SUMMER TIME TIPS!!

Summer time is governed by Pitta.  The following are a few ayurvedic tips to keep you cool & calm during this hot season!

DIET - avoid hot, spicy & pungent foods

              favor foods that are sweet, bitter & astringent

Dairy - milk, butter and ghee are good. Reduce - yogurt, salty cheese & sour cream

Oils - olive, soy & coconut are best. Reduce - sesame, almond & corn.

Fruits - sweet fruits, grapes, melons, avocados, mangos. Reduce - sour fruits, grapefruits, papayas.

Veggies - asparagus, cucumbers, celery, leafy greens, zucchini. Reduce - hot peppers, garlic, spinach, beets, onions.

Spices - coriander, mint, fennel, cardamon. Reduce - ginger, clove, mustard seeds and salt.

Exercise Avoid exercise in the middle of the day when the sun is highest in the sky.  Its best to exercise in the early morning or after the heat of the day has past.  Enjoy swimming, moon light walks and gentle yoga.

I hope these tips help to make your summer more enjoyable!

Ayurvedic Post Partum Care For Mom & Baby

  I feel that while pregnant there is so much time exerted towards being pregnant, finding the right doctor & birth place, yoga classes, preparing your home for baby etc...that the post partum period is very easily overlooked or even thought about. 

   In ayurveda they say "40 days for 40 years of healthy life".  The first 40 days after birthing your baby is a very special & sacred time. During this time mom & baby bond developing a trust that will last a lifetime!  Through ayurvedic nutrition & care you can quickly bring your body back into its natural balance, produce healthy breastmilk & transition smoothly into motherhood.  Ayurveda incorporates body, mind & spirit for optimal health and well being.
