It is happening as the winter chill kicks in. The wavering between being in a heated room then
stepping out into the cold, wanting a hotter shower to warm the body and the
dread of wearing additional layers of clothing.
My body is being cocooned, that feeling of freedom and the natural tan
has faded.
I have always moisturised by body after a
shower. But now with the change of season my body requires more. It requires change and attention. That is when I had the “uhhaha” moment, my body
needed a bit of Ayurvedic attention. I love
the Ayurvedic principals; ‘the Science of Life’ – giving attention to
your internal and external body for natural healing and health. So out came the Aika Wellness – Vata Body Polish.
Vata you may ask. In Ayurveda there are three body types/dosha:
Pitta, Vata and Kapha, which can be determined with consultation from an
Ayurvedic practitioner or a quick of quiz.
The practitioner consultation will go into more detail than the quiz,
but you will get insight. Also, meeting with an Ayurvedic practitioner you
will be able to discuss your wellbeing further.
But for now, I wish to share my AikaWellness – Vata Body Polish experience. After reading the instruction on the tub, I stepped
into the shower, wet a face-washer and wiped over my arms, shoulders, legs, hips, legs,
lower back and glutes. Now my body was ready, I grabbed my little timber scooper and scooped a suitable measure (teaspoon
amount) and emptied the body polish on to my palm and started rubbing one limb at
a time and grabbing more polish as required. With the benefiting ingredients of Himalayan crystal
salt, Sesame oil, Nutmeg, Ashwaghanda and much more, I continued rubbing not
forgetting my torso, hips and glutes.
Begone that white dry dull look and
feel. Standing in the shower, I
continued to rub as water from the shower cascaded over my body. Once the scrub was rinsed off, there was no
lingering under the running shower water.
I was out. Patting my body dry I was
amazed to see and feel the difference.
I did this procedure a week later. Now, two weeks after the last I’m ready to do
it again. Do note: the second time I did the scrub, I’m not sure
what I did differently, but the colour of the scrub did affect my white shirt
that I wore that day. Don’t fear, when I
washed the shirt it redeemed its whiteness.
I shall keep in mind to scrub my shoulders more thoroughly, as I did the
first time.
As you will have noted I used and linked Aika
Wellness, would I recommend it? For
sure.
The Vata Body Polish has benefited my
exterior, but I know that I need to look at my diet at
this time to further balance vata.
Stay well and happy. Enjoy…
