Set your healing goals we help you achieve them

The Vaidyas spoke from a broad spiritual perspective and also daily practical tips were given. The viral infections are happening because of pollution effecting our breathing, the purity of our water is compromised and the quality of the earth is being damaged so our food is no longer healthy.  Then the next big contributor is our lives that are out of tune with Nature.  We don't spend time in Nature and also our "DHINACHARYA" or circadian rhythm and routine is our of wack.  Best to wake up before sunrise and be in bed and asleep before 10 PM. The one Vaidya who works with government and WHO, did get the vaccine and had a "breakthrough" infection as he called it.  It was generally accepted that there is no way to stop this inoculation drive as it was politically driven.   In terms of prevention, good diet and daily routine are always first. In the beginning days of the pandemic they Ayurvedic clinicians were prescribing more herbs but now they are staying w...

The third speaker takes a broader approach to understand what is the cause of this viral event. He also gives good tips for prevention.  At the bottom you will see  Q and A.  Hope you found this as fascinating as I did. I particularly like the answer to the question about vaccines by Dr. Rammanohar, who himself said that he had been vaccinated but had a breakthrough infection.  He points out at the end of the conference that there is good scientific evidence on research done in Britain and Switzerland that life style and diet are more important than vaccination in preventing infection. Third Speaker: Dr N. N. Namboodiri IMPORTANT OF SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IN A PANDEMIC Many are gripped in fear and thinking about mortality and fear of future and their own life. In CHARAK SAMHITA, the most important text of Ayurveda, there is one chapter about ADHARMA or not living in tune with Natural Laws.   We see atmospheric pollution in cities like Delhi and other very c...

The second speaker Dr Prasad gave practical tips on prevention. I felt a real connection with him as I have been recommending Nasal Oil and Oil pulling in the mouth - these are areas where the virus enters.   Makes sense to strengthen the ability of nasal passages and mouth lining's ability to create antibodies to the virus.  This has been documented by science from the University of Buffalo that the lining of the nasal and oral mucosa create the first antibody to the virus. Immunoglobulin A.  So science is confirming what Ayurveda says.  Your nasal passages and mouth are your first line of defence.  The nose oil I personally use and recommend is  Tridoshic Nasal Oil http://www.chandika.com/tridoshic-nasya-oil/?afmc=d2 So oil in the nose and rinse the mouth with herbs as suggested below.   Hope you find some useful tips here from Dr Prasad Second Speaker: Dr Prasad In the last 17 months we have dealt with this pandemic with individuals and in a so...

  Two hours online conference from India June 26th 2021.  It was a transformative experience for me to listen to these 3 physicians and Ayurvedic experts.   Here is my short summary.I have recorded it but am only compiling this from notes and memory. Refinements to come later. Moderator. Dr. Unnikrishan First Speaker: Dr F. Rammanohar BAMS MD - advisory board to AYUSH for government of India. When the pandemic hit early 2020 the Prime Minister of Prime Minister of India met with the AYUSH committee (AYUSH -encompasses Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Traditional natural medicines) telling them that their responses needed to be science based.   Therefore this set a tone for interdisciplinary collaboration. Many steps were taken to avoid unsubstantiated claims and there was a strong presence of Traditional Medicine and COVID in the media. These herbs were backed up by science and evidence based research: Ashwagandha, Gugguli and Pippili, Licorice Ayur 64 - combination of 4 he...

 I first heard of heavy metal toxicity working at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg over 50 years ago. At that time many young children were coming in with lead poisoning as we still used to paint our cribs and walls with paint that had lead in it. The treatment at that time was intravenous EDTA.  We no longer use lead in paint especially not on cribs.  I believe EDTA is still used as a chelating agent for lead and other heavy metal poisoning Next big area of heavy metal use was in the amalgam filling in dentistry.  Now many people are carefully removing these filling preferably by dentists who know the way to detox the mercury from their systems.  It's a big industry now, helping people remove mercury from their mouths. We are finding out that our oceans are polluted with mercury and other heavy metals and many people are questioning the safety of eating the harvest coming from the seas. The industrial age has created all kinds of toxicity. Slowly our awarene...

 The colon is an intelligent organ.  As food is digested and travelling through the digestive tract or alimentary canal it reaches the colon.  The beneficial bacteria and fibre and water have to be in the right balance to create a stool that nourishes the lining of the colon as it travels done its journey to be eliminated.   However sometimes this balance is disrupted for whatever reason and we can get diarrhea.  It can be a bacterial imbalance or sometimes toxins that are being eliminated are irritating the lining of the colon and they need to be flushed out.  In either case its not a terrible even if it is short lived and you maintain a good hydration of your body. Please check the previous blogs of hydration teas. Also just taking some apple juice with a pinch of salt is a quick hydration drink.  The "pedialyte" that you buy in drugs stores is a blend of SODIUM AND POTASSIUM in water to replace the loss of electrolytes.  However if the per...

  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 ...
