MAPI's products are sold through its own mail-order catalog and its online store at mapi.com, retail outlets in Canoga Park, California and Fairfield, Iowa, and health food stores throughout the country. The company also markets its products to 70 countries outside the United States. A growing number of health professionals recommend Maharishi Ayurveda products to their patients as well.
