Today is the Spring Equinox, a moment where day and night stand in perfect balance.

At last, we can see a gentle shift in the season. Winter begins to loosen its hold, bringing brighter days, longer evenings and around us, nature starts to awaken. There is a sense of hope and excitement in the air!

Across cultures, this time of year has long been recognised as a point of renewal. In ancient agricultural traditions, the equinox signalled the beginning of the growing season, a return to planting, nourishment, and the promise of what is to come.

In India, today also marks the Hindu New Year and the beginning of Chaitra Navratri, nine days dedicated to different forms of Goddess Durga, each representing strength, wisdom, discipline, and transformation.

This time is celebrated across the country in different ways:
• Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra
• Ugadi in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
• Navreh in Kashmir
• The start of Vikram Samvat in many northern regions

While traditions may vary, the essence remains the same, renewal, new beginnings, and a reconnection with something deeper.

What I find most meaningful about this time is how closely it follows the rhythm of nature.

Unlike January, which arrives in the depth of winter, this new year comes when everything around us is beginning again. After months of slowing down, reflecting, and turning inward, there is a natural readiness to move forward.

It feels less forced, and more aligned.

It is a day that bridges the cosmic and the earthly, reminding us of our connection to the natural cycles of time and that growth comes through balance.

Wishing you a joyful Spring Equinox and a happy Hindu New Year ✨

Every family has one.

A woman who quietly holds everything together.

Across many traditional cultures, the wisdom of the Matriarch was deeply honoured.

In India, elders were seen as the keepers of Parampara, the living thread of knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Grandmothers carried the stories, the remedies, the rituals, and the memory of a lineage.

Among many Native American traditions, grandmothers were revered as wisdom keepers of the tribe, sometimes forming what is known as the Grandmother Council, guiding decisions and protecting the spirit of the community.

Across cultures, the Matriarch was rarely loud.
But she was powerful.
She carried memory.
She carried truth.
She carried the light.

I took this photograph on my last trip to India.

She was sitting surrounded by her family; children, grandchildren, voices moving around her, yet there was a quiet gravity to her presence. You could feel that she was the centre of it all. The one who held the stories, the history, the thread that binds a family together.

This is the essence of the Matriarch.

The woman who has walked through the seasons of life and returned with wisdom.
In a world that often celebrates speed and youth, the Matriarch reminds us of something deeper, the sacred power of experience, patience, and memory.

Yet many older women today feel unseen or unheard.

Perhaps this International Women’s Day is an invitation to restore reverence for our elders, to sit with them, listen to their stories, and recognise them for what they truly are:
Our living libraries.
Our keepers of memory.
Our quiet light bearers.

✨ Today, take a moment to honour the women who came before you.
Who is the matriarch in your life?

One of the most common things women tell me during perimenopause and menopause is:
“I’m gaining weight around my middle, and I can’t seem to shift it.”
Even when diet and lifestyle haven’t changed, many women notice that fat begins to accumulate around the abdomen rather than the hips and thighs.

This shift is very common and often linked to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen. As oestrogen levels fall, the body becomes more likely to store fat around the abdomen rather than the hips and thighs. This type of fat is called visceral fat.
Visceral fat sits deep within the abdominal cavity and surrounds organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.

Unlike fat stored around the hips and thighs, visceral fat is metabolically active and is associated with increased risk of:
• Cardiovascular disease
• Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
• Metabolic syndrome
• High blood pressure
• Fatty liver disease
• Chronic inflammation

This is why looking only at BMI or body weight can be misleading.
A more helpful indicator is the Waist–Hip Ratio (WHR), which looks at fat distribution rather than weight alone.

How to measure it
1. Measure your waist at the narrowest part of your torso (or just above the belly button).
2. Measure your hips at the widest part.
3. Divide waist by hips.

Example:
70 cm ÷ 90 cm = 0.78
For women, a ratio below 0.85 is generally considered healthier.

In Ayurveda, abdominal fat accumulation is often linked to Kapha imbalance and weakened Agni (digestive and metabolic fire).

When Agni becomes sluggish, the body may struggle to properly transform nutrients. Over time this can lead to the formation of Ama (metabolic toxins) and accumulation in meda dhatu (fat tissue).

Supporting Agni, digestion, movement and daily rhythms becomes especially important during this stage of life.

Have you noticed changes in where your body stores weight during perimenopause or menopause?

I’m often asked why I chose the name Triveda.

The answer lives in both philosophy… and something very personal.
In Sanskrit, Veda means knowledge, sacred wisdom passed down through generations.

And Tri means three, a number that carries profound significance throughout Ayurveda.

The Tridoshas; Vata, Pitta, Kapha, which govern our physiological nature.
The Trigunas; Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, which shape our mental and emotional states.
The 3 pillars of health; nourishment, sleep and balanced energy, that sustain life itself. Even the 3 causes of disease; misuse of the senses, mistakes of the intellect, and time. This rhythm of 3 is woven into the very fabric of Ayurvedic philosophy.

Ayurveda teaches us that balance exists in relationship, between body, mind and spirit. Between action, rest and awareness. Between who we are… and how we live.

But for me, “three” also represents something deeply formative.
The three classical Ayurvedic texts
Ashtanga Hridaya
Charaka Samhita
Sushruta Samhita
Together known as the Brhat Trayi.

These weren’t just study materials. They shaped how I understand health not as the absence of disease, but as harmony between body, mind, senses and spirit.

These texts do not simply describe symptoms or prescribe herbs. They explore the root cause of imbalance, the early signs of dis-ease, and the profound power of diet, lifestyle, awareness and seasonal living. They remind us that true wellbeing is preventative, intentional, and deeply individual.

So Triveda is not just a name.

It represents threefold wisdom; ancient knowledge applied to modern life.
It honours lineage of Ayurveda
It honours balance.
And that, truly, is the heart of my work

If this resonates with you, tell me have you explored Ayurveda before, or is this new to you?

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? 💛

27/01/2026

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.
