- Get up early in the morning
- Ayurveda strongly recommends waking up early in the morning. It keeps you fit and active.
- Waking up early gives you more time to think about your body. You will get more time for exercise and massage.
- You know the old saying “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”. It’s true. If your knee joint will be healthy, you will not kneel down and can make more money till the end of life!
- Exercise
- Exercise doesn’t always mean gym workout. It includes Yoga, Asana, Pranayam, Walking etc. also.
- Different muscle stretching exercises should be added in your routine exercise schedule. It will help you in subsiding morning stiffness.
- Acharya Charaka has given very detailed description about importance of Vyayama (Exercise). Exercise keeps muscle and bone strong. It keeps body lite, resistance to discomfort and improves appetite.
- Exercise saves us from extra fat deposition on belly and hip. It results in less load on knee joint.
- Ayurveda also gives limit to which exercise should be done. When there are perspiration, increased respiration, lightness of the body and palpitation occurs, Exercise must be stopped. (Ch.Su. 7/34) It should not be excessive than limit otherwise it may harm you.
- Massage & Steam
- ‘Vayu’ is responsible for Ageing Process and degenerative changes in the body. To slow down the degenerative changes, we must win over Vayu. Vayu is situated at tactile sensory organ and this sensory organ is lodged in the skin. So regular full body massaging (Especially at joints) with medicated oil keeps Vayu away.
- Acharya Charaka has stated in his book ‘Charaka Samhita’ (Written about 5000 years ago) that when we can bend dry stick of wood by Snehana (massage-Oleation) and Swedana (steam), then what to say about human body (Definitely we can bend). So here we want to explain that by oil massage (or/& internal use) and steam, we can give stability, strength and movability to the joints.
