Holidays are a great time to enjoy with family and friends. But sometimes, it becomes a ‘sickness season’ due to overindulgence, lack of sleep and stress of hosting.
Here are 5 simple tips to keep you healthy and rejuvenated, from the inside, all through the season!
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic trick to detoxify the body.
Right after you wake up, swish in your mouth and between the teeth one tablespoon of Pure Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil for five to ten minutes, and then spit it out in the sink.
Ayurveda believes that this helps remove bacteria and plaque from the mouth. It’s also held to keep your gums healthy and your teeth ‘smile ready’ shiny. You can normally brush your teeth after oil pulling.
After oil pulling and brushing, you can take a sip of warm lemon water. The high amount of Vitamin C present hydrates your body naturally and keeps your skin looking fresh, healthy, and youthful.
You can also keep drinking this water throughout the day if desired as it helps keep the body warm and healthy.
Both these foods are known to help flush toxins from the body. Adding them to your holiday menu will help you stay even more healthy. Now you can indulge in holiday sweets and cakes without any guilt!
Our senses are bombarded with various media gadgets. Holidays are a great time to shut off your computers, TVs and screens and interact positively with fellow human beings. Try it at least for one or two days during or after the holidays, to help calm your mind and ground your senses.
During the holidays, we tend to sleep late and wake up late. While it’s okay for a couple of days, it throws our body’s rhythm off the balance if continued for more than a week or so. Try to stick to the routine or get back to it as much and as soon as possible.
A warm cup of almond milk* with a few strands of saffron helps you sleep better and correct your sleep cycle after the holidays.
While these internal Ayurvedic detox techniques take care of your whole body, practice these effortless Ayurvedic skincare tips for a glowing, youthful look, this season.
