How can a
ritual so luxuriously relaxing, so blissfully comforting as a full-body
warm oil massage rev up your body and mind, gearing them up for peak
performance? Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old holistic healing tradition
from India, has an explanation for the seeming contradiction.
Healthy digestion assures that all of
the nutrients taken in through eating are assimilated in a healthy manor
into the cells that become you. In other words, you are what you digest!
If your digestion is healthy, your body can produce healthy tissues (dhatus).
When digestion is weak, the tissues of your body such as muscle, blood
and nerve become weak susceptible to disease.
Ayurveda is the ancient and
traditional medicine of India. A holistic form of medicine,
Ayurveda
focuses on creating an optimal environment within the body for healing
to take place. The goal of Ayurveda is to support the body’s internal
healing capability.
The culture and philosophy of India
has had a profound impact on the West over the last several decades.
Almost weekly we read reports in popular magazines how Yoga has
entered the mainstream of American culture. Now with the advent of
Ayurveda, we have yet another contribution from India, a complete
ancient system of natural health care.
THE FIVE TYPES OF
VATA,
PITTA AND
KAPHA There are in total five forms
each of Vata,
Pitta and
Kapha, called "Subdoshas". They reside in
different sites in the body and perform different functions.
Panchakarma-the detoxification process- is a comprehensive system of
knowledge and practices to purify the body of toxins and restore it to
balance with natural law. These ancient
Indian remedies are said to ease aches and inflammation. A new study
prompted us to take a closer look. We don't usually think of ginger,
turmeric and frankincense as medicinals. Instead the names conjure up
images of a kitchen spice shelf, a tasty curry or an exotic incense.
The functional intelligences within the body. As soon as life enters
into the body, three vital principles emerge which regulate and control
the biological functions.
Panchakarma therapy, ("Five Cleansing Actions"), is the traditional
Ayurvedic Method for bodily detoxification and rejuvenation.
Ayurveda: The Mother of Natural Healing
Eight important rules are involved in the intake of a proper diet. These
are called Asta Ahara Vidhi Visesayatana (Eight Factors of Diet and
Dietetics).
By far, cancer is the most feared of
all disease. Taunting humanity with the threat of a slow, painful death
it is often the first disease people think they have when they
experience pain or feel a lump in their bodies and the last they want to
talk about. Going to the doctor, patients wait with baited breath for
the phone call that tells them, yes or no.
Part one of this series detailed the
Western understanding of cancer, its pathophysiology, statistics,
screening tests and treatment. In part two of this three part series the
Ayurvedic concepts of gulma, granthi and arbuda shall be introduced.
Ayurveda, which literally translated
means "the science or knowledge of life" is the traditional medical
system of India. Its origin dates back an estimated 5-10,000 years, and
it is widely considered to be the oldest form of health care in the
world. It is understood by most scholars that, as knowledge of
Ayurveda
spread out from India, it influenced the ancient Chinese system of
medicine, Unani medicine, and the humoral medicine practiced by
Hippocrates in Greece. For this reason, Ayurveda is often referred to as
the "Mother of all healing."
Respiratory Disease will afflict every
human being at some time in their life. Whether it’s a
cough associated
with the common cold or respiratory distress associated with
allergies
and asthma, respiratory challenges are a constant source of irritation
and misery for the afflicted.
Disorders of the breath affect almost
every human being at some time in their lifetime. Whether due to a
common cold resulting in
bronchitis or something more serious such as
asthma or
emphysema, the ability of people to simply breath is not
always as easy as it seems.
A characteristic feature of traditional medicinal systems is that they
consider the individual as a whole, rather than just the disease.
In ancient Vedic thought, the individual soul was
symbolized by fire. Our inner soul, hidden like a secret flame deep
within our hearts, abides inextinguishable throughout all our states of
consciousness of waking, dream and deep sleep. It endures as the witness
through our every birth and death, through all the many sojourns in the
various worlds and planes of existence of our soul’s vast manifestation.
Ayurveda is a science of Self
understanding. By understanding your own unique nature or
constitution
you can begin to understand how you interact with your environment and
thus make choices that will lead you toward greater health.
To change something we must alter the
energy which creates it. This fact is true in the practice of Yoga. To
bring about positive changes in body and mind we must understand the
energy through which they work. This is called Prana in Sanskrit,
meaning primary energy. It is sometimes translated as breath or vital
force, though it is more than these.

In this land
of plenty, a conservative estimate calls 4 out of 10 Americans
"addicts." Abused substances include sugar, caffeine,
alcohol,
nicotine,
prescription drugs and street drugs including pot. Addiction can serve
us well once we recognize that substance abuse is a way to obscure
honest, peaceful, self-discovery.
ADHD is diagnosed by health professionals who
form their opinion by observing a child's behavior. There are no brain
scans, blood tests, or anything else definite that is used during
diagnosis. The problem with this is there are many other problems that
have the same symptoms of
ADHD. Only settle for the diagnosis of
ADHD
after checking out all of these problems and many more.
AIDS is a chronic, life-threatening
condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging
or destroying the cells of your immune system,
HIV interferes with your
body's ability to effectively fight off viruses, bacteria and fungi that
cause disease. This makes you more susceptible to opportunistic
infections your body would normally resist, such as
pneumonia and
meningitis, and to certain types of cancers.
"The Alzheimer's
type of dementia does respond rather well to chelation therapy. Fifteen
Alzheimer's disease patients, in a private clinical setting, were tested
first, then administered chelation therapy, and were observed by loved
ones to have returned to normal, or near normal, functioning. It was a
gratifying experience for everyone involved with the testing and
treatment: diagnosticians, clinicians, health care technicians, the
patients, plus their family and friends."
This fact sheet
answers basic questions about arthritis and rheumatic diseases. The
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)
has other fact sheets and booklets that provide more information about
specific forms of arthritis and rheumatic diseases. NIAMS also has
information about exercise and arthritis, pain and
arthritis, and diet
and arthritis.
Arthritis is one of the most common diseases
in this country. It affects millions of adults and half of all people
age 65 and older. Arthritis causes pain and loss of movement.
It can affect joints in any part of the body. It often is a chronic
disease, which means that it can affect you over a long period of time.
The more serious forms can cause swelling, warmth, redness, and pain.
Autism is a complex developmental disability that
typically appears during the first three years of life. The result of a
neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, autism
impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social
interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism
typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication,
social interactions, and leisure or play activities.
Type A
influenza
viruses can infect several animal species, including birds, pigs,
horses, seals and whales.
Influenza viruses that infect birds are called
“avian influenza viruses.” Birds are an especially important species
because all known subtypes of
influenza A viruses circulate among wild
birds, which are considered the natural hosts for
influenza A viruses.
Avian influenza viruses do not usually directly infect humans or
circulate among humans.
In breast cancer, cells in your
breast begin growing abnormally - often for unknown reasons. These
cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells and may spread through
your breast or into other parts of your body. The most common type
of breast cancer begins in the ducts designed to carry milk after
childbirth, but cancer may also occur in the small sacs that produce
milk (lobules) or in other breast tissue. Candidiasis has
been around for thousands of years, but it's only since the advent of
antibiotics that it has become a virtual epidemic. Antibiotics are a
factor in the development of candidiasis because they kill off the
friendly bacteria in our systems that keep the common
yeast,
Candida
albicans, under control. When the
Candida yeast overgrows its bounds, it
causes a variety of symptoms that can range from general fatigue,
gas,
bloating, diarrhea, and frequent vaginal infections in women.
Candida is a
yeast,
which is normally present in the bowel. It feeds on sugars, simple
carbohydrates and fermented products like
alcohol and cheese. Everyone
has
Candida in the gut but the problem with it only occurs when the
numbers gets out of control. Causes for this can be: too many
antibiotics, a hormone imbalance (the pill is a major factor in this)
stress and poor nutrition. These affect the balance of organisms in the
gut and allow the bad ones to multiply.
Yeasts, tiny fungi-like organisms found on plant leaves, flowers and in
soil and saltwater, assist in the decomposition and recycling of plants
and algal.
Yeasts also play an important role in human culture and
history - imagine a world devoid of beer, wine and bread. Commercially,
yeasts produce
alcoholic beverages by fermenting rice, wheat, barley,
and corn, and in the baking industry they are used to help dough to
rise. Brewer's
yeast - a rich source of protein, B vitamins,
niacin, and
folic acid - is often taken as a supplement.

Constipation can undermine
the whole body and it is now known that irregular bowel movements are
directly related to serious health conditions.
Constipation does not
have to be a problem if you will practice prevention with your children
and implement the suggestions found in this article.
If you
experience constipation for more than 1 week, you should consult your
healthcare provider to determine the cause of your problem. Most people
are suffering as a result of lifestyle changes and choices. For some
people, though, constipation can signal a more serious problem such as a
bowel obstruction or even colon cancer. If your bowel movements smell
foul it is your body giving you a warning signal! Listen to your body.
If you’re
like many Americans,
constipation is something you’ve experienced. Over
4 million people each year report being constipated. Cases of colon
cancer are rising steadily. To understand why you may be suffering, you
first need to know exactly what
constipation means.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your body doesn't
make enough of a hormone called insulin, or if your body doesn't use
insulin the right way. If left untreated, it may result in blindness,
heart attacks, strokes,
kidney failure and amputations. Only half of the
people who have diabetes are diagnosed because in the early stages of
diabetes, there are few symptoms, or the symptoms may be the same as in
other health conditions. Since the
introduction of potent antiretroviral therapy,
HIV has been successfully
converted from a uniformly fatal illness to a manageable chronic
infection. Correspondingly, during the past 6 years the opportunistic
infections that complicate profound immunosuppression have been replaced
with newer forms of morbidity and even mortality.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness
caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. Over the next few
months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North
America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak
of 2003 was contained. This fact sheet gives basic information about the
illness and what CDC has done to control SARS in the United States.

Hepatitis C (HCV) is a global disease with an expanding incidence and
prevalence base. Of massive public health importance,
hepatitis C
presents supremely challenging problems in view of its adaptability and
its pathogenic capacity. The unique strategies that HCV utilizes to
parasitize its host make it a formidable enemy and therapeutic
interventions need considerable honing to counter its progress. Ozone,
because of its special biological properties, has theoretical and
practical attributes to make it a potent HCV inactivator.
In the series entitled "How You Rot & Rust" which is in other areas of
this manual, we introduce the concept of pH and its relationship to
one's health.
READING" LIVE BLOOD It is absolutely fascinating to watch the play of
life at the cellular level.
Ozone, an allotropic form of oxygen possesses unique
properties which are being defined and applied to biological systems as
well as to clinical practice. As a molecule containing a large excess of
energy, ozone, through incompletely understood mechanisms, manifests
bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal actions which may make it a
treatment of choice in certain conditions and an adjunctive treatment in
others.

It seemed the perfect
match for us "women of a certain age" an
easy-to-swallow pill that could soothe our
menopausal symptoms, keep our bones strong, protect
us from heart disease, and lower our risk of colon
cancer. But alas, our love affair with menopausal
hormone therapy (HT), which used to be called
hormone replacement therapy, came to an abrupt end
last summer when researchers leading the Women's
Health Initiative (WHI) published their startling
findings about the therapy.
Hot
flashes, or more correctly called hot flush, is the most
common complaint of menopausal women. Up to 80 percent
of women experience them to some degree, with up to 40
percent suffering enough to seek medical attention.
While some women never have a hot flash, most are
inconvenienced for a year of two. For some women flashes
may persist up to 5, even 10 years.
More than ever before in the history of
mankind, human beings need to have healthy livers to break down the
chemicals that have crept into our environment. If you talk to
radiologists and gastroenterologists who are looking at people's livers
today they will tell you that the condition "Fatty Liver" affects more
than 50% of people over the age of 50!
A woman’s
menopause is defined as the cessation of
menstruation for six to twelve months in older women. In most
industrialized nations it is accompanied by
anxiety,
insomnia,
headaches, irritability, fatigue and vaginal dryness, not to mention hot
flashes, which 65-80% of American women will experience.
n 1997, about 42 percent of U.S. adults used some type of alternative
therapy, for a total expenditure of $27 billion. Acupuncture and several
dietary supplements, such as soy, isoflavone,
and black cohosh, have been advocated for treatment of menopausal
symptoms, but the extent of their use in the general population is
unknown. Newton and colleagues surveyed women enrolled in a large
managed-care health plan to assess the prevalence of alternative
treatments for menopausal symptoms and the characteristics of women
who chose such therapies.
Everyday, women of all ages, from menarche through the change of life, experience a need for relief from pre-menstrual, menstrual, pre-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. Conditions such as mood swings, cramps, excessive bleeding, irregular cycles, hot flashes, and seemingly
insatiable cravings affect hundreds of thousands of women.
