Our top Tips for the Festive season and Summer ☀️💃🌲

Most people, especially those prone to Pitta imbalances, should avoid or minimise excessive exercise, alcohol, and foods that are salty, sour and pungent, or hot in nature during the high summer heat. ☀️☀️☀️

As the quote from the classical text states “one should either drink alcohol in little quantity or should not drink at all”.

How do you feel about this? 😅🤔👇

Some tips:

1. Avoid excess alcohol 🍷
2. Stay well hydrated! We love coconut water or diluted pomegranate or grape juice 🥥🍇🍇🍇
3. If you consume alcohol, stay out of the sun (Don’t drink at the beach)! ☀️
4. Don’t drink on an empty stomach.✋
5. Don’t drink if you feel weak and tired 🥱
6. Keep cool by sprinkling water or spraying rose water mist on your face 🌹
7. Wear light clothing (linen or cotton).
8. Wear cooling gems (such as rose quartz, Aquamarine, Sapphire and pearls)💎💎💎
9. Practice Nasya (nasal oil application) with bhringaradi oil or brahmi ghee 👃
10. Try a lassi drink. Blend 1 tablespoon of fresh yoghurt with a cup of water and a pinch of cumin powder. Drink this 3-4 x daily, this will help to prevent dehydration and soothes a burning stomach 🥛

- 🥒🥬🥦Foods - cooling and nourishing foods to balance both Pitta and Vata. Basmati rice, coriander, cucumber, celery, basil to name a few.
- ☀️☀️☀️Celebrate the sun: welcome the sunrise facing east while performing your spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, pranayama and chanting.
- Ksheeradhara will be one of our most popular Ayurvedic treatment with the heat rising in Perth 🌞. Wonderful to cool body and mind.

With love, Karin and the Lakshmi team 🙏
We are open until the 24th of December.

💓 Hridaya (heart) in Ayurveda is much more than a pulse.

If yesterday’s post about heart basti - the treatment where warm medicated oil is gently held over the centre of the chest-resonates with you, then you’ll love these three delightful insights we’ve gathered from the classical texts.

In other words, Ayurveda teaches us that a healthy heart isn’t just about circulation - it’s about emotions, clarity, connection and the juiciness of life. It is the throne of consciousness. It is where Ojas, our deepest vitality for the bodily tissues glows.

Remember yourself to move gently, love deeply and rest often.

Your heart does feel everything!

Ayurvedic Hridaya Basti (Heart Basti) is a gentle invitation to pause, soften, and reconnect with our inner self.

If your heart is calling for deeper emotional healing,
a Heart Basti may be the most loving gift you give yourself this year. 💖

Christmas can be beautiful, but for some it can also feel overwhelming, emotional, bring up grief and feel heavy on the heart.

Ayurvedic Heart Basti supports emotional balance by nourishing the heart center with warm, herbalized oil.
It calms the nervous system, eases emotional tension, and encourages a deeper sense of safety and connection.

As we move through the holiday season, this gentle therapy becomes a way to:

💕 Release emotional buildup
💕 Restore heart openness
💕 Cultivate compassion (for self and others)
💕 Ground yourself in calm connection
💕Great for improving the functioning of the heart

We have open appointments this week! If you are interested in making a booking, you’re welcome to call/ text 0406 810 547 or email info@lakshmiayurveda.com.au.

Gift vouchers are available on our website or for purchase in the shop! The link to our online shop is in the bio. We hope you have a beautiful week ahead ✨

With Love, Karin and the Lakshmi Ayurveda team 💝

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the busyness of life… especially in the month of December 🎄 . So, let this post be a gentle reminder and your “permission slip” to take care of yourself during this busy time of year 😮‍💨 .

Take pause each day, and some deep belly breaths. Sit down to eat, and properly chew your meals 🍴 . Take your shoes off at the end of your work day, and walk on the earth, the grass or the beach. And prioritise sleep… preferably lights off by 10pm 😴✨ .

As well as these little day-to-day moments to help calm the nervous system, there is nothing quite like the effects of receiving a body treatment such as Abhyanga, Shirodhara or Kati Basti to calm the mind and body. We would love to welcome you to the clinic for one of our beautiful treatments🫶🌸

We still have availability, and are open right up until Christmas! Booking link in our bio or contact us directly.

With love from the Lakshmi Ayurveda Team 🥰🪷💗

Grapes are my favourite fruits and I have to admit that I prefer eating grapes over drinking wine. The words from a daughter of a wine maker 😂😂😂

As the quote from the classical text states “one should either drink alcohol in little quantity or should not drink at all”.

As we head into the warmer months and the Festive season will be upon us before we know it, we thought we would share some facts about Ayurveda & Alcohol consumption.

The classical text states “one should either drink alcohol in little quantity or should not drink at all”.

The classical texts of Ayurveda describe both the benefits and harmful impact of alcohol consumption 🥃 Learn the balanced and appropriate means of alcohol consumption from an Ayurvedic viewpoint.

The Charaka Samhita has mentioned the Ayurvedic treatment of Alcoholism in the Chikitsa Sthana chapter 24.
Alcohol has the opposite qualities of Ojas. Ojas is responsible for consciousness, purity in thoughts, health, positivity, immunity, longevity, intelligence and memory ✨ It is important to look after our Ojas.

The 10 qualities of Ojas are similar to those of milk and ghee. They are opposite to Madya (alcohol) and Visha (poison). This clearly shows that alcohol and toxic substances (chemicals/ recreational drugs) will diminish our Ojas and can have severe consequences for our health ❌

When Alcohol = Ambrosia ✅
If taken in an appropriate manner, in a right dose, at an appropriate time, along with wholesome food in accordance with ones own strength and with a cheerful mind, alcohol works like ambrosia which can give happiness, energy, nourishment, good health and virility.

When Alchool = Poison ❌
Charaka then states if a person drinks whichever type of alcohol is available without thinking of its appropriateness, and in excess quantity, and if the body is dry and exhausted by physical exercise than it works as a poison.

More on Ayurveda and Alcohol is coming soon 🍷🍻🥃🍸🍾

Dhara Treatments Based on the Doshas 💨🔥💧

Should I have shirodhara, Ksheeradhara or Takradhara? That’s a questions many clients ask🤔👇👇👇

Should the beautiful Shirodhara vessel be filled with

1. Ksheera / medicated milk
2. Thailam / medicated oil
3. Takra / medicated Buttermilk

Ayurvedic treatment is individualised based on the specific needs of the client. We have three different Dhara treatments that we offer at the clinic - each with a specific action to pacify certain doshas.

Dhara is the Sanskrit word meaning ‘to pour’.

Looking to Pacify Vata Dosha? Try Shirodhara. This deeply relaxing and nurturing treatment involves the continuous pouring of warm medicated oil over the forehead, using a pot with a tap that controls the flow of oil. 😍

Looking to Pacify Pitta Dosha? Try Ksheeradhara. The milk is processed with herbs having cooling potency (sheeta virya) such as chandana/ sandalwood, yasthimadhu/ licorice, amalaki/ indian gooseberry, musta and shatavari. Ksheeradhara has great benefits in the treatment of insomnia, psychological imbalance, mental tension, stress, excess heat, burning sensation in the eyes and body, migraines, premature greying and headaches due to Vata and Pitta imbalance.🔥

Looking to Pacify Kapha Dosha? Try Takradhara. Takradhara is known to be effective in improving the health of chronic skin conditions. The buttermilk is prepared with Ayurvedic herbs suitable for you.

It is best to speak with your Ayurvedic practitioner regarding which treatment will be most suitable for you. Bookings available online.

If you have any questions you are welcome to call or visit the clinic during business hours, Monday to Saturday from 9am-4.30pm. 🪷🪷🪷

Ayurvedic Practitioner Karma did our first Ksheeradhara for the summer season.🌞🌞🌞
Karma is originally from Bhutan and graduated with a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery from the National Institute of Ayurveda in Jaipur. 🫶

Ksheeradhara is such a wonderful treatment to cool the body and mind. We choose this treatment for our patient complaining with premature greying and hair loss.

Ksheeradhara is a therapeutic application of medicated ksheera/ milk with a rhythmic flow on the forehead.
Such a beautiful feeling. ☺️💗

The cow’s milk is processed with herbs having cooling potency (sheeta virya) such as candana/ sandalwood, yasthimadhu/ licorice, musta and shatavari.🌿🌿🌿

Ksheeradhara has great benefits in the treatment of insomnia, psychological imbalance, mental tensions, excess heat, burning sensation in the head and eyes, hair fall, premature greying and headaches due to Vata Pitta imbalance.😀

Who doesn’t need this on a hot summer day and leading up to the busy time of the year 🌞🌞

To see if this treatment is suitable for you, you are welcome to call us on ph: 0406810547 or email: info@lakshmiayurveda.com.au or book a consultation with one of our Ayurvedic practitioners.

We wish you a beautiful Sunday 🪷
