Why do we blog?

The ‘Healing with Kottakkal Ayurveda’ weekly blog was first issued in June 2016. Since then, many informative articles offered by many authors have been added to our collection of blogs. On our website under the main menu, you will find the link to our blog, which you may also view here. Locate the pull-down menu and then choose from one of the many topics. Since the beginning, the Kottakkal USA blog has informed many customers and we look forward to continually adding relevant topics to our collection of blogs.

Each day we average around 1250 clicks

Our goal for writing this newsletter is to educate on Ayurvedic health and wellness and to inform Ayurvedic professionals which Kottakkal products are available in our warehouse located in New Paltz, New York.

Blog topics are organized under

General health conditions such as pain, indigestion, arthritis, headache, immunity, cold and cough, etc. During the last four years, we have covered almost all general health topics which challenge us in our day to day lives. Each blog provides a brief description of recommended products for each health topic.

We would greatly appreciate hearing from our customers if there were any health topics you would like us to add. If you would like to suggest a blog topic or offer feedback we would love to hear from you, please contact us here.

Guaranteed Heavy Metal Testing

AVS continually monitors the heavy metal content of all products, including individual batches of each product. Accurate testing is assured by using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. AVS certifies the heavy metal content in their products is well under the limits set forth by the Indian and US government agencies.

  • Lead - 10 ppm
  • Mercury - 1 ppm
  • Arsenic - 3 ppm
  • Cadmium - 0.3 ppm

 

Due to the excellent quality of Kottakkal products, there are illegal sellers offering products online from India. We advise customers to take care as these products may carry heavy metals higher than US permissible amounts. Also, as an importer of AVS herbal products we are required to offer product labels in English and carry insurance to ensure the public is protected.
