  • Medicinal plant cultivation gets a leg up

    The India government has announced a Rs 4,000-crore plan to
    promote herbal cultivation in the country which is expected to resolve the
    acute raw-material shortage faced by the AYUSH sector.

    Under the scheme, announced by Finance Minister Nirmala
    Sitharaman, medicinal plants will be cultivated across the banks of river Ganga
    (nearly 800 hectare). Herbal corridors spanning across 10 lakh hectares will be
    set up in the next two years.

    The plan will be implemented by the National Medicinal Plants
    Board (NMPB), which has already brought 2.25 lakh hectares under medicinal
    plants.

    The project also envisages setting up a network of regional
    mandis (markets) for medicinal plants to help farmers sell their produce and ensure
    availability of quality raw-materials for traditional medicinal systems like
    Ayurveda.

    The scheme is expected to generate income of Rs 5,000 crore
    for farmers.

    The Finance minister also announced a Rs 500-crore project to
    ensure availability of high-quality honey. Under the initiative, the government
    will focus on creating infrastructure for integrated beekeeping centres and
    post-harvest facilities.

    “This will lead to increase in income for two lakh beekeepers
    and ensure quality honey for consumers,” Anurag Thakur, Minister of State for
    Finance, said while referring to renewed interest of researchers on medicinal
    plants in their efforts to find solutions to deal with Covid-19.

    The NMPB has already implemented a national campaign titled
    ’20 Medicinal Plants for 2020’ to augment cultivation of 20 medicinal plants such
    as Ghritkumari, Satawari, Brahmi, Punarnava, Mandookparni, Hutjodi, Lemon
    grass, Gudhal, Adusa/vasa, Mehandi, Lajwanti, Sahjan, Karipatta, Tulsi, Amla,
    Patta Ajwayan, Giloe, Neergundi, Ashwagandha and Adrak    .

  • Ayurveda and Seasonal Diseases

    Ayurveda is increasingly being relied on by individuals and
    governments as a way to boost immunity against diseases, including virus infections.
    The traditional medical system broadly defines illnesses and has specific cure
    to various conditions. According to it, seasonal changes occurring in nature
    act as an immediate cause for the occurrence and manifestation of diseases.

    In this article, Dr Vandana Rani M, Professor and HOD, Dept
    of Swasthavritta, Amrita School of Ayurveda, Amrita Viswavidyapeetham,     gives an
    insight on ‘Ayurveda and Seasonal Diseases’:-


    “As is the Universe, so is the body”

    Human body is an epitome of Universe. Everything that happens
    in the nature is reflected in human body also. While external changes in season
    is experienced by all, it causes changes in our body too.

    Our body is in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Change in
    season imbalances this equilibrium due to change in temperature, humidity,
    speed of wind, pressure etc. If body is unable to adapt itself to the above
    stressors due to changes in specific traits of seasons, it may lead to
    imbalance the life forces called Doshas, which in turn may render the
    body highly susceptible to one or other kinds of disorders.

    Ayurveda recognizes three primary life forces (somatic
    humors) called Vata, Pitta and Kapha in the body; together
    they are called the Tridoshas. The term dosha means that which
    vitiates or spoils. When out of balance, these doshas are causative
    forces behind the disease process. To become healthy, one has to attain the
    dynamic balance of doshas. Digestive capacity or ‘Digestive fire’ as it
    is referred in classical texts is an important factor for attaining this
    homeostasis. Prescribed seasonal regimen as per Ayurveda principles will bring
    homeostasis.

    During early winter, we experience the maximum strength since
    the digestive fire is maximum. Hence alteration of dosha caused during
    this period could be well tolerated. In late winter, though the atmosphere is
    cool, it is very dry. So cough, cold, dryness of skin especially cracks on
    heels, joint pain etc. are widely noticed.

    During spring, kapha gets aggravated when warm weather
    liquefies the accumulating kapha. Digestive fire may be moderate or
    mild. Asthma, cough and a constant phlegm feeling in the throat can be noticed.

    We experience minimum strength and diminished immunity during
    summer. Dehydration causes vata dosha and our body may get stiffened.
    Peculiar properties of summer may cause severe respiratory or air- borne and
    other infections. We become susceptible to calculi in kidney and gall bladder.

     

    During monsoon, since the strength further decreases, vata
    dosha     is aggravated. Digestive fire also gets vitiated. It opens the door
    to diseases brought by bacteria & viruses. The chances of spread of
    water-borne diseases increase due to the pollution of water.

    When autumn comes, pitta gets aggravated and the
    possibility of gall bladder stones, liver disorders, gastric and peptic ulcer
    and GERD increases.

  • ‘Ayurveda, Yoga benefits go beyond Wellness’

  • Add shine to your smiles!

    Most
    grown-ups tend to stand in front of mirrors and, at times, worry over the
    yellowish appearance of their teeth. It may make them feel self-conscious of
    their appearance and hesitant to smile.

    Ayurveda,
    the science of life, has solutions to this and help you get milky white
    teeth, putting the glow on your smiles. While some treatment methods
    give instant relief, others are preventive in nature and should be practiced on
    a daily basis.

    The
    teeth, generally, is light yellow to grayish or bluish white in colour. Since
    enamel is semi-translucent, the colour of dentin and structures underneath
    enamel strongly affects the appearance of a tooth.

    So
    what causes teeth discolouration? While Yellow tooth is not a serious medical
    condition, the same may be caused due to the following reasons:-

    Poor Oral Hygiene — Improper brushing, flossing or rinsing
    your mouth causes accumulation of plaque and tartars, thus making them yellow.

    Getting Old — Thick enamel looks white, but thin enamel
    allows dentin tones to show through, making teeth look yellowish from outside.
    As a person gets old his enamel gets thin making it appear yellow.

    Fluorine content of water — High fluoride levels of water can result in
    yellow blotching of teeth.

    Smoking — Tobacco products likes cigarettes and pipe
    smoke can stain teeth due to accumulation of tannin.

    Dry mouth — Saliva neutralizes acid and washes it away.
    But those who have dry mouth miss out this protective effect. People who
    breathe through their mouth, because of blocked nasal passages or other medical
    causes or even as a habit, have dry mouth. This decreases saliva and hence
    doesn’t neutralise the acidic pH in the mouth completely which puts them at
    risk of developing thin tooth enamel, thus making it look yellowish.

    Constant intake of sour foods and
    drinks —     Sour foods, like sour candies,
    oranges, soda etc, decrease the pH of mouth thereby increasing
    demineralisation. This makes enamel thin and makes teeth appear yellow.

    Medicines — Some antibiotics, anti-histamines, drugs for
    high blood pressure and anti psychotic medications can cause yellow blotching
    of teeth of children younger than 8 years old.

    Diseases — Sometimes even chronic diseases can affect
    enamel and lead to yellow discoloration of teeth. Even chemotherapy or
    radiation therapy may discolour teeth. In these cases, the discoloration is
    more of a brownish colour.

    Hereditary — Yellow teeth can even be as a result of
    inheritance.

    What
    are the Ayurvedic methods to remove yellow colour?

    Brushing your teeth with herbal
    powders (DantaDhavana)

    Ayurveda
    advises to use herbal drugs which are Kashaya(astringent), Katu (pungent) or
    Tikta (bitter) Rasa (taste) in nature. Drugs with these Rasa have the ability
    to scrap plaques (doshas) from the teeth. 
    They are anti-microbial in nature and hence prevent the accumulation of
    bacterial colonies in the teeth. These drugs will even remove the yellowish
    discoloration of teeth and make them appear glistening white. The herbal drugs
    which are specifically used are Arka, Nyagrodha, Arjuna, Khadira & Karanja.

    ARKA
    — The skin on the root helps in removing bacteria and cleans the plaque.

    NYAGRODHA
    — It restores back the colour

    ARJUNA
    — It helps in repair of the damaged tissue.

    KHADIRA
    — This drug is specifically beneficial for teeth (dantya) and anti-microbial
    activities (krimighna)

    Apart
    from these, following drugs are also helpful in whitening the teeth

    GHRIHADHOOMA
    — It is the kitchen soot. It appears in abundance when firewood is burnt in
    kitchen for cooking.

    YAVAKSHARA
    — It is the alkali preparation from yava (barley). This helps in removing the
    plaques from teeth, thereby making it white.

    LOHA
    BHASMA — It is calcined iron which has a scarifying action to remove the
    doshas in teeth.

    TRIKATU
    — Trikatu is the combination of Shunti (Ginger), Pippali (Long Pepper), Kana
    (Black Pepper)

    HONEY
    — It is has a scarifying (vilekhana) action. It is heals the wound (vrana) and
    cleanses it. It has the capacity to enter even into the minute pores in the
    body (sookshma) and helps in clearing the pathways. It helps to maintain the
    colour or complexion (varnyam)

    Ideal
    tooth powder to remove yellow discoloration

    of the powder of the following drugs is an ideal tooth powder to make teeth
    shine white.

    Nasya

    Nasya
    is a very potent mode of treatment for teeth disorders. Nasya with anutaila (an
    ayurvedic pharmaceutical medicine) helps in decreasing the yellow colour of
    teeth. Two drops of anutaila (called as pratimarshanasya) instilled separately
    in both the nostrils helps to gain strength of enamel. Anutaila contains goat
    milk and sesame oil as its bases.

    Eating black sesame seeds

    Eating
    black sesame seeds daily is extremely helpful in preventing yellowish
    discolouration of teeth. Sesame seeds contain calcium, phosphorous, iron and
    vitamin B complex. Sesame provides strength (bala) to all the parts of teeth.
    Chew 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds daily and then drink cool water. This aqueous
    medium helps in easy remineralisation of the enamel and this strengthens, thus
    making it whiter.

     

    What
    are the practices to maintain white teeth?

    AVOID

    Smoking

    Drinking
    cold water

    Caffeine
    containing food stuffs like coffee

    Carbonated
    drinks like soda, fizzes or cokes.

    Over
    eating sour fruits and vegetables

    Use
    of baking soda to clean the teeth.(Baking soda has a corrosive action and it
    may provide a whitening effect temporarily, but its constant usage may decrease
    the strength of enamel, thereby making the teeth more yellow).

    Use
    of Lemon and salt. (This combination is widely practiced to remove the
    yellowish discoloration of teeth. Both these are scarifying agents and remove
    the doshas from teeth. But many have reported of getting sensitive teeth on
    applying it. This is because of the acidic pH of the lemon. Secondly practicing
    this for a long time may fasten the degradation of enamel, thereby making it
    more yellow.)

    PRACTICE

    Finger
    brush your teeth and wash your mouth after having any food substance. This will reduce accumulation of food wastes on teeth surface.

    Avoid
    snacks between meals. This allows your saliva to dilute acids in your
    mouth.

    Drink
    water after eating or drinking any acidic food to prevent tooth erosion.

    Eat an apple a day to keep teeth white.

    Eat
    strawberries as they help in maintaining teeth white.

  • Looking into the Eyes

    The eyes are our
    windows to the world, in the sense they enable us to experience the beauty of
    the nature or see our loved ones or help us navigate safe.

     

    But the beautiful
    and vital organ of the body is easily susceptible to ailments. According to a
    World Health Organisation report, at least 2.2 billion people suffer from
    eye-related ailments, of whom at least one billion have vision impairment that
    could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed.

     

    The disease-causing
    factors are many. It may be due to exposure to computers for long hours or the rising
    air pollution in big cities and towns and the like. Internal factors such as
    stress, strain, improper diet or habits such as smoking too can have adverse
    effect on your sight.

     

    A little bit of
    care can go a long way in helping us maintain good vision. Ayurveda has a set
    of eye-catching curing solutions.

     

    ‘Netrachikitsa’,
    the treatment of eye disorder, forms a part of ‘Salakyatanthra’ which deals
    with etiology, diagnosis and management of diseases affecting parts of body
    above the neck.

     

    In Ayurveda, any
    disease reflects an imbalance in Dosha (humour) of the body. This is true of
    eye diseases too. A physician attempts to bring about a proper balance of Pitta
    Dosha through diet and regimen.

     

    For instance, the
    modern solution for refractive errors is a pair of powerful glasses. Ayurveda
    tries to improve the focussing capacity of eyes from within instead of
    temporary solutions.

     

    Eyes can adjust
    their focal length to view properly. Usually a problem occurs when the natural
    function of eye muscles and retina is affected. With proper medication,
    treatments and eye exercises, the spasm in the eye muscles is removed and they
    are re-energised. The lens gradually regains natural convexity.

     

    The treatment of
    systematic diseases like diabetic retinopathy is another case in point. While
    the allopathic solution is application of laser to the damaged cells, an
    Ayurvedic physician tries to disable the environment conducive for organisms to
    thrive.

     

    Ayurvedic
    treatments like ‘tarpanam’, ‘nasyam’, ‘takradhara’ and ‘netradhara’ re-establish
    retinal nutrition, prevents growth of fragile vessels, reverses metabolic
    changes manifested by diabetes, stops bleeding and the chances of recurrence
    and thus improves quality of vision.

     

    There are surgical
    as well as non-surgical treatment procedures in Ayurveda. Procedures like
    Chedana (excision), bhedana (incision and drainage), lekhana (scrapping),
    Kuttan (pricking), aganikarma and ksherakarma (cauterization). Internal use of
    Ayurvedic herbal preparations and ocular therapies like somsodhana (cleansing
    process), samsamara (curative and palliative treatment) and parivarjana
    (preventive treatment) too are put to use.

     

    What damages eyes
    of a normal person

     

    There are certain
    conditions that upset the Tridoshas, causing eye diseases. These include
    exposure to excessive heat, cold or smoke; observing distant/ minute objects
    for long periods, disturbed and improper sleep, long bouts of weeping, anger,
    sorrow and exertion; trauma and infections.

     

    Similarly reading
    or writing in poor light for long periods can cause refractive error,
    especially near sightedness. Many software professionals have the problem of
    dry eyes. Staring at the screens for hours on will cut down the frequency you
    blink and in-turn affects normal lubrication of the eye. Dry air-conditioned
    interiors can add to your woes.

     

    All foreign objects
    including unhygienic water, sweat and dust are harmful to the eye. Sudden
    changes in temperature, insomnia and habits like sleeping during the day can
    cause dryness and exudation.

     

    A common treatment
    solution to most of the day-to-day ailments is applying ‘anjanam’
    (collirium) once a week which will help in expelling accumulated foreign
    objects in the eye. This should be followed by ‘naavanam’ (nasal drops),
    gandoosham (gargling medicated decoctions or oil in the mouth), dhoomapaanam
    (inhaling medicated smoke) and thaamboolacharvanam (betal chewing).

     

    Do’s and Don’ts

     

    -A diet high in
    liquids and/or taking excessive intake of milk, tea or coffee at night. This
    can cause abnormal pressure in the eyeball.

     

    -The habit of
    withholding natural urge to defecate or urinate can lead to Vata dosha, related
    to refractive errors.

     

    -Extreme emotions
    and tension can affect functioning of optic nerves, veins, arteries and
    lacrimal glands, leading to cataract and refractive errors.

     

    -Excessive use of
    alcohol can affect blood circulation in the eye.

     

    -Eating too much of
    sweet food can cause diabetic retinopathy.

     

    Preventive measures

     

    According to
    Ayurveda, the best method of treatment is to avoid causative factors. A few
    preventive measures are enlisted below:-

     

     

    — Wash your eyes
    with ‘thriphala kwatham’ (decoction of thriphala powder, made of Amalaki (emblica
    officinalis), Bibhitaki (terminalia bellirica) and Hariyali (terminalia
    chebula). To make this, add one teaspoon of thriphala powder to a glass of
    clean water, keep it overnight, strain it in the morning and wash your eyes
    with it.

     

    — In case of dryness,
    wash your eyes by using water boiled with fennel seeds. ( boil one cup of water
    with about half teaspoon of fennel seeds).

     

    — Washing the eyes
    with a concoction prepared with coriander or applying a paste of babool leaves
    over the eyes before going to sleep will help in reducing conjunctivitis.

     

    — Applying oil on
    the sole (Padabhyongam) can do wonders by inducing good sleep and strengthening
    the eyes.

     

    — Regular
    application of medicated oil on the head before bath improves eyesight.

     

    — Keeping a slice
    of cucumber or potato over the eye for a few minutes can reduce tiredness.

     

    — Taking in ghee
    can improve vision in children.

     

    — Professionals
    spending long hours before computer should exercise eyes at frequent intervals.
    This can be done by blinking several times, closing your eyes and rolling
    eyeballs clockwise and anticlockwise. They can also splash water on their face
    during breaks besides a few minutes of walk. Setting up antiglare screen on
    monitors too will go a long way in protecting the eyes.

  • 32nd International Conference on “Ayurveda: Autoimmune & Metabolic Disorders”

    Autoimmune diseases are some of the leading causes of death among young and middle-aged women in the United States of America. Over 50 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disorders and the NIH spends more than 590 million dollars each year on autoimmune disorders alone.

    An Ayurvedic analysis of autoimmune and metabolic disorders reveals compromised tissue metabolism.  Doshas in their imbalanced states disturb the digestive fire, leading to tissue metabolism turbulence, and subsequently, to various types of autoimmune disorders.  Ayurveda observes disease manifestation differently from person to person.  When Prana (vital life force), Tejas (vital energy), and Ojas (vital immunity) are disturbed, this leads to autoimmune and metabolic imbalances.  Ayurveda adopts various methods of healing the body, mind and spirit through natural herbal supplements, dietary guidelines, lifestyle management, yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation, natural physiological detoxification and purification (panchakarma), and rejuvenation (Rasayana) therapies.

    Considering the above facts the 32nd International Conference on “Ayurveda: Autoimmune & Metabolic Disorders” will take place from September 6 to 8; 2019 at the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Pennysylvania.

    The event will have 25 featured speakers talking on different aspects of Ayurveda. Some of the topics that the speakers will deal with include:- Spirituality in healing, Diet and food in metabolic disorders, Maintain weight through Ayurveda and many more.

    The conference is open to all integrative healthcare professionals, yoga teachers, massage therapists, ayurvedic practitioners, vaidyas and general public and patients who are curious to know more about the autoimmune and metabolic disorders.

    The event will be organized by Global Ayurveda Conferences, USA and hosted by the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America.
