Aroma Therapy is a significant part of the treatment process in Ayurveda. Our sense to scent is a potent wizard, or wizardess and aromas can transport anyone across time and space.
Astonishingly remarkable Essential oils and plant extracts are known to promote harmony and increase vitality to the max. #restore #vitality #aromatherapy #krishna

Ayurveda teaches that nothing has more power to heal and transform the body and the mind. Our sense of smell is directly connected to our mind’s state of being and powerfully impact our mind through the scents that we breathe.
May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light, within you, guide your way on.
The adrenaline rush that snowboarding gives me lights a fire inside my soul and I know it will be something I do for many years to come. Just like surfing, snowboarding is a board sport that encompasses an entire lifestyle. I am completely in love with the way it makes me feel so in tune with a movement focused on feeling alive. #snowboarding
Nothing says gourmet like a sprinkling of colorful edible flower petals, a tiny bouquet of edible flowers are a fun and a simple way to add color and flavor to all sorts of dishes- especially when you can pick them right from your own garden.
Most edible flowers are best eaten raw. Simply pick and rinse with water. Flowers will taste and look their best right after they have blossomed, rather than after they have been open for a few days.
Not every flower is edible. So stick with flowers that you know you can eat to ensure your safety or check out our edible flowers list below

Eat only the petals, remove stamens and pistils before eating. Do not eat roadside flowers or those picked in public parks. Both may have been treated with pesticide and roadside flowers may be polluted by car exhaust.
If you are allergic to anything, introduce edible flowers gradually, as they may exaggerate the allergies.
Water your flowers and communicate with them as the grow. Flowers are highly intuitive and speak with you in a telepathic language.
Flower tip: Ice water can revitalize limp flowers.
We love flowers and plan on sharing our edible flower series of ebooks coming soon to a smart phone, tablet or any other technical device soon.
