Ojas (Vitality) Drink for November
Nov 02, 2025
In Ayurveda, there’s a beautiful word: ojas. It’s often described as our “vital essence,” the sap of life that gives us glowing skin, steady energy, resilience, and the ability to meet the world with generosity and joy. Think of it as your inner well of abundance.
Ojas is what is produced after our 7 dhatus (tissue layers) of our bodies are nourished. This means we need abundant nourishment in all areas of our life to cultivate ojas.
But here’s the truth: many of us run low on ojas, especially during the menopausal years. Stress, lack of sleep, poor digestion, overworking, and overstimulation all deplete this precious essence. The best way to rebuild it is through deep rest.
Nourishing foods, gentle movement, and loving relationships also cultivate ojas. And sometimes, a delicious and nutritious treat can help replenish that spark too.
That’s where this simple, nurturing recipe comes in — my Ojas Energy Drink. It’s grounding, sweet, and soothing for both body and mind. It takes some preparation, so start today to make it tomorrow!
