Transcript

seasonal habits are the seasonal regimens which one has to follow during particular season now before i start this session uh like see these seasonal changes and adaptations are here just uh as a base so now questions will arise this season is not in my country at all so according to your what the seasons that are prevalent in your country you can adopt the changes you can adopt the changes understand the concept here when we go deep into the in different uh seasons like you know in karna in india we are having six seasons in india we are having six seasons so may not be there in the place where you reside in the country where you are residing but accordingly you can make some changes accordingly if there are only three seasons two seasons or extreme winter extreme heat accordingly you can make changes just uh take the concepts of what we have depicted in the indian seasonal changes as a base and according to your country your place of stay and availability you can make certain changes okay so what is nothing but a season okay different features so in a different season we experienced different changes in the environment okay in summer there's a different change in autumn there's a change so based on those changes there is a change in the environment because of the change in the environment we are also seeing a change in the human body we are also seeing a change in the human body see we see various changes in biolife around us such as flowerings in spring leaf shedding in autumn okay and high hibernation of many animals in the winter and so on so there is a change in the climate according to the change in the climate there is a change in the whole uh living things all living things maybe plants maybe animals or maybe humans because of the change in the echo in the geographical conditions there is change in the humans change in the plants change in the animals okay so as human beings we are a part of the ecology we are also influenced by the change in the external environment environment so here in ritual concept we are going to study how are we going to adopt ourselves to the changes that we are going to experience in different climatic conditions if we do not adopt if we do not adopt ourselves to the change in the climate then there will be imbalance of doshas within the body and as we know though shavish mata will land up in a deceased state or will land up in certain health issues okay so what we are going to study here is how one has to adopt themselves what foods to be taken during those climatic conditions before we actually go to shadrutu's let me brief you about chad rasas let me brief you about shadrach we have six rasas so here we will be again studying about there is a little intra relation between the rutus and rasas okay so last time all of you clearly mentioned about the six rasashaya [Music] so accordingly the english terminologies are given so here we are having six roots we are having six rotus uh in the previous uh first in the first session we came across the concept of pancha mahabhutas can anyone tell me banja mahabhutas i'll start with one uh i'll say earth among the panchamahabhutas one of the mahabhuta is earth fire for uh are the basics for the any formation any substance on our earth is made up of pancha mahabhutas like you may be using your pc you may be using your laptop that is made up of okay it is we are all connected uh in this team's app it is through mahabhuta okay so like this everything in this universe is made up of pancha mahabhutas so here what i would like to say is in different routes these are six six seasons in these seasons there is change in these mahabhutas or these bahamutas are predominant because of the predominance of these mahabhutas rasas subsequently the rasas are predominant because of why and akasha being predominant is pradhana okay so this may be a little difficult for you to understand but just keep this in mind again in future slides we will see this so what i would like to say is in different seasons there is different mahabhutas which are predominant according to according to the predominant mahabhutas there are different rasas that are being formed yes so we have six uh that is we start from here shishira you can take it as winters okay early winter winter spring okay now again because of the pollution because of the pollution there are you know we may not experience exactly the same what we study or there may be a change wherein during the extreme summer also we may have rains winter onset may be a little late etc such seasonal changes are there okay okay now in india we are dividing in india we are dividing one year we are dividing one year or one uh yeah we are dividing one year into okay we are dividing one year into uttarayana and dakshinai one year is 12 months so these 12 months of the year are divided into six months each six months each uttarayana is the movement of the sun okay so uttarayana is the northern movement of the sun takshinayana is the southern movement of the sun uttara ida is the northern movement of the sun then movement of the sun now now what comes in uttarayana uttaraina and so one year one uh calendar cure is divided into two uttarayana and dakshinayana and we are having six roots as i mentioned decreases here the bala of the person increases below of the person increases here when i say bala refers to the strength strength of the person gradually decreases strength of the person gradually increases in shishira strength is there in vasantha further decreases here in krishna it further decreases here strength of the person is good further increases in hemantha we are having the highest bala highest strength so when we talk about balla it is about the physical strength it is about the physical strength physical capacity of the body to do some work physical capacity of the body to do work is called as i'll just give you an example for words like ruksha and but this is just an one basic example for the understanding of ruksha gunan's nik daguna how many of us are using body lotions for the dry skin yeah i am okay so you're using body yes so you're using body lotion on the skin to moisturize it to moisturize it so this moisturizing effect is seen in the china and the drying or the depletion effect is seen in uttaraina the depletion effect okay so there is loss of anxiousness over the skin loss of anxiousness is over the skin is in uttarayana and that affiliation effect moisturizing effect is seen in ayanna okay okay gradually decreases here bala gradually increases i repeat once again when we talk about bala it is the strength of the humans and also to some extent you can take it as the immunity of the individual also immunity also can be considered strength or simply the strength of a person to do his activities also can be taken [Music] okay moving on to first so for your better understanding it's considered as early winter it's considered as early winter okay so in here in india we take it as mid-november to mid january yes there are slight fluctuation in these calendar dates okay now what happens now now just keep in mind about early winter what are the changes just that you can keep in mind rather than the months proper okay so there is blow of cold winds and you feel cold you feel cold so predominant rasa during this season is madurai predominant mahabhuta is pruthway and aft and up so among the pancha maharoodas here is the earth up is the water so earth and water are predominant okay yes because of the cold wind cold wind is nothing but up and this coldness is pradhana so is earth is jello or water so here madura rasa is predominant the strength of a person remains on highest grade and v-shaped pikta dosha gets pacified so here always in hemanth or in the early winter it is one of the best specific climatic condition for the strength of the humans for the strength of the humans for all the like uh i in the previous graph in the first session we spoke about garba samskara in the first session we spoke about gerbastamskara for patients who come to us for you know pre-pregnancy counseling and all we pre-pregnancy counseling we ask them to plan for intercourse and plan for a child or plan for conception rather during the months of hemanth during the months of him and why the strength of the individual is good and we also believe that the fusion of the male and female gamete so the climatic conditions the uh what you call the psychological condition of the couple at the time of uh intercourse or at the time of conception has a very important role on the child that is born so for a if they want a child if they want to get a child who is having good strength then preferred uh duration or the climatic condition for conception would be the only reason being the strength of the individual is good okay activity of acne is also increased here activity of agni is also increased here now we know that agony of a person is good agni we refer to digestive capacity so i'll just before we go to the next slide i'll just give you an example we have three people i'll explain a little i'll give you a hint into agni we have three sets of people so uh one person is having uh five chapatis [Music] okay uh an individual is having four chapatis and one bowl of rice we have another individual who is having um three chapatis and one bowl of rice we have another person who is eating one chapati and a half bowl of fries so person who is eating the maximum he is having severe agni that means his digestive capacity is more person with three chakra path is moderate person with one chapati less so when we are having a person who is having agni so we have three types of agni so agni and mandagni so here in himantarutu agni is very much increased digestive capacity is very much increased so when you have good digestive capacity what is the amount of quantitative food one is supposed to take so a question when you are having good digestive capacity how should you take good amount of food or should you reduce the quantity of food increase the quantity increase the quantity so here when i spoke about three agnis is really good agni of an individual is good hence the foods that we are recommending in hemanth is milk butter jaggery tila is called as sesame tila is called as sesame sesam seeds black gram and freshly harvested rice freshly harvested or newly harvested rice any questions you want to ask here can be asked see in india okay good so in india we recommend to eat rice which is old at least three months old six months old but here in this condition we are asking people to eat freshly harvested rice why the water content of freshly harvested rice is more and maybe more difficult to digest i don't know it's just a thought yeah okay can somebody add on to this she has partly answered it is it more stretchy is it warm starchy exactly yes starch is heavy to digest and your friend also told that yes it is more having more of starch yes and for the digestion of starch you need really good agni and hence since in hemanth you are having good amount of agony you can use this kind of freshly harvested rice the same holds good for all the others also milk butter ghee jaggery tiller and black gram all these are rather may not be tiller or yeah jaggery but rest black gram ghee butter and milk so here we need or they are all prithvi and up mahabhuta prasana and they are taking longer time to digest so they need agni and this nagni is already prevalent when you are having thick snugly consuming all this any questions here okay moving on to the next slide yes since we have good agni that those are the kind of ahara which one is supposed to take which one is supposed to take next moving on to vihara so what are the activities and is good okay uh your strength is good since you are having good strength go for good workout go for good workout where the climatic condition is called where uh you know uh woolen clothes go for abhanga baby shirobhanga sarvanga bhanga and even shirodhara shirodhara what happens in cold climate is your skin tends to peel off your skin tends to become dry hence take care of your skin with respect with head massage with sarvanga bhangra that's the full body massage and shirodhara shirotara any questions this completes hemanth and here you can do work out to half of your capacity to half of your capacity when we studied about international we studied about he says due to climatic conditions humans are having good strength so they can do a good work as to half of their capacity half of their capacity okay and i have one more question here yeah that's actually related to uh the question from vyayama concept only okay so what do you personally feel should you go for gyming or should you go for yoga and simple loosening cardiac exercises intensive workout may be gymming in winters huh okay so you're telling with respect to the season yes in winters you can go for uh yeah go for activities in the gym that's okay but even if you go for activities in the gym no yeah that's correct for him and going to gym is uh acceptable but in general when you are having an option for using a gym and also a option for yoga and simple workouts go for yoga lesson and simple workouts why because you are not going to strain yourself much you are not going to over strain your body you're not going to over strain your mind over training will again land up in certain complications which we may not uh be aware that it is due to these exercises in recently in karnataka we have uh uh one of our famous actors raj kumar expired so uh post his death it was that he was a person with six packs etc but the cause of his death or he died due to myocardial infarction the reason being excessive workouts at the gym reason being excessive workouts at the gym so do not go for excessive so that's why achara charaka will jogging be considered intense see every anything will not be considered as intense it depends on the quantity how much you are doing and how your body is responding to that see a person is going to jog for five kilometers he may not be stressed but the same the other person who is doing it for five kilometers he may be stressed see we cannot quantify this we cannot quantify this it is up to you how your body responds by jogging up to two kilometers if you are feeling exhausted kindly stop it there hmm okay so it is how your body is i told you one thing wherein you are going to check your other sweating on the forehead but sometimes obvious people sweat very immediately even they jog up to half a kilometer to one kilometer they start sweating that is because they are having adipose tissue much in the body and hence they sweat but for the others how much your body can do you like you should be comfortable at the end of the exercises or jogging whatever you do if you feel you're not comfortable you feel you're over doing it then that's the time you need to reduce the amount you have done thank you yeah but here i think agni is good we need to take foods which are kapha predominant and not vata aggravating foods vata aggravating foods such as laghu shetha and dry okay you should not take foods which are light which are cold and which are dry intake of cold drinks is contraindicated exposure to strong and cold wind habit of day sleep etcetera are to be avoided here see uh in ayurveda we give much importance to sleeping during the day we give much importance to sleeping during the day do not sleep during the day but that increases the kapha in the body that increases the kapha in the body uh okay if you are healthy if you are healthy do not sleep during the day okay only in greece muruto or in summer season sleeping during the day is advisable sleeping during the days advisable rest other routes it's not advisable again we have exceptions people who are suffering from ailments suffrage who are deceased in pregnancy and during the childhood those conditions they can sleep in all seasons during the day that is because they need to conserve energy but in case of uh healthy people do not make it a habit today's sleep especially people being obese people suffering from thyroids people suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 do not have a habit of sleeping during the day if diabetes mellitus type 2 being lean diabetics then you can sleep during the day else sleeping during the day time is contraindicated okay it is made january to mid march so here uh is nothing but an intense form of him intense form of hemantha environ environment remains cold along with cold wind so here the predominant rasa and mahabhuta are akasha mahabhuta the strength of the person becomes less deposition of the kapha dosha occurs and agni remains in a higher state okay so since we know shishwara too the climate is going to be much more colder so massage with oil powder paste etc is advisable bathing with lukewarm water or hot water exposure to sunlight wearing warm clothing exposure to sunlight if at all it is there else going into fireplace and exposing oneself is also advisable so the reason is understand here that it is cold winter do not take cold foods do not expose yourself to cold people who are in extremes of cold climate you might notice we are having a frostbite throat etcetera okay the foods having cut too thick are to be avoided lagoo and cheetah foods are to be avoided because if you take laghu and shita light is easy to digest if you take easy to digest and cheetah foods then what will happen you are going to if you're taking sheath of foods you are going to further hamper your agni and laguahara will not lagu ahara will not kindle the digestive fire will not kindle the digestive fire and water aggravating lifestyle like exposure to cold wind should not be done exposure to cold wind should not be done reason being since you are exposing yourself to cold wind there may be chances of paralysis there may be chances of frostbite trench foot in cases of extreme climates extreme climate sleeping at late night is not advisable why it will cause again vata procopa in the body it will cause again waterproof copper in the body so it will cause an imbalance in vata dosa hence it's avoided any questions here for shishirarutu she should repeat an intense form of hemantaru so the do's and don'ts everything apply the same for both moving on to vasanth so the approximate time is from mid-march to mid may here in india we have the fruiting season here the season is considered a season of flowering and origin of new leaves predominant rasa is kashayarsa and mahabhutas are between mahabhuta strength of the person remain in moderate degree and kapha dosha kapha dosha is aggravated kapha dosha is aggravated that means kapha dosha is ready to get eliminated from the body agni is manda agni is okay so here what you understand here is as restrained as the strength of the sun increases the kapha which is aggravated in him and starts melting and obstructs the generation causes many diseases i will explain this and rukshatra increases kapha is aggravated in the body it is aggravated so much that it can be easily eliminated out of the it can be easily eliminated out of the body so since it is going to be eliminated out of the body here we can do procedures like woman a pancha karma woman okay so when we can somebody tell me which are the pancha in this we are doing vamana because kapha dosha is accumulated in him just because now that accumulated kapha is having a change in that accumulation it is ready to expel in vasanth so we are giving vamana as a treatment here to expel the affected kapha dosha to expel the accumulated kapha dosha so uh so there was a question in previous sessions asked like in healthy people or can we do panchakarma we are giving it for the healthy also we are giving it for the healthy also yes for disease we are doing it for the disease purpose for the healthy to maintain the health so even in healthy and also unhealthy people there is kapha accumulation so we try to evacuate the kapha that is being expelled up so here it is that's been done from the head and neck we are going to do messiah as a treatment we are going to do as a tree yes so here anjana i told you anjali is done to the eyes to eliminate the kapha out of the eye to eliminate the kapha out of the eye yes now what is this treatment any guesses i mean dry powder massage very good who said that right it's correct it's a dry powder massage so for dry powder massage we don't call it as younger we call it okay so in the previous class a section studied that udvartana is a dry powder massage done to eliminate the kapha dosha out of the body we are doing gud or a dry powder massage to eliminate the kapha dosha out of so here the treatments what we are seeing all four are done to eliminate the vitiated kapha dosha out of the body okay so here when you are studying the area what you need to understand it is nothing but the doshik treatment it is nothing but the treatment of the doshas okay because see here in vasantha kapha dosha has to be removed out so you need to do treatments which will remove the kafadosha out of the body family is a treatment nasa is a treatment uh uduarthana is a treatment anjan is a treatment all these treatments aim at eliminating the kapha dosha out of the body okay so here another here yes bihara so among that one more is to do exercises so so by exercising you're going to reduce the kapha dosha within the body by exercising you're going to reduce the kapadosa within the body any questions is anjuna the same as no that's different is pouring of medicated heal to the eye and eyes are blinking okay that is nice okay indicator okay okay but yes if you have a patient and in them if you feel depleted in the eye only then you can do ah there or else you should not do okay thank you okay doctor just clarification the dry massage uh we should not do it if uh patients are suffering from lower back pain yes low back pain cardiac issues recent mi recent uh your operations for strengthening angioplasty recent angioplasty dry powder massage is not advisable okay i'll repeat low back pain recent history of mi a recent angioplasty okay or any such cardiac issues it should not be done woman also is contraindicated in recent mi recent cardiac issues abnormal ecg woman is not advisable okay aha you understand the concept as to why so you can adopt it according to you know may not be uh changes in the root but simply adopting the simply observing the changes within the body also you can adopt these concepts sheet and smith that is cold and anxious foods cold unknows and heavy to digest foods are not advised in this season why because already there is kapha dosa accumulated you take cold you take untous you take heavy foods again the food becomes or again it again it will further accumulate the kapha dosha within the body here in this season we are not giving the freshly harvested rice we are giving the old rice why because already kapha is accumulated in the body you take freshly harvested rice again it will further accumulate kapha dosha in the body here we have to give old rice preferably the old rice amla and maduros are also not advised amla and madura rasa why again they will accumulate the kapha within the body okay so when we say these are not advisable that means they are going to increase the dosa within the body see again he says newly harvested grains curd cold rings are also to be prohibited they sleep is strictly strictly contraindicated why because we are in a position to eliminate the kapha dosha out of the body if you sleep during the day again you are going to increase the accumulation of kapha within the body hence not advisable okay was there any questions so you can take this as simply treatment for kapha dosha do's and don'ts or ahara and vihara can be taken as treatment for kapha dosha within the body one thing i missed he says old barley old wheat honey honey has a scraping action honey has scraping action hence or it will help in removing the kawagunsha out of the body hence honey is indicated in pasantharu too old barley old wheat by purana foods purana grains or old rice they are going to have less starch less carbohydrates hence they can be given in this particular clear yes when we have ghee and honey as an option okay he is more nourishing honey is more depleting he is more nourishing hani is more depleting okay now you have two people one is said to be well built when okay you have one person who is obese one person who is lean okay you have two patients or you have two participants one is obese one is lean belly now you need to choose whether to give honey or ghee to which person will you give honey to which person will you give ghee so the properties of the both i'm telling in one line honey is going to be depleting in nature he is going to be nourishing in nature so what will you choose for obese what will you choose for lean yes okay does anyone else have any other opinions uh sometimes an obese person can also be uh very unhealthy so he can also nourish them yes can bali be sprouted can barley be sprouted i haven't tried that i feel it is it cannot be sprouted i don't know if anybody here in the meeting has an input can share but i personally feel it cannot be sprouted i don't know i haven't tried okay thank you yes so one of your friends answered honey is given for the obese and for the lillian built this ghee that should be given so the another rationality for me to ask this question is you should understand where to use honey where to use ghee the same now the obese person can be compared to kapha the lean person can be compared to vata in vata you are going to give ghee in kapha you are going to use honey you are going to give honey so wherever you feel it is kapha dosha that's aggravated you honey wherever you feel vata dosha is aggravated ghee simple i will apply this to cough i will apply this concept to cough you have a dry cough and you have a productive cough dry coffees you are simply coughing productive coffees wherein you cough and the sputum the kapha comes out of the body the sputum comes out the phlegm comes out of the body when you're having phlegm coming out that is kavaja dosa or kapha jakasa you choose honey when you're having a dry cough simply keep on coughing and it's irritating and then you have pain in that condition give ghee it i just want to find out if anyone else having a problem with your voice bouncing okay you so only the last concept wasn't audible sound on my side is fine okay actually the speakers are fine but uh only you doctor and you speaking it seemed like it's bouncing on my side so it could be a problem okay done so in a nutshell and vihara can be considered for the treatment of kapha dosha okay moving on to another fourth grishma made may to mid july is considered as grisham summer environment is prevalent with intense heat and unhealthy wind river bodies are dried and the plants appear lifeless predominantly punjab mahabhutas are agni and vata the strength of the person becomes less yes in krishna we do not have good strength deposition of vata dosha occurs but the initiated kapha dosha specified during this season agni of the person will remain in my mild state strength of a person is reduced strength of the person is reduced okay yes okay so in greece what you do all of us are you assume yourself you're in the summer season what is that would you like to choose to eat or drink to drink yeah to drink yes why because we are having we are having mild acne and we are also having depletion of water from the body in the form of sweat so hence your body demands for liquids so that it can replenish the water levels within the body yes so here we are giving fruits like watermelon raisins tender coconut water from earthenware water from earthenware buffalo milk or cow's milk milk is advised okay so just understand here since again is reduced since acne is reduced and also because of the climatic condition there is depletion of water from the body it is depletion of water from body hence you need to replenish your body hence you need to replenish your body with liquids hence you need to replenish your body with liquids and also liquids which are easy to digest which are easy to digest because agni of the person is reduced agni of the person or the digestive capacity an individual is reduced i told you here the agni comes to state aki is in the state of that go back to the example of four chapati three the pattern your acne is reduced to such a level wherein you can digest only two japanese okay so what is the bihar one supposed to do spend time in gardens or wherever there's canopies or wherever there is greenery just masking yourself from the sun swimming etc water activities paste of sandalwood paste of sandalwood and wearing pearls fanning yourself etc so you will tell me madam why all this we are using acs in summer okay the lifestyle modification as per your needs and convenience you have adopted okay ahar and we are to be avoided lavana and itself is hot take you would not like to eat something hot in summers you would like to choose something just cold and also lavana kathu and amla they will further increase water dosha in the body hence they are not advisable excessive exercise or hard work is to be avoided alcoholic preparations are prohibited and during this season sleeping during the day is very much advisable sleeping during the day is advisable in case of krishna the only or the only season where acharya's recommend sleeping during the day why because we need to save our energy our bala is very less strength of an individual is very less just to restore the strength within the body we need to have sleep we need to have good sleep yes moving on to last moving on to last meeting mid july to mid september is considered as varsharov during this season the sky is covered by clouds and rains river bodies etc are filled with water and the predominant rasa is amla rasa and mahabhutas are pretty and ugly the strength of the person again becomes less vitiation of vata dosha and deposition of pikta dosha agniya also gets initiated sheena agni and bala here the strength of the person is reduced sharika ballah is reduced acne is reduced there is appreciation of vishesh is ready to be expelled out of the body okay so here that's the rainy season so it's rainy since it's rainy season there is because the water flows from one place to another place it is contaminated it's contaminated so better boil the water and drink better purify the water and drink here it is green gram green gram see green gram is one of the dicotyledons green gram is one of the dichotoms dicotyledons among die cotyledons green gram is the one which is easy to digest green gram is the one which is easy to digest so we are making a soup out of it we are see when you are having people from india can answer this i think you can understand this in a better way if you see when i told the green gram is easy to digest among the dichotoms dicotyledons are among the pulses we recommend green gram because it's easily to digest in varisha root or in rainy season we are advising green gram soup we are not advising green grams or sweet green grams why can anybody from india answer this yeah if mala singh underage if you are uh having an answer you can because sweets will have sugar and that will increase the acidity in the body okay yeah sweets will have sugar we having sugar it's not acidity having sugar again they become heavy to digest here we need to understand agni is less you need to see whenever we go to restaurants or if we are having soups if we are starting our meals with soup why we are starting our meals with cooks to kindle our digestive fire to increase our appetite here we are giving dicotyledon soups or we are giving dicotyledons in the in the form or blending and spice and we are giving why because we need to increase the digestive capacity we need to increase the agni if we give if we give the same dichotomy done or the same cereals sorry same pulses with sweet then we are further or we need to further take care of the digestive capacity the best treatment is guess this nemo name this panchakarma which is this i told you it cleanses the lower gi enema enema yeah very good if any so we are giving this enema we are giving this busty treatment to eliminate the vata dosha out of the body to eliminate the vata dosha out of the body so learning from this slide is version can be taken as treatment moralities to treat vata dosha within the body to treat vata dosha within the body yes since it's bashar too i have just put in contents from ashtangalurya you may feel it uh a little uh what you call less you feel it a little childish but yes so the clothes need to be pressed the reason being that clothes don't dry soon so don't wear wet clothes and you know bring in fungal infections etc to the body okay aahara and vihara to be avoided intake of water etc foods which are heavy and hard to digest so i hear that same concept heavy and hard to digest or the green gram sweets are not advisable rather green gram soups are advisable again when we have engram and black crab people from india people from india green gram and black gram we have options green gram soup and a black gram sweet flagrance you cannot do actually okay we have green gram soup and of black gram soup ask for classic onions mom can you repeat it please uh [Music] okay so we have an option here it's equally difficult to hear yeah i understand maybe everybody has to mute first yeah one of them okay yes now this one can you please check it out yeah we have an option for you and black gram okay green gram sweet and a black gram sweet we need to understand that though both being dicotyledons are though both being pulses but green gram is the one heavy to digest black gram is the one green gram is light to digest black gram is the one heavy to digest black gram is the one heavy to digest so when we have an option for these two in varshar you can choose in rainy season you can choose green crab but if you have an option for a green gram sweet and a black gram sweet go for a green gram sweet comparatively green gram sweet is easy to digest than compared to a black gram sweet that's how you need to modify your diet in the kitchen as per the doshas and the climatic conditions okay so though green gram and black gram both belong to the variety of dichotoms green gram is the best why because it is easy to digest black gram we do not consider the best because it is heavy to digest but the same thing black gram is advisable in case of shishirarutu blackgram is advisable in cases of extreme winters black gram is advisable in extreme winters why see i am advising green gram to be taken during varsharotu or during rainy season but i am advising green gram should be taken during the winter season why because it increases the digestive fire the agni in the body uh oh no okay okay so we are advising black gram in extreme winters why because our already agni digestive capacity is very high since it is high it will be able to digest the black gram during this time sun becomes bright the sky remains clear and sometimes with clouds covered with wet mud okay upper and agni are mahabhutas is predominant strength of the person remains medium classification of v-shaped was aggravated that is pacified in and there is initiation of pitta dosha there is vitiation of piktudosa and increases during the agni is little better in pitta dosha now sharathrotu is pretty predominant agni is slightly increased you are giving green gram you are giving honey you are giving a panchayati this is a medicine this is a medicine panchayati so here we were talking about ghee consumption etc when we come to usage of ghee he is better advised for pitta dosha he is better better advice for pita dosa barley and wheat are advisable this is indian gooseberry for the people who are not from india this is indian gooseberry indian gooseberry is advisable in this root is a medicine it is a medicine which is uh processed with pictures it is a medicine which is processed with thick are used in the processing of ghee [Music] we are advising application of sandalwood paste application of pearls and also using or exposing oneself to moonlight [Music] exposing oneself to moonlight exposing oneself to online uh in ayurveda we are having few preparations which we are doing on exposure to moonlight so here the reason of exposure to moonlight is that it's going to imbibe the cooling properties of the moon it's going to imbibe the cooling properties of the moon okay like uh medicines like pravala pishti uh medicines like pravara pishti we are using why because they're having cooling nature they're having cooling nature and it is processed under the moonlight under the moonlight that means we are going to sit in the uh sit outside and expose to the night sky and prepare the medicine reason being we need to imbibe the cool nature of like the moon what are the treatments that we are doing in character so can you guess some treatment seeing these images we came across as a treatment for leech therapy for varicose veins therapy there's one treatment wherein there is loose tools so which is the treatment we reach in yeah so here see is the treatment done for pitta dosha so as i said here there is pikta dosha that's been aggravated pitta dosha is aggravated so eliminate the to eliminate the pitta dosha we need to do virechana in sharon can be adopted as a treatment for pitta dosha each therapy can be done when a section can be done virijana can be done so in using loose tools doing very section doing leech therapy practice are the treatments one can adopt during the okay now that completes all the six ruthus so basically i would again say that understand the changes accordingly adopt what you can follow during those regimens now is the seven days so we have two assuming we have grishma and vasharu okay which means the rainy season uh sorry summer workshop is the rainy season you you take the last seven days or the last one week of rishma route and the next seven week of the uh uh this thing um last seven days of grishmaruthu and the next seven days of versa so you get a days you get a uh days of 14 days or you get a period of two weeks that period what you're supposed to do is paper the habits of the grishvarutu and adopts the have adopt the habits of adopt so you are going to taper the activities or the lifestyle of the food habits of the previous and you are going to adopt the habit and lifestyle of the next of the succeeding so that is called as by doing this we are not immediately switching over our lifestyle from one to other we are gradually tapering our lifestyle from one kind of lifestyle to another so that is yes am i horrible now yes can you just explain that again to me about the uh the last part that you spoke about yeah i will which is increased in the body so treatments like verbal are to be done udvarthana to be done anjana to be done nastya to be done okay next krishna since the strength of the person is less vata dosha is aggravated you can sleep during the day and you should use plenty of fluids plenty of fluids or liquid diet pastu contaminated water so take care of the water you drink it is in this season people are prone to upper respiratory tract infections viral fevers dengue etc so take care of waters water should not be accumulated in and around your house to prevent diseases factor-borne diseases drink boiled water treatment of choice is busty treatment of choices is more you have to go for pitta or pitta pacifying condition okay any questions no questions normally people have the habit of sleeping after a lunch that means you should avoid sleeping after lunch for uh 15 20 minutes see if you're sleeping for 15-20 minutes and if it has become your habit you can continue you can continue but if you're sleeping for long hours during the day especially it happens with how they sleep for two to three hours just because they don't have any work to do that is not advisable okay thank you now sleeping during did they affect your diabetes see sleeping during the day how it will affect diabetes i will tell you sleeping during the day we are going to increase the kapha dosha in the body diabetes mellitus is also a disease caused due to kapha dosha in the body so it will aggravate the kapha dosha internal aggravating the diabetes mellitus again when we talk about diabetes mellitus we classify them into two diabetes mellitus who are lean built and who are obese built so this affects this applies to people who are obese built and pathetic who are obviously diabetic you will see diabetic people who sometimes have initially when they are diagnosed with the case of dm2 they are they have lost weight suddenly you know 10 15 kg suddenly they have lost weight but you also see some people who are having diabetes and after 10-15 years they tend after 10-15 years of being diagnosed with diabetes they tend to lose weight after 10-15 years that means kapha japanese diabetes is becoming water diabetes is becoming water diabetes so there is a change in the doshas that are being affected so accordingly you should plan is diabetic reversible say diabetes is not reversible if it you want to reverse it you have to make a lifestyle change say diabetes mellitus is a lifestyle disorder you bring back the normals in your lifestyle you will be free from diabetes it is affecting people with all the luxurious lifestyle keep these sugars for diabetes we cannot take sugar at all in case of diabetes see it is not like you cannot take if you are doing good workout you can take if your physical activities are good you can take thank you uh normally i've noticed that people who suffer with diabetes they receive an injection to avoid this can you advise please what do you want me to advise see people who are on diabetes mellitus they are taking insulin injections yes so what should i advise them is it is it a good thing to do or you rather take some like ayurvedic medicines for it yeah already on insulin that means his diet his blood sugar levels are not under control his blood sugar levels are not under control hence after giving tablets if his blood sugar levels are not coming under control then only they are putting patients on insulin then only they are putting patients on insulin it is not we cannot treat people on insulin dependent diabetes but the thing is yes we need to have a close monitoring of the patient and yes we can we draw them from insulin again close monitoring of the patient is required thank you [Music] uh doctor can i ask a question yes please uh i know in your last session you spoke about gold using gold as as medicine can you give us a bit more explanation on that okay see when we are using gold as a medicine we consider gold to be a heavy metal okay so we have uh swarder tamra loha nagawanga so that's gold silver uh iron uh pain lead etc come under heavy metals okay so when we are using gold as a medicine we are going to purify that we have certain methods of treating that particular gold it may be in the form of purification in the form of dipping it in some kashayas or subjecting it to putties putty is nothing but incineration technique it's an incineration technique not everybody can do that people who are specified in the branch of prasastra people who are specified in a branch of rashastra that is people are specified to who learn the pharmaceutical medical preparations only those branches the quality check it is subjected to quality check only then that particular medicine is released into the market it has various purification and predictment measures that particular gold itself is being purified and treated with certain medicines and only then it becomes uh ready to use for the human body okay and and what do we use it for what type of ailments do we use this uh the goal for see see sometimes when we are having cases of chromatid arthritis which is very severe not coming into control so in that condition we are going to give gold replications cold precautions like that same medicine to that same medicine gold is being added okay then that we get little faster results and also for uh soothsay kerala we get sworn sakura patients with acidity you know uh four to five years they're suffering from acidity and any medicines we are giving there is no much result then we go for smooth sakura rasa with gold wherein we get better results or what you can say is chronic and difficult to cure cases we are using gold as one of the ingredients to faster or if we get better results and also as i told yesterday we are using it in swarner gold alone is the ingredient there we are using it for surana prasanna in children gold is said to be immunomodulated okay thank you welcome talking about acidity you have a small doubt actually in case acidity is advisable to take lemon salt in the morning without adding water can we take lemon lemon lemon sauce that extract of the lemon without adding any water to be taken uh empty stomach in the morning that is by a natural birth actually how it is advisable to ayurveda there is an acidity is nothing but uh this thing what you call acid reflex so here they have uh advised you uh the lemon juice along with salt we usually give it nothing no salt also just extract acidities you take in the early morning after morning but one of the fruits which belong to the lion family we are using and that is also giving us good results me any more questions shall we wind off the sanction yes it was a very nice session thank you yeah thank you it was a really nice session doc it's just that i need to get used to the different types of words like sharad and falsehood you know we haven't heard these words before so it's just uh gonna take some time to get used and familiarize myself with this yeah yeah meanwhile yes okay thank you yeah thank you so much it was very okay i'll end the session you
