Damiana has long been called the herb of love - no Damiana has long been called the herb of love - not because it forces desire, but because it restores the warmth, circulation and nervous system ease that allow pleasure to arise naturally. ⁠
⁠
Through an Ayurvedic lens, damiana supports agni, moves stagnation and gently nourishes reproductive vitality, especially in colder seasons when the body needs more warmth and flow. ⁠
⁠
🌹 Remember: Pleasure is a physiological state tied to hormonal balance, digestion and emotional regulation. ⁠

When your agni is turned on, your digestion is thr When your agni is turned on, your digestion is thriving and your body is well-oiled from the inside out. 😉🍯

Ayurveda has been teaching that your glow starts with digestion for thousands of years. When we tend our agni through simple daily rituals (tongue scraping, warm water, warm and spiced foods and yes… complete elimination 💩), assimilation improves, toxins clear, hormones regulate and vitality improves from the inside out.

Radiant wellbeing emerges when the system is supported.

You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And thes You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And these passion-inducing foods might already be in your kitchen: 🥑

Maca is known to enhance fertility and energy and boost libido with its adaptogenic properties.

Saffron is worth more than its weight in gold and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a women’s fertility support and hormone balancer for hundreds of years.

Chocolate, the quintessential ancient Aztec aphrodisiac, contains compounds that boost mood and arousal (phenylethylamine, serotonin and anandamide). It’s rich in PEA - “the love chemical.”

Strawberries (along with figs, plums, apples, pears and berries) have long evoked images of Eve and the feminine body. On a physical level, berries are packed with antioxidants.

Honey reminds us of our vital, life-bringing sap-the sweetness of passion and pleasure. It’s condensed effort, much like our human baby-making substances.

Arugula, also known as “rocket,” gives salads a boost of fire. In Italy, it’s said to enhance passion due to its peppery flavor.

Truffles are prized for their musky, earthy aroma and reputation as stimulators. Some even claim they have a pheromone-like scent that drives pigs wild - make of that what you will.

Ginseng, the holy grail of Chinese medicine, is a powerful nervous-system tonic shown to help the body adapt to stress and build vitality.

Avocados are rich, oily and deeply lubricating—supporting supple skin, collagen preservation and overall nourishment.

Walnuts resemble the brain and nourish it, too. They’re rich in omega-3s, vitamin E and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Oysters, food of the lovers, are rich in B12, C and D, omega-3 fats, iron, selenium and copper-nutrients essential for sensual vitality.

Anything can be aphrodisiac if it builds Ojas - the subtle essence of youth, immunity, satisfaction and vitality. These foods help preserve that creative sap and that, Ayurveda says, is what makes us truly turned on. ✨

There’s a reason the feminine urge in February i There’s a reason the feminine urge in February is dark chocolate, warm baths, rose petals and absolutely no rushing.

Ayurveda teaches that women thrive on deep nourishment, rest, nervous system regulation… and yes—PLEASURE. When a woman is resourced and sensual, Ayurveda teaches that her whole ecosystem benefits (family, relationships, creativity, vitality).

That’s the theme we’re celebrating this month at The Shakti School: slow down, warm up, soften, receive. Pleasure, beauty and the things that build your OJAS - these things are foundational to our health. 

Need some inspo for how you can indulge this month and pour back into YOU? We’ve got you covered. 😉🌹🛁🍫
