Psychedelics are increasingly being investigated for their therapeutic potential in treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This is done through "psychedelic-assisted therapy," where a controlled dose of a psychedelic substance, like psilocybin, is administered in a therapeutic setting to help patients explore and gain insights into their experiences. The therapy involves preparation before the session, the medicine administration, and the integration of insights with the therapist afterward. Join Amelia Holden, MSW, RSW and Paras. In this soulful conversation, Paras sits down with Amelia—a gifted therapist and medicine woman—who journeyed to experience ceremonial earth medicine firsthand.

What does it mean when your own body begins to turn on itself? In this soul-stirring episode of The Ayurvedic Therapist, Paras dives deep into the rising wave of autoimmune conditions among women—and uncovers what lies beneath the surface: chronic depletion, emotional self-abandonment, and the forgotten wisdom of the divine feminine. At the heart of this conversation is Shatavari—the legendary Ayurvedic herb known as “she who has a hundred husbands.”But what does that truly mean?And what does our collective discomfort with this symbolism reveal about our relationship to receptivity, nourishment, and support? Drawing from Ayurveda, trauma-informed wisdom, and ancient feminine archetypes, Paras explores: Why autoimmune disease is often a consequence of unhealed stress and overgiving How the gut and nervous system mirror our boundaries, worth, and unmet needs The sacred story of Shatavari and what it teaches us about feminine energy Why burnout is not just physical—but a loss of reverence for the feminine How we begin to restore—not just our immune systems, but our souls This episode is a reclamation.Of softness. Of slowness. Of sacredness.Of the right to be nourished, held, and honored—just for being. If you're a woman who's tired of surviving… this is your invitation to remember who you are.

Hi love, in today's episode, we're talking about the hidden dangers in children's packaged foods and how they impact both physical and emotional health. Artificial food dyes and ultra-processed foods have been linked to ADHD, behavioral issues, and rising rates of childhood obesity and autoimmune disorders. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these foods kill Agni, the digestive fire that governs health and clarity. Children aren't born with strong Agni—it must be nurtured with warm, simple, nourishing foods. When we feed them processed, synthetic products, we create Ama—toxic buildup that leads to digestive issues, mood swings, immune problems, and long-term disease. Instead, we can return to nature, using real ingredients, gentle spices like ginger and cumin, and conscious food choices to support their growing bodies and spirits. It's not about perfection—it's about awareness, and raising children rooted in clarity, health, and joy.
