How ayurveda can help reduce screen fatigue

How ayurveda can help reduce screen fatigue
For most people over the last two years, days are spent shuffling between the table and bed, typing away on laptops or phone screens. The pandemic has brought with it many major lifestyle shifts, but one of the most jarring ones has to be the shift to a digital lifestyle. Computers and phones have a purpose in times of isolation, they have been proven to help work through a pandemic – but finding a balance is a necessity. Schools have shifted to online classes and in-person brainstorming sessions have become Zoom meetings. Connecting with loved ones has turned into virtual interactions and most social interactions take place behind a screen.

Since COVID has begun, exposure to screen time has only increased around the world. A study published by WHO links a decline in sleep quality, neck pain, headaches, high blood pressure to increased screen time. Another study has found links between poor mental health and a rise in anxiety and depression with an increase in screen time. Ayurveda teaches living in harmony and with the seasons and the natural flow of every day. This innate rhythm is disrupted by technology.

People around the world have spent the pandemic locked in their homes, doom-scrolling through Instagram, juggling work-from-home emails and binging on streaming sites – and most have felt its consequences. The nagging pain at the back of our eyes, a dull headache, sensitivity to light and difficulty concentrating. Fatigue and exhaustion from screens is real and it manifests itself both mentally and physically. Technology naturally stimulates the Vata Dosha (Vata manages all the movement in our Mind and Body). When Vata is out of balance, we can feel ungrounded and too much screen time tends to make this feeling worse. As we shift into this digital reality – screen time is here to stay.

So, here are some things one can do to combat that tiredness and practice some much needed digital self care.

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule – Akshi Tarpana (that translates to eye rejuvenation) or soothing the eyes is a part of dinacharya. When working on a computer, remembering to take a break every twenty minutes is a great first step. It almost sounds redundant to say this but everyone forgets to take a break. When one looks at computer screens, they tend to blink 66% less than average. Rest your eyes by looking at an object twenty feet away for twenty seconds and give your eyes a chance to relax. Whatever you’re working on, will always be there when you get back from your break.

Meditate – One of the best ways to cope with digital fatigue is Sattva Vijaya (increasing the quality of clarity). To increase Sattva we can exercise, eat nourishing food, practice breathwork and meditation. A moment of quiet self-awareness can set the tone for the rest of the day. Meditation provides the much needed downtime our brains need to recuperate and be mindful.
Set digital boundaries – Healthy boundaries between our personal and professional spaces have always been important, but with work-from-home it is important for us to separate our workspaces and screen spaces from the spaces in our homes we use to unwind and rest. This helps us balance our Vata in our everyday life.

Connect with nature – Nature helps us soothe our senses, cures Vata imbalances and is grounding. Going on regular walks and connecting with nature supports calm and stable energies, proper digestion and gives the balance we need to manage challenging tasks. Schedule 15-30 minute walks without any screens to practice a physical and mental detox.

Just including these small changes as part of one’s daily lifestyle can provide a lot of relief from the constant screen time that has worked into our lives. Some other basic things to keep in mind are staying hydrated, eating healthy and remembering that prevention is better than the cure. Even if fatigue isn’t felt in the body, practicing and cultivating these values have a great impact in the long run.

Self regulating and actively engaging with computers instead of passively absorbing what is on the screen, practicing mindfulness and healthy digital habits as well as actively connecting with friends, family and peers beyond laptop screens are all healthy boundaries one needs to set for themselves – so we can lead our best lives and be our best selves in these uncertain times.

Brahmi a wonder herb of Aurveda

Brahmi, a wonder herb of Ayurveda 

“The essence of all beings is Earth. The essence of Earth is Water. The essence of Water is plants. The essence of plants is the human being”

You’ve probably seen Brahmi or Bacopa monnieri in its fresh, organic form if you’ve ever walked through the marshlands. This wet-loving, creeping, blooming herb native to the Americas, India, Africa, and the majority of the rest of the world has an important therapeutic role in Ayurveda.

Brahmi is an aquatic creeping perennial plant that is frequently used to adorn fish tanks, although it may be utilized for much more than that. It has a major impact on cognitive function.

Stress manifests itself in a variety of ways, and so do the methods for dealing with it. Brahmi, in conjunction with other herbs, is used to treat mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, dementia, and ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). This plant is also used to treat inflammatory disorders such as arthritis and ulcers.

Our body, according to ancient Vedic medical practitioners, is made up of physical and spiritual, visible and intangible aspects. Brahmi gets down to the heart of the matter, affecting the most essential component of your being. Brahmi has been regarded as the top contender medicinal plant in the realm of Ayurveda since the time of the Vedas.

Brahmi, which means “godlike” in reference to its excellent reputation for sustaining lifespan and mental vitality, is regarded as potent brain food and is suggested as a cognitive rejuvenator in the Ayurvedic tradition. It’s a popular herb among individuals looking to strengthen and deepen their practice of meditation. Ayurvedic practitioners believe that Brahmi can help with understanding, focus, and remembrance.

Brahmi is typically regarded as safe to combine with other drugs and supplements, and it is most effective after eight to twelve weeks of constant usage. With its long list of advantages, this is one plant that is well worth the wait.

This potent herb may be utilized in a variety of forms, including powder, juice, oils, and pills, but remember to find out the proper dose. Before using Brahmi in your wellness routine, always see an Ayurvedic Doctor.

Healing role of Ayurveda in treating Cancer

Healing role of Ayurveda in treating Cancer

Cancer

a mere mention of the word makes people shudder and experience a “chill run down their spine”; for it is not something minor. Cancer is a disease that keeps many in prayers and a few more hopes high! While many have succumbed to this disease, there are people who have survived the trauma, with their family’s support. The trends in cancer treatments have changed; from not knowing the diagnosis to identifying medicines to radio and chemotherapy, and alternative medicines playing their roles, the trends have changed. While specialists suggest medication and therapy as treatments for cancer, there are many who have emerged successfully from the battle with alternative treatments such as Ayurveda. Before knowing about what Ayurveda could do, it is important to get a better understanding of cancer.

As per WHO’s (World Health Organization) reports, cancer is a disease in which some cells grow without control and spread to other parts of the body. Through cell division, human cells grow and multiply, biologically. Sometimes, this chain breaks and changes with abnormal cell growth, which generally form as tumors. The nature of the tumor may or may not be cancerous.

While normal cells grow as and when they receive signals, cancer cells grow in the absence of these signals, marking it different from normal cells. Also, normal cells do not move around, i.e, normal cells stop growing when they encounter other cells. Since cancer cells multiply, they are capable of being hidden from the immune system, hence avoiding damage.

So, how does one get cancer?

While there is no one particular cause for cancer technically, rather, researchers believe the cause to be a combination of genetic, environmental, causes, and constitutional characteristics of an individual. Most often, adults are diagnosed with cancer due to their repetitive exposures such as tobacco use, consumption of alcohol, and/or exposure to toxic chemicals; while in other adults and children, genetics play a vital role as the cause.

As the types of cancer are varied, the diagnosis of cancer is classified into two – primary and secondary. Primary cancer is diagnosed based on the origin of the cancer cells; for instance, the cancer cells originate in the lungs, the diagnosis would go by the same name. When the cells spread to another organ, they would still go by the same name and become secondary cancer, and staging in cancer determines the spread and severity of cancer.

How can Ayurveda help in not falling prey to Cancer?

Role of Ayurveda in Treating Cancer

Ayurveda advises us to live according to our constitution, daily and seasonal rhythm, and every once in a while undergoing a Pancha Karma treatment – to prevent or restore the imbalance of Doshas and Dhatus – and a number of conditions can be relieved at an early stage. Ayurveda doctors urge their patients to have more Sattvic foods to balance both body and mind, respectively Doshas and Gunas. Sattvic foods consist of fresh, energizing foods such as fresh fruits and (leafy) vegetables, milk, cereals, pure fruit juices, butter and fresh cheese, fresh nuts, seeds, sprouts, honey, and herbal teas.

How to treat cancer?

The medical field and team are adapting to the dynamics in treating cancer; recent studies have thrown some light to alternative medicine, specifically Ayurveda. Ayurveda, one of the most ancient techniques of treatment, works around identifying the root of a diagnosis using multiple techniques. The core belief in Ayurveda revolves around balancing the body, mind, and spirit for the longevity of life; and ayurvedic medicines include specific diets, herbal medicines, yoga, meditation, and many more. Ayurvedic practitioners believe the combination of nature’s elements increases energy, wellness, along with the prevention of disease.

Apart from the accepted medication process such as surgery and chemotherapy, Ayurveda has also proved to be effective in countries that face difficulty in accessing treatments. A study has shown that Ayurveda has proved to be a wanted treatment methodology among patients hailing from varied economic groups; this treatment method has not only eased their financial burden, it has also eased their psychological burden when compared to opting for surgery.

Various hospitals across the nation are collaborating with institutes focusing on alternative medicine to treat cancer. Experts and therapists prepare modules based on the patients’ diagnoses and are under observation – to understand if yoga helps to improve the quality of life among cancer patients; and, has proven to be less traumatic among patients.

Why is Ayurveda most opted for in recent years?

Ayurveda does not follow aggressive practices in treatment, which marks it different from Western medication. Since the herbs support the purification process, they can determine subtle or major disturbances at an early stage.

Ayurveda advises to live according to the individual’s constitution, as a way to prevent imbalances; following so, many conditions are identified and treated at the early stages. Practicing yoga and meditation improves the stability of the body and the mind; and maintaining a strict diet of having healthy food (more fruits and vegetables, avoiding oil/junk, and so on), has proven to be beneficial for the body, thus reducing the risk of cancer or any other illness.

Asthma – Thamaka Swasa

by | Dec 25, 2021 | Ayurveda

Asthma – Thamaka Swasa

Tips to boost immunity against Asthma – the most common winter problem

Ayurveda gives tips to boost immunity against asthma. Ayurveda doesn’t only focus on physical entities of life but is a wholesome source of knowledge dealing with the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual construct of life. Therefore it is the most rational and scientific knowledge which aims at treating the disorders of distressed/diseased as well as promoting the health of a healthy individual.

With this regard, Ayurveda has certain basic concepts which when followed rightly protect and nourish body and mind. This includes the conduct and pursuits of life derived from the five elements of nature- the Panchamahabhuta. The routine and regimen are based upon the natural factors mentioned under the context of Dinacharya (the daily regimen) and Rtucharya (the seasonal regimen) in the treatise Ashtanga Sangraham / Ashtanga Hridayam written by Vagbhata Acharya. The manifestation of diseases depends upon the external environmental factors when it is not in sync with the internal components of the body. Therefore, following a seasonally conducive regime plays an important role in the context of health.

How Seasons Define the Functioning of Our Body?

Let us understand the connection between seasons and the functioning of our body; We need to look into the structuring of the year according to Ayurveda. The 12 months of a year are classified under 6 Ritu (seasons), with two Māsa (Months) under one Ritu. The whole year is divided into two parts with 3 Ritu for each.

The 3 consecutive seasons of SiShira, Vasanta, GrìSma (January till July) comprise “UttaraayaNa” – the period when Sun is traversing to the north of equator, though it is the equatorial inclination of the earth, let us just assume that the sun “travels” for simpler understanding as we can see the directional reference. This period is called “AdānaKāla i.e. period of extraction/taking away strength.

The seasons of VarSha, Sarad, Hēmanta (July to January) comprise Dakshinayana – sun traversing to the south of the equator. This period is called VisargaKāla i.e period of discharge, it gives back strength and vitality.

The basis for health is Hita Bhuk, Mita Bhuk, Ritu Bhuk- which is to eat mindfully which is conducive, only what is needed and what is “SEASONAL”.

In order to maintain health, following the nutrition & regime as per season is important. It is interesting that in Ayurveda diseases are treated considering all these factors attributing to the seasonal regime.

Every season has important characteristics and specific regime to be followed. One of the most common problems faced by many during colder months, is the difficulty in breathing which is explained in terms of Bronchial Asthma. This is commonly seen in colder months due to accumulation of Cold in the body in addition to the colder temperature and weather externally.

What is the root cause of Asthma – learn from Ayurveda?

According to Ayurveda, Asthma which is termed as Tamaka Swasa is caused due to imbalanced Kapha, which is usually associated with discomfort in breathing and problems related to respiratory organs.

The underlying cause of all asthmatic conditions is increased Kapha dosha in the stomach. From there it moves into the lungs, trachea and bronchi. The increased kapha blocks the natural flow of air, creating spasm in the bronchial tree and resulting in asthma and wheezing.

Environmental and lifestyle factors also play a role in asthma. Consuming cold or stale foods are not easy to digest and lead to the formation of ama (mucus) thereby causing blockage in the respiratory channel and difficulty in breathing. Living in a cold and damp environment is also a reason for asthma.

What happens during an Asthma Attack?

If an asthma attack is not controlled in time, it can leave a person breathless. In simpler words, an attack could be triggered due to allergic reactions to irritants, or some other triggers or stimuli like dust, smoke, fumes or chemical allergens like pollen or grass. This causes imbalance in Doshas in various levels leading to difficulty in breathing and other symptoms. The typical characteristics of Kapha, Pitta Dosha causes symptoms like wheezing, coughing, fever and irritability. Asthma caused by Vata Dosha can be acknowledged by wheezing, dry mouth, thirst, dry cough, dry skin, anxiety and constipation.

Ayurvedic practitioners also focus on diet, exercise, and deep breathing techniques to help reduce asthma symptoms.

Herbs like vasa, pushkarmula and yastimadhu have been known to control the symptoms of asthma. These herbs may have antihistamine, bronchodilating, and anti-asthmatic properties.

The general line of treatment includes treating the symptoms and ease the respiration followed by balancing the doshas (elemental imbalance of our individual body).

The following formulations are beneficial in treating Asthma but to be strictly followed under professional advice from an Ayurvedic Practitioner.

  • Swasari Vati
  • Tulasi
  • Vasaavaleha
  • Sitopaladi Churna
  • Abraka Bhasma
  • Yashtimadhu Churna

Few home remedies and combinations that help mild Asthmatic conditions.

Ginger helps to deal with inflammation. Half cup of ginger tea mixed with 2-3 crushed garlic cloves is effective to release the kapha accumulation in the airways, thereby preventing asthmatic attacks.

“Mix one teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4th teaspoon trikatu (trikatu is a combination of three (tri) spices or herbs that are hot (katu). It is a blend of equal parts of Pippali or long pepper, black pepper and dry ginger ) into a cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 10 minutes and add 1 teaspoon of honey before drinking,” suggests Dr. Vasant Lad in his book on Ayurvedic remedies.

Golden milk or Turmeric milk with a pinch of cardamom helps reduce tightness in chest.

Licorice has anti inflammatory properties. Licorice tea helps in reducing pain in the throat and inflammation.

Half teaspoon of bay leaf and 1/4th teaspoon of pippali/long pepper mixed with 1 teaspoon of honey soothes the respiratory tract and is useful in chronic Asthmatic conditions.

Pepper Ginger Honey combination is a very well-known home remedy for respiratory symptoms.

YashtiMadhu/ Licorice is said to help enormously in various symptoms of Asthma. Yashti Madhu consumed as Khada/ Tea helps relieve inflammation. It can also be administered with pepper and Rock sugar. Sometimes it causes vomiting but it is a progressive indication of expulsion of Phlegm. Thereby Yashti Madhu acts in various ways in treating Asthma.

These are the self-awareness in terms of lifestyle that one needs to follow in
case of Asthma both as preventive as well as line of treatment:

  • Pulses like rice, wheat, barley, beans should be consumed regularly.
  • Avoid exposure to indoor and outdoor pollution, cigarette smoke, and allergens.
  • Add Honey to your drinks and teas (should be lukewarm not hot).
  • Nuts and dry fruits can be taken in moderate amount.
  • Eat foods rich in antioxidants.
  • Heavy foods like milk, cheese, curd, buttermilk and banana should be avoided.
  • Oily, greasy and fried foods should be avoided.
  • Try to avoid the cold and refrigerated foods and drinks.
  • Avoid excessive activities or physical exercises.
  • Yoga and meditation can be helpful.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when stepping out in cold weather.
  • Avoid processed foods, additives, white sugar and artificial sweeteners.
