Or maybe you are (or were) that vata friend before Or maybe you are (or were) that vata friend before you learned Ayurveda. 😉 (No shame. We’ve all tried to green-juice our way through the winter at least once.) 🥒

Late winter in the Northern Hemisphere is still cold and can be depleting, which means vata is easily aggravated and kapha hasn’t *fully* melted yet. This is not the season for raw, icy, austere resets. It’s the season to begin introducing bitter and warming foods that are cleansing without shocking the system - if appropriate to your environment.

If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s time to start honoring the transition from peak summer (pitta season) to the coming fall (vata season).

If you’re ready to eat, breathe and live in a way that actually honors women’s digestion, hormones, rhythm and spirituality…

I still struggle with this, but little by little I am learning to see the difference between attention and devotion. Between outer validation and true self-appreciation. ⁠

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. ⁠
