Spa at Niraamaya samroha

Ayurveda, an age-old Indian medicinal tradition, has stood the test of time for millennia by fostering complete well-being. It lays emphasis on achieving harmony among one's mind, body, and spirit, with the belief that each individual possesses a distinct constitution, known as a "dosha." For a deeper understanding of Ayurveda and doshas, we invite you to explore our other informative blog: https://www.niraamaya.com/blog/navigating-the-world-of-ayurveda.html . In addition, Ayurvedic practices have the potential to enhance mental health, soothing the mind and elevating one's mood.
 

At Niraamaya, we understand the vital role of Ayurveda in maintaining good mental health, which is why we provide various therapies and practices that support emotional well-being. Here are some Ayurvedic tools that we recommend to calm the mind and enhance mood:
 

Wellness moment meditation


Meditation: Meditation is a potent relaxation technique that reduces stress and anxiety while improving overall well-being and mood. There are different types of meditation techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, transcendental meditation, and loving-kindness meditation, which can be practised in different ways depending on individual needs and preferences.

Yoga: Yoga is a physical and mental practice that combines breathing exercises, postures, and meditation to promote overall well-being. It is helpful for reducing stress and anxiety, and it also improves mood and mental clarity. Different types of yoga, such as Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga, and Restorative yoga, can be practised depending on individual needs and abilities.
 

Ayurvedic massage: Ayurvedic massage, also known as Abhyanga, is a therapeutic massage that uses warm herbal oils to promote relaxation and balance. It can be helpful for reducing stress and anxiety, and it can also improve circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and support overall health and well-being.

Ayurvedic herbs and supplements: Ayurvedic herbs and supplements can be helpful in supporting mental health and well-being. Some of the herbs commonly used in Ayurveda for mood support include ashwagandha, brahmi, shankhapushpi, and jatamansi. These herbs can be taken as supplements or used in herbal teas or decoctions.

Ayurvedic diet: Ayurvedic principles stress the importance of a balanced and healthy diet in supporting overall health and well-being. Foods are categorized based on their taste, energy, and effect on the body and mind, and an individualized diet plan can be formulated based on dosha type and personal needs. A balanced diet can promote both physical and mental health.
