The Benefits of Ayurveda on Our Overall Wellness


The Benefits of Ayurveda on Our Overall Wellness

The popular and ancient practice of Ayurveda quite literally means the science of life. To elaborate in laymen’s terms; it dwells in the holistic wellness of our mind and body alike. It’s principals dictate precisely how the mind and body are inextricably connected, and how disturbing the balance between the two can end up having dire consequences on the persistence of the joy and wellness we crave in our ephemeral lives.

Ayurveda today is popular worldwide for its ability to cure illnesses and enhancing the overall quality of life among individuals coming from all walks of life.  Many still misunderstand it, rejecting it’s evident benefits as nothing but voodoo. However, it’s ability to promote overall wellness by weeding out the root cause of illness is a stuff of legends that not even the most cynical of its critics can deny.

What Ayurveda Teaches Us

The core study of Ayurveda claims that all human bodies are characterized by mind-body qualities that control the body. These primary qualities are what we call doshas in Ayurveda. 

There are three salient forms of dosha in Ayurveda, they are  vata, pitta and kapha. According to Ayurveda, wholesome wellness can only be accomplished when these doshas are in perfect harmony with each other. So this very principal makes Ayurveda the practice of bringing the doshas in balance.

To understand your mind-type dosha, you can opt to fill out a quick questionnaire customised by our experts in Ayurveda, available on our website now.

In this article, we shall dwell into some of the benefits that Ayurveda has in store for us.

Healthy diet for Weight Loss

Body Cleansing or Panchakarma

Panchakarma is a very integral part of Ayurveda. It  deals with the practice of eliminating body toxins from the body with the help of oil massages, purgation, and oral administration. Panchakarma ultimately aims at providing it’s subject with a cleansed body that eliminates toxins and unwanted food that interferes with the efficient functioning of your body.

Proper Rest

Many find ourselves lost in the hustle of life. So much so that we don’t even allow ourselves the luxury of proper sleep. This can have adverse long lasting effects on our wellness.
