1. Start the day with Turmeric-Infused Warm Water

Start your mornings with a glass of warm water mixed with a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of lemon juice. Turmeric is known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This drink flushes out toxins, supports liver function, and helps build your internal defence system.

2. The Magic of Indian Spices

Your kitchen is your first pharmacy. Spices like ginger, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves do more than add flavour—they kindle digestion and help the body absorb nutrients better. Ayurvedic practitioners often recommend adding these spices to soups, herbal teas, or hot water infusions throughout the day.

3. Daily Dose of Chyawanprash

A spoonful of Chyawanprash—a time-tested Ayurvedic herbal jam made from Amla (rich in Vitamin C) and over 40 natural ingredients—works magically for your immune system. It nourishes tissues, improves respiratory health, and combats fatigue and infections. It is best advised to have in early in the morning on an empty stomach.

4. Eat Warm, Cooked Foods Only

Raw salads, cold smoothies, or refrigerated leftovers might seem tempting—but they’re a big no-no during the monsoon. Ayurveda recommends eating freshly cooked, warm meals to keep digestion strong. Foods like moong dal khichdi, lightly spiced soups, and ghee-laced rice are excellent choices.

5. Try Nasya: The Ayurvedic Nasal Detox

Monsoon air is often heavy as they carry millions of allergies and contiguous bacteria. Practicing Nasya—the application of a drop of sesame oil, cow ghee, or Anu taila in each nostril—acts as a protective barrier. It lubricates your nasal passages, prevents infections, and even helps reduce headaches and sinus congestion. This should be practised in the mornings, after you have a bath or yoga.

Remember, Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs—it’s about lifestyle. To truly stay healthy this monsoon, ensure you’re sleeping well, managing stress, and following a gentle daily routine. Slightly support your diet with light yoga or breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari Pranayama to strengthen your lungs and calm your mind.

This monsoon, let Ayurveda be your guide to resilience, immunity, and inner balance.
