scholars of Ayurveda <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have written
commentaries to explain the Ayurvedic system of medicine. It is not possible to
give a short description of this vast subject and do justice with it. The
origin of Ayurveda has been explained by Caraka in these lines – “ There is no
beginning to Ayurveda in Indian medical tradition. There is beginning only to
its systematization” CS. 1/30/27. Vedas which are thousands of years old record
various diseases and their treatment. This vedic medicine can be considered as
the beginning of Indian medical tradition. It can be safely surmised that
Ayurveda gradually evolved from this ancient source of medical knowledge.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ayurveda is a holistic method of treatment which
tends to treat the whole person rather than just the disease i.e., the
treatment modalities are adopted after a thorough analysis of temperament,
nutritional status, causes of diaease etc, where as the modern medicine
concentrates on the elimination of disease following the “Gern Theory”. The
whole of Ayurvedic system is based on the concept of three Dosas and these can
be recognized by their attributes. There are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. From air
and space comes vata, from fire and an aspect of water comes pitta and from
water and earth comes kapha. A perfect harmony and balance in these three dosas
maintains good health and when this balance is disturbed a person suffers from
various diseases. Virilification therapy or Vajikarana is an important section
of Ayurvedic medicine which has been dealt with in detail by the great
physicians like Caraka and Sushruta.</span></div>

<span style="color: maroon; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">The Marmas (vital points) are a
very important part of Ayurvedic anatomy and surgery. A Marma point is defined
as an anatomical site where flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones and joints
meet up. There are 107 Marma points throughout the body. Each point has it’s own
intelligence and consciousness, which co-ordinate with the mind and body. This
ancient form of treatment dating back to between 1500 — 1200 BC involves using
the fingers to stimulate the Marma points thereby promoting physical and mental
rehabilitation. As with Acupuncture, these points correspond to internal organs
and systems of the body which react to manual stimulation.</span>

Marma</b></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span lang="EN">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Marma are certain vital areas of
the body. The word <strong>marma</strong> comes from Sanskrit origin <em>mru</em>
or <em>marr</em>. The Sanskrit phrase, <em>Marayate Iti Marmani</em>, means
there is likelihood of death or serious damage to health after infliction to
these places and hence these areas are called marma.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Marma is also thought to be a
Sanskrit word meaning hidden or secret. By definition, a marma point is a
juncture on the body where two or more types of tissue meet, such as muscles,
veins, ligaments, bones or joints.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What
are Marma Points?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span lang="EN">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">There are total 107 Marma in the
body. In Tamil traditions they are 108 Marma points, and in Kalari tradition
there are 365 Marma points. The points were mapped out in detail centuries ago
in the Sushruta Samhita, a classic Ayurvedic text. Major marma points correspond
to the seven chakras, or energy centers of the body, while minor points radiate
out along the torso and limbs. The points cover both the front and back body,
including 22 on the lower extremities, 22 on the arms, 12 on the chest and
stomach, 14 on the back, and 37 on the head and neck. (The mind is considered
the 108th marma.) Each has its onw Sanskrit name given by Sushruta, one of the
founding fathers of Ayurvedic medicin</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The human body, like a machine
needs servicing in order to function normally. The Hindu healthcare system uses
Marma massage as a routine part of their preventative medicine. A professional
therapist isolates the Marma points and cleans them out by increasing the blood

Rasayana Tantra is one of the eight major divisions of Astang Ayurveda<br />
In Ayurveda, one of the major methods of presentation of positive health has been described i.e. Rasayana<br />
Sushruta has defined a healthy man as one who has:-<br />
• Equilibrium of the Doshas Sama dosha.<br />
• Normal functioning of Agni Sama Agni<br />
• Normal condition of 7 Dhatus Sam Dhatu<br />
• Normal Excretion of waste products Sam Malkriya.<br />
Beside this Atma (Soul), the Indriyas or sense organs and Mana or mind should be happy and cheerful Prasanatamendriya Mana (Su.Su.15/15). The current modern definition of health is also same “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely absence of disease. (W.H.O.)<br />
Healthy state of mind and body can be achieved by Rasayana Therapy or Rejuvenation Therapy<br />
Rasayana Stands as an answer to solve the problem of healthful longevity including mental development and resistance against disease. That is why; Rasayanatherapy has been included as one of the eight major divisions of Ashtang Ayurveda. Rasayana Chikitsa or rejuvenation therapy helps to promote and preserve health and longevity in the healthy, and to Cure disease in sick. We all want to look forever young and increase our life span by staying healthy, Rasayans or vitalizers, as they are called, do exactly the same. They replenish the vital fluids of our body, thus keeping us away from diseases. Rasayana refers to the nutrition and its transportation in the body. Such a state of improved nutrition is claimed to lead to a series of secondary attributes like longevity, immunity against diseases, mental competence and delaying of aging.<br />
Rasayana is actually that which increases the essence of each Dhatu, starting from Rasa. Taking Rasayana is helpful to increase the immunity of person to keep him away from diseases. The person become healthy and strong .Literally the term Rasayana refers to the means of obtaining the optimum nourishment to the Dhatu.<br />
Meaning of Rasayana<br />
The word Rasayana is composed of two words Ras + Ayan. The means by which one gets the excellence of Rasa (The nourishing fluid which is produced immediately after digestion) is known as Rasayana. Apart from the excellence of Rasa, the individual is endowed with Psychic excellence like sharp memory, by virtue of rejuvenation therapy. The term Rasayana connotes a specific meaning. Drugs, diet and regimens which promote longevity by delaying aging and preventing diseases are called Rasayana. The term Rasa has different connotation. In the present context, it means the body fluid which is responsible for nourishment of entire physique. Impairment of circulation of this body fluid results in diseases and decay. This body fluid of good quality should not only be present in adequate quantity, but also it should be able to permeate (circulate) throughout the various cells of the body to provide the type of nourishment they need.<br />
Rasayana is a specialized type of treatment influencing the fundamental aspect of body viz. Dhatus, Agni and Srotansi and ojus etc. Rasayana Chikitsa boosts theojus and immune system. The adjective Ojaswiis used to describe those people who keep good health in all seasons and all stages of life. It is like obtaining a high rank in a physical or mental fitness. Ojus gives a bright look, sharp memory, high performance and every expected pleasure.<br />
Historic Consideration of Rasayana<br />
Rasayana therapy is as old as the Vedas because many references on Rasayana therapy are available in the Atharva Veda (atharvaveda 8/7/4). Extensive descriptions of divine Rasayana agents like Soma are available in classics. References about Achara Rasayna and Sadvrita are also available in the vedic texts similar to Charakadescription (Rig-Veda 5/1/7 and Atharvaveda 16/2/2)<br />
Besides extensive references is available regarding the superiority of certain other common Rasayana drugs like Pippali, Jivanti and Punarnava etc. Similarly a concept of Ajasrika Rasayana also appears in vedic literature.<br />
Vedas have seriously considered the problems of aging and its delaying. It has been the cherished wish of human race to achieve long life and to live at least 100 years in perfect health. “Jivema Sharadah Shatam” (Rigveda 10/39/8).<br />
Probably all these ideas at a later stage necessitated the development of a full-fledged clinical discipline like Rasayana therapy to deal with the problem of aging, its delaying.<br />
Rasayana Chikitsa in Samhita<br />
Charak Samhita<br />
Charak Samhita which is considered the earliest text of this period appears to have given extensive consideration on the subject. Charak in its section on Chikitsa starts with an exhaustive chapter on Rasayana therapy dealing with the physiological, pharmacological, therapeutic and clinical aspects of the Rasayana. Charaka appears to have correlated this with the fundamental principles of Ayurveda as related to the concept of Ras Samvahan, the concept of Dhatu, the Agni, the Srotansi, the Doshas and the Dosha Prakriti. Charaka has advocated Special the outdoor and indoor regimen and he has introduced a large number of Rasayana Drugs both the single and compounds, herbs and minerals (Ch.Chi 1/1/16). The knowledge appears to have been so much developed that Rasayana Therapy has to be designated as one of the eight major branches of Ayurveda. In the beginning of ChikitsaSthan Chapters on Rejuvenation therapy and Aphrodisiacs are explained. In beginning of Rasayanatherapy term Bheshja and its Synonyms are explained (Ch.Chi.1/1/3.)<br />
Bheshaja (Medicines) are divided into 2 types:<br />
1. Some of them tone up the health of healthy person i.e. “Swasthasyaurjaskara (Ch.Chi.1/1/4)<br />
2. Some of them treat the ailments of the patients “Kinchit Artasya Rognut” (Ch.Chi.1/1/4)<br />
Medicine belonging to first category is considered to be useful for a healthy person. There are certain natural conditions like old age, which affect even a healthy individual. The medicine belonging to this category helps to maintain excellent physique. Those medicines which invigorate a healthy person are mostly rejuvenators.<br />
Bhel Samhita<br />
Another text commonly referred to Samhita period is Bhel Samhita which appears to be a contemporary writing to Charak Samhita. This is not available in complete form. Achara Rasayana is described in this Samhita. There is specific indication of Rasayana therapy in “Rajyakshma” in this Samhita. Pippali Rasayana and Pippali Vardhman Rasyana are also described in this Samhita. The topics which are specifically described in Bhel Samhita are Rasayanas in the form of Shukra Shodhana Vasti , Rasayana Vasti.<br />
Following Rasayanas preparations have been newly introduced by Bhel are<br />
1. Jivakadi Rasayana Ghrita.<br />
2. Mahasneha Rasayana<br />
3. Shatavaryadi Rasayana Vasti.<br />
4. Pancha mulyadi Rasayana.<br />
5. Shatapaka sukumara Taila.<br />
In Bhel Samhita there is no independent chapter on Rasayana Therapy. In Bhel Samhita Rasayana is described in chapter naming “Dirghayushyopaya”. The concept are similar to these described by Charaka.<br />
Sushruta Samhita<br />
Sushruta Samhita is next important text of Ayurveda. A critical study of this text in reference to Rasayana Therapy was almost same as described by Charaka. But the way of description of Rasayana in Sushruta Samhita is something different. Sushruta has omitted the philosophical aspects of subject and has given lesser importance to the physiological concepts. Sushruta has not given much importance to specialized regimen of Rasayana Therapy like Vatatpika and Kutipraveshika procedure ofCharaka. However, he has advocated the use of Ahara for Rasayana treatment similar to vranitagara described for the use of the wounded persons in a different context. Dalhana Considered this context comparable to Charka’s Kutipraveshika Procedure .The most important contribution of Sushruta and the great commentatorDalhana to the development of Rasayana therapy is the classification of Rasayana(Su.Su.1/10 Dalhana). They described that Rasayana therapy have two aspects:<br />
1. Kamya Rasayana For healthy Person.<br />
2. Naimitiika Rasayana For diseased person.<br />
Sushruta has introduced a number of newer Rasayana drugs which have not been mentioned earlier in Samhitalike Charaka Samhita and Bhel Samhita.<br />
Some drugs are<br />
• Kalamegha<br />
• Varahi Kanda<br />
• Golomi<br />
• Chhattra<br />
• Atichhatra<br />
• Gambhari Phala<br />
• Shwetaksha<br />
• Karvira<br />
(Su.Chi.27-28 chapter)<br />
Some compound drugs are<br />
• Shweta Vakuchi Rasayana Yoga.<br />
• Krishan Vakuchi Rasayana Yoga<br />
• Vacha Rasayana Yoga<br />
• Rasayana Shatpaka Vachagharita<br />
• Ayuvardhaka Rasayana<br />
• Nilotpala Kwath Rasayana<br />
• Vasa taila Rasayana Yoga.<br />
• Rasayana Samartyaprad Yoga<br />
• Daridrya Nashak Rasayan Yoga<br />
• Yavadi Yog.<br />
Certain drugs like Vidanga, Kashmari, Vacha, Brahmi, and the 24 types of somas are described (Su.Chi.27/5-8). But certain drugs like Amalaki, Pippalli, and Shankhapushpi have found priority consideration in Charaka Samhita but not described in Sushruta Samhita<br />
Kashyapa Samhita<br />
The other contemporary Samhita is the Kashyapa Samhita; this book is not available in complete form. However, the available Samhita does not show any separate description of Rasayana Therapy, of course there is scattered description of Rasayana therapy in different context. Similar to Bhel Samhita Rasayana therapy is specifically indicated in management of Rajyakshma. It has been indicated in cases of Kshaya and in Kshina.<br />
Special drugs described by Kashyapa samhita are the following:<br />
Single drugs<br />
• Brahm<br />
• Lashuna<br />
Compound Drugs<br />
• Shatpushpa Kalpa<br />
• Lashuna Kalp<br />
• Madhu - Sharkara Yoga<br />
There is description of different types of Kshira and Mansa has been described. Nagbala, Mandukparni, Yashtimadhu, Brahmi, Rasona has been specially indicated in the treatment of Rajyakshama. While describing the properties of Shatapushpa, shatawari and Lashun Kalp, Kashyapa touch the concepts of Vrinhana, Balkara, Vrishya, Varna-Ojovardhana, Ayushya, Samriti Medha Vardhna & Vayasthapana effects of Rasayana therapy. Kashyapa also suggest Poorva Karma for Rasayana therapy.<br />
Vagabhatta<br />
The two later texts written by Vagbhatta namely Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtang Hridaya appear to have largely adopted Charaka Samhita. Of course some newer drugs have been introduced in this text. Concepts of Achara Rasayana, Vatatpika Rasayana and kuti Praveshika Rasayana are similar to Charak Samhita. One distinct observation made by Vagabhattaregarding the age factor in selection of subjects for the use of Rasayana therapy is indicated in younger or middle age groups. No such emphasis has been put on the use of Rasayana therapy in younger age groups in earlier texts. Vagbhatta has also indicated the Poorvakarma before the administration of Rasayana drugs.<br />
(As.h.Ut.39/40)<br />
Chakradutta<br />
Chakradutta has emphasized the role of Sanshodhana therapy as a Poorvakarma for Rasayana therapy. He has also described popular Rasayana drugs like Chyavnaprash, Bhallataka yoga, Vardhmaan Pippali Rasayana, Agastya Haritaki, Vyaghri Haritaki and Loh Rasayana etc. He has described the special use of Haritaki in various seasons under the term Ritu Haritaki .Chakrdutta has described certain minerals like Loha, Shilajatu, Swarna, Rajat and Tamra. Chakradutta has also described use of Rasayana Drugs In younger and middle age groups.<br />
Sharangadhara Samhita<br />
Sharangadhara Samhita is a text mainly dealing with Kayachikitsa. Sharangadhara Samhita does not show a separate chapter on Rasayana therapy though essential information about Rasayana therapy is available in the text. The most significant description available in Sharangadhara Samhita on this subject is the definition of Rasayana:<br />
Thus Sharangadhara conceived Rasayana as measures which may delay aging and prevent diseases and thus may maintain the positive health. The classical single Rasayana drugs described as Rasayana by Sharangadhara are:<br />
• Amrita<br />
• Rudanti<br />
• Guggulu<br />
• Haritaki<br />
• Swarna.<br />
Beside a number of Rasayana compounds have been described by Sharangdhara such as :<br />
• Louha Rasayana<br />
• Kamdeo Ghrita<br />
• Chyavanprashavleha<br />
• Kaishora Guggulu<br />
• Yogaraj Guggulu<br />
• Agastyaharitaki Avaleha<br />
Bhavaprakash<br />
This book contributes a small but full-fledged independent chapter on Rasayana where one finds comprehensive definition of Rasayana and a number of Rasayanadrugs and preparations. BavaPrakash defines Rasayana as a measure which may delay aging and prevent disease. Longevity and improvement in mental faculties have been claimed as the classical Rasayana effects. Rasayana drugs like Mandukparni Punarnava, Ashwagandha and guggulu and Haritaki have been given special emphasis. However, a review of BhavaPrakash does not show mention of Acharya Rasayana. There is no description of the Classifications of Rasayana. There is no description of the administrative procedure of Rasayana therapy but there is genuine emphasis on the role of samshodhana Karma as a Poorvakarma of RasayanaTherapy.<br />
Madhava Nidana<br />
It is being a text purely dealing with the clinical and diagnostic medicine. It is not concerned with therapeutics and therapeutic procedures and accordingly there is no description of Rasayana therapy in this text.<br />
Yogaratnakara<br />
In this text there is full separate chapter on Rasayana. The definition of Rasayana is same as described by Charaka. There is a description of Madhya Rasayana in this text. Jala, Dugdha, Madhu, and Ghrita have been indicated as Rasayana and special description on Haritaki is presented. There is also a description of Vardhamana Bhallataka Prayoga.<br />
Classical Concepts about practice of Rasayana therapy<br />
Rasayana therapy is not a simple drug therapy but is a specialized therapeutic procedure implicating the fundamental concept of<br />
It may leading to Comprehensive clinical effects designated as Vaya Sthapana, Ayushkara, Medhakara, Balakara and Jara Vyadhi Nashana effects.In conformity with this comprehensive effect the practice of Rasayana therapy has been advocated to involve a number of specific considerations like.<br />
• Prakriti(Constitutions)<br />
• Vaya (Age)<br />
• Satmya (Biological adaptability to Desha/Kala/Ritu.)<br />
• Dhatus (Tissue and tissue nutrition.)<br />
• Srotasa (Microcirculation)<br />
• Agni (Digestive and metabolic factors)<br />
• Ojus (Vitality)<br />
In addition during Rasayana therapy a person desirous of optimum effects should consume a suitable regime of diet and should follow a suitable code of psychosocial conduct as prescribed under Achara Rasayana.<br />
Consideration of Prakriti<br />
Rasayana drugs are administered to person according to constitution or Prakriti. This has to be determined in view of the basic Pharmacodynamic properties of a particular Rasayana Drugs e.g. Bhallataka, Rasona, Guggulu and Pippali may be suitable Rasayana drugs for a person of Kaphaja Prakriti because these drugs have antiKapha Pharmacodynamic properties such as Ushana Veerya, Katu & Kashaya Rasa, Ruksha & Laghu Gunas. On the other hand drugs like Amalaki and Shatawari may be best Rasayana drugs for a person of Paittika Prakriti probably due to their Sheeta Veerya and other Pharmacodynamic properties. Through Prakriti described in Ayurvedais subtotal of the physique, Physiology and Psyche of a particular persons; Vatika Prakriti is specially predominated by neuropsychological components. In view of this fact an appropriate Rasayana Drugs for a person of Vatika Prakriti should be such which may have the restorative effects on the mind and the body. In present reference, Vacha, Nagabala and similar other drugs may be ideal Rasayana for a person of Vatika Prakriti. Similarly Ashwagandha and Shankhpushpi may prove useful for such persons from mental point of view.<br />
Consideration of Vaya (Age)<br />
In spite of the fact that Rasayana therapy exhibits the anti aging effects like Vaya Sthapna, Ayushkara and Jara Nashak the maximum utility of Rasayana therapy can be obtained when used during early adult and middle age life i.e. 3rd to 5th decades as suggested by Sushruta and Vagbhatta<br />
Once there was irreversible aging changes the Rasayana may not be adequately effective. Thus early adult and middle age is the best period for Rasayana therapy.<br />
In this reference Sharangadhara describes that a person loses his<br />
• Balya<br />
• Bridhi<br />
• Chhavi<br />
• Medha<br />
• Twak<br />
• Dristi<br />
• Shukra<br />
• Vikrama<br />
• Budhi<br />
• Karmendriya<br />
in 1st ,2nd ,3rd ,4th ,5th, 6th ,7th, 8th, 9th,and 10th decades of life respectively.In relation to these features specific Rasayana drugs may be selected and administered in respective age groups. A study done by central council for Research in Indian medicine & Homeopathy New Delhi held at IMS BHU Suggests fallowing Schedule as regard to the Consideration of Vaya or age in Rasayana Therapy.<br />
Study of Udupa K.N. and Singh R.S. (1995) Shows a guidance<br />
Regarding use of Rasayana Drugs for different age groups<br />

71-80 Vikrama <br />
81-90 Buddhi<br />

91- Above Karmendriya <br />
Consideration of Satmaya<br />
Similar to Vaya and Prakriti, the Rasayana therapy demands a consideration of the Satmaya (Adaptability) in Ayurveda. Broadly one may need different Rasayana drugs in different Ritu or seasons and different Desha or climates. Here again the Pharmacodynamic properties of different Rasayana Drugs have to be taken into the consideration. Following table shows a list of suitable Rasayana drugs to be used in different Ritu or seasons..<br />
Similarly in consideration with Desha Satmaya Snigdhoshna drugs may be good for Jangala Desha; Rukshoshna drugs for Anupa Desha and Sadharna drugs for Sadharna Desha and so on. In this entire context consideration of the Pharmacodynamic of Rasayana Drugs is to be implicated.<br />
Consideration of Dhatus/ Agni/Srotamsi<br />
Depending upon the status of different Dhatus and Dhatusara one has to select specific Rasayana drugs for the benefit of different specific Dhatus. This has to be determined in consideration of Pharmacodynamic properties and Panchmahabhautika Constitution of different Dhatu and different Rasayana drugs. In view of this fact following Rasayana Drugs may be considered specific for the respective Dhatu.<br />
Sr. No Dhatu Rasayana Drug<br />
1. Ras Kashmari, Kharjura, Draksha.<br />
2. Rakta Lauhadi Rasayana, Amalaki<br />
<br />
3. Mansa Ashwagandha, Bala,Nagabala, Kashmari<br />
<br />
4. Meda Amrita, Haritaki<br />
5. Asthi<br />
Vanshalochana, laksha,<br />
6. Majja Lauha, Vasaa, Majja<br />
7. Shukra Vajikarna Drugs<br />
These specific Rasayana drugs are having same composition as the respective Dhatu. They cause Rasayana effect acting at level of Rasa by improving the specific nutritional values of Poshaka Rasa. Drugs are having effect at level of Agni or digestion, metabolism and at level of Srotansi or microcirculation. Drugs acting at level of Srotansi are Pippali, Guggulu, Rasona, and Bhallataka. Drugs activity at the level of Agni for Producing Rasayana effects are Pippali, Chitraka, Vidang.<br />
Consideration of Ojus<br />
It is saaransh of all Dhatus which are supposed to induce Bala, Vyadhikshamatva or immunity. Jivaniya classes of drugs, Yashtimadhu, Swarna are of classes of drugs which improves quality of ojus. Similarly improvement in mental faculties or medhakara effect is also achieved with Rasayana therapy. But certain specific Rasayana appear to have specific effect at this level (Medhya Rasayana). That is the reason why our classics have given priority to Medhya Rasayana such as Shankhpushpi, Jyotishmati, Brahmi etc. (Ch. Chi. ) thus Rasayana therapy has a very comprehensive basis.<br />
Classification of Rasayana<br />
Classification of Rasayana by Sharma A.K. and Singh R.H. 1992<br />

Kutipraveshika Rasayana<br />
Thus type of Rasayana is administered in cottage constructed at a good site and where the required appliances can easily be procured. The cottage is three walled(Trigarbha Kutti). In a favorable Muhoorta, a person desirous of undergoing rejuvenation therapy should enter into the cottage. That individual should than be cleansed by the administration of elimination therapy. Thereafter, when he is happy and has regained his strength, the rejuvenation therapy should be administered. After administration of elimination therapy, normally the patient becomes a little weak. Therefore, proper diet (Sansarjana karma) should be given to patient by this he will regain his strength. (Ch. Chi. 1/1/17-23)<br />
Vatatpika Rasayana<br />
It is not administered in Trigarbha Kutti. It can be administered even if the individual is exposed to the wind and sun hence called Vatatpika Rasayana.<br />
Kamya Rasayana<br />
The most significant contribution of sushruta to Rasayana Vigyana is the comprehensive classification presented in the text which has been further appropriated by the great commentator “Dalhana” the text of Sushruta Samhita and the Dalhana’s commentary light the concept that Rasayana therapy may have two aspects:<br />
• Kamya Rasayana :<br />
To be used for improvement of health and vigor in normal state<br />
• Naimitika Rasayana :<br />
To be used in person suffering from specific disease.<br />
Kamya means desire. The Rasayana used for achieving a specific desire is called Kamya Rasayana. It is further divided into Prana Kamya, Medha Kamya, Shri Kamya used in the healthy persons for promotion of Medha, Pran, Shri Naimitiika Rasayana<br />
Naimitika Rasayana is to be used in person suffering from specific disease. This Rasayana is used as adjuvant along with treatment for specific ailments. Naimitika Rasayana is of more practical significance. Naimitika Rasayana is not the specific medical treatment for particular diseases, but it is used as adjuvant along with the specific management of disease e.g. Ashwagandha Churna, Ashwagandharishta is indicated in the treatment of tuberculosis (Su. U. 41/42-43)<br />
Following table gives a list of popular Naimitika Rasayana<br />
Sr. No. Disease Drugs<br />
1. Drishti Mandya Triphala, Shatawari Jyotishmati,Yashtimadhu.<br />
2. Kushtha Bhallataka Rasayana, Tuvaraka,Vidanga<br />
3. Rajyakshama Ashwagandha, Pippali, Shilajatu, Nagabala<br />
<br />
4. Shwasa Agastya Rasayana, Bhallataka<br />
5. Prameha Shilajatu, Amalaki, Rasayana, Haridra<br />
<br />
6. Pandu Amalaki Rasayana Lauha Rasayana<br />
<br />
7. Vata Vyadhi Rasona, Guggulu, vacha, Nagabala.<br />
Ajasrika Rasayana<br />
Ajasrika Rasayana can be used daily as diet Dugdha, Ghrita are commonly Rasayana.<br />
Sanshodhana Rasayana/ Sanshamana Rasayana<br />
The Rasayana Drugs which eliminate the vitiated Doshas by expelling from body called Sanshodhana Rasayana. Rasayana drugs expel Doshas out of body by Vamana, Virechana, and Swedna etc. Examples of Shodnana Rasayana are Pippali, Yashtimadhu etc. There are other drugs which producing Dosh Shaman effect. These drugs are called Sanshamana Rasayana.<br />
Medhya Rasayana<br />
Medha is to have proper correlation and understanding about the knowledge of the existing objects. Due to Medha a person will be able to obtain the knowledge of existing object and hence person becomes learned. Majority of Medhya Rasayana drugs possess varied properties. Hence it appears difficult to explain the effect of all the Medhya drugs.<br />
Nagarjuna has mentioned that Medhya drugs mainly act by their Achintya Veerya i.e. Prabhava. The effect of Medhya Rasayana is also at different levels such as at level ofRasa, Agni, and Srotsa. At the level of Agni these drug act by stimulating and improving the function of Agni. At level of Srotsa, these drugs improve the circulation ofRasa by opening and cleaning the micro channel and then ultimately improve the function of Medha. These drugs have beneficial effect on body as well as on mind. Various Medhya Rasayana drugs used are Mandukparni Svarasa, Shankhpushpi Kalka, Guduchi Svarasa and Mulethi Churna. These Medhya Rasayana are described in Charaka Samhita. Some of the Rasayana drugs act by Panchbhautika composition, Some by Rasa, Guna Veerya, and Vipaka. Pharmacological properties of drugs are the resultant of different combination of Bhoota. Panchamahabhoot are said to have characteristic of three Mahaguna Satva, Raja, and Tama. Medha are attributed to predominance ofSatva Guna, Hence Aakashiya, Taijus, Aapya drugs having Satva guna predominance improve Medha. On the basis of Rasa Tikta Rasa has direct action on the promotion of Medha. It performs their function by its Laghu property and Deepana-Paachana and Srotoshodhaka action. Madhura Rasa also by promoting the formation of Ojanourishes five sense, mind and medha. Hence Medhya Rasayana Drugs appear to be predominantly Tikta-Madhura Rasa. Amla, Lavana and Katu Rasa are having least importance in Medhya action. Similarly Ushana Veerya drugs stimulate Saadhak Pitta which promotes Medha. Ushana Veerya drugs improve Grahan Shakti (power of reception) and Samriti (Power of recalling). Majority of drugs are having Madhura Vipaka which nourishes Medha by formation of Oja. So all the Medhya Rasayana drugs improve mental faculties, improve mental function and intellect.<br />
Achara Rasayana<br />
Achara Rasayana is described in various texts. It means good conduct. A careful analysis of qualities of Achara Rasayana reveal that most of them are related withMana, Dhi, Dhriti along with good conduct and these results in maximum benefit. A person must be truthful, free from anger, which is devoid of alcohol, sex indulgence; a person must not indulge in violence or exhaustion. A person may regularly offer prayers to Gods, Teachers, Preceptors and old people. A person must be absolutely free from barbarous acts, his period of awakening and sleep is regular, must take milk and Ghee regularly, should be free from ego, Whose conduct is good, must not be narrow minded, Should have love for spiritual Knowledge, must have excellent sense organ, having self control, who regularly read scripture, must have regard for elderly people, must take milk and Ghee regularly. If a person endowed with these qualities takes rejuvenation therapy they get all the rejuvenation benefit. (Ch. Chi. 1/4/30-35)<br />
Benefit of Rasayana<br />
A persons undergoing rejuvenation therapy attains longevity, memory, intellect, freedom from disease, youth, excellence of lusture, complexion, voice, excellent potentialities of the body and sense organs i.e. what he says comes true, respect and brilliance. The means by which one gets the excellence of Rasa is known as Rasayana or a Rejuvenation therapy. A part from excellence of Rasa, the individual is endowed with psychic excellence like sharp memory etc. by virtue of rejuvenation therapy.<br />
Aim of Rasayana therapy is to achieve long and healthy life<br />
Rasayana Chikitsa boosts the ojus (vital force of life) and immune System. It helps a person to maintain good health or to establish impaired or lost physical or mental health. Ojaswi is used to describe those people who keep good health in all seasons and all stages of life. It is like obtaining high rank in a physical or mental fitness.

Sushruta defines a healthy man as one who has equilibrium of Doshas, normal functioning of Agni, normal condition of seven Dhatus, beside his soul, the sense organs and mind should be happy and cheerful (Su. Su.15/15) Rasayana stands as an answer to solve the problem of healthful longevity including mental development and resistance against disease. Rasayana is a specialized type of treatment influencing the fundamental aspect of body i.e. Dhatu, Agni and Srotasa. It is a possible that different Rasayana drugs may act with predominance effect at different levels. These comprehensive effects are brought about with the help of the varied Pharmacodynamic properties of these drugs. Rasayana effect is not a specific pharmacological action but is a complex phenomenon operating through a Comprehensive mechanism involving the fundamental factors like Rasa-Samvahan, Dhatus, Agni and Srotsa. It may ultimately be leading to the achievement of the comprehensive effect as stated by Charaka “labhopayo Hi Shastanam - Rasadinam Rasayanum” (Ch. Chi. 1/1/7-8)<br />
It produces the Rasayana effects mentioned in term of Vayasthapana and Ayushkara, Medhakara, Urjaskara so that Rasayana drugs acting at level of Rasa by improving Specific nutritional values of Poshak Rasa. Probably Rasayana drugs are having Madhura, Guru, Snigdha, and Sheeta properties act as Rasayana at level of Rasa by promoting the nutritional value of the Rasa which in term helps in obtaining the best qualities of Dhatus.

The possible mechanisms by which action of Rasayana can be interpreted with modern aspects is follow :<br />
1. Antioxidant action<br />
2. Immunomodulatory action<br />
3. Hemopiotic effect.<br />
4. Adaptogenic action<br />
5. Antiaging action.<br />
6. Anabolic action<br />
7. Nutritive function<br />
8. Neuroprotective action<br />
Antioxidant Action<br />
Rasayana drugs acts as Antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that reduce oxidative damage such as that caused by free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that attack molecules by capturing the electrons and thus modifying chemical structures. Well known Antioxidants include a number of enzymes and other substances such as vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta carotene (which is converted to vitamin A) that are capable of counteracting the damaging effect of oxidation. Antioxidants are also commonly added to food products like vegetable oils and prepared foods<br />
Researches show that Antioxidants are useful for protection of heart disease. This is because oxidation plays a big role in formation atherosclerotic plaque which is a main Pathological event in coronary heart disease. So there is significant role of antioxidant in coronary heart disease. Antioxidants are having role in preventing diabetes mellitus. Antioxidant rich diet may prevent Diabetes. Taking Antioxidants rich food especially vitamin E, may lower risk of Type II DM. A new study show that people whose diets had the highest levels vitamin E were 30% less likely to develop type II DM. In addition, researchers found that people who ate a lot of carotenoids, a type of antioxidant found in colorful fruits and vegetables, also had a lower risk of developing type II DM. Oxidative damage to cells is also important phenomenon in aging process. So Antioxidants are also helpful in delaying aging. Antioxidants may possibly reduce the risk of cancer and age related macular degeneration. Many Rasayana drugs like Amla, Ashwagandha acts are Antioxidants. Main constituents of Amla are vitamin C, carotene, and riboflavin. It is having a role in cellular oxidation reduction. They have also a role in collagen fibrin synthesis, helps in formation at fibrin, Absorption of iron. Withanolide in Ashwagandhaalso acts as Antioxidants by increasing levels of three natural Antioxidants like super oxide- dismutase, Catalase, Glutathione peroxidase<br />
Immunomodulatory Action<br />
Rasayana drugs also acts as immunomodulator. An immunomodulator is a drug used for its effect on the immune system. Clinical problems that require an evaluation of immunity include chronic infections, recurrent infection, unusual infecting agents and certain autoimmune syndromes. The type of Clinical syndrome under evaluation can provide information regarding possible immune defects<br />
Certain Rasayana drugs at as Immunomodulator strengthening of immunity is done in various ways - by promoting bodily defense Mechanisms like increasing the WBC count, improving immune function. Bodily defense mechanism is promoted. Certain Rasayana drugs also increase number of immune cells known as T cells & B cells helping to fight infections.<br />
Antiaging Action<br />
Aging is progressive change related to passage of time. By age 50-60 age related changes to begin to reflect like reduced power of muscle, reduced vision, memory, locomotion function, there is gradual decline in homeostasis and immune function predisposes them to infection, digestive problem and malignancy.<br />
Free radicals cause oxidative damage to various biological molecules e.g. hydroxyl radicals can damage cell membrane and lipoproteins by a process called lipid peroxidation which may contribute to aging process. Certain Rasayana drugs likes Ashwagandha inhibits copper induced lipid peroxidation and also inhibits oxidative protein modification. Rasayana also acts as Antioxidants so they help in delaying Aging.</span>curesure Mohamadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10142823112521329519noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218302379088910162.post-10163567652191148262010-01-02T23:51:00.000-08:002010-01-03T00:07:25.549-08:00ayurvedic cure for diabetes<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br />

Though thousands of people are dying with Diabetes around the world every year, yet there is no discovery of the cure of this disease. The more unfortunate part is that there is very less awareness among people on the capabilities of Ayurveda, to not only prevent these disease (even for them who have history in family) but it can also be cured to a certain extent in more than one ways like frequency of taking insulin injections is reduced drastically or improving functioning of pancreas that generates insulin or reducing the requirement of insulin by body etc.</span></span><br />

Kaphaja and Pittaja prameha have been sub classified in to ten types and six types respectively. These sixteen types have the physical characteristics of urine that is colour, density and volume depending up on the different gunas of Kapha and Pitta.

The ojus in a healthy person determines the physical, psychic, sensory motor functions of the body. This is a biochemical component of the body which is reddish-white in color and residing in heart & other vital organs of the body.

Ayurvedic term for peptic ulcer, “<b>Parinam shool</b>”, is a disorder caused by the Agni bhootha<br />
<br />
<b>Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer</b><br />
Abdominal pain<br />
Heart burn<br />
Nausea<br />
<br />
<b>Causes of Peptic Ulcer </b><br />
The main cause of the peptic ulcer is hyperacidity, a condition of excess digestive acid in the stomach. Improper life style and diet is another reason. The conditions which prop up increase in hydrochloric acid secretion cause peptic ulcer<br />
<br />
<b>Factors that Cause Hyperacidity</b><br />
Intake of spicy and hot foods<br />
Fasting<br />
Irregular eating<br />
Alcohol consumption<br />
Stress and anxiety<br />
Smoking<br />
Excessive use of pain killers like aspirin, ibuprofen etc<br />
Excessive intake of tea and coffee<br />
<br />
<b>Treatment for Peptic Ulcer Ayurvedic treatment for peptic ulcer</b> is aimed at two things, 1) to reduce the quantity of digestive fluids produced in the stomach 2) To neutralise the digestive acids Here are some <b>Ayurvedic and herbal remedies for peptic ulcer:</b><br />
<b>Home Remedies</b><br />
Eat more banana and plantain<br />
Drink cold milk<br />
Drink more water<br />
Drink juices of raw vegetables like cabbage<br />
Take small meals frequently (do not overeat)<br />
Take barley, papal, paraval prepared with honey<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ayurvedic Remedies</b><br />
Sukhumara Ghrita is widely prescribed for peptic ulcer<br />
Snehapanam, a medicated ghee, is a treatment used for Peptic Ulcer<br />
Take Avipatrika Churna regularly<br />
Amalpitanthak Loh, Leela Vilas ras and Chanderkala Ras are good medicines for peptic ulcer<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Life style and Diet</b><br />
Do not drink alcohol, tea, coffe, cola or smoke, instead, take barley water regularly<br />
Do not use aspirin and other pain killers<br />
Eat food timely<br />
Relax yourselves<br />
Avoid spicy, hot and fried foods<br />
Avoid garlic, yogurt, ginger etc<br />
Avoid baked food, breads, cakes etc<br />
Avoid pickles and hot sausages<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ayurvedic Treatment Of The Duodenal Ulcer</b><br />
<br />
<br />
People having too much of tension, worry and anxiety have been found to suffer from duodenal ulcer.<br />
In Ayurveda, the condition — duodenal ulcer – is referred to as Grahani. People having the Vatika type of physical composition are prone to suffer from duodenal ulcer. Even those having the psychic temperament can suffer from this condition. Duodenal ulcer affects the duodenum.<br />
Mentionably, a person with a strong mind and determination can cure this disease even without any treatment. The ailment automatically subsides.<br />
However, it may again recur during a psychic strain or stress. It may recur even if there is a disturbance in the intake of food.<br />
<br />
<b>THE DUODENUM</b><br />
The duodenum plays a pivotal role in the digestive process. The duodenum is a horseshoe-shaped section surrounding a part of the pancreas and the pancreatic duct. It also envelops the ducts from the liver and gall bladder that open into it. Two ducts are connected to the duodenum. One duct excretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum; the other secretes bile.<br />
The topmost portion of the duodenum is connected to the lowest end of the stomach. The duodenum is about 20 cm in length.<br />
<b>THE DUODENUM & THE SMALL INTESTINE</b><br />
The middle part of the small intestine, extending from the duodenum to the ileum, is called the jejunum, and the terminal portion is the ileum, which leads into the side of the first part of the large intestine, known as the cecum.<br />
The lining membrane, or mucosa, of the small intestine is especially suited for the purpose of digestion and absorption. The mucosa is folded; the folds are covered with minute mucosal projections called villi.<br />
Each villus is a small tube of epithelium surrounding a small lymphatic vessel, or lacteal, and many capillaries. Tiny glandular pits, called the crypts of Lieberkühn, open at the bases of the villi. These pits secrete the enzymes necessary for intestinal digestion.<br />
<b>THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS</b><br />
Digested carbohydrates and proteins pass into the capillaries of the villi and then to the portal vein, which enters the liver; digested fats are absorbed into the lacteals in the villi, and they are transported through the lymphatic system into the general bloodstream. The lining of the small intestine also secretes a hormone called secretin, which stimulates the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes.<br />
<b>CAUSES OF DUODENAL ULCER &COLIC PAIN</b><br />
During this process, the patient suffering from duodenal ulcer at times experiences pain in the abdomen. This colic pain is termed as Parinama shula. It takes place due to the predominance of Vayu. Colic pain results after the formation of duodenal ulcer.<br />
More often than not, colic pain takes place when one is hungry. It, however, subsides after one takes food. There may be exceptions, though.<br />
<b>SYMPTOMS OF DUODENAL ULCER</b><br />
Chronic colic pain arising due to duodenal ulcer causes the patient starts to lose weight. This happens because the body fails to absorb the food consumed. The digestive system fails to function to its optimum capacity.<br />
The patient becomes too sensitive and irritable due to his/her weak constitution.<br />
Sometimes, the ulcers start bleeding as well.<br />
The blood appears back in colour as it has to come out through non-functioning intestines.<br />
The stool may also appear black due to this bleeding process.<br />
The patient may vomit during this condition. On rare occasions blood may accompany the purged mucous substances<br />
.<br />
<b>CURE CONSTIPATION FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY</b><br />
Constipation accelerates and aggravates the wind formation process inside the tummy in particular and the abdomen in general. This condition, in turn, precipitates the attack of pain.<br />
The patient should be tendered laxative to cure constipation. Two very effective laxatives are the husk of Isahagol and castor oil. Either of these medications should be given to the patient at bedtime.<br />
<b>DIETARY REGIMEN</b><br />
The patient should regularly have pomegranate, amalaki, wheat, old (the one preserved for at least one year) rice, ghee and cheese prepared from cow’s milk, and skimmed milk.<br />
<b>WHAT NOT TO EAT</b><br />
Don’t consume pulses;<br />
Fried food items are also prohibited;<br />
Similarly stay away from sour and hot items like curd, chillies, and spices.<br />
All in all, avoid all food items that promote roughness and dryness in the physique.<br />
<b>OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS</b><br />
The patient should have sound sleep at nights;<br />
The patient must have sufficient rest;<br />
The patient must not be allowed to tolerate any tension, worry or mental strain and stress.<br />
Such persons should not observe fasts;<br />
Nor should a patient remain on an empty tummy for long.<br />
<br />
<b>AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS</b><br />
Ayurveda prescribed medications prepared from pure ghee (prepared from only cow’s milk) for patients suffering from chronic colic pain arising due to duodenal ulcer. In fact, these medications work for both the aforementioned conditions.<br />
COMMON DELUSION<br />
One should not be under the delusion that disappearance of the colic pain connotes cure of duodenal ulcer or colic pain.<br />
Both can return with a vengeance!<br />
ADOPT A COUNTER-OFFENSIVE POSTURE<br />
Hence, it is always advisable to adopt a counter-offensive posture. The strategy is to strike at the very root of both the ailments. This can be possible only when the patient continues the medicines (prepared from the medicated ghee). These medicines need to be consumed over a sufficiently long time to enjoy permanent respite from the ailment.<br />
THE 2-FOLD MEDICINAL STRATEGY<br />
The medicines work in a two-fold strategy:<br />
First, they cure the symptoms;<br />
Finally these medicines prepare a shield against these diseases.<br />
AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS<br />
These five Ayurvedic medicines are Shatavari ghritta, Amalaki ghrita, Shankha bhasma, Mahashankha vati and Sukumara ghrita.<br />
MAHASHANKHA GHRITA & SUKUMARA GHRITA<br />
Medicated ghee is the primary ingredient of the first two mentioned medications, viz., Shatavari ghritta and Amalaki ghrita. The others also have a considerable portion of the medicated ghee; but they also require considerable ratios of other ingredients.<br />
SHANKHA BHASMA<br />
Shankha bhasma is prescribed against colic pain.<br />
The dose: Give the patient half a teaspoonful of this powder thrice daily. He/she should follow it up with a cup of hot water.<br />
MAHASHANKHA VATI<br />
Mahashankha ghritta is recommended for patients suffering from acute colic pain. As the terminology ‘Vati’ implies, this medication is available in the tablet (pill) form across the Ayurvedic counters. It is an intense form of Shankha bhasma.<br />
The dose: Two tablets thrice daily. The dose can be increased to four times if the intensity and frequency of colic pain is intense and frequent respectively.<br />
Mentionably, the patient should drink a cup of warm water immediately after taking this tablet.<br />
Uses: It cuts down on the colic pain intensity and boosts digestion.<br />
SUKUMARA GHRITA<br />
Sukumara ghrita is the commonly prescribed medicine by the Ayurvedic practitioners. The major ingredients of Sukumara ghrita is castor oil and pure ghee (prepared from only cow’s milk).<br />
The dose: Two teaspoonfuls mixed with a cup of warm milk. The medications should be taken on an empty tummy.<br />
Alternative: If the patient cannot have milk, then it can be mixed with a cup of warm water as well.<br />
Note: In case, the symptoms subsist the dose should be increased, but gradually.<br />
Caution Note: If the digestion process fails to respond adequately, it is due to the ghee component. Then, decrease the dose.<br />
However, the digestive capacity of the patient does increase considerably within three-four days of taking the medicine.<br />
In such cases, the person is able to consume additional amount of ghee as well. In such instances, increase the dose by half a teaspoonful daily.<br />
Mentionably, the patient will not experience any discomfort or inconvenience till the dosage is increased to six teaspoonfuls of ghee.<br />
Nonetheless, in such increased dosage the patient may at times feel laziness. It happens due to headache and drowsiness.curesure Mohamadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10142823112521329519noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218302379088910162.post-53542083203546421362010-01-02T20:57:00.000-08:002010-01-02T20:57:50.125-08:00HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY IN AYURVEDA -KRIYA SHAREERAM<b>Human Physiology in Ayurveda</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Śarīra Vicaya’ is the Ayurvedic term that represents both Anatomy and Physiology. ‘Vicaya’</b><br />
<b>means the special or detailed knowledge. As per Caraka, the detailed knowledge of normal</b><br />
<b>human body is helpful to understand the factors influencing health and therefore such</b><br />
<b>knowledge is widely appreciated by experts. (Ca.Śā. 6/3).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Theory of ‘Tridoṣa’: A Physiological Perspective</b><br />
<b>This theory forms the basis of Ayurvedic physiology, pathology and pharmacology.</b><br />
<b>Though, the term ‘Doṣa’ means ‘the disturbing factor’, it has got definite physiological</b><br />
<b>importance in normal state. Basically three ‘Dosas’- ‘Vāta’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’- are</b><br />
<b>responsible for maintenance of homeostasis in the body, and health is nothing but a state of</b><br />
<b>equilibrium of these ‘Tridosas’. Disease is manifested as a result of disturbance in the state of</b><br />
<b>equilibrium among these ‘Dosas’.</b><br />
<b>The concept of ‘Tridosa’ is basically a theory and any single substance or structure in</b><br />
<b>the body can not represent a ‘Dosa’. Terms like ‘Pittavarga’ and ‘Kaphavarga’ have been</b><br />
<b>used in some textbooks and such usage indicates that these (‘Vāta’-‘Pitta’-‘Kapha’) were</b><br />
<b>perceived to be three groups of physiologically similar substances.</b><br />
<b>‘Vāta’ is responsible for all movements and it is the initiating and controlling factor.</b><br />
<b>‘Pitta’ performs the activities like digestion, metabolism, production of heat and that is why it</b><br />
<b>is called ‘Agni’ meaning ‘Fire’. ‘Kapha’ performs the functions like protection, strength,</b><br />
<b>stability and resistance.</b><br />
<b>As Ayurveda is based on functional understanding of body, the different entities</b><br />
<b>representing ‘Tridosas’ at each level of organization can be assumed by analyzing these</b><br />
<b>functions. In generalized terms, the nervous, endocrine and immune mechanisms can be</b><br />
<b>equated to ‘Vāta’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’ respectively.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Homeostasis: Imbalance in the state of bodily-tissues is known as ‘Disease’ and equilibrium</b><br />
<b>is called ‘Health’. (Ca.Sū. 9/3, Ca. Śā. 6/18). Aim of this entire stream of science (Ayurveda)</b><br />
<b>is to re-establish the state of equilibrium among different tissues (Ca. Sū. 1/53).</b><br />
<b>‘Dhātusāmya’ is the term given for homeostasis in Ayurveda. In Suśruta’s view, the life on</b><br />
<b>this universe is maintained because of three opposing factors known as Sun, Moon and the</b><br />
<b>Air. The Sun exerts a drying effect on earth whereas the moon is coolant and strengthening in</b><br />
<b>nature. Air brings about all types of movements. In exactly similar manner, the body is</b><br />
<b>sustained by three opposing factors called ‘Vāta’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’ (Su. Sū. 21/8).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Concept of a Cell: Caraka has explained that the body parts can be divided and re-divided</b><br />
<b>into innumerable individual components called ‘Paramānus’. These are innumerable because</b><br />
<b>of their huge number, highly minute structure and limited perceptive ability of sense organs</b><br />
<b>(Ca. Śā. 7/17). This statement indicates that there existed a concept of minute and numerous</b><br />
<b>individual living units in the body. Today we call such microscopic units by the name ‘Cell’.</b><br />
<b>‘Anu Srotas’ is another such very similar term, probably indicative of a cell. Some scholars</b><br />
<b>even held the view that the living body is nothing but the resultant of aggregation of such</b><br />
<b>innumerable ‘Srotāmsi’. (Ca.Vi. 5/4). ‘Srotāmsi’ is the plural form of ‘Srotas’. The term</b><br />
<b>‘Srotas’ means an individual ‘Cell’ - ‘Anu Srotas’ and also an individual ‘Organ System’ -</b><br />
<b>‘Sthūula Srotas’. A tissue is a group of structurally and functionally similar cells. ‘Srotāmsi’</b><br />
<b>are structurally similar to their corresponding tissues. Also, each ‘Srotas’ is functionally</b><br />
<b>(Metabolically) related to its corresponding tissue.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Basic Tissues: Plasma and lymph (‘Rasa’), blood cells (‘Rakta’), muscular and general</b><br />
<b>connective tissues (‘Māmsa’), body-lipids including adipose tissue (‘Meda’), tissues resisting</b><br />
<b>easy degradation - like bones (‘Asthi’), bone marrow and nervous tissue (‘Majjā’) and tissues</b><br />
<b>responsible for reproductive functions (‘Śukra’) are the basic tissues from which the body is</b><br />
<b>formed. (A.H. Sū.1/13).</b><br />
<b>Tissues producing breast-milk (Stanya), female reproductive tissues (Ārtava),</b><br />
<b>‘Kandarā’ (tendons), Sirā (blood vessels), ‘Vasā’ (muscle fat), six layers of skin and ‘Snāyus’</b><br />
<b>(sinews) are the ‘Upadhātus’ (subsidiary tissues). Tissues producing breast-milk and female</b><br />
<b>reproductive tissues are Upadhātus of ‘Rasa’. ‘Kandarā’ and ‘Sirā’ are Upadhātus of ‘Rakta’.</b><br />
<b>‘Vasā’ and skin are Upadhātus of ‘Māmsa’. ‘Snāyu’ is the Upadhātu of ‘Medas’. (Ca. Ci.</b><br />
<b>15/17).</b><br />
<b>Classification of tissues described in Ayurveda is based on some rational</b><br />
<b>observations. For example, ‘Rasa Dhātu’ includes both plasma and lymph (Intravascular</b><br />
<b>fluid). ‘Rakta Dhātu’ mainly stands for RBCs. ‘Māmsa Dhātu’ stands for muscular tissue in</b><br />
<b>general but also includes general connective tissue and parenchymal and stromal tissues of</b><br />
<b>different viscera. As ‘coating’ or ‘covering’ is the function of ‘Māmsa Dhātu’, even epithelial</b><br />
<b>tissue is included under the same. ‘Medo Dhātu’ includes adipose tissue and circulating lipids</b><br />
<b>of blood because it is of two types: ‘Baddha’ (bound) and ‘Abaddha’ (free). ‘Asthi Dhātu’</b><br />
<b>includes all those structures of the body, which resist easy degradation. So, teeth and nails</b><br />
<b>also are included under this ‘Dhātu’. ‘Majjā Dhātu’ stands for everything that fills bony</b><br />
<b>cavities. So, apart from bone marrow, it also stands for Brain substance because this fills up a</b><br />
<b>cavity formed by the union of several cranial bones. ‘Śukra Dhātu’ mainly stands for all</b><br />
<b>hormones of hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis.</b><br />
<b>Supplying the nourishment (Prīnana), delivery of life-principle (Jīvana), providing</b><br />
<b>covering or coating (Lepa), providing lubrication (Sneha), giving mechanical support</b><br />
<b>(Dhārana), filling-in the (bony) cavities(Pūrana) and reproduction (Garbhotpāda) - are the</b><br />
<b>most important functions of these seven ‘Dhātus’ respectively. (A.H. Sū. 11/4).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiology of Nervous System</b><br />
<b>All movements are due to ‘Vāta’ and that is why it is called the ‘Prāna’ of all living</b><br />
<b>beings. (Ca. Sū. 18/118). So, ‘Prānavaha Srotas’ stands for the system concerned with the</b><br />
<b>activities of ‘Vāta’. ‘Prānavaha Srotas’ stands for the system that transports a specific type of</b><br />
<b>‘Vāta’ called ‘Prāna Vāta’. This is a special Srotas meant for a special type of ‘Vāta’</b><br />
<b>(Cakrapāni on Ca.Vi. 5/8).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Brain and Brainstem: ‘Śiras’ (Head) is the region where all ‘Prānas’ (most vital entities) are</b><br />
<b>situated and all sensory and motor activities are controlled from. That is why ‘Head’ is called</b><br />
<b>the ‘Most important organ’ among all parts of the body (Ca. Sū. 17/12). It is described that all</b><br />
<b>sensory and motor organs along with their ‘Prāanavaha Srotāmsi’, are connected to the brain</b><br />
<b>in a fashion that is similar to the connections between the sunrays and the Sun. (Ca. Si. 9/4).</b><br />
<b>Bhela has explained that the mind is situated in between the head and palate. The efficiency</b><br />
<b>of mind is beyond any other sensory or motor organ (Bh.Ci. 8/2-3).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Reflexes: Caraka has opined that one should not suppress the natural urges related to</b><br />
<b>micturition, defecation, ejaculation, flatus, vomiting, sneezing, eructation, yawning, hunger,</b><br />
<b>thirst, tears, sleep and also dyspnoea developed after exertion (Ca. Sū. 7/3-4). It should be</b><br />
<b>noted that one or the other reflex is involved in all these activities. So, the term ‘Vega’ stands</b><br />
<b>almost equivalent to reflex.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Concept of ‘Vāta’: All functions of nervous system in human body are represented through</b><br />
<b>‘Vāta’ in Ayurveda. In general, the functions ascribed to ‘Vāta’ are: Control and coordination</b><br />
<b>of different parts of the body, initiation of all movements, regulation of</b><br />
<b>psychological processes, initiation of all activities of sense organs, transmission of different</b><br />
<b>sensations, production of speech, secreto- motor functions in the gut, expulsion of wastes</b><br />
<b>from the body and control of respiration (Ca.Sū.12/8). ‘Vāta’ is divided into five sub types –</b><br />
<b>‘Prāna’, ‘Udāna’, ‘Vyāna’, ‘Samāna’ and ‘Apāna’.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Prāna Vāta’: This is situated in head and is responsible for the control over intellectual</b><br />
<b>functions, cardiovascular functions, sense organs, psychological activities, respiration, and</b><br />
<b>reflex activities like sneezing, belching and deglutition (A.H.Sū. 12/5). Based on this subtype</b><br />
<b>of ‘Vāta’, ‘Prānavaha Srotas’ has derived its name.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Udāna Vāta’: Its active site is chest region. It is basically responsible for production of</b><br />
<b>speech. The effort and strength required for speech are also the functions of ‘Udāna’. It also</b><br />
<b>helps in recall of vocabulary required for well-articulated speech (A.H.Sū. 12/5).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Vyāna Vāta’: The active site of ‘Vyāna Vāta’ is Heart. It makes the circulation of blood</b><br />
<b>possible by controlling the heart. Vyana makes ‘Rasa’ (the intravascular fluid including</b><br />
<b>plasma and lymph) to get forcefully ejected out of the heart and makes it circulate throughout</b><br />
<b>the body (Ca. Ci. 15/36). So, sympathetic and parasympathetic control of heart is indicated by</b><br />
<b>‘Vyāna Vāta’. Some authors have ascribed the functions of somatic nervous system also to</b><br />
<b>‘Vyāna Vāta’ as movements like flexion, extension, opening and closure of eyelids have been</b><br />
<b>said to be under its control (Ca. Ci. 28/9).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Samāna Vāta’: Active site of ‘Samāna’ is adjacent to gastro intestinal tract. It performs the</b><br />
<b>functions like reception of food, its digestion through the activation of ‘Agni’, its division</b><br />
<b>into useful and waste parts and its onward propulsion (A.H. Sū. 12/8). All these functions are</b><br />
<b>either those of parasympathetic nerves supplying the gut or those of enteric nervous system.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Apāna Vāta’: This is active in pelvic region. ‘Apāna’ governs physiological processes like</b><br />
<b>micturition, defecation, ejaculation, menstruation and parturition (A.H.Sū.12/9). Autonomic</b><br />
<b>nervous system has got a definite role in most of these activities.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiology of Gastro Intestinal Tract</b><br />
<b>‘Annavaha Srotas’ has got its roots situated in stomach, especially on its left side. ‘Purīsavaha</b><br />
<b>Srotas’ has got its roots in large intestine, especially at rectum (Ca.Vi. 5/8). ‘Annavaha</b><br />
<b>Srotas’ and ‘Purīsavaha Srotas’ together form the complete gastrointestinal tract. ‘Annavaha</b><br />
<b>Srotas’ includes upper and middle part of the gut whereas ‘Purīsavaha Srotas’ is lower GIT.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Deglutition, Mucous secretion and Secretion of Enzymes: The food is brought towards the</b><br />
<b>gut through ‘Prāna Vāta’. There, various fluids making its bonds loosen, act on it. Also, the</b><br />
<b>food is softened here. Then the ‘Samāna Vāta’ stimulates ‘Jatharāgni’. This ‘Agni’ finally</b><br />
<b>digests the food (Ca.Ci.15/6, 7). After the food reaches stomach, several digestive juices act</b><br />
<b>on it. Gastric juice, pancreatic juice, and enterocytes in the intestines - all contain important</b><br />
<b>digestive enzymes and act on food. Secretion of these enzymes is mostly under the control of</b><br />
<b>parasympathetic nerves and intrinsic enteric nervous system. This is how ‘Samāna Vāta’</b><br />
<b>stimulates ‘Agni’.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Digestion in Upper GIT: First stage of digestion is called ‘Madhura Avasthāpāka’. This</b><br />
<b>takes place in the stomach. During this stage, there occurs the release of froth-like ‘Kapha’</b><br />
<b>(Ca. Ci.15/9). Salivary juice and mucous secreted in the stomach serve many protective</b><br />
<b>functions but do not directly participate in the actual process of digestion. These are therefore</b><br />
<b>indicative of froth-like ‘Kapha’, which is ‘Malarūpī’ in nature.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Digestion in Small Intestine: ‘Pitta’ that is present in between stomach and large intestine is</b><br />
<b>called ‘Pācaka Pitta’. Though made up of five basic elements, it is dominant in fire principle.</b><br />
<b>So, it is devoid of liquidity and is called ‘Anala’ (‘Agni’). This digests the food and splits it</b><br />
<b>into essential nutrient part called ‘Sāra’ and waste part called ‘Kitta’ (A.H. Sū. 12/10-12).</b><br />
<b>The ‘Pācaka Pitta’ is directly responsible for digestion of the food and therefore stands for all</b><br />
<b>amylolytic, proteolytic, lipolytic and nucleic acid splitting enzymes. Gastrointestinal</b><br />
<b>hormones like gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin etc. also must be regarded as the</b><br />
<b>representatives of ‘Pācaka Pitta’. ‘Sāra’ (Nutrient) portion separated at this stage gets</b><br />
<b>absorbed and thereafter it is called ‘Rasa Dhātu’.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Release of Bile Juice: In the small intestine, ‘Accha Pitta’ (Bile) is released (Ca. Ci. 15/10)</b><br />
<b>during the second stage of digestion. This stage is called ‘Amla’ ‘Avasthāpāka’ and during</b><br />
<b>this phase, the bile juice and pancreatic juices are secreted into the duodenum. The bile is</b><br />
<b>liquid and it is called the ‘Accha Pitta’. ‘Accha’ means ‘liquid in form’. This is the ‘Mala’ of</b><br />
<b>‘Rakta’. Bilirubin is a derivative of hemoglobin metabolism and represents this ‘Accha Pitta’.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Factors influencing Digestion: Digestion of food depends on following important factors:</b><br />
<b>optimum temperature, ‘Vāyu’, fluid medium, lubricating substances, time and appropriate</b><br />
<b>administration. ‘Vāyu’ helps in movement of food in the gut. Fluids make the food particles</b><br />
<b>easily breakable. Lubricating substances make the food softer. Time factor makes sure that</b><br />
<b>the food is completely and properly digested. Along with all these factors, if the</b><br />
<b>administration also is proper, the resultant digested material will be capable of maintaining</b><br />
<b>‘Dhātusāmya’(Ca. Śā. 6/14,15).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Absorption and distribution of Digested Material: After the completion of the digestive</b><br />
<b>process, the digested material reaches all parts of the body through the vessels called</b><br />
<b>‘Dhamanīs’ (Ca.Vi. 2/18).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Large Intestine: After the nutrients are absorbed from the small intestine, the remaining</b><br />
<b>undigested portion of food reaches the large intestine. Here, it experiences the drying effect</b><br />
<b>of ‘Agni’ and there is formation of solid fecal matter along with the release of ‘Vāta’ of</b><br />
<b>‘Katu’ (pungent) nature. This stage is the third stage of digestion and is called ‘Katu</b><br />
<b>Avasthāpāka’ (Ca. Ci. 15/9-11). In the large intestine, except for absorption of water and</b><br />
<b>some electrolytes, no digestive activity takes place. But this absorption of water makes the</b><br />
<b>remaining undigested material hard and this material is called feces. Due to the activity of</b><br />
<b>bacterial flora, some pungent gases like methane and ammonia are also produced here. These</b><br />
<b>represent ‘Katu’ nature of ‘Vāta’ released during this stage.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiology of Respiratory System</b><br />
<b>Functions in General: ‘Prāna Vāta’ situated at ‘Nābhi’, comes out through the throat to</b><br />
<b>consume a nectar-like substance called ‘Visnupadāmrta’ from the atmosphere. After</b><br />
<b>consuming this nectar of atmosphere, it re-enters the body speedily and nourishes the ‘Jīva’</b><br />
<b>(Śā. Pū. 5/51). Though the site of ‘Prāna Vāta’ is described to be ‘head’ in all earlier</b><br />
<b>textbooks, Śārnńgadhara has described it to be ‘Nābhi’ in this reference. ‘Nābhi’, in Samskrta</b><br />
<b>language, just means ‘a center’. So, this is indicative of a particular center in the head.</b><br />
<b>‘Raktam jīva iti sthitih’ is the opinion of Suśruta and this means that the terms ‘Jīva’ and</b><br />
<b>‘Rakta’ are synonyms. So, when translated with this background, the above verse gives the</b><br />
<b>following meaning: “Because of the activity of ‘Prāna Vāta’ that is situated in brain, a nectarlike</b><br />
<b>substance is consumed through the act of respiration. This substance in turn, nourishes</b><br />
<b>the ‘Jīva’ (Blood).” This nectar-like substance must be oxygen. Nervous control of</b><br />
<b>respiration and transportation of oxygen through blood also can be inferred from this</b><br />
<b>reference.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Lung – Phupphusa: On the left inferior aspect of the heart, ‘Plīhā’ (spleen) is situated and</b><br />
<b>on its left side there is ‘Phupphusa’ (Left lung). On right side, the corresponding organs</b><br />
<b>situated are ‘Yakrt’ (Liver) and ‘Kloma’ (Right lung) respectively (Su. Śā. 4/31). Suśruta has</b><br />
<b>used two different terms to mean left and right lungs- ‘Phupphusa’ for left lung and ‘Kloma’</b><br />
<b>for right lung. This conclusion is drawn because of the fact that the term ‘Phupphusa’ has not</b><br />
<b>been used in its plural form.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiology of Cardiovascular System</b><br />
<b>Cardiovascular system (‘Rasavaha Srotas’) originates at heart and ten great vessels attached</b><br />
<b>to it(Ca. Vi. 5/7). Ten vessels may be indicating two venae cavae (superior and inferior), one</b><br />
<b>aorta, four pulmonary veins, one pulmonary trunk and two coronary arteries- as all these are</b><br />
<b>directly connected to heart.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Contents of Cardiovascular Compartment: The term ‘Rasa’ stands for all circulating</b><br />
<b>fluids in the body including the fluid portion of blood (Cakrapāni on Ca.Ci. 15/36). ‘Rasa’ is</b><br />
<b>also the minutest and essential fraction of properly digested food. Heart is the site for this</b><br />
<b>‘Rasa’ (Su. Sū. 14/3). This ‘Rasa’ circulates in the body along with ‘Rakta’ (Ātañkadarpana</b><br />
<b>on Mā. Ni. 33/4). Ten great blood vessels connected to heart carry the ‘Rasātmaka Ojas’, on</b><br />
<b>which the whole life process is dependent (A.H. Śā. 3/18). From the above references it is</b><br />
<b>clear that three major substances circulate in the cardiovascular compartment- the first one is</b><br />
<b>‘Rasa’- the liquid nutrient portion of blood (Plasma); the second substance is ‘Rakta’, the</b><br />
<b>oxygen- carrying red material (RBCs); and the third one is ‘Ojas’- the white substance that is</b><br />
<b>responsible for immunity (WBCs).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Autonomic Control of Heart: ‘Vyāna Vāta’ is responsible for the forceful ejection of ‘Rasa</b><br />
<b>Dhātu’ from the heart that later circulates all over the body to perform its function of</b><br />
<b>providing nutrition (Ca. Ci. 15/36 and Su. Ni. 1/17).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Cardio Vascular System is a Closed Circuit: ‘Rasa’ is ejected out of the heart. It is then</b><br />
<b>carried to all parts of the body. The blood vessels called ‘Sirās’ bring it back to the heart (Bh.</b><br />
<b>Sū. 21).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Structure and Functioning of Heart: Appearance of heart is similar to that of an inverted</b><br />
<b>bud of lotus. When the individual is ‘awake’, this lotus blossoms forth and when he is</b><br />
<b>‘asleep’, it closes up (Su. Śā. 4/32). The narrow apex of the heart is directed downwards and</b><br />
<b>broader base is directed upwards when the individual is standing. This observation is</b><br />
<b>reflected in this explanation saying that the heart looks like an inverted bud of lotus. To</b><br />
<b>indicate ‘life’ and ‘death’, the terms ‘awake’ and ‘asleep’ are often used in Sanskrit literature.</b><br />
<b>So, meaning of this statement is that functioning of heart continues till the death of an</b><br />
<b>individual.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Mean Flow Velocity of Blood: The manner, in which ‘Rasa’ moves all over the body, is</b><br />
<b>exactly similar to the manner in which sound, fire and water move (Su.Sū. 4/16). As per the</b><br />
<b>view of different commentators, velocity with which sound moves is greater than that of fire</b><br />
<b>and the velocity of fire is greater than that of water. Therefore, it can be said that this is the</b><br />
<b>explanation of the mean flow velocity of blood which is maximum in the aorta and minimum</b><br />
<b>in the capillaries. This is because the smallest cross-sectional area, which receives the entire</b><br />
<b>output of the blood from heart, is aorta and accordingly, the mean flow velocity is highest in</b><br />
<b>that vessel.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Theories for Microcirculation</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Kedārī – Kulyā Nyāya’: This theory describes different tissues as different fields, which</b><br />
<b>receive water through different channels, which in turn, are connected to a big reservoir of</b><br />
<b>water. Nutrient fluid in this case is ‘Rasa’, which nourishes all tissues through specific</b><br />
<b>channels. This theory explains the importance of pressure-gradient, which determines the</b><br />
<b>flow of fluid into the tissue-spaces as this is similar to the movement of water in the direction</b><br />
<b>of gravitational force in the above example (Cakrapāni on Ca.Ci. 15/16-17).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Khale- Kapota Nyāya’: This theory explains the auto-regulation of blood flow by tissuefactors.</b><br />
<b>Blood flow to each tissue is regulated depending on the metabolic needs of the</b><br />
<b>particular tissue. The example given to explain this theory is that of different pigeons, picking</b><br />
<b>up the grains from the same field and then returning to their original places. Here, the choice</b><br />
<b>regarding the amount of grains purely depends on the need of the individual pigeon</b><br />
<b>(Cakrapāni on Ca.Ci. 15/16-17).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiology of Hemopoietic System</b><br />
<b>The roots of Hemopoietic system are explained to be Liver and Spleen (Ca.Vi. 5/8).</b><br />
<b>Role of liver and spleen in the functioning of hemopoietic system is very important. RBC</b><br />
<b>synthesis occurs in liver and spleen in between 3rd and 5th month of intrauterine life. Liver</b><br />
<b>stores some important hemopoietic factors like Vitamin B-12, folic acid and iron. It produces</b><br />
<b>many clotting factors also. Cells of monocyte-macrophage system destroy RBCs in the spleen</b><br />
<b>after they complete their life span.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Role of Bone Marrow: In the cavities of larger bones ‘Majjā’ is present whereas in the</b><br />
<b>smaller ones it is ‘Sarakta Meda’(Su. Śā. 4/10). This ‘Sarakta Meda’ is indicative of Red</b><br />
<b>bone marrow.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Formation of Bilirubin: Byproduct of metabolism of ‘Rakta’ is ‘Pitta’.(Ca. Ci. 15/18). This</b><br />
<b>‘Pitta’ is Bilirubin, the product of hemoglobin metabolism. This is formed in the monocytemacrophage</b><br />
<b>system, mainly in the spleen.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Hyperbilirubinemia: When the ‘Pitta’ exceeds its normal levels, there is manifestation of</b><br />
<b>symptoms like yellowish discoloration of feces, urine, eyes and skin (A.H. Sū. 11/7). When</b><br />
<b>the total serum bilirubin level exceeds 2mg/dl, usually there is manifestation of clinical</b><br />
<b>jaundice.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Endocrinology and Metabolism</b><br />
<b>Normal vision, normal appetite, normal thirst, normal body temperature, normal</b><br />
<b>softness of body parts, normal complexion, normal nourishment and normal intellectual</b><br />
<b>functions- are all the functions of normal ‘Pitta’ (Ca.Sū. 18/50). These parameters are good</b><br />
<b>indicators of many of metabolic activities. For example, impaired Vitamin A metabolism</b><br />
<b>leads to problems in vision. In hyperthyroidism there is excessive hunger and increased body</b><br />
<b>temperature. In diabetes mellitus there is polydypsia and polyphagia. In hypothyroidism,</b><br />
<b>normal softness of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is lost. In Addison’s disease the</b><br />
<b>excessive pigmentation leads to alteration in the complexion. In Cretinism, the mental growth</b><br />
<b>is retarded.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Intermediary Metabolism: The five ‘Agnis’ viz., ‘Bhaumāgni’, ‘Āpyāgni’, ‘Āgneyāgni’,</b><br />
<b>‘Vāyavyāgni’ and ‘Nābhasāgni’ are the causative factors for the metabolism of five groups of</b><br />
<b>respective ingredients of the food. Normally, the specific tissues are nourished from those</b><br />
<b>ingredients of food which are similar to the respective tissues in their composition (Ca. Ci.</b><br />
<b>15/ 13-14). The function of ‘Bhūtāgnis’ is to metabolize the ingredients of food and to ‘sort</b><br />
<b>them out’ into five groups depending on the predominance of particular ‘Mahābhūta’. These</b><br />
<b>functions of ‘Bhūtāgnis’ can be explained through the functions of liver. Basically, whatever</b><br />
<b>is digested and absorbed has to reach liver first and metabolic interconversion of the</b><br />
<b>substances occurs there. For example, plant-derived amino acids can be used to synthesize</b><br />
<b>human proteins, glucose can be converted into glycogen or in to fat, amino acids can be</b><br />
<b>converted into glucose – and so on. ‘Sorting out’ of different substances occurs in liver and</b><br />
<b>that is the function of ‘Bhūtāgnis’ too. After the digestion in gastro intestinal tract is over, the</b><br />
<b>ingredients of food (‘Rasas’) undergo metabolism once again. This metabolic end- product is</b><br />
<b>called ‘Vipāka’(A.H. Sū. 9/20). This indicates that ‘Vipāka’ is the end product of the action</b><br />
<b>of ‘Bhūtāgnis’. In other words to say, ‘Bhūtāgnipāka’ itself produces ‘Vipāka’ and therefore,</b><br />
<b>‘Vipāka’ in general, stands for intermediary metabolism.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Metabolism at the Tissue-Level: Each tissue derives its nutrition through the activity of so</b><br />
<b>called ‘Dhātvagni’. Metabolism at tissue level is dependent on these ‘Dhātvagnis’. Some part</b><br />
<b>of the tissue becomes supportive whereas some part becomes waste after the metabolism at</b><br />
<b>this level (Ca. Ci. 15/15).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Different Metabolic Pathways at Cellular level- ‘Ksīra- Dadhi Nyāya’: This theory</b><br />
<b>speaks of transformation of one substance into another in a particular order through the</b><br />
<b>activity of respective ‘Dhātvagnis’. The example given to state this theory is that of</b><br />
<b>transformation of milk into curd, curd into butter and butter into ghee in the particular order</b><br />
<b>(Cakrapāni on Ca. Ci. 15/16-17). All metabolic pathways like Glycolytic pathway, Kreb’c</b><br />
<b>TCA cyce, β- oxidation pathway, Urea cycle, Gluconeogenesis etc. could be the examples for</b><br />
<b>this type of transformations with the involvement of their specific enzymes.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Metabolic State of a Tissue: ‘Jatharāgni’, though is situated in its own site, has its fractions</b><br />
<b>situated at the tissues. If these fractions become over active, there will be ‘Ksaya’</b><br />
<b>(Catabolism) of ‘Dhātu’ and if they become depressed, there will be abnormal ‘Vrddhi’ of</b><br />
<b>‘Dhātu’ (A. H. Sū. 11/34). In fact, several classical hemocrine hormones determine the</b><br />
<b>metabolic state of a tissue. For example, many amino acids circulating in the blood stream are</b><br />
<b>taken up by muscles and they are utilized to synthesize muscle proteins under the influence of</b><br />
<b>thyroxin, growth hormone, insulin and testosterone. So, these hormones can be grouped</b><br />
<b>under ‘Māmsa Dhātvagni’. If thyroid hormone levels increase in the blood, there is muscle</b><br />
<b>wasting and loss of weight due to ‘Māmsa Ksaya’. Similarly, Calcitonin, parathormone and</b><br />
<b>Vitamin D3 can be included under ‘Asthidhātvagni’. In hyper parathyroidism, osteoporosis or</b><br />
<b>‘Asthiksaya’ is evident.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physiological Effects of Normal Metabolism: At the end of ‘Bhūtāgnipāka’, three groups of</b><br />
<b>metabolites are formed: ‘Madhura’, ‘Amla’ and ‘Katu’. ‘Guru’ (Heavy) is another name for</b><br />
<b>‘Madhura’ whereas ‘Laghu’ (Light) includes remaining two i.e., ‘Amla’ and ‘Katu’. These</b><br />
<b>groups are called ‘Vipākas’. ‘Madhura Vipāka’ promotes the synthesis of reproductive factor</b><br />
<b>and promotes the excretion of feces and urine. ‘Amla Vipāka’ opposes the formation of</b><br />
<b>reproductive factor and promotes the excretion of urine and feces. ‘Katu Vipāka’, on the</b><br />
<b>other hand, opposes the synthesis of reproductive factor and causes retention of urine and</b><br />
<b>feces. Effects of ‘Vipāka’ on the formation of ‘Dosas’ are as follows: ‘Madhura Vipāka’</b><br />
<b>promotes ‘Kapha’, ‘Amla Vipāka’ promotes ‘Pitta’ and ‘Katu Vipāka’ promotes the</b><br />
<b>formation of ‘Vāta’(Ca. Sū. 26/61,62). Effects of this stage of metabolism may be of</b><br />
<b>manifold. Some products may be used for tissue synthesis whereas the others may be used for</b><br />
<b>the purpose of energy. Anabolic effects may be called ‘Guru’ and catabolic ones, ‘Laghu’.</b><br />
<b>Again, ‘Dosas’ synthesized here are of ‘Dhāturūpi’ type (‘Malarūpi Dosas’ are formed</b><br />
<b>during ‘Avasthāpāka’).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Importance of Normal Metabolism: ‘Agni’ itself is present in the body in the form of Pitta.</b><br />
<b>When it is normal, it performs the functions like maintenance of normal digestion, normal</b><br />
<b>vision, normal body temperature, normal complexion, valor, happiness and nutrition. When it</b><br />
<b>is abnormal, all these functions also will be abnormal (Ca.Sū. 12/11). Other functions of</b><br />
<b>endocrine system are described under the functions of ‘Pitta’.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Concept of ‘Pitta’: ‘Pitta’ includes all those factors responsible for digestion and</b><br />
<b>metabolism. For all practical purposes, ‘Agni’ & ‘Pitta’ are to be considered as identical</b><br />
<b>entities (Su. Su. 21/9, Ca.Sū. 12/11).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Pācaka Pitta’: ‘Pācaka Pitta’ is equivalent to ‘Jatharāgni’ (A.H. Sū. 12/11). As its functions</b><br />
<b>suggest, all enzymes responsible for digestion along with all gastrointestinal hormones and</b><br />
<b>all local hormones of G.I.T. are to be included in it.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Rañjaka Pitta’: It is responsible for synthesis of ‘Rakta’. It is situated in stomach</b><br />
<b>(‘Amāśaya’) according to Vāgbhata and the sites are liver and spleen according to Suśruta.</b><br />
<b>Gastric intrinsic factor is the best candidate to represent Vāgbhata’ s view, as it is required for</b><br />
<b>the absorption of Vitamin B12, which in turn is needed for DNA synthesis of RBC precursors</b><br />
<b>in bone marrow.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Bhrājaka Pitta’: As is known, pigmentation of skin is under the control of some hormones</b><br />
<b>like ACTH & MSH from anterior pituitary. Some enzymes in the skin responsible for the</b><br />
<b>metabolism of certain drugs applied topically also can be considered under ‘Bhrājaka Pitta’</b><br />
<b>along with the hormones controlling pigmentation.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Sādhaka Pitta’: All functions ascribed to this ‘Pitta’are of cerebrum, limbic system,</b><br />
<b>hypothalamus and other CNS structures. For motivation and other psychosocial behaviors</b><br />
<b>Norepinephrine is a very essential neurotransmitter in the brain. Incidentally, it also acts on</b><br />
<b>heart as a cardiac stimulant. During emergency situations it is released from adrenal medulla</b><br />
<b>and it helps for “fight or flight phenomenon”.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>‘Alocaka Pitta’: This is said to be responsible for normal vision. Photosensitive chemicals in</b><br />
<b>the eye, called Photo-pigments and the whole process involved in photochemistry of vision</b><br />
<b>can be represented by ‘Alocaka pitta’. Also, neurotransmitters involved in the visual pathway</b><br />
<b>can be included under this.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Immune System</b><br />
<b>General Functions:</b> When the Ślesma (Kapha) is in normal state, it is called ‘Bala’ as well<br />
as ‘<b>Ojas’</b>; but when it attains an abnormal state, it is then called ‘Mala’ (Waste) and ‘Pāpmā’<br />
(Disease) (Ca.Sū. 27/117). From the above statement it is clear that ‘Bala’, ‘Ojas’ and<br />
‘Kapha’ are identical entities, at least when ‘Kapha’ is in normal state. When ‘Kapha’ is in its<br />
normal state, it provides compactness, stability, virility, immunity and resistance (Ca.Sū. 18/<br />
51).<br />
<br />
<b>Importance:</b> The most essential fraction of all bodily tissues is called ‘Ojas’. Eventhough it<br />
resides in the heart, it circulates all over the body to maintain the normal healthy status of the<br />
body. It is ‘Snigdha’ (unctuous) and ‘Somātmaka’ (mild and cool) in nature. Though<br />
predominantly white in colour, it has got some yellowish and reddish tinge. If this is lost, life<br />
also is lost and if this remains intact, life continues (A. H. Sū. 11/37-38).<br />
‘Ojas’ has been described to exist in different forms in the body. The fraction of<br />
‘Ojas’ that circulates all over the body through the cardiovascular system, moves along with<br />
‘Rasa Dhātu’. This is called ‘Rasātmaka Ojas’. Another form of ‘Ojas’, is present in all<br />
tissues and is called ‘Dhātutejorūpi’. This indicates the immune mechanisms present at<br />
tissue-level. A third form of ‘Ojas’ is ‘Śukra mala rūpi’. This enters the fetus to provide<br />
protection to the fetus during intrauterine life. Another form of ‘Ojas’ is described as<br />
‘Jivaśonita rūpi’ (Hemādri on A.H. Sū 11/37-38).<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Classification of Immunity:</b> Immunity is classified in to three types: Innate (Sahaja),<br />
Acquired (Kālaja) and Artificial (Yukti krta) (Ca.Sū. 11/36).<br />
Factors Influencing Immunity: The following factors influence the promotion of immunity:<br />
place of birth, time of birth, favorable weather, excellence of genetic qualities, excellence of<br />
properties of food being consumed, excellence of physique, good ability to tolerate various<br />
factors, excellence of mental status, favorable factors related to nature, youthfulness, exercise<br />
and cheerful attitude (Ca. Śā. 6/13).<br />
<br />
<b>Antigen-Exposure and Host Response:</b> Substances, which have opposite qualities to those<br />
of bodily tissues, (when gain entry into the body) encounter the opposition by the bodily<br />
tissues (Ca. Sū. 26/91). Etiological factors, ‘Dosas’, and ‘Dhātus’ determine the bodily<br />
immunity or susceptibility for the disease. When all the three factors do not support each<br />
other or when they are week due to passage of time, either the disease does not manifest at all<br />
or it takes some time in manifestation or the disease is very mild or all its signs and<br />
symptoms are not fully manifested. If the situation is opposite to that is mentioned above, the<br />
corresponding results also will be otherwise (Ca. Ni. 4/4). This means that susceptibility of a<br />
particular tissue to any antigenic attack plays an important role in the manifestation or non<br />
manifestation of a disease. At the same time, the potency of the causative agent also is<br />
important. Virulent strains of infectious agents produce severe symptoms. Along with these<br />
two factors, homeostatic mechanisms also are important. If immune system is normally<br />
functioning, injurious agents will be tackled effectively.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Concept of Active and Passive Immunity</b>: Treatment of the diseases manifested due to the<br />
presence of opposing agents in the body, should be planned either by administering the<br />
substances having opposite qualities to them or by prior sensitization of the body by<br />
administering the similar substances as those of offending agent (Ca. Sū. 26/104). This forms<br />
the basis of active and passive immunity. Prior sensitization of the body with specific antigen<br />
makes one develop active immunity. On the other hand, antibodies can be procured out of an<br />
animal in which active immunity has been already produced, and can be administered to the<br />
individual suffering from the same disease. Other functions of immune system are described<br />
under the functions of ‘Kapha’<br />
.<br />
<b>Concept of ‘Kapha</b>’: Functions of immune system and all such other protective<br />
mechanisms in the body have been grouped under ‘Kapha’ in Ayurveda. ‘Ojas’ is also<br />
closely related with ‘Kapha’.<br />
<br />
‘<b>Avalambaka Kapha</b>’: Situated in the thorax, ‘Avalambaka Kapha’ protects the ‘Trika’ and<br />
other vital structures like heart, through what is called ‘Ambukarma’. Other anatomical sites<br />
where other types of ‘Kapha’ are situated also are dependent on this (A.H. Sū. 12/15-16).<br />
‘Trika’ region indicates the meeting point of three bones. As this is present in thorax, it must<br />
be indicating the junction between the sternum and clavicles, behind which, the thymus gland<br />
is situated. ‘Ambu’ means liquid or water. So, ‘Ambukarma’ must be referring to lymphatic<br />
drainage.<br />
<br />
<b>‘Kledaka Kapha’:</b> This is present in stomach and it moistens the ingested food (A.H. Sū.<br />
12/16-17). Mucous secreted in stomach plays important role in offering protection to mucous<br />
membrane of the stomach along with providing liquid medium for digestive process. Also,<br />
Gut Assosiated Lymphoid Tissue helps in providing protection by preventing the entry of any<br />
microbes through gut. HCl secreted in stomach also provides innate immunity to some extent.<br />
All these mechanisms can be explained through ‘Kledaka Kapha’.<br />
<br />
<b>‘Bodhaka Kapha’</b>: This is said to be present in oral cavity and helps in the perception of<br />
taste. Salivary juice secreted in the oral cavity not only helps in the process of taste<br />
perception but also performs some protective functions. Root of the tongue is the site of<br />
‘Bodhaka Kapha’. Tonsils are the important lymphoid tissue-containing structures present<br />
there.<br />
<br />
<b>‘Tarpaka Kapha’</b>: This sub-type of ‘Kapha’ is present inside the head and is responsible for<br />
the protection and nourishment of sense organs. Microglia and other similar Glial cells of<br />
brain tissue are some of the important entities, which may represent ‘Tarpaka Kapha’.<br />
<br />
‘<b>Ślesaka Kapha’</b>: This Kapha is present in the bony joints and is responsible for lubrication<br />
and easy movements. Movements are most obvious in synovial variety of joints and synovial<br />
fluid reduces the friction between two articular bony surfaces. But ‘Slesaka Kapha’ is not<br />
only synovial fluid. For several reasons known and unknown, these joints are the sites of<br />
prominent inflammation in most of the systemic autoimmune diseases like Systemic<br />
Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid arthritis. Such involvement must<br />
be, therefore, ascribed to the problems of ‘Ślesaka Kapha’.<br />
<br />
<b>Physiology of Male Reproductive System</b><br />
The roots of ‘Śukravaha Srotas’ are the testicles and penis (Ca. Vi. 5/10). Testicles<br />
synthesize the hormone testosterone and also they are the sites of spermatogenesis. Penis is<br />
the male copulatory organ through which the seminal fluid is deposited in the female<br />
reproductive tract. The factor, which is responsible for the formation of ‘Garbha’ (embryo), is<br />
known as ‘Śukra’ (Ca.Śā. 2/4). ‘Śukra’ is distributed all over the body in the same manner in<br />
which the fat in the milk and juice in the sugar cane plant are distributed (Ca.Ci. 2/46). Also,<br />
this is present in males and females. All hormones of hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis can<br />
thus be included under the term ‘Śukra’. In some references, ‘Śukra’ stands for only semen.<br />
Fatty portion of ‘Majjā’ forms ‘Śukra’. This ‘Śukra’ comes out of bones through the<br />
pores created by ‘Vāyu’ and ‘Ākāśa Mahābhūtas’. As if the water oozing out of new mud pot,<br />
‘Śukra’ also oozes out of these pores and then circulates all over the body through<br />
‘Śukravaha Srotāmsi’ (Ca.Ci. 15/32-33). ‘Majjā’ stands for even brain substance. ‘Mastakamajjā’<br />
is the term given to indicate brain by Dalhana, the commentator of Suśruta Samhitā,<br />
while commenting on Su.Śā.10/42. Hypothalamus secretes GnRH and Hypothalamohypophysial<br />
portal system carries this to the anterior pituitary. Anterior pituitary, in response<br />
to GnRH, secretes FSH and LH into the blood stream. These hormones then circulate all over<br />
the body and stimulate ovaries and testicles to secrete their own hormones.<br />
<br />
<b>Ejaculation:</b> When the person gets excited because of the sexual urge, determination and<br />
romantic mental attitude, ‘Śukra’ comes out through the urethra (with which the bladder is<br />
connected) as if the melted ghee. This occurs because of the heat produced by the physical<br />
exertion during copulation. The simile given to describe this process is the flow of water from<br />
a place of lower altitude to a place of higher altitude (Ca.Ci. 15/34-35). Generalized<br />
sympathetic stimulation is an essential feature of sexual activity. Erection requires<br />
parasympathetic stimulation whereas ejaculation is dependent on sympathetic one. Also,<br />
ejaculation is brought about by ‘Apāna Vāta’, which represents the sympathetic activity in<br />
this case.<br />
<br />
<b>Physical properties of Semen:</b> The semen is ‘Snigdha’ (unctuous), dense, slimy, sweet, nonirritating<br />
(mild), and white just like a piece of alum crystal (Ca.Ci. 30/145-146).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Physiology of Female Reproductive System</b><br />
Menstrual blood (‘Raja’) also is a derivative of ‘Rasa’ only. Menstruation occurs in females<br />
once in every month and lasts for about three days. This process of menstrual cycle begins at<br />
the age of twelve years and stops at about fifty years of age (Su.Sū. 14/6). During the act of<br />
copulation, production of ‘Śukra’ occurs in females also; and it should not be thought that it<br />
is of no use in the process of production of embryo i.e., it is also of definite use (A.S.<br />
Śā.1/72). Features of ‘Rakta’ and ‘Ārtava’ are similar. ‘Ārtava’ is responsible for the<br />
production of embryo (Su. Sū. 15/5). ‘Rakta’ and ‘Ārtava’ are similar functionally. This is<br />
because the function of ‘Rakta’ is to ‘Give life’ (‘Jivana’) and the function of ‘Ārtava’ also is<br />
to give life to a new individual (embryo). So, ‘Ārtava’ means ovum in this context. This<br />
‘Ārtava’, after getting nourished over the period of a month, enters (the uterus and then)<br />
vagina through the specialized structures called ‘Dhamanis’ meant for the transportation of<br />
the same. ‘Vāta’ is responsible for this movement of ‘Ārtava’(Su.Śā. 3/10). This is the<br />
explanation regarding the process of ovum entering the uterus through the Fallopian tube. If<br />
not fertilized, it is shed off through menstrual fluid.<br />
<br />
<b>Physiology of Lactation:</b> Breast-milk is formed out of ‘Rasa Dhātu’ (Ca. Ci. 15/17). The<br />
essential nutrient fraction of ‘Rasa Dhātu’, enters the breasts from the entire body and it is<br />
known as ‘Stanya’ (Su. Ni. 10/18).<br />
<b>Development of Breasts</b>: Ducts in the breast tissue of non-pregnant women are narrow and<br />
are constricted. During pregnancy and after delivery they get dilated as a natural<br />
phenomenon (Su. Ni. 10/16-17).<br />
<b>Various Stimuli for Milk Letdown:</b> Breast-milk is originally formed from the essential<br />
fraction of food. It is ejected out of breasts because of touch, sight and even because of mere<br />
remembrance of the baby. Uninterrupted love of mother towards her baby is the cause of its<br />
flow (Su. Ni. 10/12-13). Emotions, touch or even sight of the baby cause the hypothalamus<br />
of mother to release oxytocin stored in the posterior pituitary. This causes the myo-epithelial<br />
cells surrounding the glandular apparatus to contract and exert a squeezing effect, thus<br />
allowing the milk to flow.<br />
<br />
<b>Urinary System</b><br />
The abode of urine called ‘Mūtrāśaya’ supports the wastes of the body and is one of<br />
the very important vital structures in the body. Minute ‘Nādīs’ (specialized structures meant<br />
for transportation) arising from the large intestine, carry the urine continuously and contribute<br />
in the urine formation. This process is just similar to the manner in which many small<br />
tributaries and rivers contribute their water to the ocean. Openings of these ‘Nādīs’ cannot be<br />
traced out because of their minuteness and huge number. Because of this urine, carried by<br />
these ‘Nādīs’ from the proximity of stomach, ‘Basti’ (urinary bladder) gets filled up<br />
continuously throughout the day and night through the process of filtration. This process is<br />
similar to the fashion in which a new earthen pot kept immersed in the water up to its neck<br />
gets filled up (by the water) after some time through its sides (Su. Ni. 3/20-24). ‘Mūtrāśaya’<br />
in the above reference has been told to be very vital, and therefore, definitely is indicative of<br />
kidneys, from a functional point of view. Suśruta probably knew the role of kidneys in the<br />
formation of urine. He probably also had observed that there exists some relationship<br />
between water intake and urine formation. The fact that increased water intake results in<br />
increased urinary output must have been the reason for this observation. Also, decrease in the<br />
urinary output observed in the persons suffering from diarrhea or vomiting might have been<br />
another reason. So, he proposed the existence of invisible minute channels connecting GIT<br />
and urinary tract. This prediction is not totally wrong because cardiovascular system<br />
definitely connects both these systems. Water is absorbed from the gut into the venous<br />
circulation and this is carried to the kidneys through the arterial system. Also, the capillaries<br />
at Gut and glomerulus are definitely microscopic. The example of mud pot in the above<br />
explanation indicates the role of filtration played by the kidneys in the formation of urine.<br />
Thousands of ‘Nādīs’ taking part in the process of filtration may stand for nephrons from a<br />
functional point of view.curesure Mohamadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10142823112521329519noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218302379088910162.post-63289587634168654002010-01-02T20:27:00.000-08:002010-01-02T20:27:14.215-08:00dinacharya & ritucharya<b>Ayurveda in DailyLife</b><br />
<b>Dinacharya</b><br />
In order to keep the tridoshas in a state of healthy equlibrium and digestion &<br />
metabolism (agni) in proper order, Ayurveda prescribes for each individual a<br />
specific daily routine ( dina – day & acharya – behaviour). The various stages to this<br />
daily routine, influenced by the specifics of your prakriti, that will enable you to<br />
make the most out of your life, are :<br />
<b>Arising</b><br />
Since our biological clocks are attuned to the rising and setting of the sun, it is<br />
obviously better to awake at sunrise in perfect synchronization to<br />
the natural clock. An ideal time to let the body cells soak in the<br />
strength of a tempered sun to be charged for the day. Drinking a<br />
glass of Luke-warm water helps flush out all toxins accumulated<br />
overnight in the body.<br />
<b>Natural Urges</b><br />
The last portion of the night being ruled by vata – involved in the process of<br />
elimination – dawn is the best time to eliminate the body's physical waste. Proper<br />
elimination also helping remove the kapha that naturally accumulates overnight.<br />
Defecation once or twice daily is the best. Preferably not immediately after a meal.<br />
But urination then is wise. Examine your eliminations each morning and if you notice<br />
any disturbance indicating poor digestion, go on a fast. It will allow the body rest to<br />
correct the system before disease sets in. Never suppress the natural physical urges<br />
as elimination, hunger, thirst, sleep, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, flatus and<br />
ejaculation, for it will lead to discomfort and even disease.<br />
<b>Cleanliness</b><br />
Thorough washing of the limbs, face, mouth, eyes & nose purifies the body’s sense<br />
organs. Best done with a bath in clean water, it should accompany<br />
brushing of the teeth (should be repeated after every meal), scraping<br />
off a tunicate coating of ama from the tongue, occasional gargling of<br />
salt water with a pinch of turmeric to keep gums, mouth & throat<br />
healthy, proper cleaning of the nose and the ears and washing the<br />
eyes with warm water held in mouth for moments (saliva being very<br />
good for the eyes). Keep your hair trimmed, nails filed and wear clean<br />
clothes. Feel free to use perfumes in moderation and feel good.<br />
<b>Exercise</b><br />
Either passive like massage or active like aerobics or both as in yoga postures,<br />
regular exercise increases the body's stamina and resistance to disease by<br />
facilitating the immune system, clearing all channels, promoting circulation & waste<br />
disposal, and destroying fat. Done regularly, it can reduce anxiety but become<br />
addictive. Depending on age & body type, kaphas can go for heavy<br />
exercises, pittas should do it in moderation and vatas should<br />
perform yoga and not aerobics. Never exert more than half your<br />
capacity, during illness, just after a meal and without rhythmic<br />
breathing. Swimming, walking and even laughing is excellent<br />
options.<br />
<b>Massage</b><br />
Necessary for every person, a regular self-massage with herbal oils is usually<br />
adequate but needs to be supplemented with professional attention<br />
occasionally. It makes the skin supple, controls vata by reducing its<br />
cold, dry, light, rough & erratic qualities, enhances blood circulation,<br />
encourages quicker removal of metabolic wastes and relaxes the<br />
body. Follow the normal direction of hair growth, use a little extra<br />
oil over the body's vital parts, massage the scalp and head at least weekly and just<br />
the soles of your feet if short of time.<br />
<b>Meditation</b><br />
Ideal for disciplining the mind and removing stress & strain, it is best done after a<br />
quick bath to cleanse yourself. Critical in satisfying the mind's hunger, when done<br />
well it is so nourishing that even the body can survive on less. Control of<br />
desire, or mental hunger, is the key to longevity and immortality.<br />
Anything can be meditation so long it is sincere and heartfelt. The<br />
simplest and healthiest involves the sun and its golden colour is deemed<br />
the most nourishing and productive.<br />
While this routine acts as a critical shield of defence against the<br />
destabilising influences of an external environment, by using selective<br />
choice in some of the other factors mentioned below you can easily improve upon<br />
the condition of your total health.<br />
<b>Clothing</b><br />
In shielding from extreme temperatures, it tends to reflect the temperament of the<br />
wearer in a society showing growing preponderance of the same. Should always be<br />
light & airy, and made of natural fibres as cotton, wool, linen or silk.<br />
Always wear clean, and never anyone else's except that of a saint.<br />
Since energy is brought into the body through the crown of the head<br />
and exits from the soles of the feet – extracting abnormal heat from<br />
the system – the polluted energy usually collects in the footwear. So<br />
<br />
Kaphas in turn prefer birds, the avian's light chirpiness helping offset some of the<br />
dosha's natural ponderousness. For some large dogs prove beneficial as the canine<br />
encourages them to exercise along with.<br />
Choice of Partner<br />
Ayurvedic wisdom suggests that like types make better mates because of similar<br />
mental processes, attitudes and sexual proclivities. Unfortunately,<br />
two people of similar dispositions are likely to have the same defects<br />
too. Choosing the right partner who will stimulate, inspire you to<br />
evolve into better individual thus becomes very important.<br />
<b>Sleep</b><br />
A state of physical inertia with mental relaxation, sleep promotes proper growth of<br />
the self. Night is the natural time to sleep and mid-day catnaps should not be more<br />
than 15 minutes long except for the very young, very old, very weak and those<br />
intoxicated, diseased, exhausted or traumatised. Avoid having a full meal just before<br />
retiring to bed. Sleeping on the right side is the most relaxing<br />
and good for yoga. On the left, it is most digestive and increases<br />
interest in food, sleep and sex. Sleeping on the back indirectly<br />
and on the stomach directly encourages disease. Sleeping with<br />
crown of the head facing east and feet into the west promotes<br />
best meditative sleep. Washing the hands, feet & face just<br />
before improves sleep. Never sleep in the kitchen and go to bed only to sleep. 6 to 8<br />
hours of daily sleep is essential. The ideal form of sleep is yoga – a state of complete<br />
physical inertness with retention of mental alertness & awareness.<br />
<br />
<b>Ritucharya</b><br />
Given that the term prakriti denotes both body constitution and nature, it is only<br />
expected that with the changing seasons of nature there will be corresponding<br />
effects on the bhutas and thereby the doshas of the constitution. Cold, dry weather<br />
for instance enhances vata, hot humid climate increases pitta, while cold, wet<br />
weather aggravates kapha.<br />
To avoid such continued aggravation leading to imbalance of the doshas, Ayurveda<br />
prescribes a seasonal routine to preserve the doshic balance as the seasons change.<br />
For each season therefore, there is a unique diet (ahar), a distinct mode of living<br />
(vihara) and routine living (karya). These keep your doshas in a state of<br />
equilibrium and help you cope with the stresses and strains of changing seasons.<br />
In Ayurvedic literature the year is divided into six ritus (seasons) – varsha<br />
(monsoon), sharada (autumn), hemanta (winter), shishira (late winter),<br />
girshma (summer) and vasanta (spring). The effects of these ritus on the three<br />
doshas and the suggested lifestyle for each is as indicatedcuresure Mohamadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10142823112521329519noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218302379088910162.post-68888711730883231412010-01-02T09:08:00.000-08:002010-01-02T09:08:03.351-08:00GENERAL RULES TO BE PRESCRIBED FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL-AS PER AYURVEDA<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 116.1pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">GENERAL RULES TO BE PRESCRIBED FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL:<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

This difference in the proportion of Mahabhuta influences the properties of the milk. More of Pruthvi & Jala Mahabhuta are the causative factors of ‘Kapha dosha’ and hence buffalo’s milk increase the ‘kapha dosha’ in the body. Because of this increase in kapha dosha it enhances the sleep & controls excessive appetite. On the other hand because of the proportionate composition of gunas & the balance of Panchamahadhutas the cow milk is described as the best<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rejuvenator & also it delights the mind. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Jeevanam is a synonym for water which means life. Life could not exist on this planet without water. For an Ayurveda physician water is not only an essential nutrient but is one among the five basic elements essential for the creation of this universe. It is Jalamahabhoot i.e water element.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

According to caraka water is the basis of taste. Water is basically tasteless but as soon as it falls from the sky gets endowed with the properties of the five elements, or comes in contact with other substances & taste appears in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>water.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

He further says that water while falling down from sky & coming in contact with the moon the air & the sun which follows time, gets impregnated with the properties of cold, hot, unctuous, non unctuous etc. & so on, as<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it rests on the ground. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

But when water falls on earth its properties change according to the soil on which it has fallen. In white soil it becomes astringent, in pale it becomes bitter, in brown alkaline, in usara i.e red saline, in hilly area pungent, & in black soil it becomes sweet.

(According to modern science the water agitated & beaten by the big stones in the bed of the river contains more oxygen).

Suppression of thirst gives rise to dryness of throat & mouth, deafness, fatigue, depression & cardiac pain. For which cold & gratifying drinks are recommended.

Menstruation is caused by the sun absorbing energies from the earth, which in turn draws the menstrual waste from the body.

Winter changes to spring, almost at the very height of the northernly phase of the sun, when strength and vigor tend to become depleted by the sun’s harshness. The softening out of liquid waste in the body retards both the digestive fire and the body’s metabolism, which is why Kapha’s potential listlessness and lethargy increase. The gap before the full bloom of the spring season is the best time of the year for the kapha dosha to be thoroughly cleansed by means of both the elimination therapies and rejuvenative therapies. These processes relieve the excess dosha when it is in its most fluid form and not yet rooted in the body in the form of disease. Kapha then has plenty of time to mobilize during the remaining season and does not cause obstruction in the channels.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Here, we must understand the interplay between the doshas and the seasonal influences within the primacy of the five elements. The doshas are not simply the dynamic energy within the body; rather they are influenced primarily by seasonal variations. Knowledge of the seasons is related to the balancing of the doshas.

This is because in summer the pungent taste prevails out of the six tastes.(According to the seasonal accumulation of the doshas, in summers there is decrease of kapha and the pungent taste also causes decrease in kapha and increase of vata which may lead to vata/kapha disorders) <o:p></o:p></span><br />

As the earth makes its annual voyage around the sun, we also experience six distinct phases called the seasons. The northern and southern movements of the sun are created mainly by the earth’s relationship to the sun and the moon. The northward movement of the sun, known as <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">adanakala</i></b> in Sanskrit, begins with the winter and ends before the beginning of summer. The southern movements start at the summer solstice and ends at the winter solstice and is known as visargakala.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Also the wind conjugates with the sun, adding to the harsh nature pervading the three seasons in this phase. During this half of the year the body tends to be weakened by the sun absorbing its moisture and humidity.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

From late winter, in mid-January, the absorbing effects of the sun and wind increase progressively until their culmination in mid-June, when the sun’s southward movement across the earth commences. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

The stupendous powers of the sun begin to slacken as a result of the course of the earth’s movement, cloud formation, and the presence of wind and rain.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

At dawn, when the sun is about to rise, the dry, cold, mobile aspects of Vata, gathered through the night, are prevalent. At daybreak, the cool and heavy energy of Kapha begins to flow out of the body as we rise from rest. At midday, when the sun is at its peak and saps the body with its heat, Pitta prevails. In the early afternoon, as the sun’s energy begins to wane, the dry, cold energy of Vata once more dominates. At sunset, when the sun has descended on the horizon, Kapha begins to pour back into the body to induce the body to rest. Finally, at midnight, when the sun is farthest away from the earth, Pitta once more prevails</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

These keep your doshas in a state of equilibrium and help you cope with the stresses and strains of changing seasons.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

An ideal time to let the body cells soak in the strength of a tempered sun to be charged for the day. It increases the life span of an individual and helps maintain the equilibrium of doshas in once body. Drinking a glass of Luke-warm water helps flush out all toxins accumulated overnight in the body.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Proper elimination also helps remove the <b><i>kapha</i></b> that naturally accumulates overnight. Defecation once or twice daily is the best.

Ayurveda advocates sexual intercourse after marriage in the form of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">gruhastha ashram</i> but here also excessive indulgence is prohibited as it leads to loss of physical strength, memory, lack of vitality, increases irritability (because of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>loss of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">oja</i></b> ,which is produced after considerable amount of sperm is stored in the body) and disturbs the normal physiological functions of the body by causing a dis-equilibrium of the three doshas.

Ayurveda believes in the principle where excess in any walk of life be it food, sleep or sex causes harm to the body. All of this emphasize on the regulated functioning of the three triads i.e food, sleep & sex <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>curesure Mohamadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10142823112521329519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218302379088910162.post-58019387123378593082010-01-02T09:00:00.000-08:002010-01-02T09:00:18.976-08:00PRAKRUTHI-AYURVEDIC BODY TYPES-FULL DETAILS<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-hyphenate: none;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Ayurvedic Body Types<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

These guidelines enable us to live wisely on the earth while safeguarding our health. From the three doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, seven body types were originally identified. Our body type, which is determined at birth is our constitutional nature, our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">prakriti</i>. This prakriti is derived from the particular combinations and permutations of the five elements in the sperm and ovum that exist during conception (ref to the chart below). Once birth has made its elemental imprint, we cannot alter it without adversely affecting our balance of well-being. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

This means that every individual has within himself the dynamic forces of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The difference between individuals is the degree to which the three doshas interact with one another within each body type. Only our physio-psychological aspects change, influenced as they are by social, environmental, and cultural factors operating in our lives, and as well as by our personal choices. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

These were Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Sama, Vata-Kapha, Vata-Pitta, and Pitta-Kapha. The first three types occur in their pure from very rarely, so seldom is it that anyone is primarily influenced by one dosha alone. Even more infrequent is the Sama dosha (all three doshas in balance).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More common are the combination body types, referred to as dual prakriti, i.e. Vata-Kapha, Vata-Pitta, and Pitta-Kapha. In more recent times, these three dual types have been expanded to include six dual types. By reversing the two doshas within each dual type and considering it a separate type, i.e. Kapha-Vata, Pitta-Vata, Kapha-Pitta. A person who has both Vata and Pitta dominant may, therefore, be either a Vata-Pitta or Pitta-Vata type, depending on which of the two doshas is more dominant. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Six week after making the necessary changes in your diet and daily activities and doing the cleansing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as given in the forthcoming pages, re’-do the Body Type chart.

Choose at least one from each section. Ask a spouse, parent, or friend to assist you with the Emotional Characteristics portion of the assessment so that your choices will be as objective as possible. Men are advised to seek the assistance of a women – a spouse, a friend, or mother – for both the Physical Characteristics and Emotional Characteristics section of the chart. Then, moving down each of the three columns, count how many characteristics you circled for each body type. Which ever column yields the highest score indicated your Ayurvedic body type. For example, if your scores are 15 for Vata, 12 for Pitta and 5 for Kapha, then your Ayurvedic body type is Vata/Pitta.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The diagnosis of all diseases is based on which of the individual doshas are compromised and which channels are obstructed. An excess of any one dosha can create a spill-over effect in the body. Thus, a disease originating from one vitiated dosha is able to travel through the channels to the site of another dosha. Dosha excesses can also create blockages in the channels, thereby obstructing their normal flow. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Impairment of these channels is due to regular intake of heavy, greasy foods, excessive sleep, sleeping after meals, and sedentary lifestyle. The symptoms of vitiation are usually benign tumors produced by the muscular system, tonsillitis, a swollen uvula, hemorrhoids, and swelling of the thyroid glands and adenoids. The emotional symptoms are lack of mental clarity and nervous tension. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

In Ayurveda, the marrow is not only the matter found in the bone encasement (called white and red marrow), but is also found in the brain and spinal cord. Impairment of the bones and joints is generally caused by consumption of uneasy combination foods, such as the use of animal foods with milk, or hot and cold substances taken together, trauma and injury, which, in turn, affect the bone marrow. The symptoms of vitiation are fainting, dizziness, loss of memory, blackouts, and compound abscesses.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

They evacuate feces from the body. Vitiation of these channels is caused by weak digestive fire, eating before the previous meal is digested, suppression of defecation, and ingesting food of opposite quality. The symptoms of affliction are usually diarrhea, constipation, or excessively hard stools. The emotional symptoms are execessive attachment, dullness, and fear. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Affliction of these channels is caused by excessive activity, heat, spicy foods, acidic foods, excessive alcohol, other addictive substances, grief, fear and anger. The symptoms of vitiation are excess perspiration or no perspiration, rough and dry skin, burning sensation of the skin, aggressiveness, or dullness.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Modern Dietetic consideration is only related to body. But it is a uniqueness of Yogashastra and Ayurveda which shows intimate relationship between diet and mind. Both the sciences assert with proofs that diet affects mentality of a human being. Satva (virtue), Raja (Aggressive desire) and Tama (Ignorant sloth) are the basic qualities of mind. Satvaguna is always strengthening, invigorating and vitalising. Satvaguna expresses essence, understanding, purity, clarity, compassion and love. Rajoguna implies movement, aggressiveness and extroversion and it operates on a sensual level. Tamoguna manifests ignorance, inertia, heaviness and dullness. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Rajoguna and Tamoguna are negative attributes which destabilise and weaken the mind. Yet all the three attributes are required of course in a balanced state and having a strong control of satvaguna are necessary for normal functioning of the mind. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Yoga becomes the destroyer of all woes and sorrows and can be accomplished only by him who is regulated and moderate in diet and recreation, regulated in speech and actions, and regulated in thinking and sleeping too.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

For example, the sweet taste has a cooling energy, due to its heaviness. This action provokes <b><i>kapha</i></b> and is pleasing to <b><i>pitta</i></b><i> </i>and <b><i>vata</i></b>. But there are occasional exceptions to this rule. Honey<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sweet but have heating energy.

For example, of the six tastes, the pungent flavour naturally predominates during the summer; although considered a generally good all-year taste for Kapha types, it needs to be used in the summer season with discretion. This is because in summer the pungent taste prevails out of the six tastes.(According to the seasonal accumulation of the doshas, in summers there is decrease of kapha and the pungent taste also causes decrease in kapha and increase of vata which may lead to vata/kapha disorders) <o:p></o:p></span><br />

With every taste having a different action – as detailed below. <b><i>Astanga Hrdayam</i></b> clearly describes the characteristics of each of the six tastes and problems that might be experienced from its habitual over-consumption. Most foods being a combination of two or more of these tastes e.g. coffee is bitter and pungent.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-hyphenate: none;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">When the body’s digestive fire is not adequate, foods remain undigested and unabsorbed in the intestinal tract, and ama is the result. Foul-odour and sticky, ama clogs the intestines and other channels of the body, including its blood vessels. Ama prevents the colon in its attempt to carry out its primary functions like extracting the vital force, or prana, from the digested foods. Ama undergoes a multitude of chemical changes, gradually creating toxins, which are released into the bloodstream. As mentioned earlier if the main digestive fire vitiates, so do the seven other fires (dhatwagni) on the cellular (tissue) level, thus creating ama in the tissues. Excess dosha and toxins (from ama) form a sinister team as they travel through different channels (as mentioned in the next topic) with great rapidity to a weakened (disease prone/vulnerable) part of the body. Through its toxicity, ama elicits a negative immune reaction in the body’s tissues until, finally, disease manifests in these organs. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-hyphenate: none;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All internal diseases begin with ama’s presence in the body, and all externally created diseases eventually produce ama. In addition to obstructing the body’s channels, ama causes a deterioration in our strength and energy levels. It reduces rasa, inducing lethargy and fatigue. Equally crippling to the system is mental ama, gathered through misperception and disturbed emotions. Greed, selfishness, possessiveness, stubbornness, anger, and excessive desires become mental pollutants, are also ama. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-hyphenate: none;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">An early sign of ama in the body is a sticky coating on the tongue. In Kapha types*, the coating is usually thick, sweetish, and whitish in colour. Pitta types* tend to have a slimy, sourish, yellowish coating and Vata types* have a dryish, bitter, grayish coating. When these early symptoms occur, fasting may readily alleviate ama and/or the pancha karma therapies administered according to the body type and in the appropriate season. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Malas</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> are the various waste products of the <b><i>dhatus</i></b> produced during the normal metabolic process. The three primary <b><i>malas</i></b><i> </i>being <b><i>Purisa</i></b> (faeces), <b><i>Mutra</i></b> (urine) and <b><i>Sweda</i></b><i> </i>(sweat). <b><i>Ayurveda</i></b> clearly states that only a balanced condition of <b><i>doshas</i></b><i>, <b>dhatus</b></i> and <b><i>malas</i></b> is <b><i>arogya</i></b> (good health or disease free condition) and their imbalance is the cause of ill health or disease. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Purisa</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is the waste left back after nutrients of digested food have been absorbed in the small intestine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The consistency of the faeces depending<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the main digestive fire i.e jatharagni and apana vayu( refer to the 5<sup>th</sup> type of vata).This system is known as <b><i>Purishvahastrotas</i></b>.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The <b><i>tridoshas</i></b> must be in balance to ensure normal evacuation. <b><i>Pitta</i></b> and <b><i>kapha</i></b> help digestion and <b><i>vata</i></b> governs the mobility throughout the process. Any imbalance between these can lead to various symptoms of abdominal heaviness or pain, flatulence, constipation or diarrhea. It may also give rise to diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, asthma, bronchitis as well as stomach ulcers and irritable bowels. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mutra</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is derived during the course of digestion within the human body. The first stage of urine formation begins in the large intestine where fluids are absorbed into the system. The entire urinary system i.e <b><i>Mootravaha strotas</i></b>-kidneys, uterus, bladder and urethra, take part in the formation and elimination of urine, regulating the fluid balance in our body and also maintaining blood pressure. Any imbalance of increased or decreased urine may result in disorders as kidney stones urinary infections, cystitis, abdominal pain and bladder disorders. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-hyphenate: none;"><b><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Sweda</span></i></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> (sweat) is the third primary <b><i>mala</i></b>, and it occurs as a waste product during the synthesis of <b><i>meda</i></b><i> <b>dhatu</b></i> (fatty tissue). Eliminated through skin pores, it controls body temperature. The channels responsible for bringing the sweat to skin surface are known as <b><i>sweda</i></b><i> <b>vaha</b> <b>srotas</b></i>. It is essential that normal formation and flow of sweat takes place as otherwise it may lead to skin infections, itching/burning sensation over the body, loss of fluid balance and reduced body temperature.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

These waste products, like the doshas and dhatus, are composed of the five elements. Secondary malas include the intestines fatty excretions, earwax, hair (body, head, and beard), nails, tears, and menstrual discharge. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Pancha karma, the five-fold Ayurvedic cleansing therapy, is designed to assist the body in the elimination of <b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Malas.</b><o:p></o:p></span><br />
