Vrikshamla, (Garcinia Cambogia)

How Good Is It

For You?

It’s been inordinately hot this summer! And high heat in the Summer time not only aggravates Pitta dosha, but also puts out our digestive fire – pachak agni. This happens for a couple of reasons: the high external temperatures relax our shrotas and our pachak agni gets dispersed. But also: we end up craving AND consuming more (lots more!) soma to cool of the body – in the form of fruits, ice cream, sugary treats… As a result, our digestive fire, pachak agni is twice compromised: it is overloaded with soma foods which put out our agni, AND further imbalance pitta – the body produces more pitta fuel to help digest. But it is not enough. This is ONE of the reasons we catch the “seasonal flu” towards the end of summer – as we accumulate somagenic ama. This is another reason why we feel tired, and emotionally and mentally exacerbated. The heat slows us down, but the heat stuck in our stomach in addition to undigested soma makes everything worse… So what can you do?

Of course, we can go over detailed dietary and routine regimens…. but towards the end of Summer NO ONE even wants to hear any of this! So let’s keep it simple. And delicious! A Garcinia tea to help you reset it all and prep your body for the change of season ahead.

It’s a delicious blend of Vrikshamla, Garcinia cambodia, with Green Cardamom, Cinnamon, Black peppercorns, Nutmeg, and Fennel. This delicious tangy tea will reset your digestive fire, calm your mental strain, and cool off your body. Tangy and delicious, it will help digest any soma foods you eat with ease without sharpening pitta. have one cup before or after meals – anytime of day.

Mental & Emotional Toxins

What They Are & What You Can Do: An Introduction

“Before studying with Vaidya Mishra, I believed that toxins were mostly something we encountered outside ourselves—in polluted air, contaminated water, pesticides, chemicals, or processed foods. Ayurveda certainly recognizes these dangers. But Vaidya Mishra taught something much deeper. He explained that some of the most damaging toxins are created within us.” – Divya Alter
