Focusing on health in the hectic and stressful lives that
we lead today is becoming difficult. Incorporating relevant herbs in your daily
diet is the first step towards a healthier you. Ayurveda texts and modern
research say that herbs contain compounds that have beneficial health properties
that can help prevent many lifestyle disorders and rejuvenate our bodies.
Dr Shruthi M. Hegde, Ayurveda Expert, The Himalaya Drug Company, suggests
incorporating the following herbs in your daily diet to practice preventive
wellness and take a concrete step towards maintaining good health.
Tulasi: Popularly known as "The Queen of Herbs", it yields
beneficial results for respiratory wellness. It has compounds which are known to
have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and expectorant properties. Tulsi helps
modulate healthy immune response and supports early recovery from respiratory
conditions. Use it to get relief from cough and cold, especially during seasonal
changes, when your body is particularly prone to such respiratory ailments.
Ashvagandha:
This herb contains rejuvenating properties, and
being an adaptogen, helps cope with stress, reduces harmful effects of long-term
stress on the body, and promotes healthy sleep. This makes it particularly
useful in our stressful lives, where good work-life balance is often difficult
to maintain.
Triphala: It's difficult to always consume healthy and
hygienically prepared food in our hectic lifestyle, making digestive issues a
common problem. Triphala helps promote overall digestive wellness in a number of
ways. It acts as an effective colon cleanser, regularises normal bowel
movements, and aids healthy digestion.
Neem: This helps fight acne by inhibiting the bacteria that
causes acne growth. The herb helps promote skin wellness, which becomes even
more important during summer, when the skin is more prone to acne breakouts and
inflammation. It helps rejuvenate your skin, and prevents the recurrence of acne
and blemishes.
Haridra: This herb contains beneficial inflammation-relieving
properties. It boosts cell health through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
properties, helping improve overall health. This makes it a potent tool in your
preventive wellness toolkit, helping you overcome a number of health problems
before they even have a chance to make an appearance
Guduchi: This herb supports the immune system and helps fight
against infections by increasing the effectiveness of disease-fighting white
blood cells. Including this herb in your daily diet will help increase your
body's resistance to stress and illness.
Make a commitment to getting healthier and staying fit by including these
health-boosting herbs in your daily diet. Regular usage of these herbs in
addition to other activities such as exercising and consuming a balanced diet
will lead to a healthier, happier you.
