Dr. Rekha Radhamony is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician from Kerala, holding a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery) degree. She has been practicing Ayurveda in Dubai and India for over 13 years, combining classical wisdom with practical, modern-day applications.

Through her signature Agni Awakening Program, Dr. Rekha and her team have successfully guided 20,000+ patients from more than 61 countries, helping them reverse, manage, and prevent chronic diseases using a holistic and individualized Ayurvedic approach. Her guiding belief is simple yet powerful:
“Food is Medicine”—or more precisely, Ayurvedic Food is Medicine.

Teaching has always been central to Dr. Rekha’s journey. “If I weren’t a doctor, I would have been a teacher,” she often says. This passion led her to launch her first live online Ayurveda course in 2021, which received an overwhelming global response. Students appreciated her clear explanations, structured curriculum, and ability to simplify complex Sanskrit concepts, giving her the confidence to expand her teaching mission.

This momentum led to the creation of the Charaka Samhita course, which grew into a thriving international learning community between 2022 and 2024.

In 2025, Dr. Rekha chose to teach Ashtanga Hridayam, a text valued for its clarity, conciseness, and practical relevance. Compared to more expansive classical texts, Ashtanga Hridayam brings Ayurveda to life through well-organized verses that are easier to study, remember, and apply in daily living. Months of careful preparation have gone into this course—writing detailed notes, creating worksheets and slides, revisiting classical references, consulting senior professors, and simplifying Sanskrit shlokas while preserving their depth and authenticity.

Dr. Rekha’s purpose is to transform Ayurvedic knowledge into lived wisdom, empowering students to confidently apply Ayurveda in their own lives and professional practice.

People are saying

When it's Dr. Rekha, it's only REAL Ayurveda and When it's REAL Ayurveda, it's only Dr. Rekha.

October 27, 2024

This course is the result of the hard work of DrRekha to inculcate the REAL Ayurveda into common people. The science behind Ayurveda and how it operates on human body is clearly explained with every why and how. We are used to the words like Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya that now, after the course, when someone says anything claiming it Ayurveda, we question if it’s really from the original samhitas. Dr. Rekha took huge efforts in simplifying all the science in common words that even a child can understand. Everyday routines, seasonal routines, what and when to eat, what is prakruti and how we align our lifestyle along with our prakruti, complete Aurvedic nutrition are just some of the things that we have learnt and there are many. We are also assisted with Dr. Aparna Sharma, who answered our questions patiently, while the class is taken by Dr. Rekha. Harshita and Akshay were with us all days of the course to assist us with the technical help. Overall, I can now see what real Ayurveda is and how real Ayurveda can do wonders. Thank you Dr. Rekha for your profound teaching and may God bless you. And we are waiting for your next courses with all our ears to get more knowledge about Ayurveda in the coming days.

Comprehensive and Inspiring

October 27, 2024

I have been looking for a teacher to walk me through the principles and to be able to study under Dr. Rekha has been pleasant and inspiring! She’s also quite strict which made me a little nervous because I’ve always been a slow learner and I really wanted to do my best for this course. It was helpful to understand the principles from her perspective and expertise. It’s because of her recommendation that I have a copy of the Caraka Samhita at home to read bit by bit. She has inspired me to keep learning and keep observing. Practice, practice, practice is what she’s always telling us and it’s such common sense in these times of information overload and misconceptions. It all takes practice. Everything was well organized and timely. I would recommend this course to anyone who is curious about deepening their understanding of Ayurveda.

Her dedication shines through in the detailed notes and well-structured slides, which bring clarity to every topic and make complex concepts easy to grasp. She doesn’t just teach Ayurveda; she breathes life into every lesson, infusing them with her deep passion and wisdom. I am truly grateful for the immense time and effort she invested in curating such a rich and immersive learning experience. Having all the knowledge compiled so thoughtfully in one place is invaluable. Each class felt like a step closer to understanding the profound philosophy and science behind Ayurveda. Her teaching style, rooted in authenticity and compassion, made me feel connected not just to the material, but to the ancient wisdom it embodies. For anyone eager to explore the depths of authentic Ayurveda, I can’t recommend this course enough, it has been a gift of wisdom and a journey of self-discovery that I will always cherish🤗🤗❤️❤️

Love you doc!

Life changing

October 27, 2024

I recently completed Dr. Rekha’s *Ayurvedic Secrets to Good Health*, an enriching 8-week online course based on the *Caraka Samhita*, one of Ayurveda’s foundational texts. The course offered a comprehensive deep dive into the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, with a particular focus on integrating daily practices (dinacharya) and nutritional guidance into modern life.

What truly set this course apart was its practical approach. Dr. Rekha meticulously walked us through various elements of *dinacharya*—the Ayurvedic daily routine—covering everything from morning rituals to cleansing practices. She provided not just the theory but also practical steps to adopt these practices, making it easy for participants to incorporate them into their busy lives. The focus on holistic well-being through small, sustainable changes was empowering.

The nutritional guidance was another highlight. Dr. Rekha explained the concept of food as medicine, showing us how to tailor meals according to individual *doshas* and seasonal changes. Her emphasis on mindful eating and balancing the six tastes in meals gave me a new appreciation for how food can affect physical and mental well-being. The personalized dietary suggestions and her clear, approachable style of teaching made the material accessible even for beginners.

Dr. Rekha’s method of teaching was engaging, and her deep knowledge of the *Caraka Samhita* was evident throughout. She skillfully related the ancient Ayurvedic principles to modern life, making the content both relevant and easy to apply. Each week built upon the previous, allowing for a gradual yet thorough understanding of Ayurveda’s core principles. The live Q&A sessions were invaluable, offering personalized feedback and clarification.

Overall, this course was a transformative experience. It not only broadened my understanding of Ayurveda but also gave me actionable tools to live a more balanced, healthful life. For anyone interested in holistic health and wellness, Dr. Rekha’s course is a treasure trove of Ayurvedic wisdom.
