Luminary Ayurveda and Holistic Wellness

According to Ayurvedic principles, human physiology is classified into three main categories: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Imbalances in these categories manifest as various health issues. Vata imbalances are characterized by degenerative disorders, whereas Pitta imbalances are marked by inflammatory conditions. Kapha imbalances, conversely, are associated with congestion and growths.

These three imbalances are regarded as the underlying cause of all diseases. Herbs and plants can aid in rebalancing the physiology by categorizing them into six distinct tastes: sweet, pungent, bitter, salty, astringent, and sour. Each taste has a specific balancing role in the body!

Tomorrow wraps up Day #10 of the Fall Gut Reset/Detox. I’m reminded when I do these of how much better I feel! The one thing that stood out to me is how much deeper I’m sleeping. 😴 From an Ayurvedic perspective, a detox is recommended twice a year. Cheers with the not-so-delicious detox tea to the 33 of you who did this with me!

🥗 A new way to look at food 🥗

09/16/2025

Stubborn weight can have different root causes:
-Hormone imbalance
-Imbalanced digestion/toxins
-Unprocessed emotions
-Poor food choices

Each root cause is very different, and all of these things are balanced in the physiology in different ways. Lifestyle choices, daily routine, using food as medicine, and herbal remedies are all tried and true ways to get the scales to budge.

And remember, true health and wellness is not a number, but rather the state of your digestion, the strength of your tissues, and a peaceful state of mind.
