Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of health, teaches us that most diseases stem from three main causes:
Mental errors, including bad dietary or behavioural habits, poor hygiene, consumption and abuse of harmful substances, unhealthy lifestyle choices
Time passing by
The unhealthy contact of sensory organs with objects
You might wonder how we can counteract these factors and prevent diseases. Well, the key lies in cleansing and harmonising our sensory organs: this way, we can perceive the world with clarity, setting the foundation for optimal and lasting health.
Why are the 5 senses so important?
Our senses are the gateways through which we experience and interpret the world. When they are clean and functioning at their peak, we perceive life with clarity and precision. A well-balanced sensory system not only sharpens our awareness but also supports the free flow of life energy and deepens our connection with ourselves and the world around us.
Ancient Ayurvedic practices for purifying the senses
Here are some of the most effective ones:
Kavalagraha and Gandusa, therapeutic rinses performed using oils, herbal infusions, or salt water to reduce the excess doshas and cleanse nose and mouth. Kavalagraha involves gargling, while Gandusa entails holding a substantial amount of liquid in the mouth without gargling. These practices are particularly effective for treating oral and dental diseases, bad breath, altered taste, sore throat, and dullness of senses.
Akshitarpana, a gentle eye bath with medicated oils or decoctions, performed to relieve visual fatigue, improve eyesight and prevent eye diseases. The liquid is applied while the eyes are opened and closed rapidly, enhancing absorption.
Karna poorana, an ear care treatment where specific oils or liquids are administered using a dropper. This practice alleviates earaches, headaches, and neck pain, and is particularly effective for addressing Vata imbalances.
Nasya, a traditional treatment designed to purify the nasal passages and respiratory tract, offers relief from congestion and enhances concentration. This practice is especially effective for reducing excess Vata and Kapha doshas. Specifically, medicated oils are used for Vata imbalances and nervous system disorders, whereas herbal decoctions, saltwater solutions, or the classic Neti Lota are applied in case of Kapha imbalances, such as colds, allergies, and sinus congestion.
Why cleansing your senses matters
Reduced stress and anxiety: cleansing the senses fosters profound relaxation and enhances mindfulness, helping you stay fully present and grounded in the moment.
Enhanced overall health: sensory purification supports the optimal function of internal organs and boosts immune resilience.
Slowing down the ageing process: purifying the senses helps keep young both body and mind.
Boosted energy: you will experience a surge in vitality, sharper focus, and a deeper connection with your inner self.
