Ayurveda advises us all to follow a seasonal routine (Ritucharya). This routine is known throughout nature: in autumn, trees lose their leaves, and many animal species withdraw into themselves.<\/p>\n
Mid-autumn and winter is the season when the Vata dosha (cold and dry) tends to increase.<\/p>\n
To maintain balance (especially for people where the Vata dosha predominates) Ayurveda recommends:<\/p>\n
-Order. The key to balancing Vata is order and regularity. Vata is an irregular dosha, easy prey to overstimulation. Aggravation of Vata turns enthusiasm into exhaustion.<\/p>\n
-Plenty of rest. Rest is very important for any Vata imbalance.<\/p>\n
-Heat. Being a cold dosha, heat is good for it. Vata is also dry, so make sure that the air in the rooms has sufficient humidity.<\/p>\n
-Hot food and drink. Avoid dry or uncooked food (soup or stew is better than salad).<\/p>\n
-Increase consumption of dishes with a predominance of sweet, sour and salty flavours.<\/p>\n
Massage and self-massage the body with special hot oils to balance Vata.<\/p>\n
-Take a hot bath or a long, hot shower in the morning. Moist heat is good for Vata.<\/p>\n
-After the bath, apply Vata Body Cream to the skin all over the body, both of which are products formulated with warm, moisturising botanicals.<\/p>\n
In general, the season in which we should be most alert is the one that corresponds to our predominant dosha: summer for Pitta, autumn-winter for Vata, and spring for Kapha.<\/p>\n
Whatever your predominant dosha, enjoy the immense beauty of these coming months!<\/p>\n
