वातक्षयज मांसपेशी दौर्बल्य Myasthenia gravis

admin No Comments

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disabling and sometimes fatal autoimmune disorder where there is an error in the transmission of nerve impulses sent to the muscles. Currently, there is no cure, but Ayurvedic treatments are efficient to target symptom control.

For normal muscular contraction, the neuro-muscular impulses generated in the motor neurons in the cerebral cortex reach the motor neurons in the spinal cord, and from the motor neurons in the anterior horn cells in the spinal cord, the nerve impulse ultimately reaches the neuromuscular junction (motor endplate). Here, acetylcholine – ACh (neurotransmitter) is released in the synaptic cleft, the space between the nerve terminal and muscle fiber. The released acetylcholine (ACh) then binds with the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) located in the cell membrane of the muscle fiber, and thus stimulate the local cell membrane.
The stimulation is called end plate potential. From the endplate potential, the impulse spreads across the muscle fiber. This is called the action potential. This action potential results in the contraction of the muscle fiber. The released acetylcholine (ACh) is instantly destroyed by an enzyme, called – acetylcholinesterase. If not done so, the released acetylcholine (ACh) will keep on stimulating the muscle fiber for a long time, which is not desirable. On the other hand, if the released acetylcholine (ACh) does not get the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) to bind, it will not be able to bring about its desired action.
Autoimmune dysfunction due to Auto Toxins (Ama Visha)
The immune cells (T and B lymphocytes) produce autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), and destroy the same. That results in the reduced number of the total acetylcholine receptors (AChRs). Or, alternately, the auto-antibodies may attack the MuSK (muscle-specific kinase), a protein located on the cell membrane of the muscle cell, and thus prevent the muscle fiber from contraction.
In such a situation, because of the lack of the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), the acetylcholine released in the synaptic cleft will not be able to act, with the result that the muscle fiber will not contract. This situation manifests as fatigue and muscle weakness, the two key symptoms of myasthenia gravis known as वातक्षयज मांसपेशी-दौर्बल्य in Ayurveda.

The ayurvedic treatment focuses on
(i) Managing the immune dysfunctions through anti-Ama measures
(ii) Supporting to neuro-muscular functions
(iii) Optimizing the overall health through Rasayana treatment.

Fight Cancer with Mind-Body Approaches

admin No Comments

Many people who had been diagnosed with cancer generally use complementary approaches for general wellness, immune enhancement, and pain management. Findings from a substantial amount of research suggest that some mind and body approaches, such as Ayurvedic  massage therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and yogic support may help to manage some cancer symptoms and side effects of treatment. 

Mind and body modalities are part of a multidisciplinary approach for reducing anxiety, mood disturbance, and chronic pain and for improving quality of life in people with cancer. Ayurvedic massages using Pitta pacifying oil and creams are efficient to fight pain and anxiety in people with cancer. To avoid possible adverse effects, the massage therapist should not use deep or intense pressure without the health care providers’ approval and may need to avoid certain sites, such as areas directly over a tumor or a known thrombus, or areas where the skin may be sensitive following radiation therapy.

There is evidence that mindfulness-based stress reduction, a type of meditation training, can help cancer patients cope with stress. There have been rare reports that meditation could cause or worsen symptoms in people with certain psychiatric condition such as anxiety disorders and depression.
Studies in women with breast cancer show that yoga may reduce fatigue and sleep disturbances, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve the quality of life. Most yoga studies have focused on women with breast cancer; much less is known about yoga for people with other types of cancer.

Enhancing Ojus to Heal your Heart !

Perhaps no other organ is more vital than the heart at sustaining our existence as well as being the intimate connection between our emotional life and overall health. Shockingly, every 20 seconds. someone in the U.S. has a heart attack.
“To protect the heart and great vessels, above all take measures that are healthy for the heart and promote ojas, that cleanse the gaps and channels & help create serenity of mind.” – Charaka Samhita

Many thousands of years ago, the classical texts of Ayurveda identified the specific causes of heart disease as we known them today. For example, it was mentioned that eating too much fatty and rich food along with suffering from chronic mental and emotional stress were considered the root causes of heart disease. Our modern lifestyles are all too familiar with these factors and we could refine the root cause of heart disease as being stress on various levels [physical, psychological, and biochemical-oxidative stress].

Our every experience creates a scar on our mind – an impression on the mind. Every thought creates a groove on the brain. So, the total number of scars is samskar which decides your tendencies and life style. All that action, reaction, behavior – that comes from samskar.

There is a profound relationship for every passing thought, subtle feeling, and fleeting emotion within the mind and its influence upon the entire body. In a way, any action within the mind provides a similar [re]-action within both the heart and brain. According to the wisdom of Ayurveda, imbalanced emotions such as worry, grief and fear can “dry up” the natural storehouse of nourishing ojas and therefore can affect heart-health. From an Ayurvedic perspective, ojas can be enhanced by rasayanas [i.e. rejuvenatives]. There are various forms of rasayanas, however, all rasayanas are thought to operate at the deepest level of our physiology.

“Neuro Cons” – a unique natural blend which is dietary supplement for heart-Ojus-consciousness! It is ayurvedic formulation Ashwagandha, Shilajit, Mukta, Abhrak, Yashad processed with Brahmi Ghrut (Ghee).
Remember, Ojas has the capacity to counteract the etiological factors or causes of disease !!

SAY GOOD BYE TO HAIR LOSS WITH KESHYA

Who doesn’t want a head 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.

There are oils, shampoos and other products that offer specific solutions to hair problems. But as they only work on the surface of the scalp and the hair and most of them contain harmful chemicals, they tend to either be ineffective or damage the hair in the short or long term.

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.

                                                                                                                                 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 discoloration 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 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 a natural calcium that corrects the pitta imbalance in the liver, prevents premature graying and discoloration, and helps in hair growth.
  • Aloe Vera contains enzymes that help repair dead cells on the skin. It also conditions and prevent 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.

 

 

Give your body an internal scrubbing with Detox Drink

admin No Comments

The human body is a wonderful machine, but like all machines, it needs to be nurtured, maintained and cleansed regularly to prevent accumulation of unwanted deposits and toxins, to run smoothly. However, the fast-paced life we lead today interferes with the eating, sleeping and eliminating functions, making it very difficult for us to keep our bodies free from toxins. For, while it is easy to wash off external grime and dirt, we can’t scrub our internal organs!
Ayurveda identifies Ama, (auto-toxins) as one of the culprits for poor health. These are produced in the body due to seasonal changes, ageing, 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, causing illness. In fact, the first stage of any disease is sometimes called ama, which in Sanskrit means undigested or uncooked.
Our gut has a lot more importance in our body than we give it credit for. Scientists call it the ‘second brain’, because of its very intricate web of over 100 million neurons. It is estimated that 95% of serotonin, the chemical that influences our moods is found in the guts. Not just all these, but the gut also controls the immune system of the body. Naturally, when the gut is polluted, it affects not only our physical but also our emotional wellbeing.
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 Ayurvedic physicians led by the world-renowned Dr. Mukesh D. Jain 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.

while improving RBC levels.
 stimulates the kidneys to increase urine output.
 controls irritability, mental debility, anxiety, sleep disturbance and aggressive behavior.
 enhances memory and concentration contributing to overall intelligence.

Detox Drink contains a blend of the following scientifically verified detox herbs:

Tulsi helps in oral care, respiratory and lung disorders, fever, heart diseases and stress.
Gotu kola is a psychic and spiritually transformative and adaptogenic herb, which enhances intelligence and memory, fortifies the immune system, helps in hair growth, strengthens the adrenals, aids digestion, is useful in treating varicose veins, tones up circulation. It also helps purify blood and is good for chronic skin conditions such as eczema.
Sappon wood also known as Caesalpinia sappan is a medicinal and dye yielding plant, which kills bacteria, reduces swelling, and relieves pain. It promotes blood circulation and enhances cardiovascular contraction. It also helps in hypnotizing and anaesthetizing the central nerve, to relieve pain.
Eclipta Alba (Bhringaraj) has long been recognised by Ayurvedic physicians for its liver protective abilities. It is the drug of choice to treat liver diseases such as jaundice and hepatitis and is an integral part of any detoxification regime.
Cinnamon is loaded with anti-oxidants and is scientifically verified for its anti-inflammatory properties. It minimizes the risk of heart diseases and can improve sensitivity to the hormone insulin. It lowers blood sugar levels and has a powerful anti-diabetic effect.
Arjun, also known as Terminalia Arjun has been used to balance the three “Patho-physiological factors viz., the Tridoshas identified by Ayurveda as Kapha, Pitta and Vata. The bark of Arjun has been used in India, primarily as a heart remedy for more than 3000 years.
Clove, also known as Syzygium aromaticum, is rich in antioxidants. Cloves provide fiber, vitamins and minerals like manganese, vitamin K and vitamin C.
Cardamom improves blood circulation, provides gastrointestinal protection, cholesterol and cancer control and relieves cardiovascular problems. It is useful for curing dental diseases and urinary tract infections such as cystitis, nephritis, and gonorrhea. Cardamom possesses aphrodisiac properties and is also used as a cure for impotence, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.
Peppermint Leaves or pudina, are beneficial to the respiratory system, including in the treatment of coughs, colds, asthma, allergies and tuberculosis.
Detox Drink gives our internal organs, tissues and mind a regular ‘scrubbing’ to rid them of all accumulated toxins. All you need to do is add a pinch of it in half a glass of water and drink first thing in the morning. Did you ever believe that internal cleansing could be so simple?
Go on, give Detox Drink a try and welcome a world of wellness into your body and mind!
