Key Takeaways :
-
Ayurveda isn't about massive lifestyle overhauls—small shifts like cutting inflammatory foods or improving digestion can spark major health changes.
-
Common triggers for imbalance: late nights, processed foods, excessive caffeine, and ignoring your body's early warning signs like heartburn or fatigue.
-
For stressed professionals or students, Dr. Simmi recommends three simple but powerful Ayurvedic practices: sipping digestive teas, short breathing practices (pranayama), and avoiding your unique food triggers based on dosha imbalances.
-
Ayurvedic therapies like Shirodhara can calm the nervous system even for those short on time.
-
Digestion is central—what you can digest matters more than what you eat.
-
Ayurveda teaches that transformation happens in small, consistent steps—like shifting bedtime by 15 minutes per lunar cycle to restore circadian balance.
-
Sleep between 10 PM to 2 AM is vital for emotional and physiological reset.
-
For those overwhelmed and feeling stuck in unhealthy routines, Ayurveda offers a way to gently realign, not force change.
