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.
