The Simple Ayurveda Podcast: Episode 133
Join Angela and guest William Jackson in this episode: The Path of Ghee and Medicinal Mushrooms.
Will brings to the table an amazing blend of Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and other wellness systems from around the world which beautifully explains so much. In Ayurveda, mushrooms are considered tamastic (associated with darkness), and Angela asks why this is so. Will’s not afraid to give us an answer!

• Spiritual Geography and the importance of bringing Awareness into all aspects of life
• The role of mushrooms and Ayurveda
• Will's favorite mushrooms to work with in general, as well as with ghee
• The importance of being conscious of the plants and herbs themselves and their properties
