Image
No matter how much sleep you get, do you always wake up feeling tired? Do even small tasks make you feel tired for the rest of the day? You’re not the only one who has heard this before. A lot of people are tired all the time these days, and they don’t always know why. This is when Understanding Chronic Fatigue becomes very important. Chronic fatigue is more than just being tired; it affects your energy, mood, productivity, and quality of life as a whole. What is Chronic Fatigue? Chronic Fatigue is a condition in which you feel physically and mentally tired all the time, even when you rest. It can last for weeks, months, or even years, unlike regular tiredness. People often go through: Brain fog or trouble focussing. Pain in the joints and muscles. Not very motivated. Problems with sleep. More stress or irritability.

Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health Day

Image
Mental Health Day is a day to stop and think about an important question: How am I, really? But for a lot of people, talking about their mental health or getting counseling still feels weird. We often think of spa days or fitness routines as ways to take care of ourselves, but we forget that taking care of our minds is just as important. We at Ikyam Health think that mental health is not a luxury but a need, and counselling is one of the best ways to take care of it. Understanding What Mental Health Day Really Means: Mental Health Day isn’t just about raising awareness; it’s also about doing something. It tells us to take care of our mental health as much as our physical health. In a world where burnout, anxiety, and loneliness are becoming more common, taking care of your mental health is a way to show respect for yourself. Why Counselling Is an Act of Self-Care: Counselling gives you a safe, non-judgmental place to talk about your thoughts, feelings, and problems. It’s not ju...

Gut Health & Mental Health: The Connection You Didn’t Know About

Image
Have you ever felt “butterflies” in your stomach before an important event or had your appetite changed when you were stressed? These things aren’t just happening by chance. Your brain and gut are always talking to each other. One of the most interesting and important discoveries in modern medicine is the connection between  gut health and mental health . It is changing the way we think about emotional health. Your Second Brain Lives in Your Gut: The enteric nervous system, which is the gut’s own nervous system, talks to the brain through a network of nerves and chemical messengers. This system makes almost all of the serotonin in your body, which is the hormone that affects mood, sleep, and happiness. So, when your gut isn’t working right, it can also affect your mood and mental health. How Gut Imbalance Affects Mental Health: Poor  gut health  can lead to inflammation, nutrient absorption issues, and imbalance in gut bacteria — all of which may contribute to anxiety, st...

How Meditation Therapy Improves Brain Health and Emotional Balance

Image
Have you ever noticed that a few minutes of silence can completely change how you feel? In a world full of noise, screens, and stress, silence is now a rare treat. But science is now proving what ancient wisdom has long known: meditation therapy is a great way to improve brain health and emotional balance. We use this powerful practice as part of our holistic care at Ikyam Health to help you get mental clarity, emotional strength, and long-term health. The Science Behind Meditation and the Brain: Your brain isn’t “doing nothing” when you meditate. In fact, it is changing its wiring right now. Meditation on a regular basis increases the amount of grey matter in parts of the brain that control memory, learning, and emotions. It lowers activity in the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that controls stress and fear, and boosts the prefrontal cortex, which controls focus, decision-making, and compassion. Meditation is like exercise for your mind: it makes it stronger. It helps y...
