Ayurvedic solutions for better sleep:



About Ayurveda:

Ayurveda is a form of alternative medicines that were used in the Indian subcontinent during the Vedic and the Aryan civilization. The word is a combination of two similar words, which, after split up means ayus meaning life and Veda meaning knowledge and roughly it sums up to the science of life. The whole subject of Ayurveda deals with measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. It is remarkable to state that ayurveda is one of the very few traditional and primitive systems of medicines that involves surgery. In the system of ayurveda the teacher or the guru gave a solemn address and he directs the students to a life of chastity, honesty, and vegetarianism.

Ayurvedic methods for better sleep:

The goal of an Ayurvedic approach for a better sleep is to create more ojas, the finest product of digestion that provides energy, enthusiasm, happiness, clarity of thinking, better coordination between the heart and mind, and immunity. Researches have concluded that only the deepest, most restful sleep, called Stage Four sleep creates ojas. A good quality of sleep is very much essential as it provides deeper rest to the mind and senses, and enhances capacity for mental and physical work the next day. From the Ayurvedic point of view there are three basic type of sleeping disorders. The first one is caused by the Vata imbalance or mental stress. Sufferers may toss and turn, unable to fall asleep because their mind is whirling. This may be over come by eating more sweet, sour, and salty foods and three cooked meals at the same time every day. It also recommends on the intake of herbal green tea before going to bed. The second disorder is caused by the Pitta imbalance or emotional trauma. In this one may fall asleep fine but wake up every 90 minutes with heart racing, muscles tense, and emotions of fear, anger, and sadness. The third one is due to the kapha imbalance that can result in long hours of sleep and waking up unrefreshed. Common recommendation for these disorders includes avoiding spicy foods, eating sweeter, bitter, and astringent tastes, avoid skipping of meals eating enough dinner so one don't wake up hungry.
