Signs of Imbalance

Published on: 10/21/2025

One of Ayurveda’s greatest gifts is the ability to see subtle changes in the body and mind before they become illness. These early signs are calledvikruti— shifts in your natural constitution (prakriti). By learning to recognize them, you can gently restore balance long before deeper dysfunction sets in. In modern language, this is preventive health at its finest: the ability to interpret your body’s signals as data. The dry skin, racing thoughts, irritability, heaviness, or fatigue that many dismiss as “normal” are actually messages from your physiology asking for alignment.

Ayurveda offers a plant ally uniquely designed for this modern challenge: Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), the herb of awareness. Known as “the nourisher of the mind” (Medhya Rasayana), Brahmi strengthens memory, clarity, and emotional stability. It is both calming and awakening—helping the mind become steady, alert, and clear without overstimulation.

Published on: 10/17/2025

In Ayurveda, Dinacharya— the “daily rhythm” — is far more than a morning ritual. It is the art of living in sync with the natural flow of the sun, moon, and body. Long before circadian rhythm research or cortisol studies, Ayurveda described how our physiology rises and falls in harmony with the day.
