Ayurvedic Seasonal Wellness Tips for Everyday Life

Start each seasonal transition with gentle internal oleation (Snehapana) by consuming a teaspoon of warm ghee on an empty stomach for 3–5 days to support bodily adaptation.

Adjust your diet to favor seasonal produce and balance the dominant dosha: for late winter (Shishira), include warming spices like ginger and black pepper to counter increased Kapha.

Practice daily Abhyanga (oil massage) using sesame oil during cold and dry seasons to nourish the skin and soothe aggravated Vata.

In the transition from winter to spring (Vasanta), begin each morning with warm water infused with honey and a pinch of trikatu (dry ginger, black pepper, long pepper) to help liquefy and expel excess Kapha.

Engage in mild physical activity, such as brisk walking or Surya Namaskar, especially as days lengthen in early spring, to stimulate circulation and prevent seasonal lethargy.
