In spite of stronger medicines, vaccines, and expensive treatment, the incidence of lifestyle diseases like Blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, heart disease, and overweight is high on the rise. Heart diseases continue to be the major cause of mortality representing about 30% of all deaths worldwide. Why stronger medicines are not able to control the epidemic of chronic diseases?

Ayurveda emphasizes on the importance of food in the prevention and cure of lifestyle disorders. The breakdown of our tissues is a constant process in the body that is replenished by the intake of food. Ayurveda says food and drinks powerful medicine if they match your DNA. Ayurveda recommends Pathya Ahara by stating that if you intake wholesome food then there is no need for medicine and if you do not stop consuming unhealthy food then also there is no need for medicine. In the latter case, medicine will not be effective. In this way, the precisely constituted, calculated and cooked food is known as Pathya. The core key to good health is wholesome food without which optimal health cannot be achieved. Wholesome food is one that protects your wellbeing, while unwholesome food is the root of all diseases.

It is challenging to understand the Ayurvedic Pathya and Apathya from the western point of view where quantity is determined by serving size portion size or in caloric intake. Food incompatibility (Viruddha Ahara) is when two elements do not have an affinity for each other & those elements cause the interruption of metabolism which inhibits the formation of tissue.

Wholesome and unwholesome food varies from person to person. Wholesome for one might be unwholesome for another. The suitability of diet for a person is governed by age, body constitution, nature, the quantity of food, and compatibility with other foods. Keeping the above in mind one should exclude unwholesome items from one diet and eat only wholesome foods.

Remember wholesome (Pathya) is suitable to your body’s DNA, which does not create any trouble, and which is pleasant to the mind, that which is unpleasant to the mind is Apathya, This should not be neglected. Pathya is the right food that keeps the person healthy, maintains normal body functioning, nourishes the mind and intellect, prevents diseases, and at the same time corrects the irregularities that may occur in the body. Thus, everyone should refrain from unhealthy and unwholesome food to body (Apathya) and follow the wholesome food (Pathya) for prevention and lasting cure.

Almost all people with ankylosing spondylitis can expect to lead normal and productive lives. Despite the chronic nature of the illness, only a few people with ankylosing spondylitis will become severely disabled. But if left untreated, chronic inflammation can ultimately cause the vertebrae in your spine to fuse together. You may have a decreased range of motion when bending, twisting, or turning. You may also have greater, more frequent back pain. Ayurvedic treatment helps you to live with Ankylosing Spondylitis without painful disabling problems. Ayurvedic TMP procedure, physiotherapy, and Yogic support provide lasting relief.

According to Ayurveda, Ankylosing spondylitis is caused due to aggravated Vata dosha. The basic pathology starts with the formation of Ama toxins which if untreated causes degeneration & inflammation of the spine and may even lead to disability in the long term. In this autoimmune disorder, the disc between the vertebrae gets swollen up causing limitation of movement. The best treatment for this pathology is anti-Ama formulation such as Sukumar Guggul Rasayana and Neuro Cons. Ankylosing spondylitis treatment is most successful during the initial stages before the disease causes irreversible damage to your joints.

Suitable diet and lifestyle modification can help fight the effect of toxic Ama. Elimination of toxins from the deeper tissues, organs, and channels is achieved through detox and rejuvenation treatments, which are at the core of Ayurveda. While some of the cleansing treatments are complicated and need expert supervision, there is a super-easy way to detoxify. A team of senior physicians of the Society of Clinical Ayurveda has created a wonderfully cleansing Detox Drink – a completely natural herbal drink made with scientifically proven Ayurvedic herbs. It not only detoxifies the body but also provides immense health benefits.

A chronic illness is a long-term health condition that may not have a cure. Living with chronic illness can make you feel very alone. Ayurveda help to identify the root cause, understand, fight, and win your chronic illness. Examples of chronic illnesses are Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Arthritis, Asthma, Cancer, Cystic fibrosis, Diabetes, Heart disease, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and many auto-immune diseases. Ayurveda associate chronic disease with a unique concept of Ama molecules or auto-toxins produce by our own body due to unhealthy diet-drink and lifestyle.

Ayurveda identifies Ama, (auto-toxins) as one of the culprits for poor health. These are produced in the body due to seasonal changes, aging, unhealthy food, and lifestyle, among other reasons. There are three types of ama, of which the first kind – sticky ama – is produced due to the accumulation of fetid and decomposed food in the large intestines. As a result, the digestive enzymes stop functioning properly and the system gets affected. This in turn interferes with the flow of energy through the various channels in the body, causing illness. In fact, the first stage of any disease is sometimes called ama, which in Sanskrit means undigested or uncooked.

Various blood tests are helpful to assess the presence of Ama in the body. A positive AMA means that there are detectable levels of antibodies or metabolites in the bloodstream. This is especially important in the management of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and auto-immune diseases. Rapid Antibody tests are easy to perform and help to identify certain infections and some other medical conditions.

Suitable diet and lifestyle modification can help fight the effect of toxic Ama. Elimination of toxins from the deeper tissues, organs, and channels is achieved through detox and rejuvenation treatments, which are at the core of Ayurveda. While some of the cleansing treatments are complicated and need expert supervision, there is a super-easy way to detoxify. A team of senior physicians of the Society of Clinical Ayurveda has created a wonderfully cleansing Detox Drink – a completely natural herbal drink made with scientifically proven Ayurvedic herbs. It not only detoxifies the body but also provides immense health benefits.

Who doesn’t want ahead of luxuriant hair, that is well-groomed and styled? Even those who are not too bothered about their clothes, tend to fret about their hair, especially if they suffer from hair loss. Hair loss is a global problem for millions of people of both sexes, across age-groups. Little wonder then, that hair care products and treatments, constitute a multi-billion industry today.
Expensive hair-regeneration treatments hold out the promise of ‘crowning glory’ to those who are losing hair, but they need to be done only by experts who can gauge the dangers and side-effects on those undergoing treatment. Drugs and drug-based solutions are popular too, but they come with their own set of side-effects and contraindications, whether they are used topically or consumed internally.

The drawback with hair care products and drugs is that they don’t have a holistic approach to hair-health, because problems related to hair are not only localized but also have deeper roots in the form of nutrient deficiencies and imbalances in the body.

Some of the factors causing hair loss are:

Physical causes like vigorous brushing, hair dyes, chemicals and heat involved in a procedure like hair straightening and perming.
Effects of dust, pollution and hard water.
Stress and anxiety.
Deficiency of iron and zinc in the body.
Imbalances in the liver function.
As you can see, the last two factors are not localized but are still directly connected with hair-health. But there is no cause for despair. There is an excellent solution to all hair-related problems, which not only solves your hair problems but also tones up your liver and general health.

Keshya, is that wonderful Ayurvedic health supplement, that has been developed by the world-renowned Ayurvedic Physician, Dr Mukesh D. Jain, with some of the most effective, scientifically proven, and time-tested herbs. It has been clinically evaluated for over two decades for its efficacy in controlling hair loss and promoting overall hair health and is completely safe for both men and women.

The most important ingredient of Keshya is Bhrangaraj, (Eclipta Alba), which is also known as Keshraj in Assamese and Karisalankanni in Tamil. This Ayurvedic herb is scientifically verified for its efficacy as a liver cleanser and tonic. As we saw above, hair loss can be the result of the imbalance of pitta in the liver – one of the tridoshas elucidated in Ayurveda. Ranjak Pitta, produced in the liver directly affects hair health, including thinning, premature greying and discolouration of hair.

In addition to correcting the imbalance of pitta, Bhrangaraj has a host of other hair-related benefits too. It boosts blood circulation to the scalp, which ensures better nourishment for the hair follicles, resulting in healthy hair growth. This miraculous herb is regarded as the ‘Rasayana’ in Ayurveda – an ingredient that rejuvenates and slows down the ageing process. It has been proven to be better than Minoxidil in the regeneration of hair, without any side effects!

Besides Bhrangaraj, there are other excellent herbs in Keshya, which have a wide range of benefits.

Emblica Officinale acts as an antioxidant and helps fight free radicals that damage the hair.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kala) increases blood circulation to the scalp and nourishes hair follicles, strengthening them.
Rajat Bhasma is a rejuvenating herb that helps brain nerves, fights against anxiety and stress and boosts immunity.
Mouktik (Pearl) Pishti is natural calcium that corrects the pitta imbalance in the liver, prevents premature greying and discolouration, and helps in hair growth.
Aloe Vera contains enzymes that help repair dead cells on the skin of the scalp. It also conditions the hair and prevents itching and dandruff.

Why waste money on expensive hair care products that might not deliver what they promise or risk your health with drugs that come with side-effects? Go for the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in the form of Keshya, which is both safe and effective.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator used to treat cardiac problems is applied on the scalp in the form or drops and foam, to help hair growth. Though how it works is not very clear, it is supposed to be effective. The other steroidal drug, Finasteride, is used in the treatment of baldness in men and works by decreasing the amount of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone linked to hair loss and other health problems.

माइग्रेन सिरदर्द की बीमारी है, जो मूलतः न्यूरोलॉजिकल प्रॉब्लम है । आमतौर पर यह दर्द आधे सिर में होता है और आता-जाता रहता है, लेकिन कई बार पूरे सिर में दर्द होता है। यह दर्द 2 घंटे से लेकर 72 घंटे तक बना रहा सकता है। कई बार दर्द शुरू होने से पहले मरीज को चेतावनी भरे संकेत भी मिलते हैं, जिससे उसे पता चल जाता है कि माइग्रेन सिरदर्द होने वाला है। आयुर्वेदिक इलाज में प्रमुख रूप से गोदन्ती, जातीफल , वत्सनाभ तथा मेध्य रसायन ग्रुप की औषधियां प्रभावी एवं सुरक्षित हैं।
Migraine is basically a neurological headache. Certain Neurotransmitters are responsible for this painful condition. Ayurveda recounts several factors for this condition such as faulty genes (Beej Dushti), faulty foods (Unhealthy diet and drink), faulty thinking and behavior (unhealthy lifestyle), and faulty environmental conditions (Pollution). The causative factors result in neuroendocrine dysfunction (Vata Prakopa), which disturbs the metabolism (Pitta) and immunity (Kapha). This is further followed by dysfunction of the arteries, membranes of the brain, and the nerves, ultimately resulting in a migraine.

The treatment agenda is focused on the regulation of the Neuro-endocrinal system (Vata system). In addition, associated abnormalities in metabolism and immunity should also be managed. The management should begin with pain-relieving drugs such as Vatsanabh, Jatiphal, and Godanti. Gradually we can shift to anti-inflammatory treatment using Shallaki, and Erandmula along with Guggul and Dasmool.

Since Migraine is a neurological problem, we should use nootropic herbs such as Jyotishmati, Akarkara, and Vacha. Finally, we can use some Rasayana drugs such as Ashvagandha, Kapikachhu, Shilajatu, and Brahmi.

Have you ever thought about how your daily lifestyle affects your health and happiness? Have you been told that making time for those little things such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management, can all affect your life?

Our life-sustaining system is our IMMUNITY (Vyadhi Kshamatva) that serves as a defense mechanism and protects us from infections, dis-eases, and unhappiness. It’s important to keep the immune system healthy so it can effectively do its job. Ayurveda offers lifestyle choices that affect your immune system.

NUTRITION (AHARA)
Nutrition plays a huge role in how our immune system functions. When your body is deprived of essential nutrients, it isn’t performing at its highest level.
SLEEP (NIDRA)
Sleep is what your body needs to repair and restore itself. Getting enough high-quality sleep is just as important as proper nutrition and physical activity is for your body. Sleep is the body’s way to repair cells and tissues.
STRESS-FREE LIVING (BRAHMACARYA)
Stress is the salt of life, but too much stress can be harmful. The effects of too much stress accumulate and can make you more susceptible to illnesses and diseases. A stress-free lifestyle is a key component in keeping our immune system healthy.

According to Ayurveda, strong immunity is a product of good digestion, strong Agni (Regulated metabolism) quality liver functioning, and a balanced Neuro-endocrine system which is represented by well-balanced Vata energy. Immunity is also very much connected to a mysterious substance called Ojas.

Ojas is the positive subtle Paraná responsible for body strength, vigor, vitality, and immunity. It is the superfine essence of all of the bodily tissues and the end product of perfect digestion. So our focus should be on Ojas promotion. There are Ayurvedic remedies and therapies with protecting our Neuro-endocrinal system and promote the Ojas and thereby Immunity.

There are a number of Ayurvedic herbs that can support the immune system. Substances such as milk, ghee, or honey work as carriers that assist in delivering herbs deeper into those tissues. Turmeric is an easy resource to bolster the immune system. Curcumin, the active principle of turmeric helps purify the blood, strengthens digestion, and eliminates natural toxins from the digestive tract.

Similarly, Ginger (Zingiber officinale) regulates digestion, burn Ama molecules, and stimulate and support the immune system. Zingiber officinale has a number of chemicals responsible for its medicinal properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ant mutagenic properties.

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) is a spiritual herb efficient in promoting healthy circulation, and strong digestion. It is useful in maintaining normal body temperature and it naturally bolsters the immune system. Being a spiritual herb, Tulsi serves to elevate awareness and mental clarity.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is commonly used for stress. It is also used as an “adaptogen” for many other conditions. Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling (inflammation), lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system.

Immunity Support and Neuro Cons developed by Dr. Mukesh Jain for the Ayush Samiti, the parent body of AMDS India, are efficient formulas to rejuvenate the Neuro-Conscious- apparatus and strengthen the body’s resistance against infections and diseases.

Autoimmune disease is a varied group of illnesses that involve every human organ system. It includes diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems, as well as skin and other connective tissues, eyes, blood, and blood vessels. In all of these ADs, the underlying problem is “autoimmunity” — the body’s immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the very organs it was designed to protect. An autoimmune disease occurs when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. At the core of the immune system, there is the ability to tell the difference between self and foreign body. An interruption in this system can make the body unable to explain the difference between self and foreign body. The cause is poorly understood by modern science. Ayurveda suggests that the attacks of the immune system are not accidental, but it is a part of self-defense against a harmful metabolic molecule named ‘Ama’. There are several reasons for the emergence of Ama which is produced in the tissues that are attacked.

Ama has been defined as (i) undigested or semi-digested food, (ii) the accumulation of excretions (Mala Sanchaya), and (iii) deregulation of pathophysiology (Dosha). Usually, the Ama molecule is produced due to poor enzymatic function (Mandagni) at the level of gastrointestinal or cellular level during metabolism.
Ama is a kind of auto-toxins (Ama Visha) that behave like an antigen. Autoimmune diseases are usually caused by the penetration of large amounts of Ama molecules in certain body tissues or physiological systems. Ama can be responsible for a number of conditions, ranging from occasional diarrhea, leaky gut syndrome to chronic diseases, such as, increase the level of blood urea, uric acid, dyslipidemia, and rheumatoid arthritis and many more.
Many diseases begin with the formation of Ama in the body. We can relate it with the formation of deadly free radicals which are unstable chemicals formed in the body during normal metabolism or exposure to environmental toxins. Free radicals exist in an incomplete metabolic state similar to the state of Ama described as incompletely metabolized (Avipakvam). Ama is responsible for the production of various diseases; in the same way free radicals are also found to be the root cause of many diseases.

How to identify the presence of Ama?

Basically, Mandagni is responsible for the production of Ama. Several signs and symptoms of Ama’s presence are described in Ayurveda. More important are constipation, loss of strength, giddiness, vertigo, body ache, and malaise (Angmarda).

There are over 100 different autoimmune diseases, and the prevalence is ever rising. Our body resistance against diseases is of two kinds i.e. the one which attenuates the manifested disease and another variety prevents the manifestation of diseases. In Ayurveda, it is called Vyadhi Kshamatva which is the manifestation of Ojus which is dependent upon our diet, drink, and lifestyle. The food we eat has an important role to influence Vyadhi Kshamatva. Ojus is the best supporter of life and it is the product of our lifestyle.
Poor address to the basic cause (Ama production) and only suppressing to painful symptoms accelerate disease progression. Ayurvedic treatment agenda is focused to address the root cause for cure or at least lasting relief. There are many remedies and therapies available in Ayurveda. Omni Amritam is a wonderful formulation. It is a natural blend of processed Semicarpus Anacardium (Bhallatak), Plumbago zeylanica (Chitrak), Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), Boswellia serrata (Guggul) and Curcuma (Haldi) are efficient Ayurvedic resources for the prevention and treatment of auto-immune diseases
