How Ayurveda Helps with Stress and Sleep

In Ayurveda, stress and insomnia are often linked to an aggravation of Vata dosha. When Vata (air and ether elements) increases, the mind becomes restless.

The Ayurvedic Approach

To calm the mind, we need to ground Vata.

1. Shirodhara

The continuous pouring of warm oil on the 'Third Eye' point calms the hypothalamus and induces a state of deep relaxation similar to meditation.

2. Abhyangam

Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil calms the nervous system.

3. Diet

Warm, cooked, and unctuous foods help pacify Vata. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods in the evening.

At Kurichiyil, our Stress Relief Package combines these therapies to help you regain your balance and sleep naturally.
