Ayurveda for Digestion
Digestion (agni) is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine — when it weakens, āma (undigested residue) becomes the root of most disease.
DigestionAyurveda for Bloating
Bloating is almost always a sign of low agni and trapped Vāta in the colon — gentle warmth, spice and rhythm clear it faster than restriction.
DigestionAyurveda for Constipation
Chronic constipation is a Vāta imbalance — dry, cold and irregular. Warmth, oil and rhythm move it more reliably than any laxative.
SleepAyurveda for Sleep
Good sleep is built in the evening, not in bed. Ayurveda treats it as a daily practice of warmth, oil and quiet.
SleepAyurveda for Insomnia
Insomnia (anidrā) in Ayurveda is almost always Vāta or Pitta-driven. Read the pattern, then choose the herb.
Women's HealthAyurveda for Women's Health
Ayurveda treats women's health through the cycle — the same body needs different food, rest and herbs at different phases of the month and life.
Women's HealthAyurveda for Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the Vāta years — drying, accelerating, sleep-disturbing. Oil, warmth and rasayana herbs are the antidotes.
Women's HealthAyurveda for Hot Flushes
Hot flushes are usually a Pitta-led pattern, sometimes with Vāta instability. The Ayurvedic aim is to cool excess heat, calm the nervous system, support digestion and rebuild daily rhythm — adjusted for your dosha, age, climate and region.
Anxiety & StressAyurveda for Anxiety
Anxiety is almost always a Vāta nervous system pattern — cold, dry, fast. Warmth, oil and rhythm are medicine.
Anxiety & StressAyurveda for Anxiety & Stress
Chronic stress depletes ojas — the deep tissue of resilience. Ayurveda rebuilds it slowly with rhythm, oil and rasayana.
