VEDA
Veda means knowledge or science. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term made up of two words "veda" and ”ayus”. ”Ayus” means life so Ayurveda thus means ”the knowledge of life”. (As many of you maybe know).

Lately I've been more interested in this one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. I went to an Ayurvedic consultation a few weeks ago just because I'm curious and wanted to know more about it. Ayurveda gives perfect tools for preventing diseases also. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on the balance between mind, body, and spirit. (So much in common with yoga.)

I use sesame oil daily on my body, I don’t prefer raw food anymore but the opposite: warm, cooked foods. Kitchari has become one of my favourite foods. I prioritise going early to bed and I try to remember that a regular daily routine is very important for me to keep my vata in balance.

Do you know your dosha? ☺️
