Transitioning into that phase of my life where I finally creating something with my own flesh and blood felt the best thing in the world. Nine months of bliss and all the cute kicks, the high excitement and oodles of pampering. Though there were ups and downs, thicks and thins but carrying my child was perhaps the best feeling I ever had.

I actually got the actual taste of motherhood after my C-section delivery, when I lied there unconscious and exhausted and a herd of people wake me up to hand over the little life for me to nurture, feed and care. I was cut, opened and sealed. Hardly could I lift my head or open my eyes yet I had to gather the strength to caress another life!

That was just the beginning of a journey so solitary and exhausting, handling the baby and the chores, managing the money and all tasks. There was hardly a moment to sit and breathe. My body ached, eyes so tired, my mind craved for some rest but the heart denied!

As I began to adjust to the storm, learnt to sail it through; another grenade fell off the sky when I got my second baby. The ocean of stress coupled with the anxiety of my child’s health and the worries of putting food into the table took a toll on me.

I lost my sleep and my peace. Irritable and exhausted I would lash out every now and then. Spitting out the harsh words, I often ended up crying out the whole night. My condition deteriorated by the day.

But the alarm buzzed when I lost over 8 kgs in a month and tuned into the dark space of isolation. That’s when my uncle an Ayurvedic expert at Ayurcentral who came to visit my kids checked me up and prescribed me MENTACE tablet.

 He for the first time addressed my mental agony as a real issue and explained me how common it is for new mothers to go through all sorts of trauma and trouble. My husband was taught patience and I learnt yoga.

After three months of treatment, I could finally rejoice my moments of motherhood.

Post- partum stress can cause long-term damage to the body; Ayurveda effectively equips a new mother in fighting her battles alone!

People are stunned by the number of years I have spent on this planet. 39 and a mother of 2, they think either I am blessed with great genes or I have some knack of looking young, may be expert make up materials or some expensive treatment. 
But honestly, the truth is neither of the above assumptions. In fact, if you look closely, many people look better in their late 30s than in their 20s and many do not. The difference is not brought by layers of makeup or expensive treatments but it’s the lifestyle that starts reflecting on the face and body.

I have always believed in the power of healthy living, by which I mean proper diet, regular work out, living stress-free and taking proper care of the body and mind. I got introduced to Brihatri Moringa Powder during my first pregnancy and since then it has been my staple supplement for all requirements. ( I take only half teaspoon twice daily)

Brihatri Moringa Powder is blessed with high amounts of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and magnesium, all of which are very essential for the body. My immune booster and nutrition punch also happens to be an amazing anti-aging agent which I discovered just a few months ago.

An article on Moringa Powder enlightened me about its great contents of anti-oxidizing compounds and cytokinins, the plant hormones in abundance. These hormones delay the process of aging by slowing down the cell division.

So, here it is, the secret to looking ageless lies in eating healthy, sleeping enough, living stress-free and relying on Brihatri Moringa Powder to take care of the rest!

Looking at the amazing performance of a gifted athlete the very first question that pops out in our head is “What does he eat?” Rightly  so. Because it’s the diet that builds up every cell of the body, feeds the mind and controls every aspect of the being. Indeed, we are what we eat!!!

So, here is a little secret that Indian athletes swear by for all the glory and accolades, the achievements and laurels that they bring to the nation.

No, it’s not steroids or some drugs, nor any protein bars or temporary aid. The secret lies in the wraps of nature. A secret used since ancient times by the yodhas, the kings, the brave and courageous fighters ,  passed on for generations for eternal strength and agility.

The  ancient magical herb – Ashwagandha, an energy-boosting dose with nature’s goodness. Ashwagandhadilehya is revered for its ability to boost strength, stamina and focus – both mentally and physically.

* A great adaptogenic, Ashwagandha relieves the stress and lets the body calm down thereby enhancing performance and concentration on the game.

* Other noteworthy benefits of using Ashwagandhadilehya is improved muscle strength, lean body mass, and maintained body fat percentage.

A recent study was designed to determine the efficacy of Ashwagandha on athletes have provided substantial proof to back the traditional faiths.  This ancient herb is being actively supported by scientific studies. Researchers are exploring and confirming Ashwagandha’s many mind and body benefits desired by today’s sophisticated wellness-focused athletes.

 Living life in front of the camera was my dream since the day I learned the word ‘dream’ and when the moment finally came to realise all the moments I kept in the folds of my heart it all felt like a fairy tale.

But beyond the enchanting clicks and the flamboyant parties, glittery glamour and flashy life there lies a dark tunnel; the darkness of stress and fear, the anxiety of failure and mishaps, the mistakes of being bedazzled and carried away.

Climbing the ladder of my career, I didn’t even realise when stress and overburden silently crept into my life. I started working 18 hours a day, curbed my eating for getting that zero figure body, cut down on my sleep to accommodate my work and went into the trap of a sedentary life.

My life soon took a toll on my beauty. The rigorous styling of my face and hair wrecked my looks for good.  My hair is scraped back, gelled down, drenched in hairspray and ravaged with heated tools almost daily, making the quality, lengths and scalps suffer the wrath.

As they say, the lens bares the soul and captures it all. Soon, my ignorance gleamed through my face with the skin dull and dry and shoulder covered with flakes. Dandruff made me cautious and the itching made it difficult for me to hold on the pose for long. Many models suffer from scalp issues and dandruff and if not treated properly it can even mean the end of career.

On a bit research, I realised dandruff is a bigger complaint amongst models than dry tresses, lack of volume and split ends. I asked a few colleagues for the possible solutions and the maximum vote was for Ayurvedic treatment.

The combination of Dandrall oil and Brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo was voted as the best cure and indeed it was. My scalp became clear just after the first wash and after a couple of weeks there was no sign of flakes at all. The natural ingredients like tulsi, ginger, neem in brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo works wonder on treating scalp infections and dandruff.

The natural dandruff solutions are widely available at the Ayurcentral stores across the city. Check out their amazing range today!

Our skin is like a little toddler that craves for attention, pampering and coddling; and it never fails to throw a tantrum when left unchecked. While for some the skin can be generally well-behaved and self-maintained, for some it’s very sensitive. No matter what the skin type, inflammation, allergy, redness or puffiness can blanket the beauty any day.

I recently had my encounter of worse acne and eventually went overboard on acne treatments using all the harsh ointments and soaps thus banning my skin with red, peeling mess. Every cream, ointment or moisturizing lotion that I picked just made it worse and made me feel like the face is on fire. Loading up on chemical exfoliant and harsh acne treatment, I ruined my skin for good.

It was during one such episode of inflamed skin that I came across Brihatri moisturizing lotion. The calming nature and cooling feature of Aloevera and Green tea extracts immediately soothed my burning skin. Being an Ayurvedic product I had the confidence of its gentle impact and no adverse effects —which was my primary focus, as I can hardly imagine my angry face turning into a red monster by a side effect of some costly cosmetic.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion caught my attention for its natural contents, great reviews and perfect solutions to my skin problems. It inhibits the production of pro inflammatory prostanoids by blocking cyclooxygenase activity thus have a soothing effect on inflamed skin. Its anti-oxidants take the redness down a few notches within a day while the cooling effect calms the senses. It’s comforting scent and non-sticky gel just adds to the glamour.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion has been my go-to solution ever since, not just for inflammation but as a daily winter care that protects the skin from the winter chills or sun grills.

Pretty late in a winter evening, a tall, dapper gentleman reluctantly walked into my clinic. A middle-aged man tucked in a neat suit, a white shirt and golden cuffs with an unsettled face took the seat across the table.

He introduced himself politely, an IPS officer quite successful in his profession with great feats to his name sat numb with an influx of conflicting thoughts expressed subtly with a frown in his forehead; for he could not make his mind whether to speak and what to speak.

Looking across the room, he hesitantly opened up. He narrated his story about the glory of a successful career and a curse of loneliness that creeps him in the dark nights. Late in his thirties, the eligible bachelor fights his own battle with anxiety and depression.

Growing up in an utterly dysfunctional family witnessing the ugliest face of a couple, the concept of marriage and relationship took a bitter shape in his mind. Now in his late thirties, the feeling of being unsettled and the anxiety about the passing age is creating a turmoil in his head. Added to that is the stress of his demanding job that’s taking a toll on his sleep and his peace.

The anxiety of missing out on life kept him awake all night and the stress of balancing a thousand thoughts made him even more drained. He wanted a life, a family, but the scars of his childhood hazed every frame of his happily ever after story.

After listening to his woes and worries, I empathized with his thoughts and understood his agony. I counseled him that every individual is different, so are their perceptions and experiences. For his stress and anxiety, I prescribed Mentace tablet for 3 months.

Along with the medicines, I strictly advised him to start meditation and yoga and join regular counseling sessions to take the fears imprinted in his character out of his mind. I explained him that being chained to the dark past, one cannot weave a free future.

Following the instructions, taking the medicines regularly and with right counseling, the deep wounds of the past were all healed.

Parents often fight, shout and argue in front of their children without even realizing how deep that can damage the little heart!

Ritika, a 30-year-old corporate lawyer, cried out for help for her recent inability to fall asleep. The trouble began four months ago when she started to wake up at 3 a.m. every morning and she was unable to fall back to sleep. Consequently feeling “out of it” during the day. Thinking of it as a passing phase, Ritika stuck to the home remedies and suggested solutions continuing her struggle for days and months.

Exhausted and burned, Ritika would drag herself through the day with extreme tiredness and fatigue. Her performance suffered and confidence quivered. She was forgetful, absent-minded and missed quite a few important leads in her cases. The meticulous girl who never made a mistake in her career is now failing to type even a simple document correctly.

Her concerns fed fuel when she stayed awake for three days straight without even a short nap of peaceful sleep. Worrying about losing her sanity or dying of sleep deprivation she rushed to the nearest AyurCentral clinic to seek help. Worried about the repercussions of the sleeping pills or the artificial aids, she opted for Ayurveda to find a natural remedy.

The Ayurvedic doctor listened to Ritika attentively, asked her a few questions and eased her anxiety with his confidence and calm. He prescribed BrihartiAshwagandhadiLehyam to combat her anxiety and sleep disorder and taught her a few yoga techniques to boost sound sleep. 

AshwagandhadiLehya is a potent herbal revitalising tonic that work wonders in relieving stress and combating anxiety. Its safety is proven and effectiveness is stamped by several researches. Its anti-oxidant properties and mild tranquilizing effect reduces tension and irritability, relieves anxiety and relaxes muscles , thereby inducing sleep.

The prescribed dosage is 1 teaspoon full to be taken along with milk twice daily. A few days of the Ayurvedic dose rebooted her life back to track.
