| Ayurveda Overview |
|
yurveda finds its origin in one of the four Vedas, the Atharvaveda. Lord Brahma was the original propounder of Ayurveda, who passed it on to Daksh Prajapati, who gave it to Ashwini Kumars, the physicians of devas, and they gave it to Indra. Ayurveda was given to mankind at the time of Satyug (Age or Era of Truth), when the diseases though existed had not yet manifested in the physical world. The level of existence was so pure and selfless that diseases were unable to manifest then. The Rishis of Satyug realised that in the times to come, the thoughts of people are going to be highly polluted and that diseases will find the required environment to manifest. It is then that the need of Ayurveda would arise, so Rishi Bharadwaj went up to Lord Indra and asked for this divine science. Ayurveda disregards any such thing as disease or healing, as the purpose of Ayurveda is not healing, it is to achieve a state of balance and maintain it. It eliminates the root cause of imbalance and brings the body into a state of balance. When the imbalance is removed, the disease is automatically cured and the body radiates with glow and strength. In this series of articles we will talk about rejuvenating tonics for various systems of the body like the nervous, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, circulatory etc, which work in tandem to keep the body functioning in a state of balance.
Caution: The effects of these preparations are not immediate and take about 2-6 months to bring the desired results. It is advisable to always get your constitutional analysis done before consuming any ayurvedic preparations, as ayurvedic preparations are highly individualistic. Warning: Be aware of ayurvedic practitioners who sell their medicines without any verification of the authentication of the ingredients. Recommendation: Visit Dhyan Foundation and/ or Arya Kottakkal Vaidyashala as the authenticity of the ingredients is verified here. Blog at: Ayurveda@Dhyan Foundation |
Before we start with any rejuvenating therapies it's important to remove toxins from the system so that the absorption of nutrients becomes easy and effective.Triphala is an excellent expeller of waste. Take equal quantities of Amla, Harar and Bahera, without seeds, and grind them to a fine powder. Take half teaspoon every night with warm water for a month only, as excessive use of triphala leads to addiction and then the body becomes dependent or addictive. As harar is one of the most potent of herbs and its effect is very strong on the body, it's not suitable for people who are into fasting, are emaciated, who suffer from dryness, pregnant ladies and people who suffer from aggravated pitta. It’s beneficial if administered separately also for various digestive, respiratory and oral imbalances. If it is chewed properly it kindles the digestive fire and is effective in indigestion. One small fruit, seed removed chewed after meals, especially with molasses is an effective remedy for indigestion and flatulence. It's important to include cow's ghee in one's diet when one is administering a preparation which contains harar as it is dry in nature. When chewed orally, it's beneficial for teeth and gums and also for mouth ulcers.
