How to Stay Balanced this Winter with DrTung's Ecosentials™

Everyone seems to have a unique way of keeping themselves in their balanced flow. Whether it's a morning meditation, neighborhood jog, spending an extra five minutes caring for your oral health or spending time with your child, we all start to acquire the morning essentials that we can't go a day without. It's the very nature of Ayurveda to have your own unique flow. But, as the seasons change, our daily essentials may shift with it. We can continue practicing individual practices while incorporating more universal ways based on the season. 

DrTung's Ecosentials™ Winter Essentials Campaign highlights the unique practices some incorporate during the winter to help keep them grounded and connected while sharing more universal ways to improve our health during the colder winter months.

But first, what can we all do during the winter to maintain our health?

It might seem surprising, but one of the most important places to start is in your mouth! We all know our mouth is home to thousands of bacteria, some good and some bad. Without proper care, some of these bad bacteria can end up in the bloodstream and cause damage in other places like your gut or heart — especially during the winter when our immune systems are typically weaker. 

DrTung's Ecosentials™ works to improve your immune system by helping mitigate the bad bacteria through an innovative oral care system. Practice DrTung's Ecosentials™ daily for optimal results.

Next, let's take a look at how you can individualize your winter essentials to cater directly to your unique needs. Below are some favorite practices to help you stay grounded and connected. We suggest trying on one of these to start to see how it fits you.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra focuses on slowing down the nervous system at a cellular level by focusing on controlling your body's relaxation response. It differs from traditional meditation in that it moves beyond the waking state and invites the practitioner to explore the deep layers of the Self. Our friends at @soulfullveda utilize Yoga Nidra during the winter for a healthy nervous system and to create intentional rest time. All while maintaining exceptional oral care with DrTung's Ionic Toothbrush.   

Spending time in nature

Walking outside in the cold may not sound like the most enjoyable experience. However, according to Kripalu, regular nature walks help mitigate the adverse effects of stress and depression, typically increasing during the winter months. Having just moved from Hawaii to Colorado, @roamerwoman spent a lot of time outside and wasn't about to let the colder weather keep her inside. She knows the powerful effects of spending time in nature, so @roamerwoman bundles up and takes her bike for a spin! The other winter essential Hailey never skips, daily pulling with DrTung’s Oil Pulling Concentrate.

Get moving! 

The winter months can begin to feel a little stagnant. Keep your mind and body thriving with daily movement! Mix it up and never get bored with fun activities such as dance class, pilates, H.I.T.T, or boxing like our dental hygenist friend Juliette at @yoursdhyg. You can always find fun and creative ways to improve your health, no matter the time of year. Juliette also never misses a day of flossing with her favorite DrTung’s Smart Floss.

The takeaway

While there is no one size fits all, we hope you can try on one of these winter essentials to find a bit more balance and connection in your daily life. Don't forget, oral care never takes a day off. Discover DrTung's Ecosentials™ to enhance your routine and help you stay balanced this winter!
