🌱 Brahmi, Gotu Kola and Shankhapushpi to promote the memory and intellect, reduce anxiety and stress and improve sleep.
🌱 Shatavari to calm the nervous system and for its anabolic and adaptogenic qualities, and Sariva to nourish Sadhaka Pitta (the mind/intelligence located in the heart). Arjuna to strengthen the physical heart and nourish the emotional heart.
🌱 Triphala and Cardamon to improve digestion and absorption of the herbal formula.

Ayurveda recognised the effect of gut health on the rest of the body thousands of years ago!
🌬️Vishama Agni, linked to the dry and airy qualities of Vata, can be part of a wider symptom picture in the body such as:
▫️anxiety, insomnia, feeling ungrounded, lower back pain, aching or cracking joints, tics and spasms & dry skin.
🔥Tikshna Agni, linked to the hot and penetrating qualities of Pitta, can be part of a wider symptom picture such as:
▫️Inflammation, skin conditions such as eczema and hives, hot flushes, emotions such as anger & frustration.
💧Manda Agni, linked to the slow and damp qualities of Kapha, can be part of a wider symptom picture such as:
▫️Congestion and frequent colds, water retention, weight gain, oily skin and lethargy, lack of motivation & overattachment.
An imbalance in the digestive system is viewed as the cause of Doshic imbalances in the body and by taking steps to balance the digestive system we can improve disease outcomes.
To balance digestion, Ayurveda use nutritional changes based on the qualities and tastes of foods, herbal remedies and self-care practices.

'Hrdaya' is the Sanskrit name for the 'heart' and 'basti' means 'to hold' - in this case slowly pouring warm, nourishing oil over the chest or heart chakra area and holding it there. Bathing the heart in comforting, soothing Ayurvedic herbal oil. This therapy is also know as 'Uro Basti', 'uro' meaning chest in Sanskrit.
Many clients report that during this therapy they feel like they are floating and as if only their heart exists. Others say their whole body felt heavy and they were very aware of the warmth and love in their heart. Others say they felt more loving and uplifted for a few days after the therapy.
This treatment is a wonderful remedy for anxiety, stress, palpitations, a feeling of tightness in the chest and tight intercostal muscles. The warm oil is positioned over the Hrdaya Marma point, an important energy point linked to the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system. It eases breathing and soothes Sadhaka Pitta in the heart, which governs the functioning of both the brain and the heart, responsible for processing emotions and life experiences.
The Hrdaya Basti therapy is an hour appointment and consists of a localised massage, followed by continuous bathing of the heart area with lukewarm to warm oil.
May we all be well and have warm and courageous hearts!

Rather than focusing on calories, micronutrients and macronutrients, Ayurveda is interested in how the food makes us FEEL. Food is chosen according to its tastes, qualities and its effect on the body, in order to bring balance.
▫️If you are feeling cold, dry and ungrounded, focusing on foods that are warming (both in temperature and in potency), grounding and soft will bring you back to balance. 🥑🥒🥕
▫️If you are feeling overheated and inflamed, foods that are cooling in temperature, mild in flavour and grounding will bring balance. 🍉🍇🍐🥦
▫️If you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, foods that are light, warming and well-spiced will bring balance. 🌶️🍒🥬🧄
In addition, our dietary intake should protect our digestive fire (Agni). In other words, we should all eat according to our individual digestive capacity...🔥
🌟 In Ayurveda, it is not about what we eat, but about what we can digest. Although the saying usually goes 'You are what you eat', Ayurvedic wisdom takes it a step further and says 'You are what you can DIGEST'.
To this end, Ayurveda suggests drinking warm water throughout the day to improve your digestive fire (like increases like!), focus on adding fresh ginger to your cooking, along with other culinary spices such as Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander and Fennel to your meals to improve assimilation of nutrients.
Ayurvedic food wisdom can bring great improvement not only to digestion, but also to imbalances and disorders.

The aroma of the blossoms have made me contemplate the use of our sense organs from an Ayurvedic perspective. Our sense organs can either create balance or imbalance, according to how we use them.
According to Ayurveda, misuse of the sense organs is one of the causes of imbalance and disease. The term 'Asatmendriyartha samyoga' , is a Sanskrit term meaning 'misuse of sense organs'.
The breakdown of the term is
▪️'Asatmya' (unwholesome)
▪️'endriya' (sense organs)
▪️'artha' (objects of the senses)
▪️'samyoga' (to combine or link)
Our sense organs can be underused, overused or incorrectly used...
▪️How often do we exhaust ourselves by working on blue screens late into the night? 👁️
▪️What do we spend our time listening to - inspiring and uplifting music and podcasts, or do we listen to gossip and unpleasant news? 👂
▪️Do we take a daily walk in nature and enjoy all the scents of the flowers, trees and soil? 🌸🌿
▪️Does our tongue appreciate all six tastes (sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, astringent), or are we regularly having excessively sweet or salty foods? 👅
▪️Do we partake in pleasant touch such as self-massage or the touch of a loved one, or the hug of a friend? 🤗
How often do we withdraw our senses (yoga calls this 'pratyahara' ) to go within during meditation? What can we partake of to bring more Sattva (spiritual enhancement) to our mind via our senses?
By focusing on experiences that are pleasant and uplifting to our senses, we improve our mental health, immunity and resilience. #yogaofthesenses
