Stress and Ayurveda

Stress is the body and mind's physical reaction to an event that is happening in our lives. Stress is referred to in Ayurveda as SAHASA, and it lowers immunity and makes the body more susceptible to disease. Stress can be caused by eating unhealthy foods, following an irregular or incorrect routine, and having uncontrolled mental emotions like fear, rage, or grief. Emotions and body organs are said to be intimately related in Ayurveda. When we repress negative emotions, they are not processed and cannot be released, which puts stress on the organs and causes diseases. According to Ayurveda, stress is a nerve system disturbance that the Vata dosha governs. Ayurvedic techniques for managing stress not only keep the body and mind in harmony but also gradually increase the level of inner fulfillment. Ayurvedic treatments have basically two aims: Maintain the health of a healthy person and Cure the disease of an ill person. Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations for stress management achieve both of the objectives mentioned above. Life, in accordance with Ayurveda, is a harmonious union of the body, mind, and soul. Ayurveda advises making lifestyle changes to reach a balanced condition, such as scheduling activities like sleeping and waking up, following a balanced meal plan, engaging in appropriate exercise, and getting enough rest. Literally meaning mental peace, treatments for stress management work to relieve the ill effects that come from the burden of mental strain-stress, insomnia, lack of concentration, fatigue, and headaches, and help in improving your mental health. The treatment course for Manashantichikitsa/treatment follows the 3 stages, Poorvakarma - the preparatory phase, Shodana - the cleansing or eliminating phase, and finally Samana which is the corrective and rejuvenation phase. In the first step, internal and external oleation (Snehanam) and therapeutic sweating (Swedanam) prepare the body for the removal of toxins. After the body has been prepped, the doctor will choose the cleansing procedure or panchakarma treatment based on each patient's body type and overall health. The doshas (body constitution) imbalances will be stabilized during these two stages of treatment. The body is gradually pulled out of the extreme cleansing and elimination stage during the third and final stage of treatment, Samana or Paschatkarma, by correcting medications, moderate therapeutic treatments, a healthy diet, and yoga asanas to revitalize the body. (Dr Jayan, Sr. Doctor, Kalari Kovilakom) Read More►10 Ways to Protect Your Hair During The Intense Summer Heat

घरेलू हिंसा से पीड़ित महिलाओं में अस्थमा का जोखिम ज्यादा : स्टडी

लंदन। भारतीय मूल की एक महिला के नेतृत्व में किए गए एक शोध के अनुसार, जिन महिलाओं को घरेलू दुर्व्यवहार का सामना करना पड़ा है, उनमें अस्थमा सहित एटोपिक बीमारियों के विकसित होने का खतरा अधिक हो सकता है। जर्नल ऑफ एलर्जी एंड क्लिनिकल इम्यूनोलॉजी में प्रकाशित स्टडी के मुताबिक, रोगी रिकॉर्ड के विश्लेषण में पाया गया कि महिलाओं का एक बड़ा प्रतिशत वो था जिनको एटोपिक रोग थे और जिनका इतिहास घरेलू दुर्व्यवहार और हिंसा का रहा है। ब्रिटेन के बमिर्ंघम विश्वविद्यालय के डॉ जोहत सिंह चंदन ने कहा, हमारे नतीजे बताते हैं कि घरेलू हिंसा और दुर्व्यवहार की पीड़ित महिलाओं में एटोपिक बीमारियों के विकास का जोखिम 52 प्रतिशत बढ़ जाता है। उन्होंने कहा, घरेलू हिंसा और दुर्व्यवहार एक वैश्विक मुद्दा है जो महिलाओं को प्रभावित करता है। हम घरेलू हिंसा के स्वास्थ्य प्रभावों के बारे में अपनी समझ को और गहरा करना चाहते हैं, इसलिए साक्ष्य-आधारित सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य नीतियों को न केवल घरेलू हिंसा को संबोधित करने के लिए विकसित किया जा सकता है, बल्कि एटोपिक रोगों पर भी ध्यान दिया जा सकता है। शोधकर्ताओं की टीम ने यूके में एक अध्ययन किया, एक चिकित्सक के साथ वयस्क महिलाओं (18 वर्ष और उससे अधिक आयु) के साथ हुई घरेलू हिंसा को देखा और उनकी तुलना 18 वर्ष से अधिक उम्र की दूसरी महिलाओं से की जिनके साथ ये हिंसा नहीं हुई थी। जिन महिलाओं में एटोपिक रोग पहले से थे उनको अध्ययन से बाहर रखा गया। कुल 13,852 महिलाओं की घरेलू हिंसा के संपर्क में आने के रूप में पहचान की गई और बिना हिंसा की शिकार 49,036 महिलाओं से उनका मिलान किया गया। स्टडी के मुताबिक, 13,852 महिलाओं में से 967 में एटोपिक रोग पाया गया, जबकि दूसरे समूह में यह संख्या 2,607/49,036 थी। (एजेंसी) यह भी पढ़े►भारत में प्रति नौ में से एक को कैंसर का खतरा

Protecting Mental Health While Pregnant

Pregnancy is a life-changing experience for women, as they prepare to bring a new life into the world. It is a time of great joy and anticipation, but it can also be a time of stress and anxiety. Mental health issues are common during pregnancy, and it is essential to take care of your mental health to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Mental health issues during pregnancy can take many forms, including depression, anxiety, and stress. These issues can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal changes, relationship problems, financial stress, and physical discomfort. Whatever the cause, it is important to address mental health issues during pregnancy to ensure the best possible outcome for both the mother and the baby. According to Shivangi Sagar, Counselling Psychologist and Co-Founder of HopeQure, a platform for counselling and therapy consultations, mood swings are normal during pregnancy but if you feel nervous or down all the time, it could be a sign of something deeper. She says, "Stress over being pregnant, changes in your body during the pregnancy, and everyday worries can take a toll. Depression and anxiety are the two most common and prevalent disorders faced during pregnancy. The prevalence ranges from 8 to 30 per cent all over the world." "Antenatal depression i.e., depression before the birth of the child is a strong predictor of postnatal depression. Depression is sadness or feeling down or irritable for weeks or months at a time. Someone may have depression before getting pregnant. But it also can start during pregnancy for a number of reasons -- for example, if a woman isn't happy about being pregnant or is dealing with a lot of stress at work or stress at home. Whereas, anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear over things that might happen. If you worry a lot anyway, many things can stress you out during pregnancy. You might worry that you won't be a good parent or that you can't afford to raise a baby," says Shivangi. "Perinatal and antenatal mental issues have been associated with many poor outcomes, including maternal, child, and family unit challenges. Infants and young children of depressed mothers are more likely to have a difficult temperament, as well as cognitive and emotional delays. Among mothers who have a history of depression and decide to stop taking their antidepressants during the perinatal period, the majority suffer from relapsing symptoms. If depression continues postpartum, there is an increased risk of poor mother-infant attachment, delayed cognitive and linguistic skills in the infant, impaired emotional development, and risk for behavioural problems in later life." While there is a probability of adverse mental health concerns in mothers during pregnancy, it is of chief importance that these symptoms can be managed. Here are seven ways Counselling Psychologist Shivangi suggests you protect your mental health while pregnant: Seek Prenatal Care: Regular prenatal care is critical to identify mental health issues early on and providing support and resources to address them. Prenatal care can also ensure that both the mother and the baby are healthy throughout the pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is a powerful tool for managing depression. It can assist in elevating the mood during pregnancy and provide strength to the body, especially the pelvic floor, hip, and abdominal core muscles. It gives the mother a healthier pregnancy and research has confirmed that a healthy mother is more likely to have or give birth to a healthy baby. Increase Awareness: It is important to take notice that you are facing mental health issues. It can be helpful to talk to a professional and help you deal with your specific issues. Practice Positive Self-Talk: Sometimes writing a few positive affirmations and reading them aloud can help in uplifting the mind. It is significant that pregnant women should focus their attention on positive things. Communicate Openly: Talking about what is causing you stress with your partner, family, friends or a professional can help you understand your stressors and how you can manage them. It will also help your loved ones support you during this period. Having a strong support system during pregnancy can provide valuable emotional support and connection. Joining a support group for pregnant women can also provide a valuable source of support. Prioritise Self-Care: Taking care of oneself during pregnancy is essential to reduce stress and promote positive mental health. This can include getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. Taking time for oneself to relax and engage in activities can also help reduce stress. Breathing Exercises: You can try breathing exercises and help you calm yourself in times of stress and anxiety. You can also try mindfulness and meditation techniques to regulate your emotions. Seek Professional Help: If you are experiencing severe or persistent mental health issues during pregnancy, it's essential to seek professional help. This can include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Healthcare providers can help identify the best treatment options for individual needs. (N.
