The Simple Ayurveda Podcast: Episode 159



Join Angela in this solo episode: Dhatu Nourishment & Care.

Ayurveda looks at how all parts of us work together in unison rather than in separate systems. In this episode, Angela shares all about each of the seven layers of the physical body - The Dhatus. This topic has been brought up before in this space, and the reason Angela feels it's important to bring it back around is because so many things we do in Ayurveda, such as chewing our food well and getting enough rest, are supportive of the tissues of the body. We we don't do these things, they begin to corrupt and break down. May this episode allow you to begin making the connection between what you do in your life having a direct correlation to what’s happening in your body.

In this episode, learn more about:
• Doshic attack against Agni when they begin to fall out of balance and what that may look like for each dosha
• An overview of when disease happens within the body
• A review of Agni
• Signs of malfunction for each of the seven dhatus and how to begin to provide nourishment and care for each of them
• and more!
