Winter arrives in northern hemisphere

December 21st marks the start of winter in the northern hemisphere.

Folks are busy shopping for Christmas or planning to visit family. Either way, it is a busy time for many of us. Some times the flurry of activity that takes place during the holiday season can be stressful.

What can be done?

Vata folks need to make sure and eat small meals throughout the day and favor warm moist foods (soups, stews, Dal, etc.) Take Ashwagandha for stress and Shankhpushpi for anxiousness.

Pitta people are good planners and hence the stress is due more to do with making sure the season's plans go off perfectly. Pace the intake of Pitta aggravting foods (fried, red meats) if possible. Take Chyawanprash to shore up the immune system and prepare for a liver cleanse after new years day with Phyllanthus.

Kapha individuals should really watch the intake of goodies during the party season. They should favor puddings over cakes and smoothies over ice cream. Take the time to go for a brisk walk even if it is for a short time. A liver cleanse will start the new year of right.

Please share your plans for this holiday season
