Generally, when a particular Humour is deficient it will appear as an excess of another.

Generally, when a particular Humour is deficient it will appear as an excess of another. In the case of deficient Air it will probably appear as excess Water. For this we would use more foods and medicines that are bitter, spicy, drying and light in nature and less sleep (which is pro-Water). Excess Air will generally exhibit a more wiry, emaciated appearance and hyper nervous sensitivity with aggravation by cold and wind. For such a condition we need more grounding foods and drinks that have sweet, salty and sour flavors and is more deeply nourishing. Excess Air individuals should absolutely avoid raw foods, juices, fasting, eat more grains and perhaps some animal protein (dairy, if one is vegetarian) and have more rest and sleep They should also refrain from excessive aerobic activity as they will have a greater tendency to weaken and injure themselves. Physical exercise such as yoga, stretching or tai chi is particularly appropriate. In addition they should regularly apply warm sesame oil to their entire body several times each week a half to one hour or so before bathing. Developing a regulated and moderate lifestyle of sleeping, eating and sex is extremely important since irregularity or excess of any of these tend to further derange Air Humour (nervous system).

Ayurvedic Eye Care Beauty Tips

By Dr. M V Subramanyam, MD, PhD (Shalakya Tantra )

Eye Care

The skin around eyes is vulnerable part of body's entire skin surface. In most areas of the body, the blood supply cools, warms, and nourishes the skin, but facial skin, and especially the skin around the eyes, serves an additional function, that of emotional response.

On top of the emotional stresses and free radical assaults, environmental factors such as automobile exhaust and second-hand tobacco smoke cause adverse effects on skin.

Allergies to nail polish and some perfumed cosmetics can also lead to a compromised skin texture around the eyes. Even internet addiction can be a factor! And of course, the sun can produce further signs of aging. Sunscreen lotions and creams are widely used to protect facial skin, but unfortunately, most sunscreens cannot be used close to the eyes.

The weed which helps in eradicating dengue is known as Solanum villosum which a member of the family of nightshade possessing medical properties and are used as Ayurvedic herbs.

About two fifth of the total population of the world is now at risk from dengue which is characterized by high fever, pain and rashes. Dengue haemorrhagic fever is the most complicated type which most likely affects children. In the recent years there have been quite a few deaths in Kolkata because of this disease. With this path breaking discovery a cure for Dengue is likely to be found soon.

This research has been carried out in the University of Burdwan where the juice from the berries have been extracted and used on the mosquitoes spreading yellow fever and dengue. The researchers have found out that the extracts of this weed is highly effective in killing the larvae of S.aegypti responsible for spreading dengue. The researchers claimed that the extracts of this weed is not as strong as Malathion but it has the capability to kill the mosquitoes of stagnant water.

Himachal Pradesh to provide Ayurveda for public health

Shimla: Here’s good news for patients visiting Himachal Pradesh rural health centers. They may soon be able to consult both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors for treatment.

Top government officials said Friday that a proposal has been sent to the central health ministry. If approved, it could offer a better option to patients who would benefit from both streams of medicine.

In the first phase, 250 public health centers and 70 community health centers, which already have allopathic doctors posted along with other paramedic staff, will also have an ayurvedic doctor to assist patients.

Ayurveda students demand stipend

Mumbai: The Maharsatra Ayurvedic Student Association (MASA) has demanded stipend for students who are pursuing postgraduate programs in government aided ayurvedic colleges in the state.

Maharastra has about 56 ayurvedic colleges out of which only four are run by government. Since last two week students of post graduate government aided ayurvedic colleges in the state are demanding stipend. Dr Reema Patil, president MASA asked, “If MBBS students are entitled to stipend, why not us?”

Principal secretary of medical education Amitabh Chandra said that the government was looking into their demands. “We have to look into the financial implications and then decide,” he said.

Their demands also include better job opportunities for the 3,500-odd Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) graduates passing out every year. Students believe that the government has been hypocritical in its approach towards promoting ayurvedic medicine.

A government resolution of 1981 states that BAMS degree is equivalent to MBBS, “however, not a single BAMS doctor finds any place in government projects,” said Patil.

It should be mentioned, the National Rural Health Mission has sought the services of ayurvedic doctors as MBBS doctors are unwilling to practice in rural areas. “We have recruited 2,000 ayurvedic and unani practitioners to rural areas,” said Madhukar S Chaudhari, mission director of Maharashtra Rural Health Mission.

A Simple Ayurvedic Case Study:

So, just the other day, a 24 year old woman comes to me complaining that she has not had a menstrual period in 5 months and that she does not feel as though she has as much energy as she used to. Prior to the last 5 months of her periods were regular and light with minimal discomfort.

She has recently noticed a crusty grayish discharge from her vagina. She enjoys sex, however intercourse has recently become painful as she does not lubricate as much as she used to. She has also noticed that her hair appears to be thinning. Prior to five months ago she recalls having nice ordinary hair. Her history reveals that there have been no major illnesses or traumatic events that she can recall during her life. She is taking no medications.

Further history reveals that she has excessive gas and occasional constipation have been present for about two years. She has always slept well, and her appetite is always regular. She eats three meals a day consistently and occasionally snacks .

Conventional medicine is medicine as practiced by holders of M.D.

(medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degrees and by their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. Some health care providers practice both CAM and conventional medicine.

Key Points
The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. This is believed to help prevent illness and promote wellness.

In Ayurvedic philosophy, people, their health, and the universe are all thought to be related. It is believed that health problems can result when these relationships are out of balance.

In Ayurveda, herbs, metals, massage, and other products and techniques are used with the intent of cleansing the body and restoring balance. Some of these products may be harmful when used on their own or when used with conventional medicines.

Before you seek care from an Ayurvedic practitioner, ask about the practitioner's training and experience.

Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

1. What is Ayurvedic medicine?
Ayurvedic medicine is also called Ayurveda. It is a system of medicine that originated in India several thousand years ago.

The term Ayurveda combines two Sanskrit words--ayur, which means life, and veda, which means science or knowledge. Ayurveda means "the science of life."

In the United States, Ayurveda is considered a type of CAM and a whole medical system. As with other such systems, it is based on theories of health and illness and on ways to prevent, manage, or treat health problems.

Ayurveda aims to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit (thus, some view it as "holistic"). This balance is believed to lead to contentment and health, and to help prevent illness.

However, Ayurveda also proposes treatments for specific health problems, whether they are physical or mental. A chief aim of Ayurvedic practices is to cleanse the body of substances that can cause disease, and this is believed to help reestablish harmony and balance.
