the meaning behind balaveda

The name balaveda fuses two Sanskrit words:
bala – strength
veda – knowledge

Together, they remind us: real vitality comes from knowing your body—and knowing how to support it, naturally.

This is wellness—rooted in ancient herbalism, bottled for real life, and designed to taste as good as it feels.

  • Nothing synthetic. Nothing artificial.

    Just clean, functional ingredients backed by tradition and trusted by your body.

  • Clinically Respected, Naturally Chosen

    Ashwagandha, cordyceps, turmeric, and amla—clinically respected, sustainably sourced, expertly blended.

  • Tastes as good as it works.

    No bitterness. No weird aftertaste. Just vibrant flavor and real results.

the story behind balaveda

Meet the Founder: Amanda Hester-Smith

When life on a Tennessee farm—plus solo parenting while her partner traveled 200+ days a year—became a full-on stress test from the universe, Amanda had two choices: burn out… or adapt. She adapted.

A certified Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Practitioner, herbalist, and yoga instructor, Amanda leaned into ancient wisdom and modern grit. She traded anxiety for adaptogens, stress for sovereignty, and burnout for radiant energy.

What started in her kitchen is now a ritual in every bottle—infused with her expertise, intention, and a whole lot of heart. And now, every shot, sip, and scoop is infused with her expertise and intention.

adapt like you mean it

Whether you’re navigating stress, chasing clarity, or just want your glow back—balaveda is here to make wellness feel good again.

Born from the belief that taking care of yourself shouldn’t feel like a chore—or taste like one—balaveda delivers ancient healing in modern form.

Drink deeply.
Live fully.
And always adapt with style.

For the love of good vibes.
