Sleeping is one of the most underrated things that we do as people, and we just don't understand how much our bodies need sleep in order to heal.
Ever wondered how ancient wisdom can support modern health challenges? In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer, a seasoned wellness professional and two-time breast cancer survivor, dives into Ayurveda's timeless remedies to help manage the flu. As someone who’s navigating life with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, Laura brings a unique perspective on holistic health and recovery.
She starts by highlighting the importance of lifestyle choices in reducing cancer recurrence risks, reminding us that simple steps like eating more fruits and vegetables and limiting alcohol can make a big difference. Moving on to the heart of the episode, Laura shares three essential tips for bolstering your immune system and easing flu symptoms using Ayurveda. She emphasizes the need for adequate sleep, staying well-hydrated, and incorporating herbal remedies.
Ayurveda, which focuses on catching and treating illnesses early, offers a wealth of knowledge on maintaining health from the get-go. Laura explains the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and how understanding your dosha can guide you in choosing the right herbs and practices. For instance, she recommends ginger for its digestive benefits and tulsi for its respiratory support.
However, she advises caution with certain herbs like licorice if you have high blood pressure, underscoring the importance of consulting with a healthcare provider. One of the standout moments in this episode is Laura sharing a cherished family remedy involving mahanarayan oil to soothe sore throats and coughs. This simple yet effective tip is a testament to Ayurveda's practical approach to everyday health issues.
Whether you're dealing with the flu or looking to support your overall immune health, this episode offers valuable insights into integrating Ayurveda into your daily routine. Tune in to learn how these ancient practices can help you navigate modern health challenges with grace and wisdom.
