Eucalyptus oil is one of those simple, versatile oils I’ve been using at home for years. 🌿

Native to Australia and also grown extensively in the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu, eucalyptus oil is extracted by steam-distilling the leaves.

I use a couple of drops when swabbing my floors — partly because I love its fresh, clean aroma, but also because eucalyptus can help keep flies away.

During the monsoon, I also turn to it for inhalation when I’m dealing with a congested nose or chest.

But there’s more to this fragrant oil than its aroma:

🌿 ANTIMICROBIAL
Eucalyptus oil has antimicrobial properties. Interestingly, eucalyptus oil was used historically in hospitals in England, including for cleaning catheters.

🌿 RESPIRATORY SUPPORT
Research has explored eucalyptus oil and its compounds in relation to upper respiratory tract infections and respiratory symptoms.

🌿 TRADITIONAL TOPICAL USE
Eucalyptus preparations have also been used traditionally for wounds and certain fungal infections.

🌿 NATURAL INSECT REPELLENT
One of my favourite monsoon uses — eucalyptus oil can help repel insects, including mosquitoes and flies.

A little reminder: essential oils are highly concentrated. They should be diluted appropriately for topical use and should not be ingested unless specifically advised by a qualified professional. For inhalation, use only a small amount and stop if it irritates your breathing.

Sometimes, the most useful things in our homes are the simplest ones. 💚

Do you use eucalyptus oil at home? Tell me your favourite way to use it.

Your skin can tell you a lot — but it shouldn’t be looked at in isolation.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), different areas of the face have traditionally been associated with different organ systems. Certain patterns of pigmentation, for example, may be interpreted through the lens of liver or kidney balance.

The macrobiotic approach also looks beyond the skin itself, considering food, digestion, lifestyle and overall balance as part of skin health.

Foods such as bitter greens, cruciferous vegetables, sea vegetables and black beans can all have a place in a varied, nutrient-rich diet.

For me, the important message is this:
Don’t look at the skin in isolation. Look at the whole person.

Your skincare routine matters — but so do your food, lifestyle, stress and overall wellbeing. 🌿

What if a retreat didn’t have to be about doing more?

What if it was simply about having the time and space to slow down?

At Mharo Khet, the setting becomes part of the experience — 40 acres of fields and orchards, open skies, quiet corners and a working farm on the edge of Jodhpur.

Over three winter nights, there will be long walks, champi, sound healing, seasonal food, conversations, time to yourself and evenings beneath the trees.

And, of course, food.

From leisurely breakfasts and regional flavours to a nine-course dinner beneath the guava orchard, food will be one of the threads running through the retreat, with the menu composed in close consultation with me.

Then, as the day ends, there will be candlelit dinners and an evening of Manganiyar folk music beneath the desert sky.

The Quiet Blossoming is about giving yourself permission to pause — and allowing the place, the food, the conversations and the quiet to do their work.

Portion control doesn’t have to mean counting calories. 🌿

One of the simplest ways to understand how much to eat is to learn to eyeball your portions — and start with the idea of a balanced plate.

Your plate should have a variety of foods, rather than being dominated by one food group. Here’s a simple guide:

🌾 Whole grains — 30–40%
Millets, brown/red/black rice, quinoa or amaranth. On a regular healthy diet, this can be around 40% of your plate; on a weight-loss plan, bring it closer to 30%.

🥬 Vegetables — 25–30% on a regular plan, 50–60% on a weight-loss plan
Think seasonal, colourful and preferably a variety of cooked and raw vegetables.

🫘 Legumes & beans — 20–25%
These provide plant-based protein and can include dals, beans and other legumes. If you eat meat, fish or chicken, around 100 g can be used as a guide, alongside plenty of vegetables.

🥑 Good fats — small but important
Avocado, nuts, seeds and good-quality cold-pressed oils all have a place in a balanced diet. The key is moderation because fats are nutrient-dense.

🥒 Fermented foods — around 5–10%
Miso, quick pickles and pressed salads can add beneficial fermented foods to your plate and support digestive health.

The goal isn’t to make every meal a mathematical exercise. It is about learning what a balanced plate looks and feels like.

And remember: portion needs are individual. Your age, activity levels, health goals, digestion and overall health all matter.

Start by looking at your plate — not just at the numbers.

🌿 If you want a food plan that is created around your body, lifestyle and health goals, send me a DM to book a consultation.

Imagine three days with nowhere else to be.

40 acres of greenery around you.
18 women sharing the same space, the same season and perhaps, the same need to slow down.

Long, unhurried days.
Food composed around the season, from farm to table.
Sound healing under the trees.
Time to walk, rest, talk or simply be.
And evenings that end with folk music beneath a desert sky.

This November, I’ll be at Mharo Khet, Jodhpur, alongside Dr. Bharati Chawathe, for The Quiet Blossoming — an intimate three-night retreat for women.

For many people, managing a chronic condition can feel like an endless cycle of symptoms, appointments and uncertainty. But sometimes, understanding how food and lifestyle fit into the bigger picture can become an important part of that journey. 🌿

Mariam discovered my work through her sister and chose to explore a personalised approach to nutrition after being diagnosed with lupus. In her words, making dietary changes helped her feel better and keep her symptoms at bay.

Every person is different, and nutrition should never replace medical care. But the right food and lifestyle choices can be a valuable complement to your existing healthcare — especially when they are personalised to your individual needs.

My approach is about looking at the whole person, understanding their unique requirements and creating practical changes that can be sustained over time.

If you would like to explore how a personalised nutrition approach could support your health journey, send me a DM to book a consultation.

Nutrition is not just about counting calories, macros or following a list of foods to avoid.

When you come to me for a consultation, I want to understand you — your health concerns, your lifestyle, your food preferences and, most importantly, how food can realistically fit into your everyday life.

Because knowing what to eat is only the beginning.
Knowing how to turn that knowledge into meals you can actually cook, enjoy and sustain is where my experience as a nutritionist and chef comes in.

I believe food should support your health — and still be food you love.

That is what I bring to my consultations. 🌿

When was the last time you gave your gut a reset? 🌿

Our digestive system is constantly dealing with what modern life throws at it — irregular meals, eating out, stress, travel and simply too much of everything.

The Autumn Equinox is a beautiful point in the year to pause and reset.

My Deep Detox is a one-day, at-home protocol, personalised to your health profile rather than a one-size-fits-all cleanse.

Here’s how it works:

01 — YOU SHARE YOUR HEALTH PROFILE
You complete a detailed health assessment so we understand your individual needs.

02 — YOUR FORMULATION IS SELECTED
I review your assessment with an Ayurvedic doctor, who helps determine the appropriate formulation for you.

03 — YOU RECEIVE YOUR KIT
Your personalised formulation is couriered to you with detailed instructions for your detox day.

04 — YOU’RE SUPPORTED
On the day you choose to do your detox, you have access to WhatsApp support under my supervision.

The intention is simple: support elimination, digestive health and a feeling of lightness as you transition into a new season.

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, heavy or simply feel like it’s time to press reset, perhaps this is your sign. 🌿

The Autumn Equinox is at the end of September — sign up now so you can plan your Deep Detox around the seasonal transition.

There are seasons in life that are not meant to be hurried through.

Sometimes, we need to pause. To listen to the body. To nourish ourselves. To look at the stories and patterns we carry — and make space for what comes next.

This November, I’m joining Dr. Bharati Chawathe at Mharo Khet, Jodhpur, for The Quiet Blossoming — an intimate three-night retreat for women.

Across three days, we’ll explore the body and the self: winter energy, seasonal nourishment, food and cooking, alongside self, conditioning, old patterns and the stories we carry.

And there will be plenty of space in between — for walks through the fields, champi, sound healing, beautiful food, conversation, quiet and simply being.

You don’t need to arrive with a problem to solve.

You only need to be willing to pause, listen and stay curious about what this next season may hold.

What if this season of your life isn’t something to overcome, but something to understand?

There are seasons that ask us to slow down. To notice what is changing. To listen a little more closely before stepping into what comes next.

This November, I’m joining Dr. Bharati Chawathe at Mharo Khet, Jodhpur, for The Quiet Blossoming — an intimate three-night retreat for women.

Over three days, we’ll explore two sides of the same season.

I’ll be working with the body — winter energy, nourishment, seasonal living, movement and rhythm, drawing on macrobiotics and the five elements, along with cooking and a winter menu.

Dr. Bharati will work with the self — our conditioning, the stories we carry, old patterns and the possibility of imagining a new story.

And in between, there will be space to simply be — walks through the fields, champi, sound healing, beautiful food, long conversations, quiet afternoons and evenings beneath the desert sky.

You don’t need to arrive with a problem to solve.

You only need the willingness to pause, listen and stay curious about what this next season may hold.
