Aayurved - #3924

I’ve been hearing a lot about aayurved lately and how it can help with both physical and mental health, but I don’t really understand the full scope of what it covers. I’ve been dealing with low energy, poor digestion, and a lot of stress for the past year, and I’m wondering if aayurved could offer some kind of long-term solution. Most of the treatments I’ve tried so far are temporary fixes, and I want something that really gets to the root of the problem. From what I understand, aayurved is about balancing the body’s doshas. But how do I even figure out what my dosha is? I read online that you can take quizzes, but they all seem to give different results. Can an Ayurvedic doctor diagnose my dosha more accurately, and is that essential for starting aayurved treatments? One thing I’m particularly curious about is diet. A lot of people say aayurved focuses heavily on what you eat and how it affects your overall health. I’m not sure if I should be eating more cooling foods or warming foods, or even what that means. Does aayurved have simple guidelines for someone just starting out? I’m also interested in the herbal remedies used in aayurved. Are they safe for everyone, or should I be cautious about trying them without consulting a professional? I’ve seen so many products labeled as “Ayurvedic” in stores, but I have no idea which ones are genuine and effective. How do I make sure I’m not buying something fake or harmful? Lastly, I’d like to know if aayurved can help with chronic stress and sleep issues. Are there specific treatments or therapies that focus on mental health? If so, are they things I can practice at home, or do they require going to a clinic? I’d appreciate any advice on where to start and how to incorporate aayurved into daily life.
