Are you also ready for a thorough cleaning for more energy?
Then you're not alone! Around every change of season, it's always important to be aware of the changes taking place in nature. The darker months give way to the brighter ones. The sun is essential. Our bodies also respond to it, which is why it's important to adapt your lifestyle and eating habits to the season and your constitution.
At the end of the winter season, kapha (connected to the elements of water and earth) is increased. Mucus accumulates more quickly, and toxins become dominant. This manifests as feelings of heaviness (both physical and mental), pain, fatigue, and colds or trapped mucus in the sinuses.
If you naturally have characteristics associated with kapha, this will place an extra heavy burden on your overall health.
You can bring Kapha back into balance by exercising more and stimulating your digestion for better drainage so that you feel fitter again.
Some tips to prepare yourself well for spring
- Adjust your diet. Emphasize warm, stimulating, light, and nourishing foods. Add spices like black pepper, ginger, and cardamom, and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. Eat more legumes and less meat.
- Stimulate the cleansing capacity of your body and mind. This can be done by, for example, exercising more (taking brisk walks in the sun), scrubbing/dry brushing your body, cleaning your nasal cavities with a neti jar or activating yoga and breathing exercises (e.g. sun salutation and pranayama).
- Get up earlier and go to bed on time. Typically, we need 6-8 hours of sleep.
- Clean your house. Schedule a major cleaning in and around your home. Cleaning and decluttering your home has a positive impact on your health: it helps you move, get inspired, and stay organized.
- Stimulate your senses daily. Find the smells, sounds, tastes, and places you enjoy. Take a different route. This will keep you young and inspired.
- Follow a diet temporarily. Built up too much fat reserves? Then consider a suitable diet that suits you. There are many different diets available these days. Ayurvedic treatments (Panchakarma) focus on both diet and physical therapy. P.S. You can take a 3-day treatment course with us!
