A blanket of soft vibration
Rain, rain don’t go away. It’s so peaceful and cool today. I feel like superwoman flying in space, and going to a soothing place. With monsoon, the scenery around you turns into a grassy green. Sleeping at nights suddenly becomes an enjoyable experience. Well, we’ll make your experience even better.. Here you can have your cake and eat it too!!
The rain whether pouring or pelting forms a blanket of soft pulsation over the landscape, softening the sounds of regular life, turning down the dial on the intensity of normal activity. This sensory insulation makes monsoon the season conventionally considered best for internal focus, a naturally supported time to turn inside for meditation and spiritual study, as well as for taking Ayurvedic treatments.
From being the ‘science of life’, Ayurveda has now become the ‘slice of life’ for many with the initiation and optimistic growth of rejuvenation centres and Ayurvedic resorts in the country. When we live in concord with the virtues of the season accepting her benefits, and balancing any excesses monsoon time is the right time for so many good things.
Ayurveda has exceptional therapies and many massages to make your body packed with health and youthfulness.
Ayurveda for you
Monsoon is the best season for rejuvenation therapies that strengthen the body, as the body is most receptive to herbal oils and therapies during this season, as this is when the pores are open to their utmost level. If you are planning to start any Ayurvedic therapy, monsoon is the best time to start since the treatments work to their optimum best during monsoons. These favorable conditions speed up healing and revamp the body’s strength, health and balance.
Ayurveda has exceptional therapies and many massages to make your body packed with health and youthfulness. Ayurveda is a pranic system of medicine that brings a sense of stability on the body’s life vigor called the doshas.
This can be accomplished by following a strict diet, through various massages, pouring herbal liquid onto the whole body and by wrapping the body with essential herbal leaves and powders.
Experts advise people to indulge in a good rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage to detoxify and relax both body and mind. Ayurveda treatment is available from beauty care to stress management and slimming program to anti-aging program. Most places that offer Ayurvedic treatment are positioned in the southern state of Kerala, due to the climate and plentiful supply of medicinal plants and herbs there. Another novel choice is to book an Ayurvedic houseboat and discover the picturesque Kerala backwaters while receiving treatment.
Monsoon Regimen
Scrubbing of the skin after daily bath is highly suggested during rains to help let loose embedded toxins through the pores of the skin.
The ancient classics suggest usage of pastes prepared by rubbing sandalwood on mortar that would keep your skin soft and supple as well as fragrant. This also helps to keep away bad odour due to increased sweat during the moist climate.
Follow a diet having more of sour, salty and oily foods. Intake of old jaun (barley), wheat, old rice, oats and vegetable soups with a tadka (seasoning) of cumin, pepper in ghee is also recommended. You may take plenty of garlic and ginger in your food preparations.
Not only this, some herbs which are natural anti-oxidants like ginger, cinnamon and holy basil may be boiled in morning tea or taken in the form of decoction. These herbs can also be crushed and can be taken mixed with some honey.
Honey is another blessing during this seasonal cleansing. You may take it daily mixed in a glassful of boiled and self-cooled water or just have a spoonful as it is.
