How to Make Turmeric Neem Balls
Here’s a simple recipe for making your own Turmeric Neem Balls to support your fall detox:
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp neem powder
- 1 cup dates (pitted)
- 1/2 cup almonds or cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- 1 tbsp ghee or coconut oil
- 1 tsp ginger powder (optional, for extra warmth)
- Pinch of black pepper (enhances absorption of turmeric)
Instructions:
- Blend the Dates and Nuts: In a food processor, blend the soaked nuts and dates until they form a thick, sticky paste.
- Add the Spices: Add turmeric, neem powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend again until fully mixed.
- Sweeten and Bind: Add honey or maple syrup and ghee or coconut oil to bind the mixture together. Pulse until the mixture holds together.
- Roll into Balls: Scoop small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. If the mixture feels too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
- Chill and Store: Place the balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
2. Consume Cooling Foods
As the weather cools and the crisp fall breeze sets in, you might be tempted to switch entirely to warm, heavy foods. While that can certainly help keep you cozy, Ayurveda teaches that it’s important to balance our internal energy, even in fall. Surprisingly, incorporating cooling foods into your diet this season can still be beneficial for maintaining harmony in your body.
Stay cool and try coconut, a staple in Ayurvedic diets, is one of the most effective and versatile cooling foods you can enjoy year-round, even in the fall.
As temperatures drop, the air becomes drier, which can lead to dehydration and skin dryness. Coconut, whether in the form of water, milk, or oil, is a powerful hydrator that replenishes your body from within. It’s ideal for cooling down inflammation and keeping your body hydrated in the dry fall air.
Drink coconut water throughout the day to stay hydrated or add coconut milk to your soups and stews for a comforting yet cooling twist.
3. Transitioning to Richer, Hydrating Skin Care & Hair Care
It is important to switch to more hydrating skincare products. Pure Mitti’s Ayurvedic Soap Collection, especially the Vetiver Soap, is perfect for locking in moisture and preventing the dryness that often comes with the fall season. Vetiver is known for its grounding and soothing properties, making it an essential part of your autumn skincare routine.
The dry, cool air of fall tends to pull moisture from the environment and your body, leaving your hair more susceptible to dryness and breakage. Without adequate moisture, your scalp can become flaky, your hair shafts brittle, and your strands frizzy.
Pure Mitti’s Ayurvedic Moringa Hair Mask is the perfect solution to restore moisture, strength, and vitality to your hair during this transitional season. Rich in natural oils and nutrients, the moringa hair mask deeply nourishes the hair follicles, repairs damage, and locks in moisture, keeping your hair soft, smooth, and hydrated despite the dry fall air.
Moringa is highly valued for its rejuvenating and moisturizing properties. Known as the "Miracle Tree," moringa leaves are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the scalp and hair.
4. Avoid overheating
During autumn, it's essential to stay cool—quite literally. The heat associated with the fire element in the **Pitta dosha** makes this season unsuitable for activities like spending time in saunas, hot tubs, or steam rooms, as well as overdoing exercise routines. Even overworking—whether it's putting in too many hours, constantly thinking about work, or staying up late—can generate heat and lead to burnout. To maintain balance, it's important to avoid extremes in work, physical activity, and exposure to heat.
5. Enjoy Nature
Embrace the beauty of fall by spending time in nature. With the days getting shorter, it's important to get outside as often as you can. Keep it simple—take a scenic drive to enjoy the changing colors of the leaves, pick apples, or visit a pumpkin patch. You can also take a long walk on trails or by the beach with your family or dog to fully experience the season. Make it a point to connect with nature every day.
