Smoking
Smoking from the point of view of Ayurveda
Smoking tobacco in cigarettes, cigars, or pipes is harmful to health. Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, which can have both stimulant and tranquillising psychoactive effects, and is poisonous in high doses. There are no safe substances in any tobacco products, but there are many toxic substances — from acetone and tar to nicotine and carbon monoxide.
Smoking can lead to a variety of ongoing complications in the body, as well as long-term effects on your body systems. It affects the central nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, sexuality and reproductive system, and also skin, hair, and nails.
Ayurveda considers nicotine addiction to be a mental disorder caused by the decision to rely on external substances rather than complex remedies such as herbs, acupuncture, yoga, exercise, and diet to reduce stress, anxiety, and other problems that people face.
How Ayurvedic doctors treat side effects of smoking
According to Ayurveda, the human body is a vehicle for spiritual experience. Ayurveda is known as a medical system that comprised physical, psychological, philosophical, ethical and spiritual health. Various Ayurvedic approaches are certainly helpful in reducing the adverse effects of tobacco use.
Ayurvedic herbal formulations, dietary supplements or medicines can reduce the side effects of tobacco consumption. These Ayurvedic herbs are beneficial for smokers:
Triphala
Ashwagandha
Shatavari
Bala
Ginseng
Get your health back on a simple but challenging task — quit smoking the Ayurvedic way.
