  • The world and our lives seem to have changed in a matter of a few weeks across most of the world. I'm forever grateful that I was able to visit my family and friends in South Africa for 3 weeks over Christmas 2019 and January 2020, before COVID-19 brought most of the world to a lockdown. May we all be able to visit our family and friends again soon! #prelockdown #precovid19 #thenewnormal #tablemountain #capetown #visitcapetown #vandawaterfront #homeiswheretheheartis #motherland #southafrica #myhomecountry

  • Ayurvedic self-care with a herbal bath of chamomile and rose flowers. In Ayurveda, bathing is known by the Sanskrit word 'snanam'. The word Snanam not only refers to bathing, but also to spiritual purification or ceremonial cleansing. 'Avagaha' is another Ayurvedic therapy that falls under 'swedana' or sweating therapy, which involves immersing yourself in a bath filled with a herbal decoction. According to Ayurveda, daily bathing has additional benefits to cleansing the body... It also promotes out digestive fire, promotes our physical strength and immunity, increasing Sattva (mental purity) and brings courage. Bathing is one of my favourite rituals of the day, I can soak for hours! #ayurvedicrituals #dinacharya #rosebath #chammomilebath #snanam #avagaha #avagahaswedanam #bathingwithflowers #selfpurification #ayurveda #ayurvedauk

  • With all the extra time on my hands with us all having to stay at home, I'm focusing on all the beautiful Ayurvedic lifestyle practices that we can apply in our daily lives to improve our wellbeing. Last night I applied Ayurvedic hair oil to the Marma points on the top of my head to aid restful sleep. This is a practice that falls under the ratricharya (evening regimen) of Ayurveda. Even though I had the same amount of sleep that I normally do, I fell asleep easily and woke up feeling so much more refreshed. These Ayurvedic practices are so simple, but can make such a big difference in your day to day life. This morning as part of the Ayurvedic dinacharya (daily practices), I did some tongue scraping, self-Abhyanga (self-massage), application of Nasya (nasal) oil and a meditation. My morning practice has left me feeling grounded, calm, clear and expansive. . What rituals and practices do you follow in your daily life? . 📸 by @luminhuman . #dinacharya #ratricharya #ayurvediclifestyle #dailyrituals #ayurvedicdailyroutine #practicestoliveby #feelinggrounded #feelingexpansive #meditation #meditationpractice #ayurveda #ayurvedauk #ayurvedainuk #traditionalherbalmedicine #ayurvedicherbalmedicine #herbalmedicine
