Ancient Ayurvedic Texts — Powerhouses of Medical Insight 📖 These texts show Ayurveda’s advanced, lasting contribution to medicine and wellness.

12/04/2025

I was recently asked, “How do you know what you know?” I was so very surprised by the question. I know what I know because of three things — study of classical Ayurveda (actually reading the ancient Ayurvedic texts), good mentors, and clinical practice.

The ancient Ayurvedic texts are essentially three main works that are about 4-5k years old. They outline everything that’s needed for clinical practice including all types of imbalances, how each imbalance is managed therapeutically using supplements, body treatments and pathya (adherence to a proper routine of meals and lifestyle), as well as preventative health measures and more.

It is the adherence to these texts, guidance from a mentor trained in clinical practice and actual clinical practice (working with clients), that gives the practitioner proper knowledge.

So when I say that napping is contraindicated when the belly is full of food and that fish promotes weight gain and that yogurt clogs the body channels and fish should not be eaten with dairy, and cold food should not be mixed with hot food, and alcohol aggravates hot flashes, I’m not making things up. I’m drawing my knowledge from the ancient texts of Ayurveda and my clinical practice.

Okay Instgrammers, it’s been a rollercoaster of a November. Change came through like a gust of wind. Clients rocked their care plans. Some amazing results were achieved, and some with lifestyle changes alone. So that inspired me. I’m looking for 20 people to participate in a pilot program, using Ayurvedic lifestyle guidelines to establish a feeling of wellness. Who’s with me?

12/01/2025

It's been a minute, but here I am! November has been busy, busy, busy -- lots of women making progress on their health by applying simple Ayurvedic concepts to their unique set of imbalances. Not based in nutrition, not medicine, but something totally different -- rooted in nature's wise ways, aligned with rhythm, flow, and the various qualities of life.🌱

Ayurveda, the science of life, is an incredible complementary tool you can learn to realize wellness for yourself.🌞

I need 20 people for this pilot program. Are you one of them? Sign up for a free 30-minute consultation here: https://perimenopausemassageayurveda.com/book
