How to Start Living An Ayurvedic Lifestyle

I'm going to gear this podcast/blog to hit home with the householders out there

  • Learn how to add in Ayurveda if your a busy mom
  • Learn how to add in Ayurveda if you work a full time job
  • How do you fit in all the things when time seems of the essence

Living an Ayurvedic lifestyle involves adopting principles from Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine that originated in India. It emphasizes balance in the body, mind, and spirit to promote overall health and well-being. Here are some guidelines to help you prepare to live an Ayurvedic lifestyle in 2024:

  1. Understand Your Dosha First & Than the Other Two:
    • Ayurveda categorizes individuals into three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha has its own set of characteristics, and understanding your dominant dosha can help you tailor your lifestyle choices accordingly. You can take online quizzes or consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine your dosha.
  2. Balanced Diet:
    •  Ayurveda encourages a diet rich in fresh, whole foods, emphasizing seasonal and local produce. Pay attention to how different foods affect your body and adjust your diet accordingly.
  3. Eat Mindfully:
    • Practice mindful eating by being fully present during meals. Chew your food thoroughly, savor the flavors, and avoid distractions like television or smartphones.
  4. Herbal Remedies:
    • Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before using herbal supplements like ashwagandha or triphala. Learn how to intuitively use ginger, turmeric and cinnamon.
  5. Daily Routine (Dinacharya):
    • Establish a daily routine that aligns with the natural rhythm of the day. This includes waking up early, practicing oil pulling or tongue scraping, and incorporating activities like meditation and yoga into your morning routine.
  6. Yoga and Exercise:
    • Engage in regular physical activity, with a focus on exercises that align with your dosha. Yoga is often recommended in Ayurveda for its holistic benefits on the body and mind.
  7. Mind-Body Connection:
    • Cultivate a strong mind-body connection through practices like meditation and mindfulness. This helps reduce stress and promotes emotional well-being.
  8. Adequate Sleep:
    • Ensure you get enough quality sleep. Establish a calming bedtime routine, avoid stimulating activities before sleep, and create a comfortable sleep environment.
  9. Detoxification:
    • Periodically detoxify your body through practices like Ayurvedic cleansing or Panchakarma. This helps remove accumulated toxins and restore balance. Castor oil packs are a great starting place for detoxification done at home!
  10. Environmental Awareness:
    • Be mindful of your surroundings and the impact they have on your well-being. Connect with nature, spend time outdoors, and choose natural and eco-friendly products.
  11. Consult with an Ayurvedic Practitioner:
    • If possible, seek guidance from a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual constitution and health concerns.
