Welcome to NAMA

We face an exciting time in the history of Ayurveda. Together we can establish Ayurveda as a legitimate health care profession in the United States.

It is the intent of this organization to represent the interests of the Ayurvedic profession as a whole. Our vision is that this association will be able to gather together and unify our profession around its common interests and goals. The organization is set up as a non-profit professional trade association under IRS section 501,(c)(6).

On August 27th 2008 the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published another article by Saper et al. on heavy metals in Ayurvedic medicines. To read the article abstract, please click here.

NAMA together with its cooperative partners APA (UK) and VEAT (Germany) have issued a joint response to the above article. To read the joint response, please click here.

NAMA Survey of Ayurveda in the United States

This is the first nationwide survey administered by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association to find out more about the composition of our community, how we have been trained, how we practice and how we can improve our efforts to professionalize Ayurveda in the United States. The Survey addresses some of the pressing issues in Ayurveda at this time.

It will take you anywhere between 30-60 minutes to complete. The data from the survey will be provided to NAMA members and the public through various venues, on the NAMA website and through one or more peer-reviewed journal articles in relevant health care publications.
