Our Goals 

CAAM aims to raise public awareness of Ayurveda and build a sustainable, unified community that serves as a resource and a single voice for advancing the profession. Its goals include defining the scope of practice for each professional level, standardizing Ayurvedic education in California, and setting a code of ethical standards. It also seeks to help members obtain malpractice insurance, set up a continuing education (CEU) system, and support research. Longer term, it advocates for a California state-approved license for Ayurveda practice, and it plans to keep professionals connected through newsletters, journals, events, and digital media.
