How can Ayurvedic remedies like Ashwagandha help boost stamina and energy levels? - #23110
I am really struggling with my energy levels lately, and I feel like I need to find ways how to increase stamina. I used to jog for 30 minutes every morning, but now I can barely manage 10 without feeling completely wiped out. I’ve tried different diets, but nothing seems to do the trick. My friend suggested Ayurvedic remedies and mentioned something about ashwagandha? Is that relevant when looking for ways how to increase stamina? Also, I've been feeling kind of low and lethargic. Any specific foods or routines you all recommend? It's frustrating not being able to keep up with my kids!

Thank you for reaching out this platform and trusting with your health journey from what you have mentioned that it seems your body is going through a case of depleted OJAS in Ayurveda-the essence that supports your vitality stamina, mental clarity and emotional balance. When O JAS is low, even small efforts can feel exhausting, moods dip easily and we feel disconnected from our usual self. Your previous ability to jog for 30 minutes now, reduce to 10 minutes with exertion shows that your system is asking for deep nourishment-not just surface level energy booster
Ashwagandha is indeed very relevant year. It is a RASAAYANA herb which means it is used to rebuild strength, and resilence from within… when taken properly, it can support your adrenal function, improves stamina, reduce stress, and balance your energy, but Ayurveda always believes in a holistic approach, not just relying on her, so let’s look at your routine and food

Avoid cold food, Ross salads, and anything straight from the fridge have khichadi ghee shop, almonds, dates, warm milk with turmeric along with Ashwagandha churna 1/2 tsp at bedtime These nourish the tissues and restaurant energy gently use jaggery with a pinch of dry ginger after meals. If you crave sweets, it is grounding and energising
Abhyanga-a warm oil massage, especially with Bala-Ashwagandha oil or sesame oil will work wonders. Just 10 minutes before your bath can bring calmness restore your nervous system and improve circulation. Also prioritise sleep. Try to sleep before 10 PM. This is when the body repairs OJAS, even short nap during the day can be helpful.
Emotionally, you may be going through a VATA imbalance to feeling low and fatigued is often connected to a mind that hasn’t been. No reached alongside the body for this herbs like brahmi shankapushpa or even a teaspoon of brahmi ghee in the morning, can help lift the mind gently and improve clarity
Avoid exertion for now, your body is in a rebuilding phase, gentle yoga, slow, Surya namaskara, walking, barefoot, and grass and exposure to early morning far more good, then pushing yourself to meet your old stamina level too quickly
Most importantly, be kind to yourself when your energy dips, but your responsibilities, humanity is easy to become frustrated or feel like You’re not doing enough, but dealing with the right approach. You will only regain your strength. You will build a deeper more lasting stamina that flows through every area of your life, including being there for your kids with joy and energy. Let’s start gently and rebuild your vitality from within.
Feeling a decrease in energy and stamina can be quite frustrating, especially when it’s affecting your daily activities like playing with your kids or maintaining an exercise routine. In Ayurveda, low energy levels can often relate to an imbalance in your doshas, particularly vata and kapha doshas.
Ashwagandha is indeed relevant in such scenarios. It is a renowned adaptogen used in Ayurveda that helps the body manage stress, boost energy levels, improve stamina, and promote overall wellness. Ashwagandha supports agni (digestive fire), enhancing nutrient absorption, which plays a crucial role in maintaining energy. Taking ashwagandha root powder (about 1 teaspoon) in warm milk before bed can be beneficial. Do ensure you’re not lactose intolerant if consuming with milk.
Additionally, addressing diet and routine, favor warm, nourishing foods to balance vata. Cooked grains, such as brown rice or quinoa, root vegetables, and dal are excellent choices. Consider incorporating ghee in your meals for its grounding effect. Avoid raw foods which may increase vata dosha, leading to more fatigue.
A daily self-massage with sesame oil before showering can also assist with keeping energy levels up. This practice grounding excess vata and improving circulation, boosting your vitality.
In terms of routines, prioritize regulating your sleep schedule. Aim for seven to eight hours per night, ideally sleeping by 10 pm. Consistent wake-up and sleep times support your circadian rhythm, and regularity is key for stability in energy levels.
Hydration is crucial — aim for warm water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration without extinguishing digestive fire. Keep stress at bay with pranayama or meditation practices; they can significantly impact your overall energy levels and mood.
If despite these recommendations, energy levels remain stagnant, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out underlying issues such as anemia or thyroid imbalances. Ayurveda works best when it fits into a comprehensive approach that considers all aspects of health.
