#1

I opened a metaphysical bookstore in my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, in 2004. While business was sailing along, I felt unsatisfied in several areas of my life, including my health and relationships. I yearned for a cleanse.

#2

I learned about Ayurveda from the Chopra Center’s Teacher Certification program, and I began studying Ayurvedic cooking with Amadea Morningstar. I also worked with Dr. Vasant Lad of the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico and India.

#3

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old Indian system of care that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. It promotes a healthy mind-body constitution, and it isholistic in its approach.

#4

Ayurveda is a system of health care that can be tailored to suit any person’s unique needs. It can help people stay healthy, recover faster from illness, and hopefully live a long life.

#5

Ayurveda is a Hindu practice, but you don’t have to be Hindu to practice it. You can have a powerful Ayurvedic practice without being Hindu or knowing Sanskrit, the language of India.

#6

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian healing system that was introduced to the world by the gods and demons who created the world. It was created by Dhanvantari, a Hindu god, who holds a bowl of the elixir, Soma.

#7

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicine that believes that we are both energy and matter combined. The five great elements are space, air, fire, water, and earth. They create our foundation and structure, movement and circulation, transformation, light, and metabolism.

#8

The three doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each one is made up of all three elements. You can identify your dosha by taking this quiz. The goal is to be the best unique makeup of yourself that you can be.

#9

The daily doshic cycle affects all of the doshas. The qualities associated with each dosha are most prevalent during certain times of the day. These cycles are the same for all doshas.

#10

The doshic cycle determines the times of day when our bodies are most active. It is better to work with the cycle, rather than against it.

#11

The law of opposites is employed in the Ayurvedic system to help us create balance. It states that like attracts like, and that too much of a particular quality can throw us off balance. We would turn to its opposite for healing.

#12

The law of opposites is a fairly easy-to-understand concept, but not all of the Ayurvedic concepts are so straightforward. Other concepts include the three universal qualities, as well as the five layers, or sheaths, called koshas.

#13

Ayurveda teaches that what happens in the body is reflected in the mind and spirit, and vice versa. The mind-body-spirit can be viewed as the three dimensions: subtle, gross, and causal.

#14

Ayurveda is a ancient Indian healing system that focuses on customizing a treatment plan that addresses an individual’s needs. Once you have an idea of what your dosha is, and identify your chief concern, you can begin to create a daily routine that will support you in balancing yourself and addressing the areas where you feel out of balance.

#15

Ama, or toxins, is the result of low digestive fire. It is caused by undigested food that accumulates in the stomach and intestines, where it can produce gas, bloating, and other toxins. It can squash the good bacteria, impeding your metabolic and digestive functions.

#16

When you eat, pay attention to what you are eating and how your body feels after. If you feel unwell, think about the problems and solutions you came up with while eating. Your body will thank you for it.

#17

Toxins increase when we are not living in a healthy way and in harmony with nature. If you are not expressing yourself and hiding your emotions, toxins are having a field day. If you work on the computer or other screens up until bedtime, you are increasing ama.

#18

The body needs to use energy wisely, and if
