wanted more,” he says, “I wanted pure products from start to fi nish.” A patron for the environment, fair-trade practices, non-
GMOs, and sustainable organic farming, Dr. Gumman began researching manufacturing companies and organic farms. He formed a team of international experts of Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, modern medicine, naturopathy and pharmaceuticals. T is includes the “legendary” Dr. Hari Sharma, the founder and Dean at National Institute of Ayurveda, Government of India. With the overwhelming support from the ayurvedic commu-
nity, Dr. Gumman and his wife created Harmony Nutraceuticals. Dr. Bintee Gumman coordinates and oversees the operation of the company and the procurement of the fair-trade and sustainably sourced raw materials. “We wanted to off er high-quality herbs, classical ayurvedic formulae and proprietary blends to the world at an aff ordable price,” says Dr. Gumman—and that’s what they did. “T e supplements of Harmony Nutraceuticals are nur-
tured by nature, made with love, supported by the wisdom of life, backed by science, and based on evidence. T e products are non-GMO, halal, kosher, gluten-free and vegan. No fi llers.

Harmony Nutraceuticals New Herbal Product Lines Combine Eastern Wisdom and Western Science by Barbara Bolduc

wo new herbal health product lines have been created by Dr. Amit Gumman, founder of the integrative healing clinic Harmony Healing Center, in Oklahoma City, and
his wife, Dr. Bintee Gumman, president of their new company, Harmony Nutraceuticals. While working on his naturopathic medicine degree at Os-
mania University in Hyderabad, India, Dr. Gumman realized his true passion and desire to bridge Eastern medicine with Western science. He later completed his Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery, Doctorate of Acupuncture, Doctor of Medicine and Master of Pub- lic Health degrees. “I moved to Oklahoma over 24 years ago and quickly saw the need to focus on introducing Eastern traditional medicine like acupuncture and Ayurveda as well as alternative healing practices such as herbology, naturopathy and yoga to the western culture.” Dr. Gumman has been practicing in Oklahoma City since 1994, and in 2001 he opened Harmony Healing Center, which off ers a wide range of alternative healing therapies. Dr. Gumman “meets people where they are at”, encouraging
them to listen to their emotions and bodies, and to bridge their current Western regimen with an Eastern tradition and then feel the diff erence for themselves.

mans, the products are a synergistic blend of maximum potency extracts and full spectrum herbs that were formulated by a team of ayurvedic, naturopathic, and allopathic doctors in India and the U.S. Product development and stringent quality control were overseen by a team of expert scientists, chemists and pharmacists, and the products are grown and harvested by a coalition of or- ganic, bio-dynamic farmers, and fair-trade, sustainable harvesters. Harmony Nutraceuticals has two product lines, both of
which will be available in June. T e Pure Ayurvedic – Premium Capsule line has single herbs, classical formulae and proprietary blends. “For utmost results, an optimum combination of pure whole herb and highly concentrated extracts are used. Many of the products are fortifi ed with Triperine, our proprietary blend of extracts of black pepper, long pepper and ginger for enhanced absorption and bioactivity,” describes Dr. Gumman. T e Gummans’ Integrative Line integrates the best of
ayurvedic, Chinese medicine and modern nutraceuticals, he says, describing it as “a judicious and scientifi c process which involves the blending of ancient time wisdoms and modern clinical re- search, including Nobel-Prize-winning medical breakthroughs.” In addition to more than 60 supplements available across the two product lines, Harmony Nutraceuticals also off ers pure powders, jams, and bulk extracts and powders. Dr. Amit Gumman sums up his work nicely. “Bridging the
gap between Eastern and Western medicine, ancient wisdom and modern science has always been my life path,” he declares.
