 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...

In this article, I would like to share the benefits of the divine fruit - Amla (Indian Gooseberry/ Nellikkaai). Gooseberry is the most important medicinal fruit in Ayurveda. 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. It is said that if a healthy person consumes Amla and Turmeric on a regular basis, in addition to good diet and lifestyle, the person will be free of all life-threatening diseases and also enjoy a good lifespan.  Some of its benefits are listed below: Strengthens digestive system Anti-oxidant Anti-inflammatory Diuretic Laxative Liver tonic Hair tonic Prevents peptic ulcers Hormonal modulator Reduces cholesterol Boosts oxygen level in the blood Supports/ maintain normal sugar levels Increases Ojas (im...

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...

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...

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...

 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 ...
