Turning the Heat Up on the Common Cold
Tips from Maharishi Ayurveda (gratefully taken with permission frommapi.com)
Come Fall, more than maple leaves turn red. Ever noticed how
many red-nosed people you see in the stores at this time? Kleenex sales
go up, and antihistamines fly off the shelves. Chances are, even as you
read this, you're trying to stifle a sniffle. Take heart--you can win the cold war. And yes, you can do it without the standard ammunition of pills and
rubs. Believe it or not, something as simple as sleeping on time could
be your greatest anti-cold weapon! |

The Yoga - Ayurveda Connection (shared with permission from mapi.com) Yoga has taken America by storm. The number of Americans who practice some form of yoga has doubled in the last five years, and is now estimated at fifteen million. Three-fourths of fitness clubs offer yoga classes, and yoga was named one of the two fastest growing segments of the exercise industry by Trendwatch 2000, an annual report on fitness trends. While many view yoga as a gentler way to exercise, most long-time practitioners realize that yoga is not just physical -- it creates balance in mind, emotions and consciousness as well. |

The Maharishi Ayurveda Approach To A Light Diet (shared with permission from mapi.com) According to ayurveda, it is important to know how to eat properly when the digestive fire or agni is low. A lighter diet is recommended when one has a fever, flu, cold or diarrhoea, when one is recuperating from an illness, and during panchakarma-the ayurvedic rejuvenation program. Women should eat a lighter diet during menstruation and menopause. Children often need light yet nutritious diets. If you are under the care of a physician, or before making changes to your existing diet, it is recommended that you check with your physician. |
