Health Benefits of Ayurveda
Most of us know health benefits of Yoga but Ayurveda’s benefits you are not aware, let us discuss here:
1. Ayurveda is an ancient alternative medicine science that takes an approach of prevention of dis-ease (dieseas) at first place. On the other side, it a holistic approach for helping manage various diseases. While modern medicine may often give quick relief by eliminating just the visible symptoms, Ayurveda reaches the root of the disease and tries to manage, control or improve the condition and reduce any side effects of modern medicine.
2. A study has shown that poor eating habits and lifestyle as the leading cause of deaths in America, even more than those caused by smoking. Yes, smokers are at a lower risk of losing their lives than people with poor eating habits and an unhealthy lifestyle. Ayurveda is a boon that can help improve our lifestyle and shift to a healthy eating habits.
As Yoga and Ayurveda both together improve our overall physical and emotional health, daily practice of this science also enhance our metabolism, immunity and helps us to reduce stress, and improve the quality of life.
3. In Ayurveda, we have different herbs which helps us remove toxins in our bodies and keeps our digestive system in happy state. Some therapies involves oil massage, steaming and intake of ghee etc. Panchakarma therapy helps eliminate these toxins and rejuvenate the body through five treatments.
Here is a quote- “WE ARE WHAT WE EAT” holds all the weight here. As our eating habits largely
determine our mental and physical health, Ayurveda encourages us to have a balanced diet and introduce daily morning routine in daily life. For more information on Ayurvedic eating habits or for a customized diet plan, it’d be best to schedule a consultation with me.
YOGA- SPIRITUAL SIDE OF AYURVEDA
Yoga is the ancient Indian science to calm down all the vritti in our mind and brings us psychological healings. It heals all mental and emotional imbalances and takes us on a journey of enlightenment. Yoga is not a set of asanas; it is more than that. It teaches us all yamas, niyamas and once we start living YOGA, then our ego subdues. It helps us to get to know our true selves and reach the spiritual path.
Both yoga and Ayurveda have based on principles of 5 elements – panchamahabuthas and sattva, rajas, and tamasggunas. Ayurveda and yoga consider how the body works like tissues, prana, digestion, and elimination, and connect to the effects of food and herbs on the body and mind.
It is very interesting to see how Ayurveda and yoga are interrelated and complete each other. In other words, Ayurveda and Yoga are one science that aims to bring harmony in our physical and emotional state of health. Staying healthy is vital for us to fulfill four aims of life: dharma, artha, kama, and moksha.
