10 small Ayurvedic rituals to change how you sleep, eat, feel

Start with oiling

Daily self-massage with warm sesame  or coconut oil (abhyanga) boosts circulation, calms the nerves and helps ground your  body before a busy day

Sip herbal infusions

People are swapping coffee for hot herbal brews like tulsi, ginger or cumin-coriander-fennel tea to support digestion and reduce inflammation naturally throughout the day

Eat mindfully slow

Rather than multitasking, many are returning to mindful eating, chewing slowly, avoiding screens, and tuning in to hunger and fullness cues to support gut health

Stick to routines

Ayurveda encourages consistent daily rhythms, like waking, eating and sleeping at regular times, which helps stabilise energy, digestion and mood across the day

Try tongue scraping

Scraping your tongue in the morning removes toxins (ama), improves breath and stimulates digestion, it’s one of the simplest, most effective morning detox habits

Breathe more deeply

Daily pranayama (like alternate nostril breathing) is being used to calm anxiety, balance energy and support mental clarity before starting work or socialising

Spice up gently

Instead of ultra-processed foods, people are cooking with healing spices like turmeric, cumin and ginger to support digestion and reduce bloating and sluggishness

Rest like it matters

Ayurveda treats rest as medicine, more  people are building wind-down rituals like oiling feet, warm baths, or no-screen time before bed to promote deep sleep

Follow the seasons

Living seasonally, eating warm, moist  foods in winter and light, fresh ones in summer, helps align the body with natural cycles and prevents seasonal imbalances
