How to take care of your body in autumn

Autumn is often considered as a season of cold and flu, and most of us struggle through this season by keeping tabs of antibiotics (which can do lots harms). However, in Ayurveda it is possible to take care of yourself e without popping antibiotics every day.

According to Ayurveda Dubai, in autumn our Vata dosha lost its balance because of extreme dryness in weather. In autumn, most of us suffer from diseases like dry skin, chapped lips and dry nasal passages. Most of us complain about bloating, gas and other digestive disorders. Insomnia disrupted sleep patterns, cold hands, and cold sensitivity and create an imbalance. In some people, it will cause poor concentration, hyperactivity, anxiety and fearfulness.

Here are top Ayurveda ways to prevent these symptoms:

Reduce stress levels:

Stress can affect the functioning of the immune system, and leave your body to illness. According to Ayurveda and other health experts, to get a healthy body and mind, it is really important to reduce your stress levels. According to a study published in Health Psychology, “severe chronic stress”, lasting for more than a month, can double your chances to get sick.

So make it your priority to reduce stress levels because if you let it control you, it will do a lot of harm to your body and mind.

Get more sleep:

Getting more sleep will reduce your stress levels by offering deep relaxations. According to researches Carnegie Mellon found that people who get less than seven hours of sleep nightly will have higher chances of catching colds and temperature.

Take benefits of alternate nostril breathing:

To reduce congestions and mucous build up, often alternate nostril breathing is recommended.

Cleanse your sinuses:

To prevent colds, flu and extreme dryness, Ayurveda experts often suggest us to use Neti wash, a kind of pot that is used to cleanse the nostril. It is recommended to use iodine free salt mixed in the water to cleanse the nostril area. Moreover, Ayurveda experts recommend on using nose oils and powders to clear the toxic build-up.

Neti wash flush out the bacteria, viruses, excess mucus and dust. To prepare the Neti wash mix ¼ tsp of non-iodized salt into one cup of filtered, pre-boiled and distilled water. Bend over a sink insert the tip of the Neti pot into your nostril and tilt your head a little letting the saline mixture pass through your nasal passages. Repeat the procedure two to three times and clear all the sinuses.

Saline nasal irrigation can be beneficial for treating chronic sinus, seasonal allergies, and cold. According to medical experts, most sinus problems originate with dry and irritated sinuses.

Use hot oil massage:

Hot oil massages will benefit in reducing anxiety and stress, in most cases Ayurveda experts suggest sesame oil in the fall, the warming qualities will prevent the body from cold and dry effects of weather.

Ayurveda treatment for diseases: Drinking water out of copper vessel

Why water from a copper vessel?

Copper is an essential metal that is another important metal element our body needs, also it is well known for its antimicrobial properties. Scientific studies have shown that copper works in removing toxic elements from the water, and due to this it is often called the ‘Oligodynamic’. 

 

 

Since our body cannot produce Copper on its own, we need to take it from external sources. One thing to state clearly that copper can be obtained from legumes, dark leafy greens, nuts, and seafood – however, these sources can only provide a limited supply of copper. For the sufficient supply of copper, in Ayurveda Dubai it is recommended to use copper-infused water. It is really important to know what copper-infused water can do to our body.

Benefits:

Here are some great benefits of copper infused water:

• It can detoxify the body, ionize it and balance the overall body functions. We should remember that in most places water is acidic, which cause PH imbalance and becomes the prime source of various diseases.
• Additionally, it will reduce inflammation, boost immunity and improve digestive operations.

How to create copper-infused water?

For copper-infused water, a vessel made from copper is essential; you can look into your grandmother’s kitchen for this or can visit your nearest antique shop.

After that clean your vessel with the help of lemon (simply cut it into two halves and scrub the vessel) and then rinse it well, you will have a clean, ready to use the copper vessel.

• Place your copper vessel in a clean place in your home, and then fill it with fresh water every evening and let the water sits there for the whole night. Copper will start infusing in the water if there is full moon place the vessel under the moonlight. The water will not only absorb copper benefits, but also moon’s cooling and nourishing qualities will supercharge it.
• Wake up in the morning and start sipping the water, some people use the same water with lemon and honey to kick start their day.
• The only misconception I like to change about, how water will taste, it will initially smell like pennies, but gradually you will get used to it. Moreover, there are no side effects, so it is perfectly safe for every age group.

Ayurveda history of copper infused water:

Ayurveda uses natural methods to treat different ailments, and it largely depends on materials/elements available in its natural form. Ayurveda believes in balance and when the balance disturbed, diseases attack our bodies. It believes that stressful lifestyle is the reason of imbalance and to bring back the balance, water can be used as a medicine. So it is recommended to use copper-infused water because it has a lot of benefits.

Moreover, if you want to be more experimental and can invest some huge amount, you can use vessels made from gold and silver. Both of these elements are proven to be the youth elixir. In ancient Roman history, people use gold utensils because they believe that it will keep them young. And we all know how young and strong they were. Copper infused water will ensure that your body can get rid of toxic build-up, the prime cause of body imbalance, so even if you are not aware with Ayurveda I recommend you to give it a try.
