Ayurveda’s Answer to How to Improve Your Immune System

In Ayurveda, the Sanskrit word  ojus  is synonymous with resistance to disease. There are two types of ojus, which are formed in the womb and fully perfected by the eighth month of pregnancy, called  para-ojus  and  apara-ojus . Within para-ojus, there are exactly eight drops, which are located in the heart and the great vessels surrounding the heart. These eight drops are with you for your whole life, and their purpose is to keep the the body free from diseases. The textbooks say that if this ojus is reduced, the person’s life is threatened, so it cannot be replaced or refilled. Once lost, it’s gone for good. The second kind, apara-ojus, is present at the time of birth, but also keeps accumulating as you grow. This quantity is said to be about one palmful of your own hand, depending on the health of your tissues. In Ayurveda, we have seven classifications of tissues: plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow, and reproductive. Each of these tissu...

5 Things That Create An Ayurvedic Kitchen

Ayurvedic Power Have you heard of chemophobia?  How about pharmacophobia? These are actual, diagnosed fears: One being the fear of chemicals and the other being the fear of medication. While these phobias may be extreme and irrational, there is definitely a true desire amongst many of us to avoid needing prescribed medication or using products with harsh chemicals that could have damaging affects on our wellness. As the desire to treat or prevent illness in the most natural way possible increases, the use of the millennia old practice of Ayurveda is becoming more prevalent in the Western Hemisphere. Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to medicine while seeking to correct imbalances through adjustments in diet, exercise, and sleep. Discovering imbalances is done by determining which dosha is most prevalent in an individual person. A dosha is basically a label given to the type of energy that is most present in the body and mind. There are three types of doshas: Kap...

3 TIPS TO BALANCE PITTA THIS SUMMER

Summer is in full swing here in the Northern hemisphere, which brings mixed reactions: some revel in the long, warm days, enjoying innumerable outdoor activities, while others seek cooling respite from the sun's rays and thick humidity. In the ancient practice of Ayurveda, summer (particularly late summer) is the season of Pitta—the firey, transformative energy at work in both nature and the body. Pitta is the fire that digests food  and  thoughts or ideas, so it's essential, but can easily get too intense as things heat up. If your dominant dosha is Pitta, you can naturally run hot and be more prone to agitation. Hot flashes, impatience, a drive for perfection, and an excess of stomach acid are all Pitta-dominant symptoms that are exaggerated during the hot summer months. What you eat and when you engage in activities this summer is all about balancing internal and external heat. Here are some tips to stay cool and balance Pitta so you can enjoy the most out of the summ...

The summer garden : 7 Seeds to plant for sunny produce

Whoever said that summers were not a loving time for a garden hasn’t quite planted a produce-happy summer garden. While winter vegetables are more heart-warming than a summer bounty, summer vegetables still have a lot going for them. The good thing about summer crops is that they only need a good hot and sweaty day to take root (and some watering). You can plant your summer produce from May to June. You can even plant them a second time around if the days are still hot and your veggies will continue to thrive till the beginning of fall. Your first planting can be of varieties that mature later. But as summer wanes, make sure the seeds you choose are the early-fruiting ones. Before you arm yourself with summer seeds and go about scattering them in your garden, here’s what we all need to know and remember about summer season planting. Even though Mother Nature is full of sunshine these days, it’s always good to have some tricks and tips up your sle...
