Wellness Consultant Kirstin Gourlay

Dear Mangosteen Guests,

Every Sunday 7.30 – 8.30 am, Kistin is teaching Meditation Breathwork at the Mangosteen. We strongly recommend you join this excellent way to begin another beautiful day.

After the session there is an opportunity to meet Kirstin and arrange an appointment for a personal Wellness Consultation, usually on the same day.

The session is offered at a promotional rate of 1.000 Baht per person only.

Here is Kistin Gourlay’s Bio:

Kirstin is a Whole Being Wellness Consultant.

Whole Being Wellness is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live a Self-directed life, and reach their full potential.

Kirstin was born in and has spent most of her life in Asia. Her life experience has been one of blending east and west, ancient and modern, and her work reflects this. She operates at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, intuitively drawing from evidenced based epigenetics and mind body medicine.

Through her work in emotional health and addiction recovery, she has learned patterns of the mind and body, and how to approach them to achieve lasting change. She demystifies the mystical, so people have all the tools within their reach to make miraculous changes in their lives. What she has learned over the years is that there is no one size fits all. We are dynamic human beings, and we require a multitude of modalities.

Kirstin’s work supports people to find balance and increase vitality in their lives. This path is for those who have an inner knowing that there is more to life, that we have an untapped potential and when we learn how to access this, we can upgrade life and live out our dreams.

Kirstin is certified in modalities including the Psychoeducation of Human Behaviour, Yoga and Breathwork, Meditation and Mindfulness. She is a Transformational Life Coach, Recovery Coach and Addiction Counsellor, a Cleanse Consultant, and Energy Worker.

Please speak to her on Sunday, if you have any questions, or book a session right now (button below).

We believe this would be an enlightening experience and wish you once more, a pleasant stay.

Healthy greetings from,

Ayurveda Medicine and usage of Herbs and Spices

by Hajo von Keller | Apr 13, 2020 | Ayurveda, The Health Blog

Herbs and Spices

“Herbs and Spices are used since the ages in giving the flavor to the food we consume each day and more even as Medicine in every tradition be it the East or West.”

Traditional Indian medicine (or Ayurveda) is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with many chronic lifestyle ailments showing better results and lesser re-occurrences. While the conventional mainstream medicinal practice has its dominance with emergency care, acute care, Surgical interventions, and Infection management to a huge extent, but it is not disregarded that it does not always outperform traditional ayurvedic approaches in lifestyle and Immune-related ailments.

Conventional as compared to the traditional medicine systems frequently relies on lifelong medication, and the percentage of dependencies on this medicine is always greater, added to that medications do have side-effects and withdrawal symptoms. In and counter circumstances.

Ayurveda with its base of FOOD as MEDICINE has much to offer with a wide range of Herbs and Spice to check on these lifestyle disorders.

General studies have shown that clients on Ayurveda Herbs and Spice with a complimentary dietary regime, Yoga and associated breathing exercises respond well, experiencing a reduction, and sometimes even a cessation, of their symptoms. Most patients begin to take conventional medications as soon as their diagnoses are made, so ayurvedic treatments are usually undergone alongside and/or after conventional medical approaches.

Food plays a major role in ayurvedic practice by supporting the body’s healing processes. Metabolic diseases and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are directly influenced by food. Food can also indirectly affect diseases of the skin, muscles, and joints, as well as any neurological, gynecological, and psychological disease.

Infrequent consumption is unlikely to cause a problem, but frequent consumption of inappropriate foods will cause disease or worsen existing disease. Advice on food depends not only on the disease but also on the disease condition and the dosha involved. Because of this, food advice may change throughout the course of a disease, depending on the stage reached. Interactions between foods and medicines are a major issue. The advice given with regard to food must take account of the medicines prescribed.
