Unlocking the Secrets of Ayurveda Self-Care: Rituals to Find Sanctuary Within Yourself

In the midst of a global pandemic, many of us have had to adjust to a new reality where our favorite spas, restaurants, and gyms are no longer accessible. However, Ananta Ajmera, the director of Ayurveda at THE WELL, reminds us that we can still find refuge within ourselves through ancient self-care practices.

Ayurveda, a practice rooted in self-care rather than products or practitioners, is becoming more relevant as people seek ways to improve their health and wellness. As we commemorate International Self-Care Day 2020, Ajmera and THE WELL are championing the idea that self-care doesn’t have to be restricted to luxurious spas or wellness centers.

THE WELL, a New York City-based luxury wellness hub, has transitioned to virtual courses and e-commerce to continue offering their services to a global audience. Their latest digital engagement, Reemerge, focuses on Ayurveda techniques to help individuals navigate the post-COVID-19 world with ease.

Ajmera shares simple daily rituals, from embracing circadian rhythms to incorporating warm, cooked foods and essential oils into your routine. These practices are designed to upgrade overall wellness, relieve stress, and boost immunity during uncertain times.

From waking up early to giving yourself an oil massage, these Ayurvedic practices can be easily incorporated into your daily life to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By embracing these timeless rituals, you can create a safe haven within yourself, even in the absence of external comforts.

So, while the world around us may be in flux, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda invites us to look inward and discover the healing power that resides within each of us.
