Summary of "Ayurvedic Morning Routine- Do’s & Don’ts | Detox & Wellness | Dr. Bhaswati Body to Beiing | Shlloka"
Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques
- Tongue Assessment:
- A clear, thin tongue indicates good health; a yellow, thick tongue suggests poor digestion.
- Teeth marks on the tongue may indicate digestive issues.
- Wake-Up Timing:
- Ideal to wake up during Brahma Muhurt, approximately 48 minutes before sunrise, to align with natural rhythms.
- If you wake up and feel undigested, it's recommended to return to sleep until digestion is complete.
- Morning Hydration:
- Drink water from a Copper Vessel upon waking, ideally before brushing teeth.
- Hot water can stimulate bowel movements.
- Clothing Choices:
- Wear natural fibers (cotton, wool) for better breathability; avoid synthetic materials.
- Nasal Care:
- Use sesame oil in the nostrils to combat dryness and high Vata.
- Perform nasal cleansing (Jal Niti) with saltwater to clear congestion.
- Eye Care:
- Greet the rising sun with your eyes to absorb beneficial light.
- Use cold water to wash eyes for refreshment.
- Oral Hygiene:
- Avoid commercial toothpaste; instead, use natural powders made from herbs like Neem, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- Scrape the tongue to remove residue and improve taste sensation.
- Bowel Movements:
- Aim to empty the bowels first thing in the morning; squatting is preferred for optimal elimination.
- Body Oiling:
- Apply oil (like sesame) to the body before bathing to detoxify and moisturize skin.
- Use the technique of Abhyanga (self-massage) to stimulate circulation.
- Bathing Practices:
- Bathe daily, using warm water, and consider herbal additions like Neem for cleansing.
- Avoid using body washes filled with chemicals; opt for natural alternatives.
- Post-Bath Care:
- After bathing, dry off gently and allow skin to breathe before applying any products.
- Connecting with Nature:
- Spend time in nature or view beautiful objects to stimulate the senses and enhance mood.
