Your liver is a vital organ that works tirelessly to carry out several jobs in the body, including processing hormones, pharmaceutical drugs and toxins so they can be eliminated by the body, helping to digest fat (by producing bile), metabolising carbohydrates, producing key proteins and supporting the cardiovascular system. Keeping your liver healthy is the best asset you can have! Conventional medicine checks for problems in the liver through liver function tests and, although they are very valuable, an abnormal result usually suggests there may be some degree of liver damage already present. On the other hand, naturopaths and herbalists place a great deal of importance on supporting the liver in order to prevent potential health issues. This is particularly relevant on nowadays society where pollution, pesticides, processed foods, sugar, alcohol, excessive medication, and stress make our livers work harder than ever.

            Breath is our main source of   prana , or life force, and is one of the most basic human functions as well as one of the most profound!  It is also one of our greatest tools and the key to our nervous system. When you inhale, the diaphragm- a dome-shaped muscle separating the lungs from the abdominal cavity, contracts. This contraction, like a void ready to be filled, allows your lungs to expand and fill with air. On your exhale, the diaphragm returns to its normal position and the lungs reduce back to their original shape.             Why breathing is so important to our overall health is that breathing unlike any other system is both under involuntary and voluntary actions. The respiratory center of the brain stem involuntarily controls your breathing. It is automatic and often mindless, but when we can harness the breath, we can reduce trauma and stress from the body. Breath and the Nervous Syst...

Let Your Child Develop to Their Full Potential with Proper Nutrition & Care 👶 Ayurveda contains a plethora of information that adults and children may benefit from. We hope that with this blog, we can impart some of the ancient Ayurvedic knowledge to help your kids develop to their maximum potential. So, let’s get started. The three basic mind-body types or principles identified by the Ayurvedic system are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The correct balancing of these three doshas forms the foundation for balancing the child's mind and body.

It is the energy of air and ether. Pitta Pitta, which controls appetite, digestion, absorption, assimilation, intelligence, charisma, transformation and ambition, is the energy of fire and water. Kapha The governing principle of feeding, development...

                                       According to  Ayurveda , pregnancy and delivery can be the most rejuvenating experience of a women’s life, during which every cell of the mother’s body can be transformed. Unfortunately, in the west, we did not get that memo, and mothers often pay dearly with health concerns after a pregnancy. Ayurvedic Guideline For a Healthy Pregnancy During pregnancy, downward-moving energy called Apana vata supports the development of the fetus. When the mother-to-be is balanced, there is enough Apana vata to go around. In cases of stress and tiredness, however, the upward-moving vata – called prana vata – has to step in and is redirected downward to support the needs of the baby. Without the prana needed to feel the joy of pregnancy, this can leave the mom exhausted, depleted, tired, and even depressed postpartum. Ayurveda Pregnancy...
