Amrit Kalash Ambrosia Tablets, Amrit Kalash Nectar Paste, and Worry Free
Got the blues
from time to time?
Stress is a normal part of everyday life. Sometimes it can be a good thing, giving your mind and body a chance to adapt and strengthen. Stress only becomes a problem when it accumulates, leaving you feeling run down, frazzled, and emotionally depleted. When your body is stressed, your muscles tense up, your digestion gets out of whack, your sleep patterns change, and your mind can feel agitated or foggy. Over time, this can lead to weight gain, digestive problems, relationship challenges, and other unwanted issues.
Fortunately, with the wisdom of Ayurveda, you can minimize the detrimental effects of stress through simple self-care practices that nurture mind, body, and spirit and help you de-stress–naturally.
THE AYURVEDIC APPROACH
From the Ayurvedic perspective, it’s important to 1) take steps to alleviate discomfort in the moment, and 2) tackle the root cause of stress. By following simple, long-term diet, herbal, and lifestyle recommendations, you can build your own innate resilience over time.
Short-term:
Ease discomfort with
synergistic herbal supplements.
Long term:
Tackle the root cause of stress. Strengthen your immune system with long-term diet, herbal, and lifestyle recommendations to boster mind and body and build resilience over time.
Short-term strategies
Let’s start with some potent herbal formulas to help reclaim your inner calm in the short term.
How Can We Help You with
Your Emotions Today?
1
I Am Worried, Frazzled & Occasionally Anxious
In the past week or two, have you been feeling worried, frazzled, scattered, or occasionally anxious? Do you tend to feel like your mind is constantly abuzz? If this sounds familiar, you might have a Vata imbalance!
In Ayurveda, Vata is the mind-body element (or dosha) associated with air and space. Vata dosha is responsible for all the movement and processes in your body—from your breathing and elimination to the movement of thoughts in your mind. When Vata dosha is out of balance, you may feel spaced-out and scattered, your mind awhirl with thoughts and worry.
Soothe frayed nerves with this calming collection of comforting, Vata-balancing Ayurvedic herbal remedies, which help you de-stress by downregulating your stress response and soothing frayed nerves.

I Am Frustrated, Angry & Irritable
Feeling like you have a short fuse? Have you been experiencing intense bursts of frustration, irritability, and anger recently? If so, you probably have a Pitta imbalance.
Pitta is the Ayurvedic mind-body element (dosha) associated with fire and water. Pitta dosha is responsible for the metabolic processes in your body—particularly your digestive fire. When Pitta dosha is out of balance, your temperament might get a bit fiery, too.
Try these cooling, soothing, Pitta-balancing Ayurvedic herbal remedies, which are designed to help ease tension and build inner contentment and confidence.

Got The Blues From Time To Time?
Got the blues from time to time? Some people tend to get bogged down by the weight of the world. If you’ve been feeling dull, sluggish, lethargic, and a bit down in the dumps lately, you might have a Kapha imbalance.
In Ayurveda, Kapha dosha is the mind-body element associated with earth and water. Kapha dosha governs your body’s structure and tissues, from your bones to your muscles. When Kapha is out of balance, you naturally feel heavier in both mind and body.
Ayurvedic herbs can give you a little mood boost, naturally.

3 Easy Yoga Poses to Calm the Mind & Emotions
Feeling overwhelmed? Exercise is one of the best things you can do to bring things back into perspective.
How does exercise reduce stress? In addition to boosting your circulation and mood, it also decreases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, while stimulating the production of feel-good chemicals like endorphins. Walking, running, swimming, stretching, hiking, biking, and aerobics are all great ways to get your body moving and stimulate endorphins. Yoga–the sister science of Ayurveda–is also one of the best stress-relieving exercises out there. Studies have shown that yoga is extremely beneficial at calming the mind, promoting relaxation, and improving your overall sense of well-being. Not to mention for toning the body and breath too.
Take 5–10 minutes to get back in touch with your body and breath with these three easy Maharishi Yoga Āsanas. All Maharishi Yoga Āsanas help the mind and body to relax and unwind, but these three are particularly helpful.
TIPS
1
Do each āsana to your level of comfort, without strain or force.2
The recommended duration of each pose is approximate. You can hold any pose for less time.3
Remember to breathe normally and naturally throughout your practice.4

Suggested foods THAT
WILL HELP WITH STRESS
As the old saying goes, you are what you eat. And in Ayurveda, certain foods are deemed especially valuable when it comes to managing stress. Generally speaking, it’s beneficial to follow a whole foods diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fresh produce, and healthy fats like olive oil and ghee. When you’re feeling especially stressed, keep these simple “food for stress” suggestions and recipes in mind.
Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, which can help you sleep better at night. Try sprinkling some into your salads and sautés.
Whole Milk
Rich in tryptophan and calcium, whole milk helps to regulate natural melatonin, which helps you sleep.
Almonds
Not only do almonds deliver a great shot of protein, almonds contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and other nutrients that support a healthy brain and better sleep.
Foods and Stress: What to Avoid
Did you know that certain foods can trigger your body’s stress response? Just as following a whole foods diet can help you manage stress naturally, eating certain foods can exhaust and deplete your energy stores. You may not be surprised to learn the main culprits: caffeinated beverages and junk foods.
Caffeinated Beverages
Coffee, black tea, and other caffeinated beverages are okay for some people, but they’re best avoided if you’re feeling wound up and having trouble sleeping.
Junk Food
Sugary sweets and overly salted, fried, or processed foods deplete your energy. Instead, reach for healthy, whole-foods snacks and foods that fuel your mind and body.
STRESS-BUSTING RECIPES
Guest recipe by Laurina Carroll!
Avocado on Bread
Use homemade gluten-free bread, or store-bought bread or crackers.
When I travel, I always have avocados in the car, or I carry them on the plane when I fly. I bring a spoon, some salt, and a lemon. Simple Mills makes great gluten-free almond crackers that I love when I don’t have time to bake bread. You can add pesto, sauerkraut, or a pickle.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add sugarless organic jam and tahini or sunflower seed butter with avocado on bread. It’s so delicious and nutritious.

Walnut Burgers
Walnuts are considered natural stress-busters in Ayurveda. One walnut a day is good for growing children as it is considered to have "medhya" qualities-nourishing for the brain.
Key Ingredients
3 cups filtered water
1 cup rice
½ cup quinoa
¼ cup oats
½ cup organic walnuts, hand crushed into small pieces
1 large organic leek, chopped medium or ½ a large onion
Emotional Balance Spice Mix
Spices are more than just tasty seasonings. They can help purify ama (toxins)—both physical and emotional. Try this peppery blend.
Key Ingredients
1 part ground black pepper
1 part ground dried ginger
2 parts ground coriander
3 parts ground cumin
2 parts ground turmeric
1 part crushed black cumin (women only)
Ashwagandha Ghee & Sweet Spice Latte
Create calm with this comforting latte featuring one of the most popular Ayurvedic adaptogens—ashwagandha.
Key Ingredients
1 cup homemade cashew milk (or unsweetened store-bought alternative)
1 teaspoon Pure Indian Ashwagandha Ghee
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 ½ teaspoons raw organic honey, or to taste
Optional: more cinnamon as garnish
Slumbertime Tea Tonic
Get a double dose of calm with warm milk and Slumber Time® Tea! In Ayurveda, drinking warm milk before bed is a tasty, traditional ritual to encourage deep sleep. Perfect for days when you need a little extra help de-stressing before bed.
Mindful Eating When Stressed
Word to the wise: try not to wolf your food down on-the-go when you’re feeling stressed! Eating quickly, or while standing or walking, can disrupt your digestion and lead to heartburn, acid indigestion, and other unpleasant issues.
Whenever possible, take a mindful approach to eating. Sit comfortably and quietly in a settled environment, free from distractions (like books, TV, and electronic devices), and turn your attention to your meal. It’s fine to enjoy some light conversation while you eat but try to avoid stressful topics. Your stomach will thank you!
