People often assume Ayurveda is against “modern” or “western” medicine. This is not the case. Modern medicine is vital for acute and emergency health crises.

Meanwhile, Ayurveda encourages us to work with the rhythms of nature to prevent ill-health and treat chronic (long-term) conditions by using a personalised system of diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine, yoga and massage therapies.

There’s so much more to Ayurveda than the doshas but they are an excellent starting point for getting to know what works for you as unique human-being. People are often surprised to hear that there are two things to consider when looking at your doshic balance: Prakriti which is your genetic constitution, and Vikriti which is your current state of health.

Understanding Prakriti helps us to identify diet and lifestyle features which are most suited to our own constitution while being aware of Vikriti is tells when we are out of kilter and what tools we need to bring things back into balance.

Ever wondered what makes Ayurveda so unique? It's all about tailoring healthcare to you. I created this bespoke herbal blend to meet the specific needs of one of today’s clients, highlighting the importance of working with a qualified practitioner who can identify your Prakriti (genetic constitution) and Vikriti (current state of health) and manage treatment accordingly.

In my practice I strive to demystify Ayurveda, helping people understand its principles and how they can be applied to lead healthy, fulfilling lives - mentally, physically and spiritually. The beauty of Ayurveda lies in its adaptability; it is a living science that evolves to meet the needs of different times, cultures and individuals.

February continues to be rather soggy and a bit chilly so it’s great that there’s still plenty of hearty veg around to add to warming soups and stews. Carrots, parsnips and swedes are centre stage but leafy greens and cabbages are playing a good supporting role and will soon take over from the roots as spring arrives.

Apples and pears stoically march on as it’s still too cold for most other fruits in the UK. Although not local to the UK, Seville oranges are in season right now. They have a bitter, zesty flavour which makes it perfect for marmalade. Why not unleash your inner Paddington and have a go at marmalade making (or at least eating).

Staple herbs such as Rosemary continue to deliver. Rosemary is great for aiding digestion, has good anti-inflammatory effects and has a particular affinity for coughs, colds and catarrh making it a fantastic herb to get into your cooking wherever possible at this time of year.
