Sangjay D. Yoga Teacher - Ventura CA, (India Workshops)

"Ayurvedic Classes In India: I have learned a great deal about Ayurveda in India form Khabir. I learned from several great Indian doctors one-on-one. I had time to get health treatments and they're very reasonable! Many of the treatments I still use to help keep a healthy balance. Classes started early at breakfast with questioning and reviews then regular topics with tea we continued until lunch break and time to shop. We meet at the ashram for dinner and more teaching that sometimes late into the evening. We also went several times to Herb shops to learn which herbs were the best for each constitution to restore balance. I brought back herbs, Indian jewelry, yoga bags, and clothes. The tests were hard for me with the doctors looking on, but I did very well and I'm grateful for the knowledge that I acquired. There is a nice graduation ceremony at the Ashram at the completion of each course. I help family and friends with my knowledge of anatomy physiology and diagnostic skills in Ayurveda. Khabir's assistant Jade was a big help. I made several friends, too. This is a lifelong study and I'm very grateful for this nice beginning. In my opinion, this is the best, fastest, and least expensive way of becoming an Ayurvedic Practitioner while having the experience of Indian Culture. I highly recommend it! Sangjay D.

"I met Khabir when he taught a Cooking with Spices class at the local Whole Foods Market. His knowledge of Ayurveda was extensive and he spoke with confidence about things I wanted to know more about. He spent several hours with me during an intake appointment and I felt very seen and understood. Years later I still count on his expertise and order products from him from across the state because I believe in the quality and the care with which they are procured."  Marilyn Lauer, Santa Clara CA, April 2019

Khabir has helped me with several health problems and helped me get back my nutrition after antibiotics trashed my stomach. My favorite thing to tell people about though is his respiratory mixes. I was on several allergy medications for years, and now have been able to get off all of them. I just have a delicious cup or two of tea mixed with honey as soon as the sneezing/coughing/choking comes, and I get back to my life. During a cold and after, this mix will cut the postnasal drip off - no more coughing for weeks after the virus has passed! Seasonal allergies are the worst, but I just stay with the tea throughout the day and I am completely functional again. Thank you Khabir! Sara Median, April 2019

Khabir Southwick is best [Ayurvedic] herbalist in CA USA outside of India.  He often travels to India to polish his knowledge and in turn, US citizens are benefited a lot with his treatment.  He has got ample knowledge of herbs and diet to follow. Kirit Avlani, North Hollywood, April 2019

Malti Prajapati, Santa Barbara, (recommend, support, service)

"Namaste, Since mid of 2015, I am taking consistently Khabir's herbs and diet. He is untiredly, openness, hard-working , knowledgeable, and much more has kept my failing pancreas from getting pancreatectomy, before it becomes cancerous. I am blessed to find him. I and my husband blesses him day and night. He goes above and beyond for each and every tiny detail issues to correct it. He gives ample amount of time by listening, talking, explaining, which gives a huge psychologically relief. He always wants to hear from us after one wk of starting of herbs to check if it is effective or not. and changes it accordingly. He does his part professionally and as a patient, I (we) have to be consistently taking herbs to feel better from worse. I highly recommend Khabir. I and my husband also go to India for further treatment like Panchkarma. So call him without any hesitation. He works for our good health." Malti Prajapati, Santa Barbara, April 2019

Jade Crawford, Ojai, CA

Khabir is an excellent teacher who has helped me to gain a high level of knowledge regarding Ayurveda. I've taken every Sunday class, and workshop he's provided since we met in Summer 2017, and last year I attended all three of his courses in India. In all the time I've spent with him, I've found his knowledge to be practical, and highly valuable. He's chosen to focus his teachings on that which is relevant to clinical practice of Ayurvedic herbalism. Under his guidance, I've learned a great deal about Ayurvedic fundamentals and theory, which I've been able to apply to my understanding of the human body and of the world. This has been an extremely expansive dimension of growth in my understanding over the last two years. From his diagnostic courses, I've learned to read the pulse, tongue and body to ascertain the state of toxins, and the state of the doshas. This has been highly valuable to my own self-care, and to my ability to care for those around me. From his teachings and guidance on herbalism, I've learned thoroughly about many herbs and traditional formulas of Ayurveda. This is highly impressive, as there is no way I could have learned this much without a teacher.
Regarding Khabir's courses in India, there is an element to his style of teaching which is very intensive, as in we really did need to do the 2 hours of recommended study each evening before we came to class in the morning. I can understand how it would have been less valuable if one was not prepared to deeply delve into studying Ayurveda, as we covered a vastly large amount of material in a short time, which took strong focus and dedication. Personally, I had a transformational learning experience during these courses, and found them to be invaluable in their benefit to my understanding of Ayurveda, the "Science of Life." I plan to continue indefinitely as a student of Khabir, as I know it will ultimately bring me to a place where I'm able to really help people improve their health.
Thank you Khabir, for all the effort and energy you put into sharing the wisdom teachings of Ayurveda; for myself and your other devoted students, it is a true gift to have you as our teacher. Jade Crawford, Ojai, CA April 2019

"After going to my doctor and trying various allergy medications for 45 years, I stumbled upon Khabir's Facebook add.  After 5 weeks of diet change and Herbs, it was 99% gone.  2 years later- it has not returned- it is gone!"  Stephen Foster, Ventura, CA, April 2019

Kelsey Vireshwara, Minneapolis, MN (videos, diet, ayurveda, recommend)

"I learned so much, and got so inspired working with Khabir to figure out my ideal eating style!! If you want to solve most of your problems, start with your diet + herbs!!! I was really at my wits end trying all types of online-inspired trendy diets and one-size-fits-all eating info from non-ancient information. I tried raw, I tried high carb low fat, I tried keto... none of it felt right... REALLY, I needed to move on with my life and KNOW for myself exactly what my body needed, so that I could take care of it and thrive. I always loved Indian knowledge and yoga, so I started looking online and found Khabir (I had a constant runny nose + sneezing). I loved his videos and was ready to take it seriously. It was such a worthwhile investment for my health, one of the best I have ever made. I feel like I have the info that every human should get when they are young, to learn how to care for their specific body for the rest of their lives. The main thing I love about Khabir's style is that he makes is SO EASY AND SIMPLE!! I have read about Ayurveda and taken workshops, and everyone made it seem so overwhelming and complicated that I just gave up. He keeps is simple and direct, which I love. If I could get everyone I know to see him, I 100000% would. I can say my life is truly better, my body healthier, and my mind clearer, since I made the choice to Skype with him. I am eternally grateful, THANK YOU KHABIR!!!!!! I also love all his videos and webinars because I learn so much more!"  Kelsey Vireshwara, Minneapolis, MN April 2019

"I know Khabir for the last several years, five or six years.

I went to him in California, and I found him a very good practitioner of Ayurveda with a profound knowledge of Ayurveda and a deep interest in Ayurveda. There are many Ayurveda practitioners who just want to make money. He is one of those practitioners who want to learn more and more and give more and more to patients.  I have seen this practically in my life. 

He is an eager learner and he is also a very good teacher.   Not only is he a good learner but [he is a] good teacher.  I have seen him teaching in Rishikesh and all the students have very good words for him.  I have seen the teachings myself.  Whatever topics he is teaching, I think they should be taught in all the Ayurveda institutes.  They should be covered by all the Ayurveda institutes, not only in America but also in India.   He is teaching in a very precise way and a very elaborate way at the same time.  That is very much practical knowledge that he is giving to his students.  I wish him very good luck for his future courses."

"Khabir and his staff are so helpful and knowledgeable, they really helped me understand what I needed for my specific body type to help me be me best-balanced self!  The herbs have been great I took more of the pitta colon and that helped easily of going.  Everything has been going great!  Thank you so much for all your help!"  Danielle Andrea, Ventura CA,  April, 2019

Marguerite D., Los Angeles CA (memory, congestion, fatigue, sleep, night urination)

"When I came to see Khabir the first time 5 months ago, I was about 10 pounds heavier.  I was congested, sluggish, constipated, brain fogged and poor memory, sleep deprived due to having to get up all night long to urinate, and I had so many aches and pains throughout my body I was grumpy all the time.  Khabir put his finger on my pulse and went through my 10 page questionnaire and literally put his finger on the problems I was having!  He gave me a thorough consultation and made sure I understood what needed to be done.  He gave me a complete protocol for what to eat with handouts.  He made me take notes on what I needed to do.  He gave me a tea to drink which instantly relieved my congestion.  I left Khabir's office that first day, only to come back 3 months later a new woman!  Khabir's consultation and herbs were what I needed to lose the weight, get my energy and body back, and have a life again!  He taught me how to eat.  I love the diet he gave me and it turned out to be so good for me.  I even cheated on the diet and still lost weight.  My sleep is so good now.  No more getting up all night to urinate.  No more aches and pains.  Lots of energy.  I have my memory.  I feel 20 years younger like I got myself back!  Do yourself a favor and get a consult with Khabir.  You'll be glad you did!"  Marguerite D., Los Angeles CA, March 2019

Balancing My Mood. Thank you Khabir so much for caring about my health. I've never known a professional like you... You are genuine and you look at the whole person in every aspect, not just one area (to treat). That's what I like about your approach. And the herbs, oils and teas are definitely what I needed. The treatment you have given me is effective and based off of love. You are a timeless Herbalist throughout this world and continue to heal people with your genius ways. Thanks again!
