Your Ayurvedic Guide to Winter Restoration
Winter invites us into hibernation—a time that invites us to turn inward to restore our energy after a busy year. Rather than rush to make resolutions for the calendar year ahead, Ayurveda invites us to reflect and lean into the stillness of the season.
Understanding Winter in Ayurveda
Winter begins with the airy qualities of Vata, then shifts to Kapha’s cold, heavy, and still qualities. With earth and water elements dominating, you may notice slower digestion, joint stiffness, or a tendency to withdraw. Ayurvedic remedies for winter focus on warming foods and spices, grounding practices, and gentle movement to promote circulation.
