Nettle is known for its ability to relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), a condition in which the prostate becomes enlarged and causes men to develop problems with urination. Nettle helps men to urinate more successfully during the day, and thus helps eliminate another annoying symptom of BPH—frequent nighttime urination.

As a daily tea (3x/day), nettle’s high mineral content nourish whole the body

Nettle tea benefits anemic, undernourished individuals. It is used for chronic respiratory, digestive and urinary tract illnesses that involve excessive mucus. Nettle is used for hay fever, asthma, arthritis and edema, and best used for long term in treating chronic illnesses.

Cool nettle tea is a wonderful diuretic high in potassium, helping it effectively release excessive water and edema from the body without depleting potassium levels, as most diuretic medications do. This makes it useful for urinary problems such as stopped urine, gravel, bladder and kidney infections and enlarged prostate. The young greens make a nutritious and tasty food in soups, stir-fry, steamed and in casseroles. Long term use this herb is necessary for true effects in malnutrition.

Nettle Tea can relieve acne and other skin issues

It has been established that Nettle Tea can relieve acne and other skin issues very effectively. Nettle tea does this by cleansing your kidneys and your blood which in turn gives you healthy skin. It accomplishes this as it’s a natural detox and anti-inflammatory.

Nettle tea during pregnancy

Nettle will aid kidneys, nourish the mother and fetus, ease leg cramps and muscle spasms, reduce hemorrhoids, decrease pain during and after birth, prevent hemorrhage after birth, and increase richness and amount of breast milk. It also prevents kidney and bladder infections, prevents anemia, and glucosuria. Nettles are high in vitamins A, C, K, calcium, potassium, and iron. Use in smaller amounts during pregnancy.

My journey down the path of healing arts started in 1995 when I discovered meditation and macrobiotic philosophy.  Along the way, I attended many healing courses, yoga and vedic studies, and learned a lot about aromatherapy, herbalism, massage and energy work.

After I finished my studies at the University of Political Science in Zagreb, Croatia, I continued my work as a journalist for a daily newspaper and as a free-lance reporter for many magazines. For the last 15 years I used my knowledge to combine spiritual ways in my busy corporate lifestyle. After 15 stressfull but successful years in journalism I was ready to achieve a spiritual balance and bring more quality in my Life.

Life & Love brought me to America. Here I finished Ayurvedic education at California College of Ayurveda.

It is my pleasure to go along with you on Your Path of balancing body, mind and soul. Once balanced, you can fill life’s fulfillment, great energy and infinite happiness.

The way of Ayurveda is the tradition of massage which becomes an important ritual to celebrate the purification of body and mind. Luxuriously relaxing, blissfully comforting, the Abhyanga massage gently applies warm oils to relieve accumulated stress and toxins from the body and mind as well.  It is nourishing for all body types.

Utilizing the ayurvedic principles of  dosha  we accede to anyone individually, using different oils according to proper constitution and dosha (cooling coconut oil for balancing excess pitta or for treating cellulite, warm sesame oil to stimulate circulation for almost always cold vata…) In our practice, we use medicated oils and aromatherapy essential oils as well.

PROMO PRICE – AYURVEDIC BODY MASSAGE::

1 hour = $65 (regular price = $100)

Please make an appointment at: 310 283 7872 or email: tanja@lightofayurveda.com

Some of the benefits that can be expected from the regular performance of this pleasant warm oil ritual:

•    Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings
•    Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology
•    Calming for the nerves
•    Lubrication of the joints
•    Increased mental alertness
•    Improved elimination of impurities from the body
•    Softer, smoother skin
•    Increased levels of stamina through the day
•    Better, deeper sleep at night
•    Relieves fatigue
•    Promotes health in many ways.

VATA: SESAME OIL
Vata nature types tend to be cold, that’s why sesame oil (warm in nature) is best for Vata. Massaging the body with sesame oil quickly improves circulation and promotes healing tissues. Sesame oil has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anticancer effects on the skin.

PITTA: COCONUT OIL
Always hot pitta types enjoy cooling coconut oil! Great for menopausal women experiencing hot flashes.

KAPHA: SAFFLOWER OIL
Kapha nature is heavy, and safflower oil is the lightest of oils, that’s why it especially benefits Kapha.

Ayurveda recommends different base oils and aroma blends depending on what you are attempting to balance. Coconut oil, for example, is an excellent cooling base oil. When combined with a relaxing aroma oil such as lavender, this massage oil will be effective in cooling down the mind, body and emotions. Sweet Orange or Geranium Rose aroma oils are fragrant and relaxing, Basil and Rosemary are vibrant pick-me-ups…
