• Mystical Forces: Indigenous Ayurvedic Remedies

Carina Chatlani, born in Bombay, India, and raised in Germany, England and the United States, enjoyed a wonderfully eclectic childhood that blended the worlds of East and West. Her strong belief in the science of ayurveda is rooted from the teachings of her grandparents, who explained Indian cosmology—the philosophical study of the nature of the universe. Her fascination toward ayurveda also led her to seek apprenticeship with Indian and Tibetan sages in the Himalayan Mountains who grew herbs, extracted essences and created plant oils for medicinal purposes. The concept of Body Bistro emerged as a manifestation of Chatlani’s intention to live a life of healing through the science of ayurveda. She went on to develop a professional skin management collection for Body Bistro called the ASANA|Professional Spa Collection.
