Ayurveda & Everyday Alchemy: Fever, Fresh Spices & the Truth About Ashwagandha

Quote from Episode:

“Herbs are intuitive — they move through the body like energy. You have to feel them, not just take them.” — Bridge Ochoa


Show Notes:

In this Full Moon episode, Nicholas and Bridge dive into the everyday practice of Ayurveda — from Bridge’s real-life bout with fever to the herbal remedies that helped her recover overnight. Bridge shares how Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) became her go-to for clearing heat, toxins, and inflammation, and why even universal herbs like ginger or turmeric aren’t always the right fit for every dosha. Together, they unpack Rasā, Vīrya, and Vipāka, explaining how each herb’s journey through the body determines its true effect, and why context always trumps trend.


The conversation widens into a lively critique of modern wellness fads — from ashwagandha chocolates to overused “dosha quizzes” — and a grounded return to the wisdom of fresh spices, intuitive cooking, and mindful digestion. If you’ve ever wondered why Ayurveda isn’t one-size-fits-all, this episode will change how you see your spice cabinet.
