Love spring wild foraging and adding some juicy bitters to my foods, as part of balanced, wholesome diet. Ayurveda sees seasonal changes as an opportunity to find alignment with nature through letting go what no longer serves and adjusting our bodies~minds to ever changing outside conditions. Like now, we are in kapha season, known for its heavy, wet, dense and cold qualities. Knowing Ayurvedic principles: Like attracts Like and the Opposite brings Balance, we then want to introduce more foods and activities that will contribute to promoting warmth, flow, dryness and lightness. Luckily we need to look no further than what grows on our doorsteps. Abundance of wild bitter greens right now that with their drying and cleansing nature, gently support body’s natural processes of detoxification and bring more flow to our systems (drying ama). Bitter taste (tikta) promotes the flavour of other tastes (rasa) and with its dry and light quality it kindles digestive fire (agni). It increases vata (+) and decreases pitta (-) and kapha (-). It provides relief to inflammatory conditions like burning sensation, itching or other pitta related skin disorders. In minimum amounts it improves digestion and relieves intestinal gas. In moderate amount it is good for pancreas, introversion of the mind and self - awareness. We can find this flavour primarily in wild bitter greens, turmeric, aloe vera, dandelion root, cacao, tea, fenugreek, coriander, chamomile, neem oil, cleavers, nettle leaf and lettuce 🥬

Pink Full Moon 🌕 in Libra illuminating the sacred balance balance between self and other. This moon carries the frequency of renewal, reminding us that true harmony is something we create through alignment and remembering.. and that peace can only be created within us, not found on the outside..

I’ve been welcoming this spring and new beginnings in Nature cycles with Ayurvedic ancient wisdom and arrival of ‚Ayurvedic recipes’ booklets. Very happy to see this creation has come into fruition in form of beautifully crafted sustainable A5 prints from outstanding ♻️ Printed on recyclable material made of elephant poo 120 gsm and 280 gsm cover paper 🐘 as an alternative source of fibre, helping to reduce deforestation🌲

It’s a collection of 9 simple recipes made with Ayurvedic principles to balance 5 great elements within us and kindling our agni, the digestive fire that supports our physical - mental - spiritual balance. An inspiration for eating mindfully, locally and with changing seasons, so we can feel comfortable in our bodies and grow gracefully.

Let’s explore some herbs and spices that can support us in seasonal transition, as we are moving through the spring now. In spring, nature comes to life and with it our body enters transitionary period of shading what’s stagnant and heavy. After winter kapha dosha may increase causing symptoms like lethargy, heaviness, lack of motivation, sinus problems and seasonal allergies. These can build up especially if there was a lack of exercise and the diet was heavy and full of fats. After slower winter times as we want to bring lightness, clarity and vitality, it’s worth supporting body’s natural cleansing processes and stimulate agni - digestive capacity. Ayurveda offers few herbs that can be particularly helpful in balancing kapha dosha:

🌱 Dandelion - blood purification - digestive suport - metabolism - liver function - elimination of toxins and weight loss - bitter

🌱 Turmeric - anti-inflammatory - anti-oxidant - supports digestion and metabolism- blood purification and production of new blood cells - unclog body energetic channels - bitter - pungent

🌱 Tulsi / Holy Basil - antiviral - immunomodulatory - adaptogenic - immune and respiratory pathways support - balances all three doshas - pungent - bitter

🌱 Triphala (Haritaki, Amalaki, Bibhitaki) - balancing three doshas - boosts immunity - rejuvenative - astringent - tonic - restores normal tone of the function of the body - probiotic

🌱 Stinging Nettles - anti-inflammatory - tonic - restores normal tone of the function of the body - supports blood purification and elimination of toxins (ama) - urinary and nervous system

🌱 Aloe Vera - bitter tonic for digestive system - helps purify and and cool the blood - supports the health and youthfulness of the skin and hair - boosts metabolism and reduces excess of fat tissue

Remember the less is more and simple, regular, balanced meals (containing 6 tastes) is what’s gonna support the body’s natural intelligence and bring the best results.

Hope you can flow though this season with much ease, lightness and clarity.

With Love,

15/02/2026

Exploring natural environments, wild foraging and discovering beauty present by coasts, is one of my favourite activities to engage with. It helps me to connect to nature’s seasons and be more aligned to these ever changing cycles. Being by the sea makes you notice salty flavours present in many things 🪸
One of Ayurveda’s 6 tastes, salty (lavana rasa) is made up of water and fire elements. The fire element gives it that heating and warming quality and helps digestion when consumed in moderation. Therefore It’s good for Vata types, and for the same reason, less for Pitta. Water in salty taste provides heavy and nourishing quality, that keeps us grounded. It tends to create weight gain through stimulating water retention in Kapha types but do not increase our capacity for weight gain as much as sweet taste. Taken in moderation promotes growth, maintains electrolyte balance in the body, stimulates digestion, and provides energy and muscular strength (mamsa dhatu). It enhances confidence, courage and enthusiasm. Without any salty taste in food we aggregate Vata dosha, loose creativity, become dull, depressed and fatigue, and lack interest in life. Excess use of salt can aggravate Kapha and Pitta, but particularly sea salt, table salt and salt present in processed foods. It contributes to fainting, wrinkles, irritation, exhaustion and inflammation of the stomach.
Lavana comes from natural sources such as mineral rock salt, sea vegetables (seaweeds), algae, tomatoes and juicy vegetables. Particularly sea vegetables, they are full of minerals and nutrients that the body can easily absorb and counter the effect of radiation. Use in moderate amounts and cook into your food rather than adding after cooking. Enjoy exploring salty flavour with other 5 tastes to maintain your doshas balance and Agni happy 🌝

Seasonal cycles are most tangible examples of how we are part of much greater living and breathing organism. These ever changing rhythms have big impact on all life on the planet, governing the growth of plants, animals and other life forms. With each season there is constant shift of conditions that have a distinct effect on our metabolism. After hot and dry summer, cold and rough months are a good opportunity for our bodies to replenish, rebuild and grow.

How can we naturally support our health in Vata season?

💨 fresh, local food at all times of year will support your state of balance
💨 best to eat simply prepared regular meals (with all 6 tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, astringent, bitter)
💨 consume your meals warm with attitude of gratitude, for best support of your Agni - digestive capacity
💨 Ayurveda teaches that ‘like increases like and the opposites bring balance’ so to balance cold, dry, hard Vata, we need to take in about warm, moist and well lubricated foods with slight increase of sweet, salty and sour flavours
💨 use oils like ghee or sesame for deeper lubrication and warmth
💨 keep your airway passage clear with regular neti pot nostril and sinus rinse
💨 relaxing self oil massage ‘abhyanga’ is a great nourishing practice for the whole body; supports proper circulation, lymph drainage, improves sleep pattern and softens the skin
💨 silent time and regular meditation practice brings about Sattva (harmony, clarity and peace)
💨 warm colours like golds, yellows and reds will help to harmonise Vata
💨 honour your body’s needs to stay connected and grounded through seasonal changes

Remember that LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Choosing even one practice that you can commit to regularly, can bring positive long lasting effect!

Share in a comment, what is your favourite nourishing practice this Vata season?

Thank you for showing up at ‘Nature connections with Ayurveda’ today. Was happy and honoured to share on how to find balance in seasons of nature (Pitta - late spring - summer) though diet, lifestyle, management of creative energy and sleep, as these are the 4 pillars of Ayurvedic wisdom. Weaving this ancient knowledge while being outdoors felt like a great match. We went though some guided meditative, grounding practice to start with.. and continued to take a mild walk along the stream to notice and harvest some wildly botanicals that are present right now (meadow sweet, wide leaf plantain, female nettle seeds, raspberry fruit and leaf, goosegrass, bay leaf etc.) Due to my foot being swollen (from wasp 🐝 sting), we decided to engage with creative activity of capturing nature visually. Simply by pausing and engaging with our senses, we found inspiring flow for creativity to be expressed onto blank piece of paper. Discovering meadow sweet plant as a great mild sedative and painkiller was well times with my foot complaint as well 😉 All that was enjoyed with pitta reducing tea made of fennel, coriander and cumin seeds. Thank you nature, for your infinite inspiration and support giving with what we really need, so we can feel balanced and aligned with ever changing cycles, within and outside of us.
We are having 2 more Sundays of ‘Nature connections with Ayurveda’ this July 20,27/7), which I warmly invite you to. More info on these series of walks are at previous post 🔁 If you have extra questions and/or are interested in booking your space, just DM or e-mail: ajnaspace8@gmail.com🌛
