Detox for Fall with Ayurveda
Dry brush before the shower.
Use a soft, natural bristle brush to gently stroke the skin up towards the heart -- believed to increase circulation and energy.
Post shower, on damp skin, apply detoxifying and Vata balancing oils.
Don't skimp on breakfast. Add some almonds, honey and warming ginger to granola or oatmeal.
Replace coffee (dehydrates) with Vata tea packed with warming spices (great for digestion). Use the golden oil of ayurveda.
Try cooking with ghee -- a natural, salt- and lactose-free butter (minus the milk-solids) that's been "carrying" herbs and spices through bodies for thousands of years. (Olive oil works, too).
