How to thrive in spring based on your dosha

What is 10 Minute Ayurvedic Medicine?

This is a term I coined after leaning into Ayurveda but knowing most of my clients have minimal time. How can I get them to see maximum results in minimum time. That is where I created the idea of breaking up the Ayurvedic ideas into doshic needs based on time of day and energetic needs.

What is the Ayurvedic Clock?

In Ayurveda the doshas guide not only our mind/body type but a time of day, season and time of life.

Let's break down the times..

6-10am- Kapha

10-2pm- Pitta

2-6pm- Vata

6-10pm- Kapha

10-2am- Pitta

2-6am- Vata

10 MINUTE MEDICINE

6-10am Kapha

  • Gunas present- heaviness, sluggishness
  • Great time to workout, sun salutes, invigorating practices like kapalbhati
  • Breakfast based on your digestion
  • Morning routine- scrape your tongue, drink warm water

Pitta Dosha- 10-2pm

  • Digestion is the strongest
  • Productive time of day
  • 2pm you might need a little reset in terms of self-care

Vata 2-6pm

Pitta 10-2am

  • This is when your second wind can arise if you miss the 10pm bedtime.

Vata 2-6am

  • Sleeping
  • Arising with the sun
  • Starting your morning routine

Your turn

Create your own list of 10 Minute Ayurvedic medicine ideas based on the time of day and ways you can reset your energy.

Keep it on your phone if that is something you always have on hand, maybe you have a post it note with the ideas listed out.

Like increases like and opposites heal according to Ayurveda.
