Langhana: 12 signs that the therapy is working

When it comes to Langhana, an Ayurvedic therapy aimed at reducing excess doshas, especially in cases of overweight or obesity, it is important to observe concrete signs of effectiveness. Dr. Raghuram Y.S. and Dr. Manasa S. highlight 12 indicators that can confirm whether the therapy is having an effect. Among them, reduction in appetite, increased energy, and improved digestion are crucial. Additionally, a decrease in the feeling of heaviness in the body and regularization of sleep are also positive signs. These results can be observed over a period of a few weeks, depending on each patient's individuality. The relationship between Ayurvedic principles and these signs is clear, as Langhana therapy seeks to restore dosha balance and promote overall health. It is essential that patients are attentive to these changes and report them to the therapist for adjustments in the approach.

Shilajit and Its Benefits for Women: Uses and Safety

Researchers highlight that Shilajit, a rich mineral substance used in Ayurveda as a Rasayana, can be an important ally for women's health. Traditionally, it is valued for its properties that promote vitality and overall well-being. Composed of organic substances, minerals, and fulvates, Shilajit is known for helping harmonize bodily systems, being especially relevant during hormonal changes and for skin health.

PCOS and Weight Gain: Understanding the Relationship and How to Manage It with Ayurveda

Researchers have identified that insulin resistance is a key metabolic feature in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), making weight management more challenging. Although PCOS is often associated with weight gain, not all affected women are overweight or obese. Ayurveda addresses this condition by considering Agni (digestion), Kapha dosha, and Meda Dhatu (adipose tissue). Instead of extreme diets, a healthy diet, physical activity, and metabolic support are recommended. Additionally, assessing broader metabolic risks, such as glucose and cholesterol levels, is essential.

Sloka of the day

अन्योऽन्तर आत्मानन्दमयः।

Another inner ātman is the ānanda-maya (made of bliss).

taittiriya 2.5.1

The Taittirīya Upaniṣad describes the 5 kośas (sheaths) of the being, from the grossest to the subtlest: anna-maya (food/body), prāṇa-maya (energy), mano-maya (mind), vijñāna-maya (intellect/discernment), ānanda-maya (bliss). This last is the "innermost apparent ātman". Contemplative application: turning inward, one progressively traverses these 5 levels. Principle: the "ānanda" of the ānanda-maya is not "emotional happiness" — it is the base-state of being, deeper than any contextual emotion.
