Marma Therapy and Its Amazing Benefits

Stress, pain, and fatigue have become an everyday struggle in today’s fast-paced life. And Ayurveda has the best solution for it- Marma therapy. It works by stimulating special energy points in your body. These Marma points are like secret control centers that help balance your energy, improve circulation, and heal your body naturally. What Are Marma Points? Marma points are specific energy points in the body. You can think of these as ‘junctions’ where muscles, nerves, bones, joints and veins meet. There are 107 such junctions or Marma points described in Ayurveda which hold the vital energy in your body. When these points are blocked, pain, fatigue or even emotional distress may arise. But when they are properly stimulated, your energy (Prana) can flow freely balancing your body and mind. Every Marma point corresponds to specific organs and Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Hence, activating these points can cure many problem areas of your body. Pretty cool, right? Prana: The Life Energy Behind Marma Therapy In Ayurveda, Prana is everything. It is the life force that keeps us alive, moving and functioning properly. If your Prana is blocked, you feel sluggish, unhealthy and mentally clouded. But when it flows freely, you feel energetic, light and vibrant. Marma therapy removes these energy blockages and ensures that Prana is circulating properly. This is why people who receive Marma treatments feel instantly refreshed and full of life! The Science Behind Marma Therapy Now, you may be thinking — how is it possible to heal your body by just pressing certain points?Ayurveda has the right explanation for it. Stimulation of nerves There are two types of nerves in our body: sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerves act like an ‘action button,’ while parasympathetic nerves function as a ‘relax button.’ Parasympathetic nerves help the body relax, slow down, and heal. Any compression of these nerves can disrupt the body’s natural healing mechanism. Just like a good massage, applying gentle pressure to Marma points stimulates nerves, particularly those associated with the parasympathetic nervous system. This helps in: Reducing stress and anxiety Enhancing mental clarity Aiding the body’s self-healing process Therefore, if you are always stressed out, overthinking, and suffering from anxiety, Marma therapy can make you feel calm and composed. Energy Flow Balance According to Ayurveda, Prana or life energy is the force behind everything in our body. When Prana is flowing without any obstruction, we are healthy, full of life and balanced. But when there’s an energy blockage in a Marma point, we may feel tired, sick or emotionally stagnant. Marma therapy removes this energy blockage and balances the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) balance. This keeps your body and mind in balance. Improved Circulation The Marma points when pressed correctly enhance blood circulation. This means: Your tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients Quicker recovery from wounds Toxins are removed from the body The increased blood flow can provide enormous relief for people with arthritis, muscle stiffness, or chronic fatigue. Restoration of Vitality Do you feel depleted and exhausted, despite a full night’s sleep? If your answer is yes, it’s possible that your body’s energy or Prana isn’t flowing properly. Marma therapy improves the flow of energy in your body. As a result, you feel more energetic, refreshed and active. People who experience chronic stress, burnout, or physical exhaustion can benefit tremendously from just a couple of Marma Chikitsa sessions. No multivitamin and multimineral supplements are needed! How Marma Therapy Heals the Body and Mind Marma therapy doesn’t just work on the body—it also clears emotional blockages. Let’s take a look at how it benefits both: Physical healing Marma therapy helps with: Reducing pain (joint pain, muscle stiffness, headaches) Boosting the immune system Healing injuries faster Improving digestion and metabolism Unlike modern medicines, it doesn’t just mask symptoms, but addresses the root cause of the problem, helping the body heal naturally. Mental and emotional healing Our mind and body are deeply connected. When we suppress emotions like stress, anger or grief, it often manifests as pain in the body. Marma therapy releases these trapped emotions, making us feel lighter, calmer and more peaceful. It helps with: Reducing anxiety and overthinking Calming the nervous system Bringing emotional balance Many people feel an instant sense of peace after a Marma session like a heavy weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Key Marma Points and Their Benefits There are 107 Marma points, but here are three of the most powerful ones: Sthapani Marma (forehead point – between eyebrows) Improves focus and memory Reduces headaches and stress Clears mental fog Hridaya Marma (heart – center of chest) Balances emotions and reduces anxiety Supports heart health Improves circulation Nabhi Marma (navel point – center of belly) Enhances digestion and metabolism Boosts energy levels Strengthens immunity Stimulating these points regularly can lead to better health, clarity and inner peace. Healing Cervical Pain with Marma Therapy I once had a patient who works in an IT job and was suffering from stiffness and pain in the cervical (neck) area. The pain radiated down to his hands and fingertips. Why was the pain radiating? Your vertebrae (spinal bones) are aligned one on top of the other. And there are holes through which the nerves pass. If you are constantly having a bad posture, this alignment gets disturbed. Consequently, the nerves that are passing through these gaps get compressed. Wherever the nerve goes you will have pain. And the solution? No amount of internal medicine can fix this unless the alignment of the vertebrae is corrected. This is where Marma therapy works. Through techniques like traction and Marma stimulation, Ayurveda can restore… Continue reading Marma Therapy and Its Amazing Benefits

Ayurveda’s Take on Alcohol

For many, celebrations are incomplete without alcohol. But have you ever wondered what Ayurveda says about it? Interestingly, Ayurveda doesn’t completely forbid alcohol. Instead, it stresses moderation and mindful consumption. Is Alcohol Allowed in Ayurvedic Practices? Yes, there is mention of alcohol within the medicinal context in Ayurveda. Ayurvedic preparations like Draksharishta contain self-generated alcohol. These are made using natural fermentation techniques and contain healing herbs for health benefits. However, recreational use of this should be approached with caution. Effect of Alcohol on Doshas Pitta Dosha: Alcohol has heating, sharp and penetrating properties. Too much of it aggravates Pitta-related conditions like acidity, liver inflammation and skin rashes. Vata Dosha: Alcohol has a drying effect too, and this can aggravate Vata Dosha causing anxiety, restlessness, and digestive issues. Its drying nature can disturb mental clarity, cause dehydration, and can also lead to joint pain or bloating. Kapha Dosha: High indulgence can overburden Kapha Dosha, resulting in excess mucus secretion, lethargy, weight gain and sluggishness. To counterbalance these effects, Ayurveda emphasizes moderation and pairing with the right foods. Is Drinking Alcohol Allowed in Ayurvedic Diet? Alcohol is not forbidden in Ayurveda, but it is not advised as part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. If you drink, take the following into account: Do not drink on an empty stomach To calm Pitta, consume cooling and sweet foods the next day Drink twice the water to stay hydrated Ayurvedic Remedies for Alcohol Detoxification For the consumers, detox is a must for the negative effects to not take a toll on you. Ayurveda recommends: Dry fruits: To get rid of the hangover, soak some dry fruits the night before and eat them in the morning. Figs, dates or black raisins are great for reducing Pitta and fighting dehydration. Draksharishta: Consume 15 ml of this Ayurvedic tonic mixed with an equal amount of water after meals. It helps the health of the liver and digestion. Head massage: At my clinic, I prepare a night routine oil with pure sandalwood in it. Use this oil for a head massage followed by a cold shower. Alcohol and Digestive Fire (Agni) Ayurveda places great importance on Agni – the digestive fire. Alcohol, when consumed in large amounts can dampen your Agni, resulting in indigestion, flatulence and toxin build up (Ama). To support your Agni: Eat light, easily digestible meals after drinking Avoid mixing alcohol with fried or heavy foods Drink herbal teas with ginger or fennel to strengthen digestion. An Ayurvedic Perspective on Alcohol “Madhye tu matra gunatmanam, ati doshakaram nrunam.” [Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana Chapter 24, Verse 30] Translation: “Alcohol in moderation is beneficial, but in excess, it becomes harmful.” The key is Yukti – using appropriate judgment. As per Ayurvedic texts, alcohol can act as both nectar and poison. The impact depends on the dose, person and situation. It is, therefore, used in Ayurveda as a solvent in formulations like Asavas and Arishtas. These are herbal preparations created through natural fermentation and are used for specific ailments. Ayurveda sees alcohol addiction as an imbalance in the mind and body. Through detoxification treatments such as Panchakarma, both liver health and mental health can be restored. Too much alcohol disrupts the balance of Doshas, impairs Agni and causes a toxin build-up. Ayurveda emphasizes Madhyama Matra – the middle path of moderation. Small amounts of alcohol, consumed mindfully, may be acceptable, but overindulgence is harmful. Instead of the conventional alcoholic drinks, you can opt for Ayurvedic drinks such as Herbal Teas or Draksha Rasa (grape juice). They not only satisfy the palate but also provide nourishment and balance. Fermented drinks like Takra (buttermilk) and herbal infusions are better alternatives. These drinks are light on the system, assist in digestion and support Dosha balance. A Quick Reality Check So, before you raise a glass at your next gathering, remember that alcohol is not essential to celebration. Ayurveda inspires us to live a life with balance and mindfulness. If you decide to drink, do so responsibly, and always pair it with self-care practices to minimize harm. Or better yet, explore Ayurvedic alternatives that nourish both body and soul. Alcohol can be a part of life, but it doesn’t have to be the whole thing. Choose balance, moderation, and care for your body because health is the ultimate wealth!

ADHD: The Ayurvedic Perspective

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD, is increasingly becoming a topic of conversation in both medical and social circles. While the modern world labels it as a neurodevelopmental disorder requiring medications, Ayurveda views it through a different lens. Ayurveda has a simple definition to this condition – Vata imbalance. All symptoms of “ADHD” are a result of your Vata Dosha going off balance. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach involving diet, lifestyle practices and herbal medicines (if needed) to tackle Vata imbalance. What is ADHD or Vata Imbalance? ADHD symptoms often appear as early as between the ages of 3 and 6 and can persist into adulthood. Common symptoms include: Hyperactivity Impulsiveness Racing thoughts Easily distracted Difficulty focusing Irritability Short attention span Absent-mindedness Bored of consistent routines Poor time management Losing or misplacing things Interestingly, these traits align closely with the qualities of Vata Dosha in Ayurveda. Vata governs movement, both in the body and mind. When it’s imbalanced, the mind becomes restless, unfocused, and impulsive. Why Avoid Modern ADHD Medications? Medicines such as Adderall and Ritalin are commonly prescribed for ADHD. While these drugs may offer temporary relief, they often come with significant side effects like addiction, gut issues and even heart problems. Unfortunately, due to aggressive marketing by pharmaceutical companies, ADHD is now portrayed as a “serious disease” that requires medication. Most doctors overdiagnose ADHD due to this marketing pressure. But here’s a fact: ADHD symptoms exist on a spectrum and therefore, it is very difficult to and are often manageable through lifestyle interventions. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, balancing Vata through natural methods can bring remarkable improvements without harmful side effects. Ayurvedic Remedies for ADHD Managing a Vata mind is not about suppression but balance. Here are some Ayurvedic remedies and effective lifestyle tips: 1. Daily oil massages Daily oil massage, especially with organic black sesame oil, is a cornerstone of Vata management. Vata is dry You can do Abhyanga or self-oil massage on your whole body as a part of your daily routine and even a 5-minute foot massage before bed. It nourishes the body and calms the mind. Oiling the joints is particularly important. Learn how to do Abhyanga at home here: 2. Incorporate healthy fats into diet Adding good fats, like ghee, to your meal can reduce internal dryness and support digestion. They help nourish the body but also ground the mind. 3. Stay warm Cold aggravates Vata. So, avoid cold and long showers. Use warm water for bathing, and always keep your feet warm. Therefore, wear socks and, as a result, protect yourself from cold winds and air conditioning. 4. Avoid over-exertion Exercise is essential, but over-exertion can worsen Vata. Stick to light to moderate activities like yoga, which promote balance without exhausting your body. 5. Embrace grounding practices Vata is light and the opposite of light is heavy, meaning Earth. So, do earthing and grounding practices. Go outside and connect with nature. Walk barefoot on soil, grass and sand. But, do not walk on cold surfaces as it may aggravate Vata. Daily Lifestyle Tips for Vata Balance Living with a Vata mind doesn’t have to be a challenge. These lifestyle tips can help you: Organize your space: Start by cleaning your room or workspace.When the environment is clutter free, it helps the mind to focus. Plan your day: Write down a full day’s schedule before going to bed. Avoid fasting: Skipping meals can aggravate Vata. Eat regular, balanced meals. Connect with nature: Spend time outdoors, preferably barefoot in a park with greenery. Say no to stimulants: Avoid coffee, tea, and other stimulants that disturb the mind. Avoid cold foods: Stick to warm, freshly cooked meals. Cold and raw foods can imbalance Vata. Steam baths and saunas: Do this thrice a week to relax and ground yourself. Shift to yoga: If you’re into intense workouts, consider yoga for a more balanced routine. Avoid overexertion and honour your body’s need for rest. You Aren’t Alone. I Am Like You! Growing up with a Vata mind wasn’t easy for me. I’ve always had a short attention span, yet my focus, albeit brief, was razor-sharp. This allowed me to grasp concepts quickly and connect seemingly unrelated ideas to creative solutions. My impulsiveness? A double-edged sword—it made me seize opportunities, but it also led to challenges. Over time, I learned to channel my Vata energy into creative pursuits and balanced my lifestyle with Ayurveda. Today, I feel empowered, not hindered, by my Vata traits. I’ve always feared boredom, so I structure my day with a mix of activities – consultations, course preparation, overseeing medicine production, and creating content. For me, a Vata mind isn’t a weakness but a unique strength. Channeling the Vata Mind When people ask me how to “treat” a Vata mind, I laugh. You don’t need to treat it. You need to channel it. With the right balance of routines and lifestyle choices, a Vata mind can become your greatest asset. It’s about using its creativity and energy to your advantage. People with ADHD or Vata traits often excel in creativity; moreover, they demonstrate exceptional problem-solving skills and, they are quick learners. What’s important is effectively channeling this energy. By following Ayurvedic principles, you can transform your Vata mind into a powerful tool for innovation and success. So, if you or someone you know is popping pills for ADHD, think twice. Try these Ayurvedic tips. They’re simple, effective, and life-changing. And if you need more guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Let’s break free from the pharma-driven propaganda and embrace the natural, balanced life Ayurveda offers. Are you with me?

Lord Dhanvantari: The God of Ayurveda

According to Indian mythology, Lord Dhanvantari is the God of medicine and the God of Ayurveda. This divine physician is also thought to be the 13th avatar of Lord Vishnu. Lord Dhanvantari is often considered a symbol of health, healing, and longevity, not just in Ayurveda but also in the broader spiritual and cultural traditions of India. His teachings have been passed down through generations, influencing various aspects of both medical and spiritual practices. In this blog, let’s explore the legend of Lord Dhanvantari, his relevance in the field of Ayurveda, and how he shaped the path of healing and health. The Origin Story The story of Lord Dhanvantari originates in Hindu mythology, particularly the legend of Samudra Manthan or the churning of the ocean. According to the legend, Gods and demons churned the ocean of milk (Kshira Sagara) to get Amrita, the nectar of immortality. After a wearing trial period, Dhanvantari emerged from the sea, bringing with him the potion of immortality. In images, Lord Dhanvantari is often portrayed holding a conch in one hand and a pot full of Amrita in the second hand. His third hand has a book titled “Ayurveda,” and the fourth hand has medicinal herbs. The depiction of Lord Dhanvantari holding Amrita isn’t just a divine image. It is a symbol of Ayurveda’s power to sustain life and health. Ayurveda, when followed the right way, isn’t just about curing diseases, but about creating lasting well-being and balance. Therefore, Lord Dhanvantari’s role is not just to ensure physical well-being, but also the divine alignment of mind, body, and soul, which is the crux of Ayurvedic principles. This balance is vital in Ayurveda, as it integrates the mind, body, and spirit in a way that promotes overall harmony and vitality. Ayurveda doesn’t just treat symptoms; it works on the root causes to restore balance in the individual’s entire being. One can see his emergence from the Ksheersagar, the ocean of life, as a metaphor for revealing hidden knowledge related to medicine or healing. Lord Dhanvantari – God of Medicine and Ayurveda Many people believe that Lord Brahma was the first person to teach and propagate Ayurveda. However, Lord Dhanvantari is the one worshipped as the god of Ayurveda. Ayurveda pays attention to both treating illness and preventive health care through lifestyle, food, and natural remedies. Lord Dhanvantari’s teachings emphasize herbs, therapies, and surgical knowledge as tools for achieving optimal wellness. Lord Dhanvantari is known for bringing Ayurveda to the world, teaching the use of herbs, therapies, and surgical techniques for better health. His wisdom about healing and nature still guides Ayurvedic treatments today. Ayurvedic doctors often seek Lord Dhanvantari’s blessings before starting any auspicious works. Dhanvantari and the Vedas People revere Lord Dhanvantari for his divine knowledge of surgery, medicinal herbs, and the importance of a balanced lifestyle. Atharva Veda mentions his teachings through hymns and rituals associated with health and healing. These hymns often include prayers for long life, peace, and freedom from disease, which reflect the broader spiritual goals of Ayurveda in promoting holistic wellness. Many people think that Dhanvantari blesses many herbs and treatments used in Ayurveda. Dhanvantari — Patron of Ayurveda and Surgery One of the unique aspects of Lord Dhanvantari’s teachings is his focus on surgery. Sushruta Samhita – the classical text of Ayurveda authored by Acharya Sushruta talks about surgery in detail. People believe that Lord Dhanvantari reincarnated on earth as Divodasa – the king of Kashi. Divodasa Dhanvantari was the master of surgery. He passed the knowledge of surgery and Ayurveda to Acharya Sushruta. This included anatomy, use of surgical instruments, constructive operations such as removal of cataract, open heart surgery, brain surgery, and rhinoplasty. Benefits of Worshipping Lord Dhanvantari Since ancient times, people have been worshipping Dhanvantari for both physical and spiritual healing. Many perform Dhanvantari Puja invoking his blessings for good health, and energy, and to remain guarded against diseases. Every year, Dhanvantari Jayanti is celebrated on Dhanteras, two days before Diwali. On this auspicious day, Ayurvedic doctors and followers pray to Lord Dhanvantari. People also observe Dhanvantari Jayanti as International Ayurveda Day. The celebration of Dhanvantari Jayanti serves as a reminder to all of us about the importance of good health, proper nutrition, and lifestyle choices. It is a day to reflect on our own health practices and seek guidance from Ayurveda. Role of Lord Dhanvantari in New Age Wellness Modern-day Ayurveda heavily follows Sushruta Samhita authored by Acharya Sushruta. In Sushruta Samhita, people also refer to Dhanvantari as Divodasa and Kasi Raja. Today, as more people prefer natural treatments over medicine, the lessons and teachings of Lord Dhanvantari make even more sense. Here, his philosophy of using natural means to achieve balance links well with contemporary approaches to health and wellness that focus on holistic prevention, healthy eating, and mind-body balance. In an era where people are increasingly turning to organic, natural alternatives, Lord Dhanvantari’s teachings on sustainable and gentle healing practices resonate deeply. His wisdom is seen as a guide towards more conscious living. Lord Dhanvantari — The Eternal Healer Lord Dhanvantari’s profound knowledge of Ayurveda and healing arts is a source of inspiration for Ayurvedic doctors and those who follow Ayurveda. For those seeking divine guidance regarding health, Lord Dhanvantari stands as the eternal symbol of hope, healing, and longevity. Whether you follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle or just wish to live a healthier life, the teachings and insights from Lord Dhanvantari are relevant even today. His eternal teachings inspire a life where physical health, mental peace, and spiritual growth are balanced, making his influence timeless. Do you follow any Ayurvedic principles in your daily… Continue reading Lord Dhanvantari: The God of Ayurveda

Kapha Time is Here! Ayurveda’s Secrets for Staying Balanced

Changing seasons can have an effect on your Doshas. That’s why it is important to understand your Dosha imbalances with each season and find the best practices that would help you to adapt and be in good health despite the changes. Kapha season usually refers to late winter and spring. The season is typically cold, damp and stagnant. Known as Shishira Ritu in Ayurveda, this is the season where Kapha Dosha gains dominance and your Agni (digestive fire) is at its peak. Identifying Kapha Kapha people are most likely to have a compact big-boned structure. They have deep-set eyes and strong hair, and tend to gain weight. Excessive Dosha can manifest as chest and lung or nasal congestions. It can also cause digestive problems due to a sluggish gut. Emotional factors might create overeating & end up in gaining weight. Kapha’s imbalance is also associated with sadness and emotional turbulence. It tends to favour a lethargic sedentary lifestyle. Individuals who have heightened the Dosha are likely to suffer from diabetes, gallstones, hypertension, varicose veins and oedema. Symptoms of Kapha imbalance A Kapha imbalance is usually marked by the following symptoms: Lethargy Excessive sleepiness Nausea Constipation Indigestion Ayurvedic tips to balance kapha Ayurveda works on the principles of Doshas – Vata, Kapha and Pitta. While each of us has a unique proportion of each of the Doshas, a predominant Dosha tends to increase more quickly than the others. Kapha season tends to bring on the qualities and symptoms of excess stagnation. Its dominance is represented as a heavy sluggish tendency, it is characterized by heaviness and slow gait. An imbalance in this can lead to stubbornness. Trying out new routines or interests can stimulate a lethargic mind. As per Ayurveda, a healthy balance can be restored by following a lifestyle, food regimen, and exercise pattern. A vigorous self-massage with warm organic sesame oil is prescribed to invigorate the stagnant Kapha. Sesame oil abhyanga aids in balancing Kapha Dosha. Kapha season is when the dosha is dominant. It is characterized by slow movements and grounding qualities. Those people who are prone to it must keep their feet warm and protect their chests from cold breezes. Opt for warm food and steer clear of raw food as well as frozen foods and beverages. The consumption of bitter and astringent tastes has lowering effects on it. Waking up before sunrise can also be very beneficial to a Kapha personality. Do not sleep late into the day. An early start can help balance this dosha . A glass of warm water can help activate your bowels and cleanse your body as a persons tend to suffer from constipation. Clearing of the nasal passage will provide relief from the symptoms. Ayurvedic tips to welcome the Kapha season Keeping warm is intrinsic to handling the Kapha season. Avoid cold and damp places. Consume warm meals, warm teas, warm water and nuts. Add Tulsi or mint leaves to your tea to stimulate the digestive system. Consumption of warm beverages and sipping hot water throughout the day help in heating and detoxifying. Stay warm. Move out of cold damp spaces and choose warm dry places. Kapha season tends to bring lethargy. It might herald the onslaught of depressive and stagnant thoughts and feelings. Ensure that you engage and rev up your psychological well-being. Another often-noticed fallout of the Kapha season is the lack of energy. It can get exacerbated due to stress and inadequate sleep. Its combat imbalance, therefore, with good sleep hygiene, can significantly improve energy levels Activity is crucial for balancing the dosha. Yoga can help significantly during the Kapha season. You can balance Kapha by combining pranayama with yoga to ensure sufficient circulation and strengthen the respiratory system. Alternate nose breathing works wonders for its imbalance. You can also incorporate Surya Namaskar into your yoga routine. Activate your body during the mornings and evenings with yoga and daily walks. Consume seasonal fruits like oranges, pears and apples. However, avoid very sour fruits. Also, do not consume heavy fruits like coconut, bananas, and dates. Incorporate turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, and nutmeg as they can help generate heat. These spices will pacify and stimulate the digestive system. Correcting Kapha imbalance Ayurveda can help you manage Kapha imbalance with lifestyle modifications and the right diet. Your diet must neutralize its properties. Since it is light and cool, warm and dry foods can help restore the balance. Foods that are light and spiced can help curtail the tendency to overeat. Heavy foods, on the other hand, tend to burden the system and, consequently, worsen Kapha symptoms. Oily and pungent foods aggravate Kapha. Kapha tends to produce plenty of moist mucus and it is therefore recommended to eat dry foods with minimal ghee or oil. You can include grains, beans and seeds. Ayurveda does not recommend consuming buttermilk and milk products during its season. Kapha is often aggravated by milk products. However, you can consider adding yoghurt or ghee to your diet. The consumption of wheat must be reduced too. Avoid processed foods and refined sugar. Sweets might increase the lethargic feeling. Refined foods have hardly any fibre; therefore, they can aggravate it Ayurvedic Herbs to Combat Kapha Dosha Ayurvedic herbs that can support Kapha include Trikatu, Bibhitaki, and Arjuna. People use bibhitaki, a traditional herb, to treat throat infections and other ailments related to its imbalance. Its anti-oxidant properties relieve stress and improve gastrointestinal functioning. Turmeric has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It works, therefore, as a soothing agent on the digestive system and, in addition, prevents the growth of yeast and bacteria. Ginger provides relief from digestive issues and nausea. It works on diseases such as poor digestion and, furthermore, sinusitis. You can welcome the kapha season with simple lifestyle routines such as slowing… Continue reading Kapha Time is Here! Ayurveda’s Secrets for Staying Balanced
