Know Ayurveda

Ayurveda has fully described the science of life in biological terms extending the knowledge in a systematic manner describing the Phenomenon of health, disease, methods of diagnostics, prognostics, and health care both Promotive, Preventive and Curative.  Because of such developments, Ayurveda could emerge as a complete system of Health Science and Medicine.

When one compares Ayurveda with contemporary Western Medicine, he may perceive that Ayurveda is an Experimental Science in contrast to Western Medical Science which is largely Experimental.  Ayurveda is a classical Holistic Health Science as compared to Modern Medicine which is essentially a Reductionistic science.  Ayurveda is dominantly Philosophical and Physiological in its presentation while modern medicine is more physical and anatomical.  Ayurveda is strongly Pro-Nature as compared to modern medicine which may appear many times Anti-Nature.  It is a diet and life style oriented system of health science in contrast to the drug and surgery oriented nature of modern medicine.  Ayurveda is strongly promotive and preventive system of medicine as compared to Western Medicine where the main concern is disease and cure.  Thus Ayurveda is a highly positive system of Medicine and Health Science.

It pacifies kapha and pitta dosha (Liquid and Heat Energy) At IVAC, this herb is used extensively in treating all acute and chronic viral hepatitis, administered in the form of paste and fresh juice of the whole plant along with few other herbs. There were proven records of drastic reduction in the bilirubin level in the blood after the intake of our medication along with our detoxification therapy and rejuvenation therapy. VAIDYA TALK Hepatitis: Inflammation of the liver that is associate d with damage or death of liver cells is Hepatitis. There are two types, acute hepatitis (attack that eventually heals) and chronic hepatitis (ongoing liver problems). This condition may result from various infectious and non-infectious etiologies. Infectious etiologies include viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms. Medications, toxins, alcohol and autoimmune disorders may cause noninfectious hepatitis. Viruses cause most cases of hepatitis. The type of hepatitis is named for the virus that causes it, for example, hepatitis A , hepatitis B or hepatitis C. You can help prevent some viral forms by getting a vaccine. Sometimes hepatitis goes away by itself. If it does not, it can be treated with drugs. Sometimes hepatitis lasts a lifetime. Some people who have hepatitis have no symptoms. Others may have loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, dark-colored urine and pale bowel movements, abdominal discomfort, yellowish dis-colouration of eyes and skin, bloating sensation of abdomen, fever. The only treatment for hepatitis is rest, combined with a high protein/high carbohydrate diet to repair damaged liver cells a nd protect the liver. For treatment of nonviral hepatitis, the doctor will first remove the harmful substance by flushing out the stomach by inducing vomiting or hyperventilation. If necessary, the patient with drug-induced hepatitis may have to be treated with corticosteroids. With the exception of the treatments for specific causes of Hepatitis mentioned previously, the treatment of Hepatitis usually requires a diagnosis of the specific cause of the hepatitis and treatment directed at the specific cause, e.g., removal of a gallstone blocking the bile duct. Ayurvedic approach of Hepatitis (Yakrit Shoth):

In Ayurveda viral hepatitis is known as yakrit shoth, shoth means swelling and yakrit mean liver. Its main reason is an increase of pitta dosha or it can be agantooj (external) according to Ayurveda. Acute hepatitis usually results in jaundice , which is a yellowish pigmentation of the eyes, urine, and later, the nails and skin. This is called as "Kamla" in Ayurveda, and is divided into two types: "Bahupitta Kamla" and "Ruddhapath Kamla". The first type is caused by excessive breakdown of the red blood cells, whereas the second type is caused by obstruction of bile flow due to swelling in the liver cells or due to some actual obstruction in the bile duct. The main apparent difference in the two is that feces (stools) are normal colored in the first type, and pale or whitish in the second type. Treatment for both types of "Kamla" is radically different. Ayurvedic medicines are very effective in both acute and chronic hepatitis. Herbal medicines useful in hepatitis are: Kutki (Picrorrhiza kurroa), Trikatu (Three pungent herbs), Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata), Bhrungraj (Eclipta alba), Bhumiamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Triphala (Three fruits), Kakmachi (Solanum nigrum) and Sharpunkha (Tephrosia purpurea). Most of these medicines act directly on the liver cells, reduce inflammation and swelling, and normalize cell function. Some of these medicines have strong anti-viral activity. Some medicines boost the immune me chanism of the body. These medicines help in bile secretion and improve appetite. Because of these properties, the medicines are effective in all types of hepatitis. Give this hard-working and essential part of your body a rest and a tune-up. Ayurveda is an integrated system of specific theories and techniques employing diet, herbs, exercise, meditation, yoga and massage or bodywork. The treatments of Hepatitis include a set of appropriate Panchakarma treatments and other supportive therapies. A mild Virechana Panchakarma (The purgation therapy) will be better useful in detoxification of the liver and improves the functions of the liver and prevent the further damage of the liver cells. Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Sashtikashali pinda sweda, Sarvanga dhara are helpful to strengthen the nerve endings and improve the metabolism as well as blood circulation for each and every cells of the liver. The treatment comprises diet regulations, daily regimens with yoga and a stress free lifestyle along with an excellent rejuvenating therapy to improve the immunity thereby providing great relief from the symptoms of Hepatitis.

What we can do in our life.....

Everyday, we start it with new hope and run behind something which we think we want to achieve and make our life meaningful. What is this life????? If somebody talks about some philosophy, we say that it is good to hear but not to follow. What LIFE means. None of us know our end. How we live is more important than how much we live.

Just think that you are sitting outside an ICU unit praying for your beloved one’s life. He/she is XYZ for you till his last second of life. But what makes him a “BODY” from his name after that his last second of life. Even though, he is very close/related to you, you will also call him “body” after his death. What is this that lies between the last second of his life and first second of his death? What about his relations, commitments, goals, hardwork, dreams etc etc after his last second of life….. No value. Somebody can follow him but how long. One day the follower will also undergo the same thing. But, we forget these things and live thinking that we are eternal. We want to better our standard of life and do all the efforts for that, forgetting that somebody is looking at us and hoping that atleast they get one tenth of what we have…

Everyday, when we dress, shave, makeup etc we think that “I should look good, or ok.” We compare our dress, height, hairstyle, bike, or car with others. If somebody looks at us we feel great and we dream and compare ourselves with those whom we think well than us. But those who look at us?????

There are people who dream for the one full meal, for better clothes, or atleast for the basic needs. There are parents who sacrifice everything for their children or try their level best to fill every stomach in the family.

What we learn from our life???? Nothing. We keep calculating and dreaming for the best and try for it calling it as positive thinking. But what good we do in this short life span. How much we are helping others without expecting anything in return.

Do something good to mankind. Help someone at your level best. You never and don’t know what tomorrow is? Do help someone without any expectation or your own benefit or a tax benefit. Do it from your heart. Don’t let others know about this, because you are doing this for yourself not for publicity or for tax benefit. Enjoy the happiness from this when you do such thing from your heart.

AGE AND DATE OF BIRTH

We are all lying in the matter of OUR AGE. 

Everybody is concerned about the age.  We are very curious about the changes i.e. natural changes according to our age. If it is a newborn, each month is a milestone.


But we consider our age after our birth, i.e. the age starts once we take take birth to this great material world live.  But what about the gestational age i.e. time period in mothers womb. Why we are not considering that particular important time of our life where we actually form and come to this world. But this important time period has no relevance after our birth. 


The gestation period is the only time where we will be so close to our mother, both physically and mentally.  We are 100% dependent on our mother. Living a life in her womb under her total care. 


Mother is the one who is happy when we grow.  Our each movements, growth and development makes her happiest in the world. 


I feel my life started with my mother not on the date when i born......................
