SOME HOME REMEDIES
Posted by on Saturday, 29th March 2014
आंखों के नीचे काले धब्बे ( black spots below the eyes ) :-
आंखों के नीचे काले धब्बे होना आम समस्या है कम सोने, अधिक थकान होने, कमजोरी अथवा किसी बीमारी के कारण होते है । प्राय: नींद न आने की बीमारी के कारण होते हैं और उनकी आंखों पर काले धब्बे पड़ जाते है । नींद लेना स्वास्थ्य के लिये आवश्यक है । यदि आपको नींद नही आती, आप को थकावट रहती है तो रोज सुबह घर में ही एक्ससाइज करनी चाहिये ।
आंखों की चारों तरफ की त्वचा बड़ी नाजुक होती है । इसलिये सौन्दर्य प्रसाधन लगाते समय बड़ी सावधानी बरतनी चाहिये । सोने से पहले त्वचा को नमी देने वाली क्रीम या लोशन इस्तेमाल करनी चाहिये । रूई के फोहे को आंखों के इर्द-गिर्द लगाएं । आंखों के लिये बादाम क्रीम सबसे उपयुक्त होती है । इससे रंग भी साफ होता है और साथ ही त्वचा का पोषण होता है। कोई भी सौन्दर्य-प्रसाधन तत्व आंखों वाले क्षेत्र पर ज्यादा देर नहीं लगाना चाहिये । चेहरे पर लगाया जाने वाला लेप आंखों के आसपास नहीं लगाना चाहिये । आंखों पर खीरे का रस,आलू का रस तथा गुलाबजल को रूई के फोहे में भिगोकर आंखों पर रखना चाहिये ।
मुँहासों के सफेद व काले दाग का प्रभाव :-
सफेद मुहांसे से भी काले मुँहासों की तरह त्वचा में चिकनाई जम जाने के कारण होते है । इन काले और सफेद मुँहासों में अंतर यह है कि जहां की त्वचा मुलायम और चिकनी होती है वहां रोम छिद्रों में चिकनाई बाहर नहीं निकल पाती इसलिये अंदर ही अंदर वह पस के रूप में बाहर की तरफ उभर आती है । जो ऊपर की तरफ से सफेद तथा नीचे से काले मुँहासों की तरह दिखाई देती है । अधिक चिकनी त्वचा के लिये यह अधिक परेशानी पैदा करती है । इन्हें समाप्त करने के लिये बाजार में उपलब्ध सौन्दर्य प्रसाधन व कुछ घरेलू नुसख़े काम में लाये जा सकते है।
चेहरे को पानी से अच्छी तरह धोकर साफ तौलिये से पोंछ लें और फिर सल्फर लोशन लगाएं । इसके बाद गर्म पानी में तौलिया भिगोकर चेहरे को भाप दें। इस उपाय को करने से त्वचा के बंद छिद्र खुल जायेंगे तथा इसके साथ-साथ आप विटामिन बी. सी की गोलियों का सेवन भी करते रहें ।

AYURVEDIC MEDICINE AMRITADI KWATHA ALONG WITH PRANAYAMA FOUND USEFUL IN THE MANAGEMENT OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Posted by on Friday, 28th March 2014
Modern medicine is rapidly developing medications that provide instant relief from symptoms, but the hazards of beta agonists and complications of corticosteroids prompt the search for alternative modalities in the management of bronchial asthma.
The present research study evaluated easily available, inexpensive and non-controversial herbal drugs as well as
Pranayama in the management of bronchial asthma.
For this clinical study 60 patients have been divided into 3 groups. 1st Group was treated with trial drug and 2nd Group with standard drug. The 3rd Group was treated with trial drug and Pranayama. All the groups have equal number of patients -i.e. 20 each.
The short-listed patients were diagnosed on the basis of a detailed questionnaire including the history, clinical examination as well as laboratory investigations. The diagnosis was further confirmed using spirometer.
Diagnosis has been made according to bronchial reversibility test i.e. 15% increase in FEV1 after 15 minutes of two puffs of a adrenergic agonist. Subjective as well as objective parameters were adopted for assessing the response of trial drugs graded in to 0, 1, 2, and 3. Patients were advised to practice the anulom vilom pranayama BD, 10m.
After the study results were analysed and Group I & III showed significant improvement in clinical symptoms whereas Group III patients also showed marked improvement in PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS (FEV1, FVC, PEFR).
It was observed that anulom vilom pranayama has a definite additive effect with standard drug therapy in the treatment of Tamak swasa (bronchial asthma) as shown by the subjective and objective assessment.

AYURVEDIC THERAPIES ŚHODHANA AND BASTI KARMA PROVED USEFUL IN HEALING VARICOSE ULCERS
Posted by on Friday, 21st March 2014
Venous ulcers (stasis ulcers, varicose ulcers) are the wounds occurring due to inappropriate functioning of venous valves, usually of the legs. It is one of the most serious chronic venous insufficiency complications.
When a venous valve gets damaged, it prevents the backflow of blood, which causes pressure in the veins that leads to hypertension and, in turn, venous ulcers. Without cleaning and regular dressings, the ulcers usually spread quickly. Venous ulcers can be very painful and may limit mobility and quality of life.
The longer the duration of the venous ulcer, the more is the damage to skin and greater the difficulty in healing. Treating varicose ulcer is a difficult task to the physician and a nightmare for the suffering patient, though different types of treatment modalities are practiced in allied sciences.
In a recent research study ; patients with above conditions provided with Processed castor oil with Neem and Guduchi - 50 ml orally used for Nityavirecana with 50 ml Śunthikashāyam for 3 days. Nityavirecana is the specific therapy in Ayurveda in which the medicine may be processed in oil or as decoction is administered orally for cleansing the bowel and liver system.
This improves the Agni metabolism of the individual. This is the first and necessary step in any enema therapy.On day 4 of management, ManjisthādiBasti karma was started with BalagudūcyādiAnuvāsanaBasti (60 ml) in kālabasti pattern.
Noticeable improvement in the symptoms was seen, it was upto 60% in edematous swelling, burning sensation was reduced up to 40%, and pricking sensation was reduced up to 30% after Nityavirecana. Moreover, Basti karma, edematous swelling was reduced to 95%, Burning sensation to 70%, and pricking sensation was reduced to 80%. Healing of the ulcerous wound started with the proliferative stage by the 3 rd day of the Basti course and the wound got healed up to 90% after the whole course of Basti karma with no adverse event during the entire course of treatment.
Possible action of these therapies-Nityavirecana (bowel and liver system cleansing therapy) Basti karma (medicated drug enema):-
In Ayurveda, this condition is considered as dustavrana and better managed with specific śodhana therapy (Purification therapy).This can be treated successfully with śodhana (purification) and śamana (pacification) therapy. So, the fore mentioned benefits of Nityavirecana (liver and bowel cleansing therapy) and Manjishthābasti (decoction enema therapy) were assessed in alleviating the symptoms and in the healing process of varicose ulcer in the patient.
Digestive and assimilation capacity and enzymatic functions through the liver system was improved by the Nityavirecana. By the laxative actions it created osmotic effects in the gut to suck the extra fluid retained anywhere in the body and is ultimately helpful in the wound healing process. Three days of treatment with Nityavirechana resulted in good appetite, reduction in the edematous swelling around the foot, and starting of granulation tissue formation in the ulcerative wound.
This research concluded that AYURVEDIC THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES, ŚODHANA (PURIFICATION THERAPY), LIKE NITYA VIRECANA (bowel and liver system cleansing therapy) AND BASTI KARMA (medicated drug enema)ACT ON NON-HEALING ULCERS AND HELP THEM HEAL.

AYURVEDIC DRUG SHWAS KASA CHINTAMANI RASA PROVED TO BE USEFUL IN ASTHMA
Posted by on Friday, 21st March 2014
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in nearly all industrialised countries. An attack is experienced when the asthmatic child's chronically inflamed bronchial airways, having become sensitised to certain environmental allergens (e.g., dust, smoke) and conditions (e.g., exercise, cold weather, stressful emotions), begin to overproduce mucus in their presence.
This leads to the swelling and muscle contraction that obstructs air flow and restricts breathing. Although asthma has been known for millennia, but even after century a root cure of asthma is not yet available. The modern medicines of asthma can control the acute asthma symptoms, but did not cure this disease significantly.
In a recent research study conducted in Banaras Hindu University Varanasi; The children with age group of 2-12 years having symptoms of cough, fever, breathlessness, running nose, restlessness, wheezing, etc., were selected and divided into subgroup 'A' having positive history of taking bronchodilator and corticosteroid and subgroup 'B' having positive history of taking bronchodilator only whereas subgroup 'C' patients having no history of taking steroid or bronchodilator prior to the registration.
Patients were advised to take SKCR drug in a dose of 4 mg/kg/dose × 12 hrly (in powdered form) mixed in Garlic: Ginger: Honey (GGH) [in 1:2:4 ratio] to the patient and given for the 45 days.
The drug SKCR was given for a total of 45 days in a dose of 12 hourly with garlic, ginger and honey in ratio of 1:2:4. In most of the cases findings were suggestive of significant clinical improvement during the follow-ups.
In present study, analysis of incidence of common features in group 'A' all the signs and symptoms were subsided except the cough and wheeze in one case (10%) on third follow-up while on second follow-up approximately 40% cases relapsed after getting fresh exposure to the trigger factors during the management. In group 'B' and group 'C', incidence of most common features were subsided and all the patients had became asymptomatic on third follow-up.
This study suggested that the drug
SHWAS KASA CHINTAMANI RASA IS MORE EFFECTIVE IN THOSE CASES WHO ARE NOT RECEIVING CORTICOSTEROID WITH BRONCHODILATOR IN COMPARISON TO CHILDREN RECEIVING CORTICOSTEROIDS WITH/WITHOUT BRONCHODILATOR.
IT IS ALSO EFFECTIVE IN CHILDHOOD BRONCHIAL ASTHMA THAT HAS THE HISTORY OF STEROID AND BRONCHODILATORS. NO SPECIFIC ADVERSE EFFECT OF DRUG SKCR WAS OBSERVED.
