Whole Green Soul - Its Time to Remember

"A herbal tea a day...thats what inner doctor say." 🌿💚

🤧Recovering from a bout of covid with lots of congestion and these SUPER EASY spiced herbal teas with lemon, ginger, black pepper and basil are doing wonders for recovery (along with gentle pranayam and lots of sleep!).

🥘Literally just boil for 5-10 minutes, let it cool and sip! Remember - only add honey if its completely cooled or better yet, have the honey on a spoon and lick between sips!

All of the above plants are heating or pungent and help to burn up and purge our congestion and catarrh..👌👌

What a whopping change in heat this last week? Is it pushing your pitta over the edge? 🔥 are you getting heart burn or lose motions?

If, so switch up that acidic heating morning coffee for a cooling, green tea 🍵

Green tea is bitter, astringent and alkaline (and so pitta reducing by its opposite qualities) making it the ideal gut healing beverage on a Monday morning, particularly if you have had one too many summer ciders 🤭

Feeling hot? Chill the heck out with these delicious cooling foods! 😎

Heres my top 10 nommies to help keep internal temperatures down and prevent overheated body/bad tempers!

Enjoy! 🥬🥗

1 - Cucumber (put in drinks!)
2- Coconut (make into chutney or switch to coconut milk!)
3- Coriander (tastes awesome in salad)
4- Beetroot (juice it baby!)
5- Leafy greens (the perfect side dish)
6- Watermelon (slurp...)
7- Grapes (mmm smush)
8- Mung bean (sprout in a bit of water or make dal)
9- Ghee (or coconut oil, best most cooling and natural fat)
10- Buttermilk (blend yoghurt and water and spices, easy!)
11- Basmati rice (also good side dish)
12- Mint (put in water with that cucumber)
13- Tofu (cover in 14!)
14- Avocado (avo-cuddle?)
15- Berries (also add to water or water with coconut yoghurt!)

🥕Now Ayurveda is not strictly vegetarian, being heavy and nourishing meat is useful for maintaining Vata/brain/nerves and supportive in Autumn and Winter when (eating seasonally) fresh produce is limited. In the cold months we need heavier/fattier nutrition to stay warm...that said PASSIONATELY advocate small amounts of high quality, fresh fresh animal produce 👌🏻

Cheap meat is packed with a HORRIFYING amount of antibiotics, growth hormones and chemicals that interrupt the body's endocrine system and increase the likelihood of gut disease, toxicity and cancer 😫

...and don't even get us started on the "care" of the animals 🐮....

LUCKILY it's never ever been easier to eat non-animal bases produce 💜 Soooo...swap that steak for seitan, make the move to mushrooms, learn to love your lentils and get let those cheeky chick peas make your day cheerful!

Your body, the planet and the animals will thank you 🙏🏻
