Our Promise

Purusha was created by a experienced Ayurvedic Physician, as an alternative to mass-produced skincare that’s designed to appeal to everyone, but ends up benefiting no one. Instead of churning out products that reduce people to their skin type, we customize our Ayurvedic skincare solutions according to the unique needs and desires of the whole person. With Purusha’s made-to-order formulas, you never have to worry about purchasing products that have lost their potency or developed impurities from sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. This zero-waste approach to production and consumption stems from our deep belief in the importance of responsible stewardship over our planet’s precious natural resources. 

We Put People First

Our dedication to caring, personalized service in every aspect of our business means we strive to ensure our customers, our employees, and the planet benefit from what we do. Like the people we serve, Purusha values diversity, community, and environmental responsibility. Our shared commitment to these ideals can help create the conditions for all of us to thrive—and to have great skin, too!

Backed By Experience

Purusha was founded by Kathy Jo Staheli, AD, a NAMA recognized doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine, specializing in Panchakarma, the Ayurvedic science of detoxification and rejuvenation. Her passion for sharing Ayurveda inspired her to found the Purusha Ayurveda Wellness and Panchakarma Center first in Malinalco, Mexico, and now in Kayenta, Utah as a destination where people can deepen their experience of Ayurveda through residential wellness programs. She is currently an integral part of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and speaks globally on Ayurvedic philosophies and practices. With over a decade of practice, in the Ayurvedic health industry, she has developed Purusha Botanicals from her years of clinical experience and her the in-depth knowledge of the Ayurvedic System of Medical Science.

A Timeless Medical Science

Ayurveda, meaning "Knowledge of Life" in Sanskrit, is a holistic health system that's been thriving for thousands of years. It goes beyond just treating symptoms to eradicate the underlying causes of disease, offering tools and guidance for a balanced, healthy life. Think herbal remedies, diet tweaks, exercise, daily routines, body therapies, skincare, yoga, meditation, and detox practices.

This ancient practice is all about personalization. Ayurveda categorizes individuals by unique anatomical and metabolic types, considering each person's distinct pattern of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. Factors like stress, diet, toxins, weather, work, relationships, and lifestyle can throw your body and skin out of balance, leading to disease and imbalances.

The magic of Ayurveda lies in its belief that you have the power to take charge of your own healing. Real change happens when you address the behaviors causing illness. Ayurvedic practitioners craft tailored health programs and herbal formulations based on each person's unique constitution, and state of balance, offering a comprehensive system of healing and long-term solutions.

At Purusha Botanicals, we bring these timeless Ayurvedic principles into our custom skincare products. By understanding your unique skin balance, we create personalized skincare solutions to restore harmony and promote radiant healthy skin. Our products are designed to support your journey to optimal skin wellness with ancient wisdom and a touch of modern care.
