With the cosmic development in the space of science and medicine, there are advanced surgical methods and instant remedies for addressing human illness. In this digital epoch, it may sound silly to talk about the age old method of healing named Ayurveda, with the use of medicinal plants, Ayurvedic essential oils, minerals, fats and extracts from animals. You may even feel like travelling on a handcart besides the presence of millions of advanced means of transport when someone says that Ayurveda treatment is the best approach to holistic healing. If you are uttering a concrete ‘YES’ to the above statements them I’m sorry to say that you are on the wrong side of the coin.

Ayurveda treatment is the mother of all healing sciences in the world and has an oldest history of about 5000 years. Anything right from a minor headache till the chronic cancer has natural remedies in Ayurvedic treatment. The exact meaning for the word Ayurveda stands as ‘knowledge of life’. This tranquil approach of curing aims at treating the person’s physical and mental health and not the actual ailment that has put him off. By doing this, Ayurveda helps to unearth the actual root cause of the problem and assist you in treating the sickness as well as prevent it from occurring again. According to Ayurveda, an individual is a unification of the mind, the spirit and the physical body. With this hard-hitting principle underlying, this natural therapeutic science trusts the whole body, psyche and the inner spirit to be treated together instead of treating the bodily disease alone.

The real effects of this remedial practice have been proved evidently with its uncompromising conquest and the chain progression even after thousands of challenging years with new-fangled remedial means. The theory of Ayurveda emphasizes on three important things namely raising a hale and hearty metabolism, resulting in apposite digestion, ultimately supported by a good excretory system for a happy life in the pink. It also encourages people in involving themselves in meditation, regular exercises and rejuvenating yoga practices for a complete living.

Swallowing pills for each and every sickness can only pretend to be the right remedy but temporarily. If this state continues, unfortunately the quantity of medicines you consume per day will be greater the amount of food you ingest. With Ayurveda treatment, most of the health conditions have been addressed with a single medication as your medicines are decided only after scrutinizing your corporeal, emotional, environmental, intellectual, social, spiritual and nutritional aspects that form a part of your daily routine. Say for example, you may suffer with sleepless nights and feel sick and dozy with distressing pain in the body and experiencing total depression due to your stressful and hectic schedule. If you are to take prescription medicines for all these conditions, then trust me you will be forced to take at least 4 different medicines for insomnia, depression, body pain and tiredness but if you choose Ayurveda, a soothing massage with the calming lavender essential oil can wholly wipe away your illness and help you regain your health with a new life in it.

Yes! This is the kind of magic and ultimate relief that Ayurveda treatment can proffer you and that is why it is rightly called as a holistic way of healing mankind.

7 Quick Ways In Which Ayurveda Can Help You Maintain Healthy Relationships

Posted on by

Human being is an exotic piece of art crafted by the Creator. The Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore rightly said that ‘Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man’. Nothing in the world has the power that a caring mother’s hands can express. Though today’s rapid living witnesses plentiful violent behaviors and brutality across the globe, the sole thing that moves and keeps moving mankind is the healthy and hearty relationships she/he holds.

A Mom is special but nothing less a Father is,

While Brother is a blessing,

A Sister is your life’s spring,

Partner of your life is an incredible part of your life,

Your Kid becomes the reason for your living,

And forever a flawless Friend is always fulfilling.

Nothing can hurt our lives as bad as a break of a relationship be it with any of your near and dear ones. Will you be surprised if I say Ayurveda, the holistic science of healing has remedies even for maintaining healthy relationships? Sounds splendid and it was completely moving and heartening for me as well. Here are the 7 quick ways in which Ayurveda can help you maintain healthy relationships.

  1. Smile together: Smile is a wonderful remedy that can help you to put an end to your worries and has the power to spread faster than your anger. This noble thought of the ancient healing Ayurvedic science is reiterated by many and one among them is the renowned Psychiatrist William F. Fry, MD, associate professor at Stanford University and the father of the science of laughter, Gelotology says, “When you laugh, your body responds,” he explains. “You flex, then relax 15 facial muscles plus dozens of others all over your body. Your pulse and respiration increase briefly, oxygenating your blood. And your brain experiences a decrease in pain production due to the creation of pleasure-giving endorphins.” Happiness gets multiplied when you share it and gives a real opportunity to reveal your original beauty with your near ones.
  2. Eat right to live bright: Ayurveda always insists on eating right for living right and bright as well. Let your routine diet be a balanced one with a mix and match of food items with essential nutrients. Only when you supplement your body with healthy food, you can expect your body to complement you with a hale and hearty life.
  3. Work out regularly: Physical exercises are indeed a part of Ayurvedic treatment. Regular work outs that suit your Ayurvedic body type, age and energy level can augment your life style and improve the quality of living. Ayurveda does not force you to take up heavy exercises in the gyms or other fitness centers but practice simple exercises on a regular basis.
  4. Give what you love to get: I love to share my favorite adage here which says, ‘What you keep to yourself, you lose. What you give away, you keep forever’. This is the essence of life and that is why Ayurveda insists on giving those things that you love to get from others, be it your love or smile or other eternal possessions.
  5. Meditation is a must: Meditation is the best way through which you can breathe the air of confidence and liberty. Ayurvedic therapy strongly suggests meditating daily for few minutes as this quality time for yourselves will help you know who you are, make you realize where you are and aid you in understanding the distance towards your ultimate goals. Totally put together, systematic meditation in an Ayurvedic way of living will certainly pave way for self-realization and avoid unnecessary traumas that end up in relationship collapses.
  6. Enhance your immunity: Ayurvedic approach of healing focuses on treating your illness initially and fortify your immune system to prevent such poor health conditions in the future. This helps you to go on a long way in enriching your relationships and achieving your ambitions without any pitfalls.
  7. Peaceful sleep: With all the above mentioned Ayurvedic tips, a peaceful sleep can never be away from you. Enjoy the peace and pleasure of sleeping together with your loved ones and waking up for a fresh day to greet and glow your dreams. Early to bed and early to rise, according to Ayurveda is the profound secret to success.

Ayurveda always has something for everyone and try exploring your psycho-emotional set up with this antique science in strengthening your relationships. Discover the joy of being together with your near ones and each and every step you take towards your life matters. Even a simple, caring and caressing massage with Ayurvedic essential oils can express your unconditional love in a matter of minutes. Keep smiling and living every minute of your life by maintaining healthy relationships with the absolute support of Ayurveda.

This treatment varies with an individual’s unique constitution.
