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.

Ah, feeling cold all the time can be uncomfortable, yeah? In Ayurveda, this often relates to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs aspects like movement, digestion, and yes, temperature regulation. When Vata's out of whack, it can lead to sensations of cold or chills in the body.
Let's start with some basic lifestyle tweaks. You wanna keep yourself warm, right? So, try to avoid cold, raw foods and drinks. Your digestion, or agni, benefits from cooked, warm meals. So, soups, stews, and porridge can really soothe and balance Vata. Spice it up with warming spices like ginger, cumin, and cinnamon – they can really stoke that inner fire!
Don’t forget about oils. A warm oil massage, called abhyanga, can really help ground Vata. Sesame oil is fantastic because it’s nourishing and warming. Give yourself a self-massage before a bath or shower. Speaking of baths, warm (but not hot) baths can be both relaxing and warming. Add a few drops of essential oils like lavender or sandalwood if you're feeling fancy.
Why not integrate some herbal tea into your day? Warming teas like ginger or cardamom can help soothe that cold sensation. Drink it throughout the day – no need to overload, though. Just moderace sips. Remember to wrap up warmly too, with layers that keep you cozy.
Also, are you eating enough good fats? They’re important for Vata balance. Think ghee, avocado, nuts. They support warm, calming energy. And make sure you're not skipping meals, as regular eating keeps your energy levels stable and supports overall balance.
If you're feeling dizzy too, it could be more than just an Ayurvedic perspective – check it with a doc. There might be an underlying condition that needs attention. Ayurvedic remedies will help in calming the dosha but partner that with necessary medical advice when needed, especially if these symptoms persist. Make sure you're hydrated but not overloading woth cold beverages.
Stick with warm, grounding habits as you tune in to how your body responds. This is all about finding balance for you, at your own pace – no rush.
