Forgiveness = wellbeing

Forgiveness = wellbeing

Forgiveness is about your overall well being.  Hanging onto being right is like a growing cancer.  Being right gets heavier as time goes on, weighing you down more and more.

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC encourages you to find it in you to say: “I forgive you (insert name)” and “I love you (insert name)”.  Do it a few times and day and watch and feel yourself become light, happy and joyful.

Reflexology ~

Reflexology ~

Reflexology and the many hidden benefits…

Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet, hands and ears. Reflexology is generally relaxing and may be an effective way to alleviate stress.

The theory behind reflexology is that these areas correspond to organs and systems of the body. The pressure applied to these areas affects the organs and benefits the person’s health.

Several studies funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Studies also show that reflexology may have benefits in palliative care of people with cancer.

Ear oiling ~

Ear oiling ~

Experiencing neck stiffness, ear wax, insomnia, headaches etc?

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC knows the benefits of Karnapoorna which is one of the many therapies in Ayurveda that is done with oil. It means, putting oil in your ears! Now, not only is it a therapy, but it’s also used as preventative medicine. You can do karnapoorna as needed or once a week as part of your routine to stay healthy. Karnapoorna is best for vata imbalances including:
• Insomnia
• Ringing in the ears
• Headaches
• TMJ
• Anxiety or worry
• Jet-lag and ears popping/crackling in airplanes

Other benefits are:
• Improves hearing
• Loosens ear wax (who doesn’t want that?!)
• Strengthens the bones in the ear
• Prevents neck stiffness

Intrigued yet? Give it a try. It might tickle at first, but stick with it for about 30 seconds, then you should feel calm and happy.

***Do not do karnapoorna after a shower or swimming. Oil and water do not mix and it could do bad things.

Here’s what to do:
Just before bedtime…
Warm some sesame oil and put in shallow bowl
Use a cotton ball to soak up the oil
Lay on one side and squeeze the oil out of the cotton ball into your ear (it will tickle)
Massage your ear lobe and bones gently for a couple minutes
Lay for 20 minutes (even 10 minutes does some good), bonus points if you so hum
Put a towel over your ear, tilt your head so the oil drizzles out
Repeat other side
Aaaannnnd, goodnight   You will probably want to sleep.

We become our thoughts…

We become our thoughts…

Our thoughts today are creating our future.

Through the lens of Ayurveda, our heart is the launching pad of all body/physical and mind/mental sensations. Our thoughts stimulate a physical emotional response releasing bodily chemicals and hormones into our bloodstream. Our body sends signals back to the mind, which responds. Thoughts in turn affect the physical body. It is a loop that continuously repeats itself.

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC encourages you to slow down, think before you react and work on your breathing, slow it down, as this will give you time to be mindful for your own health.

Remember: We become our thoughts and you are in the drivers seat.

Asparagus Risotto ~

Asparagus Risotto ~

Love asparagus?  Here is one of Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC favorite.  Let us know what you think…

Traditonal risotto is made using arborio rice, which is white and glutinous and produces a very creamy rice dish. The trick to making a creamy and tasty brown rice risotto is to use short grain rice and lots of veggie stock.

3/4 cup short grain brown rice
2 cups vegetable or mushroom stock
1 Tbsp each butter (or ghee) and olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried basil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped
black pepper
grated parmesan or reggiano cheese

In a medium, heavy pot, heat the butter (or ghee) and olive oil.  Add onions, garlic and red pepper flakes, sauteeing until soft. Stir in rice, basil and half the stock. Let simmer covered on medium for 20 minutes, then add remaining stock plus asparagus. Stir well, cover, and let cook until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is creamy (not firm or dry), about another half hour. If needed, cook in another 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of stock to reach the right consistency. Stir in parmesan to taste and grind in some black pepper. Serves 2.

NOTE: Ayurvedically, cheese is not recommended as it is difficult to digest, but it also purports that black pepper helps make it more digestible.

  • We make our own Ghee and it’s for sale – best out there.

FOR INDIVIDUAL DOSHAS
Great for all doshas. Pittas, omit or minimize garlic, dried basil, and red pepper flakes; Kaphas, omit or reduce butter and oil to 1 tsp each.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda

Do you have an imbalance happening with your health?

Let Ayurveda Wellness Healing help you determine the best treatment to bringing you and your health back to neutral.

Ayurveda believes that lack of proper cellular function, due to imbalance in the Vata, Pitta or Kapha levels are the cause of diseases. Diseases are also caused due to presence of toxins.

In Ayurveda, the mind and body and consciousness work together in maintaining balance.

Vata governs blinking, breathing, muscle and tissue movement, pulsation of heart, movements of cytoplasm and cell membranes. It promotes creativity and flexibility. When at an imbalance, Vata produces anxiety and fear.

Pitta governs activities such as digestion, absorption, assimilation, metabolism, and nutrition and body temperature. When in proper balance, Pitta promotes intelligence, and on the other hand, when out of balance Pitta triggers hatred, anger and jealousy.

Kapha is the energy that forms the basic structure of the body such as muscles, tendons and bones, and works like glue, holding cells together. Kapha helps in supplying water to all parts of the body, and lubricates joints, moisturizes the skin and maintains immunity. When under imbalance, Kapha could lead to greed, attachment and envy.
