Aromatherapy and Ayurveda Favorites

What Kind of Ayurvedics would suit you? There's a quiz from a previous blog on this topic. Pretty interesting stuff: http://dmfengshuilife.blogspot.com/2008/10/ayurveda-approach.html

I am often asked which Ayurvedic and Aromatherapy products I like. I like the combination of proven herbs and gentle pure products. One style does not fit all, but here are some of my favorite products:

Ayurveda Approach

I am a Kapha in Body, Pitta in Mind. What are you? Take the quiz and find out.

BODY Kapha: Water and Earth In balance, Kapha creates calmness, sweetness, and loyalty.
Out of balance, the Kapha type can cause weight gain, congestion, and resistance to healthy change.

MIND Pitta: Fire and Water In balance, a Pitta is warm, intelligent, and a good leader.
Out of balance, the Pitta can be critical, irritable, and aggressive.
