Hot Stone Massage uses a combination of warmed basalt stones, massage oil, and massage technique to promote relaxation and pain relief. First - the massage stones are heated in a hot stone warmer. Then I use a preferred oil to gently massage the body. In sessions - I use the heated stones as extensions of my hands for a deep muscle massage.

Soone of the things that can happen during our Shelter in place is a bit of stagnation.. Perhaps we are sitting more, not active quite in the way that we are used to. What ever the reason, keeping our digestion stimulated is an important task. One way to support one’s digestive fire or Agni is to use Trikatu Churna. Ayurvedic practitioners consider this Spice mix ( Choorna ) to be a "warming formula that awakens Agni, and " destroys Ama. ( Ama= toxins) Trikatu has ...anti-inflammatory and anti-helminthes properties. It helps in removing the worms ( yes parasites ) out of the body and thus improving the digestive functions. Consuming a small amount ( 1/2 t) of Trikatu daily before lunch is ideal to aid in supporting one’s Agni. It can be mixed with a little honey and licked and followed by a small amount of warm water Trikatu enhances the metabolic activity and rapid absorption of the nutrients, and boosts metabolism Trikatu is a Sanskrit word that translates to three spices or three peppers. Trikatu is an Ayurvedic blend of equal parts of the fruits of black pepper (Piper nigrum), long pepper (Piper longum), and the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale). A few folks who may want to avoid this specific Trikatu Chorna This would be the following ; 1.Those taking MAOI’s, SSRI’s, antidepressants, NSAIDS, corticosteroids or certain other medications should not take this product. 2 folks with Hyper acidity, or gastric ulcers. 3 Those who have heart burn, Pitta type skin issues ( fiery rashes/ bleeding sores , and folks with any internal bleeding. 4 Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take ingest it. One of my favorite purveyors is Svastha Ayurveda - Danille Martin, of Boulder CO. She has done a great job of creating an Ayurvedic Apothecary. Here is a link for her Trikatu choorna https://svasthaayurveda.com/product/trikatu-churna-2/
