Oh boy, oh boy! I created a REALLY FUN 18-page guide for summer! In my passionate quest to heal people through Ayurveda, I decided to create a fun guide to staying healthy during each season. From that intention, Seasonal Bloom was born! As you may already know Ayurveda, the seasons correlate with the energies that [...]]]></description>

Hey! One of you inquired about a spice mix to help reduce cholesterol. Indeed I have one! I got this one from Maharishi Ayurveda and there is a ton of great information on cholesterol on their site. If you want the short version, I&#8217;ll sum it up.
Basically cholesterol is a kapha imbalance. Remembering that kapha [...]]]></description>

Yaaaay!! My dream has come true. The ghee man (Sandeep! From Pure Indian Foods. 1.877.LUV.GHEE) has created some knock-your-socks-off ghee flavors! In addition to the original grass-fed ghee, now there are 6 different flavors of the ghee infused with healing herbs and spices. Woooo!!
They are all tasty and an easy addition to make meals extra [...]]]></description>

If you are a vata or pitta type, you might have a tendency to get stressed (who doesn&#8217;t, right?) and perhaps worries of the future can creep in to cause some anxiety. When a client of mine was feeling anxious, ungrounded, wound up, and stressed, I told her to &#8220;wrap herself in a fuzzy blanket&#8221; [...]]]></description>

Hello Honey! ;) Honey might seem sweet, sticky, and heavy. But! It has a special quality (kinda magical) in which it digests hot, sharp, and drying. Great for heating up spring colds and clearing out kapha. That&#8217;s why honey is great for colds, mucus in the chest or snotty sinus problems. Oh and use the [...]]]></description>
