Updated: Aug 22
Welcome to a refreshing journey towards balance and harmony with our delightful dosha-balancing summer mocktail recipes. In the vibrant tapestry of Ayurvedic principles, finding equilibrium within your mind, body, and spirit is key, and what better way to do so than with a glass of cooling and nourishing mocktail tailored to your dosha type?
Understanding Your Dosha
In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of holistic healing, doshas are elemental forces that govern our physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. There are three main doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, each representing a unique combination of the elements -- air, fire, water, earth, and space. By understanding your dominant dosha, you can align your lifestyle, including your diet, to promote balance and well-being.

Healthy Digestion Begins in the Mind.
When we eat and drink, it's important to have a calm state of mind. Have you ever eaten when you were upset? Indigestion city. When we're calm, we taste the food, digest, assimilate, and eliminate optimally. Digestion begins in the mind before you take your first sip of bite!
There is a saying, "The mind is more in the body, than the body is in the mind." The Saumya 3 step meditation process shifts us from fight-flight-freeze mode, to rest-restore-relax mode. Give it a try for forty days and observe the changes. The more grounded and relaxed we are, the smoother life flows.
"The breath is the connection between the mind and body, so by training the breath, we become calm, focused, and grounded, we slow down the aging process by decreasing stress. These practices are so simple and easy to have as part of our daily life. We actually feel and look younger."
- Veena, Saumya Ayurveda

"Choose a couple of practices from the routines that provide you with the greatest support. Perform them while applying our two minute meditation technique and your mundane tasks, just transformed into a mellifluous meditation. This is meditation applied to daily life." - Veena, Saumya Ayurveda
"Veena was able to help me regain my energy in just a few months and I’m feeling like my “young” self again! I love the food plan she designed for me, and all the supporting practices (am/pm routines, breathing techniques, herbs, and spice mixes) are so enjoyable to incorporate into my day. I highly recommend Saumya Ayurveda if you want to feel better and have more vitality.”
