About

:

Dr. Natalie W. Geary, top New York City pediatrician, creator and founder of the skincare collection vedaPURE™, has accumulated a wealth of parenting knowledge from her years both as a doctor and a mother. The word “veda” itself is the ancient Sanskrit word for knowledge, and it is just this that she has brought to her skincare collection and now to her new online parenting blog, modern mums. modern mums provides mothers of all stages with valuable information ranging from how to help your child deal with holiday stress, to the pros and cons of your child receiving the flu shot. Unlike other parenting blogs, readers can be assured that advice is being given not only from a mother’s tried and true experience, but from a doctor’s professional standpoint. With frequently updated video and written blogs, a Q & A section, and an “It” list with the latest mommy must-haves, modern mums is like having your own personal pediatrician on call 24/7.

“To me, this blog seemed to be the next logical step in both my career as a parent and as a doctor. I have a lot to share from a personal and professional perspective. I want to give my readers as much information and reassurance they can get without actually sitting in my office,” says Dr. Geary.

Dr. Geary first began giving mothers out-of-office care with the launch of vedaPURE™, the first and only skincare collection using ancient ayurvedic principles of balance and health, herbal remedies for calming and soothing and the highest standards of excellence in modern care. vedaPURE™ includes lines for the whole family, vedaMAMA™, vedaBABY™, and vedaDUDE™. Dr. Geary just introduced the latest addition to the collection, vedaRX, a line of creams, oils and salves that have an added touch of an at home pediatric call.

REVIEWS

OUR PHILOSOPHY The essence of vedababy is the combination of ancient ayurvedic principles of balance and health, herbal remedies for calming and soothing and the highest standards of excellence in modern care to create simply natural and honestly pure products for babies and children that actually work.

Veda is the ancient Sanskrit word for knowledge. At vedababy, we combine the knowledge and the wisdom and practices of ancient science with modern pediatrics to provide practical daily care.

simply natural Cosmetic labeling allows for a great deal of confusion for the customer about what is “natural”. For example, a fragrance is a blend of more than 100 synthetically derived chemicals, usually phenyls, aldehydes, and alcohols that give an aroma to products. Fragrances mentioned on a label imply a natural product but actually consist of many undisclosed artificial ingredients and are the cause of the vast majority of adverse allergic reactions to products. Essential oils, on the other hand are highly concentrated super distilled oils extracted from plants, leaves and other naturally existing products. There are no chemicals involved, and each essential oil comes from one source, a living plant.

honestly pure Similarly, many “baby safe” products for the skin contain steroids and preservatives known to be potent drugs that have widespread effects on the body. The skin is a porous organ, the largest organ in our body,and chemicals placed on the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream in varying amounts and potencies.

Use of steroid-containing products may unwittingly expose your baby or child to steroids and their potential long-term effects. vedababy products are also free of methyl parabens, propyl parabens and formaldehydes which are synthetic preservatives in the majority of skin care products.

our offer

vedababy takes pride in the purity and quality of our products.

What distinguishes us from other “natural� product lines, is that unlike many other baby products, the ingredients are honestly pure and natural without dangerous chemical or chemical preservatives.

Although Dr. Geary originally formulated the products for her patients with allergies and eczema, the products are indicated for every family that wants to offer their babies and children the safest and the purest products.

With Oz Garcia- Spring 2008

Radio talk with Natalie Geary What is Ayurvedic medicine: Ayurvedic medicine is the medical system developed in India and practiced continuously for over 5.000 years. It is described in the texts as “The science of life” because it delineates not only treatments for illnesses but also a system of daily living practices that restore the balance and harmony of the individual, resulting in self-healing, good health and longevity.

How is that used to help patients?

The Goal is really to integrate modern medicine with some of the traditions of Ayurveda and other healing disciplines, and to work very individually with each patient bring about total health, wellness and balance.

What is so unique about that kind of medical approach?

I am not sure that anything here is so unique- in fact the whole idea is to use what is traditionally been proven thru time and history to show benefit, whether it comes from western or eastern or other forms of healing. In fact I hate the idea of a gimmick or some promise of some “new trick” when it comes to being well- being well should be based on the simplest straightforward time honored and natural practices.

The reason why it may seem “unique” is because there are still a lot of practitioners out there wedded to a single discipline, and worse disdainful of other disciplines within health care. Clearly there are snake charmers selling fish oils out there- but the majority of people committed to health and wellbeing have something beneficial to offer- the problem is that they stay inside the box of their one discipline and don’t enable the patient to utilize multiple modalitiesNow that has changed a lot since I first studied ayurvedic medicine in Bombay in 1982- now more and more practitioners from both eastern and western medicine are talking to each other, working together. But still there is a lot of suspicion, resentment or disdain. And the problem is that the person who suffers from these turf wars is the patient- because they are ashamed to ask questions, and cant get synthetic advise. I try to offer that synthesis- looking at the data from different types of medicine and picking and choosing to design the best program for that patient.

What do you do in terms of an integrative medical practice: I try to offer that synthesis- looking at the data from different types of medicine and picking and choosing to design the best program for that patient.

What are the most common problem children come in with?

Well, to my office I would say allergy-related issues, -i.e. skin, respiratory or gastrointestinal- often the parents do not realize that the three are linked.

What is your skin care line based on in terms of how you made it, why?

Veda is the ancient Sanskrit word for knowledge. The essence of vedababy is the combination of ancient ayurvedic principles of balance and health, herbal remedies for calming and soothing and the highest standards of excellence in modern care to create simply natural and honestly pure products for babies and children that actually work.

What is Mobile Pediatrics and how did you come up with that, how long did you do it for, is it still running?

When my family and I moved to Santa fee I began working at the major pediatric clinic in town. Unfortunately, Santa Fe itself is a wonderful art filled and leisurely town, but just outside of Santa Fe are some of the most impoverished areas in the united states- at the time I think New Mexico rated 49th out of 50 for worst health of its children. Anyway, our clinic was overflowing, and many of the children had no toothbrushes. If we got too full, the only emergency room in town served as their clinic. So I tried to convince the CEO of the hospital to fund a mobile van for us to travel to the rural areas (literally that meant as close as 15 minutes outside of town) to provide health screening and basic care- I tried to point out that it would actually be more cost effective for the hospital than having these kids run up huge ER bills for ear infections. I also pointed out we could enable a vaccine screening program. He laughed. So I did it myself- I started a non-profit and bought a used truck and raised the money and drove around to the schools and churches and post offices where the kids could come and get screened.

Eventually we got several grants and private donors who were incredibly generous. The program has since been moved into the public schools health clinic screening programs, but the situation is still very understaffed and under funded, but better each year.

veda is the Sanskrit word for “knowledge” and includes teachings from an ancient oral tradition. First compiled in writing in about 6000 B.C., the vedas are the oldest literary works in the world. They cover all fields of knowledge, material and spiritual, and offer principles for physical and emotional health.

NATALIE GEARY, MD is the creator of vedaPURE™ A pediatrician, a graduate of Harvard College and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The vedas are the inspiration for Dr. Natalie Geary’s vedaPURE™ and its subsidiaries, the company that offers you wellness through the purity of knowledge, nutrition, healthy skin, and a strengthened immune system.

DR. GEARY’S STORY She has practiced pediatrics in Santa Fe, NM, and in Manhattan. Her practice integrates natural and ayurvedic principles into a modern pediatric approach. vedaBABY™ began in Dr. Geary’s office: her patients and their families were seeking solutions to their childrens rashes and needed skincare for the dry, sensitive and allergy challenged skin they suffered with. Dr. Geary realized that the skincare available to these families all contained parabens, methyl parabens, harsh chemicals or steroids. She started formulating the vedaBABY™ products as an alternative for families seeking simply natural and honestly pure skincare. The word spread beyond her patient population and families began calling.

Women bringing their children to the office as well as Dr. Geary’s teenage patients all wanted to use the products, and started buying the vedaBABY™ Butter. During the many pre- and post- natal visits in Dr. Geary’s office, pregnant and nursing mothers asked her about the potential exposures to their baby of many skincare products. vedaMAMA™ was developed to meet the needs of new Moms. Not wanting to neglect the guys in the family, Dr. Geary created vedaDUDE™ for those young and not-so-young men.
