It is useless to take medicine when your diet is wrong.
The correct diet eliminates the need for medicine.
Proverb from Ayurveda

This proverb holds a lot of relevance until recent times, hasn’t it?

You might be wondering, why are we talking about ayurveda, older times, and medicine at once? Please allow me to explain further.

Rising medical costs are one of the most significant challenges facing all countries today, which eat up a significant portion of family and national budgets. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease cannot be effectively treated with drug-based medicines in the majority of cases.

From the perspective of Yoga and Ayurveda, such drug-based medicine is neither wrong nor unnecessary, but it shouldn’t be the first line of treatment. The use of this therapy should only be limited to situations where natural therapies have failed. In order to improve our health, we should consider changing our diet, taking herbs, changing our lifestyle, practicing Yoga, and meditating.

Yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda are the three invaluable gifts that India has given to the world. Throughout Indian culture and tradition, these pieces of ancient wisdom have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
How have these ancient practices remained relevant in modern times? Essentially, they are intimately connected to the process of life, which is directly related to the functioning of nature.

A recent study and scientific research has shown that incorporating the trio into one’s daily routine has several benefits for physical fitness and mental health. Our daily lives would not be complete without Yoga, Meditation, Nutrition, and Ayurveda.

A yoga practice
Although no one knows who discovered this unique form of exercise, it dates back over five thousand years to Indian civilization. Yoga means union in Sanskrit, and it derives from the word Yog. Our daily routine can be enriched by incorporating yoga into our consciousness.

Pranayamas and Asanas are the two most important components of the practice. Pranayama is the inhalation and exhalation of breath, and Asana is the body position in which the breathing pattern occurs. Many common diseases, such as Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, and Asthma, can be cured by increasing body flexibility and controlling the regulation of the breathing sequence. It also provides strength and endurance, as well as a youthful body and a glowing face. Yoga was once taught as an ascetic discipline in India, but it is now popular all over the world and practised by people from all walks of life due to its excellent results.

A meditation practice
The practice of meditation improves concentration and awakens consciousness lost in the chaos of thought. Being present at the moment is emphasized as a way to tap into the power of now. A regular meditation practice can have a significant impact on our lives. Not only does it help reduce the risk of mental illness and heart disease, but it also opens the door to new possibilities when it comes to finding a life perspective, achieving our full potential, and, most importantly, releasing ourselves from the chain of negative thoughts that cause us so much suffering in life.

Food and nutrition
Considering that we are what we eat, it’s definitely worth paying attention to the food that we eat! Living a healthy lifestyle requires yoga and nutrition-rich food for centuries, and this remains the case in the twenty-first century. According to ancient texts such as Gheranda Samhitha and Haha Yoga Pradpik, we should eat Mitaahara, or organic fruits, whole grains, and vegetables in moderate proportions. The purpose of eating food is to nourish, not to satiate.

The Ayurvedic tradition
Ancient Indian medicine is known as Ayurveda. Body, mind, and soul are balanced through the integrated approach of Ayurvedic treatment. The mind, body, and soul of every individual exhibit a distinct pattern of energy. In Ayurveda, these energies are regulated properly. In Ayurveda, Vatta is the energy of movement, Pitta is the energy of metabolism, and Kapha is the energy of structure. There are many people who use Ayurveda in conjunction with allopathic medicine to heal completely from a particular disease.

What a fascinating idea, isn’t it? Isn’t it because our country has brought these gifts to the world that we should be proud? The people of India contribute to a better world, to a place where people are healthy and happy, who stand up for humanity and eliminate war and strife. Indians are responsible not only for embracing this great Indian tradition, but also for promoting it globally as a means of harmony and universal brotherhood.

How does tea benefit you?

Daily consumption of tea has multiple benefits for your body, brain, mood, and soul. Is that possible?

In the body:

A natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, tea contains powerful antioxidants. It is good for your teeth by aiding in the fight against oral infections, as well as good for your gut by killing bacteria, improving blood sugar and carbohydrate absorption, and increasing metabolism.

Using the brain:

Researchers have found that drinking tea regularly can help you develop more efficient brain regions. There is also evidence that tea can reduce stress hormones and increase serotonin levels in the brain.

Anxiety:

The natural caffeine present in most teas (especially black or green tea) makes you more alert and ready to face whatever comes your way, so a cup or two of caffeinated tea is a great way to get a start to the day or a quick afternoon boost without feeling jittery.

The soul:

Brewing a cup of tea has been deemed therapeutic by many. People have been bringing people together with tea for centuries. By gathering around a drink that was always meant to be shared and observing ceremonial rituals, social rites, and casual get-togethers with friends and family, tea fosters a sense of community.

It’s Black When It’s Happy!

The shadow cast by the sun is visible from the window. Monsoons embrace us with their comforting dark layers. The heavens literally hug you out there. There’s only one thing missing in this perfect weather, isn’t there? It’s nice to have a nice hot cup of tea. The question now arises. What do you pick from the wide range of teas available? You’ll be eager to brew a cup of black tea by the end of this article, whether you prefer chai or green tea. Exactly how? Here’s what we’ll explore!

We should start at the beginning, shall we? In the 17th century, black tea emerged in the tea-drinking scene as it came from China, the world’s tea-drinking capital. Is that possible? Several people left tea leaves out in the sun for too long, which led to the creation of this beverage. Too much sun and oxygen absorbed by the leaves turned them a dark red color. As a result of a farmer’s decision to dry the leaves over pine, the beautiful smoky brew was born. That’s so cool!

As a result, traders went crazy over Lapsang Souchong’s black tea leaves because they were able to store them for an extended period of time.

After the Dutch won, the British had to look elsewhere for this exciting new tea, Camellia Sinensis. They discovered it in India, but it yielded more and was stronger. As a result of its exorbitant price, black tea was once reserved for the aristocracy and favored by British royalty.

In the modern era, black tea is quite popular all over the world. There are still three main producers of one of the world’s most popular teas: India, China, and Sri Lanka.
