Love at First Sight: My
Journey to Ayurveda
Have you ever felt like you've hit a roadblock on your health and wellness journey? Like you've tried everything and nothing seems to be working? That's exactly where I found myself before discovering Ayurveda. I vividly recall the moment when I first came across the term "Ayurveda." It was as if a switch had flipped inside me, and I had a deep sense that everything was about to change. I was in the depths of my health journey, navigating the overwhelming confusion of the health and wellness industry. I was constantly bouncing between visits to Western medical experts, hospitals, and waiting rooms. But as soon as I started learning about Ayurveda, my appreciation for it began to grow. Ayurveda is the world's oldest medical system, with roots dating back over 5,000 years. It takes a holistic and integrated approach to healing the body, mind, and spirit. According to Ayurveda, our bodies and minds are made up of specific elements, and by balancing these elements through food and lifestyle choices, we can live our happiest, most fulfilled lives. But Ayurveda is more than just a medical system; it's a way of life. It's about developing your inner compass, listening to your body's signals, and learning how to use food, herbal supplements, and lifestyle choices to restore balance. And let me tell you, it's not an easy road. My healing path has taken me down many wild terrains, but the more I learned, practiced, and reaped the healing benefits of Ayurveda, the more I fell in love with. BLOOM MAGAZINE | 80
