Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Being an ancient art of healing, it offers insurmountable benefits to human beings. Here are a few effective tips for a healthy and happy life suggested by Ayurveda.
- Try scheduling a long walk with a co-worker or a friend. Walking is considered as a tridoshic exercise by Ayurveda, as it balances the three doshas of the body. Walking nourishes the senses and calms the mind.
- Always create a fresh lunch for yourself. Canned, frozen, processed, or packaged food are much harder to be processed by the body, and thus create toxins in the body.
- Keep on sipping water throughout the day. Water is known to flush out toxins from the body and allows for a smooth digestion. When water is sipped several times in a day, it acts as an excellent healer.
- Have a glass of milk at the end of a long day. If you are unable to sleep due to a long and tiring day, don’t worry, the solution is simple: have some warm milk. Make sure that the Milk is organic with no additives. Boil the milk with a pinch of cardamom and drink it. Do not drink milk just after having meals.
- Try meditation. It will help you disconnect from the unnecessary things and help get aligned with your own self.
- Sip herbal tea. Caffeine free, all natural teas prepared from herbs serve as a perfect way to recharge and relax.
- Try massaging your body. Our skin craves for our touch and attention. When warm and herbal oil is gently rubbed over the skin, our body and mind feels relaxed and pampered.
- Call that friend that makes you always happy. If you hang out with people who make us feel happy then they act like medicine. They heal and restore us in amazing ways.
- Create your own skincare pack. You should choose natural products for your skin.
- Be mindful of your breathing pattern. Deep breaths are vital for our body and provide an instant sense of relief to the body.
- Try going to the bed early. The value of good sleep cannot be written in words.
- Try rising with the sun. Getting up early gives you enough time to concentrate on your morning routines.
- Have a well-balanced breakfast. Skipping breakfast is known to particularly irritate Sadhaka Pitta (A subdosha of Pitta).
- Provide the much needed care to your hair. Tackle the problem by observing the food that you eat.
- Detoxify. Try following an ama-reducing diet from time to time.
- Celebrate each meal by decorating your dining table. A pleasant table promotes good digestion.
- Supercharge your immunity with Amrit. Amrit is made using thirty-eight rare whole fruits and herbs that are combined in set proportions to create a potent powder.
- Spice up your regular dinner: Cumin, coriander, turmeric, fennel, cardamom — spices like these when used in cooking not only adds aroma and flavour to the food, but also add healing properties to your food.
- Try bonding with nature. Spend some time with nature.
- See a Vaidya whenever you have a doubt.
