Herbal healing, one of the world’s oldest forms of medicine, is a 5,000-year-old medicinal practice in Sri Lanka meaning “life-knowledge”. Nestling herbal healing derived from the Buddhist & Hindu culture, herbal medicine concentrates on health and wellness by harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit. You can achieve total wellness from a trained Ayurveda practitioner through methods such as guided meditation, yoga, massage, herbal medicine, and body-specific changes in diet.

Reduce Stress

Meditation, yoga, herbal treatments, and breathing exercises are some of the many techniques that can help reduce stress and anxiety. A medical research has found that the effects of yoga, 25 trials showed significant reduction in signs of stress and anxiety. Other research says that regular yoga practice can improve autonomic nervous functions by reducing sympathetic activity, which is our fight or flight response.

Weight Loss

While weight loss isn’t a main concern, Ayurvedic medicine promotes shedding excess weight by consuming a natural and healthy diet. A recent study found that changing someone’s health diet helped clients lose weight effectively.

Hormonal Balance

Ayurveda can help balance hormones naturally, resulting in a healthy menstrual cycle/pregnancy. In 2010, a study done by Institute of Indigenous Medicine at the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka found that using essential oils can help with balancing hormones. Ayurveda prescribes natural formations and various therapeutic properties to help with all ill effects of hormonal imbalance.

Minimize Inflamation

Inflammation can be caused by inadequate sleep, poor diet, and deficient digestion. The Ayurvedic method of healing reduces inflammation to regulate the heart system and digestive tract by eliminating waste. Consuming a combination of herbal treatments, exercise that gently boosts metabolism, and antioxidants can help lower inflammation and increase energy.

Reduce Illness & Disease

Eating an illness-specific diet, getting sun exposure, and breathing in and out can help the person eat better and treat symptoms of illness. Metals like iron are thought to have healing properties to keep diseases away and reduce the chances of getting sick. Some supplements claiming to be approved by Ayurveda may contain toxic metals, so proceed with caution before purchasing them, especially online!

Cleanses the Body

Ayurvedic medicine promotes internal cleansing for improved health. “Panchakama” is the process of getting rid of food and toxins that interfere with efficient body function. Enemas, oils, and massage therapy help get the body working properly by moving toxins from the tissues to the intestines to remove them from the body.

Balance of Body

The benefit of Ayurveda is that it focuses on individualized treatment and improve the entire body, internally and externally. When someone has emotional stress or health issues, physical activity, nutrition, and spiritual connection can recalibrate your body and promote balance.

Cure Insomnia

Having a late dinner, drinking caffeine before bedtime, watching tv, staring at the phone, or eating a spicy or heavy meal for dinner can disrupt your sleep and aggravate your nervous system. Ayurveda can help induce a restful sleep with simple tips like rubbing jasmine or coconut oil on the scalp or soles of feet, drinking a cup of warm almond milk or chamomile tea, or stating a positive affirmation can effectively help cure insomnia and inspire peaceful sleep.
