1-Blood Purification and increasing haemoglobin using Manjishta
Low haemoglobin levels are due to malfunctioning of liver which doesn’t clean up the toxicants in blood every day.These toxicants can be due to varied reasons such as our bad food habits, pollution, smoking, alchohol, drugs and weak immune system.
In Ayurveda, Manjishta(Rubia cordifolia) is the prescribed herb for purifying blood and improving skin’s health.
The root of Manjishtha has astringent, anti-bacterial and diuretic properties.It helps in curing Skin disorders, Recurrent Urinary Tract infections and Rheumatism.It purifies the blood by removing toxins from
blood, dissolving obstructions in blood flow and removing stagnant blood.
It is alterative, anti-tumor, astringent, deobstruent, diuretic, emmenagogue, hemostatic, lithotriptic in action and acts effective as an immune regulator. Manjishtha is at the same time bitter, astringent and sweet in taste and heavy, dry and hot in effect thus it is a pacifier of both kapha and pitta.Manjishtha is used in treatment of number of diseases like raised uric acid and gouty arthritis, glandular swellings, recurrent skin infections and other diseases of the skin like pigmentation anomalies and leucoderma,
gynecological problems, like white discharge and irregular menstruation.
It is used in many herbal formulations also. It can be used both internally as medicine or externally as face pack. This herb is specially advisable in skin ailments such as pimples, acne, freckles and discoloration but it can also used for gaining luster or glow of the skin.
It is also known as Indian Madder.Intake of 2 teaspoons of manjishta powder for atleast 100 days is advised for better visible results.Take one glass of warm water and mix 1-2 teaspoonful of honey and
one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Take this preparation daily before evacuation.

5-Toothpastes or Hidden Poisons ?
Scientifically researched toothpastes are hazardous
Our teeth decide how good we look. Especially when we smile, teeth adds glamour to that smile.Imagine a good smile with bad teeth? can you? no you can’t !
Just think before you read this article further !If those so-called scientifically researched, clinically approved toothpastes are that great, then why does current generation suffer from tooth decay and why do our ancestors who used neem sticks etc had rock solid teeth till they lived?
Look on any such toothpaste like colgate, closeup, pepsodent etc.
Americans take care about all health products they use. So they make sure that precautions needed to be taken while using their pastes are written on them.
Precautions written on toothpastes :
1. Children between age 2-6 years should not use more than 1/4th length of paste on toothbrush.
2. Children should be supervised not to swallow toothpastes, and if they do it by mistake, they should be immediately taken to a poison control center and consult a specialist.
But in asian countries these companies don’t bother to publish such precautions.Few companies don’t even publish the expiry date.
Why should we not use these Toothpastes
Toothpastes are made of Dicalcium Phosphate, which is an extract from dead animals bones.Flouride exists in many pastes, which causes weakness in bones and breaks them.They use a chemical named Sodium Laurel Sulphate which is useful in getting foam from pastes when mixed with water or saliva.This chemical is also used in detergents !Using this is mouth or swallowing this causes Cancer related diseases.
Usage of Lead , Arsenic in pastes causes harm to kidneys, brain, nerves, liver and muscles.
Observe how many toothpastes have got ISI / Agmark on them ?No medical association in the world has ever certified Colgate as the safest brand among toothpastes.
The Pricing Drama
To manufacture 1 Kilo of paste it costs just Rs.35/-But they are selling Kilo paste in market between Rs.275 – Rs. 350/-Every year Indians buy Rs.200,00,00,000 /- worth of toothpastes and transfer this money to multinational companies and buy bad health and tooth decay.Is this the real Colgate Suraksha Chakra ??? . Think and react.
What are the alternatives ?
Neem, Babool, Banian, Vajradanti etc sticks are the best to brush our teeth.Neem has been researched on and found that it can kills 320 types of viruses found in our mouth.1 Neem Tree gives Rs.15,00,000/- worth of oxygen in its lifetime.
Why should we brush with fingers ?
According to accupuncture, palms and underfeet skin have pressure points for all organs in our body.If we brush with thumbfinger, Brain and Pitutary glands improve their performance.Index finger usage can relief mental stress.Middle finger and ring finger usage can reduce synus and cold problems.Little finger usage will increase memory.
Usable Toothpastes
For people who can’t use neemsticks etc, there are few toothpastes which are made using ayurvedic method and materials.Misawak, Neem , Babool , Vicco Vajradanti, Amar, Promise are made in such way and are safe to use on our teeth.
They are vegetarian and have no hazardous chemicals.
Think and react folks !Why do most of us have tooth decays today and going around dentists when we use toothpastes made by modern day scientists?Why do people in villages using neem sticks etc still have stronger teeth and have never visited a dentist in their lifetime?Think and react, else lose your teeth forever.

15-Brown Rice better than White Rice
We are brought up with a belief that everything that is white is good.Be it skin color or anything else.Rice we use has also suffered through this belief and is being polished a lot to get whitest of the white color.This polished white rice is being sold at much higher prices than unpolished semi-red color rice.
But the fact is that unpolished rice , which is semi-red/brown in color has necessary Vitamins(Bs), Minerals, Fibre, Riboflavin, Iron which help our body grow stronger.Completely polished white rice is nothing but a carbohydrate leftover which can cause only unnecessary diseases like excess fat, diabetes, arthiritis, weak bones, weak eyesight etc.Our ancestors who ate unpolished rice never even knew
about such diseases.Did we ever hear that our great grand father had diabetes or knee pain ?Then why do we suffer by consuming White Poison ?
Unpolished Rice has very less Amylopectin Starch. This helps in controlling Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Obessity etc diseases.
Every rice grain has Phytic Acid & Polyphenols which cause obstacles for digestion process.So, to reduce their effect we need to cook unpolished rice in this manner :
1. Every half kilo of unpolished rice should used with double the amount of water and to be mixed with 1/2 spoon dry yeast.
2. Boil it for 2 minutes while stirring it.
3. It should be left boiling till water almost evaporates.
4. Wait for 10 minutes after switching off the stove and then remove the water layer above the rice.
5. Now unpolished rice is ready to be served.
** If you can’t find unpolished rice in our area, atlease try for medium polished rice till you find the original one, but make sure that you never use white rice/poison again !
NOTE : If you consume more wheat than rice, then pick only unpolished wheat to make its flour.

hairiness on women in those parts of the body where terminal hair does not normally occur or is minimal – for example, a beard or chest hair.It refers to a male pattern of body hair (androgenic hair) and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and psychological concern.Hirsutism is a symptom rather than a disease and may be a sign of a more serious medical condition, especially if it develops well after puberty.
Hirsutism affects women and sometimes men, since the rising of androgens causes a male pattern of body hair, sometimes excessive, particularly in locations where women normally do not develop terminal hair within their puberty (chest, abdomen, back and face). The medical term for excessive hair growth that affect both men and women is hypertrichosis.
Hirsutism can be caused by either an increased level of androgens, the male hormones, or an oversensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. Male hormones such as testosterone stimulate hair growth, increase size and intensify the growth and pigmentation of hair.

19-Thyroid Ayurvedic and Yoga treatment
The thyroid gland is situated in the front of the neck and produces a hormone thyroxine which plays a very important role in regulating the general metabolism of the body. When it is defective, the conditions known as myxoedema (in adults) and cretinism (in children) result. An excess of its secretion is associated with a condition known as exophthalmic goitre or thyrotoxicosis or Grave’s disease.
1. Hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis: in which the gland secretes excess of hormones. This condition is more common in women than in men whose age ranges from 30 to 50 years. Thyrotoxit individuals become tremulous, irritable, anxious and even hysterical. Because the metabolism is raised, they experience rapid heart rate and palpitation, rapid shallow respiration. Frequent bowel motions and diarrhoea, Flushing, heat intolerance, sweating, menstrual disturbance and sometimes bulging of the eyes. Such people suffer the paradoxical situation in which they feel fatigue and lack of energy and yet are compelled to move about, talk and do things. They are constantly fidgeting and the slightest remark may set off an inappropriately angry response.
2. Hypothyroidism : here the thyroid is underactive, producing too little thyroid hormone. This condition is far more common than hyperthyrodism and can be caused by iodine deficiency or thyroid failure brought on by pituitary dysfunction, inflammation, and scarring. By far the majority of cases are mild or borderline, unrecognized by the medical establishment. Yet these mild cases can be the cause of vague, but persistent, disorders such as fatigue, depression, loss of vitality, and overall hormonal imbalance. More severe problems from hypothyroid are the result of failure to develop properly, such as cretinism and juvenile myxodema. Long term hypothyroidism, such as adult myxodema, which is characterized by swelling of skin and subcutaneous tissues; dry, cold and slightly yellow skin, puffy face, loss of eyebrows, anginal pain, bradycardia, anorexia, constipation, and anemia.
To cure this, yoga and ayurveda suggests the following methods which can be followed at home.
YOGA ASANA and MANTRA for THYROID problem:Get up early in the morning before sun rise. Sit down in PADMASANA on the floor.Choose a pleasant place for this.Pronounce the mantra “OM HRUM SWAHA” loudly.Do it every day, this clears your throat.
Long before medical science ever knew about the existence of thyroid glands, yogis had devised practices, which not only maintained healthy glands and metabolism, but also were part of a system of enlightenment.Sarvangasna (shoulder stand) is the most suitable and effective asana for the thyroid gland. An enormous pressure is placed on the gland by this powerful posture.As the thyroid has one of the largest blood supplies of any body organ, this pressure has dramatic effects on its function, improving circulation and squeezing out stagnant secretions. After sarvangasana, we should perform
matsyasana, and from sarvangasana we can practice halasana.All these practices positively result in better health of the thyroid gland. At the same time, all these practices should be avoided in severe thyroitoxicosis, physical debility or a goitre that is enlarged very much, where medical therapy is obviously the first line of treatment to be given.However, adding iodine once again to the diet is the first obvious step.Other effective asanas include Surya Namskara, Pavamuktasana with emphasis on the head and neck exercises, yoga mudra, Suptavajrasana and all backward bending asanas.
The most effective Pranayama for thyroid problems is Ujjayi. It acts on the throat area and its relaxing and stimulating effects are most probably due to stimulation of ancient reflex pathways within the throat area, which are controlled by the brainstem and hypothalamus.This practice also gives us direct access into the pranic and psychic net work, the substructure of metabolic activity. Nadi shodhana pranayama is useful in re-balancing metabolism.
AYURVEDIC REMEDY for THYROID 1:Mix AMLA(indian gooseberry) CHURNAM(paste) with Honey and eat it early in the morning before breakfast.
AYURVEDIC REMEDY for THYROID 2:Cow urine is an excellent remedy.Have a small quantity of freshly collected cow urine(should be a local breed cow) early in the morning.Drink it immediately.Repeat this for 30-45 days nonstop till you see improvement in your thyroid gland.
AYURVEDIC REMEDY for THYROID 3:A fine paste made of the vegetable jalakumbhi (Pistia
straticies) applied over the affected part helps in reducing the swelling. The juice obtained from the jalakumbhi should be given in doses of 11 to 22 gm a day. It increases the amount of iodine, the lack of which, according to Allopathy, is one of the factors responsible for the disease.Coconut oil offers much promise today to sufferers of hypothyroidism and slow metabolism.It is a known fact that the fatty acid chains in coconut oil, known as medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) or medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), offer wonderful health benefits and are no where found more abundantly in nature outside coconut oil. For the hypothyroid sufferer the MCTs rev up the body’s sluggish metabolism.
20-Insomnia – Ayurvedic and Yoga Treatment
Insomnia can be a rather unpleasant condition especially if it lasts for long periods of time. Find out what you can do to make sleepless nights a distant memory using ayurvedic treatment and yoga methods.Insomnia is more common than we think. Due to the stressful lives we all live many of us find that sometimes we are unable to fall asleep or that our sleep is continually interrupted for no apparent reason. The quality of our sleep also suffers and we might find that our functionality is slightly impaired after a sleepless night.Although we can suffer from insomnia at any age it seems that this symptom becomes more prevalent as we age. There are different types of insomnia depending on the severity of the symptoms. If symptoms last less than a week we suffer from transient insomnia,which is the least severe form of insomnia. If insomnia persists between one and three weeks it is classified as short-term insomnia.
Symptoms that last for more than three weeks are characteristic for long term insomnia.
Among the most common symptoms of insomnia are : – irritability,inability to concentrate, fatigue or diminished performance at school or at work.
Ayurveda does not dictate eight hours of sleep every night for everyone, but quality of sleep and quantity of sleep required by an individual to completely recharge in mind,body and soul are considered crucial for health, bliss and longevity.
(1) What is Insomnia?
1. Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which a person experiences poor sleep or has trouble sleeping. Insomnia can involve:
2. Difficulty falling asleep
3. Difficulty staying asleep (that is, waking up many times during the night), without necessarily having had any difficulty falling asleep
4. Waking up too early in the morning
5. Not feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep
6. In any of these cases the person feels tired the next day, or feels as if he or she did not have enough sleep.
(2)Ayurvedic Interpretation of Insomnia
Ayurveda generally views insomnia as a typical sign of nervous distress, usually associated with vata type emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, hypersensitivity, excess thought and worry, and may be precipitated by a
history of constipation, irregular digestion and eating habits, and systemic dryness.
Insomnia can be brought on by stress, excessive thinking, drugs or stimulants, excess travel, overwork or an irregular schedule and lack of routine. Essentially, it is a symptom of excessive movement.
Research has shown that people with insomnia are in a state of hyperarousal, with increased levels of cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This is hard on the mind and body and will weaken them over time, thus creating greater sensitivity and often increasing the intensity and frequency of insomnia.
(3) Dietary Treatments for Insomnia
A healthy diet can help in getting a good restful sleep at night. The following guidelines must be obeyed:-
1. For people who constantly suffer from insomnia problems, heavy foods must be avoided. If the person needs to have a heavy meal, then it must be taken at least three to four hours before retiring to bed. A walk after dinner helps to digest the food and bring good sleep at night.
2. A glass of milk before bedtime is good for sleep. Butter and ghee are also considered to be sleep-inducers.
3. As far as possible, spicy and oily foods must be avoided after dusk, especially if the person is prone to lose sleep at night.
(4) Ayurvedic Remedies for Insomnia
Here are some ayurvedic suggestions for falling asleep easily and naturally and for obtaining a more rejuvenating quality of sleep:
- Since human beings are diurnal creatures, following Nature’s pattern of sleep and wakefulness for us means rising with the sun or shortly before, and getting into bed early-no later than 9.45 p.m. Getting up before 6 a.m. is ideal, and 6-10 p.m. is the Kapha time of the evening, when sleep will come most easily. Follow this routine at the weekend as well.
- Arise and go to bed at about the same times each day. This helps your body and mind relax as the appointed bedtime approaches, and over time it conditions your physiology to fall asleep at that time.
- Ayurveda decrees morning the best time to exercise. If you exercise in the morning, it will help you fall asleep easier at night. Working out late in the day is not recommended as this will raise energy levels and set you up for activity rather than sleep. Exercise moderately, according to the needs of your constitution, every day.
- Do not eat a heavy dinner, and avoid spicy foods at night. Ayurveda recommends a light dinner eaten at least three hours before bed. A one-dish meal of a vegetable soup or mung bean kitcheree/kichdi is noursishing yet not too heavy. Do not drink too much water or other beverages after 6.30 p.m. Drink a cup of warm milk at bedtime to help lull you into sleep. Lace the milk with a large pinch of nutmeg for Vata, cardamom for Pitta and dried ginger for Kapha.
- A lower limb massage last thing before you get into bed is also a pleasant, relaxing activity and helps improve sleep quality. Use a light, non-staining oil such as sweet almond or jojoba. Your bedtime massage oil can be spiced up with a few drops of essential oil of lavender if you like-6-8 drops for 2 oz. of base oil. Take a very small quantity of the oil in your palm and massage your lower legs, from your knees
to your toes, and your lower arms, from your elbows to your fingertips, with easy up-and-down strokes.
In most general cases, medication is not necessary to treat insomnia. The Ayurvedic consultant would first ascertain the cause of the sleeplessness and then eliminate it. This is enough to bring sleep.
But if sleeplessness persists, then medicines made from brahmi, vacha, jatamansi and amalaki are prescribed. They are provided in powder form, either collectively or separately. Massaging the head with sesame oil is also beneficial in treating sleeplessness.
(5) Home Remedies for Insomnia
1. Take a glassful of celery juice and mix a teaspoonful of honey in it. Have this every night before going to bed. It will assure a restful sleep throughout the night.
2. Grind some fried cumin seed to a fine powder. Mix them with the pulp of a ripe banana. Eating this at night induces sleep.
3. Mix the juice of the leaves of the Indian sorrel with its oil in equal contents. This is to be stored in a bottle. Massage this oil into the scalp every night before going to bed. It will cool the brain down and help get good sleep.
4. For people suffering from chronic insomnia, there is a therapy known as shirodhara, which can be done at home. Boil about two liters of cows milk with 60 grams of amalaki/Amla (Emblica officinalis, Indian gooseberry) powder. The milk with curdle. Churn this curd by adding water and extract butter from it. Make the patient lie flat on the ground on a mat. Suspend the buttermilk from an earthen pot with a hole in its base, such that the buttermilk drips directly between the two eyebrows of the person on the ground. Continue this therapy for about twenty
minutes. Within a few days the insomnia will be totally cured.
5. The best way to treat insomnia is to seek a change in the lifestyle. Make your life simpler and avoid tensions and worries. This will not only provide good sleep, but it will also keep the body free from several other diseases and infections.

Hindus also believe that ghosts live on bael trees. Another belief associates its leaves to goddess Lakshmi.The unripe fruit is described as astringent and is used in combination with bela and other medicines in diarrhoea and dysentery. The ripe fruit is said to be useful in hiccup and affections of the throat. The leaves are aromatic and carminative.

insects, as is the powdered rind. Leaves, bark, roots and fruit pulp are all used against snakebite.
The seed oil is a purgative, and the leaf juice mixed with honey is a folk remedy for fever. The tannin-rich and alkaloid-rich bark decoction is a folk cure for malaria.

Ayurvedic cure for Melasma
Melasma, or brown spots, is a common skin condition in which the skin pigment melanin is unevenly distributed in the skin. Melasma can affect anyone, although women with brownish-skin complexions are at higher risk.
It can be caused due to excessive exposure to sunlight, lack of melanin or vitamin-D in skin, excessive or uneven usage of birth control pills, homone replacement therapy and also during pregnancy.Genetic predisposition is also a major factor in determining whether someone will develop
melasma.The incidence of melasma also increases in patients with thyroid disease. It is thought that the overproduction of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) brought on by stress can cause outbreaks of this condition. Other rare causes of melasma include allergic reaction to medications and cosmetics.By using natural methods below , you can reduce or completely cure Melasma in 7-9 months maximum.
Step 1
Gently massage the affected areas with aloe vera gel. Aloe vera contains a potent substance called mucilaginous polysaccharide (MPS), which softens and lightens brown spots and other discolorations. Apply the aloe vera gel to the affected areas and massage in circular motions for 15 minutes and leave on overnight. Aloe vera gel can be purchased at any health-food store near you.
Step 2
Rub an oatmeal-and-milk mixture to the affected areas every day. Oatmeal is a natural skin-exfoliating substance, which can lighten skin discolorations such as melasma. Mix one cup of uncooked oats and a 1/2 cup of milk and massage directly on the affected areas. Leave the oat-and-milk mixture on your skin for about 30 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Apply turmeric paste to the affected areas every day. Curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric spice, which has antioxidant and skin-lightening properties. Mix five-to-six tablespoons of turmeric powder to 10 tablespoons of milk. Add one tablespoon of gram flour to thicken the mixture so it’ll be easier to apply to the skin. Gently
massage the paste into the affected areas and leave on for about 30 minutes; rinse off and pat dry.
Step 4
Massage honey-and-almond paste to the affected skin every day. The proteins contained in honey and almonds have a skin-lightening effect on the skin. Add one cup of raw unsalted almonds into a blender with a 1/2 cup of honey. Blend the mixture until it turns into a paste. Gently rub the mixture onto the affected skin and leave on for about 30 minutes; rinse off and pat dry.
Step 5
Apply lemon juice on the affected skin every day. Lemons contain citric acid, which can naturally lighten hair and skin. Wash your hands and squeeze a fresh lemon on the affected areas; gently rub and leave on for 20 minutes. You can apply lemon juice prior to applying any of the remedies mentioned above.
Step 6
Take seeds of onion and make a paste of them with water and apply this paste on effected area and wash it after it dries.
Step 7
Extract juice from fresh tulasi leaves and mix camphor powder in it.Apply this thick juice on effected area and wash it after it dries.
Step 8
Take 2 spoons of Triphala Churnam and add it to 300 ml of water.
Let it soak overnight. Next morning boil this water till you get 100 ml of brown color water mixed with triphala churnam.Now filter the powder below and use this warm water to clean the effected area gently and later apply above pastes.Food to eat : 1.Take 1 spoon triphala churnam with honey every night before sleep and every morning on empty stomach.
2. Make juice of beetroot+carrrot+cucumber+honey and have 2 glasses (500 ml) before breakfast (atleast 1 hour after taking triphala churnam as said above)
Food to avoid : Tamarind, spicy and masala food, garlic, brinjal, green chillies, curd or yogurt, buffallow milk (should use only cow milk), liquour, sugarcane, eggs, fish, chicken.Also avoid exercise in heat, birth control pills and stay away from sexual activities till it is cured.

Alopecia Areata and its Ayurvedic cure
Baldness in men and women is caused by various reasons like excess heat in body mixed with phlegm, pollution, chemical based shampoos and hair colors, stress and strain, diseases like typhoid, metabolic changes in body during pregnancy, hereditary reasons etc.In earlier days baldness was mostly limited to men but recently it is becoming common in women too.
Hairloss starts usually with hairline on forehead reciding backwards but sometimes it can start with a patch at center of skull or at top.These patches are due to Alopecia Areata, which is caused by bacteria and fungus at those areas destroying roots of hair.
It usually happen in center of head and for few in any area of head and even on moustache and beard also. Excess heat in body caused by consuming heavy meat, excess spices, alchohol etc will reach to head through
blood and destroy hair roots.Immediately blood along with phlegm over there will close the pores, disabling any option for hair to regrow.This continues to spread if there are bacteria and fungus on the skin and make Alopecia Totalis, which makes entire hair on that area fall off and it will never grow back.
Alopecia Totalis is almost impossible to cure and the only way is surgical transplantation of hair if any hair is left on donor parts.Special Oil for curing Alopecia Areata
Take Triphala Churnam (300 gm), Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) leaves juice (300 gm), Black Gingelly seeds oil (300gm) and mix them up.Boil this mixture till all the water in juice is evaporated and only gingelly oil mixed with other products is left.This looks in dark green color.Now filter it after its cools down and store it in a bottle in a dark place.Apply this oil , every night in the area effected by alopecia areata and leave it overnight.In the morning wash off with Shikakai or Reetha powder
only. Don’t use chemical based shampoos.Following this method for 10 days and you will see hair growth restarting on that bald patch.Duration depends on age and health factors.
Tomato leaves and juice
Applying juice of tomato leaves on patch area daily with some force and consuming tomoato leaves juice (3 tea spoons) daily will help hair regrowth on bald patches.
Tobaco Technique
Get good quality tobacco and make a powder of it.Add coconut oil to it till tobacco powder is totally wet with oil.Cloe the lid of container tightly and let the tobacco powder sink in for 2 days.After 2 days, squeeze the tobacco well into the oil and then filter it.Use this oil daily at nights as described above for Tripahala Churnam + Bhringaraj combination and this will erase all bacteria, fungus, dandruff etc on skin causing baldness.

Swine Flu – Astrological reasons for its attack and Ayurvedic Prevention
It has now become the worst nightmare and even worser than HIV AIDS.Now it is a serious concern for the world and the UNO has also sounded a world-wide alert. The first death of a girl child in Pune suffering from the attack of the disease has unnerved the entire country and people are in real scare
Swine influenza is also known as swine flu, hog flu or H1N1 flu. The transmission of the virus from pigs to humans in not common but if it occurs it is called “zoonotic swine fluâ€. The main symptoms of the influenza are chills, fever,� sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.
The spread of the disease at this particular time can be explained by astrological methods. The main angle of discussion is through the Kaal Purusha as shown in the diagram below :
The Kaal Purusha is the manifestation of time, which has been shown in personified form with reference to Lord Vishnu. In the above picture we can see that the Cancer sign (Karka rashi) represents the chest and the heart region of the Kaal Purusha. Human disease connected with the chest areas may be cold and cough and other symptoms found in influenza. The relationship of these symptoms is with the process of breathing which is the main function of lungs.
Cancer rasi signifies lungs as shown in the picture. Therefore, breath related disease in human beings can be related to Cancer rasi. This rasi is under constant affliction due to the transit of Ketu into this rashi from 30 th April 2008. This affliction was enhanced manifolds due to the
Total Solar Eclipse of Sun by Ketu in this rashi on 22 nd July 2009.
The lord of Cancer rasi is Moon. Its element is water, which is the most important constituent of body fluids. The Moon rules over rainy season. According to Ayurveda, Kapha is one of the Tridoshas, which is produced by the combination of water and earth. Kapha increases anabolism and moon represents Kapha element. Cough and Cold are main symptom of swine flu.
The first case of swine flu in 2009 was reported on 2 nd May in Canada and it spread to many countries thereafter. Its intensity has increased rapidly in the season ruled by Moon (rainy season). The second enhancement in the intensity was after the Total Solar Eclipse due to conjunction of Sun and Ketu in Cancer rashi on 22 nd July 2009. In India this disease has acquired appreciable proportions after the solar eclipse.
Ketu means foreign land and foreigners as per Vedic astrology. Before the solar eclipse, swine flu was not a threat in India but, it was already a threat in Mexico and other countries. The disease has come into India from outside the country through human carriers. Swine flu has still not acquired serious proportions in India but “prevention is better than cureâ€. India’s rashi as per �Independence Day horoscope is Cancer (Karka) and swine flu is connected with this rashi.
Ketu in medical astrology is a nightmare for doctors. Ketu, not only makes diagnosis of disease very difficult, it also keeps on testing doctors with new diseases. One who masters Ketu will master the art of healing and diagnosis.
As per the transit of planets, swine flu will continue to remain a menace till Ketu remains in the Cancer rashi.
Ketu will transit out of Cancer on 18 th November 2009. It is expected that swine flu will be restrained after this date.
India was already suffering from floods and droughts due to the Medini effect of Total Solar Eclipse. This disease has slowly entered into the country as the third Medini effect. It must not be allowed to take an epidemic form for which total medical screening of passengers coming from abroad is absolutely necessary. In addition, person to person transmission within the country has to be prevented.

2) Use turmeric in cooking since it is antibacterial and antiviral and also use pinch of turmeric in your bath which works against allergies caused by virus.
3) Holy Tulasi is proven natural remedy for all respiratory problems.In fact Tulasi is said to be best remedy for Swine flu! So chew fresh tulasi leaves or its extract at least once a day.Drop some leaves in to your drinking water which makes you purified as the secret in sacred temple visit is enriched with Tulasi Theerdham as holy water with blessings of GOD!
4)Use of Dettol which was proven antiseptic/antiviral effect while cleaning your hands as well your surrounding including your house holds and floor cleaning.
5) Use disposable masks while you are out and throw it away when you come in to house.while reusable masks will not serve the purpose,it brings home the virus!

Kidney Stones – their curing methods in Ayurveda
Why are they formed ?
Excess Phlegm trying to leave body through urine gets stuck in kidneys and forms into stones. Drinking dirty water, floride mixed water, consuming vegetables and grains cultivated using chemicals, excess intake of medicines, stopping body excretions with pressure and also thyroid dysfunction forms kidney stones.
Symptoms
As stones are being formed, you can feel pain below stomach and feel stomach bulging. While urinating it hurts and urine has foul smell.Sometimes it just comes out as drops only and if stone interrupts urine flow, stones creates friction with kidney walls and blood also may comeout with urine.
How to test kidney stone formation
Early in morning after you wakeup, collect first urine in a glass bottle and observe it closely.If its clean without excess foam, foul smell and without any traces of black/brown material then your kidneys are safe.Else if urine is in dark yellow color with, mixture of some black/brown/red material and if it has lot of foul smell then there is a problem.
How to Clean Kidneys
In a cup of clean water, add a spoon of tea powder and boil water till half of it evaporates.Filter the tea powder at bottom and in the remaining water add half cup of water and consume it on empty stomach early in the morning after above urine test.After this atleast for 1 hour do not consume any food or liquid including water.
In evening consume a small cup raddish juice with a spoon of honey mixed in it.Take this 1-2 hours before dinner.
You need to continue this treatment for atleast 15 days and test your urine in above method again on 16th day to find it clean.
** Repeating this method for 15 days per year throughout lifetime will always keep our kidneys clean, no matter you have stones in it or not.For those who don’t have stones this method is a preventive measure.
Types of Kidney stones and immediate relief methods

Ekadasi (11th day of Lunar Cycle) Fasting for better living
Hindus are used to fasting on Ekadasi tithi (11th day of lunar cycle) to please lord Vishnu.Even in puranas we find many stories relating to the importance of fasting on this particular day only.This day comes when waning or waxing moon is in its 11th day of its 15 days cycle.Why did sages and our ancestors insist fasting only on this day? Why not on any other day like 7th or 8th ?
Astrologically moon revolves around earth at the rate of 12 degrees per every 24 hours.This period of 12 degree travel is called a tithi.
Moon when 180degrees away from Sun forms Fullmoon day and when conjoint with Sun forms Newmoon day.During these 2 cycles we have already seen many instances where newmoon and fullmoon shows its impact and magnetic power of sea tides and human minds.
Because human body is 80% water, its always under the influence of moon.It is also stated in Garuda Puranam that all 7 oceans are in human body itself.That is the reason behind moon being treated as mind controller in astrology.
Russian Scientist V.Yalinko did some research on this aspect and expressed his opinion :
” …. After collecting statistics on planes, I saw that the moments at which they had disappeared as distinct from ships, these are established with a precision of one – had something regularly about them.Related to astrolomical phenomena or more precisely to the position in regard to each other of the Earth the Moon and the Sun.It is known that the Sun and the Moon do not always exert the same influence on the Earth … “ (Dt. 9-1-1977)
On 11th day of each cycle moon forms trine with earth or sun.From this day moon’s influence on liquids in our body and mind starts rising.As long as important organs such as brain, digestive
system function properly our body will never get any disease.All diseases start with indigestion.But from this 11th day our body gets into the magnetic pull of moon heavily and our digestive system doesnt secrete proper fluids that will help us digest our food.From this 11th day till 5th day after newmoon or fullmoon day, moon will influence us maximum and imbalance our digestive system.This will also cause decrease in brain’s functioning and cause weakness in memory, thought and decision making.
So, to avoid all these complications , its important to clean our digestive system on every 11th day of lunar cycle.This helps our digestive system to clean up all the food and mess in our body till 10th day and adjust itself for the next 10 days of lunar influence.On this day fasting should start with having only water(mixed with a pinch of salt and lime juice if possible).Adding 1 spoon of salt + 1/2 slice lime juice in 2 litres of water and consuming only that throughout the day will flush out remainings in intestines and also prepare stomach area for next 10 days of stress.Its important to clean stomach and intestines before fasting to make sure leftovers don’t cause any complication.
To divert mind from feelings like hunger, fatigue etc meditation is recommended on this day.
Herbal Health Products in market – made of poisonous chemicals !
Health products made of chemicals are better than products made of so-called herbal materials.
Manufacturers claim that their shampoo, hair oil etc are purely herbal but lets see the reality.
Products that claim to be made from extracts of Amla and Alovera are not completely made with them only.Chemicals are mixed to make them look like they are meant to be.Turmeric, Sandalwood soaps are never made with that material. Chemicals are used to get the scent and color.Lipsticks are mostl made with koltar, which causes allergic reactions and peeling of delicate skin layer on lips.Anti-ageing creams use formaldihide and propyl paratyne which are cancer causing harmful chemicals.Liquid tilak used on forehead is mixed with lead, zinc and industrial dice.
Usually, materials used in manufacturing a product should be mentioned on the pack, but many companies dont want to display this information as they think that their competitors would steal their formula.According to cosmetics act , on products that are having a pack of 60ml or less or 30gms or less, their is no need to mention all products used for manufacturing.The reason for this is that there won’t be enough space on packs to display all information.Companies use this reason to their advantage and never display all chemicals used and cheat customers.
Usually people buy herbal products believing that they are totally harmless, but companies take advantage of this blind faith.For example, a fairness cream manufacturing popular brand uses chemical bleach in their cream but never displays its name on pack.
So, before you buy a product from a so-called trusted brand , make sure you get to know everything about it and save yourself.
