Dinacharya (Daily Routine)

  • Copper tongue scraper

    copper tongue scraper

    Use each morning to clean the ama from the tongue. It should all scrape off, and it’s quite normal to have in the morning. But, if it doesn’t scrape off completely, that is a sign the gunk is deeper in the tissues and there could be potential problems in the future. Please contact an Ayurvedic Practitioner.

  • nasya oil

    nasya oil

    Nasya is the practice oiling the nose. It’s beneficial to warm a little oil and put a couple of drops in each nostril. I heat mine in a mug of hot water from the teapot. Lie on the bed with your head hanging off for a few minutes to allow the oil to slowly drip back. You may taste it in the back of your throat.

  • CCF tea

    ccf tea

    Cumin, coriander + fennel tea is an amazing digestive tonic. It’s tridoshic, so it won’t overheat or dry out or increase heaviness. It will stimulate the digestive fire and help burn ama in the system. Heat the seeds in boiling water for a few minutes, put in your thermos, then sip all day on this beautiful beverage for great digestion and health.

Abhyanga Oils (Daily Massage Oils)

Abhyanga is an important part of the daily routine. It’s best if you can do daily, leaving the oil on for at least 15 minutes before your shower. But a few times a week, for only five minutes is better than nothing at all! Be sure to heat up all oils in glass jars before applying. I recommend getting a hotpot, filling it with some water and putting the jar of oil in to gently heat up.
