Next topic of discussion: Management of Common Cold

(Sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, nasal allergy, burning/irritation in nose, sinusitis, DNS, etc.)

17882: Common Cold (Pratiśyāya)

 Concept:

Nidāna like cold exposure, dust, cold/heavy food → Kapha vitiation with Vāta anubandha → Kapha sthāna sañcaya in Nāsa & Śira (Urdhvajatrugata region) → obstruction of Prāṇavaha srotas → Pratiśyāya.

Key Symptoms:

• Frequent sneezing

• Nasal discharge or blockage

• Heaviness of head

• Mild headache

• Cough, throat irritation

• Reduced appetite (Mandāgni)

Effective Panchakarma Management:

• Dīpana–Pācana to correct Agni

• Mild Abhyanga + Swedana to liquefy Kapha

• Nasya (Anu taila / Shadbindu taila) – treatment of choice

• Dhoomapāna & warm Kavala/Gandūṣa for residual Kapha

• Vamana only in chronic, recurrent Kapha-pradhāna cases (seasonal & selective)

 Result :

✔ Clears Kapha from root

✔ Relieves nasal & head symptoms

✔ Prevents recurrence

✔ Improves respiratory immunity

Next topic of discussion : Eye infection in monsoon

 

Vd. Ketan bhimani: Any infections are occurs due to snigdha, pichhil gun and kled karma of kapha dosha. Due to much stickyness in prakruti, it will be agravates in every 'kha marg' that are openings of body.

Dr. Prerak Shah: Can someone talk about Netradhara? not Netratarpan....I wish I can know more about Netradhara - practically  how it is done and with which ingredients? Thnx

Vd Bhargaviben: શુધ્ધ ટંકણ થી નેત્રપ્રક્ષાલન

Dr. Prerak Shah: Netra tarpan and netra dhara - are different processes ? Netra prakshalan is also a part of Netra dhara, I think. Prakshalan means to clean ?

Vd. Ketan bhimani: અભ્યંગ, સેક, પિચુ, Basti; 4 category

Vd Garima Shukla: Yes, tarpan and dhars are different processes.

Vd Khamar: अक्षि कुक्षी भवा रोगा, पंच रात्रि लंघनात   , સૂત્ર ના ઉપયોગ થી ઝડપી અને વધુ સારું પરિણામ મળે છે.બાહય  પ્રયોગ ની સાથે દવા જરૂરી છે.

Dr. Vinayak B More: For eyes trouble due to conjunctivitis HOMOEOPATHIC medicine EUPRASIA 30 gives excellent results.

Dr Bhanuprasad B Patel: સૂત્ર સત્ય છે.હુ અનેક  દર્દીઓ ઉપર અજમાવી સફલ પરિણામ મેળવી ચૂક્યો છુ.

Vd. Mehulbhai Sanghani: Axi kuxi bhava rogah pratishyay vran jwarah .. aa 5 rogah nashyanti panch ratren langhnat

Dr. Pulkit Baxi: વ્યક્તિ વ્યક્તિ એ, પ્રકૃતિ મુજબ સમય અવધિ અલગ અલગ ન હોય શકે??? જેમ blood pressure 120/80 એક standard normal healthy person mate chche. Pan 110 to 140 systolic nd 70 to 90 diastolic aapne normal kahiye chchiye. Bdhane panch ratri j required hoi evu jaruri hase??? Have to lifestyle pan ghni alag chche. Badhani. સમય મુજબ નિતી નિયમો માં ફેરફાર નહીં કરવાના?? પંચકર્મ પહેલા પણ - લંઘન પાચન  કહ્યું છે એમાં પણ ત્રણ થી પાંચ દિવસ પ્રકૃતિ મુજબ કહ્યા જ છે ને!! એમાં પણ હવે સમય મુજબ પરિવર્તન ન માગે???

Dr. Vinayak B More: Panch karm na name have 70 % jagya a only naturopathy jevi treatment thati hoy chhe.

Dr. Sanjay Chajed: In certain pan ophthalmic infection Netra dugdhadhara  is performed with excellent output. Netradhara needed to be done with caution. I prefer netradhara on closed eyes for 10-12 minutes. Eye wash ( Netra prakshalan) is very different from netradharaÿ.

Vd. Rajal shukla: CP Shukla Dada sadhya Vaman karavta ... Samay ane dhosho anusar .. me joya chhe ... Emna letters me sachavi rakhya chhe kyarek scan Kari ne badha group ma mukish. Janva malshe.

Dr. Pulkit Baxi: હું એમ માનું છું કે  નિરામ અવસ્થા સુધી પહોંચે દર્દી, શરીર હળવું લાગે, કડકડતી ભૂખ તરસ લાગે, મળ શુદ્ધિ થાય ત્યાં સુધી લંઘન પાચન કરાવું જોઈએ. શાસ્ત્રોમાં લખ્યું છે એ ફક્ત દિશા નિર્દેશ છે, એ, જેતે સમયનું એક standard time period છે.

 Vd. Rajal shukla: Take a glass of water and add ½ tsf of Tankankashra in it. Put a small ladies handkerchief in it. Boiled this water. When water boiled, turn off the gas stove and cover the water with lid. Then after 30min (when the water temp. come at our body temp.) open the lid. With your clean hand, take a handkerchief from the water. Clean your eyes with this handkerchief, 3 times a day. One handkerchief is for one eyes, Don’t use this on your another eyes. This will effect very much in this infected eye and itching too.

Dr. manish Mukati: Netra dhara is one kind of dhara karma for Netra, in which हिम फांट क्वाथ of flowers like sadabahar,gudhal, rose etc only watery preparation is used.  Only sukhoshn drav ( liquid at body temperature) or ishat shita (slightly cold than 36'c ) should be use. (No any fatty substance are use in Netra or akshi dhara). A funnel of Jack tree leaf or kanchnar tree leaf is used to make dhara in akshi. Procedure is done in open eye. For 2 to 5 min. Both eye.In our area , we use to make hima or fant in earthen pot so we assume this isotonic in nature. If you use steel vessel add sendhav to make is isotonic to tear. Netra dhara is considered here as purvakarma if Netratarpana. In netrabhishyand slightly hypertonic solution can be use, but for short time. Tankan/ sphatic can be added for same purpose As per therapeutic need. Netradhara  is more in practice in Kerala & Karnataka.

Dr.Pratibha Knere: Itone eye drops for irritating n dry eyes..... personally i got good relief from these drops compared to other drops available in the market like Himalayas...khojati.......eyemantra etc Himalaya eye drops are good for dry eyes....it doesn't causes irritation after putting in eyes..... very natural like water

Dr Poornima: Application  of pure coconut oil over eyelids and eyelashes works very well in both preventive and curative aspects.

Dr Anshul Bahl: Eye infection can be due to vata kopa/vata-kapha kopa here and also there could be aam/saama awastha with it .So we should be aware of this before applying any snigdha,picchila guna yoga or taila .Saama dosha pachana should be done first and if its in kevala awastha (niraama ) then we can apply kriyakalpas that is suitable to the state and stage of roga. Pathya should be taken such as moonga dal,godhuma,raktshali,wheat daliya etc. Eating shimbi dhanya daily and also in night time can cause eye problems.

Dr. Saprsh: Triphala kashaya pariseka over the eyelids reduces any inflammation, redness and pain

Dr. Nimish Oza : રાતે તાંબાના પાણી ભરેલા લોટામાં ત્રિફળા ચૂર્ણ mix કરીને આખી રાત રાખી સવારે તેનું પાણી આંખમાં છાંટવાથી અને પછી ત્રિફળા ચૂર્ણનો રગડો ખાલી પેટે ખાવાથી conjutivtis માં ફાયદો થાય? (Mixing Triphala Churna in a copper glass filled with water at night and keeping it overnight and sprinkling its water in the eyes in the morning and then eating triphala Churna on an empty stomach is beneficial in conjutivtis? )

Dr Kamalben: Yes, Dodi eye drops is more better.

Dr. Dipakbhai Kotadia: Rasaanjan churn is useful in netrabhishyand.

Dr. Malathi Arjun: Everyday I get cases of people  who have allergy symptoms such as sneezing, sneezing, and nasal congestion. These are treated using haridrakhand DKT kasayam , laxmi vilas ras , Agatha hargitay and so on.  But allergies  affect the eyes, too. They can make your eyes red and itchy, triggering burning.

Dr. Nimish Oza: I think patients may be using gadgets like computer , mobile , laptop and much more watching TV.

Next topic of discussion :Influence of digestive system on our emotions

Dr. Dhruti Kagrana: The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation — all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach's juices before food gets there.

Dr. Mario Herrera: There is a bidirectional flow of neuroendocrine information between the brain and the gut. Aproximately 90% of serotonine in produce in the gut. In consecuence an alteration of gut flora can be found related to alteration of mood disorders Aay Stu Santoki Raj Batukbhai

Santoki Raj: Due to swingness of the mood digestion of the food can't be proplery. due to indigestion rasa seshajirna formed and rasa dhatu can't form in proper way later rakta-mamsa-meda-etc can't form in proper way so sara dhatu can't being in proper way so they will effect on disease

Dr. Smita Kosare: Darshan, Sparshan of food requires presence of mind in the indriyas for knowing the food- as a subject. Wherever mind has its presence-it has its Guna- satwa, raja and tamo acting on the subject matter. Emotions are an orchestra of these 3 mind guans. With this understanding I think anything that’s consumed has ability to influence the digestive system.

Dr. Dipesh Thacker: Influence of GIT is very clear on our mood. If GIT is proper, mood will be very good. If it is disturbed, mood will not be good. But, there is huge influence of Mind ( मन) on GIT When it is in Kshobh, means sadness, depression Agnimandhya  occurs. That leads to many other conditions. Similarly Bhaya or Shok, or Kshobh give rise to ATISAAR too. Even IBS / IBD has too much significance of Psyche.

Dr. Jigar Narsana: Also in sadvrut prakarana (ch.su.8/20) acharya stated that one should not eat with stressed or depressed mind (full of negative emotions ) Also further in the chapter they said that there is also importance of who made the food... how food will be digested is also depends on emotions of  cook too. Our ancestors first take  bath , poojan/ reciting mantras  before eating food for balancing the emotions Arochak , ashradhdha  word given in samhitas which can describes improper emotions and formation of  aam dosh.

Vd. Jayesh Thakkar: Gut-Brain Connection  GI disorders has pshyco-somatic connection.  The influence of digestive system on our emotions every individual experiences... The Ahaar niyaam and processes to sadvritta mentioned in shastra Be it Saad-Rasa effect on Mana - Samana Vayu - Sroto Vishodana to ultimate product the influences are seen

Gayatarya bhardwaj: Ref. are there in bhagwat Gita about how Rajas, Tamsasik and sattvik diet influences personality

Robert Kibet: Can over eating dull the intelligence of the mind, and which hours after eating can the mind work best in conducting a task? Is katu avasthapaka the stage in which the intelligence and concentration is much better, in reference to sandhaka pitta?

Gayatarya bhardwaj: Right after having a meal , a person undergoes Madhur avastha , and kapha increases in our body,  leads to lethargy

Dr. Ashokkumar Sing: Yes, After completion of digestion when all carbohydrates fat gets digested their waste shed off from blood mind became sharp active , whole cycle takes about 45 minutes to 2 hours. Due to formation of alcohol after fermentation of cereals mind became dull for some time Lesser the grains n cereals in food higher the mind active

 Aparna Deshpande: Not following your sentence- "Due to formation of alcohol after fermentation of cereal..." please help me understand this Right, so with this brain-gut axis ( two way street, bridge) 

1.do you think psychological treatments also helps gut, digestive system ?

2. And 95% of serotonin  are found in gut, is my understanding correct?

Dr. Ashokkumar Sing: Over eating means 'adhyasan' , which means taking another meal before the first meal is digested , if one continue over eating it give rise formation of aam ie sleshma sansthan is disturbed ( function of stomach(secretions)hence it's pH gets affected , instead of proper digestion fermentation of food started in stomach, end product of fermentation of food give rise alcohol , alcohol gives sedative effect hence body n mind gets dull .  Improper digestion of or weak digestion causes fermentation of food which are rich in cereals or grains (carbohydrates)

Aparna Deshpande: Oh I see, got it

Dr. Ravindra Upadhyay: Excessive drinking of water comes in the way of treatment of any disease, as it dilutes the enzymes, ( पाचक पित्त ), giving rise to आम or Endotoxin.  रोगाः सर्वेऽपि मन्दागौ   Use of Samasharkara, has been found very useful

DOSE will vary person to person and  SEASON ( ऋतु ) WHILE TREATING ANY DISEASE WE HAVE TO IMPROVISE DIGESTION DIGESTION  CAN NOT BE IMPROVED WITHOUT CHANGING  FOOD HABBITS, DRINKING WATER HABBITS DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER WILL SPOIL METABOLISM, THIS IN TURN WILL NOT ALLOW PROPER BOWEL MOVEMENT ( PERISTALSIS ). ALL THIS HAS CUMULATIVE EFFECT ON OUR BODY AND WE INVITE MANY DISEASES. IN SHORT KEEP THE DIGESTIVE FIRE PROPER ( igniting ) ENABLING PROPER DIGESTION OF FOOD
