MaaDisha: all natural

Good-for-you Fragrances!

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 07:26:29 -0400

When selecting a hair mask product, always check the label - and avoid products that include benzene, aldehyde or have the words “fragrance” or “parfum” on their labels. Organic hair conditioning products are chemical free. They contain no lead, artificial coloring, pigmentation or synthetic fragrances, which can be toxic and may cause health problems.

MaaDisha’s hair conditioning product, hairmask2, features unique “good-for-you fragrances” that come from plants and nature!

Your Hair Needs TLC

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:14:21 -0400

Your hair is a skin organ that is affected – and damaged – by bleaching, dyeing, perming and straightening, as well as environmental factors. Hair shaft hydration is necessary to make your hair stronger and “tamer.” A hair mask product, such as hairmask2 from MaaDisha, purifies hair shafts and deeply conditions damaged hair. It also stimulates hair follicles and helps give you thicker, healthier hair while virtually eliminating all split- ends.

Ayurveda 101: An Introduction

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:34:40 -0500

Do you know what Ayurveda is? Ayurveda translates into English as “The knowledge of Life.” It is considered to be one of the oldest medical systems in the world. The basic structure of this system is the balancing of the mind, body, and spirit. The basis of the medicine is holistic in nature as are the therapies that are used. Our product is ayurvedic because it uses natural ingredients that support the long term health of hair. But we feel that healthy hair is more than shampoo and oil. It is a life style. When you are healthy, your hair is healthy. We encourage you to learn more about Ayurveda.

"The view in Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of medicine, is that all of nature—including us—is bound..."

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 07:20:00 -0500

“The view in Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of medicine, is that all of nature—including us—is bound by the relationships among the three doshas, or primal energies. Vata dosha is associated with the elements air and ether; it governs creativity and change, and tends to wax and wane. Governed by fire and water, pitta dosha is the energy of transformation, achievement, and metabolism. Kapha dosha is associated with earth and water; it suggests groundedness, stability, and growth.”

Ayurveda & Aromatherapy

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:47:18 -0400

Aromatherapy is a healing process that uses essential oils to correspond with each of the three Doshas.

Not only applying one, but combining aromatherapy oils as well can heal individual Vatta, Pitta, and Kapha disorders and illnesses.

Keep in mind that these holistic techniques should never be a substitute for medical attention. Although they may aid in the correction of some disorders and trigger point muscle pain, these stress reduction methods are only an alternative approach.

Start Your Morning With This Ayurvedic Breakfast

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 10:46:33 -0400

Good morning! Did you eat your breakfast yet this morning? Why not try this Ayurvedic Power Drink from Ayurvedic Yogi .

According to this blog breakfast is an essential meal for Vata and Pitta types. Kapha types may not be hungry until later in the morning and should wait for genuine hunger before eating.

Check out the Power Drink recipe below:

What is in it? Peeled almonds (rejuvenating), pistachios (tonifying), cashews (magnesium rich), dates (strengthen liver, used to treat alcoholics!); raisins (balance doshas).

This drink is good at any time of the day or night! Soak nuts and dried fruit overnight or for at least two hours. Blend with ‘milk’ (or water used to soak) till chewy. Add rosewater, cardamon powder (sweet, calms, stimulates digestion) and saffron (cooling, tonifying, good for women, balances all doshas). Try ground fennel seeds (sweet, digestive, tones stomach) instead of saffron. You can add ’sweetener’ according to taste though the dates are already sweet.

Aloe in August

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:24:00 -0400

How much time have you spent in the sun this summer? Now that we are nearing the end of the season, it’s time to provide our bodies with a natural skin soother. Aloe vera is one of the best and more popular remedies for treating skin. Not only can it be used for healing wounds and sunburn, but the gel contained plant can be applied prior to using makeup as an organic skin moisturizer. For men, aloe is useful post shaving to keep the skin hydrated and help minimize irritation from small cuts. Aloe vera is rich in both vitamin C and E, which are two of the most important elements for our skin. So take a trip to the supermarket, but don’t focus on what you can find in a bottle, instead grab an aloe vera plant and achieve healthy, gorgeous skin with nature’s miracles.

Element Overview: Cocos Nucifera

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:56:26 -0400

MaaDisha is committed to being transparent about everything we put into our products, so we have decided to put together a series of posts which dive a bit deeper into the good stuff we use.

This week we are focusing on cocos nucifer aka coconut palm. This fruit is different from many others because of its high water content. Many people call coconut trees “the tree of life” because of the many benefits the coconut plant brings.

The plants water can be used to avoid burning sensation on the skin.
The oil (which we use in our Oil6) helps nourish the hair and increase length.
The fruit itself is an aphrodisiac agent and helps avoid general body weakness.
Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. They provide many health benefits beyond just the nutritional value.

Coconut water is one thing that is gaining popularity in todays society, but in reality cocos nucifera has been utilized in many places around the world for both its nutritional and medicinal benefits. It also happens to be used in our Oil6 to help make hair stronger and healthier.
