Antibodies produced in Nostrils

-

 

Did you know that the mucous lining in your nose produces antibodies?  This is amazing!  We all know that the nostrils are an important first protection from environmental antigens (bacteria, virus, pollens, chemicals etc). The mucous moistens, warms and cleans the air that we breath.  But is does much more than that. It produces the antibody, Immunoglobulin A.


Ayurveda has known of the importance of the nostrils, sinuses and oral mucosa for 1000’s of years. I get very excited when modern science confirms Ayurvedic wisdom. It shows me that there is some progress in the consciousness of the scientific community.


Recently a Michael W. Russell emeritus professor Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, wrote a scientific paper emphasizing the importance of nasal and oral mucous lining in the immune response.


He states, “Clearly the response of the systemic immunoglobulin G antibody (the most abundant circulating antibody) is important… we do not deny that … but on its own it is insufficient. He then underlines the importance of the antibody produced by the nasal mucosa immunoglobulin A (SigA) and recommends that more studies are needed on the mucosal immune response and the nature of mucosal secretory immunoglobulin A (SigA) antibody response.  


Professor Russell is saying that is the reason swabbing the nasal mucosa is a good test for COVID is because the invading virus congregates in the mucous lining of the nose. He even goes so far as to say that possibly a nasal vaccine might be the answer to the current global crisis. There are groups doing research on this possibility.


However in the mean time let’s keep using our wonderful nasal oils specially formulated by Vaidya Mishra.  Oils with herbs to increase the intelligence of the nasal passages. This will protect us from invading viruses, bacteria, pollens and invading chemicals.  Click on link below to order TRIDOSHIC NASAL OIL

Make a paste of Turmeric and Aloe gel..it worked for inflamed gums for us.

 Gingivitis... we found a simple solution. My partner was suffering from an inflamed gum for weeks and went to the dentist who seemed not concerned and said "If it gets worse let me know." Then the inflammation of the gum got so bad that his cheek started to swell on one side and he looked like a chipmunk on that side.  We try to avoid antibiotics because we know that they play havoc with your micro-biome and it takes a long time to reestablish a good bacterial flora in the gut. We went to Grandpa Google and looked at what had helped others with this problem.  From the many suggestions what jumped out at me was TURMERIC and ALOE VERA.... Wow! both are very high in my esteem.  And I also knew that Turmeric even though it is a wonderful medicine, it can be drying and heating.  And immediately my intuitions said "Aloe is cooling and moistening, Let's combine them!"   That is exactly what we did. We put 2 teaspoonfuls of Turmeric in a small dish and made a...

Detox Soup

-
Harsh detox protocols can be very dangerous and many modern day toxins are "hot" or can burn the delicate fine channels of elimination in the kidney and other tissues.  Shaka Vansiya Ayurved teaches that there are 4 categories of toxins. Ama or undigested food that is sticky and cold and we need hot spices to eliminate this type of toxin. So ginger and pepper and fenugreek and other heating spices would work well. However once that toxin has been sitting around for a long time it becomes hot.  We might call it a "free radical" in modern scientific terms. Shaka Vansiya Ayurved (now referred to as SVA) calls this Amavisha.  This type of toxin needs a different approach to detox. Before moving the toxins out of the body we need to bind them with mucilaginous food like barley, okra, tapioca, arrowroot, taro root and others.  I find zucchini and other summers squashes are most readily available, even though they are not extremely mucilaginous.  Then you can start mov...

To Drink or Not to Drink Milk

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar. However there are certain rules around drinking milk.   Firstly the source must be of good quality.   The cows have to be well treated. The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and re...
