AYURVEDA yb

This is in continuation of my post No. 1065 at my blog problemsoftelugus.blogspot.com. Link for those who are interested to study it: Click here if you wish to go to 1065 at problemsoftelugu.blogspot.com. That post, dealt with extensively and intensively with different types of curds, and their beneficial/detrimental effects on human bodies (Indian bodies which are heated by 45 degrees summer heat and cooled by drenching monsoons?), according to the Ancient Indian Traditional Medical Treatise Sarangadhara samhita. Curd (yogurt) is a dairy food. It is obtained and consumed in Indian homes on daily basis, by fermenting milk for about 12 hours, by adding a little of previous day's curd, to milk at room temperature. Going back to mythology, I am unable to trace anything about consumption of curd in Valmiki Ramayana, by Ramayana characters or its citizens or the Citizens of Kishkindha or Lanka. There are some references to liquor, meat, wine made from honey etc. My readers who...

Dear friend: Pl. refer to your comment, reading as under, at my Ayurveda blog:-- sir, plz mail your address,date and time of the fish treatment of asthma. My reply:- You seem to have misunderstood what I have written at my Ayurveda Blog. నేను నా ఆయుర్వేద బ్లాగ్ లో వ్రాసిన దానిని మీరు సరిగా అర్ధం చేసుకున్నట్లు కనిపించటం లేదు. నేను మందు కూరిన చేపలను మింగించటం ద్వారా ఆస్తమాను తగ్గించటం అనే సిధ్ధాంతాన్ని నమ్మటం లేదు. కారణాలు. చేప ద్వారా మందును మింగటం వల్ల కలిగే అదనపు ప్రయోజనం ఏమీ లేదు. నేను లేవనెత్తిన ముఖ్యప్రశ్నను మీరు పట్టించుకున్నట్లు లేదు. బత్తిని బ్రదర్స్ పంచి పెట్తున్న మందులో పాదరసం, గంధకం వంటి అపాయకరమైన పదార్ధాలు కలిశాయా లేదా అనేది వారు స్పష్టంగా చెప్పాలి. పూర్తి మూలికలతో కూడిన అంటే సంపూర్ణ వృక్షాయుర్వేద (అంటే హెర్బల్) చికిత్సను మీరు నిజాయితీ గల బి.ఎ.ఎమ్.ఏస్. అర్హత గల (లేక తత్సమాన ప్రభుత్వ ధృవీకృత అర్హత గల) వైద్యుని వద్ద పొందటం మేలు. మూలికలు చెట్లనుండి వచ్చే ఆకులు, పూలు, కాయలు, కాండం, వేళ్ళు వంటి పదార్ధాలు. కనుక, చాల కొద్ది మూలికలు మాత్రమే ప్రమాదకరమైనవి (జీడి గింజ...

This post was originally made by me at my blog gandhijiyb.blogspot.com . It seems equally relevant here, as well. Hence I am re-posting here. Gandhiji wrote to an Ayurvedic physician, Vallabhram Vaidya, on 28th June 1942. From the context of the letter, we get an impression that the doctor was seeking Gandhiji's help for getting Government's monetary support to promote AyurvEda. Source of the letter: Vol. 83 of Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi: BHAI VALLABHRAM, I have already told you that Ayurveda cannot be saved either by money or by State help. Would the State be able to revive Ayurveda even if it gave thousands of rupees every month to the purveyers of indigenous tonics? Hundreds of people have laid down their lives to spread allopathy. Allopathy by itself is not expensive but the doctors and the chemists have made it so. You have not seen their books giving the formula and cost of each important medicine. The cost price of Bayer’s Sarsaparilla is one and a half pice b...

ybrems This post, I have made, originally at my blog on Gandhiji. It seems more relevant to AyurvEda. Hence, I am re-posting it here. Gandhiji wrote to his son dEvadas Gandhi, on Jan. 1, 1945. Source: Vol.85 of Collected Works of MahatmA Gandhi. CHI. DEVDAS, Having written my first letter to Rajaji I now write this to you. Do not at all worry on my account. I am paying for my sins. I had too much of Ayurveda and I suffered. And now I am slowly throwing off the poison. I have therefore grown very weak but I am watching the developments. Hook-worm and amoeba, my old enemies, won’t leave me. All this is but flushing out the poison that I had taken. I do not know what other suffering is in store for me. I shall go on doing as God dictates. You should not worry. Ramdas[1] has come. And now Nimu[2] too. ybrems 1. Gandhiji and Swami Vivekananda has one thing in common. 'I am paying for my sins." Vivekananda called this "my karma". 2. Gandhiji: "I shall go on doing ...

Question: There are many websites which recommend and sell 'mahArAJA GUGGUL' for cholesterol related problems and for reducing body fat. is it safe to use mahArAja guggul or yOgarAja guggul? Answer: My personal belief: Both the preparations contain mercury and sulphur. Some preparations claim that they contain gold also. All the three can generate side effects and auto immunity reactions. Guggulu as a pure plant extract may not be risky to try. But excess of guggulu can also have side effects. Simple logic: 1. Anything which can exert some influence on our body's processes can NEVER HAVE ONLY ONLY beneficial effects. Excess use is bound to have deleterious effects. The only question that then arises is whether beneficial effects are more or deleterious effects are more. 2. Moderation is the key. We have to avoid prolonged use. 3. Lowering cholesterol or body fat should not become an obsession by itself. Moderate physical la...

A Baba who has been making millions by selling Ayurvedic medicines manufactured by his Pharmaceutical Trusts has started cudgelling the Government with threats of fasts unto death, ended up in the Intensive Care Unit of a modern Hospital. Not that Government of India is not corrupt. Not that nobody should take up campaigns against corruption. What can irk thoughtful citizens is the fast-makers becoming enforcers of their sword-law. The whims and fancies of the fast-makers cannot replace the whims and fancies of the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians. The question which the Baba has a duty to explain satisfactorily by placing a reply on their websites is : How fast they could build their empires? How the donors went on showering millions of dollars and Euros on their Trusts? Even if we assume that there were no frauds, there is always place for misrepresentations. How a misrepresentation is different from a fraud ? Ans: In case of fraud: the person provides false information knowi...
