With summer beginning, many people start picking Třezalka (St. John’s Wort)... but here’s what you should know first:

Třezalka tečkovaná has been used as a protective herb in Slavic and Germanic traditions — but IT’S NOT A GENTLE HERB. IT’S POTENT AND POWERFUL.

Used wisely, it can act like a MILD ANTIDEPRESSANT, helping with ANXIETY, LOW MOOD, AND NERVE PAIN, but it’s NOT FOR EVERYONE.

It can interact with medications, disrupt hormones and increase sun sensitivity.

Thinking of using Třezalka this season?
Learn first. Use mindfully. 💚

Ditch retinol. Retinol is widely used in skincare, but it’s not FDA (food and drug administration) approved. Some FDA findings suggest that certain retinoid ingredients might increase the risk of skin tumors and lesions when applied to sun exposed skin.

And that’s why I’d like to introduce you to the natural and plant based alternative to retinol: bakuchi seeds. Bakuchi is a potent herb used in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and the Siddha system for centuries. Its seeds are especially renowned for their skin healing and rejuvenating properties.

I’m offering FREE samples of:
~ Diluted bakuchi seed oil (1:5 ratio with castor oil)
~ Macerated bakuchi seed oil
~ Bakuchi seeds for DIY face masks (recipe in photos)

DM me for your free sample. Limited quantities available.

From endless scrolling to diving deep into digital garden, we opened the glow that never stops. Our faces absorbing artificial brightness and under the surface, there is a storm brewing. Blue light. Cortisol. Microscopic tension. The kind of stuff you don’t see until it starts whispering back. We’re walking around inside this cloud of overstimulation .. and it shows up first in the skin. The skin catches everything. Not just light, but stress, speed, skipping meals, skipping sleep, skipping breath.

At this point, skincare is a way back to our own chemistry. Cooling the noise .. a relief.

The glow we need isn’t the one from a screen. It’s from reset. From oils that remember dirt and sun and plants that don’t rush. Let this be a balm. A break. A quiet rebellion against the chaos.

Here are the oils I’ll introduce in upcoming posts, along with their benefits. I’m currently working on an e-shop, meanwhile, you can order them via DM. I’ll also be offering free samples of some of them.

N E P A L E S E W O M E N, like many others in various parts of the world, still live in a deeply rooted patriarchal society. Girls often have very limited choices in deciding how to live their lives. Many are married young, expected to have children early and take care of family duties. Often with much less chance for education, their own careers, fulfilling their dreams or even the possibility to travel.

Property, including inheritance, mostly stays with men, even though women have recently gained more equal rights to inherit. But cultural resistance is still strong and many women don’t really get to claim their rights.

If a woman does have a job, it’s often in kitchens, housework, hotels or even hard labor like construction. Rarely in leadership or skilled professions.

But I’ve also been told, and I’ve seen it myself, that things are slowly changing and women are opening their own businesses. I saw trekking and guiding companies, small cafés and beautiful craft shops run by women. In some places, buying their products supports girls’ education, skills training and inspires a new generations.

If you ever happen to travel to Nepal and believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities in life, here are some ways to support.

Lakes and mountains and a breeze I welcomed after some time. And the Nepalese people shifted my mind and reminded me once again of what the true treasures in life are. And how rich we can be when surrounded by blue and green.

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic practice performed with warm medicated oil, known for its many holistic health benefits. Self-Abhyanga is a self care Ayurvedic ritual, a gentle variation of full-body massage you can do at home.

Would you like to know how to do it, which oils to use and what it’s actually good for? Swipe through the post and bring a little more nourishment into your daily routine.💧

The text is a bit longer, but for a proper understanding of Ayurveda and its individual approach, I unfortunately can’t make it much shorter.

One thing that I love about Ayurveda is its holistic approach to every single being. It’s nutrition, it’s cooking, exercise, beauty rituals, natural pharmacy, picking herbs at the right time and processing them into different medicines. It’s observing and realizing when imbalanced, it’s all the treatments, the art of relaxation ~ even during busy days. It’s spiritual practice and it’s those sparkles in people’s eyes when they are truly healthy ~ in mind, body and spirit. It’s living in rhythm with nature and our own inner cycles, honoring that health is not static, but always shifting. It’s connection with ourselves, with fire, air, earth, water, and space. And realizing that we are all these five elements. It’s a way of life. Shifts in mind. A path back to ourselves.

And most of all, it’s a cocktail of all these things, mixed differently for each person.

And I believe, while it’s an ancient wisdom, it’s also the future. Once we understand Ayurveda and, if needed, can combine it with Western medicine and modern science, once we learn how to individualize our dinacharyas and our responses to our imbalances, we create for ourselves a holistic path toward well-being.

Ayurveda reminds us that healing is not about fixing, but reconnecting with our true nature. It’s cultivating sattva ~ clarity, peace, and harmony ~ and honoring life as sacred through gratitude, presence and simplicity.

Thank you for having and teaching me.

Let the stillness cultivated in asana not end on the mat.
Let her carry us through the movement of daily life.

Not as something to hold tightly,
to cling to old stories,
familiar resistance,
the comfort of stubbornness.

Let her feed the Agni ~
the inner fire of transformation,
serving to root a soft yet unshaken anchor
in a life that is always changing.

Western medicine doesn’t confirm the need for detoxes, they claim the body cleanses itself. And of course, to some point, that’s true. A healthy lifestyle ~ balanced diet, plenty of water, regular movement, quality sleep and mental well-being ~ naturally supports detoxification processes. On the other hand, poor nutrition, stress, and accumulated environmental toxins can overload the detox organs and a detox can help support their function.

In Ayurveda, detox has been practiced for thousands of years for good reasons. Detox isn’t just about removing toxins from the body, but also about clearing the mind ~ reducing stress, becoming more mindful of what we eat, calming the body and slowing the aging process. The result? Many people feel lighter, more energetic and more vital after a cleanse.

If you’re doing a deep detox, it’s important to choose methods that are safe and fit your individual needs. In Ayurveda, this is different for everyone. It’s not just based on your constitution, but also on the season and time of a day. In spring, all the kapha we’ve accumulated over winter (heavy, damp, slow energy) starts to dissolve, which can lead to a lack of energy. How many times have we heard people say they feel tired when spring arrives? That’s why, in spring, we need to give our Agni a little boost.
