Black Sesame Energy Ball Recipe

White and black sesame seeds come from the herb Sesamum indicum. It is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and used widely in the ayurvedic tradition in our foods, oils and medicines.

Black sesame seeds have a slightly nuttier flavour than white sesame seeds, but both are excellent sources of phytonutrients, antioxidants, dietary fibre and nutrients. Black sesame in particular is a great source of healthy fats, supports the digestive system, keeps bones strong, contains beneficial anti-oxidants and much more..

You might have been recommended black sesame oil for use at home in your abhyangha but there is so much more you can use this wonder seed for.... I have created a lovely black sesame and honey energy ball recipe below.

Ras-el hanout roasted pumpkin, chickpea and kale salad

It’s hardest to stay consistent and eat healthy when you’re crammed for time and busy, but I find that it’s the actual act of nourishing yourself and taking little blocks to pause that bring the best results to your creative output and efficiency

I’ve had lots of warm and healing soups at the start of this season so lunch today was a welcome change. I balanced out the meal with a mix of properties... pumpkin roasted in ras el hanout, and tossed in ghee with mushrooms, zucchini, chickpeas and greens. I topped this with crumbled feta and it was delish!

Ras el hanout is an amazing Moroccan spice mix of cumin, clove, coriander seed, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, dry ginger, peppercorns, turmeric... and a heap more! Squeeze a bit of lemon in when serving for a little extra tang.

Tea for rumbling stomachs and bloating

We’ve had a few more reports of rumbling, gurgling and churning sensations in the stomach, as well as more pronounced bloating in the last few weeks. Try this tea recipe to alleviate this condition, and also consider improving agni (digestive fire) with a modified diet and a few yogic/breathing techniques.

In general also, try to cut out any cold water consumption, avoid drinking water with meals and cut out any cold, heavy, dense, fried food.

Pre-prepare this tea (recipe below) and have it 30 minutes before or after meals.
