Have A Peaceful And Happy Life With Ayurveda

ABSTRACT

In today’s era and traditions going on, it’s so easy to say, we are busy. One of the characteristics of modern life is that we are moving at an ever-increasing rate. However, our temptation to caught up in this frantic life of everyday rush has also catabolized our peace and happiness; and it may be begging the question-are we metabolizing and digesting our emotions of everyday life adequately? The answer is NO. To gain inner happiness and peace, Ayurveda offers a unique system of treatment based upon life style adjustments, individualized dietary programmes, powerful herbal formulas and spiritual focus of yoga and meditation.

BODY

The major question which strikes on mind is- what is happiness and peace? As said by ‘Mother Teresa’-

PEACE BEGINS WITH A SMILE.

Happiness is the inner transitory period of life which we experience only when something interesting happens in life. It is nothing but a feeling of satisfaction which is different for different people. Our happiness can be permanent if we find inner peace. By leaving all the desires, you can achieve peace because it is the quietness inside you. Peace is accepting the life as it is and is the state of positivity. The only and foremost way to find peace and happiness is to maintain positive thoughts.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, many of us suffer from a loss of meaning, direction, vitality, mission, purpose, identity and genuine connection- it has been considered as simple ordinary thing which is a deep unhappiness. I call this pandemic of unhappiness and uncertainty in life as ‘silver lining’ and believe that it blinds us from seeing the potential for joy and wholeness in ordinary life.

As the covid-19 pandemic wreaks havoc across the globe, one of its major victims is global economy. In India, small businesses with weak revenues are struggling with cash flows while daily-wage earners are starting to see eventheir meagre income impacted by the shutdowns. Lockdown pushes students coaching institutes into limbo. Specific sectors like entertainment, tourism and aviation are starting to blur. Over time, it becomes easier to accept a lack of meaning in our lives as normal.

Seeking happiness in the worldly material things do not seem to work out. At some point, it becomes clear that lasting happiness cannot be realized in any world, body or mind, in any experience, situation or relationship. Whatever is dependent on a cause is temporary and cannot last and we should remember the words of ‘Swami Vivekananda’ in ‘Raja Yoga’-

TELL YOUR BODY THAT IT IS STRONG, TELL YOUR MIND THAT IT IS HAPPY AND HAVE UNBOUNDED FAITH AND HOPE IN YOURSELF.

Due to job loss or uncertainty in life, many people are suffering from depression, insomnia, anxiety, stress which ultimately leads to heart related ailments and it can pose a serious threat to the person’s life. But always remember that happiest people on earth don’t have best of everything, but they make best of everything they have. Most of the life events make us happy for short time, so happiness is not the final destination, peace makes us more happy, conscious and above.

Now the major question- how to deal with it? The ancient teachings of Ayurveda tells in-depth about the profound relationship of the mind’s influence upon the body. It makes us aware of our place in the world of nature through the movement of time.

Ayurveda includes an awareness of pure internal nature through our thoughts and emotions. It teaches us how to harmonize ourselves with sunrise and sunset, the seasons of the year and the stages of life from birth to death. It shows us how to adapt to environmental forces of heat and cold, dampness and dryness and clear and cloudy days. Along with its natural rhythm, Ayurveda shows the right diet for the physical body, right breathing for the panic body, the right impression for mind, harmonious emotions for the heart and the right thoughts for our higher intelligence. We must remember that being happy is all about fulfilling your desires and it may not give you inner peace.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Amlapitta / Parinaam Shula (Acid Peptic Disease)

ABSTRACT

In today’s life we all are so busy in our work and leading a very stressful life with unwholesome dietary habits, which is a biggest cause for developing various disorders related to various systems in our body and especially their origin starts from our gut. One among these diseases is Acid Peptic Diseases (APD), these are quite common nowadays. In this article, we are going to discuss in detail about the causes of this disease, pathogenesis, and its treatment aspect by following the Principles of Ayurveda with natural herbs.

INTRODUCTION

Acid-Peptic diseases are categorized under Amlapitta and Parinaamashula as per Ayurvedic classics. These diseases affect the digestion of the individual and basically occur due to irregular diet and lifestyle and due to our weak digestive fire (Mandagni). Incidence ratio of such diseases is quite high in the Pitta prakruti people and those who are leading a sedentary lifestyle. These diseases will develop some minor to severe symptoms like a simple indigestion to severe ulcers in the mucosal layers of the internal digestive tract.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES?

There are lots of causes that develop this condition. So, before starting a treatment always try to find out the exact cause because merely by avoiding the cause we can help in treating the disease and also avoid the chances of their complications. And these causes can be ruled out with proper interrogation with patients. Let’s discuss them:

• Are patients indulging more in foodstuffs that are hot in nature (ushna), cause burning sensation (vidahi), sharp (tikshna) and irritate the inner mucosa (kshobhak). And often consumption of junk foods leads to such issues.
• Is there any prolonged history of stress and strains (chinta) and Depression (manoavsaad)?
• Any history of diseases such as Mandagni related issues (Low digestive power), Vibandha (Constipation), grahani (Irritable bowel syndrome) or H.Pylori.
• Any family history of such issues because these diseases are also quite common in generations.
• Extra production of HCL in the body.
• Prolonged use of medicines which have sharp and hot potency.

PATHOLOGY THAT HAPPENS DURING APD

During these diseases the pathology that occurs is as follow:

• Increased production of HCL (Hydrochloric acid) in the stomach.
• Reduction in the Mucosa that is nothing but depleted Kledak Kapha.
• Alters the production of gastric juices.
• Produces inflammation in the inner layers of the GI tract.
• Hampers the normal peristalsis thus, food stays for a long time in the stomach and causes various signs and symptoms.
• Lastly, can erode the layers and causes ulcers in the tract.

PATHOGENESIS OF THESE DISEASES

After knowing the proper cause of the disease we can aspect the dosha dushya vitiation. Here, in this disease Tridoshas are involved. Pitta aggravates the production of HCL in the stomach, Depleted Kapha will lead to affect the mucosal layer and develop ulcers, and Vata hampers the peristalsis. These doshas affect Rasa, Rakta, and Mamsa dhatus and develop Amlapitta / Parinaam shula.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ACID-PEPTIC DISEASES

The common signs and symptoms of these disease are mentioned below:

• Indigestion
• Bloating
• Burning sensation in the stomach
• Belching
• Acidity
• Excessive flatus
• Constipation even sometimes develops diarrhea
• Heartburn
• Heaviness in the chest
• Severe abdominal pain
• Headache
• Ulcers in the digestive tract
• Discoloration of feces

TREATMENT MODALITIES AS PER AYURVEDA

The treatment of Acid Peptic diseases should be done on the basis of etio-pathogenesis. And treating the root cause is only a way to get rid of such health issues. Let’s go through the treatment offered by Planet Ayurveda in these diseases which is totally based on herbal and calcium compounds because they are efficient enough in managing them.

• Try to manage the HCl production – As the production of HCL is increased in these disorders, we need to reduce them with the help of herbs and calcium compounds such as Guduchi, Prawal, Mukta, etc. For this, Planet Ayurveda has formulated Heartburn capsules. These capsules normalize the production of HCL.
• Corrects the depleted Kapha – We need to promote the Kledak Kapha in the body, so the medicines that are required are Amalaki, Yashtimadhu, Guduchi, etc. By keeping these things in mind we have prepared Amalaki Rasayan capsules. These are helpful in increasing the Kapha dosha in the GI tract.
• Avoid stasis of food in stomach – Here, we need to increase the peristalsis of gastric so that food doesn’t stay for a prolonged time in the stomach and gets digested well. In such cases we need some deepana -pachana herbs like Jeeraka, Haritaki, Dhaniya, Saunf, etc. And we developed Digestion Support Capsules. That helps in digesting the food well and even restores the normal peristalsis. Even Digesto Plan Syrup is prepared for this purpose. These capsules are even helpful in eliminating the growth of bacteria like H. Pylori from the colon.
• Heals up the ulcers – For this condition we need some medicines that have tendency to heal the eroded tissues such as Vrana ropak properties. In our clinical trials we found that Arjuna is effective in this condition and heals the ulcers at a rapid pace and we are using Arjuna Capsules.

Here we talked about how we can treat the root cause but sometimes the symptoms are so severe and we need to take certain measures to counter the symptom. Thus we have also formulated some formulations to counter the symptoms directly, such as:

• Curbs Acidity as well as bloating – In case of hyperacidity we need to neutralize it with the herbs like Patola, Pitta papda, Shatavari, Kumari, etc. Hence we came up with Acido Plan Syrup that contains various herbs that can neutralize the acidity.
• Clears the passage – During this condition individual are unable to evacuate the motion clearly or sometimes motion is not well formed or sometimes frequency is increased, in these cases we are advising Vara churna, Kabaj Mukti Tablets, Motion Stop, Atisaran Mukti Capsules and Belgiri Churna, that depending upon the condition of the patient.
• Ease the air – In case of excessive gas production we need to take the help of herbs like Ajmoda, Shatpushpa, Yavani, etc. and we prepared Gasoplan Capsules for this reason.

Even we are taking the help of some classical formulation to tackle this condition and we are using medicines such as Prawal Panchamrit, Sutshekhar Ras, Kamdudha Ras, Mahashankha Vati, etc.

CONCLUSION

These diseases are aroused due to vitiated Digestive fire in our body because of our improper diet and lifestyle. So always try to treat them from the root. The best way of treating them is with herbs and calcium compounds which are naturally present in our surroundings and the results will last long.

In this disease vasculitis (the inflammation of blood vessels) of small and medium vessels takes place and forms granulomas (a structure formed due to collection of macrophages) and further develops necrosis of the tissues.

In earlier times, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is known with the name Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG).

Herbal Remedies for MOG Antibody Disease

MOG Antibody Disease is an autoimmune neurological disorder which is characterized by the inflammation of the optic nerves and/or the inflammation of a section of the spinal cord and the brain. In this condition, the immune dysfunction targets the Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) which is a protein located on the outermost myelin sheaths of the nerve cells. The condition can be effectively managed in a natural manner, with the help of some beneficial herbal products available from Planet Ayurveda herbal manufacturing company.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: OVERVIEW

MOG Antibody Disease is an idiopathic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, which includes the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. It is a neuro-inflammatory condition associated with an atypical immune system response to the MOG (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein).

In this condition, the antibodies – proteins that circulate in the blood stream and are a part of the body’s immune system – target the MOG which is found on the outer membrane of the ‘Myelin’ fatty protein that insulates and protects the nerve cells, and enables speedy transmission of messages from the brain to the different parts of the body. The antibodies to MOG damage the myelin sheath, and hamper the message-transmission process along the nerve. Due to the damage to the myelin sheath (demyelination), patients suffering from MOG Antibody Disease can experience neurological symptoms (related to the brain and the nervous system).

In most cases, MOG Antibody Disease is linked to Optic Neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerves), Transverse Myelitis (inflammation of a portion of the spinal cord), and/or Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (inflammatory condition that affects the brain). The course of the disease can be monophasic (one-time occurrence) or relapsing.

MOG Antibody Disease can affect individuals of all ages. However, the disease usually starts affecting individuals during the early- to mid-30s. The risk of developing the disease is slightly higher for women as compared to men.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: CAUSES

The exact cause behind the occurrence of MOG Antibody Disease is not known. Nonetheless, it is apparent that the disease is linked to an abnormal immune system response to MOG protein and, thus, affects the central nervous system. It is also believed that disorders associated with MOG are typically non-familial disorders.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: SYMPTOMS

The symptoms of MOG Antibody Disease can range between mild and severe, depending on the extent of demyelination and the parts of the brain affected by the condition.

Based on the inflammation of the optic nerves, the spinal cord or the brain, some of the symptoms of MOG Antibody Disease are:

• Blurred vision
• Pain while moving the eyes
• Loss of color vision
• Complete vision loss (in rare cases)
• Pain in the back
• Weakness in the legs
• Weakness in the arms
• Bladder/bowel problems
• Nausea and vomiting
• Unsteadiness
• Lethargy or extreme tiredness

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: TREATMENT

The treatment of MOG Antibody Disease is aimed at controlling the recurrence of the disease or preventing its relapse in future. The common treatment options for the disease include oral steroids, oral immunosuppressants, Plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs), and Intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP).

Ayurvedic Way of Effective Fasting for Different Body Types (Prakritis)

Ayurveda, a science of life that was established several years ago, is a potent pathy which was in practice in India but with time, it spread Worldwide due to its efficient ways of treating the diseases from its root. This science has given the ways of leading a normal healthy life of an individual as well, which is very clear in its Aim (Aim of Ayurveda) –“ स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं आतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनं च ”. In other words, it clears that it helps to protect the health of a healthy person and treat the diseased one. That’s why this holistic approach to mankind is the reason where people tried to chase this treasure from our ancient Sages and Vaidyas.

In Ayurveda, there are 3 approaches to treat any disease or to stay healthy, they are – Aahar (Diet), Vihaar (Lifestyle) and Aaushadi’s (Medicines). These three are the main sources or ways which can help to treat us. And one of the methods to attain this is Langhana Therapy (Fasting). Fasting is a technique of refrain from the foods for a stipulated time. It plays its key role in managing the digestive health and curbs the morbid materials from our body. It can of any type – a whole day fasting or intermittent fasting. Fasting can be practiced for particular hours of the day, we can abstain from some particular food stuffs, can skip all the foods and just on water for some duration and so on. And there is a great importance given to langhana in Ayurveda – “ लंघनं परम् औषधं ” langhana is considered as the best medicine because of its importance, let's discuss it.

IMPORTANCE OF FASTING

In our daily routine, we consume so many processed things and we do overfeeding that is not good for our body and they develop various toxins inside the body. These toxins will give rise to various health issues. So, to increase our digestive fire, maintain the normal metabolism and detoxify the body and fto keep the diseases at bay, we should do fasting. It will help to maintain the healthy functioning of our body.

But as per Ayurveda, Everyone has a particular constitution i.e. Prakruti. But it will be dominated by Vata dosha, Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha. So, Fasting for a period of time also varies from Prakruti to Prakruti i.e. it depends upon particular dosha.

Even fasting is a ritual practice in most of the cultures. Let’s go for particular Dosha dominant prakruti i.e. Vata Prakruti, pitta Prakruti and Kapha Prakruti.

FASTING FOR KAPHA PRAKRUTI

Kapha dosha is composed of Earth and Water elements. This represents the characteristic of an individual like they are strought, well built, sluggish movements and having a strong immunity. So, these prakruti people have more Meda Dhatu (0adipose tissue) and fasting helps to curb it. So fasting is a great choice for this prakruti as fasting brings lightness in their body. These people can fast for the whole day, can stay hydrated with just water, can skip the meals for 3 days or can do fasting once in a week, regularly. That will not hamper and cause any kind of side effect on their body. It will help to bring balance in all the doshas especially Kapha and Vata dosha. Fasting will help to increase their digestive fire hence accelerates their metabolism. This will be a good choice for kaphaj prakruti people.

FASTING FOR PITTA PRAKRUTI

Pitta dosha is composed of fire and water elements. This represents the characteristic of an individual like they are more angry, with moderate body built and moderate immunity. But, these prakruti have a good digestive fire so they need to do the fasting moderately or can do intermittent fasting. They should not skip the complete meals because it will affect their body. Or they can do fasting occasionally. They can consume fruits, juices or have khichadi or light satvik aahar meanwhile. Because they already have a strong Agni, and fasting increases our appetite and it will curb the normal dhatus in their body. They can do this once in 15 days.

FASTING FOR VATA PRAKRUTI

Vata dosha is composed of air and space elements. This represents the characteristic of an individual like they are very lean with less immunity but they are very active. These prakruti people have irregular digestion, sometimes they can digest well and sometimes they feel like bloated. Fasting helps to aggravate Vata and Pitta dosha in our body hence vata prakruti individual’s should not skip the meals. For maintaining health, they can just skip one of the meals of the day or can fast once in a month, Or can do intermittent fasting with light meals, skipping some particular food for stipulated time, or can just stay on khichadi and fruits for the whole day. Vata prakruti people should not fast for a long time because it will further aggravate vata dosha in their body so instead of giving benefits it will raise various health issues. Once in a month they should do this fasting to detox their body.

SOME TIPS FOR FASTING FOR PARTICULAR PRAKRUTI

• For Kapha Prakruti - Kapha prakruti people can even drink lukewarm water on the day of fasting. You can curb fats for some days.
• For Pitta Prakruti - Can stay on some fruits and salads for some days.
• For Vata Prakruti - You can switch to particular light foods for duration along with fruits.

But everyone after fasting should not start immediately the normal and heavy meals. Rather these should gradually be added in our daily routine.

EFFECTS OF FASTING ON OUR BODY

With fasting we can achieve the following things:

• Feeling of lightness
• Become active and alert
• A good digestion
• Detoxification of our body
• A fast metabolism
• Maintain body shape and weight
• Increases the body’s immunity
• Enhances the higher mental functions
• There will be a natural glow and a positive energy in our body

WHEN TO DO FASTING?

If you have poor digestion and have symptoms like indigestion, coated tongue, constipation, bloating, burping and heaviness in the body. Then it’s a time to detox the body by eliminating the morbid materials and you must revitalize your whole body.

CONCLUSION

Fasting, a healthy procedure to detoxify yourself that boosts the function of our body and clears the channels and also it will be a great choice and a simple way to lead a normal healthy life without diseases.
