Hot Head, Cold Feet

As we embrace fall and bid farewell to summer, we notice the changes in the environment. The leaves on some trees are turning into beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow. Meanwhile, the evergreen trees stand strong as ever, with their enduring resilience. They are undoubtedly the most steadfast throughout the year’s changing seasons. Have you ever wondered what keeps them so green and fresh? Evergreen trees are remarkably adaptive, shifting their energy inward to conserve vital nutrients. 

In Ayurveda, this is why herbs harvested from these species of trees are considered to have ushna veerya (a warming nature). These herbs are commonly used to improve circulation. Seasonal changes can disrupt our body's circulation if we are not mindful of necessary dietary adjustments. When circulation becomes suboptimal, one may experience excess pressure and heat in the head, while feeling cold and stiffness in the feet-a sign of an imbalance in energy dispersion. 

To restore proper circulation, it is beneficial to adjust exercise routines to strengthen the chest muscles, which support the heart. The resilience of the heart is crucial for maintaining an overall balance of energy and healthy circulation. For those needing extra support, evergreen herbs like Moringa can aid in promoting healthy circulation and energy balance.
