Improve sleep naturally with Ayurveda: The comprehensive guide for restful nights
Healthy sleep is the foundation for well-being, mental clarity, and sustained energy. Yet many people in Switzerland struggle with falling asleep or experiencing restless nights. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian healing art, offers natural and effective solutions to regain deep and restful sleep. In this article, you'll discover the most important Ayurvedic rituals, practical tips, and the most popular products from the Mana Shop that can transform your nights.
1. Establish a relaxing evening ritual
Ayurveda places great emphasis on a calming evening ritual (ratricharya) to prepare the body and mind for sleep. Try to go to bed at the same time every night—ideally before 10 p.m.—to respect your body's natural rhythm. Avoid screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime, as the blue light from smartphones and computers disrupts the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
Mana Shop Tip: Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation with our Ayurvedic, relaxing massage oil . Massage a few drops of the slightly warmed oil onto your feet and temples in circular motions. This traditional ritual calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and optimally prepares your body for sleep.
2. Eat light and digestible meals in the evening
A light dinner, eaten at least two hours before bedtime, promotes digestion and prevents nighttime waking. Opt for cooked vegetables, soups, and whole grains. Avoid heavy, fatty, or spicy foods, which can make it difficult to fall asleep.
3. Relaxation and Ayurvedic herbs for deep sleep
Plants play a central role in Ayurveda in calming the mind and promoting sleep. A warm cup of herbal tea with chamomile, ashwagandha, or lavender, about 30 minutes before bedtime, signals to your body that it's time to unwind.
Discover in the Mana Shop: Our Ayurvedic sleep tea “Deep Sleep” is specially formulated to calm the mind, reduce stress, and accompany your evening ritual. The unique blend of Ayurvedic herbs supports natural relaxation and faster sleep.
4. Create a sleep-promoting atmosphere
The bedroom environment has a major impact on sleep quality. Use a natural room fragrance with lavender or sweet orange to create a calming and pleasant atmosphere. Keep the room cool, dark, and quiet to optimize sleep.
