Essence Ayurveda

Carry Forward a Sacred Healing Art Lineage

Are you looking for a way to be of deeper service to others?

Tibetan Cranial is a rare, ancient practice that preserves traditional wisdom to facilitate healing across all layers—from the physical and mental to the deepest spiritual levels. We are currently looking for dedicated individuals to join our next Apprentice cohort starting in May 2026.

This is more than a certification; it is a path of Seva (selfless service). Here, you learn to support the body’s innate intelligence through the quiet power of focused touch.

If you are drawn to ancient traditions and feel called to this sacred exchange, we invite you to begin the journey.

Ginger!

To make ginger tea:
Thinly slice or grate fresh ginger root and add it to a pot of water. Bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for a few minutes. Alternatively, you can just steep the ginger in hot water.

Optional additions: black pepper, fennel seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, or star anise. Another option is to add lemon juice and, once the tea is cool enough, a bit of raw honey.

No need to peel the ginger—just wash it.

No measuring required. Everything is to taste. Experiment and discover what you like. I'd love to hear how you enjoy the tea!

How Healthy Is Ginger? (Gift Article) Give a warm welcome to this multitasking ingredient.
