Frequently Asked Questions

InnerVeda is a personalised Ayurvedic wellness platform that helps you discover your dosha (mind-body constitution) and provides tailored recommendations for food, meditation, daily routines, and more — all rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts.

Yes! InnerVeda's core tools — including the Dosha Quiz, Food Guide, Meditation Library, and Learning Hub — are free forever. We offer an optional premium tier with advanced features like personalised meal plans and deeper Vaidya interactions.

InnerVeda was created by a team passionate about making Ayurvedic wisdom accessible through modern technology. Every recommendation is grounded in classical texts like the Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam.

No. InnerVeda provides educational Ayurvedic content and personalised wellness recommendations, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.

Vaidya is InnerVeda's AI wellness companion, trained on classical Ayurvedic principles. Vaidya provides personalised recommendations for food, meditation, and daily routines based on your dosha profile.

Vaidya uses your dosha quiz results, seasonal factors, and your stated wellness goals to tailor advice. Recommendations are grounded in Ayurvedic principles of rasa (taste), virya (potency), and vipaka (post-digestive effect).

No. Vaidya is an educational tool that makes Ayurvedic knowledge more accessible. For complex health concerns or personalised treatment plans, we recommend consulting a certified Ayurvedic practitioner (Vaidya) in person.

Doshas are the three fundamental bio-energies in Ayurveda — Vata (air + space), Pitta (fire + water), and Kapha (earth + water). Every person has a unique combination of all three, which influences their physical, mental, and emotional characteristics.

Our quiz is based on classical Ayurvedic assessment criteria and evaluates physical, mental, and lifestyle factors. While it provides a strong indication of your prakriti (constitution), a comprehensive in-person assessment with an Ayurvedic practitioner can offer additional nuance.

Your prakriti (birth constitution) remains constant throughout life. However, your vikriti (current state of imbalance) can shift due to diet, lifestyle, seasons, age, and stress. InnerVeda helps you understand both and provides recommendations to maintain balance.

Many people are dual-doshic (e.g., Vata-Pitta) or even tridoshic. Our quiz identifies your dominant and secondary doshas, and Vaidya tailors recommendations that honour your unique combination rather than treating you as a single dosha type.

Agni is your digestive fire — the metabolic force responsible for digestion, absorption, and transformation of food, thoughts, and experiences. Strong Agni is considered the foundation of good health in Ayurveda. Our Agni Assessment tool helps you understand your digestive capacity.

Our Food Guide contains 800+ foods with detailed Ayurvedic properties — rasa (taste), virya (potency), vipaka (post-digestive effect), and dosha impact ratings. You can filter by category, dosha compatibility, and more to find foods that support your balance.

We offer 98+ guided sessions across 13 categories including pranayama (breathing exercises), dosha-specific meditations, chakra work, yoga nidra, mantra chanting, and more — from 5-minute quickies to 45-minute deep sessions.

The Daily Ritual Builder (Dinacharya) helps you design a personalised daily routine based on Ayurvedic principles. It considers your dosha, lifestyle, and goals to suggest optimal times for waking, eating, exercising, and sleeping.

Absolutely! All content — the Food Guide, Meditation Library, and Learning Hub — is accessible without a quiz. However, taking the quiz unlocks personalised recommendations and filters tailored to your constitution.

No account is required to browse our Food Guide, Meditation Library, or Learning Hub. Creating a free account saves your dosha profile and personalisation preferences across sessions.

We take your privacy seriously. Your dosha quiz results and preferences are stored securely and never shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling and your rights.
