    Apr 24 2025
    In this episode, Colette addresses questions from the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community, including an insightful question about hair thinning and hair loss. She discusses the potential root causes of this issue and shares holistic tips to support healing for both body and mind. She also delves into the 20 gunas, or 10 pairs of opposites, which are fundamental in Ayurvedic healing. These qualities are essential for understanding the nature of everything around us—including our body, mind, food, environment, and even our emotions. During the episode, Colette provides a detailed explanation of how Ayurveda uses these gunas to perceive the world and in healing the body, restoring balance and preventing dis-ease.
