    Beat The Monsoon Blues: 5 Morning Rituals To Build Immunity During Monsoon

    1 week ago

    (By Dr. Partap Chauhan)

    Waking up during the monsoon can feel like a tug of war between laziness and routine. But this season, while you’re reaching for that hot cup of tea, your immune system might already be dealing with unseen battles. According to Ayurveda, monsoon aggravates Vata and can weaken digestion—making you more vulnerable to infections. The solution isn’t exotic. It lies in simple rituals performed consistently, every morning, with intention and balance.

    Begin With Warm Water And Herbal Infusions:

    Start your day by sipping a glass of lukewarm water. You could add a slice of ginger or a dash of honey and lemon. This awakens your digestive fire (Agni), clears toxins (Ama), and gently kickstarts your metabolism. Over time, it helps regulate bowel movements and boosts inner immunity.

    Oil Pulling For Oral And Systemic Health:

    Take a spoonful of cold-pressed sesame or coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for 5 to 10 minutes. This traditional detox ritual, called Gandusha, strengthens oral hygiene, prevents throat infections, and supports immune function by reducing microbial load.

    Your breath is a powerful immune ally. Techniques like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari help balance the nervous system, improve oxygenation, and reduce inflammation in the body. Plus, they’re deeply calming—especially on gloomy, rainy mornings.

    Abhyanga With Immunity-boosting Oils:

    A massage using warm Ayurvedic oils like Ashwagandha Bala or Chyawanprashadi Taila improves blood circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and strengthens your body's natural defence mechanisms. Focus especially on the joints, scalp, and soles.

    Eat A Light, Warm Breakfast:

    Avoid cold milkshakes or raw salads. Instead, choose lightly spiced moong dal khichdi, warm porridge, or seasonal fruits like papaya or stewed apples. Warm foods improve digestion and support nutrient absorption, both essential during the damp monsoon.
