Ayurveda

Healing diagnosis through urine smell? This is not talked dirty, but according to traditional Indian healing science of Ayurveda. Suppose you are interested, the doctrine still applied in Bombay.

Once upon a time, three thousand years ago, seven wise men who could not bear to see the suffering man, went to the foot of the Himalayas to the Gods for help. Supreme god, Brahma lowering Ayurveda, instructions live by the rules of cosmic harmony, restoration of health care science body, soul and spirit. By the messenger of the gods, the teachings presented in the physician Dhanvantari, who then pass them on to the seven wise men. That doctrine is now implemented in Podar Hospital, Bombay. To this hospital people come if you want to obtain treatment with dhara therapy. In a narrow space dim, breezy smell wafted herbs. On a bench located on the side of the long blue wall, look ten people were waiting patiently. Whether or relatives are waiting their turn. A female patient lying on the table pollinated care. "The woman was suffering from insomnia," said the chief  doctor Pardhesi to a colleague. The female patient lying with closed eyes, breathing evenly and deeply, and head leaning back. A hospital official overseeing dhara therapy that takes place in a calm atmosphere that concentration. In the midst of the forehead of the patient drip of oil that has been blended herbal mixtures. The liquid drips through a wick that comes from a vessel that hung on the ceiling like a light. Vessel was swinging slowly. More and more Slow this quickly so that the droplet on a regular basis could fall around the forehead, though not always in the same place. Droplets was no flow to the back of the head, to the temple, eventually falling into a bowl fence.

According to dr. Pardhesi, head of the hospital,  "dhara treatments lasted for half an hour each day in a few weeks. Goal is to rid the body of excess vata organ," Vatha, which among other things regulates the activity of the nervous system, consisting of the elements of air and ether. Hospitals that provide free care for those who can not afford it to perform three principles of ayurveda medicine, ie vatha, pitta and kapha. Harmony of these three principles is tantamount to healthy both physically and mentally. Any attempt to redevelop handling three core earlier.

Vatha

If for example, vata is too strong, it would appear the disease can not sleep, nervous and some other psychiatric illnesses, it should be used vata inhibitor therapy. Its own vata is dry, light, rugged, cold and moving. The oil dripped on the forehead calming vata. Because of the nature of moist droplets, heavy, soft, giving warmth and slow motion. Plants also calming vata. Lie down and meditate also inhibit "motion" vata.

Pitta is too strong

Nearly half of Indian doctors practicing medicine in accordance with the teachings of ayurveda that was

3000 years old. Ayurveda doctor called vaidyas, have the same status and rights as their colleagues who obtain a Western education. Not out of respect for the tradition of ayurveda course taught at the university and studied, so much in demand. But many diseases that can not be cured by modern, such as heart disease and allergies, successfully cured with ayurveda. Even psychosomatic illnesses and chronic can be treated, but treatment through the West encountered many difficulties. Pitta influence can be seen in an old man lying in Podar Hospital. With a look of apathy, the old man looked at the ceiling which is fanning winds. As if he did not hear the sound of people walking and undisturbed. Pitta has caused his skin to turn yellow. He suffered from acute hepatitis. The yellow color means the organism pitta too strong, especially in the liver.

According to dr. Antarkaar, fist part Podar Hospital study, for the ancient ayurveda experts, who diagnose through their five senses, pitta among other means heat, acid and red. Thus, inflammation is accompanied by a burning sensation, red color and fever are typical pitta diseases. Including stomach ulcers. The pitta disease patients, often sour and spicy mouth feel. Hepatitis including typical pitta diseases are characterized by inflammation and enlargement of the heart, with feeling of heat, often accompanied by fever and tongue tasted spicy. Dr.. Antarkaar admit, it's hard to understand really what it vata, pitta and kapha. However, he explained earnestly ayurveda, not from the standpoint of the traditional way, but with the help of modern science. "Everything flows. In life there are always changes. Ayurveda is the art of balancing these changes, so that someone happy and healthy life. Time, seasons, weather, food, friendship, hostility, work and sleep, intensive human influence; Ayurveda believes that all flowing from the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether. above five names represent, five different kinds of material. "Fire" can be translated from the hot sun, spicy foods and sharp. however, can also view the hostility. Yet all things from outside that affect humans, contain the elements and thus affect the body manusia.Maka of that, ayurveda, taught to recognize the sensitivity of our five senses, so to know, what is good and what is not.

Physicians should be sharp senses

A practice room window curtains adorn the dr. Antarkaar arthritis expert. Many patients with back pain and joints that came to him. He pressed it, pressing here, put his ear feeling the pulse, this question-it, and wrote a prescription. Everything was done with a sympathetic and every patient gets his attention. Dr.. Antarkaar somewhat shocked at his seat when asked how to diagnose ayurveda. "Every person has the constitution on his own choir. At the beginning of treatment, an ayurvedic doctor will examine the constitution, for example how to live, how to work, food and drink, whether he is happy or not, and why. Problem is, all of that explains the disease. Afterwards , specific questions regarding the perceived discomfort body. checks done through the five senses physicians, including the nose and the tongue. " Of the pulse alone, the physician who is experienced can tell a lot. Smell and color of urine is also scrutinized. Likewise, the urine crystallize as they dry, while floating or submerged in oil droplets, when fused or scattered on the surface. According to the teachings of ayurveda, urine tests can be diagnosed through 20 form the appearance of a disease called prameha. Prameha according to the new approach is considered diabetes. However, modern diagnostic equipment bukaanya not used. That is why in Podar Hospital is also a tool X-rays, blood and urine laboratory, chemical analysis, biochemical and microscopic. Together with the physician and pharmacologist West graduate, dr. Antarkaar effort to penellitian based on the teachings of ayurveda and western teachings. The result, among others, guggulu drugs for arthritis, as well as treatment with cortisone, even without the side effects. Likewise with hepatitis.

Space purification

Many of the difficulties confronting the study of traditional therapies. What effectual ingredient contained by a

drug, it is often not clear, resulting in a lack of funds and manpower. Efficacy test costs for some traditional medicines are often more expensive than modern medicine. You see, the medicine could only visible effect under certain conditions, in certain phases. That is why, in the research projects, the efficacy of various treatments such as the rhythmic disturbances, cardiac, gastrointestinal pain, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, malaria and epilepsy remains to be proven. Are included in the basic ayurveda therapy is "cleansing" to strengthen the existing elements and destroy toxins that interfere with the body. The cleaning was done through massage, enema, personal diet, sweating, vomiting, nasal stimulation, yoga exercises and blood circulation. The "cleansing" Hospital "Podar filled steam and smell the herbs. Dr.. Antarkaar and his colleagues entered the dimly lit room. Patients seem drenched in sweat. Disebuah wooden bench, sat an old man trembling. Pieces of leather wrapped head width which serves as a cap. Ditopi open the top, drained the oil that has been mixed with warm nutritious plants to treat Parkinson's illness. From tubs sauna, one standing and one lying down, the head bemunculan. A man in a white sort skinny little boy with a linen cloth bundle containing rice intermittently dipped into a warm nutritious plant extracts. every time it touched the warm bundle, the boy squirm. Massage that lasts one hour per day, aim to treat veins shrink so children avoid of paralysis. Dr.. Antarkaar showed a sheet of paper containing notes the progress achieved in a period of three weeks, the child's thigh circumference had increased from 25 cm to 28 cm.

Efficacy depends on the season

Gas chromatography and lookups, computer monitors, Atomic Absorption spectrometer and a cage full of rats used in laboratory researchers Zandu Ayurvedic pharmacology in Bombay to examine the efficacy of herbs for medicine. Krishna Kant Parikh, president of the pharmaceutical company that studied in Munich, invited around the lab. "We are working to produce ayurvedic medicines with modern standards. However, we encounter many difficulties.'s Hard to give a guarantee that a drug derived from the same plant and contain a mixture of the same quality." Most of nutritious crops difficult to recognize because it is sent only dry leaves. Another difficulty, efficacy is mostly grown-tumbuhanpun vary by season. If the composition of doubt, use research tools. A young woman shows the chromatogram of ultraviolet rays. Special piece of paper that is typical lines to capture the content of a plant, leaving the chart. Plants are shipped chromatograms examined and compared with the standard. On the other table, there is a microscope with a projector. Thus the composition of plants known to exist on paper. However, the work was not completed quickly. Because plants totaling 11000 sorts. Meanwhile, another expert in the company looks busy researching the efficacy and side effects of ayurvedic medicines. In a box that essentially half hot, put rats. This is to test, whether the drugs increase "resilience in the rat to heat". It was recorded by automatic calculating machine. For example, mencatata how often and how long the mice could stand in the hot part. Through the microscope, the rat kidney medicine containing mercury were also examined. Not far from there, a woman taking pasein blood with a syringe. The experiments were conducted to answer the what and how ayurvedic medicine can treat inflamed hands of a child.

Antitoxin cow urine

Ayurveda treatment in a way, not only the use of plants, but also a variety of minerals, including toxic minerals such as mercury and arsenic. When asked about the danger, dr. Bhatt gave testimony, that ayurvedic medicines are not dangerous because it has been through the process of removal of toxins. Such plants containing aconitin alkoloid, one of the most violent poisons, which are rarely used in Western medicine, it is used to treat common cold without side effects. Mengilangkan way aconitin poison plant roots, such as by washing several times with cow urine, then dried in the sun. Pharmacologist in Zandu show ancient Indian method in reducing toxicity. Washed five times the roots so that the poison is gone. Nevertheless the pharmacologist in Zandu know that drugs that meet the standards do not automatically heal. They are still in the stage of maintaining the quality first. However, to determine a suitable crop still to be completed. "In fact, sometimes we do not know whether the plant is used matches or not," said dr. Bhatt. "Even in a recipe, picture of the plant and how to cultivate it often remains unclear." Because most of the ayurvedic recipes, dating from 200-500 AD the golden age of ayurveda. Doctrine of ayurveda disappeared in the 16th century, when it appeared the Islamic rulers who oppose the use of cow dung in the treatment for excrement. As a result, the tradition stopped. Now, the works of ancient medicine studied again. Dr.. Vasudev Shastri Lata, one ayurvedic doctor, busy listening to the teachings. His job is not easy. You see, the text is not in the form of a detailed guidebook, but more in the form of symbols used in Sanskrit which is usually written on the palm leaves. In Zandu and other research institutes in India, more and more run, etnobotanik to prove ayurveda recipes used today. The effort is intended to protect existing tradition that is almost forgotten. With images and curves on a computer screen, with bottle gourd flute and chemical objects, scientists in laboratories and elsewhere Zandu do research. But, certainly, the science of ayurveda is not only healing but also his life. The pharmacologist businesses in India that attract Western pharmaceutical companies. Although when it comes to profit no common ground. Hoechst laboratories in India also managed to make a smooth blood circulation heart and eye medicines forskolin. However, overall, the experiment to prove the active substances of plant active nutritious nutritious plants based on the teachings of ayurveda have not been achieved.

The most influential food

Prof. Ramesh Kulkarni, a drug homeowners also explained that modern therapy, according to the patient's condition, can bring out a side effect. However, not the case with the theory of ayurvedic medicine. Because ayurveda uses rhythmic, biological. Body composition is closely related to time, season, age, and habits of life. According to the teachings of ayurveda, food is the most influential elements of the balance of body composition and health. Good menu consists of six different flavors: sour, sweet, salty, spicy, bitter and blend all the flavors. Nonetheless, everyone's taste is different. That is why there are places seasoning vessel so that everyone can adjust the taste. Each flavor contains elements typical efficacious. Eg salty taste comes from the ground and fire. That is why, kapha and pitta element aroused. But muffle vata element. According to the teachings of ayurveda, which enter the body makanna any direct effect on the soul. However, ayurvedic doctors, now tenah is a difficult path. If they do not manage to convince the West that the philosophy of ayurveda doctors helped create a picture of the new man, then eventually ayurveda will not be recognized.

Yet according to dr. Bhatt, true health includes physical and spiritual health. "Ayurveda is developed by people who believe in God. So understanding health according to the teachings of ayurveda include trust in God."
