Ayurveda is a natural healing mechanism that has truly stayed constant throughout the ages. Here we take a look at why it is so famous and sought after.
It is no secret that stress has a direct effect on many aspects of your health. Ayurveda practitioners know this too, and hence make use of multiple techniques to treat stress at its root and reset the energy balance in a person's body. These techniques include meditating, yoga and making use of herbal treatment among many others. The benefits are that they reduce the negative energy in your body, helping you sleep better and increasing your mental health. Another lesser known effect of yoga is that it improves the nervous functions of the body.
According to research done on the subject, the dieting plans recommended by Ayurveda are known to reduce the buildup of plaque and reverse the effects of atherosclerosis. For those who do not know, atherosclerosis can lead to heart attacks and strokes and can even happen in a healthy adult. However, the relaxation and massage techniques of Ayurveda can combat this issue without the need for prescription drugs. This is by itself a good enough reason to try out an Ayurveda session at a resort in Maldives such as the likes of Anantara Veli Maldives Resort.
For ages, there has been a constant belief that Ayurveda can help a person with injuries and chronic pains. Ayurvedic techniques target inflammation, which is generally the underlying cause of diseases. By doing so, they reduce the pain in the body as well as the swelling with fewer side effects than prescription drugs. Furthermore, it improves the flow of blood, making it a great option for those suffering from arthritis and fibromyalgia. Detoxifying the body is also done by Ayurveda practitioners thanks to the many herbal remedies and other techniques.
Anyone looking to lose a few pounds will tell you it is a task that seems significantly easier on paper. Well, this might come as a surprise, albeit a pleasant one as Ayurveda has the ability to help a person lose weight. However, it does not focus on the immediate loss of weight but instead focuses on weight loss over a more drawn out period. Practitioners do this by taking advantage of a healthy diet and making use of techniques to reduce the stress on a person. What sets the Ayurveda diet plans apart from the other diet plans is that the former's diet plans are specially engineered for each patient, rather than following a common plan for everyone. A study done back in 2009 by the NutriHealth Systems Center based in India has shown that making a diet based on a person's individual requirements yielded more results than prescribing a generic one.
