After some reflection and investigation, I discovered that Ayurveda is often presented in a rigid and unintuitive manner, which is a departure from its original purpose as a nurturing and health-promoting science. This made me consider my own experiences with Ayurveda. I learned intuitively through immersion, much like one acquires a first language effortlessly. This realisation led me to the conclusion that Ayurveda ought to be shared as a comprehensive set of principles that can be applied holistically, as opposed to a list of practices or prescriptions.

Celtic Sea Salt is Superfood and we've been supplying it at Ancient Purity since we began. I learned about it in an old book my grandmother had I think called Salt & Your Health, sorry I can't remember the author but it was the first step in learning that Salt could actually be good for you, vital for you. I've been using it myself since and when we started in 2011 it was one of the first products I bought in. The sea minerals and clay found in salt flats give natural Celtic Sea Salt its light grey colour. This salt is particularly beneficial because the clay ionises the minerals present in it. It has a unique flavour that is highly regarded in the culinary world, making it the preferred option for many. Even when stored in a cool place for an extended period, the salt remains moist to the touch. Light grey Celtic sea salt is dried naturally using only the sun and wind, and it does not undergo any processing or refinement. This makes it the ideal coarse salt for cooking purposes.

The fundamental idea embedded in Native American life is that "We are the Land." The Earth is not a separate entity from ourselves, but rather, it is a significant, dynamic, and real part of our being. This knowledge is not associated with romanticized sentiments towards nature, but rather, it is a matter of fact that is known from infancy and remembered at levels of awareness beyond consciousness. Forest Bathing practices in North America, Australia, and New Zealand promote the recognition of ancestral lands, acknowledgement of historical wrongdoings, and the recognition of indigenous people's symbiotic relationship with nature. Despite a decrease in perceptions of connection with nature in modern Western society, studies have shown that a high level of nature-connectedness is beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as environmental behaviour.

Asthma inflames the airways, affecting approximately 300 million individuals worldwide, with the incidence rate increasing by 50% every decade and causing over 180,000 deaths per year. The exact cause of Asthma can vary, but viral infections, allergens, tobacco smoke, exercise, stress, and obesity are known risk factors that can trigger or worsen symptoms. Childhood "waxs" and their timing have also been linked to some cases of Asthma. However, several studies indicate that exclusive breastfeeding during the first three months after birth reduces Asthma risk by 30% due to the immunomodulatory properties of breast milk. For those currently suffering from Asthma, there are natural remedies that can help relieve symptoms. Below are some proven ways to do so.
