The Colourless Blend: A Return to the Basics with Ayurvastra

on अक्तू॰ 26 2024
In the world of fashion, where colors and patterns often steal the spotlight, Miho’s Colourless Blend celebrates the beauty of neutrality. Unlike vibrant hues or earthy tones, our Colourless Blend brings a minimalist appeal rooted in nature and wellness. This Ayurvastra blend relies on the untouched natural shade of fabric combined with Ayurvedic herbs, offering an elegant, subtle design that promotes peace and holistic health. What is the Colourless Blend? Ayurvastra, meaning “life cloth” in Sanskrit, focuses on the therapeutic potential of herbs in textiles. While Miho typically offers kids’ wear dyed with natural pigments, the Colourless Blend takes a different approach. Here, no dye is used. This method preserves the fabric’s original hue, making it perfect for those seeking a minimalist and chemical-free lifestyle. The Process: Pure Fabric Meets Pure Intention Each Colourless Blend piece undergoes a special treatment with Ayurvedic herbs. This process retains the raw, natural shade of bamboo, cotton, or wool fibers, symbolizing simplicity and purity. Unlike conventional dyeing processes, which involve synthetic dyes and chemicals, Ayurvedic dyeing embraces gentle treatments where no artificial substances touch the fabric. The untreated shade aligns with the concept of ‘slow living’ — a movement toward mindful, natural, and less processed lifestyles. The Wellness Benefits of a Colourless Blend Promotes Skin HealthAyurvastra is celebrated for its ability to aid in skin wellness, using herbs that contain natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and hypoallergenic properties. The Colourless Blend, with its unadulterated surface, allows the fabric to breathe freely, reducing the risk of skin irritation — especially valuable for babies and children with sensitive skin. Supports Body Temperature RegulationThe absence of synthetic elements in the Colourless Blend ensures that the fabric adapts well to body temperature, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable. Ayurvedic treatments typically include herbs like sandalwood, vetiver, and neem, known for their cooling effects, which can assist in maintaining balanced body heat. Aids Relaxation and SleepThe Ayurvedic herbs used to infuse Miho’s Colourless Blend garments can assist with relaxation and better sleep quality. Ingredients in Ayurvastra, such as tulsi and ashwagandha, promote a calming effect on the body. Wearing a layer of this blend can feel like slipping into a gentle cocoon, perfect for winding down in or after a long day. Who Can Benefit from the Colourless Blend? The Colourless Blend is ideal for anyone who: Values natural, minimalist fashion without bold colors and prefers sustainable, gentle choices for their wardrobe. Seeks chemical-free fabrics for their children, especially those with sensitive skin. Appreciates wellness and holistic living, aligning with the Ayurvedic philosophy that our clothing should work in harmony with our bodies. Caring for the Colourless Blend Maintaining Ayurvedic fabrics is simple yet unique: Hand Wash or Gentle Cycle – Use cold water and natural soap or soapnut. This gentle method keeps the herbal qualities intact. Dry in Shade – Direct sunlight can weaken the fibers and reduce the effect of the infused herbs. Avoid Harsh Detergents – Natural fibers infused with herbs do best with mild, plant-based detergents and no fabric softeners. A Mindful Choice for a Better Tomorrow Our Colourless Blend offers a way to embrace slow fashion with a clear conscience. Choosing garments that carry the therapeutic properties of Ayurvedic herbs and the subtle elegance of natural fabrics is not just a style statement — it’s a lifestyle choice that brings us back to our roots. By leaving color out of the equation, Miho’s Colourless Blend allows us to appreciate clothing for its quality, comfort, and the quiet wellness it promotes. With Miho’s Colourless Blend, experience the power of purity in simplicity. A fabric that doesn’t just touch your skin but touches your life, too.

Embracing the Red Blend: Ayurvedic Clothing's Wellness and Medicinal Benefits

on अक्तू॰ 16 2024
In the world of Ayurvastra, each color is carefully chosen to enhance well-being, evoke emotions, and support specific health needs. The Red Blend, a hallmark in Miho’s Ayurvedic clothing collection, carries not only a vibrant hue but also a multitude of therapeutic properties. Derived from herbs with ancient medicinal roots, the Red Blend serves as more than just a piece of clothing—it's a pathway to harnessing the power of nature to support holistic wellness. The Significance of the Red Color in Ayurveda The color red is associated with the Muladhara (Root) Chakra, which is believed to represent stability, grounding, and a sense of safety. Wearing red is said to strengthen one’s connection to the earth, provide warmth, and stimulate energy levels. It's no surprise that this bold color is often used in Ayurvedic dyeing to boost vitality and promote well-being. The Herbal Composition of Miho's Red Blend Miho’s Red Blend incorporates a powerful array of herbs traditionally known for their healing qualities. While the exact formulation is proprietary, key ingredients are typically found in the blend to maximize both the medicinal and sensory experiences. Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia): Known for its blood-purifying properties, Manjistha helps support skin health and combats inflammation. This herb’s potent red hue makes it a primary component in Ayurvedic clothing, particularly beneficial for detoxifying and nourishing the skin. Madder Root: Revered in Ayurveda for its anti-inflammatory properties, Madder Root not only gives a rich color to the dye but also helps improve skin tone and promote circulation. Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Although turmeric itself is golden-yellow, it is often combined with red dyes for its antioxidant benefits. The presence of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been shown to aid in skin rejuvenation and enhance the body’s natural immune response. Pomegranate Rind: Used traditionally for its anti-aging properties, pomegranate is rich in antioxidants. This ingredient lends a subtle softness to the Red Blend while promoting cellular repair and skin health. Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis): An adaptogenic herb, Schisandra is revered in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Known for its calming and balancing effects on the body, it helps to enhance mental clarity, reduce stress, and improve skin elasticity. Schisandra is rich in antioxidants, which aid in protecting the skin from environmental damage and reducing signs of aging. This powerful herb also supports liver detoxification, helping to cleanse the body and promote overall vitality. The Wellness Benefits of the Red Blend Wearing Ayurvedic red-dyed fabrics can bring a sense of warmth and comfort, ideal for those seeking both therapeutic and energetic benefits. Here’s a look at how Miho’s Red Blend enhances well-being: Enhanced Blood Circulation: The herbal components in the Red Blend, like Manjistha, are known to improve blood circulation. Wearing this blend can help stimulate blood flow, which is essential for energy production and detoxification. Skin Nourishment: Miho’s Red Blend allows the herbal nutrients to be absorbed through the skin, our body’s largest organ. Herbs like Madder Root and Pomegranate work to repair and rejuvenate skin cells, reducing inflammation and promoting a radiant complexion. Improved Energy Levels: The color red is often associated with energy and vitality. This Ayurvedic blend can offer an energetic boost to help combat fatigue, making it perfect for those looking to feel more grounded and resilient throughout their day. Supports Detoxification: Wearing Ayurvedic fabrics encourages the body to release toxins through the skin, thanks to the potent properties of herbs like Manjistha and Turmeric. These ingredients aid in cleansing, purifying, and balancing the body’s internal systems. How to Incorporate Miho’s Red Blend into Your Wardrobe The Red Blend is more than a piece of clothing; it's a mindful choice that adds an extra layer of wellness to your daily routine. Here are a few ways to incorporate it into your life: Daily Wear: Enjoy the benefits of the Red Blend by incorporating it into your daily wardrobe. It’s ideal for those who want an effortless way to receive herbal support without needing to make additional lifestyle changes. Meditation and Yoga: The Red Blend is perfect for grounding practices like yoga and meditation. By wearing this clothing during these activities, you can align with the earthy energies of the Root Chakra, enhancing your sense of stability and focus. Sleepwear: For those seeking a restful night’s sleep, wearing the Red Blend as sleepwear can help promote relaxation, detoxification, and recovery. It is particularly useful for individuals with sensitive skin or those dealing with skin issues, as it offers gentle nourishment and support.   The Red Blend's Benefits for Children Soothes Sensitive Skin: Children’s skin is especially delicate and can be prone to irritation from synthetic fabrics and chemical-based dyes. Miho’s Red Blend, infused with gentle herbs like Manjistha and Madder Root, provides a natural, skin-friendly alternative. These herbs have anti-inflammatory and cooling properties, helping soothe any skin sensitivities and keeping skin healthy. Promotes Restful Sleep: The calming effects of Schisandra and Turmeric make the Red Blend particularly beneficial for sleepwear. Schisandra helps balance stress and promote relaxation, which can be incredibly helpful for children who experience restlessness or trouble falling asleep. The warmth and comfort of the Red Blend fabric can encourage a peaceful, uninterrupted night’s sleep, promoting overall health and rejuvenation. Grounding and Stability: The Red Blend, associated with the Root Chakra, provides children with a sense of grounding and security. This can be especially helpful for young ones as they grow, encouraging a sense of stability and connection to their surroundings. This grounding energy is known to support children in feeling calm and balanced, particularly during times of transition or change. Supports Natural Detoxification: Children's skin, being highly absorbent, can benefit from the detoxifying properties of herbs like Manjistha and Schisandra. These ingredients gently encourage the release of toxins through the skin, allowing kids to naturally expel impurities from their body in a safe and effective manner. The process also helps maintain balanced energy levels, which is crucial for their active lifestyles. Boosts Immunity and Skin Resilience: The antioxidants present in the Red Blend, particularly from herbs like Pomegranate and Turmeric, provide a layer of protection to the skin. These powerful herbs help to fortify the skin's barrier, making it more resilient to environmental irritants. Additionally, Turmeric’s immune-supporting properties work synergistically with other herbs to aid in maintaining overall wellness. Encourages Emotional Balance: Wearing the Red Blend can offer subtle emotional support, making it a gentle way to help children navigate their emotions. Schisandra, known for its adaptogenic qualities, helps reduce anxiety and promotes emotional stability. This can be beneficial in helping children feel centered and at ease, whether at home, school, or during other activities. Choosing Ayurvastra for a Sustainable Future Miho’s Red Blend represents a commitment to sustainability, wellness, and tradition. Each piece is dyed using only plant-based ingredients, without harsh chemicals or synthetic additives. This commitment to purity ensures that your clothing is not only better for your health but also safer for the planet. By choosing Ayurvastra, you are supporting a holistic approach to wellness that respects nature and honors ancient traditions.

When used in fabric dye, it may support healthy skin, aiding in the management of minor irritations and improving overall skin health.

It adds a golden hue to the blend and is believed to have mood-enhancing properties. This makes saffron-dyed clothing particularly comforting to wear on a daily basis.

Annatto can help soothe irritated skin and protect against environmental toxins, which makes it ideal for everyday wear. Madder Root (Rubia cordifolia) – This herb adds a slight warmth to the orange hue and is used in traditional Ayurvedic treatments to help promote detoxification. Madder root is thought to promote circulation and purify the blood, contributing to a general feeling of vitality.

Each herb is rich in natural properties that align with the body’s needs and provide benefits through transdermal absorption. Here’s how this blend can benefit you: Supports Skin Health – The natural antibacterial and antifungal properties of turmeric and saffron work together to keep the skin clean, reducing the risk of irritations and minor infections. Wearing the Orange Blend can be particularly helpful for people with sensitive skin or skin prone to conditions like eczema.

The result is fresher, more rejuvenated skin that breathes easily. Promotes Emotional Balance – The orange color of this blend aligns with the sacral chakra, which is linked to emotions, creativity, and intimacy.

Treating Allergies with Ayurveda and Ayurvastra

on अग॰ 09 2024
Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old health discipline, the ancient Indian science of life, promotes disease prevention and holistic wellness. It emphasizes harmony among the five elements that constitute the human body: - Prithvi (Earth) - Ap (Water) - Tejas (Fire) - Vayu (Air) - Akash (Space) These elements form the three fundamental life forces, or Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which influence both the mind and body. Ayurvedic principles also extend to Ayurvastra, where fabric dyed with herbal and botanical concoctions aids in promoting health and wellness, offering a natural solution to allergies.   Understanding Allergies An allergy is an immune system condition that results in an unfavorable response to a typically harmless substance. These substances, known as allergens, can include specific foods, environmental irritants, medications, and weather patterns. The body's reaction to allergens involves the release of Histamine, causing symptoms like nasal congestion, skin irritation, digestive issues, and more.   Ayurvedic Perspective on Allergies According to Ayurveda, allergies stem from an imbalance of the three Doshas. This imbalance weakens the immune system, making it difficult for the body to eliminate toxins. Ayurvedic remedies target the root cause of allergies rather than just addressing the symptoms.   Dosha-Related Allergies and Their Ayurvedic Management Vata-Type Allergies Symptoms: Gas, bloating, abdominal pain, cramps, mouth tingling, swelling of lips, tongue, and face. Management: - Stay hydrated with warm herbal beverages. One can try teas like ginger tea with honey or licorice tea. - Consume calming herbs like Ashwagandha. - Eat smooth-textured foods such as porridge, rice pudding, bananas, hot cereal, root vegetables, and soups.   Pitta-Type Allergies Symptoms: Prone to respiratory and skin irritation, burning eyes, sinus inflammation, hives, rashes, eczema, heartburn, indigestion, and vomiting. Management: - Use cooling herbs like coriander and cilantro. - Accumulate soothing the respiratory system and skin with guduchi, amalaki, and neem in routine. - Consume clarified butter or ghee and cool liquids made from natural ingredients like Lemon water. - Limit sour cream, almonds, hard cheese, and eggs.   Kapha-Type Allergies Symptoms: Nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, mucous membrane irritation, hay fever, sinus infection, asthma, bronchial congestion, water retention, and sleep issues. Management: - Drink light, clarifying teas with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. - Eat light, dry, comforting dishes prepared as fresh as possible. - Balance mucus formation and control moisture levels.   Ayurvedic and Ayurvastra Solutions for Allergy Management Panchakarma Therapy Panchakarma therapy combines traditional Ayurvedic treatments to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. This detoxification process involves five steps to purge and eliminate toxins: Vamanam: Induced vomiting. Virechana: Therapeutic purging. Vasti: Enema therapy. Nasya: Nasal cleansing. Raktamokshanam: Blood purification.   Natural Treatments, Including Diet and Lifestyle Changes - Eat warm, light, and freshly prepared food. - Reduce or avoid dairy if causing indigestion. - Exercise regularly and practice pranayama (breath control). - Use spices and herbs like cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, coriander, garlic, cumin seeds, and black pepper.     Miho and Ayurvastra: Enhancing Allergy Management Miho integrates Ayurvedic principles through Ayurvastra, creating garments dyed with herbal and botanical concoctions that promote health and wellness. Our Ayurvastra kidswear, made from natural fibers like bamboo, pure wool, and cotton, and dyed with herbal concussions, offers several benefits for allergy sufferers: Natural Wellness: Herbal dyes incorporate wellness properties that help regulate body heat, improve skin health, and support overall immunity for holistic health goals.

on जून 25 2024
As parents, well-wishers or guardians, we strive to provide the best for our children, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and healthy. One area where we can significantly impact their well-being is the environment they grow up in through the choices we make regarding their clothing. With the rise of natural and organic kids clothes and sustainable ethical fashion practices, it's easier than ever to ensure your child's wardrobe is both eco-friendly, kind on the sensitive skin of the child and stylish. Here’s how you can make your kids' clothing cycle sustainable in five easy steps:   Choose Natural or Organic Kids Clothes Organic kids clothes are made from natural fibers like cotton, linen, bamboo and wool, grown without the use of harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It is also believed that by avoiding toxic prints, dye and trims on the garment, we can choose the most original and harmless version of clothing that is truly organic. This makes them safer for your child's sensitive skin and better for the environment. Organic clothing brands often adhere to ethical manufacturing processes, correct processing of waste, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for their workers. Bonus: Organic fibers are often more durable, leading to longer-lasting clothing.     Explore Ayurvastra for Your Kids Ayurvastra, a traditional Indian practice, involves infusing natural fabrics with medicinal herbs. These clothes are believed to promote health and well-being, offering therapeutic benefits such as improved skin health, detoxify the body and enhance relaxation. Ayurvastra can be a unique, trustworthy and beneficial addition to your child's wardrobe, combining traditional wisdom with modern sustainability. Bonus: The use of natural dyes and herbs minimizes environmental impact. Both solid waste and liquid waste of the dyeing processes can be returned back to earth. Each garment is unique, offering a personalized touch to your child's wardrobe.     Buy Sustainable Kids Clothes Sustainable kids clothes are designed with a focus on minimizing environmental impact throughout their lifecycle—from production to disposal. Look for brands that use recycled or recyclable materials, practice ethical labor standards, and implement eco-friendly manufacturing and disposal processes. Bonus: Using materials like recycled polyester reduces waste and conserves resources while can also lead to disposal of microplastics into the water bodies. Reduced water usage, low-impact dyes, and renewable energy sources though surely minimize environmental footprints drastically.   Opt for Comfortable Clothes for Babies Comfort is key when dressing your little ones. Choose soft, breathable fabrics that keep your baby comfortable throughout the day above every trend, brand and style. Natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, silk, wool, hemp and linen are ideal as they are gentle on the skin and allow for better air circulation. Bonus Tip: Look for clothes made from cotton or bamboo for extra softness. Ensure the clothes are not too tight and have enough room for movement. Opt for reusable cotton nappies over conventional diapers as much as possible to avoid rashes and irritation. Leave your baby enough time to go commando!   What to Do with Old Clothes As children grow quickly, they may outgrow their clothes before the cloth itself wears out. Here are some sustainable ways to repurpose old clothes for a kinder better world: Donate: Give gently used clothes to local charities, shelters, people or families in need. Recycle: Many organizations, brands and industries accept old clothes for recycling, turning them into new fabrics or products. Repurpose: Get creative by turning old clothes into new items like quilts, stuffed toys, a keepsake, bags, pouches, cleaning rags and much more! Swap: Organize or participate in clothing swaps with other parents to refresh your child's wardrobe without buying new items. Sell: You can also consider selling gently used clothes online or at consignment shops to give them a second life. The concept is called thrifting: if you start searching for #thriftindia on Instagram, you will see 475k posts (as of December 18, 2021), and the number is increasing by the day. This only goes to show the rise of thrift culture in India and the world that is leading to consumers making more sustainable choices.    Conclusion Making your kids' clothing cycle sustainable is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your child's health and comfort.

Understanding Contact Dermatitis in Children: A Growing Concern in India and the Healing Potential of Ayurvastra

on जून 01 2024
What is Contact Dermatitis? Contact dermatitis is a type of skin inflammation that occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with an irritant or allergen. Have you ever used a new type of skin care product or detergent or worn some clothes only to have your skin become discolored and irritated? If so, you may have experienced contact dermatitis. This condition occurs when chemicals you come into contact with cause a reaction. The condition is characterized by red, itchy, and sometimes swollen skin, often accompanied by blisters or dry, scaly patches. There are two main types of contact dermatitis: Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD): It is the most common type of contact dermatitis caused by direct damage to the skin from irritants such as chemicals, dyes, soaps, and detergents. Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD): This causes your body to release inflammatory chemicals that can make your skin feel itchy and irritated triggered by an allergic reaction to substances like certain metals, fragrances, and plants. Fig. how contact dermatitis can look like.   Effects of Contact Dermatitis on Children in India Contact dermatitis is particularly concerning in children due to their sensitive skin and developing immune systems. There is now growing evidence of contact sensitization of the pediatric population, and it begins right from early childhood, including 1-week-old neonates. The consequences of undiagnosed and untreated ACD in children and in their family can be severe. Among children with suspected contact dermatitis referred for patch testing, positive patch test rates have ranged from 14% to 70%. Of these, about 56-93% have been thought of current relevance.  Moreover, atopic eczema may be an important risk factor for the development of ACD in children rather than in adults. In the study by the NACDG, of those with a reactive patch test, children (34.0%) were more likely than adults (11.2%) to have a final diagnosis that included atopic eczema. Several factors contribute to the prevalence and severity of this condition among children: Environmental Factors: India’s diverse climate, ranging from hot and humid to dry and cold, can exacerbate skin issues. Pollutants and allergens in urban areas further aggravate the situation. Hygiene Practices: Inadequate sanitation, child labor in different industries and exposure to harsh soaps and detergents can lead to irritant contact dermatitis. Children in rural areas may be more susceptible due to limited access to gentle skincare products. Cultural Practices: The use of traditional clothing and accessories, which may contain allergens such as nickel or certain dyes, can trigger allergic reactions. Diet and Lifestyle: Nutritional deficiencies and lifestyle factors can weaken the skin’s barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritants and allergens.   The Impact on Children’s Health and Well-being Contact dermatitis can significantly affect a child’s quality of life. The persistent itching and discomfort can lead to: Sleep Disturbances: Constant itching and discomfort can disrupt a child’s sleep, impacting their overall health and cognitive development. Psychological Effects: Visible skin conditions can affect a child’s self-esteem and social interactions, leading to anxiety and depression. Secondary Infections: Scratching can break the skin, leading to secondary bacterial infections which can be serious if not treated promptly.   Protect your child's skin with these simple tips to prevent contact dermatitis: Choose Gentle Fabrics Opt for soft, natural fabrics like cotton and Ayurvastra. Avoid synthetic materials that can irritate the skin. Use Mild Soaps & Detergents Select hypoallergenic, fragrance-free products. Rinse clothes thoroughly to remove detergent residues. Keep Skin Moisturized Apply gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers daily. Look for products with natural ingredients like aloe vera. Avoid Known Allergens Be aware of common triggers like nickel, certain plants, and dyes. Check labels for potential allergens. Maintain Good Hygiene Regular baths with mild, lukewarm water. Pat dry and avoid vigorous rubbing of the skin. Stay Hydrated Ensure your child drinks plenty of water. Hydrated skin is less prone to irritation. Dress Appropriately Use Ayurvastra clothing for its healing properties. Dress your child in weather-appropriate layers. Create a Safe Play Environment Minimize exposure to harsh chemicals and irritants. Keep outdoor play areas free of known allergens. Consult a Dermatologist Seek professional advice for persistent skin issues. Regular check-ups can help manage and prevent flare-ups.   Ayurvastra: A Natural Remedy for Contact Dermatitis Ayurvastra which loosely translates to "Ayurvedic cloth," is a traditional textile practice that combines Ayurvedic principles with the process of fabric making. These garments are infused with medicinal herbs known for their healing properties. Here’s how Ayurvastra can benefit children suffering from contact dermatitis or prevent the chances of the same: Natural and Non-Toxic: Ayurvastra is made using natural fibres like cotton, bamboo, wool, hemp, silk - dyed with herbal extracts, ensuring that no synthetic chemicals come into contact with the skin. This is particularly beneficial for children as their sensitive skin is prone to reactions from synthetic fabrics and dyes. Healing Properties: Herbs used in Ayurvastra, such as neem, indigo, turmeric, and sandalwood, have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and soothing properties. These can help reduce inflammation, prevent infections, and promote overall wellbeing and healing of the skin. Enhanced Comfort: The breathable and soft nature of Ayurvastra garments made from natural fabrics can reduce skin irritation and provide comfort, essential for children who are already experiencing discomfort from dermatitis. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Ayurvastra supports sustainable practices, which are beneficial for the environment and help in reducing exposure to pollutants and allergens in total for generic prevention.   Implementing Ayurvastra for Dermatitis Relief For parents considering Ayurvastra for their children suffering from skin related issues or extra sensitive skin, here are some practical tips: Clothing Choices: Incorporate Ayurvastra into daily wear, especially for items that are in direct contact with the skin, such as underwear, casual wear, sleepwear, towels and bed linens. Consistency: Regular use of Ayurvastra provides continuous exposure to the healing properties of the herbs, aiding in long-term skin health and wellness. Complementary Care: Combine the use of Ayurvastra with other skin care routines recommended by healthcare professionals, such as using gentle, hypoallergenic, non-toxic or fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers.   Conclusion Contact dermatitis is a common yet challenging condition, particularly for children due to various environmental and lifestyle factors. Embracing traditional practices like Ayurvastra offers a natural, non-toxic approach to managing and alleviating the symptoms of dermatitis by simply implicating in everyday life. By integrating the wisdom of Ayurveda through Ayurvastra with other modern care practices, we can provide children with a holistic and sustainable solution for healthier skin and a better quality of life.
A Detail Guide of Ayurveda in Modern Urban Life

A Detail Guide of Ayurveda in Modern Urban Life

on मई 11 2024
The uniquely comprehensive healthcare system developed in Ancient Indian civilization, gaining its relevance again, is called Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the first healthcare system to include the mental aspect of health. Many scholars consider Ayurveda to be the oldest healing science. Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and in Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Following this system, the physical body emerges from the mind.Rooted in the principles of balance and harmony, Ayurvedic principles can enrich and elevate our urban lifestyles. Ayurveda is a science that elaborates on the quality of life, life-promoting factors, and life duration. Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages health maintenance through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and herbs. The science of Ayurveda can be viewed as an umbrella discipline or ‘mother’ of many modern-day alternative therapies. Let's delve into a detailed yet simple guide on how Ayurveda can be applied in contemporary urban life. UNDERSTANDING AYURVEDA: At the core of understanding Ayurveda, lies the belief that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, and achieving balance and harmony among these elements is essential for optimal health. The Ayurvedic texts contain profound understanding of the deeper workings of nature and the rhythms and cycles that govern all life on earth. According to Ayurveda, each individual possesses a unique constitution, or "dosha," which comprises the elements of air (Vata), fire (Pitta), and earth (Kapha). “Ayu” is the duration of life and reflects the broad spectrum of Ayurveda. According to this definition of “Ayu”, even a bacterium is a living being and therefore a subject to Ayurveda. Imbalances in these doshas can lead to illness, while harmony fosters well-being. Ayurveda promotes focus on health and health only. Once we have an exclusive focus on health, disease prevention becomes incidental and complete. It is no longer disease prevention; it is diseases elimination. Balance is the natural order; imbalance is disorder. Health is order; disease is disorder. Within the body there is a constant interaction between order and disorder. When one understands the nature and structure of disorder, one can re-establish order. SLEEP SCHEDULE: The concept of Dinacharya, or daily routine, emphasizes the importance of aligning our activities with the natural rhythms of the day ie., the environment around us. The imbalances in our sleep patterns can be very discouraging—even debilitating—and the task of getting back on track can feel incredibly daunting. Sleep is a natural time for the body and mind to rest, reset, detoxify, and rejuvenate—and sleep is carefully regulated by our bodies. A consistent sleep schedule is paramount for maintaining balance. Charaka Samhita, the ancient Sanskrit text on Ayurveda, mentions six types of sleep. According to the text, sleep may be due to:• natural sleep without external imbalances• depression• increased kapha caused by eating an excess of foods like chocolate, cheese, or fried food• exhaustion of mind and body caused by excessive physical work• chronic disease• imbalance or injury in the body Further, sleep has been linked to important changes in the structure and function of the brain. When it comes to infants and young children, sleep (and a lot of it) is absolutely critical to proper brain development. In adults, similar correlations have been drawn between sleep and the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and form new neural pathways. Going to bed early and rising with the sun is recommended to synchronize with nature's cycles. Adequate, undisturbed sleep supports physical rejuvenation and mental clarity, crucial for navigating the demands of urban life.One 2013 study noted that regular practice of yoga along with pranayama, or deep breathing exercise, in the morning also helps in improved sleep. Research from 2020 also shows that ashwagandha root, known as Indian ginseng, may improve sleep quality. Ashwagandha powder, along with nutmeg, can be taken with warm milk. EXERCISE: Ayurveda recommends exercise that complements one's dosha constitution. Vata types benefit from grounding practices such as yoga and walking, while Pitta individuals thrive on moderate, cooling activities like swimming or cycling. Kapha types benefit from invigorating exercises such as brisk walking or vigorous dancing to stimulate circulation and energy flow. Ayurveda recommends the morning time 6 am to 10 am as a time for rejuvenation and achieving optimal health. The evening is the ideal time to relax, rest and rejuvenate. Healthy exercise from the Ayurvedic perspective means exercising to half your capacity. At this stage, you can still breathe through the nose, although breathing is deeper, and you can still chat easily. Slight sweating is good. Consistency and moderation are key, avoiding excessive strain that could disrupt dosha balance. FOOD: Ayurveda attributes 80% of all disease to imbalances of the digestive system and, therefore, much attention is given to its maintenance. Diet plays a central role in Ayurveda, with a focus on wholesome, seasonal, local foods that nourish the body and support digestion. Incorporating the six tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent—ensures a balanced meal that satisfies both physical and emotional cravings. Mindful eating, free from distractions, enhances digestion and absorption of nutrients. The Ayurvedic diet is a type of eating plan that sets guidelines for when, how, and what you should eat based on your dosha, or body type. For example, the pitta dosha focuses on cooling, energizing foods and limits spices, nuts, and seeds. Meanwhile, the vata dosha favors warm, moist, and grounding foods while restricting dried fruits, bitter herbs, and raw veggies. Finally, the kapha dosha limits heavy foods like nuts, seeds, and oils in favor of fruits, veggies, and legumes. Although the Ayurvedic diet has specific guidelines for each dosha, the diet as a whole encourages eating whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Additionally, Ayurveda advises against overeating and encourages regular fasting to detoxify and rejuvenate the body. TEXTILES: Ayurveda extends its principles to the fabrics we wear, recognizing their impact on our well-being. It prefers natural fibers such as cotton, silk, and wool for their breathability and ability to regulate body temperature. Synthetic materials may disrupt energy flow and exacerbate dosha imbalances. Choosing clothing that aligns with the climate and personal comfort fosters harmony within and without. Another concept of Ayurvedic clothing is called Ayurvastra - the art of producing natural textiles made of natural fiber such as cotton yarn, jute fibre, silk, wool etc. and dying them with medicinal herbs. Ayurvastra clothing is completely free of synthetic chemicals and toxic irritants and is totally organic, sustainable and biodegradable. Plant-based dyes not only eliminate the effects of chemical dyes in the water supply, but also have more subtle healing aspects for the wearer. The roots, flowers, leaves, seeds and barks of more than 200 medicinal herbs, plants, flowers, roots, and barks are used to make the dyes. In Ayurvastra, the color is gained from the medicinal preparation only — no other colorants are used.The herbs used are different from vegetable dyes as they are not only natural but also have medicinal value. For example, for diabetes, cloth dyers combine Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica), Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), flowers from the sacred Champa tree (Michelia champaka) and Shoe flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis). The most effective time to wear the herbal-infused clothing is while resting, sleeping or meditating, when the body is naturally healing and re-establishing balance, so many of the products are created with those effects in mind. MINDFULNESS AND STRESS MANAGEMENT: In the fast-paced urban environment, stress has become a prevalent concern impacting overall health. Ayurveda emphasizes the practice of mindfulness and stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and aromatherapy. Ayurveda places significant importance on the mind-body connection and believes that practices like yoga and meditation are essential tools for managing stress and promoting overall well-being. These practices are tailored to an individual’s constitution (dosha) and can help balance the doshas, calm the mind, and reduce stress. Cultivating awareness of thoughts and emotions allows for conscious responses rather than reactive behavior, promoting inner peace and resilience in the face of challenges.Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils extracted from plants for therapeutic purposes, can be a valuable tool for managing stress according to Ayurveda. Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on the sense of smell and its impact on the mind and emotions. Aromatherapy can help balance the doshas, calm the nervous system, and promote relaxation. Stress management through Ayurveda is a multifaceted approach involving diet, herbal treatments, and lifestyle changes. CONCLUSION: Integrating Ayurvedic principles into modern urban life offers a roadmap to holistic wellness, balancing the demands of work, relationships, and self-care. By aligning with the rhythms of nature and honouring our unique constitutions, we can cultivate vitality, resilience, and harmony in our daily lives. Embracing these principles, we embark on a journey towards vibrant health and well-being, enriching not only our own lives but also the communities we inhabit.

Nurturing Little Souls: An Introduction to Ayurveda for Babies

on जन॰ 04 2024
With the onset of interest and belief in the Indian system of ancient wellness around the world, incorporating ancient wisdom into the care of your new baby is not just an emerging trend but it can provide a holistic approach to well-being. In this blog, we'll discuss and delve into the basic principles of Ayurveda – the Indian System of Holistic Wellness and explore how it can be thoughtfully applied to your infant care. Understanding Ayurvedic Principles: At the core pillar of Ayurveda stands at the belief that each individual is a unique combination of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha: representing the fundamental energies that regulate different bodily functions, both physiological and psychological. Understanding the doshas is crucial in Ayurveda as it helps identify the difference in each human being, narrowing down its treatment practices to every individual's constitution rather than the belief of mass medicines, promoting balance and harmony with no side effects to worry about. This allows real root treatment of the problem rather than suppressed short term relief. Lets now understand these doshas a little more: Vata: Vata types tend to be thin and lanky. They are very mentally and physically active and enjoy creative endeavors, meeting new people, and traveling to new places. In a state of equilibrium, individuals with balanced vatas exhibit flexibility, vibrant imagination, and original thinking. Associated with the elements of air and space, Vata governs movement and is linked to qualities such as lightness and changeability. Vata individuals frequently encounter symptoms such as cold extremities, constipation, dry skin, and joint cracking. Insomnia and reduced immunity are prevalent challenges for those with heightened vata sensitivity. Pitta: Pitta types are dominated by the fire element, which makes them innately strong, intense, and irritable. They tend to have a medium build and endurance with powerful musculature. Individuals of this type typically possess a moderate physique, enduring strength, and robust muscles. Their skin, often freckled, readily reddens in sunlight, during physical activity, massages, and when experiencing embarrassment. They exhibit strong determination and excel in adhering to their convictions. Aligned with the elements of fire and water, Pitta is responsible for digestion and metabolism, characterized by qualities like heat and intensity. They boast robust digestion and a hearty appetite, craving both nourishment and challenges. Frequently, they contend with health issues like inflammation, rashes, acne, and loose stools. Kapha: Individuals with a Kapha constitution possess sturdy builds and inherent athleticism, provided they engage in regular exercise to control their inclination towards weight gain. Rooted in the elements of earth and water, Kapha is linked to structure and stability, embodying qualities of heaviness and solidity. They value a systematic, step-by-step approach and prefer maintaining a consistent routine in both their personal and professional lives. Introducing themselves to new environments, meeting new people, and occasionally practicing fasting prove beneficial for them. Applying Ayurvedic Principles to Infant Care: Individualized Care: Ayurveda constitutionally recognizes that each baby is born with a unique psychological and physiological composition, influenced by the predominant dosha. Though the correct composition can only be determined by a certified Ayurveda Practitioner - observing a baby's temperament, physical characteristics, and responses to stimuli can offer slight understanding and insights into their dosha balance. Balanced Nutrition: Ayurvedic dietary principles emphasize the importance of food as nourishment source that align with a baby's dosha. For instance, Vata-predominant babies may benefit from warm, grounding foods, while Kapha dominants actually may need occasional fasting. Pitta-dominant infants may thrive on cooling and hydrating choices. Gentle Massage and Touch: The practice of infant massage is deeply rooted in Ayurveda also know as Abhyanga. Read our blog in details about it at: https://www.wearmiho.com/blogs/news/ayurvedic-baby-massage-oil-for-winter Using warm, natural oils, and gentle massages not only help soothe the nervous system and promote digestion and physical strength, but it also forms an emotional bond between parent and child, helping them understand body clues better until the little human understands itself. Creating a Calming Environment: Considering a baby's dosha, parents can create a perfect room setting for their babies’ overall health and development by adjusting factors such as lighting, room temperature, and choosing the correct sensory stimuli. Vata babies may benefit from warmth and soft textures, while Kapha babies may appreciate a well-ventilated space. Analysing a baby's dosha constitution at home for the basics involves observing various factors like: Physical Characteristics: Consider the baby's build, skin type, and features. This might keep on changing due to initial rapid growth period. Temperament: Observe behaviours, likings, sleep patterns, and reactions to stimuli. Understanding their human behaviour can suggest the constitution widely. Appetite and Digestion: Note how the baby responds to different kinds of foods and feeding habits in corelation to their digestive stress. Ayurveda provides a gentle and holistic framework for caring for the youngest members of our families. Ayurveda encompasses a vast expanse of wisdom, addressing various facets of life. It holds the potential to enrich your life in multiple ways. For personalized advice regarding your baby, consulting with an Ayurvedic expert is recommended. Bonus: Here are some long lost Ayurvedic advices for babies and new mothers: The sun and moonlight have various health benefits that the baby needs during the initial months. Traditionally the day the baby completes his fourth month, he is bathed, made to wear new clothes and brought out of the nursery. The elderly and well-wishers bless the baby and only then the baby is taken to other rooms of the house. the baby's room was fumigated with ayurvedic resins and leaves to counter negative energies and infuse positivity in the room. Utilize Brahmi, heeng, gugulu, and jatamansi for fumigating a baby's room and clothing, effectively neutralizing airborne germs.

A Guide to Sustainable Fabrics: Eco-Friendly Choices for Your Wardrobe

on अक्तू॰ 11 2023
The ecological awareness shift in the fashion industry has given rise to a demand for sustainable clothing options that cater to different all the categories, be it kids' wear, women's wear, or men's wear. If you're looking to make eco-friendly choices for your wardrobe, understanding sustainable fabrics, processes, techniques, local textile crafts, traditions, the suppliers and manufacturers in India can be a great starting point. The Rise of Sustainable Fashion Sustainability in fashion is about making clothing choices that consider the entire lifecycle of a garment, from its production to disposal and afterlife. It prioritizes natural fibres, recycled raw material, ethical manufacturing practices, minimizes waste, biodegradability of the product, and reduces the environmental footprint.   Sustainable Fabrics: A Deeper Insight Sustainable fabrics are those that have been sourced, produced, and manufactured in ways leading to minimal to zero negative impacts (ideal will be positive impact) on the environment and people involved in the process. Here are some of the top sustainable fabrics gaining popularity in clothing and lifestyle industry, along with their unique benefits: 1. Organic Cotton Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or hazardous chemical fertilizers, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cotton. It is commonly used everywhere today, including kids' wear, women's wear, and men's wear. Organic cotton is soft, breathable, and ideal for various clothing styles. 2. Recycled Cotton Recycled cotton fabric is made out of cotton that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill. Also known as upcycled cotton, it’s either made from cotton products that have already been thrown out, such as clothes and bedding or from pre consumer cotton waste like pattern cutting table. In addition to reducing the amount of cotton that ends up in landfills, recycled cotton can also reduce reliance on cotton production, making it a great option provided it’s widely adopted by manufacturers and consumers. 3. Hemp Hemp and Linen are versatile and sustainable fabrics that require minimal water and pesticides to grow. It is used for a wide range of clothing, from casual wear to high-end fashion and other lifestyle products. These fabrics are known for their durability and breathability. 4. Tencel (Lyocell) Tencel, also known as Lyocell, is made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, primarily from eucalyptus trees. The production process is eco-friendly and closed-loop, meaning that the solvents used to decompose the pulp to fibres are recycled. Tencel is soft, moisture-wicking, and great sustainable alternative used for activewear and undergarments. 5. Recycled Polyester Recycled polyester is majorly made from post-consumer plastic bottles and fishing nets, diverting non-compostable plastic waste from landfills and oceans. It's commonly used in sportswear, shoes, outerwear, and accessories. This fabric helps reduce the consumption of virgin resources to meet up consumer demands. 6. Bamboo Bamboo fabric is derived from bamboo pulp, which is a highly renewable resource as it grows really fast and require no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. It's extremely soft, breathable, and naturally antibacterial. Bamboo fabric is suitable for everyday wear and can be used in various clothing categories.     Other fibers like Ethical wool, Ahimsa or Eri Silk, Lotus, Pineapple, Banana, Milk, Rose and may more fabric alternatives, are also gaining popularity as people – both manufacturers and consumers are looking for new and creative replacements to give newness and yet preserve the cause.

Embrace Wellness with Ayurvedic Dyed Clothes: The 5 Benefits of Bamboo Fabric from Ayurvedic Clothing Manufacturers

on जुल॰ 30 2023
In today's tech-enabled, forever stimulating world, where environmental concerns are rising, and individuals are seeking holistic well-being, Ayurveda and sustainable practices are becoming increasingly popular. One such area gaining traction is Ayurvedic dyed clothes made from natural fabrics and ayurvedic medicinal dyes, offered by Ayurvedic clothing manufacturers. These eco-friendly garments not only showcase variety of hues but also offer multitude of health and environmental benefits. In this blog, we will explore the five key advantages of choosing Ayurvedic dyed clothes, also known as Ayurvastra also elaborating hoe Sporty Summer at Miho is several steps ahead: 1. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Bamboo fabric, derived from the fast-growing bamboo plant, is renowned for its sustainability. Other natural fibres like wool, silk, cotton, hemp, jute etc., can also be used for Ayurvedic dyeing process. Unlike conventional fabrics, bamboo requires minimal water, pesticides, and/or fertilizers to grow and give a high yield, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Additionally, Ayurvedic clothing manufacturers take sustainability a notch further by using natural dyes derived from plants and herbs. All the components of the dye waste are compostable. This combination of bamboo fabric and herbal dyes significantly reduces the carbon footprint of our brand, contributing to a cleaner and greener planet. 2. Non-Toxic and Skin-Friendly One of the significant advantages of Ayurvedic dyed clothes is their non-toxic and skin-friendly quality. Synthetic dyes used in traditional clothing often contain harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritations and allergies. Their disposal too leads to water and soil pollution in large extents. In contrast, Ayurvedic dyes are made from natural ingredients like turmeric, indigo, Neem, Lotus, madder root, and many more, which have therapeutic properties and are good for the skin. These clothes are particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or those prone to allergies like babies, patients, elderly, people living in humid areas, pregnant women etc. 3. Ayurvedic Healing Properties Ayurvedic dyed clothes go beyond aesthetics and the trendy sustainability; they offer subtle healing and wellness benefits as well. The plants and herbs used in the dyeing process carry inherent medicinal properties derived from Ayurveda, which is an ancient Indian medical stream of science. For instance, turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, indigo is believed to have a calming effect, and madder root is well-known for its antimicrobial properties. When these ayurvedic dyed fabrics come in contact with the skin, the skin absorbs the benefits through pores and help promote a sense of balance and well-being, through both medical benefits of herbs and inherited colour therapy, following the principles of Ayurveda. 4. Breathable and Comfortable Bamboo fabric, used in Miho’s Ayurvedic clothing, is highly breathable and comfortable to wear. It allows air circulation, wicks away moisture, and keeps the body cool during hot weather. It prevents bacterial growth and is resistant to odor building. This characteristic is especially beneficial for yoga practitioners or individuals leading an active lifestyle and are required to move often. Moreover, bamboo fabric is soft and gentle on the skin, providing a luxurious and comfortable experience throughout the day.   5. Mindful Fashion Choice Choosing Ayurvedic dyed clothes from bamboo fabric aligns with the principles of mindful fashion. By supporting Ayurvedic clothing manufacturers, you encourage sustainable practices, local crafts, Indian traditional sciences and ethical production methods. Choosing minimalistic yet buildable styles and better quality keeps your wardrobe timeless. Embracing mindful fashion means making conscious decisions that benefit not only your well-being but also the environment and the communities involved in the clothing supply chain. It fosters a deeper connection to the clothes you wear and the impact they have on the world today determining the future. At Miho, ayurvedic dyed clothes made from bamboo fabric offer a perfect synergy of style, sustainability, and well-being. By opting for garments and other textile products crafted by Ayurvedic clothing manufacturers, you contribute to a healthier environment, experience the therapeutic properties of herbal dyes, and enjoy the comfort of eco-friendly fashion.   Embrace Ayurvedic clothing as a lifestyle choice – it promotes both personal health and the welfare of the planet and society. Let your wardrobe become a testament to your commitment to wellness and mindful fashion.

आयुर्वेद: औषधीय कपड़े का विज्ञान

on मई 28 2023
हम सभी ने आयुर्वेद के बारे में किसी न किसी रूप में सुना है। यह लोकप्रिय प्राचीन भारतीय चिकित्सा प्रणाली है जो अब अपने प्राकृतिक उपचारों के लिए व्यापक मान्यता प्राप्त कर रही है। हर्बल उपचार से लेकर ध्यानपूर्ण प्रथाओं तक, आयुर्वेद ने हमारे जीवन के असंख्य पहलुओं को छुआ है। हैंडलूम वीवर्स डेवलपमेंट सोसाइटी, तिरुवनंतपुरम के राजन, जो हमें यह समझा रहे हैं, कुझिविला परिवार की छठी पीढ़ी इस कपड़े का व्यापार कर रही है। उनकी वंशावली रेशम मार्ग से चली आ रही है, जब वे हल्दी से रंगे कपड़े के साथ राजाओं की आपूर्ति करते थे। वह आयुर्वेदास्त्र का अभ्यास करते हैं, जो संस्कृत के शब्द आयुर - जिसका अर्थ है जीवन, स्वास्थ्य, या दीर्घायु - और वस्त्र या वस्त्रम - जिसका अर्थ है वस्त्र, का एक सुविधाजनक और यादगार संयोजन है। कपड़ा आयुर्वेदिक गुणों की अच्छाइयों को ले जाने में मध्यस्थ के रूप में काम करता है और इसे त्वचा में स्थानांतरित करता है, इस प्रकार इसे पहनने वालों को स्वास्थ्य प्रदान करता है। आयुर्वेद से प्रेरित यह हर्बल रंगे कपड़े अपने विशाल औषधीय और प्राकृतिक गुणों के लिए जाने जाते हैं जो मानव शरीर में संतुलन बहाल करते हैं और पहनने वालों की प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली को मजबूत करते हैं। जड़ी-बूटियों से रंगे ये वस्त्र त्वचा रोगों को रोकने, बेहतर प्रतिरक्षा प्रदान करने और शरीर के तापमान को नियंत्रित करने के लिए जाने जाते हैं। इसलिए, आयुर्वेद को काफी हद तक एक निवारक स्वास्थ्य देखभाल और कल्याण वस्त्र के रूप में माना जा सकता है क्योंकि ऐसे सबूत हैं जो सोरायसिस, गठिया, एक्जिमा, शुष्क त्वचा जैसे त्वचा रोगों को रोकने में इस वस्त्र की प्रभावशीलता का समर्थन करते हैं। सहायक अनुसंधान मनुष्यों में आयुर्वेदास्त्र के प्रभाव पर दो अध्ययन पूरे हो चुके हैं, दोनों ही सकारात्मक परिणाम दर्शाते हैं। केरल के सरकारी आयुर्वेद कॉलेज (जीएसी) में फार्माकोलॉजी विभाग के शोधकर्ताओं ने पाया कि जो मरीज औषधीय पौधों से रंगे बिस्तर, गलीचे और तौलिये का इस्तेमाल करते थे, उन्हें एक्जिमा, सोरायसिस और यहां तक ​​​​कि गठिया के लक्षणों में राहत मिली। केरल के स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय ने विभिन्न प्रकार की बीमारियों से पीड़ित रोगियों पर हर्बल रंगे कपड़ों, चादरों और गद्दों के प्रभावों पर अपना अध्ययन किया। उन्होंने अपनी दीवारों और छतों पर आयुर्वेदिक कपड़े की चटाई भी लटका दी। शोधकर्ताओं ने बताया कि रोगियों के गठिया और गठिया के लक्षणों में सुधार हुआ है, जिससे संभावित प्रभावों का पता चलता है जो त्वचा संबंधी प्रतिक्रियाओं से परे हैं। गुजरात आयुर्वेद विश्वविद्यालय में आंतरिक चिकित्सा के प्रमुख, पीएचडी, एमडी, हरि एम. चंदोला ने कहा, "हर्बल काढ़े रंगाई और रासायनिक रंगाई के बीच तुलनात्मक अध्ययन के बिना [आयुर्वेद की] विश्वसनीयता और महत्व के बारे में कोई भी टिप्पणी करना बहुत मुश्किल है।" . "किसी भी निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचने से पहले बहु-केंद्रित सर्वेक्षण और परीक्षणों के साथ वैज्ञानिक मूल्यांकन की आवश्यकता है।" डॉ. चंदोला ने कहा कि चूंकि आयुर्वेदा लिनेन प्राकृतिक हैं और सिंथेटिक ब्लीच और रंगों से मुक्त हैं, इसलिए उनका उपयोग करने वाले लोगों को गैर-प्राकृतिक पदार्थों से संभावित एलर्जी से त्वचा की प्रतिक्रिया की संभावना कम हो सकती है। साथ ही, उन्होंने कहा, प्राकृतिक कपड़े पसीने को ठीक से वाष्पित होने देते हैं, सिंथेटिक कपड़े पहनने पर यह मुश्किल हो सकता है। पारंपरिक इतिहास डॉ. चंदोला ने दावा किया कि आयुर्वेद के प्राचीन या समकालीन क्लासिक्स में आयुर्वेद का उल्लेख नहीं किया गया है। इसके बजाय, उन्होंने कहा, कुछ संदर्भों में कुछ पौधों का उल्लेख किया गया है, जिन्हें प्रभाव नामक क्रिया के माध्यम से त्वचा पर लगाने पर चिकित्सीय परिणाम मिलता है, जिसका अर्थ है प्रभाव। कपड़ों को रंगने के लिए औषधीय पौधों के उपयोग का उल्लेख कुछ आयुर्वेदिक ग्रंथों में किया गया है, आयुर्वेदास्त्र के नाम से नहीं। इसके अतिरिक्त, वसंत लाड, बीएएमएस - न्यू मैक्सिको में आयुर्वेदिक संस्थान के अध्यक्ष और एक प्रतिष्ठित आयुर्वेदिक डॉक्टर और लेखक - ने कहा कि औषधीय पौधों में रंगे कपड़ों के उपयोग की चर्चा हिंदू धार्मिक ग्रंथ पद्म पुराण और अष्टांग हृदय में की गई है। एक पाठ जो आयुर्वेद की आठ शाखाओं को कवर करता है (मौखिक संचार, 26 सितंबर, 2011)। कपड़े के रंग का उपयोग दोषों को संतुलित करने के लिए किया जा सकता है, डॉ. लाड ने आगे कहा, और पौधों के औषधीय गुणों को उनकी ऊर्जा और गतिशील क्रिया के माध्यम से प्राप्त किया जा सकता है। डॉ. लाड ने कहा कि प्राचीन वैदिक साहित्य में गहन आयुर्वेदिक ज्ञान बिखरा हुआ है। आयुर्वेद प्रक्रिया के दस्तावेज़ीकरण के बारे में उन्होंने कहा, "यह वहां है।" उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि भारत और संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सकों द्वारा आयुर्वेदास्त्र का नुस्खा असामान्य है, लेकिन वह अपने कुछ ग्राहकों के लिए इसकी सिफारिश करते हैं - विशेष रूप से त्वचा विकारों का अनुभव करने वाले लोगों के लिए हल्दी से रंगे कपड़ों के लिए। आयुर्वेद बनाम सामान्य वस्त्र: पर्यावरण के लिए शोध से पता चलता है कि आधुनिक पश्चिमी पहनावा टिकाऊ नहीं है और पर्यावरण पर भारी बोझ डालता है। एक जोड़ी जींस को बनाने की प्रक्रिया में 7500 लीटर पानी लगता है, जबकि हथकरघा या जैविक कपड़ों जैसे पारंपरिक भारतीय परिधानों की तुलना में इन्हें तैयार करने में काफी कम पानी लगता है। नियमित दैनिक कपड़ों में सिंथेटिक रसायन शामिल होते हैं जो इसे पहनने वालों और पर्यावरण दोनों के लिए हानिकारक होते हैं जबकि जैविक कपड़े मानव कल्याण को बढ़ावा देते हैं और पर्यावरण के अनुकूल होते हैं। आयुर्वेदिक परिधान या आयुर्वेद भारत की एक अंतर्निहित परंपरा को शामिल करता है जो लंबे समय से चली आ रही है ताकि यह पर्यावरण को नुकसान न पहुंचाए। जैसे-जैसे हम अधिक चेतना के साथ जीवन को अपनाना शुरू करते हैं, आयुर्वेद को शामिल करना सबसे स्वास्थ्यप्रद तरीकों में से एक हो सकता है। आयुर्वेदास्त्र के फायदे जड़ी-बूटी से रंगे जैविक कपड़े हीलिंग एजेंट के रूप में कार्य करते हैं, त्वचा के माध्यम से अवशोषक के रूप में कार्य करते हैं। प्रत्येक कपड़ा विशिष्ट जड़ी-बूटियों से युक्त होता है जो त्वचा की स्थिति का इलाज करने में मदद कर सकता है। आयुर्वेद में उपयोग की जाने वाली जड़ी-बूटियाँ एंटी-माइक्रोबियल, एंटी-इंफ्लेमेटरी गुणों से युक्त एलर्जी को ठीक करने के लिए जानी जाती हैं। आयुर्वेदा वाष्पोत्सर्जन के लिए अच्छा है जो विभिन्न बीमारियों को ठीक करने में मदद करता है। यह त्वचा संक्रमण, मधुमेह, एक्जिमा, सोरायसिस, उच्च रक्तचाप, उच्च रक्तचाप अस्थमा और अनिद्रा जैसी कई प्रकार की बीमारियों के इलाज में मदद कर सकता है। आयुर्वेद का उपयोग ऊर्जा बढ़ाने वाले, मूड बढ़ाने वाले, रक्त शुद्धि और शीतलता बढ़ाने वाले के रूप में भी किया जा सकता है। यह जानना दिलचस्प है कि अगर कपड़े को गाय के मूत्र से ब्लीच किया जाए तो इस कपड़े का औषधीय महत्व बढ़ जाता है। प्राकृतिक रूप से पाए जाने वाले अद्वितीय रंगों की विस्तृत श्रृंखला को सिंथेटिक रंगों के साथ दोहराया नहीं जा सकता है, इसलिए नए शेड विकसित किए जा सकते हैं, जिनका प्रभाव निरंतर उपयोग के बाद भी नहीं खोएगा। हर्बल रंगों का उपयोग सबसे अधिक पर्यावरण-अनुकूल और टिकाऊ तरीके से सूती कपड़े के सौंदर्य मूल्य में सुधार करता है। सन्दर्भ: https://www.herbalgram.org/resources/herbalgram/issues/92/table-of-contents/orgnews-ayurvastra/ https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/fashion/the-art-of-ayurvastra/article27377760.ece https://yehaindia.com/ayurvastra-clothing-that-heals-and-sustains-good-health/ 2018 आईजेसीआरटी | खंड 6, अंक 1 फरवरी 2018 | आईएसएसएन: 2320-2882 www.ijcrt.org : https://ijcrt.org/papers/IJCRT1802306.pdf स्वस्थ जीवन के लिए आयुर्वेद: एक समीक्षा ( 1: केएस सरवन्या और 2: डॉ. एस. कविता ;1:पीएचडी शोधार्थी, गृह विज्ञान-वस्त्र एवं वस्त्र विभाग, 2:एसोसिएट प्रोफेसर एवं प्रमुख, गृह विज्ञान विभाग, मदर टेरेसा महिला विश्वविद्यालय अनुसंधान एवं विस्तार केंद्र, कोयंबटूर, तमिलनाडु, भारत)

अधिकांश शिशु और छोटे बच्चे नहाना पसंद करते हैं क्योंकि पानी में गर्भ में पल रहे बच्चे बिना भार के चल सकते हैं और गर्म पानी में उन्हें बहुत अच्छा आराम मिलता है। नहाने की तैयारी अच्छी तरह से करनी चाहिए ताकि नहाने के बाद भी नहाने का मजा बना रहे। क्योंकि शिशु और छोटे बच्चे संवेदनशील होते हैं और नहाने के बाद तापमान में उतार-चढ़ाव पर नाराजगी के साथ प्रतिक्रिया करते हैं।
