Banyan Botanicals
Banyan was founded in 1996 by Scott Cote and Kevin Casey in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Scott began studying Ayurveda with Dr. Vasant Lad in 1986 as a student at the Ayurvedic Institute. His passion for Ayurveda and serving Dr. Lad landed him the responsibility of setting up and running the Institute’s herbal pharmacy. There he worked side by side with Dr. Lad for 10 years mixing formulas for clients while absorbing the wisdom of his teacher.
Kevin began his studies with Dr. Lad in 1993 and joined Scott in the herbal pharmacy the following year.
