How Ayurveda Can Help Us Live Better | Anita Kaushal, MAULI RITUALS

takeaways

1. Anita Kaushal shares how Morley Rituals was born out of grief after losing her 11-year-old daughter to a brain tumour, and how building the brand became part of her own healing.

2. The central message that 'when we give to ourselves, we have more to give others' runs through the episode — framing self-compassion and self-care as the foundation for caring for others.

3. Ayurveda is described as 'tools for living' — a daily way of life covering when you wake, sleep, eat and move, rooted in Anita's Indian heritage and family lineage.

4. The conversation explores the three mind-body types (vata/air, pitta/fire, kapha/earth), how to recognise your own constitution, and the idea of being 'the true you' rather than trying to be someone you're not.

5. Daily Ayurvedic rituals discussed include meditation, stretching, oil pulling, tongue scraping, self-massage with oil, and applying oil to the nostrils and ears.

6. Topics covered include seasonal, local, organic eating, keeping a food and emotional diary, intermittent fasting with lunch as the main meal, adaptogens (amla, ashwagandha, shatavari, triphala) with breaks, and the gut as the root of dis-ease.
