<h2>Understanding Microneedling Therapy and Its Mechanism</h2>Microneedling or micro dermal needling is a cosmetic procedure where sterilised needles create controlled micro-injuries for your skin. Micro-injuries&nbsp;trigger&nbsp;a healing process that stimulates collagen and elastin production. What are collagen and elastin? They are the building blocks of your skin. They strengthen your skin and other body tissues.So yes, microneedling is a procedure to boost your beauty without going under the blades or applying costly cosmetic products!In what ways does this collagen and elastin production by microneedling benefit your skin health? Let’s see.<ul><li>Microneedling can help improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks.</li><li>It can also help reduce enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.</li><li>Microneedling may even promote hair growth for those experiencing hair loss due to alopecia!&nbsp;</li></ul>It’s incredible how this simple yet effective procedure can improve your skin and hair’s overall health and appearance.Pro Tip:&nbsp;You may combine microneedling with other treatments like topical serums, radiofrequency (RF microneedling), or platelet-rich plasma.&nbsp;Doing so will help you enhance its results.<h2>Nirva Health Experts’ Insights on Microneedling Therapy</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Nirva_Health_Experts_Insights_on_Microneedling_Therapy_f35b1e7f77.jpg" alt="Nirva Health Experts' Insights on Microneedling Therapy.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Nirva_Health_Experts_Insights_on_Microneedling_Therapy_f35b1e7f77.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Nirva_Health_Experts_Insights_on_Microneedling_Therapy_f35b1e7f77.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">So, are you ready to check out microneedling therapy for your skin? Before you explore microneedling, let us tell you that there are different microneedling techniques.<h3>Radiofrequency Microneedling</h3>Micro-needling with radiofrequency is an excellent treatment that combines the benefits of radiofrequency technology with micro-needling. The treatment has shown improvement in scar depth, texture, and overall appearance.&nbsp;<h3>Skin Pen</h3>Skin pen is the gold standard for traditional micro-needling treatments. What is so special about a skin pen? It’s adaptable. Yes, it’s effortless to use and adaptable to different angles and positions.<h3>Mesotherapy</h3>Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that targets the topmost layer of the skin. Mesotherapy is commonly called ‘bio rejuvenation”. Just as it sounds, it rejuvenates your skin by injecting skin-nourishing agents.<h3>Microneedling with PRP or PRF</h3>If you’re looking for a natural way to enhance your skin’s healing properties, then micro-needling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or PRF (platelet-rich-fibrin) can be your go-to option. These techniques use your blood’s platelets and plasma (separated from your blood in the lab) to energise cellular activity, increase cellular turnover, and nourish the cells.&nbsp;<h3>Dermarollers and Derma Pens</h3>Derma Rolling and Derma pens are ‘at-home’ beauty treatment tools. They have a mini wheel covered with tiny needles to prick your skin gently. Before you get hold of this easy-to-use dermapen, know it’s less effective than traditional microneedling tools. In addition, there is the risk of irritation, tearing, or scarring of your skin because of the diagonal angle of the derma rollers.&nbsp;Besides these, do you wish to get a holistic treatment with microneedling therapy?&nbsp;<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre>Then here’s what Ayurveda experts at Nirva Health have to say.“Microneedling or derma rolling is a type of treatment practised in Ayurveda, specifically to cleanse the toxins in the blood. When your blood has impurities, it shows up externally as skin conditions. So, it gets performed on the skin with bloodletting, or Raktamokshana called ‘pracchana’ (making tiny punches with needle-like instruments). Why is it performed this way? The answer is to cause micro-injury and enhance healing. The next step involves the application of medicated pastes or oils to the treatment area according to the individual’s skin condition and body type.”Which micro-needling technique would you like to try? Also, do you wish to know more about their safety? Then, read on.<h2>Get Ready for a Safe Microneedling With Us!</h2>It’s essential to remember that while microneedling can be a great way to achieve smoother and more youthful-looking skin, there are some risks and potential side effects to be aware of.<h3>What Are the Side Effects of Microneedling?</h3>Don’t worry; most people who undergo the procedure experience only minor skin irritation and redness for a few days following the treatment.But you may also face some serious side effects, such as;<ul><li>Bleeding</li><li>Bruising</li><li>Infection&nbsp;</li><li>Skin peeling&nbsp;</li></ul>These may require medical attention.&nbsp;Note:&nbsp;If you have open wounds, active acne, a history of skin scars from wounds or cuts, or have recently had radiation therapy, microneedling may not be the best option.&nbsp;<h3>Micro Needling Therapy: Before and After! What to Expect?</h3><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Micro_Needling_Therapy_Before_and_After_What_to_Expect_1_7f1e6335e5.jpg" alt="Micro Needling Therapy Before and After What to Expect (1).jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Micro_Needling_Therapy_Before_and_After_What_to_Expect_1_7f1e6335e5.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Micro_Needling_Therapy_Before_and_After_What_to_Expect_1_7f1e6335e5.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Before you decide on microneedling therapy, knowing what to expect before, during and after the procedure is essential.To make the most out of your microneedling experience, here are some tips to keep in mind :&nbsp;<ul><li>Firstly, discuss your unique skin concerns and goals with your dermatologist. Doing so will help you set realistic expectations regarding the number of sessions you must go for to achieve optimal results. Nothing changes overnight, right?</li><li>Secondly, remember to follow the post-treatment procedures and guidelines. You may need to stop taking some medications (if any), such as painkillers and pills for acne treatment.</li><li>In addition, avoid using skin agents that may increase your skin’s sensitivity.</li></ul><h3>What to Expect During the Procedure?</h3>Knowing what to expect and precautions to take while undergoing microneedling therapy is always helpful. The following are some of the points that you should keep in mind.<ul><li>The healthcare expert makes tiny pricks under the skin using a sterilised pen-like tool with tiny needles during the procedure. The pinpricks are so tiny that you won’t notice them after the procedure.</li><li>An average session of microneedling lasts for approximately 2 hours.</li><li>You may experience skin irritation and redness that may last a few days after the procedure. You can expect this response. So, don’t worry.</li><li>It’s best to avoid sun exposure, skin care products (other than those recommended by an expert), makeup, and heavy sweating during your first week of recovery.</li><li>It’s best that you keep your skin covered and hydrated all the time.</li></ul>Even though it’s not plastic surgery, microneedling therapy requires careful preparation and aftercare to maximise the benefits.&nbsp;Talk to your healthcare provider to know what works best for you.<h2>The Final Thoughts</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/conclusion_3_2_fe16760b5f.jpg" alt="conclusion (3) (2).jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_conclusion_3_2_fe16760b5f.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_conclusion_3_2_fe16760b5f.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">This collagen induction therapy microneedling and other additional therapies similar to microneedling work on your skin amazingly.

<h2>Exploring Chair Yoga and Traditional Yoga Practices</h2>The word meaning of yoga is union. When you practise yoga, it should unite your physical, mental, and spiritual self. Once you adopt practising yoga regularly, you will eventually be able to control both your physical and mental selves.&nbsp;Now, you must wonder whether you will get all these benefits by practising this modified form: chair yoga.So, let's clear up the confusion!<figure class="table" style="width:451.27559055118115pt;"><table><tbody><tr><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;text-align:center;">Traditional Yoga</td><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;text-align:center;">Chair Yoga</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;vertical-align:top;">Traditional yoga appreciates an extensive involvement of different body parts during a physical posture.</td><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;vertical-align:top;">Chair yoga was born out of adaptability. This means that chair yoga is more friendly—anyone with less flexibility benefits from the positive outcomes.</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;vertical-align:top;">More than physical posture, traditional yoga emphasises the mind-body connection with controlled breathing techniques and spirituality.</td><td style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:5pt;vertical-align:top;">The best thing is that even chair yoga concentrates on breathing techniques, mindfulness, and relaxation for mind-body connection.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Are you still deciding? If you wish to know more about the unique merits and demerits of both chair and traditional yoga, read on!<h2>Chair Yoga and Traditional Yoga: Finding the Right Fit</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/2_7_9db7f8fd44.jpg" alt="2 (7).jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_2_7_9db7f8fd44.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_2_7_9db7f8fd44.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Finding the right fit is relatively easy if you know what you wish to transform yourself into! If not Spiderman or Superman, you will be as flexible as a flower and mindful as a saint with any yogic practice. However, there are some limitations to both these styles,&nbsp;which you must know to make the right choice.<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre>Let's check out some pros and cons of traditional and chair yoga.<h3>Chair Yoga Pros</h3><h4>Accessibility&nbsp;</h4>Chair yoga can be a fantastic option for people with limited mobility, seniors, and recovering from injuries. Using a chair as a prop provides a stable base for your practice and makes yoga accessible to a broader audience.&nbsp;<h4>Adaptability</h4>Chair yoga practice is perfect for people with varying physical abilities as it allows for posture modifications. The adaptability of chair yoga ensures a comfortable yet challenging yoga experience tailored to your needs. So, whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, try chair yoga and feel the difference in your mind and body.<h4>Gentle on Joints</h4>Not only is chair yoga perfect for those with arthritis or joint issues, but it's also a great way to improve joint flexibility, strength, and balance. Using a chair for support, you can flow through a series of gentle movements that will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.<h4>Inclusive Community</h4>Chair yoga creates a space where people of all fitness levels and physical conditions can collaborate and practice, promoting a supportive and non-intimidating environment. So, whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting, chair yoga is a great way to connect with others and improve your overall well-being.These are significant benefits of chair yoga over traditional yoga.<h3>Chair Yoga Cons</h3><h4>Intensity Limitation</h4>Chair yoga may not give you the same heart-pumping, sweat-inducing workout as traditional yoga.<h4>Limited Range of Poses</h4>Because you're using a chair to support yourself, some poses may be off-limits, limiting the variety and excitement in your practice.<h3>Traditional Yoga Pros</h3><h4>Holistic Health Benefits</h4>Yes, traditional yoga is entirely holistic. Traditional yoga doesn't just concentrate on perfecting postures; its significant benefits come from mental and spiritual aspects. Traditional yoga is a complete package of Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Yama (controlling desires) and Niyama (the rules to guide you on your life's journey).<h4>Strength and Flexibility</h4>Most of the postures in traditional yoga can be completely weight-bearing. It means that you will ultimately work out your muscles and joints without support from props like chairs. So, eventually, it increases your strength and flexibility to the maximum.<h4>Stress Reduction</h4>More than perfecting postures, traditional yoga emphasises controlling your breathing. It creates a balance in your inner energy and thus has a significant effect on your stress hormones.<h3>Traditional Yoga Cons</h3><h4>Physical Demands</h4>While many health benefits are associated with this ancient practice, some traditional yoga styles are demanding. They require a certain level of physical fitness and flexibility that may pose a challenge for beginners or those with physical limitations.&nbsp;<h4>Learning Curve - Mental Frustration</h4>Yoga is a great way to relax and stay healthy, but let's face it - some of those traditional poses can be pretty complex! Learning the unique ways of practising yoga can be challenging for beginners. Without the proper guidance, it's easy to get frustrated or even risk injury.&nbsp;Ultimately, the decision is yours. Consider your current physical condition, fitness level, and experience when choosing between chair and traditional yoga. If you are going for an accessible practice of gentle movements, then chair yoga can be your perfect fit. Alternatively, traditional yoga can be your call if you seek a complete holistic well-being with yoga.Which type of yoga style will fit you? Let us make it a little easier for you.<h2>Choosing Between Chair Yoga and Traditional Yoga</h2>The first thing you must do when you start deciding between chair yoga and traditional yoga is to evaluate yourself.Check which type of yoga aligns better with your physical abilities, health conditions, personal preferences and goals.Here is a guideline to help you with it.<h3>Question 1:&nbsp;Is it Flexible for Any Physical Abilities?</h3>Here's the answer,<ul><li>If you're dealing with limited mobility, balance issues, or difficulty getting up and down from the floor, chair Yoga might be your perfect match.&nbsp;</li><li>On the other hand, traditional yoga might be the way to go if you're looking for a challenge and have a higher level of physical fitness and flexibility. It involves many postures that require standing, balancing, and moving on the floor.</li></ul><h3>Question 2:&nbsp;Is it Adaptable to any Health Conditions?</h3>Choosing which yoga style is right for you sometimes depends entirely on your health condition.&nbsp;<ul><li>If you're dealing with chronic conditions, injuries, or medical concerns like arthritis, back pain, or joint issues, chair yoga might be the perfect fit.&nbsp;</li><li>Contrary to it, traditional yoga can be adapted to suit your needs if you're generally healthy but have certain limitations.&nbsp;</li></ul>However, consulting with a healthcare professional or an experienced yoga instructor before starting the practice is crucial, especially if you have specific health concerns.<h3>Question 3:&nbsp;Are Personal Preferences and Goals Considered?</h3>Yes, individualisation and personal preferences are important aspects to pay attention to.<ul><li>If you prefer a more relaxed and gentle practice with an equal focus on flexibility and mindfulness, choose chair yoga.</li><li>Instead, traditional yoga will be great for you if you wish to experience something dynamic, including balancing and challenging postures.</li></ul>Whatever you choose, practising yoga will bring joy to your life!Now, do you wish to learn what poses you can practise with these two styles of yoga?

And this also means you can safely stretch and expand more, gradually improving your flexibility.<h3>Alignment</h3>When you drape yoga straps around or keep that bolster under your back, you get a good alignment. Spinal alignment is an essential aspect of improving relaxation and flexibility.<h3>Gravity-Assisted Relaxation</h3>A prop support under your neck lets the force of gravity work its magic. For instance, using a bolster in a reclined pose can help open up your chest and shoulders while calming.<h3>Tension Release</h3>Using props can also help with tension release, as they take most of the pressure and stress off your body. It allows your muscles to relax and stretch freely, which can be especially beneficial for those experiencing neck pain.<h3>Blood Flow</h3>Another great benefit of using props is that they can help blood flow to the neck region. Using a pillow or blocks to support your neck in specific postures can increase blood nutrients and oxygen supply to the muscles and other tissues, promoting relaxation and recovery.So, get help with yoga accessories to get that maximum relaxation and flexibility you seek.Wait! Before you shop for yoga props for neck pain, look for the best ones according to your needs.<h2>How Can You Select the Right Props for Your Needs?</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Selecting_the_Right_Props_for_Your_Needs_01784375eb.jpg" alt="Selecting the Right Props for Your Needs.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Selecting_the_Right_Props_for_Your_Needs_01784375eb.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Selecting_the_Right_Props_for_Your_Needs_01784375eb.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">If you need assistance understanding what props may work for your needs, you must take tips from your instructor.In general, look for the following:<h3>Individual Needs</h3>Think about your own needs.

Blankets cushion you. Straps help you stretch. Wheels help you massage and stretch.<h3>Comfort</h3>Think about what feels comfortable for you. Consider how soft the cushions are, how much grip you need, and how much you can stretch the strap.<h3>Neck Issues to Address</h3>You may need props according to neck discomfort level or type. You might need bolsters or blankets if your neck is tight or tense. You might need blocks if you can't move your neck very much. If you need help with alignment, you might need straps.<h3>Experiment</h3>It's okay to try new props sometimes. Just make sure you choose props that are right for your level. For example, if you're new to yoga, there might be better choices than yoga wheels.<h3>Know When to Stop</h3>Be careful not to hurt yourself. Take it slow and pay attention to how your body feels.

Gallstones can range from tiny particles to larger stones like golf balls.&nbsp;They can cause various symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.&nbsp;Potential complications of gallstones include;<ul><li>Inflammation of the gallbladder: If a gallstone blocks its opening, it can cause inflammation and pain. This leads to a condition known as acute cholecystitis and may require surgical removal of the gallbladder.</li><li>Bile duct obstruction:&nbsp;A gallstone can also block the bile duct, which can cause pain, inflammation, and even jaundice. This can require emergency medical attention to remove the blockage.</li><li>Pancreatitis:&nbsp;In rare cases, a gallstone can pass through the bile duct and block the pancreatic duct, leading to pancreas inflammation, causing severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and requiring prompt medical attention.</li><li>Gallbladder Cancer: While rare, long-standing <a href="https://www.nirvahealth.com/blog/link-between-gallbladder-and-heartburn">gallbladder inflammation</a> due to gallstones can increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer.</li><li>Other Complications:&nbsp;Gallstones can also cause digestive issues, such as bloating and diarrhoea, and may increase the risk of developing other digestive disorders, such as <a href="https://www.nirvahealth.com/blog/ayurveda-solution-for-ibs">irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)</a>.</li></ul><h2>Some of the possible risk factors for gallstone formation are:</h2><ul><li>Obesity, especially in women.</li><li>Age over 40.</li><li>Family history of gallstones.</li><li>Sedentary lifestyle.</li><li>High-fat diet.</li><li>Certain medical conditions like diabetes and liver disease.</li></ul>Gallstones can also develop during pregnancy due to hormonal changes that affect the gallbladder.Did you know that certain factors can increase your risk of developing gallstones? Obesity, especially in women, is a common risk factor, as is age over 40. If your family has a history of gallstones, you might be more likely to develop them as well.Living a sedentary lifestyle and consuming a high-fat diet can also increase your risk of gallstone formation. If you spend a lot of time sitting or eating fatty foods, you should take steps to reduce your risk.While you may not be able to control these risk factors, being aware of them can help you make lifestyle choices that can reduce your risk of developing gallstones.<h2>Ayurvedic View on Gallstones</h2>Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine which offers a holistic approach to healing and treating gallstones that can complement conventional medical treatments.&nbsp;<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre>In Ayurveda, gallstones are believed to be caused by an imbalance of the three doshas, also known as the vital forces of the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.According to Ayurveda, the formation of gallstones is primarily due to an excess of Pitta dosha, which is one of the three fundamental energies responsible for the digestion and metabolism of food in your body. When Pitta gets aggravated, it accumulates bile, which can then crystallise into gallstones.&nbsp;Does that mean Pitta alone contributes to the formation of gallstones in your body? Of course not! Other factors can also contribute to the formation of gallstones. For example, an excess of Kapha dosha can cause sluggishness in the gallbladder, accumulating bile that can lead to the formation of stones.Vata dosha can also be a contributing factor, as it can cause dryness and inflammation in the gallbladder.To treat gallstones in Ayurveda, the approach is to balance the doshas and improve digestion.&nbsp;Ayurvedic treatments may include - dietary changes, herbal remedies, and lifestyle modifications.<ul><li>For Pitta dosha,</li></ul>Cooling herbs like coriander, fennel, and liquorice can help reduce inflammation and balance digestive fire.&nbsp;<ul><li>For Kapha dosha,</li></ul>Warming herbs like ginger and cinnamon can stimulate digestion and help evident sluggishness in the gallbladder.<ul><li>For Vata dosha,</li></ul>Moisturising and nourishing herbs like ashwagandha and ghee can help to lubricate and soothe the gallbladder.In addition to herbal remedies, Ayurvedic practitioners may also recommend lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress reduction techniques, and maintaining a regular eating schedule, to support the overall balance of the doshas and promote optimal digestive function.<h2>The Benefits of Using Ayurveda to Treat Gallstones</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/The_Benefits_of_Using_Ayurveda_to_Treat_Gallstones_28bfdee9ae.png" alt="The Benefits of Using Ayurveda to Treat Gallstones.png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_The_Benefits_of_Using_Ayurveda_to_Treat_Gallstones_28bfdee9ae.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_The_Benefits_of_Using_Ayurveda_to_Treat_Gallstones_28bfdee9ae.png 500w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/medium_The_Benefits_of_Using_Ayurveda_to_Treat_Gallstones_28bfdee9ae.png 750w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/large_The_Benefits_of_Using_Ayurveda_to_Treat_Gallstones_28bfdee9ae.png 1000w," sizes="100vw">Ayurvedic treatments offer a natural and gentle approach to healing that addresses the symptoms of gallstones and promotes overall <a href="https://www.nirvahealth.com/blog/holistic-functional-Integrative-medicine">health and wellness.</a> Ayurvedic treatments for gallstones aim to address the underlying cause of gallstones by balancing the doshas (energies) in the body and promoting detoxification.One potential advantage of using Ayurveda to treat gallstones is&nbsp;the focus on natural remedies and holistic healing.&nbsp;In Ayurveda, the focus is on finding the root cause of the problem and balancing the energies in the body.

Depending on the severity of your condition, your doctor may recommend medications to manage symptoms or surgery to remove the gallbladder. But in most cases, alternative treatments like Ayurveda may be combined with conventional medical treatments to provide a holistic approach to healing.<h2>Conclusion</h2>In conclusion, Ayurveda views gallstones as a result of an imbalance in the three doshas, particularly an excess of Pitta dosha.&nbsp;To treat gallstones, Ayurvedic practitioners at Nirva aim to balance the doshas and improve digestion through dietary changes, herbal remedies, and lifestyle modifications.&nbsp;By addressing the root cause of the condition and promoting overall health and wellness, Ayurvedic treatments for gallstones can offer a holistic approach to managing this common digestive disorder.

Vata is responsible for essential bodily functions such as circulation, respiration, and cell communication. Vata manages movement in the function aspect of your system.Here are some interesting facts about vata dosha:Vata, when balanced, ensures smooth functioning and well-being. However, when this vibrant force goes astray, imbalances can occur.&nbsp;Once the balance of vata is disturbed, it also affects the balance of pitta and kapha. Thus, this disrupts the harmonious energy flow and leads to physical and mental disturbances.<h3>Vata Imbalances: Paving the Way to Diseases</h3>When Vata dosha becomes imbalanced, it also causes an imbalance in pitta and kapha doshas. Once it takes dominance, it can give rise to a distinct category of Vata-dominant diseases.Understanding the difference between Vata Prakriti( body constitution) and Vata-dominant diseases is crucial in Ayurveda.&nbsp;"While Vata Prakriti represents a person's inherent constitution, Vata dominant diseases require specific treatments tailored to pacify and balance the aggravated Vata."Here are a few examples of diseases caused by vata imbalance:<ul><li>Joint Disorders:&nbsp;Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative joint disorders.</li><li>Digestive Disorders:&nbsp;Gas troubles, bloating and constipation.</li><li>Respiratory Issues:&nbsp;Asthma, COPD.</li><li>Skin Problems:&nbsp;Dry skin, fissures, cracks, and brittle nails.</li><li>Hormonal Imbalances:&nbsp;Infertility, menstrual abnormalities.</li><li>Psychological Disorders:&nbsp;Anxiety, depression.</li><li>Nervous System Disorders:&nbsp;Insomnia, panic attacks.</li></ul><h2>Vata Diet in Ayurveda: Role and Relevance</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/LOOKING_FOR_A_PERFECT_VATA_DIET_KNOW_WHY_AYURVEDA_CAN_BE_YOUR_BEST_CHOICE_9c880b1567.png" alt="LOOKING FOR A PERFECT VATA DIET_ KNOW WHY AYURVEDA CAN BE YOUR BEST CHOICE.png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_LOOKING_FOR_A_PERFECT_VATA_DIET_KNOW_WHY_AYURVEDA_CAN_BE_YOUR_BEST_CHOICE_9c880b1567.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_LOOKING_FOR_A_PERFECT_VATA_DIET_KNOW_WHY_AYURVEDA_CAN_BE_YOUR_BEST_CHOICE_9c880b1567.png 500w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/medium_LOOKING_FOR_A_PERFECT_VATA_DIET_KNOW_WHY_AYURVEDA_CAN_BE_YOUR_BEST_CHOICE_9c880b1567.png 750w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/large_LOOKING_FOR_A_PERFECT_VATA_DIET_KNOW_WHY_AYURVEDA_CAN_BE_YOUR_BEST_CHOICE_9c880b1567.png 1000w," sizes="100vw">The Vata pacifying diet involves making conscious food choices that calm and balance the inherent qualities of Vata, such as dryness, coldness, and irregularity. The Vata diet holds transformative potential, offering a path to balance, nourishment, and vibrant health.<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre><h3>Foods to Consume</h3>This diet emphasises nourishing, grounding, warming, and moist foods.<ul><li>It includes abundant cooked vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (such as ghee or sesame oil), warming spices (like ginger, cinnamon, and cumin), and well-cooked, easily digestible proteins. &nbsp;</li><li>Vata holds the property of coldness, so eating warm or served hot foods has added benefits in balancing vata. These nourishing foods work harmoniously to maintain warmth, support optimal digestion, and promote efficient elimination. &nbsp;</li><li>Include sweet, salt, and sour tastes in your diet in moderation. Natural sources of sweet foods can nourish and soothe, restoring Vata's delicate balance. &nbsp;</li><li>Including natural and healthy salts can add depth and stability, pacifying Vata's inherent dryness. Sour foods help in harmonising Vata's lightness.</li></ul><h3>Foods to Avoid</h3><ul><li>Foods that have a drying effect, like dry fruits, crackers, etc, can increase the aggravation of vata. &nbsp;</li><li>Limit your intake of overly light and airy foods, including carbonated drinks, fried chips, rice cakes, etc. &nbsp;</li><li>Foods that are excessively cold or have a cooling nature, including ice-cold beverages, frozen desserts, ice creams and raw salads, can dampen your digestive fire and contribute to Vata imbalances. &nbsp;</li><li>Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, including processed foods-tinned/canned foods, and deep-fried foods. &nbsp;</li><li>Alcohol and stimulants like energy drinks and caffeine are not recommended in a Vata diet as they increase qualities of vata like dryness, restlessness and irregularity.</li></ul><h3>How to Make Your Meal Vata-Friendly?&nbsp;</h3>Have you ever experienced vata-aggravated symptoms like bloating, gas trouble or constipation after having your favourite meal?&nbsp;If yes, fear not! Ayurveda offers solutions! Through simple diet modifications, you can transform foods into Vata-pacifying delights.&nbsp;A generous drizzle of oil, a dollop of ghee, or the infusion of digestive spices can make all the difference. Serving them hot adds an extra touch of Vata-calming magic.<h2>Ayurveda Perspective on the Vata Diet Plan</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Ayurveda_perspective_on_Vata_diet_plan_eating_what_is_right_for_you_1_3f02e38da0.png" alt="Ayurveda perspective on Vata diet plan-eating what is right for you!

However, these meals should be manageable size. It's also important to satisfy your hunger with vata-friendly snacks whenever needed.Vata's unpredictable nature calls for more frequent meals, every three hours, as a gentle caress for your soul. The tendency to skip meals leads to low blood sugar, producing more significant anxiety, overwhelm and irritability. By nourishing yourself regularly, you protect yourself from the shadows of restlessness and irritability.Note:&nbsp;&nbsp;Keep your meal timings regular. Otherwise, they will give your stomach a chance of acidity.<h2>To Conclude</h2>The Ayurveda Vata diet promotes balance and vitality for those with a Vata constitution or aggravation. It emphasises warm and cooked foods, healthy fats, grounding spices, and sweet and sour flavours to create harmony within the body. Including cooked whole grains, nourishing soups, and warm spices supports digestion and stability for the Vata dosha. Mindful eating and hydration also aid in Vata balance. The Vata diet is not a strict set of rules but a way to honour individual needs and find nourishment for equilibrium.

<h2>Acid Reflux: Unmasking the Culprit</h2>Acid reflux, also known as GERD/gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a condition characterised by the backflow of stomach acid into the food pipe and is associated with symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, coughing, and throat burning. To read more about GERD (link to GERD blog).In Ayurveda, acid reflux is referred to as&nbsp;Amlapitta, which is associated with imbalances in the bioenergies - Vata and Pitta doshas. Pitta dosha imbalance can lead to increased<ul><li>Acidity in the stomach</li><li>Hormonal disturbances</li><li>Release of stress hormones</li></ul>The imbalanced pitta dosha, in turn, cause the other bioenergies to vitiate, leading to various symptoms like:<ul><li>Upset stomach</li><li>Regurgitation</li><li>Loss of appetite</li><li>Irritability</li><li>Insomnia</li><li>Physical discomfort</li><li>Emotional imbalances</li></ul><h2>Palpitation: Dealing with an Unhealthy Rhythm</h2><img class="image_resized" style="width:50%;" src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Dealing_with_an_Unhealthy_Rhythm_c7e343e2d7.png" alt="Dealing with an Unhealthy Rhythm.png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Dealing_with_an_Unhealthy_Rhythm_c7e343e2d7.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Dealing_with_an_Unhealthy_Rhythm_c7e343e2d7.png 500w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/medium_Dealing_with_an_Unhealthy_Rhythm_c7e343e2d7.png 750w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/large_Dealing_with_an_Unhealthy_Rhythm_c7e343e2d7.png 1000w," sizes="100vw">Palpitation refers to the sensation of irregular or rapid heartbeats. Sometimes, it manifests as a fleeting flutter in the chest and presents like a more pronounced pounding in other cases.They can be caused by various factors, including:<ul><li>Anxiety</li><li>Stress</li><li>Strenuous physical activity</li><li>Caffeine</li><li>Certain medications</li></ul>Does that mean all palpitations are dangerous? Fear not!While most palpitations are not life-threatening, it is essential to differentiate between harmless episodes and those that may signal an underlying heart condition.Concerning palpitations may indicate an underlying heart issue that requires medical attention.

<h2>Understanding Weight Loss after Hysterectomy</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Understanding_weight_loss_after_hysterectomy_3dadae3f86.png" alt="Understanding weight loss after hysterectomy.png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Understanding_weight_loss_after_hysterectomy_3dadae3f86.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Understanding_weight_loss_after_hysterectomy_3dadae3f86.png 500w," sizes="100vw">Weight loss after Hysterectomy can be complex and challenging for many women. Several factors contribute to weight gain after this procedure, including hormonal changes and lifestyle adjustments.&nbsp;Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to metabolism and fat storage fluctuations. These may promote weight gain. Some of the reasons are:<ul><li>Lifestyle changes following the surgery. After the surgery, a woman gets advised to rest. Some women may experience reduced physical activity due to fear of discomfort, leading to decreased calorie expenditure.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>Additionally, emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, or changes in body image might accelerate unhealthy eating habits. These habits further contribute to weight gain. &nbsp;</li><li>Some women might also face muscle weakness or core instability after the surgery. As a result, this affects their exercise routines.</li></ul><h3>What Will Help?</h3>It would help if you kept patient and persistent. Despite all these challenges, it is crucial to recognise that weight loss is achievable and essential for overall well-being.&nbsp;Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of certain health conditions. It further boosts self-confidence and improves quality of life. You can make some simple lifestyle adjustments to promote gradual and sustainable weight loss:&nbsp;<ul><li>Adopting a balanced diet,</li><li>Engaging in low-impact exercises and</li><li>Practising Yoga.</li></ul><h2>How to Lose Weight After Hysterectomy?</h2>Losing weight after a hysterectomy can be a gradual and rewarding process with the right approach. It is essential to adopt practical tips and lifestyle changes.<h3>Practical Tips for Healthy and Sustainable Weight Loss After Hysterectomy</h3><ul><li>Maintain a balanced diet, emphasising whole foods, lean proteins, and nutrient-dense options. &nbsp;</li><li>Avoid processed and sugary foods to keep calories in check. &nbsp;</li><li>Focus on consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. &nbsp;</li><li>Engage in low-impact activities like walking, swimming, etc. &nbsp;</li><li>Prioritise gradually building core strength and muscle tone, considering any physical limitations from the surgery.</li></ul>Setting realistic goals is vital to a successful weight loss journey. Avoid overly ambitious targets and embrace small, achievable milestones. Patience is essential, as weight loss might be slower due to hormonal changes and recovery.<h3>Coping with Weight Gain after Hysterectomy</h3><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Coping_with_Weight_Gain_after_Hysterectomy_2_75a5c75911.png" alt="Coping with Weight Gain after Hysterectomy (2).png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Coping_with_Weight_Gain_after_Hysterectomy_2_75a5c75911.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Coping_with_Weight_Gain_after_Hysterectomy_2_75a5c75911.png 500w," sizes="100vw">Experiencing weight gain after a hysterectomy can be emotionally challenging for many women. But it's important to remember that you are not alone in this journey. Encouragement and understanding are crucial to navigate through this phase successfully.<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre><h2>Strategies for Managing Stress and Emotional Eating:</h2><ul><li>Practise mindfulness techniques like deep breathing and meditation to reduce stress. &nbsp;</li><li>Try redirecting your thoughts, reaching out to a friend, or walking. &nbsp;</li><li>Consider practising pranayama. &nbsp;</li><li>Engage in hobbies or activities that bring joy and help alleviate emotional distress. &nbsp;</li><li>Keep a journal to express feelings and thoughts, promoting emotional release. &nbsp;</li><li>Seek professional support, such as counselling or therapy, to address emotional challenges effectively.</li></ul><h2>Role of Support Systems in Coping with Weight Gain</h2><ul><li>Friends and family can provide a strong support network to lean on during difficult times. &nbsp;</li><li>Participate in support groups or online communities for shared understanding and encouragement with individuals facing similar experiences. &nbsp;</li><li>Share your concerns with loved ones and allow them to support your weight loss journey. &nbsp;</li><li>Surround yourself with positive and uplifting individuals who can motivate and inspire you.</li></ul>Coping with weight gain after a hysterectomy requires patience and self-compassion.

Does everyone gain weight after a hysterectomy? It is a common myth that all women will inevitably gain weight after undergoing a hysterectomy. However, research and evidence-based information clearly state otherwise.<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851125/">Studies</a>&nbsp;have shown that not all women experience weight gain after a hysterectomy. Individual differences significantly affect how a woman's body responds to the procedure. Hormonal changes post-surgery can impact metabolism and fat distribution, but they do not guarantee weight gain for every woman.The connection between Hysterectomy and weight changes is multifaceted. While some women may experience weight gain due to hormonal fluctuations, others might lose weight because of alleviated pain or improved quality of life, leading to increased physical activity and healthier lifestyle choices.Lifestyle factors like diet and exercise are crucial in weight management after Hysterectomy. Engaging in regular physical activity, adopting a balanced diet, and managing stress are essential for promoting overall well-being.It is essential to debunk common misconceptions surrounding Hysterectomy and weight gain. The connection between the two is unique for all women. And you should take into account the individual differences.<h2>Rapid Weight Loss After Hysterectomy: What You Should Know</h2>Rapid weight loss after a hysterectomy is a topic that raises valid concerns among women. While weight management is essential for overall health, rapid weight changes can be risky and potentially harmful. Understanding the importance of healthy and gradual weight loss after Hysterectomy is very relevant.<h3>Addressing Concerns and Potential Risks</h3>Rapid weight loss can lead to nutrient deficiencies and muscle loss, affecting overall health and well-being. It may also strain the body's healing process after surgery.<h3>The Goal of&nbsp;Healthy and Gradual Weight Loss</h3>Instead of focusing on quick results, aim for steady and sustainable weight loss. Gradual changes in diet and exercise can help the body adjust and maintain a healthy balance.<h3>Recognising Signs of Unhealthy Weight Loss&nbsp;</h3>Watch out for signs of extreme calorie restriction, excessive exercise, or rapid fluctuations in weight. If you are experiencing a slow metabolism, weakened immune system, etc., your weight loss is unhealthy. Unhealthy weight loss can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health issues.<h3>Importance of Seeking Professional Advice</h3>If you need more clarification about your weight loss experience concerning symptoms, consult a healthcare professional. They can assess your needs, monitor progress, and provide personalised guidance.Weight management is essential after a hysterectomy; rapid weight loss is not the goal. Emphasise the significance of healthy and gradual changes for long-term well-being. Recognise signs of unhealthy weight loss and seek professional advice when necessary.<h2>Thriving Post-Hysterectomy: Beyond Weight Loss</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Thriving_Post_Hysterectomy_Beyond_Weight_Loss_b2d5111845.png" alt="Thriving Post-Hysterectomy_ Beyond Weight Loss.png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Thriving_Post_Hysterectomy_Beyond_Weight_Loss_b2d5111845.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Thriving_Post_Hysterectomy_Beyond_Weight_Loss_b2d5111845.png 500w," sizes="100vw">Post- hysterectomy period allows women to embrace overall well-being and thrive in various aspects of life. Shifting the focus from solely weight loss to a holistic approach will enable women to celebrate their post-hysterectomy journey and discover newfound strengths.<h3>Embracing Overall Well-Being</h3>Thriving after a hysterectomy involves nurturing physical, emotional, and mental health. It's about embracing self-care, positive lifestyle changes, and prioritising mental well-being. Women can focus on improving their overall health and quality of life rather than getting fixated on weight loss alone.<h3>Positive Influence on Various Aspects of Life</h3>Post-hysterectomy, many women experience increased energy levels as they are relieved from chronic pain or discomfort. With improved health, they can engage in activities they once avoided. This newfound energy can be channelled into pursuing hobbies, spending quality time with loved ones, and achieving personal goals.Moreover, the procedure can lead to improved body confidence. Women may find liberation from health issues that once hindered their self-esteem. Embracing body changes with acceptance and love empowers them to feel confident and beautiful in their skin.<h3>Celebrating Newfound Strengths</h3>Women who undergo a hysterectomy demonstrate tremendous strength and resilience. Embracing this transformative phase and recognising their ability to overcome challenges reinforces a positive mindset. Celebrating their newfound strengths allows them to face life with renewed vigour and confidence.Life after a hysterectomy extends beyond weight loss and encompasses overall well-being. Embracing physical health, emotional balance, and mental strength allows women to lead fulfilling lives.<h2>Yoga for Weight Loss After Hysterectomy</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/yoga_2_07fc418f27.png" alt="yoga (2).png" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_yoga_2_07fc418f27.png 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_yoga_2_07fc418f27.png 500w," sizes="100vw">You should include Yoga as a lifestyle change in your post-hysterectomy period. In the initial stages, you can even practise Pranayama and mild asanas. Once you gain your strength back and after the rest period, practise asanas such as:&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>Pavanamuktasana</li><li>Tadasana</li><li>Baddha Konasana</li><li>Upavistha Konasana</li><li>Virabhadrasana</li><li>Vrikshasana</li><li>Uttana asana</li><li>Adho Mukha svanasana</li><li>Gomukhasana</li></ul>At Nirva, our Yoga experts guide you through your needs.

These essential electrolytes are a requirement for proper muscle function. Excessive sugar consumption may lead to inflammation and oxidative stress. Both can contribute to muscle cramps, sudden and involuntary contractions of one or more muscles, often causing pain and discomfort.Understanding why you get cramps soon after taking sugar can help you make healthy dietary choices and adopt lifestyles to reduce the likelihood of experiencing muscle cramps after consuming sugary foods and beverages.&nbsp;<h2>All You Should Know About Sugar and Joint Health</h2>Emerging evidence from recent research suggests that sugar may also contribute to joint discomfort. Individuals have reported experiencing body aches after eating sugar, which has sparked interest in understanding the potential connection between the two."Can sugar cause joint pain?" has also become common among those seeking answers to their mysterious discomforts. High sugar intake can lead to chronic inflammation and increased levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are linked to joint inflammation and cartilage damage. By delving into this complex relationship, we can make informed choices about our dietary habits to support better joint health and overall well-being.<h2>Why Do You Experience Late Night Leg Cramps After Sugar Consumption?</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Why_Do_You_Experience_Late_Night_Leg_Cramps_After_Sugar_Consumption_74827d092a.jpg" alt="Why Do You Experience Late Night Leg Cramps After Sugar Consumption.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Why_Do_You_Experience_Late_Night_Leg_Cramps_After_Sugar_Consumption_74827d092a.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Why_Do_You_Experience_Late_Night_Leg_Cramps_After_Sugar_Consumption_74827d092a.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">If you've ever experienced the discomfort of leg cramps striking during the night after a bit too much of all those sugar treats, it may be a contributing factor to these late-night muscle spasms! Many have wondered, "Can sugar cause leg cramps at night?" and "Is there a connection between leg pain and eating sugar?"Emerging research suggests that there could indeed be a link. Consuming high amounts of sugar can lead to fluctuations in blood glucose levels, affecting electrolyte balance. Doing so adversely affects the functions of muscles. Sugar's impact on inflammatory responses and nerve signalling may contribute to nocturnal leg cramps. Taking proactive steps towards managing our sugar intake can alleviate the mystery of nighttime leg cramps.<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre><h2>Solving the Unsolved Aftermath: Sugar and Muscle Pain</h2>The link between sugar consumption and post-sugar muscle pain has garnered attention from health enthusiasts seeking answers to their discomfort - experiencing this perplexing aftermath. High sugar intake can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress, contributing to muscle soreness and pain.&nbsp;Additionally, sugar's impact on electrolyte balance can affect minerals essential for proper muscle function.

<h2>Understanding the Connection Between Menopause and Heart Health</h2>As stated in the above section, menopause can affect your heart health. The critical way of influence is hormonal fluctuations. However, other factors during menopause can also affect your heart health.&nbsp;Let's take a look at some of how menopausal changes can affect your heart health:<h3>Estrogen And Heart</h3><ul><li>Estrogen maintains the flexibility of blood vessels.&nbsp;</li><li>It promotes vasodilation, which is the relaxation of blood vessels.&nbsp;</li><li>It helps to regulate blood flow and reduce blood pressure.</li><li>Our body has good cholesterol(HDL) and bad cholesterol(LDL). Estrogen helps increase HDL levels and decrease LDL levels.</li><li>Decrease in fibrosis, angiogenesis and vasodilation stimulation, mitochondrial function enhancement and oxidative stress reduction.</li></ul><h3>Effects of Hormonal Changes</h3><ul><li>During menopause, estrogen level decreases, leading to changes in blood vessel structure and functions.&nbsp;</li><li>These might lead to the hardening and thickening of arterial walls, resulting in the narrowing of arteries.</li><li>Changes in hormone levels can cause increased LDL levels and decreased HDL levels in the body. It is not a healthy condition for your heart.</li></ul><h3>Increased Risk Factors</h3><ul><li>Risks of high blood pressure increase after menopause, which affects your heart.</li><li>Many women experience weight gain after menopause. It increases the risk of increased blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.</li></ul><h3>Metabolic Changes</h3><ul><li>Hormonal changes after menopause lead to increased risk of insulin resistance.

<h2>How Practising Yoga Can Help Your Digestive System?</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/2_6_d0828cc729.jpg" alt="2 (6).jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_2_6_d0828cc729.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_2_6_d0828cc729.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Your gut (your stomach and intestines) can be affected by stress, both from your mind and body.It's like a communication system between your gut and your brain. When stressed, your gut can react to problems like tummy aches, diarrhoea, irritable bowels, etc.Now, here is where Yoga comes in:<h3>Stimulating Digestive System</h3>Practising Yoga poses and stretches is like giving a little nudge to your stomach and intestines. The gentle movement can help food and waste move through your digestive system more efficiently. It's like your body needs some exercise to stay fit, as do your insides!<h3>Enhancing Blood Circulation</h3>Yoga also gets your blood flowing better. Think of it like this: your blood carries all the essential stuff your body needs, including nutrients for digestion. So, improving blood circulation through Yoga is like ensuring your digestive organs get all the necessary supplies to work correctly. It helps inadequate absorption of nutrients and water, thus keeping loose stools away.<h3>Promoting Relaxation</h3>Yoga is like a relaxation superhero. It helps calm your mind and body and tells your digestive system to chill out. When you are relaxed, your digestion tends to work smoother, reducing the increased peristalsis or movement of the intestines that can give you loose stools.So, Yoga isn't just about pose and stretching; it's a way to gently exercise your insides, improve blood flow, and tell your tummy to stay calm.All of these together lead to a healthier digestive system.But here's a catch: While some studies suggest Yoga helps with these digestive problems, it needs to be clarified which pose works the best. Most of what we know comes from personal and patient experience.&nbsp;<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre>Let's see what those poses do to improve your gut health and relieve loose stool issues.<h2>5 Yoga Poses for Loose Stools: Grab Your Mat</h2>Please find listed below a series of yoga poses that will help relieve loose stools:<h3>Pavanamukthasana (Wind Relieving Pose)</h3>Pavanamuktasana is a fantastic yoga pose for improving digestion and relieving bloating.<h4>How Does it Help?</h4><ul><li>This pose is like a hug for your belly.

<h2><a href="https://www.nirvahealth.com/blog/natural-remedies-for-hot-flashes">Understanding Hot Flashes and Night Sweats</a></h2>Menopause is a natural transition period. It officially begins when you miss your period for a year. The years that build into Menopause that is, the perimenopause phase, is also a massive period of transition. It is the beginning of puberty. It can bring up different problems and emotions which are individual-specific. Hot flashes and night sweats are the most common and most disturbing symptoms of Menopause.A typical characterisation of hot flashes includes sudden and intense warm sensations which spread all over your body. Flushing of skin in the face, neck and chest often accompanies this. Usually, this lasts from a few seconds to several minutes.The other concerning symptom, night sweats, are the hot flashes during sleep. It results in disrupted sleep due to excessive sweating and drenching of night clothes.<h3>Hormonal Changes and Triggers Affecting Body Temperature</h3>During this natural transition of your body, the hormonal levels of oestrogen and progesterone decline drastically. This decline can affect the temperature control of your body and make your body sensitive to slight changes in your body temperature. This sensitivity causes exaggerated reactions to the minute temperature fluctuations, resulting in hot flashes and night sweats. Some of the trigger factors of these two symptoms are:<ul><li>Stress and anxiety</li><li>Smoking</li><li>Spicy foods</li><li>Caffeine and alcohol</li></ul><h2>The Benefits of Yoga for Menopause Symptoms</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/The_Benefits_of_Yoga_for_Menopause_Symptoms_ac4a8cc6cf.jpg" alt="The Benefits of Yoga for Menopause Symptoms.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_The_Benefits_of_Yoga_for_Menopause_Symptoms_ac4a8cc6cf.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_The_Benefits_of_Yoga_for_Menopause_Symptoms_ac4a8cc6cf.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">From my clinical experiences, I can safely say Yoga works as a fantastic therapy in managing menopausal symptoms. Many studies, including the ones published in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(13)02015-2/abstract">American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecolog</a>y and the journal Menopause, underline the positive impact of Yoga on menopausal women.Overall benefits of Yoga on menopause symptoms include:<ul><li>Reduced cardiovascular risks</li><li>Increased flexibility and strength</li><li>Better bone health</li><li>Promotes sound sleep</li><li>Reduced stress and anxiety</li><li>Manages mood swings effectively</li><li>Improved temperature coping mechanism</li></ul><h2>4 Yoga Poses for Hot Flashes and Night Sweats</h2>As discussed earlier in this blog, hot flashes and night sweats occur due to the improper functioning of your body's temperature regulation due to hormonal imbalance. Hence, practising yoga poses that can help regulate body temperature and reduce stress is the ideal way to practise Yoga for hot flashes and night sweats. Yes, this is the logic behind practising yoga sequences for Menopause, especially practising calming Yoga for hot flashes.Let us look into some of the poses that can help:<h3>Sheetali Pranayama</h3>&nbsp;The word "sheetali" itself means cooling. As the name suggests, it is a cooling breathing exercise and a straightforward practice you can perform anywhere at any time.<ul><li>Sit comfortably with your spine straight.</li><li>Position your tongue's tip on the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth.</li><li>Slowly and deeply inhale through your mouth, producing a hissing sound as you breathe in.</li><li>Hold your breath for a few seconds.</li><li>Gently exhale through your nose.</li><li>Repeat this for 5-10 rounds.</li></ul>Remember always to inhale through your mouth and exhale through your nose.<h4>How Does it Benefit?</h4>It cools the body, improves concentration, increases oxygen intake, and improves digestion. Many women find this Yoga alone very beneficial for dealing with their hot flashes.<h3>Sheetkari Pranayama</h3><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Sheetkari_3ac718ec9e.jpg" alt="Sheetkari.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Sheetkari_3ac718ec9e.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Sheetkari_3ac718ec9e.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">This posture is also similar to sheetali Pranayama. Here, you can practise the same procedure slightly differently. Let us look at how:<ul><li>Sit comfortably with your spine straight.</li><li>Clench your teeth and open your lips.</li><li>Slowly and deeply inhale through your mouth, producing a see-see sound as you breathe in.</li><li>Hold your breath for a few seconds.</li><li>Gently exhale through your nose.</li><li>Repeat this for 5-10 rounds.</li></ul>It has the same benefits as the Sheetali Pranayama.<h3>Horse's Pose (Ashwasanchalanasana)</h3><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/horse_pose_74a61e49da.jpg" alt="horse pose.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_horse_pose_74a61e49da.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_horse_pose_74a61e49da.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw"><ul><li>Stand in a kneeling position, keeping your knees hip-width apart.</li><li>Inhale and extend your right leg back, keeping your right knee bent and the right foot flexed.</li><li>Exhale and lean forward from your hips, bringing your torso over your right thigh.</li><li>Reach your arms forward, keeping your spine long.</li><li>Hold for 3-5 breaths, then repeat on the other side.</li></ul><h3>Pranayama</h3><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Pranayama_663c0827f6.jpg" alt="Pranayama.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Pranayama_663c0827f6.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Pranayama_663c0827f6.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Pranayama is the ultimate Yoga for balancing the pitta in your body. Pitta dosha is responsible for your body's temperature. Pranayama is a helpful practice for managing hot flashes and night sweats during Menopause.<ul><li>Sit in a comfortable place.</li><li>Close your eyes and do initial warm-up breathing, inhalation, and exhalation.</li><li>Once you feel comfortable with the breathing, start practising pranayama techniques like Alternate nostril breathing, Victorious Breathing, Skull shining breathing, etc.</li></ul>By practising these techniques, you can easily regulate your body temperature irrespective of hormonal fluctuations. Experience a hot flash and night sweat-free life. Practice Yoga daily and feel the difference.<h2>The Final Takeaway</h2>Menopause is another experiment you must pass to become stronger as a woman. This phase with imbalanced hormones has the potential to make your life imbalanced; never allow it.Yoga can be a helpful solution for women going through Menopause who experience hot flashes and night sweats. Incorporating simple yoga poses and sequences into a daily routine can relieve discomfort, improve sleep quality, and promote balance. It is essential to listen to your body and find the best practices for you, as Yoga's soothing and empowering practices can support a transformative journey towards wellness.

<h2>Understanding Glycemic Index (GI)</h2>The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly food-related carbohydrates affect blood sugar levels. Low GI means glucose breaks down slowly, thus causing the blood sugars to rise slowly, while high GI foods cause rapid spikes, posing challenges for diabetes management. Although non-carb items like oils, fats, and meats lack a GI, they can still influence blood sugar in individuals with diabetes.<h2>7 Fruits with Low Glycemic Index</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Fruits_with_low_GI_fbac6b3cb6.jpg" alt="Fruits with low GI.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Fruits_with_low_GI_fbac6b3cb6.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Fruits_with_low_GI_fbac6b3cb6.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Including all types of fruits in a diabetes-friendly diet is possible, but prioritising fruits with a low glycemic index could be a favourable option for maintaining stable blood sugar levels.Here are some suggestions of fruits low in GI index value:<h3>Apple</h3>Apples are a hearty choice for a crunchy and sweet snack and have several health benefits. They are a rich source of dietary fibre, and with low GI value, they help regulate blood sugar levels.A medium-sized apple contains:<ul><li>Carbohydrates: 25.1 grams, including 18.9 grams of natural sugar</li><li>Fibre: 4.8 grams.</li><li>Calories: Approximately 94.6.</li><li>Essential nutrients include potassium, vitamin C, specific B vitamins, and diverse antioxidants.</li></ul>Pro-tip: The nutritional content of apples may vary depending on the specific variety.<h3>Cherries</h3>Cherries are a nutritious fruit with notable benefits for your health. They are rich in potassium and antioxidants, known to strengthen your immune system.A cup of cherries with their pits intact offers the following nutritional components.<ul><li>Carbohydrates: Approximately 22.1 grams, of which about 17.7 grams is natural sugar</li><li>Calories: Approximately 86.9 calories per cup</li><li>Dietary Fibre: A notable 2.9 grams.</li><li>Essential Vitamins: Vitamins B, C, and K</li></ul>Pro-Tip: While cherries have a short growing season, you can still enjoy their goodness by opting for frozen cherries without added sugar.<h3>Grapefruit</h3>Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C. A half of a grapefruit offers:<ul><li>Carbohydrates: 10.7 grams</li><li>Calories: 43.7</li></ul>It houses essential nutrients such as calcium, folate, and vitamin APro-Tip: If you're on any prescription medications, it's advisable to consult your doctor before consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as they can potentially interact with your medicines.<h3>Oranges</h3>Oranges can be a great addition to your diet because of their rich vitamin C content and low glycemic index (GI) value.They are available in wide varieties. But, a typical orange weighing about 154 grams provides the following nutritional information:<ul><li>Carbohydrates: 18.2 grams, including 13.8 grams of sugar</li><li>Fibre: 3.4 grams</li><li>Calories: 77</li><li>Vitamin C: 87 milligrams</li></ul>It comprises essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium alongside Vitamin A and an array of antioxidants.Pro-Tip: Choosing whole oranges over orange juice is wise, as they are less likely to cause rapid spikes in blood sugar.<h3>Plums</h3>Plums are known as prunes and are available in fresh and dried plums.A single fresh plum weighing 66 grams provides the following nutritional content:<ul><li>Carbohydrates: 7.5 grams, with 6.5 grams being sugar</li><li>Fibre: 0.9 grams</li><li>Calories: 30.4</li><li>Essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium</li><li>Vitamins C, A, and specific B vitamins</li></ul>Pro-Tip: Prunes are essentially dried plums with their water content removed.

<h2>5 Common Myths About Anti-Inflammatory Diet</h2>Here are 5 such misconceptions that may change your outlook toward an anti-inflammatory diet:<h3>Myth 1: The Anti-Inflammatory Diet is a Fad</h3>Dismissing the notion of a passing trend, the Anti-Inflammatory Diet is firmly grounded in scientific validation. Extensive research backs its origins. After all, it emerges from a commitment to overall health and inflammation reduction—the roots of the anti-inflammatory diet date back to the past, backed up by science. Traditional diets worldwide have always included inflammation-fighting foods, eroding the possibility of any fad talk. Moreover, this isn't about what's trending now; it's about long-term well-being. So, this diet guides you towards a healthier, more mindful lifestyle through food choices.<h3>Myth 2: You Should Avoid All Inflammatory Foods.</h3>People have the misconception that they must cut all foods that cause inflammation in their diets. But this is not true. As you all know, inflammation plays a crucial role in healing. To understand it better, you must know the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, which will help you break this myth. Acute inflammation triggered by factors like injury resolves within a short period. It is beneficial as it safeguards the injured area from further damage. On the other hand, chronic inflammation lasts longer and is associated with many diseases.Maintaining a well-balanced diet is about moderation. Instead of excluding specific foods, focus on the overall variety you eat. This approach promotes a holistic and healthy way of nourishing your body.<h3>Myth 3: The Anti-Inflammatory Diet is Restricted and Boring.</h3>The popular myth about an anti-inflammatory diet - You must address it. Did you know this diet includes all types of colourful fruits and vegetables, a powerhouse of nutrients? For example, berries are rich in antioxidants. You can incorporate them into smoothies or salads.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another critical component, fats, bring a satisfying richness to your meal. To name a few, turmeric and ginger can be incorporated into soups, stews, and curries, giving you a flavourful and tasty diet.When this diet has so much to offer, experimenting with different coloured fruits, vegetables, and spices to create different finger-licking dishes, how can it be monotonous?Try mango salsa with red onion, cilantro, and lime juice as a topping for grilled fish or chicken, and share your experience with us and your friends.The above statement clearly explains that an anti-inflammatory diet could be anything but monotonous.<h3>Myth 4: The Anti-Inflammatory Diet is Only for People with Specific Health Conditions</h3>Unlike the prevailing myth, the Anti-Inflammatory Diet goes beyond rectifying inflammation-related issues. Do you know other health perks of this diet? Have you ever imagined the transformative health journey that awaits you when you embrace the holistic advantage of the anti-inflammatory diet? This diet is nutrition-dense and supports cardiovascular health, immune function and weight management. What makes it even more impactful is the usage of anti-inflammatory spices and antioxidants that enhance overall well-being.Are you prepared to step into a realm of vibrant health by making the Anti-Inflammatory Diet a keystone of your lifestyle? The benefits are boundless, promising a healthier, more energetic you.<h3>Myth 5: Supplements Alone Can Replace the Inflammatory Diets</h3>Thinking that supplements can entirely replace a healthy diet is a misconception. Supplements are valuable, but they work best alongside a balanced diet, not as a stand-alone solution. It's vital to prioritise obtaining essential nutrients from whole foods whenever possible, recognising the unique benefits of natural, nutritious foods to overall health and well-being. The diversity in a balanced diet contributes to overall health by supporting various bodily functions, offering holistic benefits beyond mere nutrient intake.<h2>To Summarise</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/To_Summarise_259b792d86.jpg" alt="To Summarise.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_To_Summarise_259b792d86.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_To_Summarise_259b792d86.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">As you step into the world of the anti-inflammatory diet, remember this: it's about balance, not restriction. Supplements play a role, but they can't replace the richness of a varied diet. Bust the myths and adopt a holistic perspective. Consult a healthcare pro or dietitian for personalised guidance on your journey to well-being. Never forget, self-love. Remember that you are unique, and it's your unique path to health – make it informed and tailored, just like you.&nbsp;

<h2>Opt for Specialised Shampoo</h2>It is well known to all of us that shampoo's prime job is to clean up the dirt and oil from your scalp, making more space between each hair strand. But does that pave the way for a bounce if you have flat hair? Well, as they say, there are no free lunches in life, so if you are someone with thin hair and looking for that volume, you must take some extra steps.Once you get done with the essential step of cleaning your hair, you should opt for specialised shampoos like hair thickening and volumising shampoos. It is one of the best remedies for thinning hair.Out of these two choices, volumising shampoos work better. Confused? Let's simplify things and help you understand the difference between thickening and volumising shampoo.A hair-thickening shampoo will make each strand thicker, creating a fuller look. These shampoos contain protein and collagen that strengthen each strand and make them appear thicker by forming a protective layer around them.On the other hand, the volumising shampoo will make your hair look fuller and bouncier overall. It focuses on improving the texture of your hair as a whole rather than making individual strands thicker.So, go ahead and select the right shampoo if you are aiming to increase the volume.<pre><code class="language-plaintext">cta-dynamic</code></pre><h2>Choose Thickening Hair Products Wisely</h2><ul><li>Elevate your hair thickness by incorporating specialised products post-shower.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>Apply thickening cream to towel-dried hair for added volume, covering each strand to enhance thickness.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>Target dry roots with a volumising spray or dry shampoo for texture and lift. Consider ingredients like hydrolysed oat protein and fatty alcohols while avoiding drying alcohols and silicones, which can weigh hair down.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>Choose a wet thickening product first, followed by a dry volumising product to cater to roots and the hair shaft.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>Be vigilant about checking the ingredients of a haircare product to ensure the best possible outcome for the health of your hair.</li></ul>Pro-Tip: You must ensure that your product is free from alcohol as it tends to flatten the hair even more.<h2>Feed Your Hair for Thickness</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Minimise_Heat_Damage_3b4cfeef50.jpg" alt="Minimise Heat Damage.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Minimise_Heat_Damage_3b4cfeef50.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Minimise_Heat_Damage_3b4cfeef50.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">There is no denying the fact that genetics play a role in hair thickness; does that mean there is no way that you can have voluminous locks? No, you surely can enhance overall fullness and give volume to your hair with a nutrient-rich diet. How can you boost your diet for thicker hair? Include foods high in fatty acids, proteins, and vitamins A, B, C, and E to nourish your hair from within, promoting stronger and thicker strands.&nbsp;<h2>Elevate Hair Volume with Scalp Exfoliation</h2>Boost your hair's volume by prioritising scalp exfoliation and clearing away product buildup through gentle scrubbing. Scrubbing will help increase the blood flow, fostering better hair growth and providing a natural lift to flat locks. Additionally, indulge in scalp massages to improve blood circulation and unclog follicles. These practices contribute to healthier, thicker hair over time, giving you the full-bodied look you are looking for.<h2>Minimise Heat Damage</h2>Cut back on hot tool usage to prevent hair breakage, which is one of the main hindrances in your quest for thick, voluminous hair. If you can't go without blow drying, curling or straightening your hair, you must opt for lower heat settings and apply a heat protectant spray before styling to safeguard your strands.Pro-Tip: Consider alternatives such as air drying or using volumising hair powders to add lift without the risk of heat damage.<h2>Set Up a Morning Hair Wash Routine</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Morning_Hair_Wash_Routine_07634e67a9.jpg" alt="Morning Hair Wash Routine.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Morning_Hair_Wash_Routine_07634e67a9.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Morning_Hair_Wash_Routine_07634e67a9.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Start your day with a refreshing hair wash to enhance volume and vitality. Washing in the morning allows your hair to absorb moisture naturally, leading to a fuller look. Avoid nighttime hair washing to prevent frizz and breakage, promoting healthier locks. Embrace this age-old practice for voluminous, radiant hair every day.<h2>Opt for a Gentle Air Drying Method</h2>Instead of using hot air, choose the cool setting on your hair dryer with the lowest fan speed and a diffuser attachment. This method safeguards your hair against heat damage and preserves its fullness. While it may require more time, this gentle approach promotes healthier-looking hair.Moreover, i<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(13,13,13);font-family:Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;">f your Pitta and Vata doshas rise together, it may lead to increased hair loss. Heat is a contributing factor that can locally elevate Pitta.<h2>Encourage Hair Growth with Scalp Massages</h2>Have you ever heard about 'abhyanga?' Does that sound like something new? The name might be new, but it is an age-old technique; your head massage is called 'Shiro-abhyanga' in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, massage is essential for nourishing your hair.&nbsp;Do you know your scalp comprises 31 energy-relieving points known as marmas, where arteries, veins, and cranial nerves intersect? Massaging these points stimulates blood circulation and helps drain, calm, and relieve pressure in the head region. By stimulating these pressure points through massage, you promote healthy hair growth by enhancing blood flow to the scalp. It is another of the best home remedies for hair growth and thickness.&nbsp;Pro-Tip: Do you know Ayurveda supports daily oil massage on the head as a part of your routine or dinacharya?<h2>Prevent Hair Breakage</h2>Keep your hair strong and healthy by avoiding harsh chemical treatments and excessive heat styling. Coordinate with your stylist to minimise overlapping colour treatments, and consider using bond builders to shield your hair from damage. Limit the use of heat styling tools to maintain the health of your hair and prevent breakage.<h2>Choose Hair-Friendly Styles</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Choose_Hair_Friendly_Styles_1_86a4e340c2.jpg" alt="Choose Hair-Friendly Styles (1).jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Choose_Hair_Friendly_Styles_1_86a4e340c2.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Choose_Hair_Friendly_Styles_1_86a4e340c2.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Choosing hairstyles that minimise tension on the scalp can promote hair growth and volume. Tight hairstyles like ponytails or braids can lead to hair loss. Opting for looser styles or leaving your hair down reduces stress on the hair follicles, allowing for healthier growth. Additionally, incorporating volumising techniques like layering or adding texture can give the appearance of fuller hair.<h2>Harness the Power of Rosemary Oil</h2>Utilise natural oils to help hair growth. Rosemary oil's anti-inflammatory properties stimulate scalp circulation, promoting healthy hair growth. It thickens strands from the roots, improves scalp conditions, and reduces stress, creating an optimal environment for robust hair growth and thickness. Additionally, it enhances blood circulation, nourishes hair follicles, and promotes overall scalp health. Are you excited to try this natural oil that promotes hair growth?Try any of these hair remedies for thinning hair to give it volume.&nbsp;Pro-Tip: You need to be patient to see the change.<h2>To Sum Up</h2>In wrapping up, enhancing hair volume is attainable with strategic methods. Utilise good products for thinning hair and integrate nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens and eggs into your diet for thicker hair strands. Consume food rich in vitamins A, C and E for that volume you have longed for. Embrace gentle styling practices and minimise heat exposure to preserve hair vitality. By committing to these steps, you'll be well on your way to achieving the voluminous hair that turns heads wherever you go.
