Digestion = Agni

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC's avatarCape Ann Wellness

Through the lens of Ayurveda we are what we “digest” not what we eat.

If we don’t digest our food we start to form “Ama”. Ama is a Sanskrit word, which literally means undigested or uncooked. The first stage of disease is also sometimes called Ama “toxins”.

Ayurveda also explains another entity called “Agni”. This word literally means fire. But in this context it means digestive fire. As long as the digestive fire is strong, Ama cannot be formed in the body. Agni (digestive fire) helps to melt down and flush out Ama (toxins) from the body.

Weak Agni (digestive fire) becomes weak by eating out of one’s constitution (Vata, Pitta or Kapha), eating the same foods, overeating, drinking too much water with meals, staying up late, resisting the urge to eat and eating at irregular times.

Psoriasis

Seaside Garden Club Auction Thank You

kwillwerth's avatarCape Ann Community

The Seaside Garden Club’s annual auction was a huge success this year!  A nice crowd filled the Manchester Community Center on Tuesday, May 9th for a chance to bid on the many items. A plant sale was added this year and preceded the auction.

Many wonderful donations contributed to the success of the auction.  Local businesses, including Ryan & Wood Distilleries, Brick End Farms, Sea Meadow Gifts, Neptune’s Harvest and Talbot’s donated generously to the auction.  Among the items generating heavy bidding was mulch donated by Pallazola Brothers Landscaping, hand crafted Garden Art pieces and beautiful hanging baskets from Marshall’s Farm Stand, Wolf Hill and Marini Farms.

Many other businesses donated beautiful plant material, including HerbFARMacy, Gordon’s Florist, Asbury Gardens, and Chapman’s Greenhouse/Juel Gifts.  The donated plant material complemented the many large healthy perennials from our members’ gardens.

The crowd will be dining out this summer on the gift certificates…

Wanderbird Open House At Gloucester Marine Railways Saturday May 27th

Good morning Joey. It’s Rick here from the vessel Wanderbird over at Gloucester Marine Railways. Hey we are having an open house on the vessel Saturday May 27, 1500-1800. The purpose is to introduce folks to our new floating gathering area for groups of families and/or friends. We are anticipating offering an afternoon or evening aboard at harbor side for groups of up to 12. The evening would start with snacks and wine while sitting in comfortable chairs on the open deck. We would then move into the coach house for appetizers of maybe local scallops wrapped in bacon and then dinner of possible local fresh sole picatta, wild rice and rolls from a near by bakery. To sum it up, a group of 12 can spend the evening on a beautiful vessel, eating and drinking all while getting close up in personal with one of the finest kind harbors we’ve ever met. Can you help us promote this to your loyal followers? Cheers, Rick
