AYURVEDIC HERB SUPPLEMENTS

Frequent Stretch / Movement Breaks

Move every 90 minutes to keep your circulation moving. Sitting for too long creates risk of clotting and injures the circulatory system.

How Does This Ayurvedic Home Remedy Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Movement restores circulation which refreshes the whole body. Stretching supports the body and health generally. Humans are made for movement.

As sedentry lifestyles have become the norm, stretching has become a necessary habit to develop.

Stretching also improves mental health. As toxins build up in the blood, they irritate the nervous system and reduce your ability to think clearly. Stretching flushes these toxins and relaxes your body.

Stretching can also help you maintain proper alignment of the skeletal system, so that your joints last longer.

Tips to keep moving:
  • Take bathroom breaks and stretch while there
  • Stretch while talking on the phone
  • Set alarms on your phone to remind you to stretch
  • Work from the bottom up. Stretch the legs, then the abdomen, then the chest and upper back, then the shoulders and neck.

DOSHAS
Dosha Help

The Three Doshas / Body Types

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
