"A herbal tea a day...thats what inner doctor say." 🌿💚

🤧Recovering from a bout of covid with lots of congestion and these SUPER EASY spiced herbal teas with lemon, ginger, black pepper and basil are doing wonders for recovery (along with gentle pranayam and lots of sleep!).

🥘Literally just boil for 5-10 minutes, let it cool and sip! Remember - only add honey if its completely cooled or better yet, have the honey on a spoon and lick between sips!

All of the above plants are heating or pungent and help to burn up and purge our congestion and catarrh..👌👌

What a whopping change in heat this last week? Is it pushing your pitta over the edge? 🔥 are you getting heart burn or lose motions?

If, so switch up that acidic heating morning coffee for a cooling, green tea 🍵

Green tea is bitter, astringent and alkaline (and so pitta reducing by its opposite qualities) making it the ideal gut healing beverage on a Monday morning, particularly if you have had one too many summer ciders 🤭

🥕Now Ayurveda is not strictly vegetarian, being heavy and nourishing meat is useful for maintaining Vata/brain/nerves and supportive in Autumn and Winter when (eating seasonally) fresh produce is limited. In the cold months we need heavier/fattier nutrition to stay warm...that said PASSIONATELY advocate small amounts of high quality, fresh fresh animal produce 👌🏻

Cheap meat is packed with a HORRIFYING amount of antibiotics, growth hormones and chemicals that interrupt the body's endocrine system and increase the likelihood of gut disease, toxicity and cancer 😫
...and don't even get us started on the "care" of the animals 🐮....

LUCKILY it's never ever been easier to eat non-animal bases produce 💜 Soooo...swap that steak for seitan, make the move to mushrooms, learn to love your lentils and get let those cheeky chick peas make your day cheerful!

Your body, the planet and the animals will thank you 🙏🏻

Oxford University research also finds pescatarians have 10% reduced risk compared with those who eat meat regularly

Happy twosday! 🥰

You may be feeling ungrounded, fragile, shaky, nervous or anxious due to the excessive winds 💨 These are symptoms of excess vata so make sure to nourish and protect vata/nerves this week 🤗

My 5 hot tips for staying grounded and calm

🔥 Eat warm slightly sweeter (think root veg), slightly sour and lightly spiced foods with cardamom, cinnamom, ginger and add a little ghee (unless your pitta is too high!)

🧘‍♀️Don't overdo it, keep busy but make time to stay centred, focus on your breathing and think of the gifts you are grateful for

🛁Take a warm bath, ideally with a herbal bath oil to prevent muscle stiffness

🍵 Stay warm and drink herbal tea, ideally with warming spices (again, unless your pitta is high)

🧣If you do go outside, wrap up warm and protect yourself from the elements, particularly your EARS! Excess wind in the ears can cause headaches, tinnitus and increase vata/nerve stimulation in the head.

🌟BONUS tip: If you suffer from constipation (not going daily), try magnesium salts, triphala or a small dose of Castor oil to clear the gut!
