Ayurvedic Expert Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra

Ayurvedic dermatologist, product formulator, researcher and educator Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra considers himself blessed to have been born into a family with a 5000-year-old history of healing, wherein the precious, authentic ayurvedic knowledge has been passed on in its totality and purity from generation to generation. Vaidya Mishra's family is mentioned in the ancient Vedic texts called the Puranas. Vaidya is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to "one that knows," and is the title given to ayurvedic healers that have attained comprehensive knowledge of the science of ayurveda.

Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra graduated from the College of Ayurvedic Medicine in 1974. After that he spent several years in internship with his father, an acclaimed ayurvedic physician. He also traveled to southern India to receive additional training in ayurvedic principles and therapies, including Panchakarma, ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies that are now offered worldwide. During these years, he received intensive training in the family specialty, ayurvedic dermatology. In 1982, Vaidya Mishra started research in the field of ayurvedic transdermal systems in collaboration with local allopathic physicians. He published a series of articles on ayurveda in Indian newspapers and did several radio and television shows. Since 1971, Vaidya Mishra has traveled often to western countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, England and the USA to lecture on ayurveda and to design individual programs of balance for people in these countries.

Since 1996, he has spent a considerable amount of time refining his knowledge of ayurvedic touch therapy, transdermal systems and the transdermal absorption quotient of many well-known ayurvedic herbs, including Gotu Kola, Aloeweed, Arjuna, Ashwagandha and Tulsi. During this time, he developed many ayurvedic anti-aging cosmeceuticals that incorporated the principles of transdermal ayurvedic healing. His product formulation achievements in this field include a very recently developed line of ayurvedic transdermal rasayanas. Rasayanas are ayurvedic formulations that have holistic positive influence on the human physiology. These formulations combine the traditional knowledge culled from the Sanskrit texts of ayurveda with principles of modern dermatology and phytotherapy as well as cutting-edge methods of extraction and processing that retain the healing wisdom of individual herbs.

Vaidya Mishra currently works as an independent researcher, product formulator and educator. His latest series of seminars for healers includes an ayurvedic transdermal intensive. He also regularly sees people one-on-one at different locations in the USA and Canada to design individual programs for balance, and writes for various publications on ayurveda.
