If you’ve been feeling burnt out, unfocused, anxious or simply ‘off’ recently, read on. You’re about to learn four game-changing Ayurvedic practices that will help you get a fresh start—from the inside out.
What is Ayurveda, Really? A Little Bit of the Science Behind Self-Healing
Before we go into the cleansing rituals themselves, let’s make one thing clear: Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs and massage. It’s a holistic system of living that treats your mind, body and spirit as a whole being.
Central to ayurveda is balance—among the elements, you own energies (or doshas), and your surroundings. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are your body type your genetic and emotional imprint.
Vata (air + space): Imagine creativity, quick thinking — though also anxiety and dryness when it’s out of balance.
Pitta (fire + water): Sharp, clear-headed, goal-oriented —but tends to fly off the handle and inflame.
Kapha (earth + water): Grounded, nurturing — but can slide into sluggishness and stagnation.
Ayurveda doesn’t cure symptoms — it cures the root cause. And the goal? That in a diet, routine, breath, nature-communed way-of-life, you won't get sick.
So now, in this reset moment, let’s take a look at the four foundational wellness rituals that can reset your body and mind naturally.
🌿 1. Abhyanga - The Ritual of Self-Love Massage
“The body is your temple. Pure Simplicity Keep it simple, pure for the soul to live in.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
Why Abhyanga Works:
This is no ordinary body massage. Abhyanga is a warm oil massage used in Ayurveda as a form of self massage to nourish your skin, soothe stress and rev up circulation. Massage your loveshandle erogenous zone every day Lovingly rubbing yourself every day is not only healing, but also deeply grounding.
How to Do It (Step-by-Step):
Use oil that is compatible with your dosha:
Vata: Warm oil (sesame or almond oil)
Pitta: Cool coconut or sunflower oil
Kapha: Uplifting mustard or safflower oil
Gently heat the oil in a bowl (check with a drop on your wrist—it should be warmish).
Use circular motions to massage over joints and long strokes along limbs, moving towards your heart.
Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
Rinse gently in a warm bath or shower (no harsh soaps!).
Benefits of Abhyanga:
Reduces anxiety and stress instantly
Improves sleep quality
Boosts lymphatic drainage
Softens skin and strengthens tissues
Enhances self-awareness and self-love
👅 2. Tongue Scraping (Jihwa Prakshalana) – Cleanse Time – The 60-Second Detox You’re Not Doing But Should Be
You might be thinking: “Why should a scrape to my tongue affect my mental clarity?” Here’s the truth—your tongue reveals what’s going on inside your body. That white layer you see when you wake up in the morning? In Ayurveda they call it “ama”—undigested toxins.
How to Do It:
Scrape with a copper or stainless steel scraper (never plastic!).
First thing in the morning, go to the mirror.
Gently, but firmly, scrape back to front 5–7 times.
Wash both the scraper and your mouth.
Rinse with warm water or oil pulling if desired.
Real-Life Benefits:
Instantly removes bacteria and toxins
Enhances taste sensitivity
Freshens breath naturally
Improves digestion (yes, really!)
As a tonic for the digestive system and to awaken your digestive fire (Agni)—which is crucial for energy
👃 3. Nasya – Bring Your Mind The Clarity It Deserves
Our noses are not just for breathing — they are also the gateway to the brain, according to Ayurveda. Nasya is the old tradition of squirting medicated oils up the nostrils (aka oil pulling for your nose) to clear the sinuses, enhance mental clarity, or even change your state of mind.
How to Do Nasya (Safely):
Take Nasya oil (herbal combinations available or warm plain sesame /ghee).
Rest back or incline your head with ease.
Put 2-3 drops of the oil into each nostril.
Sniff gently while allowing the oil to travel up.
Rest a bit before you get up.
When to Do It:
Best in the morning after tongue scraping.
Do not use during an active cold or with heavy sinus congestion.
Why It Works:
Clears brain fog and tension
Hydrates the mucous membranes of the nostrils (perfect for dry climates)
Reduces stress and anxiety
Enhances mental sharpness and memory
Balances Vata in the head (good for you if you tend to overthink!)
🔁 4. Dinacharya – The Ancient Tradition of The Ayurvedic Daily Routine To Follow So You Feel Centered All the Time
That is the pulse of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Dinacharya translates to “daily rhythm,” and it refers to the structured way of life that ensures that your body will align itself with the natural cycles of the day.
Key Steps of Dinacharya:
🌅 Wake up before the sunrise (Brahma Muhurta – early morning) between 5–6 AM.
🥤 Flush toxins with warm water and lemon
👅 Cleanse your tongue + meditate/ perform pranayama
🧘♀️ Stretch with yoga or some stretching movements
🍲 Have your largest meal early (when digestion is at its peak)
🌙 Dinner should be light and no later than 7 PM
Why It’s Powerful:
It will sync your hormones and digestion to the clock of nature
Creates predictability → less stress
Increases energy and productivity naturally
Supports sound sleep without pills

Start with just one ritual. We recommend tongue scraping — it’s quick, simple and shockingly powerful.
