I speak directly to the modern warrior woman who juggles multiple roles and often feels depleted.

(14:32) Nurturing Immunity and Longevity With Ashwagandha

This chapter explores the concept of rasayana in Ayurveda, which promotes a long and healthy life by optimizing ojas, the subtle essence of immunity. Ashwagandha, when combined with other herbs like Triphala, Brahmi, or Shankhapushpi, can increase its healing properties, providing strength, anti-aging benefits, and relief from various ailments. I also share practical ways to incorporate ashwagandha into daily routines, such as consuming it with milk or alternatives like almond or oat milk for those with dietary restrictions.
