From Recovery to Revolution: The Meeting That Shaped HANAH’s Mission

The path to HANAH’s partnership with Dr. V.A. Venugopal began with a life-changing experience. After suffering a serious biking accident, HANAH’s founder, Joel Einhorn, struggled with recovery, seeking alternatives beyond conventional medicine. His search led him to Dr. Essay, a practitioner deeply rooted in traditional Ayurvedic healing. Through this introduction, Joel discovered the power of Ayurvedic remedies, including wild-harvested herbs, adaptogens, and ancient preparation techniques that played a key role in his recovery. This transformative journey, which ultimately inspired HANAH’s mission, is detailed in Recovery to Revolution: HANAH Pure & Ancestral Supplements. Recognizing Ayurveda’s potential to restore balance and optimize human performance, he was eventually introduced to Dr. V.A. Venugopal, a highly respected expert in Ayurveda, yoga, and pranic healing. This meeting solidified HANAH’s commitment to sourcing and formulating products that uphold the purity and wisdom of Ayurvedic traditions, shaping the foundation of what HANAH stands for today.
