Ayurvedic tips
– Adapt to the circumstances;
– Get enough rest (mentally too, so don’t panic!);
Regularity. Sleep and eat on time. The Ayurvedic morning routine (including meditation, tongue cleaning, nasal cleaning, and self-massage) is recommended.
– Pay attention to hygiene. Wash your hands regularly and shower in the morning. Also try to go to the toilet regularly and wash your hands with soap afterward.
– Pay attention to your diet. It should be high in fiber (vegetables and fruit). Sufficient vitamins, especially vitamin C, and minerals contribute to healthy immune system function. Meat broth with a little salt has a restorative effect. Green, bitter vegetables are blood purifying and good for the stomach.
– Ensure you drink enough fluids (drink hot water regularly, possibly with ginger or lemon);
– Make sure you have enough heat in your body;
– Ensure plenty of fresh air, including indoors. Sunlight is essential for our health;
Spices: turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon. These are all anti-inflammatory, expectorant, blood purifying, and digestive aids. Sage is antiseptic. Licorice and thyme are expectorant and soothing. Eucalyptus is good for the respiratory tract;
– And last but not least: Relax and trust yourself!
