Triveda

Triveda The objective of Triveda is to help you maintain balance and restore health through diet, lifestyle,

Triveda was founded in 2009 after working for 2 years within established Ayurvedic Clinics in London; Shymala Ayurveda in Holland Park and Ayuspa in Kenton. I wanted to start my own business and specialise in certain chronic conditions that I have seen Ayurveda providing great results with. This page is primarily to provide with lifestyle and dietary tips based on Ayurvedic principles.

As nature transitions from spring into summer, Ayurveda encourages us to do the same.

This period is known as Ritu Sandhi, the meeting point between two seasons. Traditionally lasting around 14 days, it is considered one of the most important times of year to pay attention to our health.

The body is adapting to longer days, warmer temperatures and changing environmental conditions. Spring's Kapha has not completely cleared, while summer's Pitta is beginning to rise. It's often during this transition that we notice allergies, skin flare-ups, digestive changes, fatigue or feeling slightly out of sync.

Rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, Ayurveda shows us how to make small seasonal adjustments before imbalance takes hold.
A few simple ways to support yourself during this transition:
🌿 Eat lighter, seasonal foods
🌿 Support digestion with simple spices such as cumin, coriander and fennel
🌿 Begin introducing naturally cooling foods and herbs
🌿 Move your body daily to clear lingering stagnation
🌿 Create grounding daily rituals that bring consistency and calm.

Ritu Sandhi is also a wonderful opportunity to pause and reflect.

What would you like to leave behind from spring, and what would you like to cultivate this summer? I'd love to hear your answer below.

When I was 16, my Dad enrolled our whole family into Transcendental Meditation. At the time, it felt incredibly strange.

As a teenager, sitting quietly for 20 minutes twice a day with my eyes closed felt almost impossible at first. My mind would wander constantly, and I remember wondering how this could possibly be helping anything.

But slowly, something began to shift.

What first felt unfamiliar became a quiet space I began looking forward to. A feeling of deep rest. Calm. Expansion. Almost like the mind was not on a constant loop of thoughts and reactions.

Over time, meditation became part of our family rhythm. Morning and evening, we would all quietly disappear into our own corners of the house to meditate. Looking back now, there was something incredibly grounding and comforting about that shared ritual.

Transcendental Meditation is a simple mantra-based practice which allows the mind to settle beyond the constant noise of thought into a quieter state of awareness.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, practices like meditation help calm the nervous system, reduce excess Vata and cultivate more Sattva; clarity, steadiness and peace within the mind.

Life still brings challenges, uncertainty and change, but meditation gave me a different relationship with them. Not because life became easier, but because my mind slowly became quieter and less reactive.

It taught me that beneath all the movement and noise of life, there is another part of ourselves that remains still, quiet and untouched. A deep inner stillness where, for a few moments, the mind simply rests.

Years later, this still remains one of the greatest gifts my Dad ever gave us.

In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, meditation reminds us there is an entire universe within us too. Sometimes doing less allows us to feel so much more.

Do you have a daily ritual that brings you a sense of peace or stillness? I would love to know what that is.

Mental Health Awareness Week often focuses on the things we can add into our lives to feel better. A new ritual, supplement, morning routine or mindfulness practice.

And whilst these can absolutely support the nervous system, Ayurveda and Yoga have long recognised that mental wellbeing is shaped by something deeper too. The stories, perceptions and emotional imprints we carry within us.

In Yogic philosophy, these impressions are known as Samskaras. The subtle imprints left by past experiences, emotions, memories and repeated thought patterns. Over time, these Samskaras begin to shape how we perceive ourselves, others and the world around us.

A mind shaped by fear may begin expecting danger everywhere.
A mind shaped by criticism may constantly search for what is wrong.
A mind shaped by disappointment may slowly stop trusting life altogether.

Ayurveda teaches that when the Doshas become disturbed, these tendencies can deepen further. An aggravated Vata mind may spiral into fear, anticipation and overthinking. A disturbed Pitta mind may become harsh, perfectionistic or self-critical. An imbalanced Kapha mind may hold onto emotional heaviness, attachment or withdrawal.

Over time, the nervous system begins responding not only to reality, but to the internal narratives the mind has repeated for so long they begin to feel true.

This is why healing is never only physical. Often healing begins with awareness. Pausing long enough to question whether the story the mind is repeating is actually true. Because awareness creates space. And in that space, we begin responding consciously instead of living from old conditioning and automatic patterns.

True resilience is not created through one wellness practice alone, but through balance across the entire ecosystem of body, mind and spirit. Clarity arises when the mind becomes steadier, quieter and more balanced.

So the next time your mind goes into overdrive, pause for a moment and ask yourself: “Is this thought true?”

Have you ever wondered where in the world your Doshas would feel completely at home?

We talk so much about food, routines, herbs, but what about the place you live in? The air, the pace of life, the weather, the light, it all quietly shapes how you feel each day.

And when it doesn’t quite match your constitution, your body ends up working a little harder behind the scenes. But when it does, you sleep deeply, think clearly, and everything just feels a bit easier.

I’ve always been curious about this (naturally 😄), so I followed my curiosity (and couldn’t resist)…I asked ChatGPT. Yes, yes, I know, the jury is still out on AI, but you have to admit, it’s a bit of fun.

Interestingly, I’m a Pitta–Vata (PV) constitution and I’ve been to Ubud twice now.
Each time, there’s been a sense of ease I can’t quite explain. The people, culture and pace of life and lush surroundings. It’s one of the few places I’ve visited where I’ve thought, I could actually live here.

Have you ever visited a place that made you feel similar?

Swipe to find your Dosha’s “ideal” destination ✨
And tell me did it get it right?

Or if you could escape anywhere right now, where would your body choose? Share below I would love to know.

Some of the most consistent improvements I see in clinic
often come from simple, daily practices.

Nasya with Anu Tailam is one of them.

In Ayurveda, the nasal passages are considered the primary pathway to the head and sinuses. Supporting this area regularly can have a direct impact on how we breathe, think, and feel.

Used daily, Anu Tailam helps to:
• lubricate and protect the nasal passages
• support healthy sinus function and drainage
• reduce the impact of seasonal allergens
• bring clarity and steadiness to the mind

Over time, many also notice improved sleep, as breathing becomes more open and less restricted. Available in 10ml and 30ml sizes via our website.

Every year it’s the same story…
The weather gets nicer.
The pollen rises.
And suddenly your nose won’t stop running.

Hay fever symptoms happen when your immune system releases histamine in response to pollen, causing swelling, mucus, sneezing and irritation.

If you struggle with hay fever, you’re not alone and you’re not “overreacting.”

Your nasal lining is simply irritated and overwhelmed.

Instead of waiting for symptoms to explode, Ayurveda focuses on prevention.

A daily practice called Nasya using a few drops of Anu Tailam in the nostrils supports:

• A healthier nasal barrier
• Calmer inflammatory response
• Better resilience to allergens
• More balanced histamine activity

It takes less than a minute but done consistently, it can change your entire allergy season.

If spring usually wipes you out, this may be worth exploring.

Save this post so you remember before symptoms flare.

Small daily support. Big seasonal relief.

Today is the Spring Equinox, a moment where day and night stand in perfect balance.

At last, we can see a gentle shift in the season. Winter begins to loosen its hold, bringing brighter days, longer evenings and around us, nature starts to awaken. There is a sense of hope and excitement in the air!

Across cultures, this time of year has long been recognised as a point of renewal. In ancient agricultural traditions, the equinox signalled the beginning of the growing season, a return to planting, nourishment, and the promise of what is to come.

In India, today also marks the Hindu New Year and the beginning of Chaitra Navratri, nine days dedicated to different forms of Goddess Durga, each representing strength, wisdom, discipline, and transformation.

This time is celebrated across the country in different ways:
• Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra
• Ugadi in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
• Navreh in Kashmir
• The start of Vikram Samvat in many northern regions

While traditions may vary, the essence remains the same, renewal, new beginnings, and a reconnection with something deeper.

What I find most meaningful about this time is how closely it follows the rhythm of nature.

Unlike January, which arrives in the depth of winter, this new year comes when everything around us is beginning again. After months of slowing down, reflecting, and turning inward, there is a natural readiness to move forward.

It feels less forced, and more aligned.

It is a day that bridges the cosmic and the earthly, reminding us of our connection to the natural cycles of time and that growth comes through balance.

Wishing you a joyful Spring Equinox and a happy Hindu New Year ✨

Every family has one.

A woman who quietly holds everything together.

Across many traditional cultures, the wisdom of the Matriarch was deeply honoured.

In India, elders were seen as the keepers of Parampara, the living thread of knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Grandmothers carried the stories, the remedies, the rituals, and the memory of a lineage.

Among many Native American traditions, grandmothers were revered as wisdom keepers of the tribe, sometimes forming what is known as the Grandmother Council, guiding decisions and protecting the spirit of the community.

Across cultures, the Matriarch was rarely loud.
But she was powerful.
She carried memory.
She carried truth.
She carried the light.

I took this photograph on my last trip to India.

She was sitting surrounded by her family; children, grandchildren, voices moving around her, yet there was a quiet gravity to her presence. You could feel that she was the centre of it all. The one who held the stories, the history, the thread that binds a family together.

This is the essence of the Matriarch.

The woman who has walked through the seasons of life and returned with wisdom.
In a world that often celebrates speed and youth, the Matriarch reminds us of something deeper, the sacred power of experience, patience, and memory.

Yet many older women today feel unseen or unheard.

Perhaps this International Women’s Day is an invitation to restore reverence for our elders, to sit with them, listen to their stories, and recognise them for what they truly are:
Our living libraries.
Our keepers of memory.
Our quiet light bearers.

✨ Today, take a moment to honour the women who came before you.
Who is the matriarch in your life?

05/03/2026

One of the most common things women tell me during perimenopause and menopause is:
“I’m gaining weight around my middle, and I can’t seem to shift it.”
Even when diet and lifestyle haven’t changed, many women notice that fat begins to accumulate around the abdomen rather than the hips and thighs.

This shift is very common and often linked to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen. As oestrogen levels fall, the body becomes more likely to store fat around the abdomen rather than the hips and thighs. This type of fat is called visceral fat.
Visceral fat sits deep within the abdominal cavity and surrounds organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.

Unlike fat stored around the hips and thighs, visceral fat is metabolically active and is associated with increased risk of:
• Cardiovascular disease
• Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
• Metabolic syndrome
• High blood pressure
• Fatty liver disease
• Chronic inflammation

This is why looking only at BMI or body weight can be misleading.
A more helpful indicator is the Waist–Hip Ratio (WHR), which looks at fat distribution rather than weight alone.

How to measure it
1. Measure your waist at the narrowest part of your torso (or just above the belly button).
2. Measure your hips at the widest part.
3. Divide waist by hips.

Example:
70 cm ÷ 90 cm = 0.78
For women, a ratio below 0.85 is generally considered healthier.

In Ayurveda, abdominal fat accumulation is often linked to Kapha imbalance and weakened Agni (digestive and metabolic fire).

When Agni becomes sluggish, the body may struggle to properly transform nutrients. Over time this can lead to the formation of Ama (metabolic toxins) and accumulation in meda dhatu (fat tissue).

Supporting Agni, digestion, movement and daily rhythms becomes especially important during this stage of life.
