Hello November! The month when you might be feeling the effects of Vata Season the most. That means being more tired, having allergies, digestive problems, especially gas and bloating (I call it noisy Vata belly!), more irritable or short tempered, heartburn or indigestion, slow or dry bowel movements, seasonal allergies, dry skin-hair-nail, foggy brain, sleep disorders.
These are signs that Vata is taking over, which is all about the qualities of Air and Ether (Space) elements; cold, dry, mobile, airy, and rough. The best thing is to live according to the season and calm down your Vata, applying the opposite qualities like heavy, stable, smooth, wet, slow and regular.
Eating food with the qualities of fire, water and earth will help you balance in the easiest way. Try to eat cooked, warm, heavy, hydrating and dense food like these baked sweet potatoes or apples on my website and Instagram! Try warm sesame oil self massage.

Ayurvedic Cooking
This season and Ayurveda inspire my everyday cooking so much! All these beautiful warming colors, like an art exhibition made by mother nature, gives me that spark and energy I need to brighten up my meals. I can feel that connection of “you are what you eat” completelt in this season, taking in these colorful plants all the way to my cells and illumunating that energy from my eyes, skin, hair, nails, joints…all over me!
And now Ayurveda teaches me how to adjust these ingredients, cooking methods and lifestyle in a way that suits my body and mind better.
I never knew that green juices, fresh salads, dried nuts, wholegrain crackers, cafein are NOT made for me (Vata-Pitta) and kept eating them all my life, ending up with gas spasms and pains, dried skin, restless mind!
Now my kitchen is my playground and pharmacy, my inner body-mind wisdom is my “check-up” method and all the nature’s offerings are my medicine.
I know well that we tend to ignore and not wanting to hear some of the changes that your body-mind needs, that is why most people reading these sentences will turn-off and stop reading it by now.
But if you are still reading and curious about how you can make these changes, first of all know that it is possible. If I could make it, you can make, too.
- Just go out there! Connect with nature, understand its language and messages.
- Visit a local market, grow your own herbs, buy abd cook fresh-local-organic.
- Even only these will start to transform your energy, health and vitality.
