So many good things about Ghee.. it is more digestible than oil, it has a mysterious prabhav (inate magic) that pulls toxins into the digestive system and as a result is wonderful to use for cleansing, it is also an art to make it!

I know, I know - everyone out there is crazy for coconut oil. I am too. I absolutely love coconut oil and it truly is a very healthy fat option. However, I love ...

Your eyes are the windows to your liver says my teacher, Dr. Vasant Lad.

This time of year your liver works extra hard to manage elevated kapha dosha, and the transition from earth element to water element in your body. Assist your liver in it's hard work by receiving a netra basti (nourishing and toxin clearing treatment to the eyes).

While many people have a general idea of what Ayurveda is, few have discovered its real powers.

There is no one thing that can define Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is not just a system of healing, or a way of eating...it is a yogic art that unveils the secrets to living a life of purpose, of dharma, and of happiness.

The truth is, without these essential things, true health is an impossibility.

Learn Ayurveda, and you learn what it means to be a complete human being.

Learn Ayurveda, and you learn how to generate an unprecedented vitality that will serve you throughout your life.

Happy heart and vitality day!
Chyawan's Love Story

Chyawan was an old man in his nineties when he found the love of his life.

Unfortunately, his love was a young, beautiful woman in her twenties. Well, they fell in love and decided to marry and have children, but Chyawan was too old to start a family. So he sought counsel with some Ayurvedic experts who specialized in longevity. He told the doctors he finally found the love of his life and needed to become youthful again to father children and live a long happy life with his new-found love.

The doctors prepared a special formula for Chyawan which gave him the youthful vitality he sought. The formula, which is now more than a thousand years old, is still available today and is called Chyawanprash. "Prash" means "to eat" - to this day the name has stuck and literally means "what Chyawan ate" to restore his youthful vigor.

Now, modern-day research has studied Chyawanprash to deduce what this ancient formula may have to offer to the modern-day picture of health.

Love for cardamom resonates through history - for instance, ancient Egyptians chewed cardamom to whiten their teeth and sweeten their breath. Cardamom helps take the edge off of caffeine in the famous drink Turkish coffee. Cardamom is a member of the ginger plant family along with turmeric.

The food we eat does become the tissues of our mind and body, thereby enabling us to make proper decisions about how to live our lives... however, worrying about it, and not listening to our bodies interferes with this process. Get to know your body, then you will eat based on it's needs, rather than those of the culture. Self reference!

Hi friends, I am currently seeking someone to share an office space with me and my Ayurvedic practice. I am wondering if you or anyone you know is interested in renting a beautiful space from me for 2 or 3 days a week. Price is negotiable at the moment, but message me and we can talk about it. Preferably it would be a body-worker, nutritional therapist, or someone whose practice would fit easily into the space. Please pass this along!
Thanks so much!
