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
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
- Not a good time to workout
- Walk after lunch
