Perfume in Ayurveda is important since we need to feed all 5 senses to bring balance and harmony to our day ! Scent is something that elevates and balances our mind ….using only pure ethically made and sourced essential oils . Here are some that I just got and they are made from the purest of essential oils . These particular ones are for focus and staying centered .

“Even the practice of meditation is not done just for your own peace, but is done because with a peaceful mind you can go out and serve the world well . With that idea you should meditate . This vairagya, or non-attachment alone is enough to change your entire life into a peaceful one” written in The Yoga Sutras.
Everyone is trying to meditate for their own peace of mind …and everyone is still struggling with stress , Meditating the wrong way and with the wrong intention , once the intention changes meditation comes easily . But daily practice without worrying about the outcome is essential .

MENOPAUSE!! …..is not a disease !!...is puberty a disease ?...no !!!
The cessation of menstruation due to the natural end of the reproductive cycle is called the Menopause. Estrogen and Progesterone drop and women may experience symptoms due to this hormonal shift. Women now suffer from many common menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, skin dryness, decreased bone density, hair thinning and so the list goes on. In order to prevent these symptoms which should actually not occur in a healthy woman, one needs to start taking care and creating balance from the age of 35. In the meantime if have already entered into the perimenopausal phase and you do get the above symptoms, Ayurveda has tools to reduce the severity of them.
First is to address any stress in your life, second is to look at what you are eating and how much, third is to think about what kind of exercise is appropriate for you , fourth is to support yourself with ayurvedic herbs and fifth is to look at your sleep hygiene. There are some herbal teas which are very supportive during this phase....Marshmallow, licorice, Fennel or Shatavari. You do not need to suffer and have to tolerate any of these symptoms since they are not a normal path of menopasual life !

SpIce knowledge : do you really know your spices ? Spices in Ayurveda are very near and dear to its central theme of healing & balancing .... these days we have our popular spices that are being turned into super stars .... but hold on do you really know how to take them ? Are you guzzling as much as you can to get maximum benefit ? Do you notice any benefit ? Let’s look at the most popular super star currently ... TURMERIC ... this sweet old humble root is being thrown around in all sorts of formulas and concoctions ... so here is the truth ...
Turmeric is drying and heating ...it also does not get to all ares of the body if taken in water alone !
It needs a lot of fat ! ... so the best vehicle for Turmeric is ghee .... that is why in Indian cooking we add turmeric directly into the oil or ghee . Another way to eat turmeric is to make a pickle ... this natural probiotic and appetizer is very tasty !... DM me for the recipe !

The Gunas in Ayurveda : These are the properties that exist in everything around us and within us as well. There are 20 properties of the Gunas but the main ones are
Heavy and Light
Unctuous and Dry
Cold and Hot,
Steady and Mobile.
It is popular to just do the Dosha Quiz and this can be entertaining …but understanding the Gunas and knowing which ones are dominating for you right now is what is more important so that one can create daily rituals that help you balance them. For example one doesn't want to feel too heavy or too light so learning the tools to alleviate this is key.
An Ayurvedic daily lifestyle consultation helps you create this plan .
