Ayurvedic substitutes for conventional treatments

The roots of Ayurveda can be found in the Vedic scriptures known as “Atharvaveda”. The Vedas are some of the oldest scriptures on Earth, with the original texts dating back to 1500 BCE.   The original texts are still available and highly respected worldwide.

Atharvaveda deals with a variety of medical treatments for treating the sick and unhealthy. Therapies used in the treatments are Yoga, Meditation, Aroma, Herbs, Diet, Astrology, Gems and Stones, Amulets, Massage and Surgery.

Traditional Indian beliefs give further insight into the Vedas. It is said that the Indian deity Vishnu was reincarnated on Earth as Saint Veda Vyasa and wrote all the Vedas. His students Charak, Sushruta and Vagbhata wrote about their research on the Vedas and classified the medical practices described in Atharvaveda as Surgical, Medical and Holistic.

This research was originally written in “Sanskrit” but has been translated into English and modern Indian languages. Recent studies shed more light on this ancient study of medicine. Atharvaveda has been classified into the following eight forms of medical treatments:

• Kaya Chikitsa governs internal diseases and infections
• Shalakya Tantra involves body parts above the neck
• Shalya Tantra deals with surgery
• Agada Tantra offers treatment for poisons (both endogenous and exogenous)
• Bhuta Vidya relates to psychology
• Kumar Bhartiya oversees pediatrics
• Rasayana is the science of rejuvenation and youthfulness
• Vajikarna addresses the science of fertility

Charaka Samhita: Charaka Samhita was written by Charaka during the reign of the Indian deity Krishna (another reincarnation of Vishnu). Charaka had a holistic approach.  His belief that the body and soul have a deep connection was clearly seen in his holistic treatment of all disorders. Charaka Samhita was written in Sanskrit and has 8400 verses.

Sushrut Samhita: Sushruta was a student of Charaka who broadened the horizon of Ayurvedic knowledge by expanding on the original texts. Sushruta Samhita deals with the surgical way of medical treatment. Believe it or not, Sushruta performed plastic surgery, fracture treatments, cosmetic surgery, prosthetic surgery, and transplanted organs – all in the 6th BC! No wonder today he is called the “Father of Surgery”. He believed that surgery and medicine together constitute a true way of treating disease. Sushruta explained 72 different surgical treatments and used over 125 instruments to perform these surgeries.

Ashtanga Hridaya: Vagbhata studied human psychology and wrote Ashtanga Hridaya in the 6^th Century BC. He emphasized the psychological aspect of disease by expounding on the work of Charaka Sushrut and Samhita Sushrut. His approach was more holistic than spiritual and he believed that 85% of all disease could be cured without the intervention of doctors.

Though Ayurveda originated from the Hindu religion, it has propagated across the globe and is serving humanity in a variety of ways. Ayurveda preaches service to the sick as the only way for medical practitioners, healers and doctors to achieve happiness.

 

Ayurvedic ways of living a Healthy Life: Balancing your Doshas

Ayurveda is one of the most ancient systems of medicine used for healing and treating illness. However Ayurveda has many facets other than purely medicinal. The more you explore, the deeper you go, the more enlightening is the knowledge that shows you different ways, all of which lead you toward a blissful life.

Ayurveda defines “body” in the form of three “Doshas”. The human body is made up of three Doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It is important to keep these Doshas balanced within the body to live a healthy and peaceful life. Vata is derived from Air and hence regulates bodily functions such as respiration, blood circulation, mental activity and physical movements. People with imbalanced Vata may suffer from physical and mental illness. Balancing Vata is a difficult task but it’s not impossible. Performing specific Yoga Asanas and Meditation with a combination of a balanced diet would yield magical results. Pranayam helps regulate the respiratory activities and cleans the respiratory pipe, increasing the oxygen level in the blood. Also it helps stimulate the nervous system. Sun Salutation & Meditation can be accompanied with Pranayam to stimulate the physical and mental activities. It is important to follow a balanced diet while practicing Yoga. People with predominant Vata should include foods that provide instant energy and warmth to the body. Ginger, cardamon, cinnamon, almonds, pumpkin, lemon, carrots, asparagus, bananas, mangoes all help warm the body and enhance circulation. Drinking warm water and herbal teas helps decrease the chances of dehydration and prevents hunger pangs.

Pitta derived from Fire and Water is the major source of energy for the human body. A Pitta imbalance is commonly found in Humans during the Summer Season when the solar power drives the Pitta. Excessive heat generation in the body, peptic ulcers, hot flashes, acid reflux, and inflammation are all physical problems one may suffer from Pitta imbalance. At the same time, one can suffer from mental problems such as aggressive behavior, anger, impatience, anxiety, and frustration. To balance Pitta, one should practice a daily routine with clearly defined hours of sleeping, eating, working and other regular activities. Gentle Yoga Asnas with a blend of Pranayam and Meditation will keep the body calm and cool. Diet should include watery fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and coconut. Avoid oily and spicy food in summer season and drink plenty of water. Water helps to keep the fiery Pitta calm and cool by hydrating the body. Wear light colors and cotton clothes to help control perspiration in the scorching heat of summer.

Kapha is made up of Water and Earth and is present in liquid form in the body. All the fluids and cellular activities are driven by Kapha. Kapha regulates the immune system in the body. It lubricates the joints and skin and is responsible for cellular growth. Kapha imbalance leads to problems like excessive body weight, lethargy, emotional weakness and depression, fatigue, and poor immunity. To balance Kapha, rigorous exercise is recommended with Meditation and Yoga to activate sweat glands and stay motivated. To improve body fluid circulation, drink herbal tea containing ginger, cinnamon, and clove essence, which help eliminate excessive mucous from the system. Avoid cold, sticky food like ice cream and cheese. Instead, opt for warm and stimulating foods.

Once you balance all the three Doshas, you will find yourself more confident, independent and you will get a different perspective to live your life. A life you yourself will fall in love with!

What Everybody Ought to Know About Supercritical Co2 Extraction

First of all, what the heck is supercritical or Co2 extraction? What makes it great? Why does Tattva’s Herbs make such a big deal about it? What does PSE mean that is listed in their ingredients? How does this stuff benefit Ayurvedic Herbs?

Friends, we know this can all seem very confusing, but we will do our best to explain our unique extraction process and the reasons it makes our products unique. We have put many years of research into different extraction technologies, how they effect the efficacy of the herbs, and how these different processes effect the way our bodies interact with the final products. We can tell you that with confidence, the type of extraction(s) technologies that we practice provide you the cleanest and most expansive picture of our herbs that we know to be possible today.

What is supercritical or sometimes referred to as Co2 extraction?

This is a pretty good definition of the supercritical extraction process from Eden Botanicals.

The CO2 extraction process consists of pumping pressurized carbon dioxide into a chamber filled with plant matter. When carbon dioxide is subjected to pressure it becomes “supercritical” and has liquid properties while remaining in a gaseous state. Because of the liquid properties of the gas, the CO2 functions as a solvent, pulling the oils and other substances such as pigment and resin from the plant matter. Thus, the difference between CO2, or supercritical, extraction and traditional distillation is that CO2 is used as a solvent instead of heated water or steam. The temperature involved in the supercritical extraction process is around 95 to 100 degrees F as opposed to 140 to 212 degrees F in steam distillation.

What makes Co2 extraction great?

There are many benefits to using this type of extraction technology, and it can all be a bit confusing. Here is our attempt to break it down to simple terms. Here is a bulleted list of the top benefits (in our eyes) of using this extraction method:

• Superior in terms of both freshness and breadth of active constituents left in the herbs
  
• Full spectrum or more active constituents of the plant are realized with a potency that cannot be surpassed
• Extracts are pure and clean – free of solvent residues
• Mild operating temperature ensures product stability and quality
• The only type of extraction that unlocks the fat soluable components of the plant

What does PSE mean that is listed in your ingredients?

PSE (Post Supercritical Extract) simply refers to the water soluable extract that is performed after (in addition to) the Co2 extract. That’s right, we perform not one, but TWO different extracts in our products because using different materials, extracts different components of the plant. The Co2 extraction delivers the fat soluable plant “goodies”, while the PSE or water extract, delivers the water soluable components of the plant. In addition to the two different types of extraction, Tattva’s Herbs one-of-a-kind technology combines the two extractions with some of the “raw” unextracted plant material. In every capsule you take from Tattva’s Herbs there are essentially three different components. The final piece “raw herb” is very important as it acts as a “chemical messenger” in your body. In simplified terms, the raw plant or herb component informs your body how to use these extracts. This is a vital in ensuring your body can realize the full potential and benefits of these herbs.

As you can see, this subject can appear very scientific and complex, but hopefully this article helps clarify some of the basic questions you may have had about how Tattva’s Herbs processes their products, and the reasons they are truly of the finest quality available today.

Is Ayurveda For You?

Ayurveda – “The Science of Life” or Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems. It began in India many thousands of years ago.

The basis of Ayurveda is the idea that health and wellness is dependent on a delicate balance of the mind, body, and spirit. The primary idea of Ayurvedic medicine is to promote good health preventatively, rather than battle illness after it arrives.

It is a simple concept that includes many intricate beliefs and practices.

If you are considering making Ayurveda a part of your life, we recommend a few great books:

Maintaining Healthy Blood Sugar Levels with Ayurveda

Guest post written by Mike Gerard 

Diabetes is widely referred to as the “silent killer,” in much the same way that people label high blood pressure. This is due to the fact that many individuals are unaware that they are diabetic. Typically, people treat diabetes with a variety of methods. Insulin, diabetes pills and exercise combined with meal plans, are all ways in which you can treat diabetes. Unfortunately, some of these medications can cause side effects, and the body is capable of rejecting these medications as well. Some people turn to alternative methods to treat diabetes, however. One of these methods is called Ayurvedic treatment.

Ayurvedic treatments focus on a holistic or whole-body approach to treatment. Ayurveda was developed in India many thousands of years ago. It operates off of the principle that the key to treating different ailments is to achieve a balance between the body, spirit and mind. Those who choose Ayurvedic treatments place value on using a natural approach. The goal is to allow the mind, body and spirit to achieve a sense of harmony through a balanced treatment plan of eating correctly, resting, practicing relaxation techniques like yoga, and much more.

It is important to remember that Ayurveda operates off of the fact that the human body is made up of 5 main elements: fire, air, water, earth and space. Additionally, these elements serve to form three energies which are called the vata dosha, pitta dosha and kapha dosha. When you consider that these 3 energies are responsible for body circulation, digestion and the foods that you eat, then you can begin to understand why more people are taking an Ayurvedic approach to the treatment of diabetes. While many traditional methods and medications appear to be the best treatments, there are people who still swear by the benefits that Ayurveda produces.

Natural remedies associated with Ayurveda include limiting foods which are high in sugar, and eating whole-grain food as well. In addition to these, limiting the consumption of alcohol and foods which are high in fat content are cornerstones to this approach. It is also important to spread out your meals throughout the day. Breaking up larger meals into smaller ones allows your body to increase its metabolic rate as well. Another remedy for diabetes includes the mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric Powder, 1 teaspoon of Amla Powder and 1/2 tablespoon of Methi Seeds Powder in water. This is supposed to be taken once daily, and on an empty stomach.

The Ayurvedic approach to the treatment of diabetes should not begin without careful consideration of your individual condition. All diabetics exhibit different symptoms at different times, so it is very important to consult your doctor before you begin a new treatment. Many people find that using Ayurveda gives them a healthy alternative to synthetic drugs. Take the time to review the results of others, and then you can determine if the Ayurvedic approach to diabetes treatment is right for you.

Some studies revealed that Gymnema Sylvestre (also called gumar) lower serum glucose levels, being effective in the management of blood sugar levels in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This herb decrease the amounts of sugar that is absorbed from various foods. Also, it works positively on pancreas, prompting it to develop more beta cells, the natural source of insulin. Gymnema Sylvestre should be used as a support to standard diabetes treatment. The dosage of  Gymnema ususally consist of 400 to 600 mg daily of an extract standardized.

Triphala powder, an Ayurvedic herb that consist in Amalaki, Haritaki and Bibhitaki may be an useful solution to diabetes. It is recommended to read all about these herbs before taking it.

Timing of Administration of Herbs

From: Ayurvedic Herbology East and West, A Practical Guide to Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine, written by: Vishnu Dass

In Ayurvedic herbology, the timing of administration of a medicine is another important factor to consider, as it may enhance its effects. Herbs that are taken before meals work more on the colon, kidneys, and reproductive organs, and play a key role in supporting the functions of apana vayu, the downward moving aspect of vata that governs elimination of waste products and menstruation. Herbs with mild laxative, diuretic, and emmenagogue properties also act on the lower half of the body, and can be taken before food to strengthen their action.

Herbs taken along with food act directly upon the stomach, spleen, liver, and small intestine. They support samana vayu, the aspect of vata governing digestive functions, as well as jathara agni and pachaka pitta, the main fires of digestion in the stomach and small intestine. Herbs acting on the middle part of the body are carminatives, stimulants, bitters, and nutritive tonics. Herbs taken after meals work on the upper portion of the body and directly affect prana, udana, and vyana vayus, giving them a stronger action on the lungs, heart, brain, and nervous system. Below is a list of times of administration and therapeutic effect they enhance.

Anannkala: Empty Stomach

Herbs taken first thing in the morning, then allowing as much time as possible (1-3 hours) before taking food, help to increase agni and burn ama and plegm. This is a good time to enhance various properties such as lekaniya (scraping of fat). This is the ideal time to give purgatives, emetics, or rasayanas (rejuvenating substances).

Pragbhukta: Before Meals

Herbs taken at this time are carried quickly to the pelvic region and have the greatest effect on the folon and apana vayu. This is one of the best times for treating chronic indigestion, gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and constipation, as well as disorders of the reproductive organs and urinary tract.

Madhyabhukta: During Meals

Herbs taken along with food act on samana vayu, the aspects of vata governing digestive functions in the area of the duodenum and small intestine. This is helpful for kindling the agni, improving peristalisis, absorption, and assimilation. It is also an easier way of taking herbs for those who have difficulty swallowing them or tolerating their taste.

Abhobhukta: Right After Meals

Herbs taken just after food work on the upper portion of the body and directly affect prana vayu, the aspect of vata governing respiration and the nervous system. They also help to restore the function of udana, the vayu responsible for speech, effort, energy, willpower, and memory, as well as that of vyana vayu, which is centered in the heart, moves throughout the body, and governs circulation. Digestive herbs can also be take at this time to treat slow sluggish digestion and help to strengthen and regulate the thyroid gland. People that are sensitive to herbs sometimes prefer to take herbs after meals. This seems to be a convenient time for people to remember to take their herbs, but proper timing should be encouraged whenever possible.

Antarabhukta: Between Meals

The seven bodily tissues receive their nourishment during this time (3 to 4 hours after a meal). Herbs taken at this time travel along with ahara rasa (nutrient precursors) to each of the dhatus, increasing metabolic activity.

Muhur Muhur: Frequent Administration

This can be as frequent as moment to moment or every few minutes. This method helps to send a constant reminder to the body. It is used for acute disorders of prana vayu like hiccup, burping, asthma, cough, and other respiratory disorders. Good examples of this are sipping on teas every 5-10 minutes, or licking certain pastes made from herbs and substances like honey to relieve acute symptoms. Another example is the use of spice blends for digestion (digestive churnas), which can be sprinkled on food and ingested every few minutes with each bite.

Swapnakala: Before Bedtime

Herbs given at bedtime or one hour before sleep help to redirect the movement of vata (vata anuloman). This is a good time to give laxatives or purgatives, and is also an ideal time for treating insomnia and other sleep disorders. Herbs taken at midnight can help with nightmares and disorders of maija dhatu (nerve tissues and marrow).

Sandhyakale: At Sunrise and Sunset

Herbs taken during this time act directly on the joints. Mild laxatives can also be taken at sunrise. Herbs that raise the consciousness, such as brahmi and vacha, can be taken in the early morning to promote good meditation.

The Manifestation of Consciousness into Plants

An excerpt from “The Yoga of Herbs” An Ayurvedic Guide to Herbal Medicine written by Dr. David Frawley and Dr. Vasant Lad

Evolution is a manifestation of latent potentials. Within each thing is contained all things. In the seed is the tree; in the tree is the forest. Therefore, intelligence is contained implicitly in the many worlds of nature, not only in our human-centered world. Another way of saying this is that consciousness exists in all forms of life. It is the very basis of creation, the power of evolution. Life, creation, and evolution are the stages in the unfoldment of consciousness. There is nothing in existence that is unfeeling, nothing that is profane or unspiritual, nothing without a unique value in the cosmos. Life is relational, interdependent, interconnective, a system of mutual nourishment and care, not only physically, but also psychologically and spiritually.

Consciousness, therefore, is not merely a though, much less intellect or reason. It is the feeling of being alive and being related to all life. Consciousness as pure feeling exists already in the plant and is hidden in rock, even within atom itself. Elemental attraction and repulsion are similar to love and hate, like and dislike. For this reason, the ancient seers of India held that the Self alone exists, that unity is the basis of all existence – that the unity of life is the unity of consciousness.

By this they meant that every living thing was sentient, that everthing was, in the sense of consciousness, human. True humanity, which is humane feeling for all life, is at the heart of all life. Plants and animals sometimes show this sense of caring more than certain humans, who have hardened in their isolated sense of humanity. It is only when we come to look upon all things as human that we are capable of a truly human existence. Such a lesson is taught to us by plants and herbs whose existence is still grounded in the unity of nature, through which we may return to understand ourselves better.

Man as microcosm contains within himself all the elemental, mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms. Within the plant is the potential of the human being. Conversely, within the human being is the underlying energy structure of the plant. Our nervouse system, it could be said, is a tree whose plant-essence is human. Therefore, plants may communicate directly to that essense of feeling which makes a true human being.

The Plant Kingdom existsto bring feeling into manifestation. On the plant level, feeling exists in a pure and passive form. The animal and human kingdoms manifest this more actively, more separately, but often with less beauty. Consciousness in plants is on a primal level of unity, therefore it is more psychic, telepathic.

Life forms are stations for the reception and transmission of foreces, through which all are nourished. Each thing exists to nourish all others, and, in return, to be nourished itself. In this manner each kingdom of nature serves to receive and transmit life. This life is implicit in light and in the transmission of stellar or astral forces.

The earth, like a gigantic receptor or radio-station, inhales and exhales stellar and cosmic forces, the absorbed essence of which grows and unfolds as life. These forces are not all material, but include subtle energies of an occult or spriritual nature. Plants transmit the vital-emotional impulses, the life-force that is hidden in light. That is the gift, the grace, the power of plants.

Plants bring us the love, the nourishing power of the sun, which is the same energy of all the stars, of all light. These cosmic energies emanated by plants thus nourish, sustain and make grow our own astral body. In this way the existence of plants is a great offering, a sacrifice. They offer us not only their own nutritive value but the very light and love from the stars, from the cosmos whose messengers they are. They bring to us the universal light so that we can enter the universal life. They exist for psychological, as well as physical nourishment. Our feelings, then, are our own inner plants, our own inner flowers. They grow in accordance with our perception of athe nature of all life.

Creation is light. In the Vedas, the ancient scriptures of India, the great god Agni, the principle of Fire, the Divine Seer- Will, builds up the worlds, and makes  of all creation a series of self – transformations.

Plants exist to transmute light into life. Human beings exist to transmute life into consciousnesness, love. Thes three – light, life and love – are one, each an expression of the other, three dimensions of the same existence. Plants transmute light into life through photosynthesis. The human being tansmutes life into consciousness through perception. Through direct perception, the seer is the seen, the observer the observed.
