Restful Nights Await: Ayurveda for Sleep Disorders & Insomnia
Millions struggle with sleep disorders today—insomnia, restless nights, and poor-quality sleep that leaves the body and mind fatigued. While sleeping pills offer temporary relief, Ayurveda provides long-lasting solutions by balancing body energies, calming the nervous system, and cleansing the mind. At Mekosha, we help guests rediscover the joy of deep, restful sleep.
Ayurveda’s Perspective on Sleep
Ayurveda describes sleep (Nidra) as one of the three pillars of health (alongside food and balanced lifestyle). Poor sleep is linked to imbalances in:
• Vata dosha: racing thoughts, anxiety, and disturbed sleep.
• Pitta dosha: overheating, restlessness, and waking in the night.
• Kapha dosha: oversleeping yet still feeling tired.
The goal is to restore balance so the body naturally falls into deep, rejuvenating rest.
Mekosha’s Ayurvedic Therapies for Sleep Disorders
Guests undergo customized sleep-healing programs combining therapies, diet, and mindfulness:
• Shirodhara: Warm herbal oil poured rhythmically over the forehead, calming the nervous system and inducing deep relaxation.
• Abhyanga (full-body massage with warm oils): Reduces stress hormones and relaxes tense muscles.
• Nasya therapy: Clears nasal passages, aiding breath and calmness before sleep.
• Panchakarma detox: Eliminates toxins that disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycle.
• Sleep-enhancing diet: Light, sattvic meals with herbs like ashwagandha, nutmeg, and saffron.
• Evening yoga & pranayama: Promotes grounding and stillness before bedtime.
