"व्यायामाचा आयुर्वेदीय दृष्टिकोन"

आजकाल बहुतांश लोक शरीर स्वास्थ्या बद्दल जागरूक झाले आहेत. त्यामुळे व्यायाम करण्याकडे लोकांचा कल वाढलेला दिसून येतो. फार कमी लोकांना व्यायामाचा ग्रंथोक्त आधाराबद्दल माहिती असते.आचार्य वाग्भटांनी दिनचर्या वर्णन करताना व्यायामा बद्दल केलेला हा ग्रंथोक्त आधार ..

 ✅व्यायामाचे फायदे -

- शरीर हलके होते.

- काम करण्याचे सामर्थ्य येते.

- भूक वाढते.

- वात शमतो.

- शरीर कणखर होते.                                          

❌व्यायाम कोणी करू नये ?

- ज्यांना अजीर्ण झाले आहे.

- ज्यांना वातपित्तात्मक विकार झाले आहेत.

- १६ वर्षयच्या आतील मुलांनी व्यायाम करू नये किंवा मोठ्या / तज्ज्ञांच्या देखरेखीखाली व्यायाम करावा.

- म्हाताऱ्या व्यक्तींनी व्यायाम करू नये.

                                                   

ऋतूनुसार व्यायाम -

स्निग्ध आहार घेणारे आणि बळकट शरीराच्या व्यक्तींनी -

शीतकाळी & वसंत ऋतू मध्ये - स्वतःच्या शक्तीच्या अर्धा व्यायाम करावा.

इतर ऋतू मध्ये अल्प व्यायाम करावा.

                                             

                                          

व्यायाम झाल्यावर काय करावे ?

- व्यायाम झाल्यानंतर हलक्या हाताने सर्वांगास सुखकर वाटेल असे मसाज करावा.

असा आहे अभ्यंगाचा आयुर्वेदोक्त आधार !!

 दिवाळी म्हंटले कि अभ्यंगस्नान आलेच ..

तर यामागे नक्की कोणता शास्त्रोक्त आधार आहे का ? आणि अभ्यंग का करावा ?आणि कोणी करू नये असे काही आहे का ? असे बरेच प्रश्न कधी कधी वैचारिकांच्या मनात येऊन जातात ..कोणाला त्याची उत्तर भेटतात तर कोणी विचार तसेच सोडून देतो.. 

                          

अभ्यंग हा आयुर्वेदामध्ये वर्णन केलेला दिनचर्येचा एक भाग आहे. याचा उल्लेख आचार्य वाग्भटांनी दिनचर्या वर्णन करताना केला आहे.

      अभ्यंगम आचरेत नित्यं स जरा श्रम वातहा |

      दृष्टी प्रसाद पुष्ट्यायुस्वप्नसुक्त्व दार्ढ्यकृत || (अ.ह्र.सु.२)

दररोज शरीराला तेल लावून अभ्यंग करावा. त्यामुळे जरा ( वार्धक्य ), श्रम , वात यांचा नाश करतो. दृष्टी शुद्ध करते, पुष्टी देतो, आयुष्य वाढवितो , निद्रा देतो , त्वचा सुकुमार करितो  व शरीर दृढ करतो.

    🎇 अभ्यंग कोणी करू नये ?

     वर्ज्योअभ्यंग कफग्रस्त संशुद्धयाजिर्णीभि: | (अ.ह्र.सु.२)

  - ज्यांना कफविकार झाले आहेत.

  - ज्यांनी वमन / विरेचन घेतले आहे.

  - ज्यांना अजीर्ण झाले आहे.
