ABHYANGA- CARE FROM AYURVEDA

Ayurveda has been so keen in describing the measures one has to follow to protect the health and prevent from the disease. Ayurveda scholars understood the concept of prevention since its origin. The classical texts describes the daily routine, seasonal routine, foods, property of food , the ethical and moral codes to be followed by a person for positive health.

Abhyanga

Abhyanga is one of the most popular term and process in Ayurveda. It is nothing but application of oil on body. Though it refers to the literal meaning, if we look in detail, the concept is a broader one. Abhyanga is the regular oil application externally to be practised daily for different benefits. The same has also been used as a therapeutic process for healing purpose.

We can use any oil for Abhyanga when used for daily use. Any oil means that any oil that suits the basic body constitution, the season, the age. Of course, I admit the specificity. What I meant is it need not to be a medicated oil. You can even use plane coconut oil, mustard oil, gingelly oil. etc.

When used as a therapeutic process, specific medicated oils can only be used according to the condition.

Abhyanga is really effective in reducing the ageing of skin, good for eyes and helps for sound sleep

DETOX TO STAY HEALTHY

Let's Detox to Stay Healthy..

Detoxification is nothing but removing toxins accumulated and cleansing the affected part. This is a general terminology that we can relate with anything around us. Wherever toxins are accumulated, this leads to an unfavourable environment to survive. 

Consider the natural environment around us. The earth, water and air, when gets toxified, makes the survival difficult. What will happen if we continue to interact with such a toxified, polluted system continuously? This interaction can be in the form of food we take, the air we breath in, the water we drink, the bad habits we develop (smoking/ drinking alcohol, drug abuse), the situation we expose to, the people we meet and interact, the job we do, the society we live, the stress we feel and so many such things. That is, even without being able to identify, our physical and emotional level of toxification is happening gradually, 

What are the ill effect of this toxins in us? 

There can be two impact. One is the immediate effect and the other one is the long lasting effects

1. Immediate effect: Due to the accumulation of the toxins and the changes happening in the body immune system and functional equilibrium, we develop some acute illnesses including gastric disorders, respiratory diseases, infections, pains which lasts for some days to couple of weeks. There may be repeated onsets too. The immediate effect is usually caused by the low level of toxin accumulation.

2. Long lasting effect: The continuous exposure to toxins will make some serious changes in the body. In the long run, the quantity of toxins accumulated in the body will be more and the natural elimination process will not be able to remove all these impurities and metabolic wastes from the body. This leads to accumulation of theses toxins more deep into the organs and tissues. This will hinder the normal metabolic activities creating a functional imbalance. This functional imbalance will start to manifest as small symptoms in the body including loss of appetite, hyper acidity digestive problems, overweight/ weight loss, lethargy, dyspnoea on exertion, joint pain, loss of sleep, irregular menstrual cycles, irritability, hormonal imbalances. Gradually this leads to developing Life Style Diseases.

What is the solution?

It is clear that the accumulation of toxins by different means lead to the functional imbalance in the body and will end up with some kind of health issues. Naturally the elimination of the accumulated toxins and prevention of further accumulation of toxins will help to regain the health and stay healthy.

How it is possible?

Eliminating the toxins is a natural cleansing process carried out by our body. The natural excretion methods (urine, stool & sweat) will help in this cleansing process. Sometimes this system may fail to function as required. Then we need to provide therapeutic assistance to carry out the effective detox.

Ayurveda for Detox 

Ayurveda is the only system of medicine that has a unique method of detoxifying the body system. This is a therapeutically assisted body purification method carried out through the natural body orifices. This is a five fold cleansing process. The therapeutic methods are designed in such a way that all the body systems and their functional imbalances must be corrected. And these Five Fold Detoxification methods are known as Panchakarma.

Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Nirooha & Anuvasana form the five components of Panchakarma.

How to Practice Detox?

The therapeutic detoxification is something to be carried out regularly. The average duration required for a complete detox varies from 03-04 weeks depending upon the person. It is recommended to carry out this annually once. And the process is carried out under the strict observation of a qualified Ayurveda Physician in a reputed Ayurveda Centre. Strict dietary and activity regime should be followed during this therapy and for equal number of days after the Panchakarma.
