Occupational health is an important aspect in all occupations to promote and maintain the physical, psychological and social well-being of all the workers. One such important occupation is the teaching profession. It is very important to provide health services to teachers as they are predisposed to several health problems like Backpain, Hypertension, Metabolic disorders, Stress headache, Gastrointestinal issues, Osteoarthritis, etc.
Teachers find it very difficult in their day to day lives with their poor health. It is important to maintain their health in order to do their service with satisfaction. Ayurveda definitely has a way for it. Ayurveda emphasises on Dinacharya - practices that are to be followed every day. Dinacharya includes Waking up at brahmamuhurtam , applying oil over the body, etc. These practices ensure the proper health of a person.
Specifically in teachers, each condition can be treated effectively by ayurvedic practices.
1. Neck pain - Abhyangam, swedanam, nasyam
2. Back pain - Abhyangam, swedanam, nithya videchanam
3. Hypertension - regular intake of herbs like sarpagandha, Shiroabhyangam, etc
4. Metabolic diseases - Proper intake of sufficient nutrients, Correcting the agni, etc
5. Stress headache - Shiroabhyangam, Shirodhara, etc

These are some of the procedures that will help teachers manage their problems. Along with this, when there is intake of Ayurveda medicines, it will help them to be relieved from their issues.

In this competitive world, occupation has become an unavoidable part in everyone’s life. Thus, it is important to fight the problems that one is facing so that they can give their work to the best of their capability.
