दीपस्य आवलि यथाः दीपावली
Deepasya Aavali yetaha Deepavali.
Deepavali means the Row of Lights..It falls during Hemantha Rithu (early Winter). During this Season Vata And Kapha dominates the environment.
To balance these doshas during Hemantha we need to follow certain rituals mentioned in Ayurveda. To control vata dosha we need to apply oil all over the body and do slight massage. This is called as 'Abhayanga'. Tila taila (sesame oil) is very useful in balancing these doshas. It has wonderful healing properties. This particular oil has to be applied from head to toe to prevent Vata and Kapha domination during Hemantha Rithu where Deepavali occurs.
Red Chilli , Ashwagandha, Bala Tulisi are added to enrich the oil and give more benefits during Abhayanga.
When Sesame oil is applied to hair better to use Herbal powders to wash the hair which enriches the root and keeps the hair strong and shine.
For body a special herbal nalangu maavu is used to cleanse the body after oil bath.
Immediately after the oil bath Rasanadhi Choornam is appied on the Crown of the head to remove the unnecessary Kapha formation and prevent sinus which is common during Hemantha Rithu.
A herbal Jam called Deepavali Leghyam is consumed after the oil bath and in empty stomach to prevent indigestion . As on this Festival day it is normal to consume sweets and savories not only from our kitchen but from our friends and relatives too..
Its good practice to follow what is said in Ayurvedic texts for our well being and holistic life.
Happy and safe deepavi to every one !
Ayurvedam Arogiyam 🙏🙏
