The intensely fragrant resin has been used for centuries to support digestion, balance Vata, and as an alternative to garlic and onions.

Copper Cups in Ayurveda

Why copper water (Tamra Jala) is more than just a trend At first glance, a copper cup seems simple. Yet, it holds knowledge that has been passed down for millennia. In Ayurveda, copper is called Tamra. If water is stored in a copper vessel for several hours, Tamra Jala – copper water – is created. According to Ayurvedic understanding, water takes on the properties of the vessel in which it rests. Copper is considered clarifying, activating, and structuring.

Understanding obesity: causes, background information and a holistic path back to balance

A question we rarely ask ourselves in everyday life – yet one that can set many things in motion. When we begin to pay closer attention, a common theme emerges for many people: excess weight. Often subtle, sometimes burdensome. Not just as a number on the scale, but as a sign of inner imbalance, of exhaustion, or of habits that have crept in and become entrenched over time.

Turmeric in Ayurveda: The golden spice for body and mind

For millennia, it has shimmered in a warm, sun-yellow hue – the root of Curcuma longa, usually called turmeric in German.

What was once considered a treasure in the Indian household medicine cabinet has long since conquered the world. In an era where many people are seeking natural, mindful paths to well-being and vitality, turmeric is experiencing a new heyday. It stands for the desire to gently bring body and mind into balance – entirely in the spirit of the millennia-old Ayurvedic teachings.

Calcium in Ayurveda: Natural Sources & Better Absorption

Calcium is one of the most important minerals required for the body’s normal functioning. Most people connect calcium only with bones, but it also contributes to normal teeth, muscle function, nerve signalling, blood clotting, and everyday body movement. Around 99% of the body’s calcium is stored in bones and teeth, which is why regular intake through food is important for long-term bone maintenance and overall well-being.

Ayurvedic Skincare in Summer: A Natural Routine for Healthy, Calm Skin

Summer can be beautiful, but it often brings skin challenges due to heat, sweat, sun exposure, dehydration, pollution, and air-conditioning. These factors can affect the skin’s natural balance, making it feel oily, dry, sensitive, or dull. Ayurveda emphasises seasonal living (Ritucharya) and suggests adapting diet, lifestyle, and skincare according to environmental changes. During Grishma Ritu (summer season), classical Ayurvedic texts describe the environment as hot, dry, and energy-depleting. Because of this, cooling, hydrating, and soothing routines are traditionally recommended to help maintain overall balance and skin comfort.
