The monsoon season has its own mild beauty, petrichor, stunning greens, and somber skies, but in terms of health, the season may not be as mild. With diminished immunity, slow digestion, and an increased risk of infections, the body is especially susceptible. Low energy is a common complaint that can easily disrupt your morning schedule. For this reason, it's especially crucial during this period to establish a strong, healthy foundation for the day, prioritizing both mental and physical well-being.

How establishing a holistic regimen can help you begin your day with balance and vitality, according to Dr. Partap Chauhan, the founder and director of Jiva Ayurveda. This is especially crucial since the monsoon season brings several seasonal health risks, such as decreased immunity.

Monsoon weakens your body's defenses against infections, slows down digestion, and lowers your immunity, he said. Ayurveda states that the change of seasons is a crucial period in which the body's equilibrium might be readily disrupted. This is why it's crucial to practice activities that strengthen your immune system, especially in the morning when your body is most open to good improvements.

Dr. Chauhan listed five early morning rituals that you may incorporate into your regimen:

1. Wake up with warm water

• Begin your day with a glass of warm water.
• It helps flush out toxins, stimulates digestion, and prepares your system for the day ahead.
• Tip: If you add a few drops of lemon juice or a pinch of turmeric, even better.

2. Oil pulling to detoxify naturally

• Swishing sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for about 5–10 minutes can remove oral toxins, support gum health and boost immunity.
• This ancient Ayurvedic practice is surprisingly effective and quite calming, too.

3. Herbal tea for daily defence

• Prepare an herbal infusion with tulsi, ginger and black pepper. It’s light, aromatic, and doesn’t take long to brew.
• It helps clear accumulated mucus, kindles digestive fire and acts as a natural defence against seasonal pathogens.

4. Pranayama to activate your lungs

• A few rounds of deep breathing, preferably Anulom Vilom or Bhastrika, can enhance oxygen flow, balance doshas, and keep your respiratory system robust.
• Do it on an empty stomach and in a clean space.

5. Abhyanga or self-massage

• Massaging your body with warm medicated oil before bath nourishes the skin, relaxes your muscles and helps in lymphatic drainage.
• It’s especially useful when the damp monsoon air makes you feel heavy or fatigued.
