner clinics operating in regions including India, the USA, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. These centers are backed by an 85% success rate in managing chronic health conditions—an achievement that reflects the depth of its treatment protocols and the dedication of its practitioners.
To support this global footprint, Ayushakti has trained over 500 health professionals worldwide in pulse reading, Panchkarma detox therapies, and the 3R (Remove, Restore, Renew) Healing System—creating a new generation of experts grounded in the Siddha Veda lineage, blending ancient wisdom with modern science.
The company’s momentum is further demonstrated by:

This synergy of tradition, training, clinical results, and global accessibility positions Ayushakti not just as a healthcare brand—but as a movement transforming lives across borders.
Expanding Horizons
Ayushakti is excited about its future plans. The company is expanding into corporate wellness programs and launching Ayurvedic wellness resorts in India and Europe. It is also partnering with a German neurological hospital to study Ayurvedic treatments for neuro-rehabilitation. In the USA, Ayushakti is growing its franchise partner network and will soon introduce SiddhaAI-powered virtual consultations to make precise Ayurveda accessible to everyone at home.
Shift Toward Personalized and Preventive Healing
Ayushakti is moving into an era where healing is personalized, preventive, and involves active participation. People want to truly understand their bodies instead of just covering up symptoms. Ayurveda, with its focus on treating the root cause, using natural foods, and connecting the mind and body, fits well into this approach. New technologies like AI, wearable devices, and clinical data are beginning to blend with these ancient practices. Those who respect tradition and innovation are likely to lead the way forward.
Every Team Member as a Healer
At Ayushakti, every team member is considered a healer at heart. From the front-desk staff to senior vaidya mentors, the company invests in their growth through workshops, certifications, retreats, and daily gatherings. They encourage research, value curiosity, and allow room for learning from failure. The company’s culture is shaped not by boardroom meetings, but by every healing transformation they experience together.
Integrity as the Foundation
Vaidya Smita Naram believes in leading with purpose rather than pressure. For her, the goal is not just to build a brand but to bring light and positive change. When a solution truly transforms lives, success naturally follows. She encourages learning from every client and staying humble before ancient wisdom. Above all, Vaidya Smita Naram knows that integrity is the strongest path to growth.
Vision for a Global Ayurvedic Network
The vision of Ayushakti is to grow its global presence by partnering with over 500 wellness centers worldwide, launch Ayurveda-integrated retreats and panchakarma resorts, and bring Ayurvedic healing into insurance and public health systems.
