Ayurveda Series – Should you go to the doctor?
Summer is approaching. Its really heating up. Its flooding during rainy season. After winter it is spring. Due to these rhythmic changes, our lifestyle and surroundings also change.
This change happens in our body also. Apart from these times, there are other changes that take place in our body. Due to this we undergo some changes and we suffer and our day to day routine gets affected. This is the first indication that our health is going for a toss.
If we ignore it and put off taking care of ourself, then chronic ailments or diseases attack us. There are two reasons for this. In Ayurveda, we call it as Visarkam and Aadhanam.
When we are born, as we age, all our organs in our body starts ageing. Our vision gets blurred, joint pains, hearing issues, limbs get weaker and even lead to diseases.
When we work and go about our daily routine, the energy gets dissipated. To replenish this energy we need to eat the right kind of food. So when we intake the right kind of food, our body does not suffer from changing climatic situations or seasons. This is an easy indicator to state whether we are in good health or not.
So how do we know whether we are in good health or not ? There is a simple test for this. There are some simple questions which we ask ourself and based on the answers, we can determine our health situation.
