Ancient Indian wellness practices are slowly making a comeback - not as trends, but as daily habits that actually feel doable. For 2026, these five rituals stand out for their simplicity and long-term impact.

1. Ghee pulling for oral health
Swishing warm ghee in the mouth every morning is believed to support gum health, reduce dryness, and leave the mouth feeling cleaner and fresher.

2. Nightly navel oiling
Massaging a few drops of warm oil into the navel before sleep is said to calm the body, ease cramps, and support digestion - all while helping you unwind.

3. Copper tongue scraping
A quick morning ritual that helps remove tongue buildup, improves oral hygiene, and kickstarts digestion before your first meal.

4. Abhyanga or self-oil massage
A weekly warm oil massage that nourishes the skin, improves circulation, and relaxes the nervous system - perfect for slowing down in a fast life.

5. Triphala before bedtime
This gentle herbal blend is traditionally used to support digestion and gut balance without being harsh on the body.

These rituals aren’t about instant results. They’re about consistency, balance, and reconnecting with practices that have quietly worked for centuries.
