Is your sleeping schedule messed up? Do you find yourself with a bowl of chips while scrolling on Instagram or while watching Netflix late at night? Well, you are not the only one.
At the beginning of the pandemic, this was the situation everyone was facing, which might have seemed fun and looked at as a coping mechanism for all that was going on but, little did we know about the adverse effects it had on us.
Hence, we at Amrutam thought that as the pandemic is slowing down how can we help our community to get back to living a healthier life. So here we are with a blog that will help you to live a healthier life according to Ayurveda.
How does Ayurveda define health?
Ayurveda defines health in Sutrasthana as:
“Samadosha, samagnischa samadhatumala kriyaha prasanna atmenindriya manaha swasthya ityabhidheeyate”
Loosely translating to “that the doshas must be in equilibrium, the digestive fire must be in a balanced state and the tissues (dhatus) and malas (wastes) must work in a normal state. The sensory and motor organs and mind, atma must also be in a pleasant state. Such a person is called a healthy person or Swastha.”
Although maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be very difficult because we always go
We always plan to start exercising from the Monday of the next week but that rarely happens. The Mondays of the whole year pass by but we have still not started leading the healthy life we want to. So how about we start with these small tips suggested by Ayurveda to reach the goal.
Tips on living a healthy life according to Ayurveda:
1. Diet and more
Ayurveda emphasizes diet as one of the essential parts of healthy life. According to Acharya Charaka, there are three pillars of life one is ahara or diet, the second is Nidra, and the third is Brahmacharya. The balance of these three pillars helps to maintain a healthy state of body and mind.
When asked "Does diet differs from person to person ?" this is what our Team Doctor, Dr. Surabhi had to say about it -
A diet is different for each and every individual depending on the constitution of their body and mind, also known as Prakriti. But there are few foods that can be consumed habitually by anyone such as wheat, rice, barley, jivanti herb, young radish, amla, dry grapes, Pointed gourd, green gram, ghee, clarified jaggery, milk, honey, pomegranate, rock salt (Saindhava), etc. Also, this food should be consumed according to the seasons.
Now the ideal time for consuming meals is usually after the elimination of waste in the morning when the mind is clean, the Doshas are moving, and naturally, in a balanced state, the urge of hunger is well manifested which helps in proper digestion.
It is not what you eat that kills you; it is what eats you (negative thoughts) that kills you. I've read somewhere these beautiful lines and I absolutely believe that not only our food but how we live our lives are responsible for what we are today.

2. Meditation
According to Patanjali, Dhyana is the seventh limb of Ashtanga Yoga. Dhyana means meditation. Dhyana helps in attaining oneness with self or self-realization, which is the main aim of ashtanga yoga.
The regular practice of meditation not only helps to attain self-realization but is also beneficial in conditions such as anxiety, stress, hypertension, insomnia & depression. Even though it might not alter the symptoms but make a difference in how they manage or relate to their ailments.
With our busy schedule, one can meditate whenever they get a small break but it can be beneficial if one practices yoga in the early morning from 3-6 am. This time is known as the ‘magic hours’ where time sits still, and you can connect to the energy of the universe uninterrupted.
3. Maintaining a proper sleep schedule
It is suggested by Ayurveda that one should sleep at 10 pm and wake up early in the morning (Brahma muhuratthat) as this not only helps us feel refreshed and energized but also helps to reduce the risk of heart-related diseases.
Also one should fix a specific time to sleep and continue with that timing as this helps to sleep better and after as it becomes a habit and further becomes a balanced sleep schedule. Now there might be times when it is difficult to sleep, where one can try to meditate which will help their mind to calm down and hence help to sleep or even try something like Ashwagandha Milk.
Recipe for Ashwagandha Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup of milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp. ground ashwagandha churna/powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- a pinch of ground nutmeg
- Honey or sweetener as per taste
Directions:
- Bring the milk to a low simmer.
- Once the milk is hot, whisk in the ashwagandha,
cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Gently simmer for 5 minutes. - Stir and add honey or any sweetener, if desired.
4. Practicing the principles of right conduct
In classical ayurvedic texts for the maintenance of health and to achieve a long healthy active life one should implement these three principles -
- dincharya (daily regime),
- ritucharya (seasonal regimen) and,
- sadvritta (good conduct)
We have previously talked about dincharya and ritucharya, coming to Sadrvitta which are a few rules prescribed by Ayurveda for maintaining a healthy mind. These are principles of right conduct that are applicable to all people at all times and places. These conducts can be anything from being patient, meditating every day, observing self-control, controlling your sense organs, avoiding overeating, oversleeping, over-talking, and acting in a polite manner.
These conducts help a person to bring balance and harmony to their mind, in long term helping to live a healthy and peaceful life.
5. Using Ayurvedic medicines
A lot of us use products with artificial ingredients which can harm our body, hence using ayurvedic products can help. As these products are made out of natural products they don't have any harmful side effects.

6. Drinking Water
Drinking water can be beneficial for one's health as it helps to get rid of all the toxins, increases energy, helps in feeling less fatigued, helps in maintaining clear skin, and many other things. It also suggested one should drink water first thing in the morning as it helps in flushing all the toxins in the body and cleanses your intestines.
We hope this helps the #AmrutamFamily to gain some insight on how one can live the long and healthy life that we all dream of.

There are some ophthalmic diseases, which lead to blindness. But if treated in time, with the skill of experience, the sight can be protected; at least, minimize the deterioration. The right treatment helps preserve your existing eyesight and then make your visual organ healthy. This approach helps to protect and improve your vision.
At Matha ayurvedic eye hospital, all treatments are customized for each patient by the treating doctor. The clinical-stage of disease, other systemic complaints, dietary regime, and habitual factors are considered before deciding on a care plan.
Target disease areas selected
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy is caused due to prolonged high blood glucose levels. In diabetic eye disease, abnormal blood vessels develop that can break, bleed, and leak fluid. Sometimes tiny bulges called microaneurysms may protrude from the vessel walls. This leads to leakage or oozing of fluid and blood into the retina. This fluid causes edema in the central part of macula leading to diabetic macular edema. Regaining the lost ability to see depends on the clinical stage when a patient starts treatment.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is now one of the major causes of blindness. It is now in the first place among the causes of blindness in the working group of the population. It is a degenerative eye disease where patients easily miss the early stage. This is because there is no serious visual problem in this very early stage. Hence it is important to see your eye doctor regularly to find early warning signs. As the condition progresses, patients experience wavy and blurred vision. The next stage is loss of central vision.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Ayurvedic treatments help to delay degeneration for retinitis pigmentosa patients and support a normal life with medicine. Retinitis pigmentosa cannot be cured. The aim is to arrest the degeneration, preserve your eyesight and delay the progress of the disease. The treatments take around 16 to 20 days. Patients need to repeat the treatments and medications at home to manage RP. In this manner, the patient is able to lead a normal life, with the support of treatment and medicines.

Blepharospasm
Blepharospasm is an involuntary forceful closure or spasm of the eyelids. It is not directly involved in vision, but since the patient is not able to open his eyes, vision becomes involved indirectly. Usually, it starts as a simple involuntary blinking of lids occasionally. Later, episodic closure of the lids develops. Gradually, the frequency of the episodes increases, and the interval between two episodes decreases.
Macular Edema
In ayurveda, this clinical condition is due to the vitiation of Kapha and pitta functioning in the eye. For this, there is a very successful line of treatment.
The treatment is conducted in two steps. First, the treatment is aimed to maintain circulation in the retina of the eye so that the possibility of accumulation of fluid is eliminated. In the next step, the retina is strengthened so that the functional capacity of the retina is revived or increased.
Uveitis
Uveitis is the inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye. The uveal tract is the main vascular layer of the eye and it consists of three main parts – the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. This layer is the main source of nourishment to the internal structures of the eye. So, any disease of this structure is considered as a medical emergency, because it affects the vision easily.
Central Serous Retinopathy
CSR is a medical condition in which there will be fluid accumulation behind the retinal layers. if the fluid collection is in the central area of macula, vision will be seriously affected. In severe condition, there is chances of detachment of retinal layers and it may lead to severe loss of vision.
If analyzed on the basis of ayurvedic theory, Kapha and Pitta are the predominant factors in the pathology. The main aim of treatment is to normalize the circulation so as to avoid possibility of accumulation of fluid. To achieve this, there are highly effective internal medicines and also scientific treatment procedures.
