ABCs #1

Hot Water

Sipping small amounts of hot water throughout the day is an excellent starting point for your Ayurvedic endeavours. It cleanses the digestive and eliminative systems, and promotes metabolism. Simply bring your kettle of water to the boil, pour it into a thermos flask and you’re good to go. Take about half a teacup’s worth each time and allow it to cool to a comfortable temperature before drinking.

🤔 But why?
Being warm, light and fluid, the water spreads through the circulatory system increasing its functioning while dissolving toxins and flushing them out of the body.

✨ Pro Tip:
I leave the lid off my flask for a few minutes so that the water isn’t scalding whenever needed.

⚡️ Bonus Points:
Bring the water to a boil in a pan on the stove. Allow it to boil for another 10 minutes before storing it in your flask. Take a few sips every 30 minutes during the course of the day. By boiling it for longer, mineral deposits are reduced, leaving the water with a lighter quality which is more easily absorbed into the cells.
