      <image:caption>As suggested by the term, we are quite literally ‘break’ing the overnight ‘fast’. The first thing we consume in the morning will set the tone for the day and kickstart our digestive system to take on the day. A warm breakfast kindles the digestive fire (agni) and promotes optimal digestion- responsible for breaking down everything we eat and is of the utmost importance in Ayurveda to remain disease free.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Ayurvedic Wisdom of Water - Do you love drinking cold water? After studying Ayurveda, I have to hold back the extreme urge to stop every single person I come across on a daily basis with a glass of cold water! In the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, water is more than just a beverage—it’s a key to balance.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And guess what? The temperature of water matters!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Ayurvedic Wisdom of Water - Warm water, known as “ushnodaka,” kindles our Agni (digestive fire), aids digestion, helps remove toxins, and promotes circulation. Warm water can be room temperature or hot enough that its tolerable when your pinky is dipped in it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to Ayurveda, it is best to boil your water, let it cool down naturally, and add herbs or spices according to your needs and take small sips throughout the day. I typically drink lemon water in the morning, and add dry ginger powder or crushed coriander seeds and sip throughout the day (dry ginger helps with digestion, and coriander seeds help keep my doshas in balance). It is best to avoid drinking water during meals as well as 30 minutes before and after meals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Want to Supercharge Your Digestion? Meet Dry Ginger Powder</image:title>
      <image:caption>The root of all diseases in Ayurveda is poor digestion, which leads to ama (toxins or undigested food). This would mean that to remain disease-free, we must ensure that we do everything in our power to supercharge our digestion to support the breakdown and assimilation of whatever we eat and drink.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Want to Supercharge Your Digestion? Meet Dry Ginger Powder - Here are a few home remedies using dry ginger powder:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Improve Appetite: Take 2g dried ginger powder with ghee or warm water in the morning. Indigestion: Take 2-4g dried ginger powder a day. Painful Menstruation: Ginger reduces pain during periods. Drink ginger tea (dry ginger powder in water) with brown sugar. Diabetes: Ginger lowers lipid, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. These properties have been confirmed in various clinical studies. Ginger juice is shown to reduces serum glucose levels in animals. For diabetic patients, including dry ginger powder in their daily diet could help reduce the chance of kidney damage associated with diabetes. Bronchitis: Boil 5g dry ginger powder in 1 cup water. Cook till the volume reduces to half. Filter and drink.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Raw Salads: Friend or Foe? The Ayurvedic Perspective - So, does that mean we should avoid salads all together? Absolutely not! Salads can still be enjoyed (I love a good salad!). However, instead of having a big bowl of salad or just having a salad as your entire meal, try having it as your side! Enjoy salads in small portions (read: side salad) as a part of your main cooked meal. Pro tip: Make sure your salad has healthy oils, fats, vinegar, lemon and black pepper that will help to reduce the dry, cold qualities of the salad and help in better digestion and nutrient absorption.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Raw Salads: Friend or Foe? The Ayurvedic Perspective</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eating raw salads is healthy, right? Well, according to Ayurveda, it depends! Depends on what, you ask? Your individual body constitution (Prakruti), your digestive power (Agni), and any imbalances you may be suffering from (Dosha).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TURMERIC: A MIRACULOUS AYURVEDIC REMEDY FOR CUTS AND WOUNDS - So HOW CAN I APPLY TURMERIC TO BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It couldn’t be simpler! Make a paste with turmeric and water (or turmeric and aloe) and apply it gently on your wound, cover it with a band-aid to keep the turmeric in place and avoid staining anything, and voila! Note that turmeric is a vibrant yellow spice that stains your skin and everything it touches, but its benefits far outweigh the fear of stains in my books!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - MY FAVE PRANAYAMA:  NADI SHODHANA (aka ALTERNATE NOSTRIL BREATHING aka ANULOM VILOM) - What is Pranayama? In Sanskrit, ‘prana’ means life force and ‘yama’ means control. So Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation originating from yogic practices in India for physical and mental wellness, and involves various breathing exercises and patterns. Upon studying Ayurveda, the universal Pranayama that I would suggest to EVERYONE, no matter what your body type, would be Nadi Shodhana, also known as Alternate Nostril Breathing or Anulom Vilom.</image:title>

I identify as a global citizen who is Indian at heart.  Few of my favorite things are Family. Friends.  Ayurveda. Dance. Travel. Music. Yoga. Sky Diving. Shopping. Bollywood…you get the drift!   My life mantra is respect yourself first and always!  Respect is the purest form of love and care we show not only to ourselves but to everyone around us.  A non-negotiable and a true reflection of acceptance, diversity in thought, and character.  I respect you, and I’m so glad our paths crossed. I hope you stay a while!</image:caption>
