☯️tridosha
Wake before sunrise for tridosha balance
Brahma Muhurta (~1.5 hr before sunrise) is the most sattvic period of day — best for meditation, study, exercise. Sleeping past sunrise increases Kapha and dulls the mind across all body types.

8 tips
☯️tridosha
Triphala — every household's daily ally
Triphala (3–5g) with warm water at bedtime keeps digestion clean, eyes bright, and tissues nourished. Suits all doshas. Skip during pregnancy and acute diarrhea.
🌊kapha
Trikatu in winter to wake up metabolism
Trikatu (Pippali + Maricha + Shunthi in equal parts), 1–2g with warm honey before meals, kindles Agni and clears Kapha congestion. Discontinue if heartburn or dryness develops.
🌊kaphavarsha
Lighten Kapha in monsoon (Varsha Ritu)
Monsoon increases Kapha and weakens Agni. Have ginger tea on waking, prefer light millets over rice, avoid dairy, oily snacks, and afternoon naps. Daily Udvartana (herbal powder massage) keeps the body light.
🔥pitta
Brahmi for Pitta-aggravated mind
For irritability, perfectionism, and migraine — classical Pitta mental signs — Brahmi taken with milk at bedtime cools the mind. Combine with Shankhpushpi for stronger effect. Best under Ayurvedic guidance.
🔥pittagrishma
Cooling Pitta in Kerala summer
Summer (March–May) aggravates Pitta. Drink coriander seed water, sip rose-petal milk, eat fresh coconut, cucumber, melon. Avoid sour citrus, fermented foods, hot spices, and direct sun between 11am–3pm.
🌬️vata
Warm, oily, grounding diet for Vata
Eat warm, cooked, slightly oily, well-spiced food. Avoid raw salads, cold drinks, and dry snacks. Favour ghee, sweet potatoes, almonds, dates. Eat at regular times — irregular eating spikes Vata more than wrong food.
🌬️vatasharad
Daily oil massage to ground Vata
Vata types benefit deeply from a daily 10-minute Abhyanga (warm sesame oil self-massage) before bath, especially in autumn when wind and dryness peak. Focus on joints, scalp, soles. Reduces anxiety, improves sleep, strengthens immunity.
