[fusion_separator top_margin="5" bottom_margin="5"][/fusion_separator] The concept of the three Doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – is most people’s route into understanding Ayurveda. It’s easy to grasp how Vata Dosha can be responsible for all movement, Pitta for all transformations and Kapha for all structure in our body and the world around us. But there is a deeper level of this understanding though and the three Doshas have their root or [...]
[fusion_separator top_margin="5" bottom_margin="5"][/fusion_separator] From the Ayurvedic viewpoint, interesting things happen within your body as winter gives way to spring and then spring give way to summer. As spring progresses, the cold, slow, heavy and sticky qualities of Kapha Dosha, that build up during late winter, gradually melt away and this often results in the chest colds and runny noses common in March, April and May. Springtime supports the body’s natural [...]

Peter Brown: The biggest selling herbal within Maharishi AyurVeda, and probably within Ayurveda as a whole, is called Triphala, which means three fruits. What is the purpose of Triphala? What is it good for? Dr Donn Brennan: Triphala is, as you say, probably the most common Ayurveda herbal used in the world – considering the population of India and the global reach of Ayurveda. This herbal has so many good properties. [...]
The making of a herbal masterpiece – what are Rasayanas? In Ayurveda, the term Rasayana is given to anything that enlivens and extends life.

Amlaberry is the fruit of the Amalaki tree – called Indian gooseberry in English. Of all the rasayanas - Ayurvedic formulations revered for their rejuvenating influence on the physiology - Amalaki is considered one of the most potent and nourishing.

Ayurveda is usually translated as ‘the science of life’. Another popular translation is [...]
