Suppressed Emotions and Diseases !!!!

In this article, I would like to talk about suppressed emotions and how it becomes one of the main causes for any disease. The reason for choosing this topic is the increasing rate of diseases like Cancer, Autism, Heart attack, Depression, PCOD, Kidney stones, Infertility, Alzheimer's etc which I hear at-least one new case every month. Whenever we hear that someone is diagnosed with cancer, we immediately tend to link bad habits with cancer. When I was young, like many others, I too used to think that only smoking and drinking causes cancer. But that's not the case all the time. If that's the case, then why does a 8-year old kid get Lymphoma?  Likewise, when we hear someone in his 40's or 50's suffering from depression, we think its normal due to the hectic lifestyle. We easily blame stress as the only reason for any depression-related disorders. That stress could be due to unhappy job or family. If unhappy job or family is the main cause then why does a 2-yr old...

As innocent as a Coconut

Coconut is  very good  for health !!!! After reading the previous line, most of you might come to this conclusion, "She is insane. How come a cholesterol-causing food can be healthy?!"  Well, if you think that I am insane and if I agree to that, then I will definitely consider including coconut in my diet to gain some intelligence :)  But I already include it in my diet, which means, I am not insane?! ;) I don't want to confuse you anymore. All I wanted to convey is, coconut is not bad as it was/is told by our physicians. There are a lot of things I would like to share about coconut, may be in my future article. For now, I want you to read the book " Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was A Cure " by Dr.Mary T.Newport M.D.  https://www.amazon.com/ Alzheimers-Disease-There- Story-Ketones/dp/1591203198/ ref=dp_ob_title_bk .  This book is also available in some libraries. In the book, the author explains how coconut oil helped her to treat her husba...

Takra - The Probiotic Superfood and its role in boosting immunity !!!

 I would like to share the rarely known benefits of Takra (Ayurvedic Buttermilk/Neer Mor in Tamil). Yogurt is taken in every Indian meal either as a curd rice/ chaas/ Kadhi. While it is already known and loved by many, then what is this article all about? Well, when I ask people about the reason for including yogurt in their meal, I get the following response It gives a satisfied feeling if I finish my meal with a curd rice or chaas It is a coolant Both are right and valid reasons too. But many people are not aware of how to use yogurt correctly, when to use and its major contribution to our immune system. Improper usage of yogurt is not good for the body. This article explains how to include yogurt in our everyday meal without getting any side-effect. What is probiotic and why we need it? Our body is made up of millions of bacteria and germs. Most of them do good to us and is needed to prevent diseases. These are called "Friendly bacteria (probiotics)" which resid...

It is as nourishing as a mother's milk. It has 5 tastes (sweet, sour, astringent, bitter, pungent) except salt. This makes the fruit a perfectly balanced one for all the body types and has a rejuvenating effect on the body. From common cold to cancer, Amla has the power to treat almost any disease.

They prevent anemia, induces appetite, strengthens bone marrow, helps in cells rejuvenation, gout, allergies, cystitis etc. Based on the taste of Grapes, its medicinal property will vary a little.  Sour grapes increases Kapha  (Earth & Water elements)  and Pitta  (Fire & Water)  but reduces Vata  (Air & Space)  disorders such as bloating, constipation, paralysis etc. In moderate amount with spices like cardamom and ginger, even kapha people can enjoy sour grapes.

How does my body work!!!

Today I would like to share the most important concept which I felt everyone should know. Its about how our body works. After reading the benefits of natural foods, many of you might be wondering, "if a simple vegetable/fruit can prevent many diseases then why am I taking medications for my illness?! How does these medicines differ from natural remedy?" To get the answer, we must first know how our body works and what is actually happening when we take a chemical drug or a natural food/herb. I want to make the explanation as simple as possible. I am not going to include any biological terms as I want everyone to understand better.  First of all, why should you know how your body works? Does it really matter?? YES! It matters a lot. Lets say you have a motorcycle. If you know everything about your vehicle, you wont look for an automobile shop and you will have the courage to fix it on your own. Similarly, since we don't know much about our body, we rely on doctors eve...

Do you remember Brahmi!!! (Vallaarai in Tamil)

Today I would like to share the wonderful healing power of Brahmi (Vallaarai in Tamil). It is a well known memory booster. There are 2 varieties of Brahmi with the botanical names - Bacopa Monnieri and Centella Asiatica. The name "Brahmi" is used interchangeably. Both are used in Ayurveda/ Siddha medicines extensively for all neurological and psychological issues including Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer, Depression, Dementia, Schizophrenia etc.  Every disease starts in the gut. When it comes to neurological/ psychological diseases, gut health plays a main role. Lack of friendly bacteria in the gut affects the production of neurotransmitters which eventually leads to anxiety, depression, hyperactivity etc. Takra (Ayurvedic Buttermilk) is the best pro-biotic. It is prescribed to almost all patients affected from psychological disorders. This will bring back the friendly bacteria and improves gut health. More about the healing power of Takra will be coming in a future article. In Ay...

Glyphosate-Aluminium combo and Alzheimer's, Autism and depression

Sorry for a long  message . I request you to spend few minutes as I am going to share most important topic which I felt everyone should be aware of to prevent deadly diseases. Alzheimer's, Autism, Cancer and Depression. Decades ago, it was said that Indians have very few cases of these diseases. But what is the situation now? I am sure you must be knowing atleast one person suffering from one of these diseases. Lot of researches and debates are going on in the medical world to find the exact cause. The following are suspected as a potential cause: Vaccines, pesticides, GMOs, heavy metals, hereditary. But when they do a research taking one of these into consideration, the link between these causes and the diseases come back negative (or at-least it is told so). So it remain confusing to everyone. Why is that?  Ayurveda always focuses on food combination, how incompatible combination causes issues. For example: Milk is good. Banana is also good. But what happens when you ha...

Papaya to treat Inflammatory disorders

 I would like to share some amazing benefits of Papaya. Inflammation is considered as a major cause of several diseases including Cancer, Depression, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Asthma, Alzheimer etc. Oxidized cholesterol forms plaque in the arteries that could lead to a heart attack. Papaya's anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties helps in lowering inflammation, improving wound healing, prevents oxidation of cholesterol build-up in arteries and premature ageing.  Poor gut health leads of all type of diseases. Papayas are high in digestive enzymes. They help in supporting your Paachaka Agni - the digestive fire. The powerful enzymes "papain" and "chymopapain" in papaya helps digestion through breaking down undigested protein wastes and helps in eliminating parasites and their eggs. By this way it helps in cleaning your gut.  Papaya leaf tea is a well-known remedy to maintain a healthy platelet count. Papaya's beta-carotene helps our body ...

Pranayama and Lymphatic System !!!

I would like to share the effect of Pranayama on our Lymphatic system.  Our body has more than one trillion cells. Breathing is the primary factor in maintaining the health of these cells. Deep breathing oxygenates the blood, which is then circulated in the body to nourish the cells. A good supply of oxygen to these cells boosts our immunity. Lymphatic system is well known but least bothered by many of us. As much as how nourishing the cell is important, removing the waste from these cells are as important too. Blood circulates throughout the body releasing oxygen and nutrients into the lymph. If we maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, our cells will have the intelligence to absorb the nutrients and release the waste and toxins to the lymph. Lymphatic system has a network of vessels, tissues, and nodes to circulate lymph. Lymph is a transparent fluid rich in White Blood Cells. This is an important part of body's immune system which helps in removing toxins. It is a primary c...

Magical Moringa/Drumstick (Murungai in Tamil) !!!!

I would like to share the miraculous benefits of Moringa(a.k.a Drumstick/Murungai). Of-course we all eat Drumstick quite often knowing its medicinal value or at-least for its flavor. Drumstick Leaf is a well known healthy leafy green. In this email I would like to share how these drumsticks do good to our body. Knowing the full benefit of the food we eat is good to our mind and body. It gives us a satisfied and happy feeling while we eat. Moringa/Drumstick leaves has  47 different anti-oxidants 4 times more calcium than milk 7 times more Vitamin C than an orange 3 times more potassium than a banana 25 times more Iron than spinach 2 times more protein than in milk Amazing, right?  We all know that our body is made up of 7 tissues/Dhatus (Plasma, Blood, Muscle, Fat, Bone, Bone marrow and Reproductive tissue). When the toxins reach till the third tissue (Muscle), it is quite easy to detoxify. But when it reaches the next level, it becomes more difficult to pull the...

Sesame and its secrets !!!

Today I would like to share the healing power of Sesame (Ellu in Tamil). Sesame seed and oil are being used in India for several thousand years. But nowadays sesame oil is making rare appearance in Indian kitchen. People have started using sunflower, safflower, corn and canola oil fearing sesame oil might increase cholesterol and weight gain. Before discussing whether these oils are really good as advertised, for now, lets find out whether sesame oil really increases your cholesterol and weight. Sesame seed is one of the most powerful healing food on earth. It is used in Ayurveda, Siddha and Chinese medicines. It is a known fact that any allopathy medicine will adversely affect our Liver which is called Hepatotoxicity. Sesame seed helps in  relieving the epidemic of liver damage  from these drugs. That doesn't mean, people can happily take allopathy medicine and sesame oil to compensate :) It is always recommended to stay away from modern medicine whenever possible as I men...
