Reset at Pokhara's World-Renowned Ayurveda Centre

Text by Elena Moody



Feeling stressed out, irritable, fatigued, or managing a chronic health issue? Feel like you have tried everything? Or just really need some time out and a great massage? The Ayurveda Health Home in Pokhara may be just what you are looking for.

 Chronic stress can wreak havoc on our mind and body. If left unchecked it can become harder to successfully navigate future stress and this vicious cycle can lead to stress-related illness and emotional problems. Studies have found that stress seems to worsen or increase the risk of many health conditions such as chronic anxiety, muscle pain, asthma, diabetes, migraine headaches, high blood pressure, heart disease, gastrointestinal issues, obesity and depression. Living with chronic pain or a chronic health condition can dramatically impact your life and relationships, and adversely affect your sleep, mood, motivation and ability to cope. But before you get stressed about being stressed, there is good news.
 

The ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine has been shown to be effective in treating a range of disorders, including but not limited to anxiety, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, digestive issues, sleep problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and weight management. Nepal has a rich tradition of Ayurveda which is widely considered the world's oldest system of health care and continues to be an important influence in healthcare worldwide. Ayurveda focuses on the prevention of the imbalances that cause disease and emphasizes that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between environment, body, and mind.
