Come Home to Balance: Winter Ayurvedic Practices to Replenish & Restore

Ayurveda recognizes late winter as a Kapha season with strong Vata undertones—cold, dense, harsh, and rough. Incorporating warm, slow, and nourishing routines helps counter these qualities and support balance. Practical self-care, along with understanding your unique constitution through an Ayurvedic lens, can help you stay grounded and well as the winter season peaks.

Ayurvedic Marma Balancing

A gentle yet powerful treatment that works with the body’s vital energy points to release physical and emotional blockages. This treatment subtly balances the heaviness of late winter and includes the application of oil, which is a good idea all year-round.

Shirodhara

Warm oil on the third eye, forehead, and scalp helps ground the nervous system in a very subtle yet profound way. This is a great way to balance the mind, body, and spirit during the harshness of late winter.

Garshana

Also known as dry brushing. This helps to stimulate circulation and gently exfoliates the skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It supports lymphatic cleansing by moving stagnant energy and aiding the body’s natural detox process.
