3 Things Every Mum Can Do in the Morning She Didn't Know About (To Support Her Health)

Between the chaos of breakfast, school lunches, and finding the missing shoe, mornings can feel like a battlefield. But the secret to better energy, clearer skin, improved digestion, and even hormone balance could lie in a few small rituals you’ve never thought to try.


Here are three surprisingly simple, science-backed morning habits every mum can weave into her routine, even with kids at her feet.

1. Tongue Scraping, The Detox Ritual You’re Probably Skipping


Before you drink water, eat breakfast or brush your teeth, try tongue scraping. This ancient Ayurvedic practice involves using a U-shaped scraper (or even a teaspoon) to gently remove the white coating from your tongue.

  • That white coating is made up of bacteria, toxins, and dead cells that accumulate overnight

  • Removing it can improve digestion, freshen breath and even reduce sugar cravings

  • It’s also a powerful ritual for oral and gut health, which are closely connected

How: Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Gently scrape your tongue from back to front 5–10 times, rinse, and then follow with water.


2. Morning Light, Your Hormones’ Best Friend


Getting 10 minutes of natural light within 30–60 minutes of waking can reset your circadian rhythm and help regulate cortisol and melatonin levels.

Dot points:

  • Natural light boosts serotonin, the feel-good hormone that stabilises mood and sets up your energy for the day

  • It also improves sleep at night by supporting melatonin production

  • Studies show morning light can reduce stress and improve focus in both adults and kids

How: Step outside with your morning tea, or open your blinds fully while you’re making breakfast.


3. Warm Lemon Water with a Pinch of Salt, Your Inner Hydration Boost


Start your hydration with purpose. A glass of warm water with lemon and a pinch of quality sea salt helps rehydrate your cells and kickstart digestion after sleep.

Dot points:

  • Lemon supports liver function and adds a gentle dose of vitamin C

  • Salt provides essential minerals and helps your body absorb the water better than plain water alone

  • Warm water is more soothing to the digestive system in the morning than cold water

How: Mix the juice of half a lemon and a small pinch of salt (like Himalayan or Celtic) into warm water. Sip slowly before breakfast.


These three micro-rituals are tiny time investments with powerful returns. They’re easy to integrate, cost next to nothing, and are backed by both traditional wisdom and modern science.
