Ayurveda --for the Well being of you
It is also a system of medicine for the mind and the spirit based on the principle of nature.
Life (Ayur) is a combination of 4 essential parts namely Mind ,Body, Senses and Soul.
Mind, Body and Senses
We tend to identify most with our physical body. There is more to us than what meets the eye.
Mind not only controls our thought process but also helps us in carrying out our day-to-day activities like respiration,circulation,digestion, etc. The Mind and Body work in conjunction to regulate our physiology. In order for the Mind to act appropriately to assist the Body, we must use our Senses (smell, touch, sight, taste..etc). For example: When the Mind registers that a crertain type of food is entering the gastrointestinal tract,it directs the Body to release the appropriate digestive enzymes.
The Soul
The science of Ayurveda tells us that that we exist in a more subtle form known as Soul even before we exist in our physical form which is a combination of Mind and Senses. When the Soul no longer identifies with the Body, worldly desires cease to exist.
For the Mind, Body and Senses to work harmoniously with each other, it is vital for one to have
Good Food, Good Exercise and Good Thoughts.
Mental Performance
The three main aspects of mental performance
1 Learning and Comprehension ( dhi )
2 Retention of Knowledge ( dhriti )
3 Memory or Recall ( smriti )
To achieve the above aspects we need to have a stress free mind and good health. Most of us live in an environment where mental and physical strain is unavoidable. However, it is important to manage stress before it becomes severe as it can destroy one's brain cells. Quality sleep is essential for rejuvenating the brain. Irrespective of one's age or occupation, the brain needs to be constantly challenged to be at its peak in terms of performance.
The BRAIN
Home to our mind and personality - Brain houses our cherished memories (Nostalgia) and future hopes. Brain gives us purpose and passion, motion and emotion.
Ayurvedic medicinal herbs enhances the potential of the mind. There are herbal preparations in Ayurveda that help in improving memory power ,de-stressing the mind, eliminating mental and physical fatigue, etc
Herbs namely Brahmi (Baopa monnieri), Asparagus(sparrow grass)Ashwagandha, Shankapushpa .... are well known herbs that can increase mental performance.
