Episode Synopsis

Today Jody welcomes Carly Merlo, owner of Bio Veda to the podcast to discuss the A-Z of Ayurvedic oils and how different medicated oils are prized for the healing process.Ayurveda has been using oils on the body, hair and internally for thousands of years, black sesame oil or coconut oil are used as the carriers for the medicinal herbs which are warmed and then applied to the skin before bathing.Bala oil is the oil of choice of Shirodhara, a therapeutic treatment that works to calm Vata in the Body.Saffron oil is treasured by many as a transformative oil for the face, Neeli Bhringraj is a wonderful oil  we use for thinning or greying hair, Anu Thailum is used to clear sinus congestion and Gum and Mouth oil is used for oil pulling to nourish and strengthen the gums and mouth.Carly speaks in detail about the many benefits of the large range of oils her company sells, she describes how to store and apply them and the oils that are best suited to the different constitutions. Dinacharya is a self care routine that Ayurveda encourages, Carly talks about tongue scraping, oil pulling, sun gazing, nasya and abyangha and how practising these routinely can benefit both our bodies and our minds.Connect with Carly & Bio Vedahttps://www.bioveda.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOoo6eLoL4lbPby8hNZgiCEjChfCbRZX_eHElXTIYhzPo4rz2l2iIWork with JodyOne on One Ayurvedic Consultationshttps://www.jodyvassallo.com/ayurveda"Send us a message"Connect:Website • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/Gather • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/gatherInstagram • https://instagram.com/jodyvassallobeautifulfoodNewsletter • https://jodyvassallo.substack.com/Contact • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/contactSupport the Show:Leave a review on Apple • https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/changing-seasons-podcast/id1757970211Credits:Host: Jody VassalloProduction: Sovereign Creator • https://sovereigncreator.io© Changing Seasons.
