Here’s your *Feminine-Form* Ayurveda winter guide for staying warm, radiant and lit up through the darkest months of the year. Winter isn’t a season to push. It’s a season to tend to your inner flame. These practices are your go-tos: 🔥
🌶️ Fire cider to stoke immunity, circulation and digestion when cold damp weather weakens agni.
🫖 Neti pot rinses. I mix warm water with ¼ teaspoon sea salt and one tiny drop of oregano essential oil to clear the sinuses, support lung health and prevent winter congestion from settling into the tissues.
☁️ Emotion-release steam ceremony: Fill a pot with boiling water, add 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes, allowing emotion and congestion to gently release from the lung tissue.
☀️ Vitamin C, D and triphala to support immunity, gut health and daily detox during low-light months.
🌿Tulsi, elderberry, licorice, turmeric and nettle teas to nourish immunity, soothe the nervous system and keep tissues hydrated.
🔴 Red light therapy to regulate the nervous system, lift mood and counteract seasonal depletion.
🎥 Extra sleep and genuinely funny movies to downshift cortisol, boost immunity and remind your body it’s safe (do not underestimate their power)!
🥩 Make lots of soups, broths, collagen and gelatin-rich meals to keep everything juicy in the vata season of cold and artificial heating systems!
🍯 Manuka honey blends with turmeric, black pepper, cayenne and licorice to soothe the throat, support immunity and deliver herbs deep into the tissues.
🛁 Cycle epsom salt and sea salt baths. One night I do 2 cups epsom, the next I do 1 cup sea salt. Add a bit of your favorite body oil and essential oils for added glow!
🎁 Get excited about the gifts you will give, rather than get. Give to charity.
🥂 Divest from excess alcohol and excess online spending. INVEST in visiting the sauna!
👟 Boost your energy, move your lymph and stay connected to Mama Nature with gentle winter walks.
❄️ Avoid raw, cold foods and icy drinks (like salads, cold smoothies, etc.!)
🧣Wear warming and bright colors and ditch black clothing! Invite more light with candles, ghee lamps or by making a fire.
Winter asks us to slow down, soften and listen. Are you ready to start living in harmony with your body’s wisdom again? ✨
