Ayurveda and chakras

Are you wondering how Ayurveda is linked to the chakras? Perhaps you have heard about the 7 chakras, but you’re not sure what they are or how the imbalanced chakras can be balanced and the blockages of the chakras can be removed by using traditional and natural herbs. Here, we will explain the details.

Ayurveda and the Chakras

Ayurveda is a tradition in India for thousands of yearsAyurveda and the 7 chakras has a long history for healing, balancing and solving the physical, psychological and spiritual problems. The use of herbs and herbal combinations with yoga, mantra and meditations has many time tested combinational formulas to overcome the challenges of life.

Ayurveda means “the science of long life.” Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas are dynamic forces or energies that govern various physiological and psychological functions in the body. When these doshas are in balance, an individual experiences good health. However, imbalances in the doshas can lead to physical and mental disturbances.

Chakras are psychic energy centers in the body, each resembling a spinning disk or wheel. They are associated with various aspects of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The chakras are thought to receive, process, and transmit energy throughout the body and surrounding environment. When the chakras are not balanced, they can become overactive or underactive.Thus, the energy flow through the chakras is either too much or too little, resulting in imbalances in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life.

Combining Ayurvedic and chakra-based holistic healing protocols strengthens the three types of life energies: Ojas, Tejas, and Prana. The integration of Ayurveda and chakra healing protocols aims to optimize the flow of Prana, ensuring vitality, balance, and harmonious functioning of the body-mind complex.

How many chakras?
