As we are now very much in the season of Spring, it’s the perfect time to take up a seasonal cleansing routine.
We have lots of clients booking in for their Panchakarma treatments for this change of season.
Ayurveda does not encourage a quick, one size fits all approach to seasonal cleansing.
However, a few daily routine and dietary changes are suitable to add into your lifestyle for the Spring season.
As it is Kapha season, the qualities of both water and earth can produce strength and stability. However, out of balance Kapha dosha may present symptoms of fatigue, heaviness, a lack of enthusiasm, constipation, a thick coating on the tongue, headaches, poor concentration, joint and muscle pain or skin problems. This would indicate that there are digestive toxins, called AMA, in the body.
Try a few daily routine and diet changes for the Spring season.
– Ayurvedic diet. Ktichari and mung soup. Mono diet.
– Yoga, meditation
Exercise and lymphatic drainage
In addition to the daily routine, Ayurveda offers suggestions to balance the Kapha Dosha during the spring season with diet. A few recommendations include:
* Apples
* Blueberries
* Pomegranates
* Broccoli
* Cauliflower
* Kale
* Leafy greens
* Millet
* Barley
* Basmati Rice
* Lentils
* Sunflower seeds
*Kitchari and mung soup
* Spices!
❌ Avoid caffeine, curd, excess yoghurt, ice cream, and other Kapha aggravating foods.
Your Ayurvedic practitioner will guide you through the best spring cleanse or Panchakarma program for you.
