AYURVED Fights---- Swine Flu

Most scaring health problem these days is Swine Flu, not only in India
But Worldwide.

Tulsi (ocimum sanctum) also known as VISHNUPRIYA
Black Pepper (piper nigrum)
Giloy (tinospora cordifolia-Tinospora Gulancha)

Are the three Ingredients of this Effort for Raising Body Immunity and making it strong enough to fight the Virus affecting the body.
Guduchi(Tinospora cordifolia) -ACTIVATE and ENHANCES W.B.C. activity(the defence force of body)-- making body resistant against Infections.
It acts as a Immunomodulator.
Take 5 leaves of Tulsi and 5 pieces of black pepper and boil these with
about 7-8 inches of a branch (shaft) of Giloy plant after crushing it,(giloy powder is freely available in Ayurvedic Medical Store as sat -giloy or Amrita Satva)added with a cup of water ,
cooled naturally, before drinking it twice daily.
In my Clinical Practice it has proved to be a perfect immunity booster-Platlet count Enhancer- home remedy

Your Food is MEDICINE

2009-02-09T22:49:00.002+05:30

Ayurveda's basic thought is to protect the health of a person,which is like "prevention is better than cure" in western style.
If we keep our food habits under check and food timings correct than several diseases
will always be away from us.
In coming days i shall be elaborating on the subject, so that any of us, who has not given this a thought yet, is alerted and reconsider's his habits for a possible change.
Many tribal cultures who follow their food traditions,just do not require any medications.

आहार ही औषधि

2009-02-09T18:06:00.003+05:30

आयुर्वेद सदा से 'स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं " का सिद्धांत मानता है ,इस कारण 'भोजन" में हर समय
'पथ्य' और अपथ्य का विचार कर लेना उत्तम होता है।
रोग की उत्पत्ति, "असमय -अपथ्य" भोजन से,सर्वाधिक होती है.
