RE: If You Had to Choose... Your Top 5 Plants to Have, in a "Desert Island Scenario"
Thanks a lot! I looked on Amazon and found the powder. Is that what you use? I was about to order some of the tea bags but if the powder is better I will get that.
I have an ayurvedic lifestyle and use herbs as churnas (powders) where the taste is an important aspect of the experience.
Using the tea is good too, however you also get the non-soluable benefits when taking the whole herb.
I hope his helps @ indmissbl
Oh my goodness! I just listened to a podcast interview with Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary and today I bought her book, "The Prime!" Have you heard of her? I am thrilled that this tea is good for the ayurvedic lifestyle! SO COOL that I met you! I ordered the powder and I will start taking the Turmeric and black pepper too! I look forward to reading your other posts. Thanks so much!
You are entirely welcome @indmissbl. I'm unfamiliar with Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary however ayurveda has saved me many times over the last 30 years.
I'll admit to goofing off just reading and commenting. Soon I start posting, talkin' story of my eclectic life. :-)
I so look forward to hearing some of your stories! :) I can see the turmeric glow in your skin, now that you mention it!
Although I am really interested in healthy living, I had never even heard of ayurveda until a few days ago when my husband sent me a link to an interview he had heard on the radio. He knew I would be interested and of course, I am. I look forward to reading the book (actually I bought the Audible audio version) and learning more about it.
That's great @indmissbl. I am glad you discovered this amazing science of life. Ayurveda goes way back, probably more than 6 millenia.
If you are enjoying what you are hearing and learning;
I will recommend a couple amazing resources on youtube:
John Douillard , his website is: lifespa.com and
Khabir Southwick, his website is: NaturalHealingWest.com
That is awesome, I have put them in my notes so I can check them out. Thanks!
You are welcome. I suggest reading "The Prime!" first, then if it piques your interest, check out the sources I mentioned. In joy the journey :-)
I have taken note of them and appreciate you giving them to me. I hope to check them out soon. Thanks again!
Yes, taste is an important component of Ayurvedic medicine. Do you take your triphala in hot water at bedtime? mmmmmm... I love giving this to friends and watching their faces. ;)
At times, not regularly, To those not accustomed, it is a bit knarly, including squinchy faces. lol
I get all my ayurvedic herbs from Organic India. My mentor, Prashanti de Jager, is one of the cofounders.
Prashanti is cool, I recently found him on youtube. My introduction to Ayurveda was in the early 90s by Dr Vasant Lad'book. I use Banyan Botanicals and sometimes Vedaliving.com for harder to find herbs.
Awesome. yeah, I will approach him about joining Steemit. When I was first becoming interested in Ayurveda I found the Dr Vasant Lad book on the side of the road in San Francisco, and I asked Prashanti, is this a good book on Ayurveda? I just found it on the street. He looked at me with a curious gaze and said, "That's the book on Ayurveda" hah.. quite an auspicious find. That was 2003, and it's been an incredible journey ever since. I'll check out vedaliving.com, I've used banyan botanicals before, they are also good. :)
Yes invite Prashanti. An auspicious synchronicity in your finding the book.
It appears as if universe favors awakening humans.
Great to meet you @lovejoy, another ayurvedic steemian :-)

And yes... Ayurvedic steemian.. there's quite a lot to unpack there! hah! Great to meet you too.
