Freshly foraged in spring, stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a hidden gem 🌿✨

Nettle tea is not just nourishing—it’s incredibly soothing for the throat. Packed with vitamins and natural anti-inflammatory goodness, it helps calm irritation, ease dryness, and support your body when you’re feeling run down.

A simple cup of wild nettle tea = comfort, care, and a little taste of spring 💚

Just back from the doctor’s who’s confirmed I have laryngitis so these wonderful herbs from couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

🌿 Thalisadi Churna is a traditional Ayurvedic powder typically containing herbs such as long pepper, ginger, and cardamom. In Ayurveda, it’s used to:
• Soothe throat irritation
• Reduce cough and mucus
• Support clearer voice and breathing
• Balance “Kapha” (linked to congestion)

🌿 An Ashwagandha + Shatavari blend is a powerful rejuvenative (rasāyana) in Ayurveda—helping the body restore, rebalance, and rebuild 🌱

✨ Ashwagandha
→ Strengthens + reduces stress
→ Supports energy, recovery & calm

✨ Shatavari
→ Cools + nourishes
→ Soothes dryness & supports immunity

⚖️ Together:
Balance heat + hydration
Build resilience + restore vitality + ojas ‘vitality and immunity’
Support long-term energy, immunity & voice

💫 It’s time to restore, replenish, reset!

If you’re an Ayurvedic practitioner looking for excellent quality, certified formulated herbs, I can wholeheartedly recommend

🌿✨ Starting my Ayurvedic cleanse! ✨🌿

Over the last two months, I’ve had excess mucus (Kapha imbalance) on and off, and the past two days I haven’t had a voice—so it feels like the perfect time to gently detox. 💛

I’m beginning with Agni Deepana (digestive fire enhancement) using:
• Pre-meal ginger & lime to awaken digestion 🌱
• Tailored Kichari – (photo 1) a nourishing, easy-to-digest dish made from mung beans and rice, perfect for supporting digestion and gently cleansing the body 🍚
• CCF (cumin, coriander, fennel) tea and dandelion root tea (photo 2), using dandelions picked from my allotment, to support elimination and reduce Kapha ☕

I’m waiting for Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Thalisadi churna to arrive from the lovely —then I’ll include those into my dinacharya. Thalisadi churna is a classic Ayurvedic herbal powder traditionally used to support respiratory and digestive health, helping to clear mucus, stimulate digestion, and support immunity. The Ashwagandha–Shatavari blend is a classic combination in Ayurveda, often used for rejuvenation, vitality, and hormonal support. ✨

This cleanse is not just detox—it’s about resetting my body, supporting Agni, balancing Kapha, and gently nourishing myself. I’ll be sharing reflections and learnings along the way! 🙏

If you’re not feeling your usual healthy self and would like to discuss a plan to bring yourself back into balance, please get in touch for an Ayurvedic consultation.

Yoga, Pranayama & Kriya: Detox & Recharge
Saturday 24th January 2026 | 1:00–3:00 pm

Join us for a deeply nourishing 2-hour yoga workshop designed to cleanse, calm and revitalise your whole system. This session will focus on powerful yet accessible pranayama (breathing techniques) and kriya practices to support natural detoxification, improve energy flow and settle the mind.

Kriya in yoga refers to a set of cleansing and energising practices designed to purify the body, balance the nervous system, and improve the flow of prana (life force).

The workshop will also include slow, deep yoga stretches and twists to release tension and restore balance, followed by a 15-minute guided meditation to integrate the practice and leave you feeling grounded, refreshed and recharged.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, with options to rest throughout. No prior experience of pranayama or kriya is required.

Come as you are — leave feeling lighter, clearer and deeply restored.

£30 (book by January 15th for early booking fee of £20)

Happy Dhanteras!

Today marks the beginning of Diwali and honours Dhanvantari, the God of Ayurveda, the divine healer and physician, associated with the Ayurvedic system of medicine. As the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, he is celebrated for his contributions to health and well-being. Dhanvantari is depicted carrying a pot of amrita (nectar of immortality) in one hand and a medical instrument in the other, symbolising his role for humanity in both healing and immortality.

Dhanvantari’s life and teachings underscore the importance of health, medicine, and holistic wellness, embodying the divine aspect of healing and the restoration of balance in life.

A chant to Lord Dhanvantari to destroy illness, grant good health snd protect from fear is:

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaaya
Dhanvantaraye Amrita-kalasha Hastaaya,
Sarva-maya Vinashaaya Trailokya Naathaya,
Shri Maha-vishnave Namaha

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय धन्वन्तरये अमृतकलश हस्ताय सर्वभय विनाशाय त्रैलोक्यनाथाय श्री महाविष्णवे नमः

Meaning: “I bow down to Lord Dhanvantari, the Lord with four hands carrying a conch, a discus, a leech, and a pot of nectar. His divine play destroys all diseases.”

On this day dedicated to health and well-being may your life shine brighter than gold and your heart glow with joy.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti

✨ Sunday service ✨

Some beautiful gifts were waiting for me at the allotment today. I have harvested oak choi, spinach, rainbow chard, broccoli, green beans and wild nettles. The pumpkins I pulled up last time I came are turning orange which is exciting. I’ll tell the mother-in-law not to buy sprouts for Christmas dinner as it looks like we’re going to have a huge supply! 🎃 🌱 🥒

I had neglected it for about three weeks due to heavy workload (and laziness) but, as the universe teaches, even with the least effort, nature, including us mere mortals, keep breathing and thriving. We don’t need much. Just sunshine, water and a little love ❤️

Happy Sunday x

Om shanti, shanti, shantih ☮️🕉️
