According to classical Ayurvedic wisdom, Autumn is one of the most ideal times to eliminate Ama (toxins), especially when it's done gently and in rhythm with nature. Ama is known as the root cause of disease—a heavy, sticky substance formed when food, thoughts, or experiences are not fully digested. It blocks the channels of the body and mind, and creates imbalance.
You don’t need an extreme cleanse—Ayurveda is all about gentle, sustainable support. Here are some of our favourite ways to clear Ama:
Triphala – The Gentle Detoxifier
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) – The Rejuvenating Cleanser
Trikatu – The Agni Igniter
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) – The Lymph Mover
Dashamoola – The Vata-Pacifying Detox
The Subtle Body & the Field of Life Force
• Carly Merlo
Beyond the physical body lies a vast and intricate energetic system known in Ayurveda as the subtle body. This includes the chakras (energy centers), nadis (energy channels), and prana (life force) — a vibrant network that mirrors our emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
While our physical anatomy is visible and tangible, the subtle body operates on a more refined level, constantly receiving and transmitting energetic information. This is where true healing often begins — before symptoms appear in the physical body.
Ayurveda teaches that health is the result of a harmonious flow of prana through the nadis and chakras. When prana is vibrant and unblocked, we experience clarity, vitality, and a sense of connection to something greater than ourselves. This “something greater” can be seen as the universal field of energy — a subtle, intelligent force that animates all life.
Many spiritual and healing traditions speak of this field — it is not bound by space or time, and it holds the potential for deep transformation. When we meditate, chant mantras, or receive healing touch, we’re not just calming the nervous system — we’re tuning into this field of life force.
You can support your subtle body through:
Breathwork (Pranayama) to guide and strengthen prana.
Meditation to access the stillness of the field.
Mantra chanting to activate the vibration of healing.
Abhyanga (self-massage) to ground and integrate energy.
It is our hope that our Ayurvedic products help to support your connection to this subtle body — not just as remedies, but as tools for remembrance. Whether you're applying our dosha-balancing oils during abhyanga, sipping a calming tea during meditation, or using one of organic dried herbs, each ritual becomes an invitation to return home to yourself.
In a world that often pulls us outward, these small, intentional practices remind us of our innate wisdom and wholeness. You don’t have to wait until symptoms arise — healing begins the moment you choose to align with your energy, your breath, and your inner light.
