Even though your original “yogic DNA” (called Prakriti) will never change, the changes you notice from external circumstances can make you feel like a different person, for better or worse. Vikruti is a way to more accurately describe your constitution based on what’s happening from moment to moment. It can help you see what health concerns may be on the rise and where your dosha and the elements may be out of alignmen

-
Author Dr. Sacha Elliott, ND
The thyroid gland is the “master control gland” that is located at the base of your throat. It has its hand in all functions of the body as it controls metabolism of every single one of our cells. When the thyroid is overactive, it’s termed hyperthyroidism and the resulting symptoms are that of rapid metabolism: hot body temperature, high blood pressure, fast pulse, racing thoughts, nervousness, insomnia, diarrhea or loose stool, and difficulty putting on weight (wouldn’t that be nice!).

Author Rupina Meer
Normally, inflammation is a defending phenomenon of the immune system to protect us against bacterial and viral invaders and can be a good thing in small doses. Step on a nail and you want white blood cells and the body's inflammatory chemicals to rush in. But chronic systemic inflammation arises from two interacting systems: a play between nature and nurture: 1) In our immune system, normal pro-inflammatory chemicals called cytokines go awry; and 2) an imbalance in our omega-3 to omega-6 fat intake results in the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Together, these two factors result in chronic systemic inflammation. It's inflammation that doesn't know when to stop and that's obviously a problem.
