Ayurvedic Bedtime Rituals for Beauty Rest
A calming, nightly self-care routine that nurtures your mind, skin, and sleep cycle.
In today's fast-paced lifestyle, our stress levels directly affect our hormones. When our sleep rhythm gets disturbed, it impacts our skin, hair, mood, digestion, and overall well-being. Ayurveda considers sleep (Nidra) as one of the three essential pillars of life along with Diet (Ahara) and Balanced Lifestyle (Brahmacharya).
Deep, restful sleep helps cellular repair, rejuvenation, hormonal balance, glowing skin, and mental stability. However, imbalanced doshas like increased Vata can cause restlessness and Pitta imbalance can cause overheating and irritability at night.
Why Proper Sleep Matters?
- Supports hormonal balance
- Boosts skin rejuvenation & collagen repair
- Strengthens immunity & emotional stability
- Prevents premature aging & dullness
This Ayurvedic ritual will help your body shift from “active mode” to “rest & restore mode”. Let’s begin.
