About Us Karma Blends was founded by Nidhi Pandya in 2008. Nidhi spent the first 25 years of her life with her grandfather, a master Ayurvedic herbalist in South Mumbai, India. Deeply influenced by his teachings, Nidhi naturally integrated herbal teas and tonics into her lifestyle. When she moved to the United States in 2004, she realized that most of the herbs were not easily available. Also, recently, she had a chance to work very closely with a major pharmaceutical company in New York. What she learned of the pharma practices displeased her and she became determined to make safe and preventative herbal remedies more easily available. Karma Blends was born as a result of her desire to unlock and retain the power of herbs. Herbs have been used in many countries for several years for their healing properties as well as taste. Since herbs are natural, they are also safer than traditional medicine and may be able to successfully complement or even replace traditional medicine in minor ailments. Unlike traditional medicine, you can consume these teas even when you are not suffering from the mentioned ailments. The teas will work to enhance the individual body systems. Our experts have studied herbs from all around the world to discover the most effective ones in terms of benefits and taste.
