- Maintain a Consistent Routine: Ensure that your child follows a regular schedule for meals, sleep, play, and study to provide stability.
- Avoid raw & cold foods: Offer warm, moist, sweet, sour, and salty foods. Cooked fruits like apples and pears make excellent snacks. Avoid raw foods and prioritize nourishing options like soups and stews.
- Natural Antibiotic: Give your children a daily spoonful of honey mixed with turmeric.
- Shower your body on the inside 🙂 Offer a glass of warm water before breakfast “to shower the inside”. It will help them going to the potty each morning. Vata is related to dryness and it can slow down our digestion.
- Immunity-Boosting Spices: Include spices like ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin into their meals to enhance immunity and provide warmth. Easiest way is to add these spices to their warm oats in the morning.
- Ayurvedic Oil Massage: Perform a gentle daily massage with Vata-balancing oils like almond or sesame oil to soothe their nervous system, general hydration, improve sleep, and foster relaxation.
- Appropriate Dressing: Ensure your child is dressed warmly and waterproof. It is important to cover their heads, and especially ears to avoid infections.
- Muddy Puddles: Encourage outdoor play and exploration, even in cool wet weather. Its important to stay connected to nature by spending time outdoors.
- Runny Noses: Keep natural remedies like saline nasal drops on hand to alleviate congestion and ensure your child’s comfort. Herbal remedies (drops diffusers) can also be of great support.
