Bio:

Cimeran Kapur is the founder of Potion, a premium holistic wellness brand focused on bringing Ayurveda's 5,000 year old medicinal wisdom to the modern consumer via time-tested plant based remedies and wellness tools. The brand's hero product, an Ayurvedic herbal Immunity Potion, was born out of Cimeran's quest to heal after she was diagnosed with life-threatening cancer during her medical training at the age of 28.

She relishes in bridging the mystic and the scientific to bring trust to the space of Ayurveda's ancient medicine, given her long standing background in the medical field as a former researcher, public health official, doctor-in-training, and now Ayurvedic therapist.
