IMPROVE YOUR KID’S HEALTH USING AYURVEDA     

Have you ever heard about child care in ayurveda? 

The concept of child care is also called Bala chikista or kaumarbhritya. It is one of the core branches of ayurveda which deals with pediatrics.

Child care in ayurveda shows a significant impact on a child’s physical, emotional, and psychological health. 

Ayurveda believes in taking care of a child’s health from the initial stage of the pregnancy.

Ayurvedic therapy for children is a traditional form of therapy that has been followed by our ancestors where a newborn baby is considered to have weak immunity since they are in the developing stage.

Immunity booster for children with Ayurveda 

The immunity system of children is very weak. Even changing seasons and minor changes in climate can cause flu and cold. 

A child’s immune system can be easily damaged due to the deposition of toxins in the digestive system which is known as Ama.

It is very important to balance the doshas of our body to increase immunity in our body. 

The balance between doshas makes it easier to maintain coordination between body and mind to make it calm.

Here are a few tips to maintain your kids’ immunity.

  • Avoid sweets, junk food, and food containing wheat to improve a child’s immunity. We should decrease the kapha dominant food in children’s diet.
  • Ayurveda encourages kids to consume green and leafy vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. They prescribe them to have homemade and hot food served at home.
  • Including spices like cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger helps to increase digestive fire and boosts digestion.
  • We should maintain proper time intervals to consume food.
  • Use chyawanprash and herbonic as part of the food to boost immunity in kids.
  • Herbs such as Brahmi and ashwagandha help in enhancing the mental and physical health of children.
