Why We Stop Losing Weight in the Rainy Season – An Ayurvedic Perspective

When the rains arrive, the earth feels refreshed, the air smells divine, and nature seems to be in a celebratory mood. But there’s one thing many people notice during this season – their weight loss journey slows down or even comes to a complete standstill. Despite eating right and exercising, the scales don’t budge. Ayurveda has a deep and fascinating explanation for this, along with simple yet powerful remedies. The Ayurvedic Reason for Weight Loss Slowdown in Monsoon According to Ayurveda, the rainy season is governed by Vata dosha, but Pitta also starts accumulating due to the humidity and heat trapped in the body. This season weakens Agni – the digestive fire – leading to Manda Agni (sluggish digestion). When digestion is slow: Result: Even with good diet and exercise, your body prioritises storing energy rather than burning it. Other Contributing Factors Ayurvedic Treatments for Monsoon Weight Management At Anammyaa Wellness, we follow time-tested Panchakarma and seasonal detox therapies to… Continue reading Why We Stop Losing Weight in the Rainy Season – An Ayurvedic Perspective

Constipation and the Monsoon – An Ayurvedic Perspective

Monsoon showers bring the scent of fresh earth, cool breezes, and a welcome break from summer’s heat. Yet, for many, the rains also bring an unwelcome guest — constipation. Ayurveda explains that this seasonal slowdown in digestion is not a coincidence, but a natural result of changes in our body’s internal balance. Why Constipation Worsens in the Rains In Ayurveda, the rainy season is a time when Agni — the digestive fire — becomes mandya (weakened). Ayurvedic View on Constipation Constipation (Vibandh) occurs when Apana Vata, the downward-moving energy, is obstructed.

xr:d:DAFt2yTVT4k:24,j:391090265428566226,t:23091514

In the vast ocean of Ayurvedic therapies, Basti—more commonly known today as Ayurvedic Enema—shines as a cornerstone of deep cleansing and rejuvenation. Far beyond a basic colon cleanse, this ancient therapy acts on the physical, emotional, and energetic levels, providing a holistic reset for the entire system. In fact, Basti is revered as the king of all Panchakarma therapies, and for good reason. What is Ayurvedic Enema (Basti)? Ayurvedic Enema, or Basti, involves the rectal administration of medicated oils, ghee, or herbal decoctions. Unlike modern enemas that aim only to clear bowel content, Basti is therapeutic and transformative. It works by pacifying Vatadosha, which governs all movement in the body—nerve impulses, circulation, elimination, and even mental activity. Why is the Rectum Used? The rectum (pakvashaya) is considered the seat of Vata in Ayurveda. Administering medication rectally allows it to bypass digestive breakdown, enter the bloodstream quickly, and impact deeper tissues (dhatus). This approach is beneficial in chronic ailments, nervous system… Continue reading Ayurvedic Enema (Basti) – The Ultimate Detox for Body and Mind

Manda Agni During Monsoons: Why You Feel Heavy & What Ayurveda Says

The arrival of rain brings cool breezes, earthy aromas, and a certain romantic stillness to the world. But inside our bodies, a very different storm brews—one of sluggish digestion, bloating, and low energy. This is the season of Manda Agni, or low digestive fire, and Ayurveda has long warned about its impact during monsoons. What is Manda Agni In Ayurveda, Agni is the digestive fire that governs not only food metabolism but also clarity of thought, immunity, and vitality. When this fire becomes manda (dull or weak), digestion slows, toxins (ama) accumulate, and the body begins to feel heavier and less efficient. Why Digestion Becomes Weak in Rainy Season Monsoon is a Kapha-Vata dominated season. The air is moist and heavy, the sun is hidden, and the external dampness creeps into our internal systems too. This naturally suppresses Agni and disrupts the rhythm of digestion. Common causes of Manda Agni during monsoon: How It Shows Up in Your Body Ayurvedic… Continue reading Manda Agni During Monsoons: Why You Feel Heavy & What Ayurveda Says

Rosacea Treatment: An Ayurvedic Perspective

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and occasional red bumps, especially on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. In some cases, it may even affect the eyes, known as ocular rosacea. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, rosacea treatment focuses on correcting internal imbalances, particularly in Pitta Dosha and Rakta-Pitta Dushti—a disorder involving the blood and heat-regulating systems of the body. Pitta governs the body’s heat, transformation, and metabolic functions. When aggravated, it leads to inflammation, sensitivity, and facial flushing—all hallmark symptoms of rosacea. Therefore, the root of effective rosacea treatment in Ayurveda lies in balancing Pitta and purifying the blood. Ayurvedic Causes of Rosacea Understanding the root causes helps tailor personalized treatment. In Ayurveda, rosacea is primarily associated with: Foods to Avoid for Rosacea To manage rosacea effectively, avoiding Pitta-aggravating foods is essential: Cooling Foods That Support Healing On the flip side, cooling, anti-inflammatory foods that pacify Pitta Dosha should be emphasized: These foods… Continue reading Rosacea Treatment: An Ayurvedic Perspective

Cervical Spondylosis Treatment in Ayurveda: Causes, Diet & Natural Healing

Neck pain is not just a muscular issue—it’s your body’s way of asking you to realign your life. What is Cervical Spondylosis? Cervical Spondylosis, often confused with cervical spondylitis, is a degenerative condition that affects the vertebrae, discs, and ligaments in the cervical spine (neck region). According to Ayurveda, it is known as GrivaSandhigataVata, a condition caused by aggravated Vatadosha, which accumulates in the neck joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited motion. Root Causes of Cervical Spondylosis (Ayurvedic & Modern Perspectives) While poor posture and aging are obvious culprits, Ayurveda takes a more holistic view. Ayurvedic Causes: Modern Triggers: Symptoms to Watch For Cervical spondylosis may present gradually but can severely impact daily life if left unaddressed: Ayurvedic Diet for Cervical Spondylosis A Vata-pacifying diet is essential for natural healing.

Liver Cirrhosis Cure in Ayurveda: Natural Healing through Ancient Wisdom

Your liver speaks through your skin, digestion, and emotions—are you listening? What is Liver Cirrhosis? Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and progressive liver disorder characterized by irreversible scarring. In modern medicine, it’s considered the final stage of liver damage. However, Ayurveda offers a deeper understanding—it links the condition to aggravated Pitta dosha and vitiated Rakta dhatu, leading to Srotorodha (channel blockage) and Yakritvikara (liver disease). The liver, known as Yakrit in Ayurveda, is the body’s metabolic powerhouse. When lifestyle choices and food habits are misaligned with natural rhythms, the liver begins to deteriorate. The good news is, the liver cirrhosis cure in Ayurveda focuses on reversing early damage, improving digestion, and rejuvenating liver tissues. Understanding Pitta’s Role in Liver Cirrhosis Pitta dosha governs metabolism, digestion, and transformation. The liver is its primary seat. When Pitta becomes excessive—due to spicy food, alcohol, synthetic supplements, or suppressed anger—it overheats the liver, causing cellular degeneration and fibrosis. Common Causes of Liver Cirrhosis (from… Continue reading Liver Cirrhosis Cure in Ayurveda: Natural Healing through Ancient Wisdom

Edible Chuna (Lime): A Forgotten Natural Source of Calcium

“Why Nature Nourishes and Neutra Supplements Often Harm” Rediscovering Nature’s Pharmacy In our fast-paced modern lives, we often turn to synthetic calcium supplements—commonly known as “neutra” supplements—to fulfill our body’s nutritional needs. But Ayurveda teaches us something timeless: true nourishment lies in nature, not in chemical factories. One such underappreciated natural remedy is edible chuna (also known as edible lime or slaked lime)—a humble, age-old source of bioavailable calcium. Let us explore how chuna works, why it is far superior to synthetic calcium tablets, and how it has been a part of traditional Indian life for centuries—especially through the ritual of eating paan. What is Edible Chuna? Edible chuna is calcium hydroxide derived from natural limestone. In Ayurveda and traditional Indian medicine, it is considered ushna (hot) in potency, deepana (stimulating digestion), and a balya (strength-giving) agent. Despite being inexpensive and easily available, it has been largely ignored in modern nutritional discussions. Calcium: The Foundation of Strength Calcium is vital… Continue reading Edible Chuna (Lime): A Forgotten Natural Source of Calcium

Uric Acid Treatment in Ayurveda: A Natural Healing Approach

What Is Uric Acid? Uric acid is a natural waste product formed when the body breaks down purines — compounds found in certain foods and naturally in the body. Typically, uric acid dissolves in the blood and exits the body through the kidneys via urine. However, when there’s an overproduction of uric acid or the kidneys can’t eliminate it efficiently, it accumulates in the blood. This leads to hyperuricemia, often triggering painful joint inflammation, known as gout, and other systemic disorders. Symptoms of High Uric Acid Uric Acid Treatment in Ayurveda: An Overview In Ayurveda, elevated uric acid levels are attributed to an imbalance in metabolism (Agni) and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) within the body. This imbalance is frequently linked to aggravated Vata and Kaphadoshas, and disruption in Medo Dhatu (fat/metabolic tissues), leading to inefficient waste elimination and toxin buildup in joints and blood. Modern Triggers: A Caution Against Excessive Protein Powders In today’s fast-paced world, artificial protein powders… Continue reading Uric Acid Treatment in Ayurveda: A Natural Healing Approach
