DETOX & REFULED YOUR BODY WITH MORE OJAS AND GET RID OF BUILT UP TOXINS (AMA).

 OJAS : ESSENTIAL FOR LASTING HELTH

Ojas is a concept in Ayurveda that refers to the purest essence of each of the tissues of the body.

Ojas Is Your Saving Account : Fueled Your Body With Ojas : Later On Your Ojas Refuled Your Energy Back When You Needed Most

Think about all the daily activities you do in your life – basic ones like eating, sleeping, breathing, work and play. Where does the energy for these activities come from? How do we fuel our day to day lives?

Your body can be fueled in one of two ways:

– By your daily diet and lifestyle practices

– By your ojas

Think if ojas as a sort of savings account that we have built up. When times are tough and if you’re sick or stressed or tired – you can dip into your ojas for the energy you need. Doing this once in a while is okay, after all, that’s what the savings account is there for. But when you live a depleting lifestyle, serving only your sensory pleasures, you wind up dipping into your ojas not as a rainy day fund, but as a necessity. It gets depleted quickly. Without proper levels of ojas, you cannot contain the prana and tejas within us. When those run rampant, they cause us to have high levels of energy, crashes of exhaustion, and make us more prone to disease in body and mind. I’ll say it again – you protect your ojas and your ojas will protect you!

Ojas are like muscles – they are not going to build themselves! In the physical body we primarily build ojas through diet, oils, and exercise. In the subtle body, where our thoughts and emotions rule, we build ojas through our thoughts, rest, and pranayama (breathing practices). In the same way air flows through tubes in our body, prana flows through nadis. Doing pranayama helps to strengthen the walls of the nadis, which are made of ojas. Just like working out any muscle! But we must be careful not to overdo it, as with any practice.

Think of ojas as a sort of savings account that we have built up. When times are tough – you’re sick or stressed or tired – you can dip into your ojas for the energy you need. Doing this once in a while is okay, after all, that’s what the savings account is there for. But when we live a depleting lifestyle, serving only our sensory pleasures, we wind up dipping into our ojas not as a rainy day fund, but as a necessity. It gets depleted quickly. Without proper levels of ojas, we cannot contain the prana and tejas within us. When those run rampant, they cause us to have high levels of energy, crashes of exhaustion, and make us more prone to disease in body and mind. I’ll say it again – you protect your ojas and your ojas will protect you!

We can always make choices that drive us out of balance. This is especially true for lifestyle. Our ojas won’t really help us when it comes to our mental and emotional choices. However, our ojas can be dipped into when we make poor dietary choices.

Let explain you in easy way to understood:

A person who eats nothing but fast food will have high ama and low ojas. Then that person decides one day to eat a healthy meal. The body will be so starved for nutrition that they cannot possibly make ojas out of it. Those nutrients need to go towards repairing the damage and ridding the toxicity from the system. It won’t be enough either. Remember, it can take up to 35 days for the body to completely process the food we eat into the tissues of our body. Low quality diet such as this will produce low quality tissues. It’s going to take time to make better tissues, and a steady healthy diet.

On the other side:

If you eat healthy pretty much every day, every meal. Your body doesn’t have many toxins to get rid of, and therefore can store this high quality tissue building material for later. You have high ojas. One day, you are out with friends and decide that you are going to cheat a little, and have some pizza or Fst food. Your body has so many reserves to dip into that this one slip up is merely a blip in the radar.

Avoid Eating Junk Foods Which Depletes Your Ojas:

If amas are the toxins of the body, ojas can be thought of as almost the inverse. Ojas are the reserves of energy in your body, and connected with strength of the immune system. As a general rule, we want to avoid putting things into the body that produce toxins (such as junky foods in our diet) and consume that which will first pacify the imbalances we have, and ultimately will produce more ojas. A person who eats nothing but fast food will have high ama and low ojas.....So more ojas = healthy

Whatever doshas are out of balance in our body will determine what kinds of foods you need to eat. However, as a good rule of thumb, it is Kapha foods (heavy, moist, dense, along with nutritious), that will produce ojas. Our body will have a hard time producing high quality or quantity of tissues out of crackers or soda (Vata foods) or greasy and fried foods (pitta). It needs the qualities of Kapha to do it. But don’t be saddened if you think Vata and Pitta get no love! They just govern different functions. Without Pitta, we would not have metabolism, and without Vata, we wouldn’t have circulation. We are all three doshas, each and every one of us.

Healing Ayurveda in COVID 19 Pandemic Times.

 It has been so great to share Ayurveda with all of you, specially during this time, where sudden change and adjusting to a new way of living (and being) can throw us off balance. Let’s discover the ways this ancient wisdom can guide us back to our natural state of equilibrium.

The corona virus has turned the world upside down, impacting all of us. Are there measures you can use from Ayurveda that positively strengthen yourself and your community? In the face of COVID-19 Ayurveda responses weigh in on the side of health.

Ayurveda and it's strengths are in the creation of vital health, the prevention of disease, the ability to tailor methods to suit individual circumstances, and its improvement of chronic conditions. I am practicing Ayurveda since 34 years.

Following are the elements that also help us maintain a strong immune system with Ayurveda in COVID 19 pandemic times. This immune strength serves both ourselves and others.

With Ayurveda we assess three doshas, our unique combination of biological energies inside, and then work with opposites to bring them back into balance on an individual level. At the same time we work together as best we can to resolve challenges. We practically focus to prevent the spread of the virus while strengthening immunity at the community as well as individual levels.

Current COVID 19 pandemic has to deal with the Vata Dosha. Vata is light, cool, dry, flexible, curious – and panicky when out of balance. If you’re finding yourself working with fear or worry, from an Ayurvedic perspective it’s Vata you have to calm. Creating conditions of safety, security, and warmth as much as you can, help settle Vata. Over stimulation aggravates Vata. You easily might need more time in nature and less on the Web. Ayurveda in COVID 19 world conditions is about wisdom.

Vata try to interacts with our vital immunity, which is known as ojas in Ayurveda. Ojas is more than physical immunity. It is that deep core sense of unflappability that is not easily swayed by upsets, changes, what have you. As Vata increases, ojas shrinks. The more anxious we become, our defenses – physical, emotional, mental, social – go down. Nurturing ojas also helps bring Vata back into balance. A hot cup of soothing almond milk is win-win. It builds ojas and calms Vata. A good night’s sleep is the same. Energetically, Vatas faithfully follow the qualities of its element Space and Air. As space expands air flows slower, as space constricts, air flows faster. This is key to remedy the Vata dosha tendencies as we can be excessively prone to churning thoughts, variable digestion, constipation and heightened circulation.....If you don’t know your body type, schedule your consultation....9773170560/9825463394

Avoid Eating Junk Foods Which Depletes Your Ojas:

If amas are the toxins of the body, ojas can be thought of as almost the inverse. Ojas are the reserves of energy in your body, and connected with strength of the immune system. As a general rule, we want to avoid putting things into the body that produce toxins (such as junky foods in our diet) and consume that which will first pacify the imbalances we have, and ultimately will produce more ojas. A person who eats nothing but fast food will have high ama and low ojas.....So more ojas = healthy

Stress Management.

Reduce and manage stress.Immune function and breathing are closely linked to stress. Focusing on stress reduction techniques are always beneficial...book our SHIRODHARA treatment for stress management.

SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR IMMUNITY

Sleep has a major impact on ojas and immunity. We all need a good amount of exercise to be able to get a decent night’s sleep. Trading in a half hour or more in front of the computer, smart phone, or TV in exchange for a vigorous walk in nature can make a difference in how deeply you sleep. Try this for a full week if you can. Ensure adequate sleep. When you have symptoms of a cold or flu it is common to require more sleep. When you sleep, your body produces essential immuno-proteins called cytokines, which act as infection-fighting antibodies necessary to keep the body healthy. Get plenty of rest. 7- 9 hours, friends. Sleep is medicine.

AYURVEDIC DIET

Proper nutrition lays out the foundation for healthy bodily functions and strong immunity. Vital energy and immunity are in the Ayurveda tradition related to the sanskrit word “ojas” which indicates “essence” or what Ayurveda likes to call “the juiciness and sweetness of life”. We can receive nourishment from rest and rejuvenating (rasayana), whole foods, nature, wholesome practices or sadhanas - meditation, yoga, movement, mindful eating, breath-work, reflection...., and the list goes on, maybe now it’s a good time to hit pause, and ask: what does nourishment mean to you? and how do you nourish your being?

Each of us has all three of the three biological energies or doshas within us, Vata, Pitta, Kapha. Vata is cold and dry, Pitta’s hot and oily, Kapha is cold and damp. Ayurveda balances with opposites. Yet how can any diet work well with all these different qualities? By being tasty yet prudent. Ayurvedic cooking relies on generous amounts of veggies, fruits, grains, legumes, with a well-chosen blend of spices and modest amounts of nuts, seeds, and dairy . Very spicy, rich or deep-fried foods are minimized when balancing all three doshas and building immunity.

Establish a pranayama or breath-work practice:

As an Ayurvedic/Yoga practitioner, I know the power of breath. Breath is nourishment available to the mind and body at any time. Take a moment to tune into your breath. Place a hand over your heart and allow the slow, calming rhythm of your inhale and exhale to bring you into loving presence. Make sure you add this resource to your mindfulness practice and keep breathing!

If you’re feeling angry or stuck in the midst of this pandemic, your Pitta (anger) or Kapha (stuck quality) may need some re-balancing. Two common healers for both Pitta and Kapha are movement and bitter taste. Fresh air is also cool and light this time of year, perfect for Pitta and Kapha, as is a cooling mist. Another kind of calming influence is pranayama. One very simple pranayama is just breathing out a longer exhale than our inhale. It enhances our relaxation responses.

Excellent nutrition is a big step toward having excellent immunity. In COVID-19 Ayurveda nutrition works to prevent, minimize, and heal infection. In COVID-19 Ayurveda nutrition may mean something different for you than it has before. How can nourishment be a support for healing both for yourself? Call for consultation..9773170560/9825463394

In Ayurveda, healthy nourishing foods and fluids are key to building ojas, our vital protective immunity. Ojas includes both physical immunity yet also mental and emotional resilience. When our ojas is strong, we are better able to maintain courage and calm in the face of difficult conditions.

I have emphasized that correcting and preventing nutritional deficiencies is essential to improve our overall immune status and protect ourselves well. Emotional and mental support are part of nourishment.

To support optimal health with fresh air, nature, healthy food, enjoyable movement, and a clear mind & heart, that also help us maintain a strong immune system with Ayurveda in COVID 19 pandemic times.

Antioxidant-rich foods provide general immune support. The anti-oxidant nutrients include vitamin A and beta carotene, vitamin C, selenium, and zinc. Golden vegetables and fruits that you enjoy, like carrots, beets and apricots are great sources of mucus-membrane supportive beta-carotenes. Dark leafy greens are excellent as well. The macro-mineral magnesium, when deficient, causes us to feel tired yet wired. Nuts, seeds, seaweeds, and dark leafy greens are all friendly sources. A magnesium supplement before bedtime is a method employed by many to enhance sleep.

Sunflower seeds, brown rice, spinach, mushrooms, and eggs are other tasty sources of selenium.

Omega 3 fatty acids is a wise one as well, both for moistening inner organs and calming the inflammation that is part of the coronavirus illness. In COVID-19 recovery Ayurveda uses moist Omega 3 fatty acids would counter the dryness and inflammation, as a lubricating anti-inflammatory substance. Omega-3 rich foods nourish both mood and immunity. They create a healthy foundation for ojas, our vital immunity.

From the perspective of COVID-19 recovery Ayurveda, one needs to support not only the respiratory system, yet also the digestive system, nerves, and the heart and circulation (Rasa and Rakta dhatus in Ayurvedic terms).

Steady self-care is a way to root and ground in our health. Ayurveda has countless methods for self-care, no way we’re going to do all of them! Some top ones I think of as COVID-19 Ayurveda responses include: gargle first thing in the morning with turmeric-salt water (1/2 teaspoon of each in a half cup warm to hot water). This is antibiotic and a great way to hold off a potential sore throat. Other favorite self care methods I’d recommend: oil pulling, as well as abhyanga, oil body treatment as I would target the neck, upper shoulders, spine and lower back areas, to enhance immunity and support healthy calm.

Lymphatic Care With Abhyanga: Remember the practice of abhyanga which I talked about in past status? Abhyanga is a great tool that focuses on stimulating the lymph and circulation, and in doing so, we move the waters of the body, nurturing each cell and internal organ. This practice, besides being very therapeutic and blissful, keeps the bodily tissues (dhatus), the place in the body that stores ojas, healthy.

Insomnia and diabetes, two conditions that put one more at risk for tougher response to the coronavirus.

To support mild manifestations of COVID-19 recovery Ayurveda would of necessity counter tissue inflammation. There are a variety of ways to do this, including Omega 3s and anti-oxidant nutrients. Another excellent natural response is the Ayurvedic herbs and medicines. It effectively counters a variety of types of tissue inflammation, works best in acute or chronic conditions of disease, rather than as a preventive.

Oxygen nourishes every cell. In COVID-19 recovery Ayurveda works with the breath. Gentle pranayama is essential here, nothing harsh or fast. While Kapalabhati, Breath of Fire, is excellent if you’re well and want to increase digestive fire and efficiency, it is not recommended during acute coronavirus infection. It can feel too dry in this situation. Instead, gentle alternate nostril breath can be tried, inhaling as deeply and slowly as is comfortable for the affected person.

Disconnect to Reconnect: This point emphasizes the idea of resting and rejuvenating, which in Ayurveda is known as “rasayana”, on a daily basis. Spend time away from the screen and the doing mode we constantly find ourselves engaging with, and give yourself permission to have a breather....a moment to recharge. To optimize healthy organ responses, unplug periodically from the Internet, both with your smart phone and also computer. Now this could be a particularly great time to come back into Ayurveda healing balance. Unplug overnight or try a weekly “fast” of a day without internet to reduce exposure, experiment with an hour off, say when you’re in nature. Fresh air is win-win. Steadily give yourself longer periods with more fresh air and less radiation. Right now more than ever we’re in our heads a lot and things feel overwhelming. Watch out for behaviors that you tend to over indulge on whether it’s alcohol, food, social media, video games whatever it may be - just know your triggers and be careful. Choose activities that are mindful and that you can be fully present for.

Ayurveda aims to align practitioners with nature and with its cycles and rhythms.The reason for that is because this ancient wisdom observes that natural elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth) are also present in the human body, giving physical and mental qualities. Each person has their own combination of these elements, which makes up their constitution or dosha. If we take into consideration that nature changes season to season and that within the human body, elements of nature manifest, then we too change, and for that particular reason what we eat and do shifts from season to season. Right now, we’re in a time of transition, and according to Ayurveda, this is the perfect time to prepare the body for what’s to come and for what we intend to grow and harvest later on (within the inner garden).

Keep a strong agni or metabolic fire: another important one, agni is also known as the seat of action, it lives in the solar plexus, and for it to perform assimilation and absorption of the food we eat and lived experiences we gotta keep its flame enkindled. When agni is low, energy level drops, affecting our ability to take action and handle stress; when agni is balanced it allows us to move forward with clarity of mind, courage, excitement, and good health. Mindful eating, solar plexus asanas and movement in general, as well as spicing up our foods with ginger, long pepper, cinnamon can help strengthen agni.

Stay well hydrated: the human body comprises up to 60% of water. We need this vital liquid for our bodily systems to run steadily, for our immunity to be strong, and to flush toxins out of the body. Hydration tip: add 2Tbsp of our Ayurvedic herbs/seeds to your water and drink throughout the day. They help absorb water into cells and support the growth of the flora in the gut, where our immune system lives.

Try our Daily Ayurvedic Routine/Rituals,Ayurvedic principles/Yogic teachings for healthy lifestyle which contributes to decreased susceptibility. Each day is an opportunity to recommit to your routine. Each moment of the day you can start over. You can choose to start fresh. At the end of the day take a moment to reflect on your day and come back to your gratitude practice and reflect once again on what you are grateful for.

ESSENTIAL RASA TEA FOR THESE TIMES

In Ayurveda, we build the rasa/plasma steadily, to nourish all the other tissues of the body. This classic tea is excellent for preventing dehydration and supporting recovery. We generally add on this tea at the time of consultation of COVID 19

Mahagunas - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas - An Ayurvedic Perspective.

 They are our hidden resource and treasure, as well as challenge.

Everything in prakruti (nature) is constituted of each of these categories. The gunas and prakruti are dependent on each other and thus, one cannot exist without the presence of all other components. The combination of these three gunas is thought to make up the characteristics of all beings. They make up prakruti similar to the way the three primary colors are able to make up the colors of the entire spectrum.

The Gods who symbolize these gunas are Vishnu the sustaining force, Brahma the creative force, and Shiva, the destroyer.

Vishnu presides over the Sattva Guna, Brahma presides over the Rajo Guna and Shiva lords over the Tamo Guna.

Sattva is pure intelligence with no polarity, it is symbolized by the color white - literally means “true essence.” It represents qualities like strength of character, wisdom, and brilliance. When we want to be healed on every level of our being, the desire is realized through sattvic awareness. Sattva activities allow the mind to be still and move towards a state of balance or equilibrium. If we bring forward more sattvic qualities of mind, we’re more likely to respond with love, compassion, wisdom, open curiousity.

Rajas is for fiery transmutation, passion, and attachment, for this it is considered Red. If you are in a rajasic state of mind, you could be fiery and passionate, get infuriated over injustice, speak out loudly for your truth.

Tamas for darkness, rest, sleep, inertia and ignorance (literally being in the dark, not knowing) is the color, Black.

The three Gunas are ever in dynamic interaction with each other, one gaining dominance and then receding, collapsing into each other, always maintaining the overall balance.

Tamas - The Serenity. It signifies Illusion, ignorance, mental dullness, laziness, greed, confusion, attachment, and heaviness.

Rajas - Courage. It signifies desire, fear, depression, and anxiety, selfish, excited, workaholic, ambitious, chaos, restlessness and angry.

Sattva - Wisdom. It signifies happiness, wisdom, spiritually connected, compassionate, lightness in body & mind, self-control, concentrated, gratitude and selflessness.

Most importantly, these Gunas effect our mental health and our outward personalities.

Sattva is perfection, Rajas is angry, hateful at times, but passionate, searching, and selfish, and Tamas is something to avoid at all costs because of it's darkness, ignorance, destruction, chaos and the horrific aspects.

Tamas does have a very important function in bringing us serenity which transmuted into the yogic consciousness it is essential at balancing the firey eruptions of things hidden in Tarpaka kapha (unconscious/subconscious mind). For those who are suffering with Trauma of any category, it can give them the endurance, we need to see life through all its ups and downs. Rajas, is not only passion, rage, and mania. Rajas gives us the momentum to change, to break free from oppression both self-imposed and external. It gives us a taste for adventure and the strength to love and protect the people we care about. Sattva then retains its ‘jewel’ like status in that it embodies the wisdom to harmonize the other two gunas.

If we observe the Universe carefully we will see the gunas in action all around us, the creation, sustaining, and the dissolution of all things living and nonliving, relationships, dreams, activities, everything rises, plays its life out and then dissolves.

Based on the Samkhya philosophy, the gunas arose as the unmanifest turned to the manifest, and consciousness split into two, ego and intellect of all conscious beings.

Sattva and Rajas guna created the sensory and motor organs called the Indriyas of the living beings.

Vata and Mahagunas

Sattvic Vata – inspired, enthusiastic, healer.

Rajasic Vata – fearful, anxious, worrisome, over-reactive, ungrounded

Tamasic Vata – paranoid, pyschosis, addictions, self-harms

Pitta and Mahagunas

Sattvic Pitta – clear perception, spiritual teacher

Rajasic Pitta – judgmental, critical, intense, envious, willful, aggressive

Tamasic Pitta – violent, hateful, vindictive, extremist views

Kapha and Magagunas

Sattvic Kapha – unconditionally loves, nurturing, compassionate

Rajasic Kapha – overly attached, desirous, controlling, stubborn, overly emotional

Tamasic Kapha – melancholic, apathetic, dull, severely under-reactive, lethargic

Trigunas combines in different composition to develop the 5 elements of the body, which known as Pancha Mahabhutas. Rajas and Tamas gunas which further split into Air, Space, Fire, Earth, and Water, the Pancha Mahabhutas, the five great elements. These five elements have evolved in man to form the different body organs and organ systems, out of which the five sense organs - ears, skin, eyes, tongue, nose - form the senses through which man perceives the external world in five different ways.

The Mahabhutas, came together to create the three biological forces called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. They are called the Tridoshas, the basis for all disease to take root wherever they are out of balance in the Universe, whether in a human body or in a plant or an object.

When a person’s Vata, Pitta and Kapha energies reach the highest expressions of Prana vital force, Tejas, luminous cellular metabolism, and Ojas, optimal immunity and strength. Such a person’s health is not just a blessing to themselves but a benefit to all he/she comes in contact with.

When studying the gunas of the mind, Acharya Sushruta, one of the great teachers of Ayurveda attributes a predominance of :

* Space mahabhuta with Sattva

* Air with Rajas

* Fire with Sattva–Rajas

* Water with Sattva–Tamas

* Earth with Tamas.

Both Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas, classical texts of Ayurveda from 200 BC and 1000 BC, have a description of seven types of Sattva, six types of Rajas, and three types of Tamas qualities of the psyche, totaling sixteen types of personalities under which all people can be grouped. This is the basis of Ayurveda psychology.

Besides the basic seven types of Prakriti (Vata, Pitta and Kapha and their blends), Ayurveda recognizes 16 types of personalities based on the classical Guna theory. Both Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas have a description of these types. According to them, there are 7 types of Sattva, 6 of Rajas and 3 of Tamas, totaling 16 types of personalities under which all people can be grouped.

The seven types of Sattva are: Brahma Sattva, Mahendra Sattva, Varuna Sattva, Kubera Sattva, Gandharva Sattva, Yama Sattva and Rishi Sattva.

The six types of Rajas Sattva are: Asura Sattva, Rakshasa Sattva, Paisaca Sattva, Sarpa Sattva, Praita Sattva and Sakuna Sattva.

The three types of Tamas Sattva are Pasava Sattva, Matsya Sattva and Vanaspatya Sattva.

Sattva exists only as itself, it is neither positive nor negative, like the Divine qualities of Truth, Love, and God.

There is no good or bad Sattva however Rajas and Tamas, as described so far have both positive and negative aspects and their misuse leads to suffering.

Ayurveda Acharya Sushruta, who is said to have lived around 1000 BC in Varanasi, defines health as:

“Sama dosha, sama agnischa sama dhatu mala kriyah

Prasanna aatme, indriya, manaha, swastha ithi abhidheeyate” ||41||– Sushruta Samhita, Sutra Sthaana, Chapter 15, verse 41

Means...

“health is the state of equilibrium of the three subtle gunas of the body, Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. This intelligence is connected to the Supreme consciousness and correspond to the fundamental dosha energies of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

All three forces affecting each other in various ways. Rajas and Tamas exist in the field of Sattva, Tamas and Sattva are found in the field of Rajas, and Sattva and Rajas move in the field of Tamas. The essence of the three quali­ties is their interplay. Rarely is seen pure Tamas, pure Rajas or pure Sattva. There must ever be readiness for the Gunas to change. The second law of the Gunas is 'the law of continuity'. The Gunas tend to hold their particular natures for a certain period once they come into dominance. Substances stabilize on the level of one of the three Gunas. While it is initially is difficult for Tamas to become Rajas, or for Rajas to become Sattva, once they do so they will continue in that same quality.

The universe, which is based on the triple nature of time and which is sustained by the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara), is permeated by the Divine in the form of the three gunas--SatVa, Rajas, Tamas." (This was the meaning of the Sanskritsloka with which Bhagavan began His discourse).

Nature presents a marvellous picture. No one can fully comprehend it. Whether it is blessing or bereavement, joy or sorrow, gain or loss, it comes from Prakriti (Nature). Nature presides over the destinies of all creatures. This Nature comprises the three gunas. The Trinity represent the three gunas. The three qualities account also for the processes of creation, sustenance anddissolution--Srishti, Sthithi, and Laya. All the varied experiences in the world arise from the three gunas.

The concept of Ayurveda is focused around the idea of equilibrium and balance. When the elements, humoural qualities and gunas that make up prakruti(nature) are in balance they are thought to create harmony, longevity and good health, but while they are imbalanced, they are believed to cause negative effects.

BASTI KARMA AND IT'S BENEFITS

 Basti has been described in nearly all texts starting from Veda, Purana upto Yogic and all Ayurvedic Samhitas. Basti is the most important Karma among Panchakarma Treatment.

Basti Karma is the major procedure in Panchakarma therapy. Basti works in the region of the colon, but its impact is so far reaching and deep.

The site of action of Basti karma is Pakwashaya i.e. lower gastrointestinal tract. It is the main site of Vata dosha. Hence enema is mainly useful for the treatment of vitiated Vata (Ashtang Hrudaya Sutrasthana 19/1). Imbalanced Vata can affect almost all system in the body, as Vata is a necessary presence throughout the body. Vata first accumulates in the colon, and then as it begins to overflow, it will spread and create imbalanced vata in other susceptible parts of the body. This systemic imbalanced vata can affect almost any system in the body, as vata is a necessary presence throughout the body.

Basti provides herbal cleansing and nourishment directly into the intestines and colon.

Vata is the Bioenergy responsible for all voluntary & involuntary activities of the body. In normal or physiological states vata dosha is responsible for all important functions of the body like heart beats, Inspiration and Expiration, Peristaltic movements, musculo skeletal movements, urination, defaecation, Menstrual discharge, semen ejaculation and even delivery process. So basti can be helpful in preventive & curative aspect for all these conditions. Vata is mainly responsible for the excretory functions. Vata control and facilitates the separation as well as removal of mala from the human body. When vata get vitiated there are disturbance of equilibrium of all activities. Vata alone is responsible for more than 55% of the diseases encountered by humans. Vayu is responsible for the separation and combination of stool,urine,pitta,including other malas of body, when all this get exceedingly aggravated there is no remedy other than basti for its allevation. Basti is one among five therapeutic measure in Ayurveda, specially indicated in vata and vata dominant conditions, mainly of three types Asthapana basti ,Anuvasana basti, Uttara basti.

In this process Medicated decoctions and oils are administered in the body through anus with the help of instrument specially made for Basti process.

Basti is the first line of treatment for the elimination of Vata-Dosha from the body. It eliminates vitiated Vata- Dosha and regulates the normal-functions of Vayu in the body.

Basti, induces restoration of Semen, increased anabolic activities in emaciated persons, improvement in vision, prevention of aging, increase in luster, strength and longevity. Thus, Basti karma in its different forms has a very broad scope.

The Niruha–Basti promotes strength, appetite and intellect and body luster. It is useful in all kind of diseases, in all kind of patients including children, old and young. It regulates. It gives strength to all the body especially to Shukra Dhatu removing the accumulation of Doshas from the body.

Basti Karma mentioned in Ayurvedic classics is having broader therapeutic index on almost all the tissues of the body and have rejuvenative, curative and preventive and health promotive

Basti is said as half of the treatment of Ayurveda (Charak Samhita Siddhi Sthana 1/39).

Anuvashan Basti : Mainly contained medicated oils. Asthapan or Niruha Basti – It contains other material in addition to oil like decoction, herbal paste, honey, etc.

Basti is commonly used alone or along with herbal medication in all Musculo-neurological disorders, Rheumatoid arthritis, Lumbosacral spondylosis, Distended Abdomen, Constipation and various types of other diseases i.e. Gout, Splenomegaly etc.

Digestive tract problems - like abdominal pain due to gas Constipation, Ulcerative colitis etc, retention of flatus, urine or stool. Basti therapy which while moving in the umbilical region, lumbar region, sides of chest and pelvic region churns up the stool including all other morbid matter located there and appropriately eliminates them with ease after nourishing the body.

Basti by clearing vata from the system also helps create energy and vitality as well as clarity in the mind. Basti promotes overall well-being, a graceful aging process, luster and a healthy glow as well as joint, back, and bone health.

Basti treatement increases longevity of life & complexion

After doing Basti, one should take care to follow Vata balancing food. Eat light, grounding, warm, oleative food. Rest and avoid Vata provoking activity, including excessive talking, extremely windy or cold weather, travel, and busy activity.

CREATING HEALTHY JOINTS WITH AYURVEDA

 Life without joints health is hard to imagine; our joints really are crucial to living life as we know it, and caring for them can have a huge impact on how comfortable we feel in our bodies.

Physiological functions of the body will be governed by three Doshas, that is, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vitiation of these Doshas leads in disease manifastation.

In Ayurveda as shleshaka kapha (a subtype of kapha- which is found in all 360 joints of the body) which links the joints to the health of meda dhatu (the adipose tissue, or fat) as well.

Sleshaka Kapha ( responsible for cushioning the joints) which keeps intact the joints and other similar structures. The ama shares many qualities with kapha dosha and therefore has an affinity with shleshaka kapha, that is primarily responsible for cushioning the joints. In the absence of proper nourishment, lubrication, and cushioning in the joints, the bones themselves can become rough, exposed, damaged, or deformed. Shleshaka Kapha is responsible for lubrication in all of the small and large joints of the human body. Movement in all joints would be impossible without Shleshaka Kapha, which lubricates all of joints in human body. Shleshaka Kapha is not only helps lubricate the joints but also helps as a shock absorber. Without proper action of this Kapha the whole framework of the body would not be possible. It’s located all over the body. When this subdosha is out of balance or increased, your joints could become swollen and irritated, whereas if it’s weakened, your joints might become dry and may crackle and pop. Without Shleshaka Kapha, there would be no connection between bones and movement would be impossible. Kapha is responsible for maintaining tissues, body fluids, lubrication, flexibility and firmness in the body, which are important for the proper functioning of the joints. Shleshaka Kapha a slippery synovial fluid, which lubricates the ends of the bone surfaces and also accommodates a tough, protective covering into which the ligaments and tendons can insert themselves.

All of the supportive tissues, bones, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue, are kapha dosha, while the joint cavity (provides a container for synovial fluid) or space where the bones meet is an element ruled by vata dosha. Most commonly affected joints due to vitiated Vata dosha are knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, fingers, and toes and common symptoms of Vata imbalance in joints are dryness, popping and cracking, and muscle tics and spasms.. The dryness of Vata can deplete the lubricating qualities of kapha and joint surfaces can become rough and brittle

Impaired agni (undigested food) leads to the formation of ama—a toxic, sticky substance immensely disruptive to the physiology. Then vata, which is the most mobile and active of the three doshas carries the ama to the colon, the seat (home) of vata in the body. If agni in the bone and joint tissues is at all compromised, the ama can enter those tissues and create all kinds of disturbances—from inflammation and swelling to deterioration of the joint tissue itself. In a condition of amavata, ama is carried by vitiated vata into general circulation throughout the body, it interacts with the kapha in the joint spaces, the Shleshaka Kapha (synovial fluid) loses its highly viscous quality and changes into a sticky toxic substance. Which start to begin to block vital channels throughout the body that carry nutrients to the tissues, which results in symptoms of excess heat, redness, pain, stiffness, swelling and acute inflammation. If this acute inflammation left untreated, can cause damage or injury to the joint and bone tissue resulting in a chronic condition, which can lead to degenerative disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

For supporting the joints on a more general level is a matter of clearing any accumulated ama, moving it back to the GI tract, and from there, eliminating it from the body. We also want to reduce inflammation, support proper circulation, and balance agni in the tissues. At the same time, kindling agni will ensure that neither excess dosha nor ama are able to find their way back into the joints in the future. Also, the excess vata also compromises agni (the metabolic fire), which can initiate the formation of ama (toxins) in the GI tract. Vata involves in the diseases of the neurological, musculoskeletal, psychosomatic, and gastrointestinal system disorders.

In Ayurveda, therapies like abhyanga, swedana, snehapana, nasya karma, vasti karma, and shamana Aushadhi are mentioned to combat the Vata vyadhi. Nasya karma is one of the therapeutic procedures of the Panchakarma Treatment, wherein the drug is administered through the nasal route, which not only alleviates the vitiated doshas, but also causes complete eradication of the vitiated dosha and the disease. As the procedure of nasya itself involves massaging and fomenting over the marmas existing on the face and head, this also helps in the alleviation of marmaksobha and Vatashamana. Abhyanga reduces the provoked Vata, which is responsible for the decay in the Dhatus and for manifestation of features like pain, stiffness, and crackes, stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.

Matrabasti : It nourishes the body, promotes the strength, and cures Vata-related diseases. Basti, through its action on Vata and Agni, promotes the formation of Dhatus. The colon is considered as main seat of Vata, and Vata-alleviating substances administered through the rectocolonic route in Matrabasti are able to have their optimum effect on the seat of Vata.

A periodic cleanse of your body is a way to support the joints because it so specifically kindles agni and clears impurities from the system. As the deeper the cleanse, the deeper the impact on specific tissues like the joints.

Ayurveda offers simple guidelines, herbal remedies & therapies for supporting healthy function of the joints. Ayurvedic perspective can support the health of joints even further by incorporating important diet and lifestyle principles.

AYURVEDA AND HYPERTENSION

 At first, it is essential to understand the physiological aspects of blood pressure in Ayurveda which is fundamentally based on the theory of Tridosha. This tridosha concept is the starting point for all diagnosis and treatment. The Ayurvedic dosha is read and interpreted like a blueprint outlining the basis of wellness as well as innate tendencies built into the overall individual system.

In Ayurveda, systemic arterial hypertension can be understood on the basis of involvement of vitiated Doshas where there is the involvement of Vata and Pitta predominant Tridosha, which hampers the flow of these Doshas in respective Srotas (micro-channels).

Ayurveda healing system uses the tridosha concept as its foundation for the prevention of illness and as a unique personalized medical treatment for each patient.

Ayurveda’s tridosha theory consists of principles of metabolism (pitta), principles of structure (kapha), and principles of motion (vata).

Vata Dosha

1. Prana Vayu : Prana Vayu controls the blood pressure by controlling of Vyana Vayu. So the pathology of Prana Vayu can be cause of abnormality of heart as well as vessels and developing hypertension.

2. Vyana Vata : With the help of Vyan Vata, heart will be contracts and propels blood continuously to all over body. So, it is proves that the involvement of Vyana Vata in regulation of blood pressure.

3. Samana Vayu: Samana Vayu has an important role in the blood circulation and blood pressure.

4. Apana Vayu: Apana vayu also plays important role in regulation of normal blood pressure.

Pitta Dosha

Variations in the basal metabolic rate can be understood as a result of the action of Agni or Pitta, more precisely the Pachak pitta.

KAPHA DOSH

Avlambak Kapha

Located in Heart.The normal rhythmicity, conductivity, excitability, contractility, tone and refractory period of cardiac muscle can be correlated with Avalambana karma of Heart. Therefore it can be said that Avalamabk kapha has some role on regulation of blood pressure.

When Vata predominates, an increase in blood pressure will be followed by stress,worry, strain, anxiety or insomnia. It frequently associated with nervous system disorders. Anxiety, worry, stress, and strain, are usually the main factors, therefore, treat the psychological conditions.

Pitta Dosha: When Pitta predominates, anger, nose bleed, Irritability and headaches are usually the main factors which increase high blood pressure.

Kapha Dosha: When Kapha is prominent, there may be dull headache, edema, and lethargy with obesity. Blood pressure remains continually high.

Function of the heart can be attributed to the functioning of the Vata Dosha, in particular the Vyana Vata as it is seated in the heart and is responsible for blood circulation. Charaka clearly describes that Vyana Vata, a component of Vata Dosha constantly forces the blood out of the heart and distributes it. Thus it can be said that the systolic BP attained during contraction of the heart is controlled by Vata (Vyana Vata). It is the Prana Vata situated in the Moordha (Brain) [Ashtanga Hridaya, Sutra Sthana, 12/4] that controls the heart and does Dhamani Dharana (arterial perpetuation) and thus heart rate is controlled by Prana Vata. So Vyana Vata and Prana Vata denote the nervous control of circulation because Vata, in general, denotes all neural mechanisms. Means regulation of Blood pressure can be understood by functions of Prana Vata, Vyana Vata, Sadhaka Pitta, Avalambaka Kapha, Rasa and Rakta Dhatu which are situated in Heart. The vitiation of Vata, Pitta and Kapha (Premordial factors), asthi meda etc. affects blood pressure Kapha vitiation (avalambak kapha) increases cardiac strength but due to sluggishness of kapha, it decreases the kapha and on other hand Pitta(sadhak pitta) and Vata (vyana vata) vitiation increases blood pressure.

Improper & modern sedentary lifestyle and food habits, psychological stress factors like excess worry,daily stress levels, fear, anxiety, environmental factors such as pollution-pesticides -chemicals and anger provokes and vitiates all the three Doshas to trigger the pathogenesis of hypertension. Over time, dosha imbalance can result from improper diet, poor digestion, daily stress levels, and environmental factors such as pollution, pesticides, and chemicals.

According to Ayurveda the human physiology depends on the functional dynamic state of dosha, dhatu, mala and agni. Tridosha are the biological entities which are responsible for all bodily functions and it's regulations. Triodosha are derived from panchmahabhuta and functionally tuned with the external environmental changes. Ayurveda has mentioned a lot about the rhythmic variation as diurnal and seasonal in function state of tridosha, agni, immunity and diseases propensity with respect of age, day and night and season. Thus all the chronological changes in environment effect the state of dosha, agni and produce rhythmic changes in human biology also. Ayurveda has also provided the measures to balance the dosha aggravated due to seasonal influences due to seasonal influences under the description of Dincharya and Ritucharya.

Hence to get the perfect management of hypertension without any side effects is a need of present era. In Ayurveda equilibrium of Doshas, Dhatus, Malas and Agni are considered as healthy state of an individual.

One or more of the following possibilities should be considered according to Ayurveda.

* Pathophysiological changes in the form of vitiation of Dosha(Vata, Pitta and Kapha), Dhatu and Mala Dushti.

* Psychological changes i.e. disturbances at the level of Mana (Manovaha Strotas Vikara).

* Structural changes as complications of long term hypertension on various organs like heart, blood vessels, kidney etc.

An individual’s basic constitution plays a key role in predisposition and the prognosis of diseases, as well as treatments and recommended lifestyle.
