Still Time for Spring Detox & “Shroto Shudhi”….! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter June 4, 2026, #21, Vol 16

June 5, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

Before things really heat up with the onset of the Summer season, we still have a couple of weeks to implement some gentle yet effective Spring detox steps. This will actually help you NOT get too heated up this Summer, or tolerate heat better. How? Let’s delve into it!

Spring is naturally THE season of detox – as well as for detox! Meaning: you don’t have to adopt detox protocols or do any in-depth cleanses, Spring automatically puts the body into detox mode, and initiates a cleanse; HOWEVER, we need to support this momentum. Just like everything else in life. For example: if we wake up with the rising sun, and go to sleep by the setting sun, we are guaranteed to experience full-on energy and productivity. Sleeping in after sunrise can result in an unshakeable feeling of bodily heaviness, mental fog, and even sadness. Waking up and being physically and mentally active with sunrise secures full flow of energy and productivity.

In the same manner, when Spring comes and planet earth inches closer to the sun, and we experience the rise in temperature and sunlight, our bodies respond and our bio-chemistry changes. Our bodies automatically go into detox mode. ALL we have to do is support that natural detox. How? IF there is one thing, and one thing alone that we could follow, it would and should be this: minding our “shrotas” – or physical channels.

The shrotas – physical channels in the body – are given immense importance in Shakha Vansya Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic texts say it clear and loud: “shroto mayo purusha”: “The whole body is nothing but shrotas.” But what are shrotas? Shrotas fulfill several key functions: 

  • they circulate and deliver nourishment; 
  • they circulate heat; 
  • they deliver energy; 
  • they carry the dhatu-s or tissues; 
  • they evacuate toxins; 

and so much more. But here is the key: only when these shrotas or physical channels are open (think of it as highway traffic!) and free-flowing, also only when they are not inflamed with accumulation of acidic toxins, can they be healthy and function optimally. Only when the shrotas are optimally healthy can nourishment reach deep into the body, and can toxins be evacuated completely from the body. 

Ayurveda gives us many remedies and offers protocols to support and maintain the health and balance of the shrotas, clear and free daily and seasonal accumulation. 

This was one of the topics Vaidya Mishra taught about extensively. More than just toxins, knowing how to manage and the shrotas, or physical channels, is tantamount to optimal health. Vaidya Mishra gave us specific yet easy to adopt protocols and tools to help incorporate this knowledge in our daily lives. He gave us not only herbal remedies, but also dietary and routine guidelines to help maintain the “intelligence” of our shrotas. But what does that mean: the “intelligence” of the shrotas? 

Vaidya reminded us: the shrotas already know how to operate on their own – they are “intelligent!” They know how to identify and distinguish between what is nourishing for the body and what can be potentially harmful. They also know how to naturally eliminate toxic harmful substances and residues. In Addition, the shrotas also know how much to eliminate; when to eliminate; what to absorb; how much to absorb; where to deliver things to; when to deliver; how much to deliver. 

It’s a sophisticated complex system organized and maintained by the laws of nature, operating in our own bodies.

When external temperatures drop, our physical channels or shrotas shrink, blocking in toxins and slowing down circulation. Conversely, when external temperatures rise, the shrotas dilate and toxins circulate and MUST be evacuated. It become crucial to take some remedial ayurvedic steps to keep things flowing well. For example, basic foundational ayurvedic tips to keep our physiology in balance such as: nourishing but timely meals; regular yoga/exercise routine; early rather than late bedtime; regular self-massage with a good seasonal massage oil – Shroto Shudhi Massage oil is great for this season. Most important: make sure to schedule in uplifting down-time activities to unwind from work AND daily stress.

In addition, an easy daily way to keep things running smoothly and efficiently can be achieved with just a cup of tea! Vaidya Mishra has formulated many balancing teas that help in different ways. Including a Shroto Shudhi tea. 

Shroto Shudhi not only helps “clean and clear” the channels as its name indicates (“shudhi” = clean, “shroto” = channels), but it also warms them up and supports overall circulation. The tea targets channels in the body carrying liquid soma (water soluble materials). It helps process ama – partially digested food material – without aggravating amavisha, reactive acidic toxins sitting in the body. If you are high pitta by nature, you can start small – one pinch of the tea mix for 10oz water. Increase as you go and as your body responds. Another great way of supporting your shrotas is to do self-abhyanga(massage) with Shroto-Shudhi Massage oil. Read below for what each ingredient can do for you. 

Ingredients: 

Here’s what the massage oil contains and why it can help you:

Indian Sarsaparilla: Indian Sarsaparilla purifies the fat tissue, fat channels, sweat, sweat glands, and sweda-vaha srotas (sweat channels) particularly purifying them of amavisha (hot, reactive toxins);

Nutmeg: Nutmeg (jatiphal) has a “shamaka” (pacifying) effect on the nerves and calms down prana vata (governing the mind) and will help calm down hyperactivity of the channels that may occur from cleansing/detoxing them;

Black Pepper: Black Pepper (“maricham” in Sanskrit) is excellent for amapachan, burning ama in the tissues and srotamsi (channels);

Sunthi: (Ayurvedic ginger) opens the channels without overheating them and with less risk of aggravating amavisha (reactive acidic toxins);

Ajwain: Ajwain is another great channel opener that operates through its strong thermogenic property; Clove: Opens the channels, helps burns ama without overheating the channels, and gives a pleasant, stimulating fragrance;

Nirgundi: Reduces inflammation and inflammatory conditions in the channels that can result in blockages; Manjistha: Opening the channels can sometimes cause unwanted reactions by the immune system, Manjistha is the perfect plant to keep the immune response under control;

Coriander: Helps bind and eliminate virulent toxins stuck in the channels (heavy metals, etc.) and supports the elimination of toxins through the urinary system; Pashanbhed: Growing on rocky soil, this remarkable plant is quite useful in cases where toxins are resistant to removal because they have hardened and crystallized; Mint: Opens the nadis (vibrational channels) and srotas (physical channels), this action helps with pranic reception in the channels and gently opens them without overheating;

Camphor: Camphor (kapoor) both unblocks and helps to relax the physical and vibrational channels. 

Here’s to your shrotas’ health!

MORe MORe MORe MORinga?! Plus: Instant Detox Soup Recipe – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter May 28, 2026, #20, Vol 16

May 29, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

Ayurveda is the ancient timeless science that teaches us to re-align our bodies with Nature’s laws so we can achieve all the more bliss and balance as humans! Ayurveda gives us so many therapeutic protocols, recipes, and tools. One central key concept and practical tool is that of ‘langhana.’ Langhana literally means “to lighten up/make lighter.” In practical ayurvedic terms, it represents the process of adopting therapeutic protocols, such as fasting, or dieting, in view of “lightening” the body. In modern terms, detoxing it! Langhana is just one the six foundational treatment protocols in Ayurveda as per the Charak Samhita (22:4). Langhana therapy is used to help reduce excessive weight- gain or accumulation, and bring equilibrium. It also helps alleviate and balance the doshas – pitta/kapha/vata – as well as any accumulated waste products, and sharpens indigestion.

Langhana therapy is highly effective and increasingly popular in management of dis-ease due to chronic stress and improper diets. However, many of us do not even have the time to do any of these protocols. That is why Vaidya Mishra gave us practical easy tools. If you have not been able to take time for yourself this Spring season, for a much-needed detox, here is what we suggest.

On the weekends, for the next three weeks, before the Summer Solstice and the official start of Summer, replace your coffee/tea with Moringa tea. For lunch eliminate/minimize carbs, starch, bread, eat more vegetables, and a good side of protein. Cook your meals with Moringa powder. For dinner, make a light vegetable soup with Moringa soup mix, etc. You get the idea. Not convinced? Scroll down to read what all Moringa can do for you! It is nothing short of a “miracle” plant, filled with so many health benefits! In fact, Vaidya Mishra absolutely loved the Moringa plant.

He called it “a divine plant,” a great gift of Mother Nature, because it carried a perfect combination of detoxifying AS WELL AS rejuvenative properties simultaneously! This makes the Moringa plant 100% balancing. But here’s the best news: not only do the ancient ayurvedic texts recommend Moringa, but the scientific community keeps publishing papers that attest to the incredible nutritional, therapeutic and prophylactic properties of this ancient divine plant. 

Moringa is where ancient Ayurveda meets the latest science!

Moringa is a fast-growing drought-resistant tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It is also known as “drumstick tree.” In Sanskrit, it is nick-named “shigru” – which means fast-acting. Its leaves and fruit – the drumstick – are edible and delicious. But more than just an “exotic” vegetable,the Moringa tree is key for health, specially during seasonal detox. 

Here’s what Modern science has confirmed about Moringa: 

  • Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
  • Enhance Digestive Health
  • Purify/detoxify blood
  • Boosts immunity
  • Facilitate stronger bone development
  • Help prevent Respiratory Diseases
  • Boost female sexual health

Add 1-2 drops of Moringa or Maha Moringa Nectar to a bottle of 16oz of water, for gentle ongoing daily detox. You can also add nectar drops of Manjistha, Coriander, and Mahanubandha, along with the Moringa, for a full detox and rejuvenation recipe.

How is Moringa rejuvenative you say? Here is what more we know – Moringa has:

  • 7 times more Vit C than an orange
  • 3 times more potassium than a banana
  • 3 times the amount of iron found in almonds
  • 25 times more iron than in spinach
  • 4 times more calcium than in milk
  • 2 times more protein than in milk

And if this is still not enough to wow you, it has

  • 47 different antioxidants

The greater potency of vitamin C and potassium, along with calcium, protein, iron, and amino acids, help your body heal and build muscle. It’s also packed with antioxidants, substances that can protect cells from damage and boost your immune system.

All of this in just one plant!

Moringa thrives where other plants and ingredients fail. Although the plant’s many parts are used – leaves, flowers, seeds, fruit and even bark – in the Vedic tradition, the leaves and the fruit are particularly favored in cooking, for daily nourishment and detoxification, alone or with some lentils (mung or masoor preferably). SVA recommends using it daily for nourishment and detoxification because it is very effective in ridding the bone tissue of accumulated toxic waste. Since it targets the bone tissue, it is then also good for the blood and fat tissue – toxins travel through the blood, the muscle and then the fat before reaching the bone as one is built on the other. As a side-benefit, moringa also supports the detoxification of the liver. There are also some additional benefits to consuming Moringa on a regular basis:

  • It is great for eyes, skin – it detoxifies the skin and nourishes the eyes
  • It can help lower cholesterol since it supports the liver and purifies the fat tissue
  •  It can help with joint pain resulting from the local accumulation of toxins because its primary action is to detoxify tissues, particularly the fat tissue
  • Long-term use supports our immune system. 

It is tridoshic – balancing for vata, pitta, and kapha – however, if you are a high pitta body type, make sure to always cook it with a pitta pacifying masala. Alternately, you can use the SVA Moringa Soup Mix which has been formulated to be balancing for all three doshas.

Enjoy Moringa in of the many formats that Vaidya Mishra made available for us: as a powder for soup; as a delicious tea blend; as concentrated nectar drops in your water; or even transdermally as a soap – see the beautiful results on your skin daily!

MORINGA SOUP

CREAMY & DELICIOUS

DETOXIFYING & REJUVENATING

Many a times it is not possible to get fresh Moringa leaves or drumsticks, as well as Taro Root – an excellent binder necessary for gentle and complete detox. This is one of the primary reasons Vaidya Mishra made his ready-to-go Moringa Soup Powder mix. Another reason was of course to give us all a quick healthy ayurvedic soup recipe that would be ready in minutes to support our overall diet and detox – whenever we are too tired too cook or even think about what to cook!

This ayurvedic instant soup mix is versatile and your imagination is literally the limit! You can add 1 tablespoon of Moringa Soup Powder to any ingredients. You can mix it in with lentils, or vegetables, or chicken etc). But below is a delicious and healthy detox recipe.

We know you are going to love it – specially since it takes less than 10 minutes to assemble and enjoy!

Decode Your Life! – with Dr Q; your SV Ayurveda Newsletter May 20, 2026, #19, Vol 16

May 22, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

This week, we are delighted to showcase the work of a unique luminary – Dr Q! And to shed light on a fascinating mystical tradition from ancient India – Nadi Astrology. India is truly the eternal home of all the mysteries of the universe, and it has bequeathed us all the tools needed to decode the cosmic blueprint so as to uplift our lives in unexpected ways.

Nadi Astrology is one such ancient legacy that can be tremendously transformative. It does not replace or “compete” with the science of jyotish! The key difference is that Jyotish, or Vedic Astrology, calculates and interprets a person’s birth chart based on the exact time, date, and place of birth. In contrast, Nadi palm leaf reading relies on locating pre-written manuscripts matched to you using your thumbprint – alone! The science of Jyotish operates on the premise that the web of planetery movements influence our lives. It is a highly detailed and complex system that requires the astrologer to synthesize math, astronomy, and astrological principles to interpret so as to give guidance.

Nadi, on the other hand, operates on the premise of “soul destiny.” It is considered a pre-written record of your life, and the reader is seen acting as a mere translator, reading the ancient Tamil or Sanskrit scripts from the leaves so as to offer details about the current life and its details.

A refugee, cancer survivor, and academic, his search for answers led him across the world—until a near-death experience and a single Nadi Reading changed everything.

A stranger revealed deeply personal details from an ancient palm leaf—names and life events that seemed impossible to know.

A former academic and entrepreneur, with a PhD in International & European Union Law, Dr Q’s life journey has been marked by profound personal challenges and spiritual transformation. After battling cancer as a teenager and later surviving a life-threatening case of myocarditis that brought him close to death, he began searching more deeply for answers about karma, destiny, suffering, and the true nature of reality.

“Healing Doesn’t Start with More Detox!” – with Dr Lisa Raskin – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter May 14, 2026, #18, Vol 16

May 15, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

Detox Season – Healing Season?

Anyone who has experienced Vaidya’s Knowledge or formulations is always joyfully surprised to find how it is different:

  • the protocols break the traditional norm to augment the healing experience in unexpected ways;
  • the formulations deliver immediate relief and an experience of blissful balance that is unmatched;
  • the experience of SVA is again and again gentle yet so potent.

THIS is the Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda truth:

a living tradition that delivers the ayurvedic experience of reset above and beyond mainstream standardized norms and expectations.

Not convinced? Read Dr Lisa Raskin’s article below. It is detox season and one way or another we are all rushing to detox. BUT perhaps that’s the last thing we should be doing…. as per Vaidya Mishra…. As Dr Raskin reminds us…

Healing Does NOT Start

with

More Detox!

Vaidya Mishra used to say that if we built a factory that did everything the liver does, it would be one mile long and one mile wide! That’s how complex the liver is. How much it’s actually doing.

He taught me that the liver has five burners – five agnis – while the other organs of digestion only have one. It runs warm:

it performs over 500 chemical reactions every single day, It processes everything that comes into the body.

And he couldn’t believe how toxic Western livers were.

You’ve been told your liver “detoxes.” That it filters out bad stuff and needs to be “cleansed” or “flushed.” And yes – it does that. But that’s barely scratching the surface of what your liver actually does.

Every single day:

  • your liver decides which hormones get activated and which get broken down;
  • it regulates blood sugar and determines how fuel gets delivered to your cells;
  • it processes fats so they can actually be used for energy and repair;
  • it filters the blood supplying your brain and heart;
  • it determines whether inflammation resolves or keeps building.

When your liver is functioning well, everything flows:

digestion works; hormones balance; energy stabilizes; your mind clears.

When your liver is overloaded, everything backs up.

And I see this constantly in my SV Ayurveda practice:

women who eat clean but still feel foggy; take handfuls of supplements that don’t seem to work; have stubborn hormonal issues that won’t resolve; deal with inflammation, skin problems, or mood swings that make no sense!

It’s not lack of effort. It’s that the liver can’t manage all these functions anymore.

And here’s what Vaidya taught me about why this happens – it’s only ONE thing:

the liver only recognizes food!

When you give it anything else – synthetic supplements, processed food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals – it has to work incredibly hard to turn those substances into something it can process.

This exhausts the liver. And here’s where Vaidya’s teachings diverge from anything you’ll find in Western medicine – or even most alternative medicine. 

Underneath so many of these cases, what SVA recognizes is heat in the liver. (The liver can be burdened in other ways too – congestion, clogging, and more – but heat is what drives so many of these symptoms.) 

When the liver heats up, that heat overflows into the blood: hot blood travels through your entire body!

Eventually, as a results, the immune system heats up too. And when the immune system gets hot, it loses its fine intelligence – it starts attacking the body instead of protecting it. This is how autoimmune disease begins – not with bad genetics or bad luck, but with an overheated immune system that has lost its ability to distinguish self from invader…

Over time, the liver stops being able to manage all the functions it’s supposed to. Everything starts backing-up.

Conclusion?!

This is why food timing matters! Why spices matter! Why fat quality matters! Why rest matters! Why emotional stress matters!

They all either support the liver’s ability to function well – or they heat it up and exhaust it.

Healing doesn’t start with “more detox.”

It starts with helping the liver do what it already knows how to do.

When the liver cools down and can function properly again, the body often corrects itself; hormones balance; inflammation resolves; energy returns; the fog lifts;

the immune system remembers how to protect instead of attack…

Not because you pushed harder or cleansed more aggressively, but rather becaue you gave your liver what it actually needed – FOOD that is recognizes; practices that cool it down; space so it can do its work…

Not sure where and how to start correcting and amending your diet? Connect with me for a discovery call….

Lalita’s Beauty is NOT Skin-Deep! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter May 7, 2026, #17, Vol 16

Beauty is NOT Just Skin-Deep!

Did you know that Vaidya Mishra’s Lalita’s Skincare line was formulated using strict guidelines from the ancient AyurVedic texts, the teachings of SVA, and traditional beauty recipes?

The ingredients support, nourish and enhance outer and inner beauty, promote luster, and slow down the aging process. The blends are “pranically preserved” thus chemical-and preservative-FREE. The “prabhava” or “vibrational potency” and intelligence of the plants and herbs is fully maintained delivering real living healing and balance to your skin. Because the creams are pranically preserved, the herbal ingredients provide a rasayana or rejuvenating effect and enhance the coordination between our mental functions, and deliver a supportive positive effect to our “gunam” – inner beauty.

All of the materials and methods that Vaidya Mishra used are meant to enhance our skin’s cellular beauty as well as our spiritual beauty, strengthening our mind-body-soul connection.

This Mother’s Day, give your mom the best that Ayurveda can offer: a unique skin-care line made with fresh flowers, herbs, and oils full of prana, formulated according to time-less SVA techniques.

She will thank you for it!

The five elements of nature – fire, water, earth, air and space – come together to create three bio-chemical types known as “doshas.” Vata, Pitta, and Kapha: these are expressions in different ratios of the fives cosmic constitutional elements.

Doshas are markers for our bodies: how we related to the world, which how much of earth, water, fire, air, and space, flowing through us. Each individual carries a unique signature mixture of these five elements that’s expressed in a distinct balance of the three doshic categories. This applies to everything in our bodies, mind and heart.

Accordingly, each individual’s skin is also unique based on their doshic make-up. Each of these doshas is divided into additional five sub-categories to highlight further distinct functions.

In this sense, the skin is governed by 3 sub-categories or sub-doshas: Pachak Pitta; Vyana Vata; and Shleshak Kapha.

Individuals who are more Pitta by nature, who carry more fire in their biochemical constitution, tend to have a more active bhrajak pitta subhdosha. In other terms, their skin tends to be more sensitive to developing rashes and imbalances due to heat, overexposure to sunshine, or it can also be triggered by spicy food, emotional challenges as well as mental stress.

In addition, because Pitta skin tends to be more prone to acidity, and acidity induces inflammation and kills the friendly bacteria of the skin, Pitta individuals need specific skin care addressing their highly sensitive constitution.

The truth is, in this day and age of excessive EMF computer usage, fast-paced stressed tempo, mental and emotional triggers on the global and local political and cultural platforms, we are ALL sadhak pitta imbalanced, and therefore all our pitta subdoshas are all affected…

For this group of people – all of us right now! – who tend to have more sensitive skin, Ayurveda offers specific help with Pearl Bhasma…

Pearl bhasma is highly somagenic and cooling because when the macromolecules of pearl (bhasma) combine with the proper yogvahi, or carrier, the soothing benefits of the pearl will penetrate up to the 4th layer of the skin. The herbal synergy of plant and flower extracts that Vaidya uses in his creams act as intelligent “yogvahi”-s. A “yogvahi” is a “messenger” that carries the intelligence and potency of herbs and plants into deep tissues and layers. Through the action of yogvahis, bhrajak pitta gets pacified up to the 4th layer, offering inside-out relief. 

In this context, the addition of “bhasma” or ash plays a major role as well. For example, the micro-molecules of the pearl bhasma are highly alkalizing for the deeper levels of the skin. Long-term use of the Pearl bhasma cream helps create a good environment for the friendly bacteria of the skin, and helps to fight against inflammation created by any external or internal factors. In particular, pearl bhasma with rose is great for somebody going through emotional challenges or someone emotionally sensitive in general. Rose is known for its great property for sadhak pitta pacification, while Jasmine helps unify all the layers of the skin which get separated due to acid induced inflammatory situations.  

The Lalita’s Facial Cream with Pearl Bhasma are specially formulated for high-pitta skin types that need deeper cooling and deeper nourishment for their skin. Pearl Bhasma is the best for such skin conditions, because it’s highly Somagenic – very rich in the cooling, nurturing, replenishing vibrational energy of the Moon. Pearl Bhasma is also firming for the skin. You can now chose between a facial cream that carries Natural Pearl Bhasma with Rose, or Natural Pearl Bhasma with Jasmine. Or, you can try them both!

Why Pearl Bhamsa with Rose?

Do you know why emotional stress directly impacts the glow and health of your skin? When your emotions are on the rocks, your sadhak pitta and sadhak agni go off. This impacts all your other pitta subdoshas, stripping your skin of its luster, and slowing down its healthy metabolism. If you are under constant emotional stress, and your skin looks dull and flaky, no external application will help unless you address the heart of the matter – your emotions. Unless you are using a prana-infused cream that contains Rose. Transdermal rose can uplift the emotions by balancing sadhak pitta and sadhak agni right away– the sub- doshas and the flame that govern the emotional heart. Rose strengthens the emotional heart so it can better handle emotional challenges. Not only does rose pacify sadhak pitta – even as it balances sadhak agni – it also carries a “somnasya jana” or bliss-enhancing property. All sub-doshas are inter-connected. Any of Vaidya’s creams can be custom-ordered containing 100% pure and organic Rose Absolute. If you are experiencing emotional challenges right now, then you should go with the Rose Aroma.  

But Rose also carries additional amazing properties confirming it as the Queen of flowers in the plant kingdom! But rose is also beneficial for individuals who experience heat or burning sensations in their limbs or their body overall. Regular transdermal use of rose cleans the sweat inside-out, neutralizing its pH, so that when it is released through the skin, it does not cause irritation. Rose in your facial cream can be especially beneficial if you are a vata or pitta or a mixture of both in terms of your overall constitution and particularly in terms of your skin type.

DON’T DETOX!!! with Dr Teitelbaum; PLUS: Instant Vegan Protein Recipe! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter April 30, 2026, #16, Vol 16

May 1, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

It’s Springtime! Ayurvedically speaking, it’s “detox-time!” But did you know that detox does NOT necessarily mean, nor does it have to involve: flushing, releasing, and/or cleansing… Do you know what’s the basic most foundational step that Vaidya Mishra emphasized over and over again? The first step for any cleanse or detox is to first stop the input ingestion of new toxic substances.

How to know what and how and which? What’s the one harmless thing you do everyday that becomes the foundation of harmful toxic overload? Yes: you guessed: FOOD! We make the most toxins through food! Because our bodies survive and thrive on food. And when we eat “toxic” food – “dumb or “dead” as Vaidya Mishra used to say – then we set up a foundation for deeper harmful toxicity. Revisiting your diet and making some changes is the first most important thing you can do if you are considering detox this Spring. For example, swapping bread and aged cheeses with homemade crackers, or lighter forms of fresh protein. Or making sure your dinners are light, and lunch is the main meal of the day… SV Ayurveda can help you make all these changes easy and breezy! Vaidya Mishra gave us wonderful ready to use detox recipes, teas, soups, rice and protein mixes too! Adding Karela soup mix powder to your food, or Moringa tea to your daily protocols, instead of high-sugar Macha Latte or ice-cold drinks can make a huge difference. But it is all so very delicious as well!

Most important thing to remember is: it’s a process! Nothing is a one-time-done deal. Detoxing is a slow and steady self-care protocol, where you wake up to the needs of this highly complex and intelligent physiology that carries you daily. You resolve to address its needs and care for it ayurvedically, so it can continue to carry you through your adventures in the world.

Here is a quick delicious soup recipe you can try with any of the kitchdi-s protein dumplings (vadi-s) and vegetables.

Food is your foundational basis for detox and health. But doing a full proper Spring Detox is also a game changer. Provided it is done right and safely! Read Dr Teitelbaum’s article below to find out more!

Do Not

Detox, Unless…

~ Dr Marianne Teitelbaum

It’s time for your spring cleanse!

  Through the winter months, the cold weather shrunk down all your body’s physical channels – the channels that carry out toxins through the bowel, urine and sweat were sluggish, leading to a backup of toxins. But as the weather starts to warm up, the channels naturally dilate, and there are lots of toxins which the body is keen on discharging. Doing detox in the Springtime is the best thing anyone could and should do!

   When people think of detoxifying, they are usually considering a liver cleanse. And that is not a bad idea; however, what they don’t know is that there are other areas that also need to be cleansed. And here is what most people don’t know: the protocol will be different for each person based on many factors. 

   For example:

  • some people who work around chemicals need to clean the blood and brain;
  • those on the birth control pill need to clean all the fat cells from this highly toxic fat-soluble toxins in synthetic meds;
  •  others need to clean the bone marrow;
  • some might need to clean the muscle – especially in cases of fibromyalgia;
  • yet others: the bone tissue, where heavy metals -including fluoride – tend to accumulate; 
  • most of us need to scrub the gut of old fecal material;
  • or cool off and purify the blood plasma and blood…
  • if digestion is in any way impaired, we would then need to address the lymphatic system and fluids… 

So you get the idea: there are many more specific variations and protocols when it comes to seasons Spring cleansing. It is NOT a one-size-fits-all…. 

(scroll down to continue reading)

A delicious blend of ayurvedic spices, formulated to energize you through improved circulation. Drink it first thing in the morning, or any time during the day, to help support detox in the Spring, by opening and rejuvenating your physical channels. It will also help energize you mentally by improving overall circulation and supply of oxygen to the brain as well as the extremities – arms and legs.

Dr Teitelbaum’s article continued:



 But most important thing is: before you cleanse you have to prepare and lubricate the body’s physical channels so they can handle these “nasty toxins” when they are given the opportunity to exit. 

   And key is to chip away slowly at the toxins… One should not do a big hurried flush in a 1-2 week program. If too many toxins come pouring out, there could be irreversible damage. For one, you could rupture the physical channels. If that happens, you’re in really big trouble as the toxins are now free-to-roam all over your body unhindered, and can get relocated in any organ or organ system or tissue. 

   And finally, a crucial point Vaidya Mishra always emphasized is: when you cleanse, you have to make sure you bind the toxins and move them to the intestines and escort them out into the urine to keep them away from the skin, which could cause aggressive rashes and worsening skin problems.

   The key is to remember that it’s not hard to remove the toxins! The real bigger problem is that it is actually easy to remove them, but if you don’t do it in a systematic way, and very carefully, you may not only run into trouble, but you can create serious unnecessary chronic conditions. 

   Bottom line: let your Ayurvedic physician guide you carefully through the process. They have spent years taking studying the detox process. The toxins people are harboring today are much more dangerous than 3,000 years ago when the ancient ayurvedic textbooks were written. That is one reason why Vaidya Mishra made not only made modifications to the classical detox processes, but restored crucial steps and added additional modules and details to home-detox protocols and recipes. Call us to schedule a discovery session.

Happy Spring!

Spring with Tulsi! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter April 23, 2026, #15, Vol 16

Incomparable Tulsi 

for

Immunity

&

Shakti

Spring is in full swing! And springtime is kapha dosha season – heavy, cold, moist. We need something hot, dry, and mobile, to counter the Spring season properties, support digestion and boost immunity. Amongst the many herbs and remedies, one stands out, specially for this time of year,

 the incomparable Tulsi.

There are so very many divine plants with amazing therapeutic benefits, what makes Tulsi so special? Scroll down to read more. Or click the image below to listen to Vaidya Mishra’s podcast on Tulsi.

In this podcast episode, Vaidya Mishra expounds the total properties of the Tulsi plant, and narrates the beautiful stories that go along with its manifestation. This chapter is from his Dravyaguna Course. Stay tuned to find out more about the upcoming digital release of this course and how you can sign up.

The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word tulsi (pronounced tulasi) is “beyond compare.” More than any other plant in Vedic culture, the Tulsi plant is known for her divinity. Tulsi is also called “surasa” – liked by the gods, and “devadundubhi” – that which carries a divine vibration.

Tulsi (Ocimum santum), or Holy Basil, is a perennial, aromatic plant native to the Indian subcontinent that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Amongst the more than 2000 ayurvedic plant species, and the 700 plants that the Charak and Sushrut Samhita specifically mention, the Tulsi plants is in a rank of its own in Ayurvedic medicine, and is called “incomparable.”

Known as ‘Queen of Herbs,’ Tulsi is loaded with phytochemicals like eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apinegin, myretenal, and oleanolic acid, all of which are known to prevent many types of cancers and have impressive antiseptic and analgesic properties. Modern scientific studies now concur with the ancient Ayurvedic teachings –  Tulsi supports immunity through immuno-modulation; reduces stress through adaptogenic properties; supports the lungs and respiratory system; aids digestion and absorption; heals the skin topically. More specifically, it carries the following compounds: 

  • Oleanolic acid: gives anti-tumor and antiviral properties
  • Ursolic acid: helps reduce muscle atrophy and is cardio-protective 
  • Rosmarinic acid: anti inflammatory and antioxidant
  • Eugenol: anesthetic properties and also used for flavor and aroma  
  • Carvacrol: antimicrobial properties and pungent smell
  • Linalool: antimicrobial and antifungal properties
  • Β-caryophyllene: anti-inflammatory, antidepressant.

Its incredible healing properties are limited not only to our health and wellness, but also extend to the environment. While most plants release carbon dioxide at night, Tulsi is a rare herb that releases oxygen 24-hours a day. It helps in the creation of nascent oxygen and improves the air quality by neutralizing harmful gases like sulphur dioxide from the environment. To top it off, the plant acts as a natural insect repellent, and the juice of its leaves has potent larvicidal properties. Besides, essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, folate, Vitamin A, and K are also found in plenty in this herb, which makes it worthy of the importance and centrality it receives in Ayurveda and naturopathy.

Tulsi Is Good

For

the Heart AND the Mind

Did you know that Tulsi supports the emotional, physical and vibrational heart? Our connection to the “light of our soul” lies in our hearts. Tulsi is so connected to the universal soul, or God, that her presence in our homes, our lives, ushers in that divine universal vibration, which directly strengthens the emotional and physical heart. This is why Bhava Prakash gives tulsi the classification of “hridya” – that which gives a long, healthy life to the heart by delivering prana to the heart.

When the heart’s vibration is pranically elevated, the mind gets anchored and recharged, and it becomes easy for the mind to stay connected to the light of the soul. Because of this, the senses are not able to easily overtake the mind, since the mind becomes anchored in the pure field of Being vibrating in the heart. This is one of the reasons why tulsi is an important part of Vaidya Mishra’s Samadhi Set.

Using Vaidya Mishra’s Samadhi set and protocol before yoga, prayers, or meditation helps settle down the mind and open the heart by unclogging the vibrational and physical channels, supplying more prana, and the shakti of the divine healing herbs. The experience of meditation or yoga is not only deeper and more complete, but also accelerated. 

Tulsi opens the heart to the field of Being. The light of Being illuminates the mind and gives it strength. The strong, peaceful mind is able to fully enjoy its yogic state of sama-dhi, balanced intellect radiating bliss. The Tulsi plant carries powerful properties for the physical body and health, but is a sacred plant for the divine/spiritual body as well. 

“Shakti” – Spiritual Strength

The physical properties of any herb affect the physical elements of the body, while its subtle vibrational qualities work in the vibrational gaps of the physiology, where all transformations in the body take place. The gaps or sandhis carry burners or centers of transformative energy. These gaps is where the intelligence of the body is located. Whenever you ingest or transdermally absorb an herb that is rich in divine intelligence, like tulsi, you naturally activate the gaps (or burners) in the physiology. The vibration of the tulsi plant is purifying for these gaps and makes them more intelligent.

The word is Sanskrit for this property is dipani. Any herb that is dipani increases the flame in one or more of the gaps of the physiology. This can be done by cleaning the gap (removing blocks to the flow of prana in the gap), or by directly supplying more agni. Tulsi does both!

Tulsi has ushna virya (heating thermogenic property) which delivers agni-rich prana to the burners, especially the jataragni (burner of the stomach) to ignite the digestive flame. And tulsi also has a divine vibration which travels directly to all the gaps throughout the physiology.

This divine quality helps it to remove any hidden vibrational blocks and to clean the gaps in the physiology. This makes the agnis (flames) stronger throughout the body, including the agnis in the mind and the liver.

When the body’s subtle transformational powers are reset by tulsi, the body is able to receive and connect with universal energy optimally. Tulsi is thus an ideal herb for restoring and maintaining spiritual shakti in times of distress. It purifies and elevates us through its physical and vibrational cleansing properties. 

Bactericidal Effect of Tulsi

Bhava Prakash uses two words, “apetarakshasi” and “bhutaghni,” to give emphasis to the bactericidal property of tulsi.

The word, bhutaghni, in Sanskrit means “bactericidal.” Bhuta, in Ayurveda, denotes microscopic bacteria or living entities that are invisible to the naked eye, but the terms also refers to spirits – which can be a hidden nuisance as well! The word, “apetarakshasi,” also means “bactericidal.” Rakshasa is another name for disease spreading micro-organisms in Ayurveda.

The divine chemical make-up of the tulsi plant creates an unwelcome environment for such infectious organisms. The bitter taste (tikta rasa) of tulsi is also an important factor in killing bacteria (or at least making it very difficult for them to thrive). For this reason, tulsi has been used to boost the immune system and fight colds for centuries. The combination of being bactericidal, increasing agni (digestion) and connecting the mind to the light of the soul makes this an ideal herb for strengthening immunity. In terms of doshas, it pacifies high kapha and vata. It can be pitta aggravating, so it should be used with caution by high pitta individuals. 

Traditionally, Tulsi is used in dry or fresh form. Either as full leaves or powder. Given its heating and drying properties, and how they may impact pitta dosha, Vaidya Mishra introduced transdermal and transmucosal alternative delivery forms of Tulsi, so that you can get ALL the balancing and healing properties of this divine plant, without creating imbalance elsewhere…

9 uses of Tribindu

1) Use it to help support your sinus pathways and discourage potential bacterial growth in your oral cavity - apply on a scarf, wrap around your mouth and nose and gently inhale

2) Spray it in your room – on your couch, pillows, carpet, desk, or just in the air, to clean and refresh the air. You can also use an essential oil diffuser and squirt 2-3 times into the water and then plug it in for sustained delivery.

3) Apply a small amount on your feet and massage in: when you have fatigue, poor circulation, cold hands and feet, the Tribindu will warm you up right away, enhancing circulation and thermogenesis.

4) Apply on sore achy muscles before and also after exercise to mobilize and evacuate toxic build-up and ease the flow of toxins to support enhanced mobility

5) Support your overall circulation and thermo-genesis, specially in cold weather, when you have to go out – apply on hands and feet before putting on gloves and socks.

6) Use it to ease away tension and stress from your neck and shoulder areas – spray 2-3 times and massage in. You can also use it on your lower or upper back areas

7) Use it to ward off insect bites or to soothe itchiness from bites: spray on insect bites or mosquito bites and massage – do not spray on an open wound or bite.

8) Spray on joints – knees, elbows, wrists, ankles, finger joints, etc, morning and evening, to help maintain healthy joints free from toxic accumulation, and enhance mobility. Spray and gently massage.

9) You can also use the Tribindu to help ward off infections, for example, apply on your nails and fingers after clipping them.

Whichever way you use it, it is a great and safe household remedy to keep close by – rain or shine within or without!

There are many varieties of Tulsi. Three of them stand out and are used by Vaidya Mishra in his nectar drops:  1. Rama Tulsi (Green Tulsi): Sweet, light fragrance; known for being cooler; boosts immunity, helps relieve cough & cold.  2. Krishna Tulsi (Shyama Tulsi): has dark purple leaves and a strong aroma, heat-generating. Very effective in treating throat infections, skin issues, and inflammation. 3. Vana Tulsi (Forest Tulsi): a wild variety found in the Himalayan region, rich in antioxidants, used in Ayurvedic tonics for energy and vitality.

CAUTION

According to BhavaPrakash, tulsi is ushna (heating), 

katuka (pungent) and dipani (flame enhancing). For anyone who has a high pitta constitution this can cause burning or other pitta related problems, so use in moderation. In fact, Bhava Prakash warns that tulsi is dahapittakrit – increasing pitta and aggravates burning in the body.

Tulsi should be used in moderation, according to the specific state of balance of the person in order to avoid this problem.

Also, because it is bitter, tulsi should not be used during pregnancy as it may cause miscarriage, unless it is used under the doctor’s supervision. Bitter herbs stimulate the liver to detoxify itself and can transfer too much amavisha (reactive toxins) into the blood, causing a miscarriage.

James Pace, Until We Meet Again…; plus: SAVE Divya’s Kitchen! – Your SV Ayurveda Newsletter April 16, 2026, #14, Vol 16

On April 12, 2026, our dear James Pace departed from this earth. Nine years ago, almost to the day, Vaidya Mishra had attained mahasamadhi… James was an ardent devotee as well as expert of vedic sciences, particularly Jyotish. He would delight one and all with his insights into planetary alignments and conjunctions, interpreting upcoming stellar events in the light of individual lives. But his true passion was, and always remained, Ayurveda.

Having studied with many renowned masters in the USA as well as India, he spoke with confidence and eloquence on any/all ayurvedic topics, remembering details and Sanskrit terminology with great ease and clarity. But his passion and study of Ayurveda attained new heights when he met Vaidya Mishra and was introduced to Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda in 2002, at a café on the upper West Side in Manhattan – New York City. It was a blissful reunion of ancient souls whose paths were crossing once more, in this lifetime… Soon after meeting Vaidya Mishra and for the next almost 15 years, James was fully engaged in helping Vaidya design and organize courses, scheduling and organizing tours for Ayurvedic consultations and events all over the USA, Canada, and Europe.

On a more intimate level, James was a gentle soul whose love for animals perhaps surpassed even his love for humans. Well, let’s retract that: perhaps he loved coffee more than anything or anyone else! Vaidya Mishra and he used to meet up at their favorite coffee shop: “Bucky’s” – Vaidya’s mischievous nickname for “Starbucks” – where copious amounts of chai and coffee would be consumed over several hours while they engaged in joyful conversations, discussing knowledge and planning out ayurvedic events.

Dear James, your love for Vaidya Mishra and Ayurveda has inspired so many, and will continue to do so, through all the work you have done over the years assembling, organizing, and helping perpetuate Vaidya Mishra’s eternal SVA legacy.

Even though you no longer walk this earth, your gentle imprint remains on our hearts – forever.

We wish you safe travels in the eternal celestial abodes, knowing full well you are in total bliss and finally reunited with your beloved Vaidya, assisting him in designing and devising new divine projects to spread the eternal science of ayurveda in heaven,

and on earth…

Vaidya Mishra took Mahasamadhi on April 13, 2017, leaving us an encyclopaedic SV Ayurvedic legacy that defies the passage of time. His “shakties” – divine creative feminine energy incarnations – have been busy spreading the SVA light through knowledge and courses, consultations, and most importantly food! Divya came to SVA when she was having health issues 15 years ago. Vaidya Mishra and Dr Marianne Teitelbaum helped her recover fully through SVA protocols. Divya discovered and experienced the power of SV Ayurveda and has, along with her husband and business partner – Prentiss, worked at spreading SV Ayurveda through books, and their delicious NYC based fully vegetarian and pranic restaurant. However, things have been tough of late.

As we are all aware, the world is going through a great rough transition – at home, as well as globally. We don’t lose heart because we know it is always a happy ending no matter how bumpy the ride; however, we still have to survive the darkest hours that come just before sunlight…

One of the most important things we can do at this point in time is to help and support each other stand tall and strong, by giving our attention, time, and even financial support to those in need, so that we can continue the journey together, because together we are strong-er…

Please scroll down to read more about Divya’s Kitchen and consider making a donation, even if you don’t live in NYC!

Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda is here for us all, to make our everyday a SVA day for more bliss and more balance always …. Namaste!

DIVYA’S KITCHEN

Dear friends,

If Divya’s Kitchen has ever touched your life, we invite you to reflect on what it has meant to you—and what it would mean not to have it here.

For 10 years, Divya’s Kitchen has been one of the most beloved healthy restaurants in NYC—a place where food is healing, community is real, and nourishment goes beyond the plate. We’ve been honored to serve many thousands of you, creating a space where people come not just to eat, but to feel cared for, restored, and at home.

Today, we are facing an urgent moment. With healthy, vegetarian, and vegan spaces rapidly disappearing in NYC under current economic pressures, preserving places like Divya’s Kitchen has never been more important.

We are seeking to raise funds to meet urgent financial obligations and secure the immediate future of Divya’s Kitchen.

What happens in the next few days will make all the difference.

This funding will also allow us to thoughtfully restructure our operations into a more resilient and sustainable model for today’s economy, while staying true to the values that define Divya’s Kitchen.

We are working closely with a trusted local restauranteur and industry expert to strengthen our business systems, refine our operations, and creatively evolve our menu—preserving our commitment to exceptional ingredients, healing Ayurvedic principles, and the deep care with which we serve our community.

This transition is not about changing who we are—it is about building a stronger foundation so Divya’s Kitchen can continue nourishing people for years to come.

If this space matters to you, please support us today and help us rebuild a stronger foundation for the next chapter. Every contribution and every share makes a real difference right now.

Thank you, and God bless you.

With love and gratitude,

Divya and Prentiss Alter

How NOT to Detox the Liver – with Dr Raskin; plus: SAVE Divya’s Kitchen! – Your SV Ayurveda Newsletter April 9, 2026, #13, Vol 16

April 10, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Vaidya Mishra took Mahasamadhi on April 13, 2017, leaving us an encyclopaedic SV Ayurvedic legacy that defies the passage of time. His “shakties” – divine creative feminine energy incarnations – have been busy spreading the SVA light through knowledge and courses, consultations, and most importantly food!

In this issue of our newsletter we feature Dr Lisa Raskin (D.C) – she sheds light on the oft ignored and misunderstood role and function of the liver, and more importantly, its detox.

We also feature another powerful shakti, Divya Alter. Divya came to SVA when she was having health issues 15 years ago. Vaidya Mishra and Dr Marianne Teitelbaum helped her recover fully through SVA protocols. Divya discovered and experienced the power of SV Ayurveda and has, along with her husband and business partner – Prentiss, worked at spreading SV Ayurveda through books, and their delicious NYC based fully vegetarian and pranic restaurant. However, things have been tough of late.

As we are all aware, the world is going through a great rough transition – at home, as well as globally. We don’t lose heart because we know it is always a happy ending no matter how bumpy the ride; however, we still have to survive the darkest hours that come just before sunlight…

The

Liver

in the

SVA Perspective

Vaidya Mishra used to say that if we built a factory that did everything the liver does, it would be one mile long and one mile wide. That’s how complex the liver is! How much it’s actually doing.

He taught me that the liver has five burners – five agnis – while the other organs of digestion only have one. It runs warm.

It performs over 500 chemical reactions every single day. It processes everything that comes into the body.

And he couldn’t believe how toxic Western livers were.

You’ve been told your liver “detoxes.” That it filters out bad stuff and needs to be “cleansed” or “flushed.”

And yes – it does that.

But that’s barely scratching the surface of what your liver actually does.

Every single day, your liver decides which hormones get activated and which get broken down. It regulates blood sugar and determines how fuel gets delivered to your cells. It processes fats so they can actually be used for energy and repair. It filters the blood supplying your brain and heart. It determines whether inflammation resolves or keeps building.

When your liver is functioning well, everything flows.

Digestion works. Hormones balance. Energy stabilizes. Your mind clears.

When your liver is overloaded, everything backs up.

And I see this constantly in my practice.

Women who eat clean but still feel foggy. Take handfuls of supplements that don’t seem to work. Have stubborn hormonal issues that won’t resolve. Deal with inflammation, skin problems, or mood swings that make no sense.

It’s not lack of effort. It’s that the liver can’t manage all these functions anymore.

And here’s what Vaidya taught me about why this happens:

The liver only recognizes food.

When you give it anything else – synthetic supplements, processed food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals – it has to work incredibly hard to turn those substances into something it can process.

This exhausts the liver.

And here’s where Vaidya’s teachings diverge from anything you’ll find in Western medicine – or even most alternative medicine. 

Underneath so many of these cases, what SVA recognizes is heat in the liver. (The liver can be burdened in other ways too – congestion, clogging, and more – but heat is what drives so many of these symptoms.) 

When the liver heats up, that heat overflows into the blood.

Hot blood travels through your entire body.

Eventually, the immune system heats up too.

And when the immune system gets hot, it loses its fine intelligence.

It starts attacking the body instead of protecting it.

This is how autoimmune disease begins – not with bad genetics or bad luck, but with an overheated immune system that has lost its ability to distinguish self from invader.

Over time, the liver stops being able to manage all the functions it’s supposed to. Everything starts backing up.

This is why food timing matters. Why spices matter. Why fat quality matters. Why rest matters. Why emotional stress matters.

They all either support the liver’s ability to function well – or they heat it up and exhaust it.

Healing doesn’t start with “more detox.”

It starts with helping the liver do what it already knows how to do.

When the liver cools down and can function properly again, the body often corrects itself.

Hormones balance. Inflammation resolves. Energy returns. The fog lifts.

The immune system remembers how to protect instead of attack.

Not because you pushed harder or cleansed more aggressively. 

Because you gave your liver what it actually needed – food it recognizes, practices that cool it down, space to do its work.

Next week I’ll share why most detox protocols backfire – and what actually works.

If this resonates and you’re trying to make sense of your symptoms, this is exactly the kind of pattern I help people understand.
