Most “cleanses” ask you to pause life. Real Ayurveda meets you inside life. No drama, no starvation—just a week of intelligent rhythms that rekindle agni (digestive/metabolic fire), melt āma (accumulated residue), and open the srotas (channels). Think of this not as a...

You’ve seen the headlines: 3-day cleanses, miracle juices, celebrity fasts. You try one, feel lighter for a moment, then bounce back into cravings, fatigue, or brain fog. The word “detox” has been hijacked by marketing. The body, meanwhile, has always been quietly...

Stress is no longer an occasional visitor — for most professionals today, it feels like a constant companion. The mind races, the breath shortens, and the body feels like it’s carrying invisible weight. But here’s the timeless secret: stress cannot survive in the...

Close your eyes for a moment and chant a soft “Oṁ” aloud. Feel the vibration in your chest, your throat, your head. Notice how the sound seems to ripple beyond your body — as if it belongs to the universe itself. This is no coincidence. In Vedic wisdom, Oṁ (ॐ) is not...

In my last post, we explored how Ayurveda recognizes three unique functional humors doshas: Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha. Each of us is a living blend of these energies, with one or two usually more dominant. But here’s the challenge: we’re no longer living in the quiet...
