For centuries, Indians have been using a natural healing technique called Ayurveda. While practicing Ayurveda, one can balance their health with the ora of nature. The significance of Ayurveda is to work on your body as its energy changes from season to season by focusing on your daily lifestyle, food, and consistency. These seasonal Ayurvedic routines help align your body with nature’s rhythms, ensuring optimal health and energy. We will be looking into the Ayurvedic secrets followed by Indians for maintaining health and energy during seasonal changes.
Understanding the Seasonal Impact on Your Body and Mind
The seasonal impact on your body and mind can be defined in different ways, including mood, brain function, immune system, illness, anxiety, weakness, and other physical symptoms. Sometimes our body gets dehydrated due to heat, and other problems like dryness, irritation, cold, etc. are common in seasonal change. We cater the best service to balance the impact of seasons and doshas on your body and mind.
How Ayurveda Promotes Health Through Seasonal Shift
Herbal Par believes that nature can heal everything. Similarly, we believe that Ayurveda has all the benefits and properties to not only promote health but also combat all the effects of doshas through seasonal shifts. Ayurveda promotes a healthy lifestyle, physical health, and relaxation and eliminates body and mental stress, which is beneficial for well-being. We provide all types of Ayurveda practices with proper guidance to promote health through seasonal shifts.
Three Doshas
We have five elements in this universe that are water, earth, fire, air, and ether. By combining these five elements, three doshas of Ayurveda have been prepared, which are the heart of the Ayurveda known as vata, kapha, and pitta. All three doshas contain specific qualities and supervise multiple parts of the body, especially the physiological and psychological functions. Having said that, these three doshas mainly emphasise the well-being of a human being.
Spring Season (Vata to Kapha):
As the season changes from winter to spring, the doshas also change from vata to kapha. Vata is made by combining the essence of cold, dryness, and mobility and is developed by the elements that contain warmth and stability.
Dietary Recommendations
The first and foremost important thing is to be hydrated, which can be easily achieved through consuming liquids like water and tea. Also, do not consume processed foods; instead, have food that is less oily.
Lifestyle Practices
The key to having the best lifestyle is to be consistent with your regular routine. Additionally, actively participate in activities like brisk walking and meditation, and moreover, focus on rest in order to recover your muscles.
Ayurvedic herbs and oils
Ashwagandha and Shatavari are the best ayurvedic herbs we use to nourish the body and balance the kapha dosha.
Summer Season (Kapha to Pitta)
As the spring season ends, leading to the start of summer, kapha dosha ends and pitta dosha starts. As the summer season brings heat to the body, we try to balance it by doing things that keep your body cool.
Dietary Recommendations
The most important thing in summer is to keep your body hydrated, which can be achieved by drinking water. Also, ensure that you are not consuming excess spicy food, which will lead to producing excess heat in the body. Prioritise having foods that will hydrate your body, like cucumber, coconut, etc.
Lifestyle Practices
The key to having the best lifestyle is to have a regular sleep schedule; moreover, practice meditation to reduce stress and include exercises like swimming in your daily routine to keep your body cool.
Ayurvedic herbs and oils
The best herbs for pitta are aloe vera and Brahmi, as they balance the pitta and support the digestive system.
Autumn Season (Pitta to Vata)
As the pitta dosha takes an exit with the summer season, the autumn season with vata enters. Vata has cool and dry qualities being countered by nature and the ground.
Dietary Recommendations
To balance the vata’s dryness, it is necessary to keep your body nourished by adding food that is warm and less salty. Also, consume food that is cooked using ghee or olive oil, and keep yourself hydrated by consuming herbal tea and warm water.
Lifestyle Practices
Engaging yourself in exercise like yoga, walking, and other grounding exercises or activities is the best practice to add to your daily routine.
Ayurvedic herbs and oils
Sesame oil and ashwagandha have some properties that are helpful in balancing vata dosha. Herbal Park uses these ayurvedic herbs and oils to combat the effect of vata dosha.
Winter Season (Vata Dominance)
After the autumn season, the winter season with vata dosha comes, and this dosha takes centre stage. Vata dosha has cold, dryness, and mobile quality; to stabilise this herbal park, we recommend you get ayurvedic therapy to support your well-being.
Dietary Recommendations
The vata doshas dehydrate your body; it is suggested to take warm water, herbal tea, and nourished foods made of ghee or olive oil to hydrate your body, support digestion, and combat the effects of the vata dosha.
Lifestyle Practices
Adding exercise like brisk walking, yoga, etc. to keep your body active and balance the effects of vata dosha. Keeping your body hydrated by having more liquid and avoiding spicy food and food that produces heat in your body. Establish a consistent sleep schedule to balance both body and mind.
Ayurvedic herbs and oils.
To reduce toxicity and balance digestion, Triphala is used as an herb in vata dosha; also, Ashwagandha is used as an ayurvedic herb to support the nervous system and combat the effect of vata.
Incorporating Ayurvedic Practices into Daily Life
Abhyanga (Self-Massage)
We have various recommendations for Ayurvedic massage, but we believe that self-massage is the best and most luxurious for daily self-care. Abhyanga is a daily massage where sesame or coconut oil is used to moisturise your skin. This not only pacifies vata dosha but also supports the body in detoxification.
Dinacharya (Daily Routine)
Dincharya refers to the daily routine we should follow to live long and healthy lives. The following are the activities Dincharya includes:
Wake up just before sunrise.
Supporting good and good sleep will lead you to wake up early, just before sunrise. For this, you should avoid late-night sleep.
Cleanse the face, mouth, and eyes.
The next step is to wash your face, mouth, and eyes with warm water in order to not feel sleepy.
Drink a glass of warm or room-temperature water.
Drinking a glass of warm water after waking up with an empty stomach will improve digestion.
Scrape your tongue and clean your teeth.
After having water, brush your teeth and scrape your tongue to clean it. This will lead to clearing the bacteria that can enter your body.
Gargling
Gargling with water by adding some salt to it is the best practice.
Nasal drops
The next step is taking care of your nose by using nasal drops.
Oil the body
You should apply oil to your body to nourish or moisturise your skin.
Bathing, dressing, natural scents, and adornments
Taking a shower with warm water and avoiding hot water is recommended. After taking a shower, dress up with clothes you feel confident enough in and use scents and adornments to smell good. Also, don’t avoid breakfast.
