Triveda was founded in 2009 after working for 2 years within established Ayurvedic Clinics in London; Shymala Ayurveda in Holland Park and Ayuspa in Kenton. I wanted to start my own business and specialise in certain chronic conditions that I have seen Ayurveda providing great results with.

Did you know your tongue can hold more bacteria than your teeth?

In Ayurveda, tongue scraping is an essential part of dinacharya (daily self-care). The Charaka Samhita advises daily tongue cleansing to protect overall health, reminding us that the mouth is the gateway to digestion, immunity, & vitality.
So yes… the material matters.

While traditional texts mention scrapers made from gold, silver, tin, brass and copper, copper has remained the favourite & modern research helps us understand why.

Why Copper Over Plastic or Steel?
✨ Naturally antimicrobial
Copper releases ions that rupture microbial cell membranes. Research published by the American Society for Microbiology confirms copper destroys a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi & viruses.

✨ Self-sterilising
Unlike stainless steel where microbes can survive for hours if not dried properly, copper continuously resists bacterial growth between uses.

✨ Supports oral microbiome balance
As a trace element, copper supports enzyme activity & helps maintain healthy oral flora & alkalinity in the mouth.

✨ Aligned with Ayurvedic wisdom
Classical texts recommend scrapers made from metals, never plastic. Copper became preferred for its cleansing and immune-supporting qualities, perhaps why copper vessels were once widely used to store drinking water across India.

Why tongue scraping matters
Research shows daily scraping can:
• Reduce bacteria linked to cavities & gum disease
• Lower sulfur compounds responsible for bad breath
• Improve taste perception
• Outperform brushing alone for reducing halitosis

All in under 10 seconds.

Your Ayurvedic oral sequence:
1️⃣ Scrape tongue (before tea or coffee)
2️⃣ Brush teeth
3️⃣ Oil pull
4️⃣ Rinse with warm water

Caring for your copper cleaner:
• Rinse and dry after each use
• If it darkens or tarnishes, that is oxidation, not dirt. Simply rub with lemon & salt or soak briefly in diluted vinegar

Tongue scraping is about gentle, consistent cleansing. You don’t need to remove everything on day one, be patient. Over time, as digestion improves, the coating often reduces too.

If you live with eczema, you will know how disheartening a flare can feel, especially when you have been trying so hard.

But flare ups are rarely random.

More often, they reflect small imbalances quietly building beneath the surface, a change in season, disrupted sleep, stress, diet, digestion and gut health, or even increased dryness.

The skin is incredibly intelligent. It shows us when something within needs attention.

So, if your eczema has flared lately, do a quick review of where things are before frustration takes over.

Ask, what might your body be needing more of right now?

Understanding this is where healing begins. Healing eczema takes time, but understanding your triggers can truly transform your healing process and minimise those flare ups.

You may have noticed articles in the wellness space lately, questioning the safety of Ashwagandha across parts of Europe.

When a herb trusted for centuries suddenly makes headlines, it deserves understanding, not alarm.

In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is used as a powerful adaptogen and nourishing Rasayana, known to restore strength, steady the nervous system, support immunity, and help the body adapt during times of stress.

So, what has raised concern?

The truth is it is rarely about the herb alone.

Much of the discussion relates to how some modern supplements are produced, highly concentrated extracts, different parts of the plant, inconsistent quality, and sometimes doses Ayurveda would simply never recommend.

In Ayurveda, we traditionally use the root, valued for its grounding and strengthening qualities. Classical texts has always been precise about plant parts because each one can act differently within the body.

This is why sourcing and preparation matter so deeply in my practice. Herbs should be grown with care, harvested at the right time, and prepared in ways that honour traditional wisdom rather than chase potency. Quality is not a luxury in herbal medicine it is what helps make these plants both supportive and safe.

The conversation today is therefore less about fear, and more about thoughtful use.
✨ The right herb
✨ In the right form
✨ In the right dose
✨ For the right person

This is where Ayurveda is most powerful.

If you choose to take ashwagandha, a few things to look for:
• Does the website/label clearly state root?
• Is the dose sensible, especially with extracts?
• Is the brand transparent about quality and testing?

Seek guidance from a qualified practitioner if you are pregnant, have thyroid or liver conditions, or take regular medication. And most importantly listen to your body.

Herbs are powerful allies when used with respect and understanding. Choose your supplements the same way you would choose your food, consciously, and with care.

If you are ever unsure about a supplement, you are always welcome to message me before starting it. I am happy to guide

Save this as a reference when choosing your supplements and share it with anyone currently taking ashwagandha.

In Ayurveda, oral health is never seen in isolation. The mouth is deeply connected to digestion, immunity and metabolic balance, making the health of our gums and teeth a reflection of what’s happening throughout the body.

This is why Ayurveda gives such importance to daily oral rituals like tongue scraping and oil pulling as part of Dinacharya (daily routine). In the classical texts, these practices are known as Kavala and Gandusha.
✨ Kavala = gently swishing a small amount of oil
✨ Gandusha = holding the mouth completely full of oil (without swishing)

Both practices are designed to help draw out toxins, support a healthy oral microbiome, strengthen the tissues of the teeth and gums, and nourish the body at a systemic level.

Different oils may be chosen depending on constitution and imbalance. Sesame oil is most often mentioned in the classics for its penetrating, strengthening and Vata-pacifying qualities. While not classically referenced, coconut oil is sometimes used where there is excess heat or sensitivity.

In the classical texts, Arimedadi Tailam is the traditionally recommended medicated oil for daily oral care, particularly for gum health, bleeding gums, mouth ulcers, bad breath and oral sensitivity.

Our Daily Mouth Wash (Arimedas Tailam) follows this traditional formulation, using sesame oil as its base and steeped in 36 medicinal herbs including Arimeda, Khadira, Cinnamon, Liquorice and Manjistha. These herbs are traditionally used to help reduce inflammation, strengthen the gums, support healing of oral tissues, discourage plaque build-up, freshen the breath and maintain healthy microbial balance.

Modern research now echoes what Ayurveda has long taught, showing that oil pulling can help reduce plaque, harmful bacteria and oral inflammation, supporting gum health and fresher breath.
Adding tongue scraping and oil pulling to your morning routine, after brushing and flossing takes just a few minutes yet offers powerful support for both oral and whole-body health.

Consistency matters more than duration. A few mindful minutes, practised daily, is enough.
Do you already include oil pulling in your routine, or is it something you’ve been curious about but unsure how to begin? 💛

Consistency is one of the biggest struggles I see in clinic, not because clients don’t care, but because modern life places constant pressure on the nervous system.

With wellness everywhere, we’re flooded with what we should be doing. Routines, protocols, habits, often layered on top of already full lives.

Ayurveda was never designed for rigid routines or all-or-nothing habits. It was designed around living in rhythm with the changing seasons, adapting to our environment, our time of life and the demands of our daily routine. Making small, repeatable actions that support where the body is now and what it needs to regain balance.

And rhythm becomes sustainable when it’s connected to why it matters.

When habits are built around goals alone; weight loss, steps, workouts completed they often fall away as soon as life gets busy. But when an action is rooted in a value, it has something deeper to return to.

A goal asks: What should I do?
A value asks: Why do I want this for myself?
Feeling steadier.
Having more energy.
Being present in your body.
Caring for yourself so you can care for others.

Consistency isn’t maintained through pressure. It’s sustained when actions align with what truly matters to you.

If routines keep slipping, it’s not a lack of discipline.
It may simply be that the “why” hasn’t been fully felt yet.

Start with one small action.
Connect it to a personal “why”
Return to it at the same time each day.
Let rhythm, guided by meaning, carry you forward naturally.

As the year draws to a close, I wanted to pause and say thank you.

Whether you’ve purchased one of our supplements or self-care rituals, spent time reading our journal, or simply stayed connected through our posts and newsletters, I’m deeply grateful for allowing Triveda to be part of your Ayurvedic journey. Your support helps create something more than products; it allows a real wellness community to exist, built on care and trust.

To my wonderful clients who shared their health challenges with me, often at a vulnerable moment, thank you for your openness, courage, and commitment to the process. Witnessing the courage it takes to make changes, to listen to your body, and to care for yourself with intention is incredibly humbling. Trusting me with your health is something I never take lightly, and it’s an honour to play even a small part in your wellbeing.

As we move into the festive season, I hope you find time for rest, reflection, and the practices that truly nourish you.

With warm wishes for a peaceful festive season and a gentle start to the new year,
Ragini 🤍

The festive season is full of warmth, connection and celebration…

Which also means, crowded trains. late nights. busy diaries. But it’s also when our immunity can quietly take a hit.

In Ayurveda, Nasya is one of the most important daily rituals for this time of year.

Applying a few drops of Anu Tailam in the morning helps nourish the nasal passages and create a natural protective barrier especially helpful during flu and cold season.

It’s one of those small, ancient practices that makes a surprisingly big difference.

As a little festive offering, we’ve reduced the price for a short time:
✨ Our 10ml now £8 (was £9.50) 30ml now £18 (was £20) ✨

A gentle ritual. A powerful form of self-care.

I really do love the run-up to Christmas. The cosy catch-ups, the evenings out, the festive food, and yes that extra glass of champagne or mulled wine we’ve all earned by this time of year.

But with this new flu virus making its rounds, it’s worth keeping a gentle eye on how we’re feeling as we head towards Christmas and the New Year. The last thing any of us want is to be curled up under a blanket while everyone else is celebrating.

This is the season when our immunity quietly dips, late nights, indulgent foods, irregular meals, a little more alcohol, and less sleep all start to disturb our Agni (digestive fire) and weaken Ojas, our deep reserve of vitality and immunity.

If you’ve been feeling a bit “off”, more tired, or catching colds easily, your body is asking for a little balance and steadiness. In today’s carousel, I’m sharing simple Ayurvedic ways to keep your immunity strong, your energy grounded, and your spirit nourished through all the festive joy.

A small reminder that joy is medicine and so is caring for yourself. A few mindful tweaks can make such a difference.

Save this for the weeks ahead and share it with someone who could use a little festive immunity support.

This Diwali felt different ✨

Most years are a blur of celebrations, endless mithai, laughter, and the rush of visiting family and friends. But this one was slower, softer, more inward. A Diwali spent in quiet reflection, deep gratitude, and of course, my favourite part, the Lakshmi Puja 🪔

And though I’m a little late sharing my wishes this year, someone sent me these beautiful lines that felt too meaningful not to pass on to you. I don’t know who wrote them, but they capture exactly what I wish for all of us this Diwali.

🌼
I wish you light,
one that lies within,
sometimes dormant,
or restless,
mostly flickering…
Let it shine.

I wish you silence,
to be able to hear oneself
clear & uncluttered,
without getting lost
in the noise outside.

I wish you wealth,
of knowledge, imagination & the joy of sharing it.

I wish you prosperity of the heart
to hold everything & everyone dear.

I wish you joy,
like a river that enriches all it touches.

I wish you love,
like light that dispels darkness,
fills warmth, hope & harmony.

Wishing you all a beautiful Diwali & a luminous New Year filled with peace, purpose and love 💛
