Ayurveda on Tamasic Environment- Ayurvedic Tips and Remedies for Immunity

WHAT IS AYURVEDA?

Ayurveda is a traditional healing science which is 5000 years old. Ayurveda does holistic healing with the help of Herbs, Minerals, Yoga, and diet. Ayurveda has two main aims : to take care of the health of the healthy person and treat the disease of the diseased person. Ayurveda treats on its basic principles that is Sapta dhatus (Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, Sukra), Panchmahabhutas (Prithvi, Jala, Agni, Vayu, Akasha), Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), Trimalas (Purisha, Mutra, sweda) and Triguna’s (Satva, Rajas, Tamas). Balance of these factors leads to the health or the healthy body and Imbalance of these leads to Disturbance in the body or disease.

Ayurveda on Tamasic Environment

WHAT IS TAMASIC ENVIRONMENT?

Let us first describe the word tamas, It is one of the guna. There are 3 gunas of mind (Satva, Rajas and Tamas). Here Tamas refers to ”Darkness”. Tamas guna can be triggered by a number of factors such as food, lifestyle, Tamasic Prakriti which indirectly leads to a Tamasic environment.

According to ayurveda

  • Tamasic foods such as Onion, Garlic, Curd, Non vegetarian food, Bread, Cakes etc which can harm the physical and mental health.
  • Tamasic lifestyle which includes loss of exercise, laziness, Inefficient, Confusion and dullness.
  • Tamasic personality when a person is very aggressive, lazy, Sad, Addicted towards unusual things, ignores spirituality, Dependency etc.
    Also, environment denotes the condition or the surroundings in which a person lives.

So, All these factors lead to the Tamasic environment which means that adopting this Diet, lifestyle or the way of living leads to a Tamasic condition.

Due to this, the body gets affected and leads to diseases such as infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders.

In Ayurveda, factors play a vital role in disease to occur. The basic cause is intellectual errors that are due to Rajas and Tamas Predominance, which results in jealousy, anger, laziness, Greed, Intake of tamasic food, Disposal of waste water in improper methods, Deforestation etc. These not only influence the lifestyle but also the health of an individual leading to the infectious diseases.

The viral infections are more prevalent these days, It happens due to the tamasic environment (Intake of oily, processed foods which decreases the immunity, Deforestation which leads to Impure air, and Overgrowth of Microorganisms such as Viruses and Bacteria, Sedentary lifestyle which decreases immunity) etc.

The reason for the prevalence of these diseases is that our surroundings have been tamasic, the diet and the lifestyle is made in such a way that is leading to the disease and the frequent infectious diseases.

Natural Treatment for Physical and Mental Fatigue

Abstract

Fatigue is not just tiredness. Fatigue can make it tough to get out of bed in the morning and avert a person from completing their daily activities. We know sportsmen are exhausted in many ways, but it’s not just physical tiredness that’s affecting their performance. As we study Fatigue Science, we discuss reduced alertness, effectiveness and reaction time – all of which evident in the form of sub-optimal athletic performance.

This mental fatigue results from improper sleep or when our daily routine activities fall outside of our biological need like sleep at night and be active in the day time – it is not considered under physical fatigue. Physical and mental fatigue are different but they can occur together, like repeated physical exertion can result in mental fatigue with time. Eating a healthy diet and getting regular physical exercise can help many people to reduce fatigue. Try to know about underlying causative factors  and treating them helps to cure fatigue. In this article we will look at the types of fatigue, causes, treatment and know about the Ayurvedic aspect of fatigue.

Introduction

Fatigue is a symptom not a particular health disease. Fatigue is associated with many health conditions and lifestyle factors. The majority of us have the same feeling after a prolonged physical or mental activity that completely resolves after rest. But if the feeling of tiredness is prolonged, progressive, severe and occurs without much exertion then it is a case of concern.

Fatigue is of two main types Physical and Mental fatigue. People with physical fatigue find it hard to do physical activity as they normally used to do due to muscle weakness. Mental fatigue makes you feel overwhelmed and drains you emotionally and it seems like your problems and responsibilities are impossible to overcome.

Classification of Fatigue

There are two main types of Fatigue

1. Physical Fatigue

The overall feeling of lack of energy and tiredness is termed as physical fatigue. When a person finds it hard to do the things they usually do in their daily activities like climbing stairs or walking. Then this is not just a feeling of tiredness or sleepiness but along with that one may feel lack of motivation or loss of energy. Various disease conditions ranging from mild to severe can cause the symptom of fatigue, while some of our lifestyle choices like improper diet or excessive exercise also naturally result in physical fatigue.
