Ayurvedic Healing And Beyond

In today’s episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj is exploring the one single behavioural pattern that is the root cause for so many diseases we see. It's about doing everything in a last minute rush. In today’s times, we have unfortunately glorified and almost take pride in being constantly busy and indulge in doing things under a last minute rush without realizing the health issues it causes us. This episode explores why we do this, and how to come out of this pattern.  The topics discussed in this episode are:  Why is always being in a last minute rush bad for you?    Why do some people feel that they can be productive only in a last minute rush? Is there a relationship between last minute rush and creativity? What are the diseases that come up because of constantly living in a last minute rush? How to make the shift to operating from a calm place?
