The ancient texts of Ayurveda may not speak directly of the microbiome; however, it is undeniable that its importance is observed, as our microbiome is an interwoven aspect of our Agni or digestive fire. They are so related, in fact, that if you are experiencing ongoing digestive issues, it is likely some level of dysbiosis (imbalance in your gut flora) is occurring. Alternatively, a healthy, balanced, and robust digestion is a fairly clear sign of a healthy and harmonious microbiome. What is the microbiome? The microbiome is the term for the trillions of microbes that live on and...

Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle no matter what your age, weight, health goals, or dosha type may be. Ideally, your routine should include a minimum of 30 minutes of “intentional movement” each and every day. However, just as your diet can either create balance or wreak havoc on your system, your exercise regimen can have the same effects. Therefore it is essential to know what your body-type is (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), as well as any imbalance in your system in order to discover the best exercises for you and your current needs. This will help...

Dear Ask Ayurveda, I am a Pitta-Vata individual, although I seem to be dealing with all three doshas out of balance at the moment. With the transition into fall each year I struggle with severe constipation. I believe my Vata becomes increased, which then increases Pitta both in the mind (which leaves me angry and irritated) and in the colon (which dries it out and leads to constipation). My first thought is to try to cool down my Pitta, but this ends up increasing my Kapha and causing a slow digestion, slow metabolism, and weight gain in my lower body. ...

Dear Ask Ayurveda, I was hoping you could talk to us a little about how to balance BOTH Vata and Pitta at the same time. This is particularly tricky for me as my constitution is almost 50/50. If I am feeling Pitta aggravated and I follow the traditional cooling food/lifestyle recommended for Pitta, sometimes it will go too far and I will then become Vata aggravated. My Pitta friends tell me they struggle with this as well. Western culture can be so Vata aggravating with too much computer, video, travel... They are often dealing with Vata aggravation, even though their...

Dear Ask Ayurveda, I am a relatively healthy man in my early 40’s. I eat well, hold an active job and overall feel pretty good most of the time. Although I am fairly health conscious, I have been dealing with this issue of constipation for as long as I can remember. I began to improve my diet in my mid 30’s but the irregularity still continues. It has gotten to the point that I typically miss 2-3 days each week. The days that I can go to the bathroom, it is a lot of work with little reward. I...

Dear Ask Ayurveda, "I am a busy mom from New York. Last summer, I had struggled to try to stay in balance but I seemed to become very irritable (ask my kids!), as my inner "fire" seemed to get a bit out of control due to the hot weather. Despite the excessive heat and irritation, I also suffer from having a low digestive fire and slow metabolism. How can I go about increasing my digestive fire without adding a lot of heat to my body during these hot summer months? Do you have any recommendations or products for increasing the digestion...

With Thanksgiving coming up, the holiday season is officially in full motion! Although there are countless joys this season has to offer, it often comes with a few setbacks including higher levels of stress, busier schedules, later nights, excessive travel, and less-than-healthy eating habits—all of which can lead to fatigue, depletion, sickness, and weight gain.

It is that time of year again, filled with family, fun, and yes - FOOD! The holiday season is a great time to make an effort to see family, visit friends, and celebrate togetherness, but it can also be a time of excess.

One of the great aspects of Ayurveda is its long list of tools available to heal the body and mind. Although diet and herbs are essential factors in any healing protocol, there are many other therapies that can be used to bring balance. Of these, Ranga Chikitsa, or color therapy is one of my favorites as it is affordable, accessible, easy to incorporate, and effective... and the best part is, it can be a lot of fun! What is Color Therapy? Color therapy (also called chromotherapy) is an age-old healing modality used by many Vedic sciences including Yoga, Jyotish (Vedic...
