WINTER
a time for rest and reflection, warmth, and comfort.
vata season
Fall and winter are the seasons of Vata, and during this time our bodies benefit from foods that are warming, moist, and grounding. It’s natural to crave comforting meals like soups, freshly baked bread, butter, and pumpkin pie spices as the weather cools—these cravings are wisdom, not indulgence. Along with nourishing foods, Vata season also calls for slower rhythms, cozy rituals, and extra care for the skin, which tends to become drier and more sensitive. Embrace warmth in how you eat, move, and care for yourself, and try to minimize cold, raw foods and over-stimulation during these months.

And then there is, of course the enzymatic wild Post brood honey from our friends Tim and Emma Malfroy. This Pollen and Propolis rich liquid Gold cleanses pores, gently exfoliates, deeply moisturises and lightens pigmentation. Tim and Emma just had their honey tested for Pollen richness, and it was found to have 2,601,285 grains per gram. As a comparison: organic honey was found to have 18,321 grains per gram, and conventional honey between 2,000-10,000 grains per gram. This honey really is next level.
