Trending—adaptogenic herbs, sacred sights, healing spices, temples, ayurveda, and chanting.

Travel to the source where you can: get close to ancient sculptures; look down at the phenomenon that is a stepwell; eat a spicy curry loaded with turmeric; sip local balancing Tulsi tea; kneel on a marble temple floor and feel the energy of those who have walked before you … allow TS to envelope you in the pulse of India.
