Stress Management
Stress Management
The major cause of all problems in our lives, including physical, mental, social, familial, interpersonal, economic, and spiritual issues, according to Ayurveda, is stress on the body and mind. We can't take advantage of all that life has to offer without Shanti (Peace of Mind). It makes no difference how physically well we are, or how many possessions, relationships, or pleasures we may have. Body and Mind are reflections of one another, not 2 separate entities. All issues with physical health originate in the mind. Additionally, all psychological anxiety and stress manifest in our physical bodies. The goal of the Ayurvedic approach to stress management is to improve overall body relaxation while reducing stress on the nervous system. In addition to Ayurvedic therapies that relieve stress from the brain and nerves, a holistic approach includes adequate diet, yoga, pranayamas, meditation, and lifestyle adjustments. At our ashram, the serene environment and mother nature not only nourish your body and soul but also reset your biological rhythms and mental equilibrium.
Our failure to manage stress, according to Ayurveda, is caused by an imbalance, or lack of coordination, of the three primary mental functions: Dhi (learning), Dhriti (retention), and Smriti (long-term memory), as well as a deficiency of Ojas energy in the body.
By achieving optimal hormonal balance and bolstering mental capacity to better handle stress in the future, the Stress Management Program aims to reduce the stress that has built up over time and increase the body’s level of Ojas.
Stress management techniques we provide for you to lead a stress free life are:
Shiro Dhara
One of the numerous unique medical practises that are frequently used in Kerala to treat psychic and psychosomatic illnesses is called siroseka.
Sirodhara is recommended for stress and psychosomatic illnesses like IBS, as well as for neurological, psychiatric, convulsive, and other disorders including psoriasis, dermatitis, hypertension, and alcoholism. Additionally, patients with vata vyadhi, facial palsy, neuropathy, and memory loss are thought to benefit from sirodhara.
Procedure:
The patient should be lying on his or her back with the Dharapatra positioned four angula above the forehead for sirodhara. To stop fluids from getting into the eyes, cotton should be placed over the ears and eyes.
Dhara goes under several names, including Takradhara, Kshiradhara, Tailadhara, Kvathadhara, and Jaladhara, depending on the pharmacological components.
After a thorough massage, sirodhara is performed in the morning on an empty stomach. The patient should have the liquid repeatedly poured onto his or her forehead while it is kept in the Dharapatra. When the liquid begins to pour, the vessel is swung from one lateral side to the other like a pendulum. The liquid is gathered in a different container and used to fill the dharapatra before it runs out of liquid.
This process is done for at least half an hour in the morning for 21 days.
Sirobasti
In this context, the word “Basti” means “to hold or to keep,” hence in sirobasti, the oil is made to stay on the scalp for a set period of time.
MethodÂ
Purva Karma: It consists of Sambhara Sangraha and Atura Siddhata.
The process of Sodhana by vamana and virechana karma was included in Atura Siddhata. Sirobasti is frequently carried performed without taking the aforementioned precautionary procedures. If the patient has undergone purification, the effectiveness of the treatment is guaranteed.
Sambhara Sangraha consists of the preparation of the carmapatta, the application of masha kalka on the carmapatta, and the wearing of two stripes of clothing.
In this context, the word “Basti” means “to hold or to keep,” hence in sirobasti, the oil is made to stay on the scalp for a set period of time.
Kshiradhara
Kshira (milk) is used as the dhara substance in this method. Milk can be used for dhara either by itself or in combination with other relevant medications.
Medicine preparation:
Yavakut (half dust) of medications such as dashamula, yashthimadhu, ushira, hribera, mustake, chandana, masha, mudga, or other appropriate medications depending on the disease in question is to be taken in a cloth to make a pottali, which is then to be kept in an earthen pot with eight times as much milk and 64 times as much water. Ksirapaka vidhi is to be used to make kvatha; karpura, etc. may be added if necessary. It can now be utilized for dhara purposes.
Shiro abhyanga:
The patient is recommended to sit upright. The masseuse should then approach the patient while standing tall. Warm appropriate oil should be put to the vertex. The masseuse’s fingers are to spread the oil across the parietal and temporal regions. Again, taking into account the size and shape of the skull, oil should be placed into the anterior and occiput, respectively. After applying the oil, the finger pads should be gently massaged. The pressure needs to be applied with enough force to grab the scalp and move along the cranial bones. As needed, use small circular motions, light hacking, pounding, and cupping strokes.
Shiroabhyanga should be performed for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes if it is being done for a head or hair-related condition. Abhyanga can be done for 5-7 minutes on a regular basis.
Indications:
1. Raukshya – dryness of scalp
2. Kandumaladi – itching and filthiness of scalp
3. Khalitya – alopecia
4. Palitya – premature graying of hair
5. Shirah shula – headache, etc.
De-stressing Therapies
Using oils to treat the head in a way that the oil stays in contact with the scalp for a predetermined amount of time is known as moordha taila or murdhini taille. To reap the benefits of the oil, the scalp must be in touch with it for a certain amount of time. A component of Dinacharya includes the practise of murdha tails.
According to Ayurveda, the human body can be compared to an upside-down tree, with the roots at the top and the branches pointing below.
Shiras, also known as the head of an Uttamanga, is the location of the pranaas and all of the Indriyas (head). The Uttamanga is this head (best organ in the body)
Moordha taila
The words for oil or herbal oil are Taila and Moordha, respectively. Hence, Murdhni taila or Moordha taila is a technique for administering head treatments utilizing herbal oils so that the oil stays in touch with the scalp for a predetermined amount of time. To reap the benefits of the oil, the scalp must be in touch with it for a certain amount of time. A component of Dinacharya includes the practice of murdha taila (daily regimen).
Benefits
For the brain, sense organs, nerves, and hair, moordha taila is quite advantageous. This prevents the spread of numerous diseases in addition to treating a variety of conditions affecting the head, neck, and organs described above. In the head, vitiated Vayu and Pitta are controlled by moordha taila.
As a result, Moordha taila serves as a preventative (prophylactic) and therapeutic measure. Because the nerve system and the brain control every bodily function, calming them with the Moordha taila technique will maintain the body strong and healthy. The body’s processes will all run without a hitch. The other endocrine activities are under the direction of moordha taila, which also regulates pituitary activity.
This aids in the efficient operation of the body’s mechanics. Moordha taila calms the anxious and agitated mind and aids in maintaining our composure. Moordha taila aids in the release of pleasant chemicals that enable us to overcome mood swings and live peacefully.
When oil is applied to the head to keep it moist, headaches are prevented (Shira shoola)
* It reduces baldness (khalityam)
* It prevents hair from going grey too soon (paalityam)
* It prevents hair loss (kasha prapatana)
* It promotes hairs to get deep rooted, long, dense, look gorgeous and pitch black in color.
* It preserves the health of the sense organs.
* It enhances the appearance of the skin’s radiance and tone and promotes sound sleep (nidraa labha)
* It eases stress and brings joy and pleasantness of mind (sukham).
Shiro Abhihata-related illnesses are also avoided by murdhini taila, and when they do manifest, murdhini taila effectively lessens their effects.
Murdhini taila is of 4 types:
1)Â Shiro Abhyanga – (Shiro = Head, Abhyanga = Massage)Shiro Abhyanga is the term for a set period of time spent massaging the head using herbal oils (usually 30-40 minutes)
2) Shiro Seka/ Shiro Dhara – (Shiro = Head, Dhara = Stream pouring)Shiro dharna, also known as sea, is a practise in which a person receives a stream of herbal oils or medicinal liquids (milk, buttermilk, etc.) over their head for a predetermined amount of time (usually 35-45 minutes or 60 minutes)
3) Shiro Pichu- (Shiro = Head, Pichu = keeping a cotton pad dipped in oil)In the Shiro Pichu technique, a sterile cotton pad dipped in herbal oil is placed over the head (the crown, the entire scalp, or the vertex) and fastened with a bandage. The Michu is left in place for a specific amount of time (often between one and two hours and up to a half day).
4) Shiro Basti(Vasti)- (Shiro = Head, Basti or Vasti = Pooling) Shiro Basti /In the vasti method, a cabin or compartment is built over the subject’s head using a leather cap. The cabin’s opening is sealed at the subject’s head with wet black gramme flour and is then filled with herbal oils. The oil is left in place for a predetermined amount of time ( usually 45 minutes to 60 minutes). Shiro Vasti’s oil temperature must to be regularly checked, and it should never be allowed to cool.
Although each form of Murdhini Tail has advantages of their own, they are all equally effective.
Shiro Pichu and Shiro Seka are less effective and useful than Shiro Vasti because less oil is used and it stays on the head for a shorter period of time. Shiro Vasti also applies greater pressure to the head than the other Moordha taila techniques.
Shiro Pichu is a close second; even though less oil is used in this method, it still contacts the head and scalp for a considerable amount of time.
Large amounts of oil are also used in Shiro Sea for stream pouring, however the oil keeps flowing away after hitting a head.
Shiro Abhyanga also uses a minimal amount of oil and only massages for a short time. When the medication is washed after Abhaynaga, the effect is lessened.
