Kochi, India (CU)_ Stress, worry, or poor sleeping patterns are just some of the factors that might keep you tossing and turning throughout the night. Daily ayurveda routines before bedtime will help you achieve better sleep and feel more energized in the morning. Here are five Ayurvedic solutions for improved nighttime sleep.
Pranayama
Pranayama is a term that refers to slow breathing exercises that require you to concentrate on your breath and pass energy throughout your body. Doing pranayama before bedtime can assist in improving blood circulation and also increases the body’s oxygen supply. This assists your brain in refreshing and calming down and rapidly falling asleep.
Breathing deeply
The much simpler method than pranayama is just practicing deep breathing while reciting om. To do so, inhale deeply while chanting om and exhale through both your nose and mouth. The word Om has a relaxing impact on the mind and body and has been shown to help people fall asleep more quickly. Maintain a gap between two consecutive terms when chanting om.
Clean your feet
It was an ancient practice to wash feet after people returned home from a hard day. Washing your feet makes the body to refresh, relieves tense muscles, and lowers your stress level. Washing your feet eliminates negativity and promotes tranquility.
Avoid electronic devices
Overuse of electronic gadgets is a prevalent symptom of our modern lifestyle, which leads to sleep disruption. Watching a phone or watching television before bed activates your thoughts, making it more difficult to fall asleep. Prior to sleep, attempt to establish a calm environment. To sleep deeply, listen to relaxing music or read a book.
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic technique that entails massaging the body with a heated oil filled with herbs. If massaging the entire body is not possible, experts advise rubbing the stress areas at night. Apply some heated sesame oil to your forehead and shoulders and massage in a circular motion to help relax your muscles and fall asleep happily.
