AC and Isaac Hill interview Meghan Rhodes on The Plant Cunning Podcast
I've got a fresh podcast interview for you with the wonderful AC and Isaac Hill of The Plant Cunning Podcast. It was such a delight to chat with them again and a huge honour to be their 201st episode. Massive congratulations to AC and Isaac for surpassing the 200 episode mark!
An introduction to the Ayurvedic doshas, how to get a sense of your dosha and how the doshas get out of balance in the body
How the doshas manifest in the seasons and cycle across the year
Localising the seasonal dosha dynamics by working with the eight-season wheel of the year
Using the wheel of the year to fine tune your seasonal rhythm - herbs, food, activities, etc.
My tips for bringing balance to autumn/vata season for each dosha
My modern-day take on herbal body oiling (perfect for autumn and winter)
And a fair bit of discussion about bowel movements
With a healthy dose of analogies and caricatures, as always!
