Don’t Hold Back! On Urges & Tears 😭

In Ayurveda, there are urges to not resist and doing so is harmful to the body. An urge can be yawning, going to the bathroom, burping, sleeping, crying, etc. Holding in these urges can put stress on the body and interrupt proper detoxification processes. Every urge has a purpose that connects to helping movement and cleansing. We regenerate a lot during sleep, which is why the body has an urge for rest. We may need to cough to clear the throat or drink water for cellular hydration . Crying is an emotional urge that carries more importance than we may think. In the Vedic texts, there are the 13 urges to not resist, called vega dharana or vega vidharan: Belching, flatulence, bowel movements, urination, sneezing, thirst, hunger, sleeping, coughing, yawning, crying, vomiting and ejaculating. The Ashtanga Hridaya (Vedic text) also mentions the urge to heavily breathe after exertion. There are other urges that we can think of such as laughing, screaming or shouting in an urgent situation.

Sinusitis can be acute, or chronic. Acute sinusitis usually lasts for about four weeks, while chronic sinusitis can last for more than a month or even several years with or without symptoms.

Ayurvedic Breast Massage

The breasts are specialized structures located on the anterior chest wall. Underneath the skin above our chest muscles are the breasts’ mammary glands, which drain into the nipples via a network of ducts. It is important for women to understand the normal anatomy and function of their breasts so that any abnormalities can be detected and treated. Female breasts are rarely symmetrical. In most cases, one breast is usually slightly larger or smaller, higher or lower, or different in shape compared to the other. When fully developed, the female adult breast comprises 15–20 lobes with milk-producing glands and a network of branching ducts inside them.  These lobes are separated by bands of connective tissue that radiate out from the nipple like spokes from the middle of a bicycle wheel. There is lots of fat tissue within the breast. The amount of fat determines the size of the breast. The fatty tissue gives the breast its soft consistency. The breast contains modified sweat glands call...
