Sleep deprivation is believed to cause several health problems – from obesity to low immunity and reduced productivity. India’s traditional Ayurveda medicine describes sleep as one of the three pillars of life. According to a study published in the National Medical Journal of India, 33 per cent of adults aren’t getting enough sleep.
If you are suffering from chronic sleep deprivation – not getting the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a day – take comfort from India’s traditional healthcare system Ayurveda.
Citing a study, the federal ministry for traditional Indian medicines has said the Ayurveda treatment has led to a remarkable improvement in patients’ sleep patterns.
Ayurveda considers sleep , or nidra (in Sanskrit language) as important for health and one of the essential dimensions for happiness and a good life. Ill health has a correlation with insomnia.
The study was published in AyuHom, the research journal of the North Eastern Institute of Ayurveda and Homeopathy, which is in Shillong in India’s Meghalaya state.
