During late winter (Shishira Ritu), favor warm, light, and slightly oily foods like barley, millet, and soups to balance Kapha and prevent heaviness.

2

Begin your day with 'Abhyanga' (warm oil self-massage) using sesame oil to nourish the skin and support circulation during the cold, dry season.

— Ashtanga Hridaya, Sutrasthana Ch. 2

Practice gentle exercise or brisk walks in the morning sun to stimulate Agni (digestive fire) and dispel accumulated Kapha.

— Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana Ch. 7
4

Incorporate spices like ginger (Shunthi), black pepper (Maricha), and turmeric (Haridra) into your meals to kindle digestion and ward off seasonal sluggishness.
