By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India The Great Misconception of Modern Yoga Today, yoga has become a billion-dollar industry — filled with colorful mats, Instagram-perfect poses, and fitness-driven trends. Yet, as the body bends, the mind often remains restless. Have we mistaken the shadow for the substance? According to Sage Patanjali, “Yogaḥ chitta vritti nirodhaḥ” — Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. In other

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India Can your workouts actually make you smarter? Emerging neuroscience says yes — physical exercise is not just about muscle growth; it’s about neurogenesis — the birth of new brain cells. Once believed impossible after adulthood, modern research has overturned this myth. Your brain is constantly capable of regeneration — and you can literally train it to grow sharper, more resilient, and younger. I

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India Can repeated sexual rejection from a partner literally shut down a man’s desire? Science says yes—and Ayurveda knew it centuries ago. Loss of libido isn’t always about testosterone or aging. Often, it begins in the mind, corrodes the heart, and eventually dulls the flame of ojas, the very essence of masculine vigor. In a society that rarely discusses male sexual trauma, it’s time to spotlight ho

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India Why You Can’t Sleep Even When You’re Exhausted You’ve tried melatonin. Herbal teas. Guided meditations. You scroll Instagram at 2 a.m. reading posts about “sleep hygiene” with tired eyes and a wired brain. Still, you’re wide awake. But what if the root of your insomnia isn’t in your mind—or even in your hormones? What if it’s coming from the C1 vertebra at the top of your spine and a blocked Ajn

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India The Forgotten Symphony Within What if your hormones weren’t the problem—but the messengers of your inner imbalance? In today’s world, where fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, and low libido are dismissed as “normal aging,” we’ve forgotten that the body was designed for vibrance, not decline. Ayurveda—India’s timeless science of life—knew this centuries ago: when your Agni (metabolic fire) and Ojas (

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India   The Forgotten Intelligence of the Belly What if your mood, memory, and mental clarity weren’t ruled by your brain — but by your gut? Today, neuroscience calls it the gut–brain axis, revealing that our intestines communicate directly with our brain through a vast neural network and the vagus nerve. But Ayurveda, over 5,000 years ago, described the same truth — that a disturbed “Jataragni” (dig

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India When your body aches after sitting too long, it isn’t just “fatigue.” It’s your body pleading for movement — its most natural medicine. Modern lifestyles have turned the human body, once designed to run, twist, bend, and stretch, into a still, sedentary structure. According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity is now the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, causing o

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India The Bed That Breaks Your Back Every night, you surrender your body to it for six to eight hours of “rest.” But what if the very surface meant to heal you is, instead, deforming your spine—millimeter by millimeter, night after night? Studies show that poor sleep posture and mattress misalignment can alter spinal curvature, compress intervertebral discs, and even mimic chronic pain syndromes that

By Dr Rakesh Ayureshmi, Ayureshmi Ayurveda Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala, India The Hidden Blueprint Beneath Your Spine Why do some bodies seem born with a tendency toward spinal fusion or structural anomalies like sacralisation, while others remain perfectly aligned? Could it be more than genetics—perhaps a deeper prakṛtic expression of one’s constitution? In Ayurveda, this question points us toward Asthisāra Purusha—those endowed with the essence of strong, stable bones—a
