Meet Ingrid Naiman, Hostess of DoshaBalance.com - Asian Philosophy and Healing

http://www.doshabalance.com/ingrid_naiman.html

Thank you for your interest in Ayurveda, constitutional balance, my work, and me! This page was blank for several years because it is so hard to write about myself. My interest in Asia began while still a teenager, mainly through a sort of psychospiritual revolution that included the embracing of Buddhism and eventually culture, languages, and even cuisine and medicine. I became interested in ethnobotany, wrote a book on botanical treatments of cancer. And started a line of herbs under the label of Sacre...

Digestive Fire - Agni - Pitta - Appetite - DoshaBalance.com

However, due to mixed types, there are actually quite a few variations, such as combinations of pitta and vata in which vata is higher than pitta or vice versa. In any event, we all have some of each element and therefore usually some degree of dosha aggravation of one type or another. Type, are particularly admonished not ...
