Did You Know?
🌿 Ayurveda — The Sister Science of Yoga
Ayurveda and Yoga originate from the same ancient Vedic tradition and are often called sister sciences because they complement each other in restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit.
While Yoga focuses on balancing the mind through movement, breath, and meditation, Ayurveda works on healing the body through diet, lifestyle, herbs, and therapies.
Together, they create a complete system of natural wellness — where Yoga calms the mind and Ayurveda strengthens the foundation of health.
Digestion – An Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda views digestion (Agni) as the foundation of vitality, strength, and overall wellbeing. It’s the inner fire that transforms food into energy and nourishment for every cell. When this fire burns steadily, the body functions smoothly — metabolism stays strong, immunity builds, and the mind remains clear.
When Agni weakens, undigested food turns into Ama (toxins), which circulate through the system and cause imbalance. Symptoms like bloating, heaviness, loss of appetite, dull skin, and fatigue often point to poor digestion.
Supporting digestion through Ayurvedic principles — such as eating freshly prepared meals, avoiding overeating, using digestive herbs and spices, and seasonal detoxification — helps maintain a balanced Agni and prevent disease. Panchakarma, herbal therapies, and dietary guidance further restore digestive strength naturally.
