Cholesterol: The Most Misunderstood Friend of the Body

A Patient’s Journey, an Ayurvedic Perspective, and the Myths Around Statins When Meera (name changed) walked into my clinic, she looked exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally. She had been on statins for eight years, ever since her routine health check-up flagged “borderline high cholesterol.” She was told—like millions are told every day—that cholesterol is an enemy, a silent killer, something to be aggressively suppressed. But Meera’s story was different. Over the years, her energy levels dropped, her muscle pain worsened, her digestion weakened, and her moods became unpredictable. Every time she questioned it, she was told: “It’s normal… statins do that.” And she accepted it, because she thought she was saving her heart. Until one day she came across Anammyaa Wellness and decided to seek an Ayurvedic perspective. What unfolded in her consultation is exactly what this blog is here to share—the truth nobody talks about. Cholesterol: Not a Villain, but a Vital Building Block Ayurveda views the human body… Continue reading Cholesterol: The Most Misunderstood Friend of the Body

The Sweet Truth of Ayurveda — My Discovery of Date Syrup as Nature’s Nectar

A few weeks ago, a dear friend returned from Israel carrying a simple yet soulful gift — a bottle of the most exquisite Date Syrup I had ever seen. Thick, dark, and fragrant, it wasn’t just sweet — it looked alive. That evening, instead of adding sugar to my warm evening milk, I stirred in a spoonful of this rich syrup. The taste was deep, earthy, and gently comforting — unlike anything processed or artificial. It didn’t just sweeten the milk; it sweetened my mood. That night’s peaceful sleep and the lightness I felt the next morning inspired me to write this — a reflection through the Ayurvedic lens on why Date Syrup is more than just a sweetener. Dates in Ayurveda: Khajur — The Fruit of Strength and Nourishment In Ayurveda, dates or Khajur are celebrated as Balya (strength-giving), Brimhaniya (nourishing), and Rasayana (rejuvenating). They are Madhura rasa (sweet in taste), Guru (heavy), and Snigdha (unctuous) in quality —… Continue reading The Sweet Truth of Ayurveda — My Discovery of Date Syrup as Nature’s Nectar

3 Simple Ayurvedic Home Remedies for Cold & Cough in the Rainy Season

The monsoon brings the sweet smell of rain, lush greenery, and… unfortunately, a rise in cold and cough cases. In Ayurveda, this is the season when Vata and Kapha doshas can easily get imbalanced due to fluctuating temperatures and dampness in the air. This makes our respiratory system more vulnerable, from little babies to elders. While prevention is always better than cure, here are 3 simple home remedies you can try this season to keep colds and coughs at bay – all safe, natural, and rooted in traditional wisdom. 1. Tulsi-Ginger-Honey Kadha Why: Tulsi (Holy Basil) strengthens immunity, ginger ignites digestive fire (Agni) and clears congestion, while honey soothes the throat.

Warm Mustard Oil Chest Rub Why: Mustard oil with ajwain (carom seeds) opens nasal passages, reduces chest congestion, and keeps the body warm.

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. Dos in the Monsoon for Smooth Digestion Don’ts in the Monsoon Ayurvedic Home Remedies for Constipation in the Rains Anammyaa Wellness Tip At Anammyaa Wellness, we see more constipation cases during monsoon.

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.
