In this episode of the Ayurveda daily habit series, we're exploring two ancient practices for tending the sinus cavity neti and nasya.

We'll talk about why the nose matters for far more than simply moving air, including smell, breath, sensory perception, nervous system regulation, sleep, and even the way we use the muscles and tissues of the face. Then I'll walk you through how I personally incorporate neti and nasya into my morning routine, including how to use a neti pot safely and why Ayurveda follows cleansing with nourishment.

In this episode of the Dinacharya series, we're looking at the Ayurvedic “morning reset”: warm water, morning elimination, meditation and prayer, movement, and morning light. We’ll explore why Ayurveda places so much importance on when we do things, how our daily rhythms interact with digestion, mental clarity and energy, and why these practices aren't about adding another wellness checklist to your life. They're about tending yourself so you have greater capacity to turn outward toward your work, relationships, purpose and service.

Today we're kicking off the daily habit series with the easiest habit of all: tongue scraping. We're getting into why Ayurveda has recommended this morning practice for thousands of years, what your tongue can tell you about digestion, and how tongue scraping supports taste, saliva, oral health, and the very beginning of the digestive process. I'm also walking you through exactly how I tongue scrape, and the rest of my Ayurvedic-inspired morning oral care routine, including herbal tooth tablets, flossing, and oil pulling.
