Picture of The Day
Kapha Dosha and Diabetes
In Ayurveda, diabetes has been referred to as ‘prameha’ or ‘madhumeha’ a Sanskrit word when translated, means ‘sweet urine.’ All four Vedas ( Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda) have made references to different aspects of Indian medicine. It has been noted that the Vedas are among the first pieces of literature that record mentions of diabetes and its treatments.
One of the doshas - Kapha dosha, is a type of dosha which is considered to be the heaviest in terms of weight. It governs the water element, which means that it is a dosha that makes you feel heavy and lethargic. Associated with moisture retention, Kapha dosha is said to weaken metabolism, digestion, and elimination processes. The sluggish digestive system due to lack of activity or stress then elevates the risk for developing insulin resistance—which can further lead to imperilment in regulating the blood sugar levels because of the body chemistry. Hence when your Kapha dosha is imbalanced, it can thus manifest itself in the form of diabetes.
Try this: Kapalbhatti to reduce the effects of diabetes
Kapalbhati is a breathing technique that activates the pancreas instantly. It furthermore aids in the elimination process of toxic elements and boosts the body's metabolism. The flow of this technique is simple yet effective. Extend your spine upwardly, stretch your neck, and pull your chin inwards. Relax your stomach muscles and eject as much air as you are comfortable with through your nose. This will tighten the abdominal muscles and pull the abdomen towards the spine. Then breathe naturally. Exhalation is conducted with intentional coercion, whereas inhalation is simply a restoring force that brings air back into the lungs. Each breath is pulled in quickly through the nose and exhaled forcibly after the passive inhalation to keep a consistent pace.
Try This: Fenugreek seeds
Fenugreek seeds are a fantastic Ayurvedic ingredient to add to your dietary regimes when battling diabetes. It can help reduce the effects of this chronic disease by a margin. Mixed with turmeric, white pepper, and raw milk, this Ayurvedic concoction can work wonders. If drunk twice a day, it can garner tremendous recovery.

A Short Yoga Flow to Relieve Stress
The posture flow that follows, provides a comprehensive routine that can help you find unity in your mind, body, and soul. It can also relieve stress, improve flexibility, reduces blood pressure, and keep your body healthy.
Before You Begin: Make sure you're comfortable. If you feel pain or tension in your body, take a few minutes to relax and center yourself. Since Kapha is associated with cold temperature, and the color white, before you begin, close your eyes and imagine engulfing yourself in a bright, warm, red light.
Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes): This pose enhances the overall functioning of internal organs, particularly, the liver and the pancreas. It is performed by being seated on the ground, with your legs stretched out. Then, bend your knees, while still keeping your feet on the ground. Slowly, position your left leg under your right leg. Following this, place your right foot above your left leg and onto the ground. Place your right hand on the floor, at the back of your hips. Place your left arm beside your right knee. Then, lift your right knee towards the ceiling. Sit in this position for a minute and a half before relaxing.
Balasana (Child Pose): We then move on to the Balasana. This pose mainly tackles stress relief and provides solutions for body aches. Sit in a squatting position with your knees spread away from each other. Back up a little and attempt to bring your heels to your hips. Bend to the front and place your forehead on the floor. Feel the pressure on your back as you extend your arms forward. Hold this pose for roughly 5 minutes. Loosen up your muscles and return to a sitting position.
Dhanurasana (Bow Pose): What follows is the Dhanurasana. It mainly focuses on the functioning of the pancreas well. In order to administer this pose, lay on your belly with your feet slightly tilted away from each other. Hold your arms by your side. Place your ankle with your knees folded. Lift your shoulders off the ground and breathe in deeply. Lift your legs up and down at the same time. Feel the stretch in your thighs and arms. Maintain the position for at least 15 seconds. Breathe out slowly while lowering your chest to the floor. Allow your ankle to drop as you lower your feet to the surface.
