7 Ayurvedic & Wellness Rituals
Shravan (July 11 – August 9, 2025) isn’t just a time for spiritual devotion—it’s also the ideal season to cleanse your body, calm your mind, and reconnect with your inner self. In North India, where monsoon rains bring renewal, Shravan is the perfect month to experience ancient Ayurvedic and wellness rituals.
Whether you’re in Varanasi, Rishikesh, Haridwar, or planning a pilgrimage with TripCosmos.co, these seven rituals will add a powerful wellness dimension to your Shravan journey.
7 Ayurvedic & Wellness Rituals
1. Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Oil Massage)
One of the most recommended Shravan wellness rituals, Abhyanga is a full-body warm oil massage using herb-infused oils suited to your dosha (body type).
Benefits:
- Improves blood circulation
- Removes fatigue and toxins
- Boosts skin glow and immunity
- Balances Vata dosha—often aggravated during monsoon
Where to Try: Ayurvedic clinics in Varanasi, Rishikesh, or at ashrams in Haridwar
Pro Tip: Get it done on a Monday (Somvar) after your temple visit—followed by meditation for deeper restoration.
2.Shirodhara (Oil Stream Therapy)
This serene ritual involves pouring warm herbal oil steadily on the forehead—centered on the third eye chakra.
Benefits:
- Deep mental relaxation
- Ideal for stress, insomnia, anxiety
- Supports better meditation during Shravan
Perfect For:
Those attending Shravan Somvar pujas or practicing japa meditation—this prepares the mind for silence.
3. Mini Panchakarma Cleanse
Monsoon season is Ayurveda’s best time for Panchakarma—a detox process balancing all three doshas. A mini version includes:
- Abhyanga (oil massage)
- Swedana (herbal steam)
- Nasya (nasal oiling)
Why in Shravan?
Toxins rise due to heat and humidity. This helps cleanse, cool, and center the body for devotional strength.
Add-On: Include a light sattvic diet for 2–3 days with herbal teas and Triphala.
4. Udvartana (Dry Herbal Powder Massage)
Unlike oily massages, this uses fine herbal powders rubbed on the body in upward strokes.
Benefits:
- Removes dead skin
- Enhances lymph flow
- Aids digestion and weight balance
- Energizes post-fast (great after Somvar vrat)
Perfect for pilgrims who’ve been walking or fasting during Shravan events like Kanwar Yatra or temple circuits.
5. Shiro-Abhyanga + Yoga Nidra
Pair a calming head massage (Shiro Abhyanga) with guided deep yogic rest (Yoga Nidra) for nervous system reset.
Benefits:
- Releases mental tension
- Ideal before or after temple visits
- Pairs well with bhajans, mantra chanting, or Aarti
Best Time: Late evening—after Ganga Snan or sunset boat rides in Varanasi or Haridwar.
6.Dinacharya (Morning Ritual Routine)
In Shravan, align your mornings with Ayurvedic daily routine:
- Wake before sunrise
- Tongue scraping & oil pulling
- Light warm water with lemon
- Self-Abhyanga (self-massage with oil)
- Bath + short meditation
- Herbal tea (ginger-tulsi) or Chyawanprash
Why: Anchors your energy for the day’s pujas, fasts, and spiritual activity.
7. Chyawanprash Intake & Herbal Teas
End your day or fast with a spoon of Chyawanprash, a herbal jam packed with:
- Amla (Vitamin C)
- Ghee
- Honey
- 30+ Ayurvedic herbs
Benefits:
- Strengthens lungs and immunity
- Supports digestion during fasting
- Ideal during monsoon exposure
Pair it with tulsi-ginger tea, especially before bed.
