Understanding the 80/20 Rule in Ayurveda: Less Effort, Better Health

I will never forget when my friend Aarti , admitted that she had already abandoned Ayurveda in the course of three weeks. I could not keep up, you know, I said, looking really beaten. One morning routine, then another, and then one day I was suddenly feeling that it was all no use. Sound familiar? You are not the only one and the thing is that you have been going about it.

The Ayurvedic 80/20 rule in Ayurveda is not a fashionable trick or a cheat. It is a re-packaged ancient wisdom to our hectic lives in the modern world. The idea? Ayurvedic 80% of the time, and be human 20%. No guilt trips. Not starting all over again every Monday.
