How to reverse your aging process with Ayurveda?

Ayurveda considers Jara or aging as a natural phenomenon in life. The early health science of Ayurveda is composed of the five elements of air, ether, fire, water, and earth. The unique combination of these elements helps in building doshas- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. During childhood times, Kapha dominates in a body, then Pitta during youth, and after the age of 50 or 60 Vata dominates. The overall health of the human body completely depends on the essence of Doshas and they bring early depletion and aging or delay the process and make it smoother. 

Mainly, diseases are caused due to wrong nutrition, changing lifestyles, and misuse of senses. 

Fundamentals for healthy aging

Ayurveda helps in natural, comprehensive, and healthy aging and prevention and management of chronic diseases. Learning using preventive ayurvedic techniques in late adolescence and middle age will reduce health problems in the elderly and increase life expectancy.

Ayurveda focuses on: 

• Balancing Vata- Unbalanced Vata may lead to dryness, joint disorders, reduced bone density, and digestive and sleep disturbances. This mainly increases during early winter or fall.

• Improving Ojas- Ojas is the strength and vitality of the body that contribute to our immunity and mental resistance to stress.

• Take on Rasayana or rejuvenating, herb, therapies, and anti-aging strategies.

Dhathri is one of the best Ayurveda hospitals in Kerala offering treatments for more than 25 health problems in a more natural and holistic way.

Tips for aging gracefully

1. Sleep is rejuvenating –  

Inappropriate sleep can disturb circadian rhythms and cause chronic inflammation, depression, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Meditation and simple Ayurvedic principles help in sleep.

2. Nutrition and Metabolism – 

Controlled Agni (fire of digestion and metabolism) has an intense effect on healthy aging. Nourish yourself by eating fresh food full of easily digestible spices at the right meal; Avoid food, overeat, eat late, or avoid junk or processed foods. Make lunch the biggest meal of the day, have foods that contain antioxidants, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts while incorporating all six flavors. Reduce caffeine and try herbal tea instead. 

3. Oleation- 

Utilization of oil internally or externally is known as Snehan (oleation). Oleation in Sankrit means self-love and this oil medication helps to resist Vata-related dryness. 

• Abyanga (Massage)- Massage with warm oil enhance the blood circulation in the body, improves the skin and joint health, maintains balance among Doshas, and helps in reducing stress.

• Internal oil- Have healthy oils, fat, ghee in your diet and hydrate according to the need.

4. Yoga and Exercise – 

Yoga improves the strength, balance, and flexibility of the overall body. In addition, Yoga helps to escape from digestive disturbances such as sleep, constipation, and mental health and also helps in improving heart health. Moreover, everyday physical exercise will benefit elderly people to maintain cognitive abilities for a long time.

5. Meditation – 

Ayurveda promotes meditation to protect and improve vitality. There are numerous studies on how meditation slows down the aging process through stress reduction, physical and mental gains, improved cognitive function, increased neuroplasticity, and compensation for the aging congenital cortical thinning of the brain.

6. Panchakarma - 

Panchakarma is a powerful revitalizing, detoxifying treatment in Ayurveda, personalized to help with chronic and degenerative disorders. It helps in blood circulation, cerebral blood flow, and lymphatic drainage and helps in preventing the more naturally and holistically, recurrence of diseases. Panchakarma involves early treatment, first aid, and most importantly, resuscitation after treatment with herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes.

Dhathri Ayurveda Hospital and Panchakarma Centre are the best Panchakarma Centre in Kerala for all ayurvedic treatments and therapies.

 Ingredients like Chyawanprash, Shakti Drops, Amruth, and Triphala helps to enhance the immunity of our body. Consulting a doctor before taking herbs is a better option, as Ayurveda is personalized.

8. Protect Sense Organs: 

Take utmost care of all your sense organs and avoid sensory overload. Splashing eyes with water, tongue cleaning, oil pulling, and oiling ears and nostrils are better routines for taking care of your sensory organs.

9. Stay Connected:

Loneliness leads us to depression and eliminates our connections with society. Activities like meditation and nature walk help to connect with yourself and be more connected with your surroundings.
