Think raw coconut and shea butter (to give the texture oomph), honey (to retain moisture and deliver lustre), pumpkin seed oil (preserving colour and vibrancy). Plus a dash of cranberry seed oil and Rooibos tea.

Why Broughton Sanctuary offers just the tonic you need

Square Mile | 5 Dec 2023

I went to Broughton Sanctuary in Yorkshire upset, exhausted and hobbling after an accident. I was facing a personal crisis, my father’s illness and litigation. And also tackling selling my family home, empty-nest syndrome and finishing writing a book.

How to create the ultimate Ayurvedic retreat in London

Country & Town House | 17 Jan 2023

Holistic in nature and based on the concept of interconnectedness, Ayurvedic treatments aim to balance the mind, body (and spirit) with diets, herbal remedies, massage therapies, yoga and meditation.

There are multiple benefits to running your own Ayurvedic retreat, including keeping things local and spending a fraction of the usual price of an international retreat. You’ll also help the environment – by jettisoning long plane trips – and avoid pesky airport queues and jet lag. Plus, staying home allows you to do an Ayurvedic break that’s so mini you won’t return to work (or home) and find yourself so overloaded that you wish you’d never left.
