Bring Back The Red ❤ : 6 Home Remedies for Anemia

Studies say that over half of the female population of India suffers from anemia . This condition is caused by the lack of oxygen flow in the body, which further causes: Fatigue Headache Fast heart rate Shortness of breath Hair loss The root cause of anemia What causes lack of oxygen flow in the body? Here is what experts say: 1.  Lack of hemoglobin :  Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrier in the red blood cells (RBCs) of the body. When sufficient hemoglobin is not produced, the size of the RBCs diminish, causing an inadequate flow of oxygen. Insufficient production of haemoglobin is caused by iron deficiency. 2.  Over-sized RBCs:  Over-sized RBCs are caused by the deficiency of either folic acid or vitamin B12 . When RBCs become over-sized, they cannot pass through blood vessels, obstructing the flow of oxygen. Clearly, anemia is caused by certain nutrient deficiencies. But, what causes these deficiencies?

A Quick Guide to Ayurveda Gemstones 💎

The Ayurvedic medicine system believes everyone has a mind-body constitution combining  three doshas .

Ayurvedic treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence)

The problem affects almost all men at one time or another in their lives and is emerging as one of the most serious life style and stress related diseases. While erectile dysfunction often devastates those affected by it, out of fear, embarrassment, or countless other reasons, few men seek treatment.

It has definite physical and/or psychological causes. It is not a “natural” consequence of aging nor is it “all in your head.” Most importantly, erectile dysfunction is not a condition you should accept or learn to live with. Most men who seek help benefit from treatment. Causes Male sexual arousal is a comple...

12 Superfoods To Support Immune Health

What is a Superfood ? While there isn’t a strict definition of what a  superfood  is, the term most often refers to nutrient-rich foods that are considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being, including for healthy immune system support.  Some examples of such superfoods include leafy greens like kale, berries, salmon, garlic, and herbs like  turmeric . What Makes a Superfood a Superfood? What makes these foods so special? For starters, they provide a concentrated dose of essential nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals,  antioxidants , fiber, and  fatty acids —which you must obtain from your diet since your body can’t make these nutrients on its own. When it comes to immune system health, superfoods that contain nutrients like  vitamin C  and  probiotics  seem to be especially helpful.   If you normally eat a “clean diet,” meaning you avoid processed foods and opt for whole foods, then you’re likely already eating s...

Ayurveda for Moving into Spring 🌺

     According to Ayurveda, one of the keys to maintaining health is to practice ritucharya—seasonal routines. Adjusting our daily self-care rituals to seasonal changes helps us maintain balance and reminds us that we are a part of the natural world. Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise . One of the best practices to minimize the heavy quality of kapha in the mind and body is to wake with the sun (around 5:30 am this time of year). Dawn is ruled by vata and is light, clear, and subtle. Get moving. When kapha is dominant in the day, the muscles are strongest between 6:00 and 10:00 am. Get outside for a brisk walk or do some vigorous yoga to melt away excess kapha. Kapalabhati pranayama is a great way to stoke the fires of digestion. Eat lighter foods. In the winter months, we naturally gravitate to...
