Around this time, he claims, he hit upon the idea of using the ancient system of Ayurveda to heal the sick.
After finding success in treating patients in Kota, he decided to move to Mumbai in 1999. He bought herbs from Masjid Bunder, which he would grind and add to honey. Khan claims he was featured in a city morninger twice, which contributed to his business' growth.
