Blood Pressure Explained: Changing WHO Norms, Modern Medicine, Ayurveda, and the Role of AI

Image
  Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most commonly measured health parameters today, yet its meaning, interpretation, and even the definition of “normal” have changed significantly over time . Modern medicine, global health bodies like the WHO, ancient Ayurveda, and now Artificial Intelligence (AI) all approach blood pressure from different—but increasingly complementary—angles. Understanding these perspectives together gives a clearer picture of why blood pressure matters and how it should be managed holistically. Blood Pressure in Modern Medicine In modern medicine, blood pressure is defined as the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of arteries . It is expressed using two numbers: Systolic BP – pressure when the heart contracts Diastolic BP – pressure when the heart relaxes It is written as systolic/diastolic (for example, 120/80 mmHg).

The Future of Skin Care Through Ayurveda and AI

Image
  The Changing Face of Skin Care in the AI Era Skin is more than a covering — it is a mirror reflecting our inner health. From acne and eczema to psoriasis and pigmentation, skin disorders are among the most visible indicators of imbalance in the body and mind. In Ayurveda, every skin ailment is seen as a result of internal disharmony, primarily in the doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha .  Today, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) , modern dermatology is experiencing a digital revolution, where machine learning models can diagnose skin diseases with remarkable accuracy. The fusion of Ayurveda and AI promises a future where ancient healing wisdom and futuristic technology coexist for holistic skin wellness. Ayurvedic Understanding of Skin Diseases Ayurveda classifies skin diseases under the broad term “Kushta Roga.” According to the classical texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita , there are 18 types of Kushta , further divided into Maha Kushta (major)...

The Modern Paradox: Technology and Tension

Image
🌿 We live in a world where artificial intelligence simplifies our work, automates our routines, and connects us instantly, yet never before have we felt so mentally exhausted. The convenience of technology often comes at the cost of constant stimulation , endless notifications, and subtle emotional fatigue. From early morning screen checks to late-night scrolling, the nervous system remains in a state of digital overdrive . Our minds run faster than our breath, and the body silently absorbs this invisible pressure as stress — the modern epidemic that even AI cannot cure. 🌿 Understanding Stress Through the Ayurvedic Lens In Ayurveda , stress is not merely a mental state; it is an imbalance in doshas — the three energies that govern our body and mind, namely,  Vata , Pitta , and Kapha . When Vata (air and space) is vitiated due to overstimulation, multitasking, or irregular routines, it leads to anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. Excess Pitta (fire and water) shows...
