Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient Indian system of medicine that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and well-being. This holistic approach to healthcare emphasizes the importance of achieving harmony in the mind, body and spirit to prevent disease and promote optimal health. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of Ayurvedic medicine for preventative care and how it can help you achieve harmony in your life.

Principles of Ayurveda

Ayurvedic medicine is based on the concept of three doshas, or energies, that govern the body and mind: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each person has a unique combination of these doshas, which determines their physical and mental characteristics. When the doshas are in balance, a person is healthy and free from disease. However, when the doshas are out of balance, illness and disease can occur.

Ayurvedic medicine uses a variety of techniques to restore balance and prevent disease, including diet and nutrition, herbal remedies, meditation, and yoga. By identifying a person's dosha type and making lifestyle adjustments to support that type, Ayurvedic medicine aims to promote health and well-being and prevent disease before it occurs.

Laughter meditation is a form of meditation that combines breathing exercises and laughter to promote a sense of well-being, joy, and relaxation. This type of meditation is also known as laughing yoga or laughter therapy, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Laughter meditation is an inner experience. When we laugh we are totally free. We can’t be in the past laughing, or in the future. Laughing brings us to the present moment. Laughter meditation is a cost-effective healing tool used to transform the present moment into child-like playfulness while honoring your inner child. Laughter meditation is strong preventative medicine and has a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit.

Did you know children can laugh up to 400 times a day, versus adults who laugh 15 times a day?

During a laughter meditation session, participants engage in laughter exercises that involve deep breathing, physical movements, and vocalizations. These exercises are designed to trigger laughter and create a positive, relaxed state of mind.

Virtual Vitamins are the digital counterpart to the vitamins we ingest with our food as supplements.

Here are 3 steps to ensure you are taking your virtual vitamins daily:

1. Take inventory. Look at the social media accounts that you follow online and see what you’re being tapped into on a daily basis. Observe how you are feeling when you look at your social media? Are you feeling drained? Are you feeling inspired?

2. Do a virtual cleanse. There is so much power in the images we see everyday, it’s important to switch up the frequency. Every now and then cleanse your virtual online space. Unfollow those accounts that are not up to date or posting inspiring things for you to get your juices going. You are in control of your virtual reality. You’ll be amazed when you delete some accounts, how other accounts that you are aligned with will suddenly come to the forefront.

3. Keep the accounts you are aligned with. The accounts that you follow should reflect what you want to see. This will get your day going in a positive direction because in the morning when you scroll you will be reminded of your joy and light by the images you see.

The mind is a powerful tool and it can also be used as a weapon against you. The TV with the news, and the Internet with social media can be powerful nocebo dosing machines.

You’ve heard of the placebo effect from the Latin: I shall be pleasing or acceptable—when a person feels better from a drug or treatment that doesn’t have any pharmacological or physiological properties, whether they’re aware it’s a placebo or not. The nocebo effect happens in reverse.

Ever wonder why we aren’t seeing tolls of people recovering from Covid-19 on the news? Instead we are constantly hearing and seeing the death tolls posted daily as we watch the news. This is all to create a fear vibration in our psychology that directly impacts our immune system negatively.

Turmeric makes a great beverage!

I promise you once you have this warm, delicious, and healthy beverage called Golden Milk, you will become hooked like me.

Curcumin (Curcuma longa - Haldi) is the key healing compound found in turmeric that makes the spice so healthy for us. It is a very powerful antioxidant, and holds a high place in Ayurvedic medicine as being a “cleanser of the body”.

Bentonite Clay is great for removing toxins.  Toxins are around us every day absorbed into our skin, hair, and body. For centuries people around the world would refer to bentonite clay as the "healing clay". It was used in ancient cultures as a healing method for protecting the body from disease.

Bentonite Clay produces an "electrical charge" and when combined with liquid it literally pulls toxins. This detoxification process occurs because Bentonite clay is comprised mostly of negative ions. The toxins and heavy metals in the body are made of positive ions, and bentonite clay works like a magnet that seeks out and binds to the impurities, helping to eliminate it out of the body.
