After recovering from the debilitating illness of Fibromyalgia which caused severe muscle aches and deteriorating skin and hair effects in her body, Vinie witnessed her own remarkable recovery with Ayurvedic medicine. Vinie embarked on a new path and dove into learning all about natural healing, the privledge of every person.
She created Ayurvedic Skin care products with rare high quality herbs which have active principles in their roots, stems, bark, leaves, flowers and fruit.
The science of Ayurveda lies in choosing the powerful parts of the herbs that contain the potent active principles, then formulating, according to ancient Vedic literature the parts that are proven to work together synergistically and foster healing on many levels of the body mind and soul.
"This week’s speaker, Vinnie Sukham is from LA and New Mexico and was here to talk about her love of ayurvedic medicine and her own personal ayurvedic journey. Ayurveda is 5,000 years old and as she explains, means ‘the science of life’.
At twenty three years of age, she woke up ill and goes on to talk about being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the effects of which she describes as ‘having eaten her body away.’
She was brought up in a healing household and she was taught a lot about herbs growing up. She talks about the debilitating symptoms of the illness and talks about the intense feeling of heat and trouble with balance that had the biggest impact on her life. Her first experience with ayurveda began by drinking lots of herbal teas and the intense pain she experienced slowly started to ease.
She talked about the difficulty in determining whether one is vata, pitta or kapha, because this depends on the individual’s food intake, illness, their lifestyle and also the fact that the doshas are continuously changing. In order to keep this balance, there are certain things that should be part of everyday life, as certain energies that work on the smallest levels within our bodies play an overall part in this balancing process.
A herb that Vinnie Sukham recommends is turmeric, known as ‘the golden miracle’- she believes it is as affective as antibiotics and is ‘nature’s healer’. An alternate way of having the herb is boiling milk and adding turmeric to it which can help those who have trouble sleeping.
One of Vinnie’s favourite herbs is Triphala. This herb is at the foundation of ayruvedic medicine. It cleanses the digestive tract and is great for indigestion and acidic symptoms. It will keep the body clean and pure.
For increased oxygenation, Vinnie recommends a combination of fenugreek tea, white coriander and fresh aniseeds in hot water, which really helps get blood moving.
One last product recommended by Vinnie is castor oil. She recommends castor oil packs which can have benefits in terms of treating aches, pains and arthritic conditions.
Vinnie expresses her passion for ayurveda by saying that if one keeps their mind and body clear, ayurveda will do the rest of the healing for us. She’s a firm believer that ayurveda can change one’s life around. She also talks about the importance of finding time for yoga, meditation and prayer in one’s everyday life."
Vinie was born to a traditional family in India steeped in Ancient wisdom and Healing technology.
A daughter of Yogi Bhajan, Phd, and Bibi Inderjeet Kaur, Vinie says "Our world is in need of healing,the healing of our bodies, our emotions, our environment,our relationships ,our environments and our political systems."
