My true purpose of being an Ayurvedic doctor

I am a full-time Ayurvedic doctor who works from 6 am to 8 pm. Apart from consultations, I deal with team meetings, supervise products and medicines supervision and create content about Ayurveda. Yes, I am very busy in life but still am very active on social media. Here is why. Being an Ayurvedic Doctor I believe, the choices that you make in your life should be from a point of awareness and not ignorance. As an Ayurvedic doctor, my higher goal or dream or vision is to bring global acceptance to Ayurveda. Some write books, some do talks, and I create content as simple as that. There is no money to be made if everyone has good health. In selling sicknesses, there is a lot of money at stake. The medical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and diagnostics industry – all thrive upon this factor; indeed, they rely heavily on it! The beauty of Ayurveda, unlike other medical systems, not only talks about treating diseases but also an equally bigger wing – prevention. Is there any money to be made from prevention? No. That’s why large corporate companies around the world insuring conducts wellness programs, have even wellness departments doing awareness talks, etc. on prevention so that people do not fall sick often. Even if it looks like the act of engaging employees, the hidden agenda is also to help insurance premiums. That’s a great example – there is no money in wellness, only in illness. Ayurveda is a lot about prevention and that’s the beauty of Ayurveda as a medical system. Coming back to the money in sickness, it is important to note that the modern pharmaceutical industry and diagnostics industries, consequently, thrive on medical professionals and their practice. If you ask me, you have no idea how many pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic labs reach out to me and ask me to refer their lab tests and medicines for my patients. The perks are high; furthermore, some even promise international travel, among other benefits. Marketing has wired us subconsciously in a certain way; consequently, it includes the promotion of blood-test culture. When you have a disease condition and it is important for the doctor to run some tests, that is absolutely ethical as this will help the doctor have a clear-cut diagnosis and plan your further treatment well. As doctors, we all do that. I do that too. That’s doing blood tests for diagnosing diseases. That’s a thing. What about doing blood tests for diagnosing health? Not just blood tests, DNA tests, food intolerance tests, food allergy tests and gazillion tests. Children as young as 3 to 4 years are, therefore, made to take various tests for diagnosing their health. Unfortunately, not everyone may approve of what I am saying, which is ok ‚that is how marketing has strongly and deeply wired their brains. People love to be comfortable. We have everything around us – every facility around us to make our lives comfortable. People want to hear what makes them comfortable. They hear the same messages continuously. They are happy and comfortable hearing them. But when someone says something, which is not what they have heard usually, they get uncomfortable. There is a lot of misinformation or programmed information around. I, as an Ayurvedic doctor, aim to bring your awareness by giving you the right information. You may find discomfort from what I say, as it might differ from what you’re accustomed to hearing. But that uncomfortableness‚ if that’s even a word, will challenge you and make you think. This is why I exist for you. To provide you with knowledge of Ayurveda and health, which is, in fact, real, practical, and, importantly, authentic. As I said in the beginning, I believe, the health choices that you make in your life should be from a point of awareness and not ignorance. And for that, I am here for you! If you are struggling with any health issues, you can either book a consultation with us or send us a message via WhatsApp to +91 79074 89839.

Gas or Bloating Remedies in Ayurveda

Bloating or gas is one of the common digestive issues faced by many. unhealthy food habits, indigestion, desk-bound lifestyle – all contribute to bloating. According to Ayurveda, bloating or gas is caused due to a weak digestive fire (Agni). They call it aadhmaana and it is a kind of vata imbalance. Bloating that occurs occasionally is considered normal. However, if it is frequent, it is a sign of imbalance in digestion. Bloating in our abdomen happens when our gastrointestinal tract is not able to split the food into smaller particles for absorption. The body then retains the food, converting it to toxins and receiving no nourishment. Ayurveda suggests the following remedy for relief from bloating. Garlic milk This recipe is from Caraka Samhita Chikitsa Sthana. Ingredients Garlic – 5g Milk – 50ml Water – 50 ml Preparation Add garlic paste to milk and water and boil it until the quantity reduces to 50ml. Strain and drink 10ml two times a day after food. Benefits Garlic milk is good for subsiding gas, bloating, abdominal cramps and constipation. This recipe is also suitable for people with heart disease and arthritis. Ayurveda recommends using small garlic over big ones, though the latter is easy to clean. The reason is that small garlic has more health benefits than big garlic. Small garlic is good for the heart, eyes, liver, hair, hot potency and anti-ageing. It is also useful for relief from worms and digestive issues and for healing wounds. It also reduces Vata and improves vitality. Big garlic, however, is the inferior variety. It has all benefits of small garlic but to a lesser extent. It is also extremely Pitta increasing. Remember, garlic milk is medicine. So, it is not advisable to consume it daily forever. You can use it for a few days and stop it. But, do not store the garlic milk to use later.

Rice Battle – Which One Wins for Everyday Nutrition?

Rice is medicine in Ayurveda. Also known as Anna, it is the first food mentioned in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, it is the lightest food to digest and has a sweet taste. It is a nourishing food, which is cooling in nature. Rice can also be with vegetables, pulses and nuts to make it healthier and more nutritious. It is one of the staple foods in many countries across the world, including India. It is an essential part of the Indian diet and symbolizes fertility, wealth and good health. Vata, Pitta, Kapha and Rice Many people consider it good for balancing Vata and Pitta, two of the three doshas. However, the nature of rice, which creates excess mucus in the body, makes overconsumption of it not considered ideal for Kapha. Eat that cooked well in plenty of water with a dollop of ghee added to balance Vata. Desserts prepared with rice and milk have a cooling nature, so you can consume them to balance Pitta. To balance Kapha, consuming a smaller quantity of it is recommended. If you are trying to balance Kapha in your body, dry roast the rice before cooking it in water to consume. According to Ayurveda, anytime is a good time to consume rice. Ayurveda recommends the consumption of old rice as It has an amazing healing effect on the body . There are also other different varieties of it, such as basmati , polished , unpolished , boiled , parboiled , etc. Nutrition Modern nutrition considers brown rice to be healthier as it is unprocessed, and comes with more nutrition and vitamins than other varities of it. It also has a lower glycemic index compared to the other types. However, Ayurveda prefers white over brown for daily consumption. Ayurveda is all about digestion. According to Ayurveda, the best time gap between meals is 1 Prahara, which is approximately three hours. Any food that stays in our body for more than 3 hours gets converted to undigested toxic waste or Ama. A rice with husk, for example, brown rice, has fibre in it. Any types without husk or lesser fibre content, such as white rice, digest easily and exit the system. Therefore, people find white rice to be light, easily digestible, recommended for daily consumption (nityasevaneeya), and they consider it a superior food. How to cook it in the right way? Here is the traditional Ayurvedic way of cooking rice. Wash rice in water until the water runs clear. Sona Masoori and Ambe Mohar are the most recommended for everyday use. Basmati is comparatively heavier and therefore, can be used once or twice a month. Then, soak it for at least an hour. Meanwhile, boil water. You can take the water twice or thrice the quantity of it. Once the water boils, add soaked rice to it, and cook it covered. When it bubbles, remove the cover and cook it until it turns soft. You can then strain the water out. Enjoy the it with a side of dal and cooked vegetables.

Triphala Truth in Ayurveda

Triphala is a widely used Ayurvedic herbal formula that constitutes three herbs. Triphala literally means three fruits in Sanskrit language. True to its name, Triphala constitutes Amalaki (Amla), Bibhitaki (Baheda) and Haritaki (Harad). The ingredients of Triphala have lots of health benefits individually. Amla is rich in Vitamin C, amino acids, essential minerals and antioxidants. Bibhitaki is also rich in many antioxidants, including tannins, lignans, flavons, etc. Haritaki contains vitamins and minerals, like iron, copper, magnesium, etc. Therefore, combining them gives more efficient results and helps cure many health issues. Properties of Triphala Triphala has detoxification properties that help cleanse digestive organs. It also has mild laxative properties that help prevent issues such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. It also helps improve digestion and aids weight loss. The rejuvenating properties of Triphala help strengthen the immune system. It is also packed with antioxidants that help to get rid of tiredness and boost energy levels. Triphala prevents the digestion and absorption of starch in the body, thus preventing the blood sugar levels from increasing post meals. This makes it beneficial for diabetic patients. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, making it an important ingredient in many eye care-related Ayurvedic products. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Triphala help cure skin issues and heal wounds. It is also a great solution to different hair problems, such as hair fall, hair damage, dandruff, premature greying, etc. Triphala also has the power to moderate corticosterone levels, thus keeping stress levels under check. Corticosterone, also called the stress hormone, helps you to deal with environmental stress. Apart from all these, Triphala is also beneficial for many very specific diseases. Due to its different health benefits, Triphala is one of the most widely used ingredients in many Ayurvedic products. It is available in different forms, such as capsules, tablets, extract, powder, tincture, tea, etc. Healthcare providers often commonly prescribe this ayurvedic formula and advise people to take it every day.. Is Triphala good for everyday use? The answer is NO. Anything, be it a herb or medicine, if taken every day, becomes a food, where the herb will not do the intended action or show any medicinal property. Instead, it becomes a habit (Saathmya) to the body. Using Triphala every day has side effects. It loosens the intestine muscles, dries up the mucous membrane and eventually becomes a habit. Therefore, the best way to use it is to use it for a short term, maybe for not more than six weeks, or else, your body will treat it as food. You must use it with the right vehicle, such as milk, warm water, cold water, etc., based on your health condition.

Ghee -The Ayurvedic Wonder

Ghee is known for its several advantages. It is known for its capacity to help with everything from hair health to cognitive function. Perhaps that is why our grandmothers used to feed us ghee-laden rotis and laddoos. Even Ayurveda loves ghee for its amazing health benefits! However, if you’ve never truly liked this crowd-pleaser, that’s alright. Ghee is the best, no doubt! It is great for everyday use. However, Ayurveda says contrary to common opinion, it isn’t suitable for everyone. There are some lesser-known downsides of eating ghee, alongside crucial benefits. It won’t be appropriate for certain health conditions! Today, we are going to know why! So, let’s start! But First, What is Ghee? Ghee is a clarified or drawn butter used especially in Indian cuisine. Clarification means separating milk solids and water from fat using heat. It can be made by boiling butter for longer than clarified butter, allowing the milk solids to brown before filtering it. As a result, it has a rich, nuttier flavour than typical clarified butter. There are many misunderstandings regarding it as a fatty meal. However, Ayurveda considers it as a good fat. It has several health advantages if consumed in moderation and with the appropriate meals. People in India use an ancient system of alternative medicine known as Ayurveda. It is prominent in Ayurveda-recommended meals. You can use ghee in combination with herbal therapies as well. It has lately gained appeal as a superior alternative to ordinary butter owing to its reported spiritual and medicinal benefits. It has a high smoke point, which makes it suitable for cooking and serving as a foundation for gravies and stews. Furthermore, ghee is abundant in monounsaturated fats, which are found in studies to offer health advantages such as decreased cholesterol levels. Some Amazing Advantages Of Ghee Ghee is used alongside herbal therapy as part of Ayurveda, an ancient alternative medicine in India. Aside from its purported spiritual and therapeutic powers, it has many fantastic advantages. Has healthy fats It includes beneficial fats that help the body create good cholesterol.

Reduces bladder pain Several healthcare specialists advocate giving cow ghee in the morning to alleviate bladder discomfort. One can consume garlic cloves mixed with cow ghee to treat persistent fever. To treat dry mouth and taste buds, use amla powder mixed with raisins and cow ghee in the mouth for a few minutes. Haritaki powder combined with cow ghee is recommended for stomach discomfort since it works as an antispasmodic. Cow ghee combined with sugar might be an effective alternative to Triphala decoction, which frequently produces side effects. Strengthens bones Ghee includes vitamin A, which promotes eye health and protects against night blindness, and Vitamin K, which helps calcium absorption. It helps reduce tooth decay and atherosclerosis. Also, discover wholesome meals for healthy bones. Treats menstrual problems Ghee helps regulate the body’s hormones to treat menstrual difficulties. It became a good alternative for treating menstrual disorders, including PMS and irregular cycles. Helps to reduce weight loss Ghee boosts the body’s metabolism, making it an effective weight loss tool. Consuming it allows the body to burn other fats, which results in weight loss. Post-surgery recovery In ancient India, cow ghee was used as a base to create wicks after surgery. Ayurvedic treatments often use it over surgical sutures to promote rapid healing. To cure piles and fistulas, doctors use a specific concoction called Kshara, which contains cow ghee. It is a remarkable healing capabilities make it an excellent choice following an accident or surgery. Initially, we put cow ghee into the ear lobes of youngsters to relieve discomfort and irritation while simplifying the piercing process. According to Ayurveda, “You are not what you eat. Instead, you are what you digest.” Your health is directly proportionate to your digestive fire (Agni). More than any other meal, ghee activates and improves your digestive fire or Agni. However, there are many scenarios when you should avoid it. Let’s discuss them. When Should You Avoid Ghee? It’s a vital topic because ghee is a healthy dairy product that contains no health risks when used in moderation. However, if you have pre-existing high cholesterol or high blood pressure issues and live a sedentary lifestyle, you should avoid consuming ghee. On the contrary, if your doctor advises you to avoid it in your diet, you should do so. Here are 5 situations when you should avoid having ghee according to Ayurveda. If You Suffer From Indigestion Ghee is heavy to digest. So, while it may act as a laxative for some, it may have the opposite effect for those suffering from indigestion. Also, if you have a fatty liver, including ghee in your diet isn’t a good choice. Because it is a dairy product, persons sensitive to milk proteins might experience a rash, hives, vomiting, or diarrhea. Similarly, people who are lactose intolerant may suffer bloating, gas, or stomach distress after eating ghee. On the other hand, this can reduce allergy symptoms since it is filtered and has no milk protein.

Dinner Options According to Ayurveda

Breakfast is generally thought of as the most important meal of the day. However, it does not mean that the other two meals are any less important. Many skip dinner so that they do not gain weight. But in reality, this practice can only disrupt the system, leading to health problems and weight gain. Ayurveda has always suggested healthy and light food for dinner. Our digestive fire (Agni) is the lowest in the last part of the day. When we eat heavy food with a high glycaemic index, our bodies do not digest it properly. Undigested food can lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body. This accumulation is called Ama, which becomes the reason for chronic diseases and much more in the long run. Hence, dinner has to be the lightest meal of the day according to Ayurveda. Here are the 7 dinner options that Ayurveda Vegetable soup Vegetable soup is packed with nutrients. It is also light and digestive, allowing you to go to bed without the feeling of a full stomach. Roasted vegetables Vegetables are light and rich in nutrients.

Lentil soup with green chutney Lentils are a great source of protein. A bowl of lentil soup with green chutney is light and easy to digest and is also complete with 6 tastes. You can add spices to the soup to make it more digestive and delicious. Barley soup A bowl of barley soup with spices and ghee is a healthy and easy-to-digest dinner option. It can help in weight loss and helps manage health conditions, such as diabetes and urinary system disorders. Krisra This Ayurvedic dish made with sona masoori rice, green mung beans, ginger, asafoetida, salt and ghee is what you can call a healing food. It is light and digests easily, and helps balance all three doshas of the body (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Vegetable tikkis with mint chutney Vegetable tikkis are delicious and contain all goodness of vegetables, making them a healthy dinner option.

According to Ayurveda, sex is one of the three main pillars of health after food and sleep. Apart from playing an important role in solidifying the relationship between two individuals, sex is also important for your overall health and wellness. However, low sexual health is one of the most common health issues many people face today. People who recovered from COVID-19 seem to have low sexual health and libido as one of the aftereffects. Food habits, lifestyle, stress and other associated factors can also affect your sexual health. Discussing about sexual health or visiting a doctor is often considered shameful though it is as important as your physical and mental health. So most probably, you will look forward to having supplements to boost libido. However, Ayurveda gives you a better choice. Instead of running behind supplements, try having food that enhances digestion (Agni) so that your body will be able to absorb all the nutrients from the food itself. You can try these 5 Best Foods for Sexual Health Pomegranate Consuming pomegranate on a daily basis helps improve libido and the quality of reproductive fluids.

Barley Soup Ayurveda suggests barley soup to be one of the best dinner options for the fact that it is packed with nutrients and is easy to digest.
