Boost Your Iron Levels – 4 Tips in Ayurveda

Iron is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in the body’s overall health. It is crucial for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to our cells, as well as for maintaining energy levels and supporting the immune system. Low iron levels can lead to anemia, leaving you feeling tired and weak.    Iron deficiency occurs when your body does not have enough iron to meet its needs. This deficiency can arise from various factors, such as insufficient dietary intake, poor iron absorption, blood loss and certain medical conditions.     Boost Your Iron Levels in Ayurvedic Way     In Ayurveda, low haemoglobin levels is called Pandu. The literal meaning of Pandu in Sanskrit is pale whitish discolouration. Pandu is a disease caused due to vitiation of ‘Rakta Dhatu’ (blood tissue) in the body.   The best way to avoid the condition is to improve your iron levels. Here are some natural tips to boost your iron levels as per Caraka Samhita:       Amla    Incorporating a shot of amla or amla powder into your daily diet is extremely beneficial. Having a teaspoon of amla with ghee before lunch can help.         Dry ginger   Including dry ginger into your diet in one form or another can also help.         Black raisins   Consuming soaked black resins is an excellent way to get iron into your diet.           Draksharishta   You can find Draksharishta in almost any Ayurvedic store as another wonderful Ayurvedic formulation. Have 15 ml Draksharishta post dinner to improve your iron levels. However, it is not recommended if you have diabetes or digestive disorders.     Bonus tips   Here are some additional tips that may help: Reduce sour and salty foods Stay away from alcohol Exercise regularly Reduce Vidahi foods, like apple cider vinegar, potatoes, coffee, tomatoes, etc.   Iron is vital for your well-being.

Licorice aka mulethi – Why do I like to talk about it ?

Licorice, the remarkable herb holds such a special place in my heart, and that’s why it is a topic I can’t stop talking about.   I’ve been starting my mornings with herbal teas that I make myself for the past five years. I enjoy licorice tea the most, and it has been extremely beneficial to me. It is also an excellent substitute for coffee in the morning.   The herb licorice has a history that stretches back through the ages, celebrated in cultures worldwide for its medicinal powers and cultural significance.   Delving into the scientific aspects of licorice enhances my appreciation for this wonder herb. Glycyrrhizin, the active compound in the herb, holds the key to many of its health benefits.   Licorice helps to..   Improve digestion Improve vitality (Ojus) Slow down aging Great for skin and hair   Whole roots are always preferable to licorice root powder when making this drink!   Reduce 2 glasses of water to 1 glass by adding 1 inch of licorice root. This is the best thing to drink first thing in the morning (in any season) for your skin, hair, digestion, and overall health.   However, do not take it if you have high blood pressure or a family history of high blood pressure. Also, only take it for a maximum of three months at a time.   The next time you hear me talking about licorice, know that it’s not just about the flavour—it’s a tale of nature’s magic, wellness, and the joy of embracing nature’s sweetest gift!         You can join our Health Programs for mind and body detox.
