I make a clear space
What is “clearing the air”? It's hunting down all those little unwanted things that plague your body day after day. It is not a question of sanitizing your environment, rather of applying small daily reflexes (often inspired by Ayurveda) to promote a state of overall balance.
And that starts with the mouth! It is the gateway to our body. It is home to a particularly dense bacterial ecosystem which, when unbalanced, affects our immune system. Ayurvedic medicine uses a very specific accessory to preserve oral hygiene, and has done so for millennia. This is the famous tongue scraper.
Traditionally made of copper ( like that of Aime ), renowned for its purifying properties, the tongue scraper comes in more modern versions. This is the case of The Smilist™ tongue scraper , which has the particularity of having two tips: the silicone one allows you to “rub” the surface of the tongue (with a little toothpaste), while the other metal end is used to “scrape” residue.
To go further… Also try the “oil pulling” (or gandusha) technique, which consists of making a mouthwash with coconut oil for around ten minutes.
I take care of my diet
“Let your food be your medicine,” Hippocrates is said to have said. Of course, the contents of our plates are the starting point for everything else. In a way, we are what we eat. And this winter, we want to be strong, serene, protected and radiant – in short, to feel healthy.
The first reflex is to adopt a varied and balanced diet, favoring fresh, organic and seasonal ingredients. Don't forget to choose your cooking method carefully to limit the destruction of nutrients. Gentle steaming is considered one of the best by nutritionists because it preserves the nutritional value and flavors of our food.
Do not hesitate to introduce foods known to contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system into your menu. Among them, we find for example citrus fruits and spinach (rich in vitamin C), whole grains (rich in group B vitamins), nuts and fatty fish (rich in omega-3) or even fermented foods. (rich in probiotics).
To go further… In the morning, treat yourself to a revitalizing ritual with Immunity Boost coffee from So Mush Organic , enriched with functional mushroom extracts (shiitake + maitake).
I protect my skin from the cold
Whether you have oily or already dry skin, winter is the season of all aggressions. Outside, she has to face the cold and the wind. Inside, it must tolerate overheated air, which often goes hand in hand with a lack of humidity. An explosive cocktail that causes dehydration, discomfort and redness.
The priority of the season is to preserve the natural hydration of our skin by strengthening its protective barrier. If the discomfort is already present, we can act with soothing treatments. Grums Aarhus Hydra Calm Cream has the advantage of ticking both boxes. Its creamy, fast-absorbing texture is enriched with coffee extract for softer, more comfortable and luminous skin.
Very dry skin? Do the same with your sweaters: play with layering! The secret is to apply an oil on top of your cream. This thin layer of lipids will help you “seal in” hydration more effectively. Our seasonal choice: Merme Wild Rose Oil , a minimalist concentrate of essential fatty acids that revitalizes the appearance of damaged or flaky skin.
To go further… Cultivate your beauty from the inside out by introducing the Holidermie Omega-3 food supplement into your routine.
