Love plants? Love being creative? Thursday, May 29th from 6pm-8pm at Traditions School of Herbal Studies we'll be exploring Botanical Art. We’ll incorporate flowers and leaves as our medium to create prints, leaf rubbings, watercolor collages, and mandalas. We'll explore the garden for inspiration and meet some new plant allies. Several stations will be set up inside to get messy and creative. This is a beautiful way to connect with plant medicine on a deeper level. Register below-link is the comments --->

As spring approaches, Ayurvedic wisdom calls us to lighten up. 🦋 This reflects everything from eating lighter foods, playing and moving more, wearing lighter colors, etc. I've switched from my usual eggs and cooked dark leafy greens for breakfast to mixing it up with some chia seed pudding. It's super easy to make-You just mix chia seeds with your milk of choice (I used oat) and let it sit and gel up. I also like to mix in protein powder: Kachava or Garden of Life are the two brands I like because they are food based. Getting 20g of protein in the morning can be a game changer. Topped with warm organic berries (more cost effective than fresh). Warming the berries supports the digestive fire. 🔥 I also add Chai masala spices to energetically warm up this slightly colder dish. If you don't have that on hand you can just sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Lastly I've topped it with some grain free granola and pepitas. Chia seeds contain lots of healthy Omega fatty acids, fiber and are moistening, soothing the gut lining and hydrating our cells. Berries are also fiber and antioxidant rich. Pumpkin seeds are full of magnesium and other trace minerals that we are as a population typically deficient in (soil quality). What's your favorite spring breakfast? How are you feeling lighter or altering your habits as the seasonal shift approaches? 🌱✨

One of the most common patterns I see as a clinical herbalist is low stomach acid or from an Ayurvedic lens, low agni or digestive fire. Stress, toxins, poorer food choices due to soil quality etc, and eating processed food on the go vs eating slow food mindfully are some root causes. As a result, it's harder to digest both animal and plant protein and starts being (sometimes subconsciously) avoided. This leads to nutrient deficiencies and often low Ferritin levels, which is the lab value (not usually tested) most indicative of iron levels in my experience. Fatigue, hair loss, anxiety and insomnia follow. Below are some examples of iron rich food. If you struggle to digest these foods, pairing meals with a Betaine HCL supplement or Digestive Bitters can be a game changer.

If you'd like to learn more about ways to boost your digestive fire and up your game food wise, join Hillary Hepp and I at Traditions School of Herbal Studies on Saturday March 22nd from 9am-1pm for a half day workshop where we will cover these topics in depth along with cooking and eating several prana rich Ayurvedic dishes together. 🔥🌱✨Registration link in the comments below 👇

My friends that know me well know that I only speak when I have something important to be said (on socials or in real time). Every year, especially living in Florida where the winter often becomes our active season because the weather is beautiful, I see that things are speeding up instead of slowing down. This is naturally the time of year to slow down and go inward in all of traditional medicine (Ayurveda and TCM) and yet our culture dictates that this should be the busiest and most chaotic time of the year. I would urge you to go against the grain, say no to anything that doesn't feed your soul, and take time to quietly be with yourself. I'm not perfect and fall victim to it myself, but in my heart I know that we desperately need this season to slow down, go inward and reflect, letting go of what is no longer needed or serving us(this feels clique but is the truth). Honor your body/mind/spirit and nature's rhythms. Just be and stop doing for even a moment. Go stare off in the distance at some trees or a sunset, put your bare feet on the earth, have a fire and just stare at it or burn some of your musings, take a warm bath (throw some herbs in if you have them...Tulsi and Rose stand out) and just BE. Stop doing for a moment. You will thank yourself later. Love to you all in this (unnecessarily) stressful season, which is meant to be our hibernation. 😴 🐻🌕✨

Digestion is such a key component of our health and yet clinically something I see so many struggle with. The beautiful tradition of Ayurveda reveres the art of "kitchen medicine," incorporating delicious, supportive spices and herbs directly into nourishing food. This carries the medicine more deeply into our tissues especially when ghee is added as a carrier. This Thursday, July 18th at Traditions School of Herbal Studies we'll be covering 5 Ayurvedic Herbal powerhouses to support the digestive system. We'll touch on mindful eating, how to create a balanced herbal formula and make medicine together (bring a 4oz jar along with you). Knowledge is power! Come to receive this beautiful medicine and wisdom that's been passed down for 5000 years. 🌿✨💚

✨ The ultimate guide 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅, 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍. ✨

Do you feel like something is missing in your life?

🤔 What if finding that missing piece is as easy as nourishing yourself?

👉🏼 This is what Ayurveda is all about.

✨ Ayurveda means science of life and is an ancient practice that views health as a dynamic balance between body, mind, and spirit.

✨ It categorizes individuals into three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—representing unique combinations of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth.

✨ Ayurveda emphasizes personalized lifestyle practices, including diet, exercise, herbal remedies, and daily routines, to maintain and restore balance in the body and promote overall well-being.

🙌🏼 Once we know more about ourselves and learn our dosha, we can begin to put practices in place to find that balance we are looking for.

What is your favorite way to nourish yourself? 🤗
