3 Benefits of Ayurveda

Every human is characterized by the mind-body type. In Ayurveda, these primary qualities that govern the body are called “doshas.”

Ayurveda brings health and keeping the doshas in balance. Overall, it aims at holistically maintaining and improving general health no matter what age you are.

1. Weight Loss and Maintenance

A healthy diet and modification in lifestyle habits through Ayurvedic treatments help shed excess body fat. In Ayurveda, weight is not a major concern but eating habits are. By allowing the body to detox through correct dietary restrictions, it is possible to achieve a toned body.

Consult a practitioner to determine the best diet that will suit your nutritional needs and work with your dosha type. 

2. Healthy and Glowing Skin and Hair

Need a perfect glow and shiny hair? Ayurveda claims that you can ditch the expensive clinical treatments and go for the organic and natural ways to achieve a glow without spending too much money. A balanced meal, toning exercises, and Ayurvedic supplements are enough to promote healthy skin and scalp.

General dietary guidelines in Ayurveda focus on the consumption of fresh food taking into account your dosha type, medical history, regional produce, customs, and traditions.

The focus is more on high-antioxidant foods, herbs, teas, vegetables, protein, and healthy fats.

3. Say Goodbye to Stress

With a fast-paced lifestyle that leaves no scope for rejuvenation or relaxation, Ayurveda guarantees a reduction in stress and anxiety. Regular practice of yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, massages, and herbal treatments allow the body to calm down, detoxify, and rejuvenate.

Yoga improves the autonomic nervous system making your mind alert, so you can focus well and stay energized throughout the day.

Breathing exercises keep infections at bay and allow abundant oxygen supply to the cells to create a sense of awareness. Depression and anxiety can be treated with Shirodhara, Abhyangam, Shiroabhyangam, and Padabhyangam.
