Spring Salts: An Ayurvedic Blend for Renewal

Spring is the season of renewal—when nature comes alive and we shed the heaviness of winter. According to Ayurveda, spring is ruled by the Kapha dosha (earth and water), which can leave us feeling sluggish, congested, and heavy. Creating a Spring Salts blend with herbs and spices helps to balance Kapha, clear stagnation, and bring energy back into the body. This mineral-rich, spiced salt can be sprinkled over vegetables, soups, or warm grains to add both flavor and seasonal balance.

Roasting Root Vegetables the Ayurvedic Way

Root vegetables are some of the most grounding, nourishing foods you can eat—especially in the fall and winter. According to Ayurveda, fall is dominated by Vata dosha (dry, cold, and erratic).
