A Little Bit of Ayurveda

Posted on Friday, January 13, 2023 05:18 PM

Wellness Accommodations

“Pad-ma Ab-hy-anga” and “Shir-o-dhara.” I typed those words, slowly, into my phone’s calendar not too long ago. Loosely translated, they are Ayurvedic massages: the first massage focused on the feet “Pada,” and "Padma" meaning lotus flower; with the second massage on the head, “Shiro.”

Ayurvedic treatments aren’t at the top of many spa menus in the western world, but you can find them at Northumberland Heights Wellness Retreat & Spa, a serene spot tucked in the Northumberland hills, about...

Great Eats off the Highway

What’s the best part of a road trip? On-the-go snacks and new restaurants to discover of course! Northumberland County has great places, not far from the highway, to pick up healthy snacks or decadent sweet treats for the road. We’ve also got you covered if you need a break from the car and want to enjoy dining inside or on an outdoor patio with great atmosphere and friendly locals.

Sweet Emotion: Finding Honey and Bees Across the County

By Tim Johnson

The Bee Works Gift Shop and Dancing Bee Equipment Inc.

Bees are big right now. Honey is in high demand and, with the knowledge that these tiny, flying, pollinating wonders are now endangered, everyone is doing their part to keep them in the air. There’s no bigger place to see, learn about and experience bees than at Dancing Bee Equipment Inc. and The Bee Works Gift Shop off exit 464, just north of the 401. And there's no better...

Winter’s Best Kept Secret: Fun Family Farm Visits

By Meghan Sheffield

 

Want to know the season's best kept secret? Here in Northumberland, winter is the perfect time to visit a farm.

After the hustle and bustle of the busy summer and autumn seasons, calm descends with falling snowflakes, and mama animals rest, awaiting the promise of spring babies. The clean, bright snow and cooler temperatures even cover up some of the more “authentic” (read: smelly and unsightly) aspects of life with animals. In...

There's Lots Brewing in Northumberland

By Tim Johnson

You won’t lack for places to wet your whistle this winter. With four breweries and two cideries in the County, you can easily pick up six packs and more, or order them online. Open them up at home and try them with some steaming, hearty fare – the ideal antidote to any dark and stormy blues you may be feeling.

Here we feature two new spots, and also take note of a few old favourites:
