Feeling cold all the time. - #3513

Feeling cold all the time, along with dizziness, may indicate an imbalance of Vata dosha or weakened circulation and digestion. Here are some Ayurvedic remedies to address this issue: Dietary Recommendations: Warm, Nourishing Foods: Consume cooked, easy-to-digest meals like soups, stews, and kichari. Include warming spices such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper in your diet. Eat healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, and avocado for warmth and energy. Avoid: Cold or raw foods, refrigerated drinks, and dry snacks. Caffeine and overly spicy foods, which can disturb Vata. Hydration: Sip on warm water or herbal teas with ginger, fennel, or tulsi throughout the day. Lifestyle Recommendations: Daily Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Massage the body with warm sesame oil before bathing to improve circulation and balance Vata. Clothing: Wear warm, layered clothing and avoid exposure to cold environments. Exercise: Gentle activities like yoga, walking, or stretching can improve blood flow and reduce cold sensitivity. Herbal Remedies: Ashwagandha Powder: Take 1 teaspoon with warm milk or water at night to improve circulation and energy. Trikatu Churna (ginger, black pepper, and long pepper): Take 1/4 teaspoon with honey before meals to boost digestion and warmth. Chyawanprash: Consume 1 teaspoon daily to strengthen immunity and improve overall warmth. Sleep and Relaxation: Practice warm oil Nasya (apply a drop of warm sesame oil in each nostril) to calm dizziness and balance Vata. Avoid overstimulation or staying up late, which can aggravate symptoms. By following these steps, you should feel warmer and more balanced over time. If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.
