Heat and Cold Potency How it works on the Human Body?
Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
Today we are going to discus about the effect of Heat potency and
cold potency according to ayurveda.
In this universe everything coming under
the sun or moon as I said in my previous blogs.
Ayurveda basically works on the
opposite principles.
When the heat energy aggravates in the body and creating a
disease that can clear off by applying the opposite principle that is the cold
energy which we gain from the moon.
Our plant kingdom in the earth are either
heat-producing or cold producing but as an exception a very few they are not too
cold or too hot.
The Human body structured as the plants for their food.
Their
dentition too arranged like that as there is small-canines for human beings.
But for carnivorous animals have prominent canine teeth.
Just because they are
eating the flesh of the animals.
The human beings are supposed to eat only
vegetarian food.
In our previous decades the plant kingdom were available in plenty
for the food as well as medicines.
In ayurveda basically we
use the plants only as medicines mostly.
It works as i said above on
the opposite concept.
That means when elevation of Heat element in the body we
apply the herbs which are having the cold element and vice versa.
Hence resulting the cure of the ailments.
That's all for today.
Thank you for Reading and Sharing my Blogs.

How should we Eat our food?
Hello Readers and my Dear Patients,
How should we Eat our
food?
This question has got the relevance at this period of time.
In Ayurveda texts explain what should we eat,when we should eat,type of food and
many more..
According to ayurveda we should eat the food in a calm and
clean place,should take food in time.
Ayurveda science suggesting two meals in a
day once early in the morning and the next one should be in the evening.
And
also giving the following directions to have the food.
Should not talk while eating,
Should not take faster,
Should not be very slow,
Should not sleep just after having food,
Should not walk,run ,climib steps or travel just after food
And also tells that,we should smell the food,we have to
touch and see the food.
By the smell itself our digestive glands secrets the
saliva,by touching and seeing we can identify the food the quality,quantity,
whether it is suitable for our body or not etc.
We should not eat frequently,
Should not walk while eating,
Should not watch TV when eating.
We should pray before eating,should thank God for getting
the food for our survival.
The quantity should be one third of our stomach volume in
order to have one portion for the food,one portion for the water and one
portion should be left for air.
We should chew the food very well in the mouth till it gets
liquid form and the saliva will be mixed well.
It will enhance the complete
digestion and absorption of the food.
Then we will be enjoy the food ,we should
feel the taste hence we will have the satisfaction too.
When we chew the food and gives enough time in the mouth it
will be better for the proper ‘dhathu parinama’.

Importance of Oil Bath
Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
Today we will brief about the need of oil bath and how it
has to do.
It is a common confusion in most of the population especially among
the youngsters.
In ayurveda text ‘Ashtanga hrudayam’ written by
‘vagbhatacharya’ mention in the chapter ‘Dinacharya’ (Daily routines) the oil
bath (Abhyangam) should be performed daily in the morning.
He explain in
detail; a healthy person should wake up early in the morning and perform the
morning ablution; brushing the teeth,oil application on the head and
body,exercises,bathing etc.
The body oils should prescribe by an Ayurveda physician
after analyzing his Body type,and Symptoms of illnesses,age,Prakruthi etc.
The external oils should be matching with the
medicines he taking internally.
The Prescribed oils mix together and warm,apply all over the
body spread gently with out much pressure,oil should be lukewarm when
applying.
Can add some more quantity if you have some aches and pains or
numbness on any part pf the body.
Gently apply by repeated strokes from top to
bottom in a rhythmic long strokes.
Oil
application in upward direction is contraindicated.
Can be continue for half
an hour to one hour.
The oils will be absorbing through the pores of the
skin,works on the 107 vital points and the channels connecting these points.
It
clears the blockages,promote better circulation,nerve supply,softens the
skin,nourishes each and every tissues of the body,gives flexibility to the
joints and over all rejuvenation of the system.
In ‘ashtanga hrudayam’ tells the benefits of oil application
are as follows;

(vatha dosha),gives better look,nourishing the body,longevity of life,promote sound sleep,softens the skin and firmness of the muscles.
For the better results one has to practice daily. Especially on head, Pinna of
the ear and on the feet.
And also explained where it is contraindicated;
In case of excess phlegm in the body due to the weather
change or due to the illnesses.
Just after the five fold cleansing therapy like vomiting and purging (Vamana and Virechana).
In these conditions oil application

Brief about Yoga - Special Edition
Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
Yoga having two steps. The first stage called “Hatayoga” and
the higher stages known as “Rajayoga”.
The ‘Hatayoga’ very well explained in the text called
‘Hatayoga pradeepika’ written by Swami Swathmarama.
This text narrated in
simple words which can easily grasp to anyone and accepted by all the ancient
sages of India.
The stages of hatayoga like ‘yoga asanas’ and ‘pranayama’
etc. are getting universally accepted by this period.
Yoga explained by Swami Kuvalayananda as follows..
“Yoga has a complete message for the humanity,
It has a message for the human body,
It has a message for the human mind,
It has a message for the human soul".
Yoga is the Science of Man; a philosophy of Life; a code of
Conduct; and an Art of Living.
It represents a total approach to life and the
entire range of its problems,physical,mental,moral,and spiritual.
It is for
this reason that Yoga is capable of bringing about a complete transformation of
man and sublimate him from the animal existence to the sublime heights of
divinity.
May be, some day Yoga would succeed in making the world a better
place to live in where a number of other methods failed. (Justice H.L.Anand)
The text Hatayoga
pradeepika may be written between AD 1350 – 1550.
In ancient India yoga were in practice even decades before.
According to Max Muller,Yoga was practicing in
India about 6000 years ago.
The yoga science first taught to Parvathi Devi by Lord
Paramasiva.
Hatayoga is the way to Raja yoga,says Swami Swatmarama.
The other
ancient practitioners were ‘Matsyendra,Gorakshan etc who all blessed swami
swatmarama to learn this science and wrote ‘hatayogapradeepika’.
The sorrows affecting the humanity is generally due to three
reasons like Physical and Mental; External factors and animals; and the third category spiritual.
For the complete fulfillment of yoga one should practice with
complete dedication and sincerity.
Then only we can attain the benefits of
Yoga.
Hatayogi should not affected by any kind of physical and
mental stress from the surroundings.
The yogi should live in a place where calm and quit,without
any windows,the entry door should be very small,the floor should be pasted with cow dung,the floor should be leveled and equal,should be protected from insects
and reptiles.
And should have a hall and a well near by.
When some one learn yoga,he should know only about yoga he
should don't even think about any other matters.
It is said for the complete involvement in the science and hence achieve the ‘Liberation’.
The Yoga fails when over eating,Hard and stressful work,excess talk,unsafe contacts,wavering mind etc will lead to the failure of
Yoga.
To the achievement of Yoga; one should have
Enthusiasm,Courage,Adventurous,knowledge about the principles and philosophy,complete dedication and should stay away from the contact from the
surroundings.

Benefits of Head oil Application; How and Why?
Hello Readers and my Dear Patients,
Many of my patients were keep on asking this question,how to
apply the oil on head and why?
So here’s brief about itMy highly respectful ‘Guru’ Padmabooshan
Sri.E.T.Narayanan Mooss used to prescribe the head oil application as follows;
Daily in the evening after 5pm,one teaspoon of prescribed
head oil to be poured into an already heated ladle stir well, allow to cool
and to be applied on the middle of the head,wait for half an hour then wiped of
with a dry cloth.
Head bath can be done in the morning twice in week with luke
warm water.
This is the method he usually prescribe,he is suggesting that
after the head oil application the head should not get sweat.
So he advise to
do it in the evening.
Should not take bath but wipe of with dry cloth which
leave a light smear of oil kept over night,it enhances the absorption of the
oil for better results.
But very rarely the patients get inflammation on cheeks when doing like this.
In Such cases he allows the patient to wash the head
daily and when the patient suffering psoriasis patches on the head or sever
dandruff with itching and scaling.
According to the job and other situations many of the
working class patients cant follow this method strictly.
So i suggest my
patients to apply and wash it with luke warm water either in the morning or
evening.
Head should not wash twice daily. Should not take head bath when hot sun .
Patients with Rheumatic conditions
and inflammatory stage inside the body, better to reduce head bath to twice or
thrice in a week.
Especially patients with Spondilitis,sinus
problems,migraine,eye diseases,allergic asthma etc.
In the Ayurveda text ‘Ashtangahrudayam’ says that oil
application should be practiced daily especially on the head region,ears and on
the feet.
Because the 107 vital points originates from the head to the soles ,when
we apply the oil at the origin and at the end part, it reflects on the entire
body
.And the head is considered as the ‘uthmangam’ (important center of nervous
system),the proper functioning of hearing is happening by the activity of wind
element which is seated at the ears and the feet is also the seat of wind
element (vatha sthanam).
The basic property of oils are pacify the wind element
or ‘vatha dosha’.
So in order to protect and maintain the balanced wind element
in the body oil application is very necessary on the Daily basis.
There is range of oils which prescribed by Ayurveda doctors
depending upon the patient’s body type,age,gender,symptoms and illnesses.
Thank you so much for Reading and Sharing my blogs, looking forward for your sincere comments.

A study on Honey and Cinnamon.
Today i just want to release a forwarded message of an unknown author and expressing my sincere gratitude and courtesy for his great work – A study on Honey and Cinnamon.
It is found that a mix of
honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the
countries of the world. Scientists of today also note honey as very effective
medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects .
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the
right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched
by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES: Make a
paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam
and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol and could
potentially save one from heart attack. Also, even if you have already had an
attack studies show you could be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular
use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada,
various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as
one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey
and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis
patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of
honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic
arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen
University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a
mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before
breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated)
practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month,
most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis
now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take
two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of
lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder....who knew?
CHOLESTEROL: Two
tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces
of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of
cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for
arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol-could
be cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey
taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS: Those suffering from
common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon
cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic
cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses, and it's delicious too!
UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken
with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also is said to clear stomach
ulcers from its root.
GAS: According to the
studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when Honey is taken with
cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of
honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body
from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various
vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white
blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral
diseases.
INDIGESTION: Cinnamon
powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten
relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals
INFLUENZA: A scientist in
Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the
influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
LONGEVITY: Tea made with
honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old
age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three
cups of boiling water to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day.
It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and
even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
RASPY OR SORE THROAT: When
throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until
gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.
PIMPLES: Three tablespoons
of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the
pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When
done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS:Applying
honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema,
ringworm and all types of skin Infections.
WEIGHT LOSS:Daily in the
morning one half hour before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night
before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water.
When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person.
Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in
the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
FATIGUE: Recent studies
have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental
to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder
in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research,
says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled
with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease,
when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the
vitality of the body increases within a week.
BAD BREATH: People of South
America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot
water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the
day.
HEARING LOSS: Daily morning
and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing.
Thank you for Reading and sharing.

Ayurveda for the Humanity - Brief Outlook on its Origin.
Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
Today we think a bit about the history of ayurveda,
the
origin and spread of “ayurveda”- the science of life.
‘Ayur’ means Life and
‘veda’ means Science.
Ayurveda- its a 5000 years plus old science.
As old as the
Vedic Period.
Ancient Indian philosophy says that the creator “Brahma” created
the entire universe and all the living beings here in this earth.
They lived
very peacefully amicably and healthy too.
Lately by the course of time, upon their bad
deeds,pollution,bad qualities and actions, the man kind affected many kinds of
ailments.
Then the creator Brahma remembered and recollected from his
mind,passed the science of life to heal the world to the ancient sages of India.
They passed over generation by generation finally through
Lord Indra,Aswins,Athreya then Susrutha and Charaka .
They made their own treatises named “Sushrutha Samhitha” by Susruth acharya and “Charaka Samhitha”
by Charaka Acharya.
Sushrutha samhita more on to the surgical branch
(Shalyathanthra) where as Charaka samhitha explained well about the
Kayachikitsa(general medicine).
Vagbhata Acharya who learned from both of these
texts made his text named Ashtanga
hrudayam.
Which dealt in eight branches.
Vagbata Acharya traveled all over
India to spread this science of life ,finally he reached Kerala,lived here some time and died here.
That may be one of the reason this science is still very sound in Kerala,south
India.
And one more thing,all the herbs explained in the ancient texts are available here in plenty.
Thank you for Reading and Sharing my Blogs.
