For example, a person with aggravated Pitham (fire element) may be advised to avoid spicy, sour, and oily foods while including cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and herbs like neem. On the other hand, someone with dominant Vatham may benefit from warm, oily, and grounding foods that calm the air and space elements.
Alongside dietary changes, lifestyle modifications are suggested to align daily routines with the body’s natural rhythms. These may include:
Dinacharya (daily regimen): Waking up before sunrise, oil pulling, herbal bathing, and timely meals.
Seasonal routines (Ritucharya): Adjusting diet and activity based on the six Tamil seasons to maintain balance.
Sleep hygiene: Encouraging proper sleep timings and avoiding late nights.
Mental wellness: Incorporating pranayama, meditation, and relaxation to reduce stress and anxiety.
