Hi Cameron,
I am interested in becoming an ayurveda and yoga therapist and I am studying yoga right now but I was wondering if you knew of a great book to get started with. I would eventually like to live at an ayurveda retreat so I can learn even more but while that is not available for me how do you suggest I begin?
Thank you.
Namaste.
Yogi cameron, i am a homosexual male, and consider myself to be a very spiritual person. the other day i was in conversation with someone who made the comment that I was on a lower spiritual plane, and felt the need to learn and grow from this personal experience this lifetime. Im pretty satisfied that they are wrong in this statement,but just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this. Having read a lot of things that you belive,i would value your knowledge on this.
i adore this opportunity, but i wonder where to find the answers?
Hey Cameron! Porfavor escribe como el Ayurveda puede ayudarnos a la gente que tengamos acné, estoy seguro que está vinculado a las emociones… Y que el ayurveda tiene alguna solución.
Grácias

Troy- You will find the answers here if they are short or I will try and blog about longer answers.

Hello!
Im about to go into the gym to get in shape, but i adore to do yoga too, i was wondering if making yoga instead of gym exercises (like weight lifting and exercises with gym machines or even pilates) will give me a “sexy” body, in other words could help me to get nice abs, pecs, arms and legs, im asking because in your videos you show and amazing body, lean but strong, with long/lean muscles, which is the type of muscles i want to develop. Hope you can help me with this
Namaste.
Greetings Yogi Cameron,
I first saw you on Ellen’s show. I was very motivated by your fitness. I live in India and would love to meet you about my evolutionary path. I have been a regular meditator…I wake up between 3:30 and 4:30 am and meditate. I do the twin heart meditation as well. I thought I had normal dietary habits until I read your articles…all of them…Infact I set my homepage to the ten “commandments”/points to live by so I can read them everyday to make them my second nature..I also have them handwritten in my notepad. Thank you so much for the wonderful messages and inspirations..I can’t wait to meet you if given an opportunity..I sure need your help in my evolutionary path…in terms of diet, meditations and whatever is required. with my limited knowledge I donot know what else to add but to request a meeting and the monetary terms involved. Please could you help me ?
I can be reached at om011279@yahoo.com
In gratitude,
Sarah
Hi Yogi Cameron!
You suggest eating two small meals a day, but I was wondering if my body will get the nutrients and minerals I need?
Namaste
Hi Yogi Cameron,
Do you have any suggestions for hairloss?
Thanks!
Please help me help my husband….. he has excema on his body from head to toe (literally) no one can give him any relief. He has only experienced western medicine, is not a believer in anything but. I know his excema comes from the negative thoughts he experienced with his former wife, he never had excema til then. I also know it comes from his poor diet and not enough water intake. We are not rich people and cannot afford alternative medical sources and our heath plan does not cover visits to someone like yourself. what advice can you give me to help him find some relief from the constant itching he endures that I might be able to do from home.
Dear Yogi Cameron,
what is your feeling about eating some sort of breakfast? I am frustrated with so many conflicting opinions….I personally have never liked ‘breakfast’ in the morning and feel heavy and more hungry during the day if I eat in the morning – yet so many ‘health and nutrition professionals’ say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you’ll mess up and slow down your metabolism if you skip breakfast, etc etc…..Help! so confusing!!!! Thanks…..

Hi, what ayurveda and yoga treatments would you recommend for greying hair prevention and hair loss prevention.
thanks
Hi Yogi Cameron,
Could you comment on use of orthodics ?
Is this the only way to correct gait ? to align hips and feet?
many blessings….

I also had this issue and used tea tree oil, clove, turmeric and sandalwood but in the end because of the day to day eating bacteria will become trapped inside and give you an infection. If it is not infected yet then you can just get a filling but if it is infected then a root canal may be needed. The mouth, nose and ears are all connected so if there is any infection it will eventually affect these parts too.

You will find the answer to this in an article in the yoga section of the blog.

Oh I missed that…. Thank you, I just read it and I feel like I have my answer

Dear Yogi Cameron, Thanks a lot for your answer. Before getting your answer, I happened to meet an Ayurvedic doctor who said he can help for my tooth condition.
As of now, he has given me Irimedadi Tail(Oil) (apply 3 times a day) and Chandraprabha vati to be chewed twice a day with broken tooth. The tooth seems to be gaining strength and cold water pain reducing. I am planning to get his consultation for about a month. If condition does not improve suitable for a long term health, I will get filling or root canal.
I must appreciate that although we both are inclined for ayurvedic solution, you gave me a balanced view without attachments to one therapy.
Thanks a lot,
Varun
Dear Cameron,
I am a 33 year old male. Despite eating plenty raw foods (always fresh) I suffer from elevated cholesterol (around 7.5)
My family (especially men) have a history of cholesterol. I have noticed you emphasize the importance of good oils. Considering my problem, should I still be incorporating these oils into my diet? How much and how often? You also mention putting sesame oil into the ears? How much & how often?
Many thanks & keep up the fantastic work!!!!
Your answer will come out as a blog soon.
Hi Yogi Cameron!
I have been having a bitter taste on the back of my tongue lately and I am not sure what it is from. I drink a little bit of apple cider vinegar before bed…do you think it is from that?
thank you for being you!

Dear Yogi Cameron:
I have a friend that was diagnosed with Glaucoma. I was wondering if there are specific yoga poses to practice, or avoid, to help with this condition. Also, any guidance you can offer on alleving this condition would be most appreciated. thank you in advance for your help
i just want to know what you think about chiropractic care. i use one and for a while it seemed to help my headaches, but I have started to get them again and my neck seems to give me trouble. Thank you for your opinion it means a lot to me. Also thanks for sharing the letter to Dr. Laura it made a lot of sense and made me laugh. Thanks again for all the knowledge you share with us I think only positive thoughts for you. Have a beautiful evening.
Hello Yogi Cameron,

Thank you for you time

Hello,
I am a 43 year old female and I think I may be developing arthritis (possibly rheumatoid) and or bursitis in my neck and shoulders. I recently joined a hot yoga studio which has benefited me in a huge way but the neck and shoulder (mainly right side) don’t seem right. I wonder what kind of help I should seek out.
thank you,
dahvi
Yogi Cameron,
I am new to your site. I am 53 (gone through menapause) and seeing a naturalpathic doctor for treatments of excessive abdominal fat and nutrient defiencies. They have suggested a Blood type diet (mine is type A), which has helped somewhat and also natural supplements. I think that I may be Vata-Rajas. My questions is what can you suggest that might help me with my health issues? I try to do yoga weekly, but have flexibility issues due to my stomach fat.
Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!
Hi Yogi Cameron. Just saw you on Dr. Oz and became very interested in Ayurveda. Read about Amrit Kalash. What is your feeling on the nectar and ambrosia as antioxidants? Any personal experience with it? Can you recommend something else as antioxidants? Thanks so much. Looking forward to reading your book.
Hello,
I am new to your site and enjoying the information. I am 37 yr old and had a question regarding the thinning and hairfall. Can you suggest something ayurvedic treatment along with yoga to help stop and regrow my hair.
Thank you,
I saw you on Dr Oz and really enjoyed. My question is: I have a lot of mucus and nasal dripping… would tulsi tea help.. if so, does it matter what flavor? green tea or flavored? thank you
Hi Yogi, I wanted to know if the Pancha karma, would be a good cleansing treatment option for some with hypertension. I would like to know your thoughts on this.
I’ve been doing yoga inconsistently throughout last year. After seeing what yoga and proper diet does for you I feel the sudden urge to seek spiritual enlightenment. I’m 18 years old and have always felt that I had a purpose in life. I’ve struggled with this since I was 13. I’ve felt this need to serve and help others. I am a vegan and still find that my health is not where it should be. I also have tried meditating but its sooooo hard O_o
Do you have any suggestions? Also, when you speak about eatimg once a day, how do you accomplish that without feeling a lack in energy. I tries it yesterday and got a massive headache
Dear Cameron,
Thank you for all the insight you give us on your web sight, it already helped me a lot to calm my busy mind down. I would like to ask you what kind of foods should I avoid as a Vata Rajas type? I have digestion problems and dry skin of course.
Thank you in advance.
Greetings, I really like the Ayurveda life style and would like more indepth guidance for a “vata” on diet, life style and how to use oils and herbs for healing. I have insomnia of 20yrs witch nothing has ever worked, major digestion problems and depression among other issues.I was wondering how I would find someone in my area who has knowlage of Ayurveda to help me.
Thanks so much,
Sharon O.
Dear Cameron,
I saw you on Dr. Oz yesterday but because of all the fires in our nearby neighborhoods the show was interrupted. My main problem right now is that I am usually sleepy. I work in an office and I sit most of the day. My work requires focus and slowly but surely I have become sleepier and sleepier. On my way to work I take a nap on the bus. On my way home I take a nap on the bus. I can’t help it I get sleepy and I’m usually yawning. I like coffee but it just makes me jittery. What can I do? My mom keeps thinking it may have something to do with my cholesterol. I am 5’1″ and 130lbs. My breakfast consists of oatmeal soaked in water and then 1 cup of granola. Lunch and dinner vary
I hope you can shed some light, thank you!
I am on a journey which I am truly beginning for the first time at 31. I am having a hard time with separating myself from this society we live in (us). It is very materialistic and I come to realize that in our society it is hard to survive here without $$. You need $ and plenty of it just to begin to realize your dreams. I recently began reading about the people and way of life in New Zealand and have found it to be a type of Utopia. Less hustle and bustle and competition and more time relaxing and experiencing life and loving the people around you. Maybe one day that will be a realization for me, but until then I feel like life here is a burden and I am not sure how to let go of this feeling?
Yogi, how do i become like you? Is there a way i can go to a retreat for some years and learn the ways? I am young and don’t know if it is possible at my age, considering i have to go to school. I want to live my life free of binds, and help others.
Thank you.
Dear Cameron, I really hope you can help me. When I was a young teen, I would meditate daily and also would slip easily into reverie upon resting; but I can’t explain what’s been happening to me over the past 6 months. First, I would like to say that I was told a few years ago by a spiritual guru that I was in the first stages of conscious Astral Projection, as I’m able to close my eyes and appear somewhere else and it’s crystal clear. Also, if I’m handed a photo of a country farm, for example, I can appear there and smell the air, and see the trees blowing in the wind. I can walk down the path and feel the sun upon my skin. However, in the past 6 months, I’ve also been able to create self-induced visual hallucinations; I know they’re not real, but they are clear and induce feelings of elation within me. I hope you can tell me what’s been happening to me. Thank you very much in advance.
