SPRING INTO LIFE 🌸
As we are still transitioning from a long winter slumber, springtime brings with it a sense of renewal, cleansing, lightness, and inspiration. During any seasonal change, the qualities in the natural world around us begin to shift.
We can help avoid any unwanted 'kapha' accumulation (dampness, heaviness, stagnation, coldness) by following a few simple suggestions the science of Ayurveda encourages at this time of year;
🌸 Rise with the sun + scrape your tongue
🌸 Warm sesame oil masages & dry body brushing
🌸 Salt water gargling for any excess mucus production
🌸 Concentrate on bitter, astringent, spicier tastes to counteract the heavy, damp qualities lingering from winter
🌸 Up your intake of dark, leafy greens. Avoid too much dairy, sweet, overly-oily or fried foods
🌸 This is the most ideal time of vear to do a cleanse or incorporate gentle fasting into your diet
🌸 You may notice your digestive fire is a little weaker, so opt for lighter, simpler food choices and slightly smaller portions
🌸 Add plenty of spices to your cooking - ginger, cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, black pepper
🌸 Get outsidel! Take advantage of the longer days and breathe in nature
🌸 Practice sun salutations + right nostril breathing
(surya bhedan)
🌸 Herbal allies; Chyawanprash is an excellent tonic and immunity regulator this time of year
