LIFE LESSONS (EPISODE 7- SAMHITA II)

 

Hello friends and welcome to my blog.

It is said that the greatest asset in our life is health. If we have good health, we can achieve anything. But the pandemic 2020 has changed the scenario. In the Times of this pandemic, survival turned into a challenge.

Well why are we talking about health and pandemic? Here is the answer: in this blog we are going to discuss the importance of Ayurveda , and the best remedy for Covid.

I'm saying best remedy - to the best of my knowledge because it worked for me. 

From the previous blog, we came to know that there are Vedas or SAMHITAS which are our greatest gift from our ancient gurus after their intense research. All the Vedas are important in their own way. One of these is Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is that Veda that deals with medicine. Well is it the medicine in form of tablets, capsules and tonics? A lot more than that. This is the god of medicine in my opinion. It has specific approach towards the health problems. It never medicates based on the disease, rather medicates based on the body conditions and symptoms. Interestingly it also suggested surgeries in some cases.

This unique feature of Ayurveda makes it the only medicinal guide of its kind. Well there is an intresting question. Is there a cure of Covid 19 in this Ayurveda? Definately yes.

Now the question may arise,  then why are we not able to win over Covid? The answer is very simple and we will check it out in this blog.

 Ayurveda always suggests prevention of a disease rather than curing. There is a common proverb -"prevention is better than cure!". 

So before we go for cure, let us see what is the prevention or remedy. 

The process of corona ingression into the body can be depicted in 3 stages: 

Stage 1. Virus in nose for 1-2 days 

Stage 2. Virus in throat for 2-3 days

Stage 3. Virus in lungs.

As the stage increases, the criticalness of the disease also increases. Basically,  it is not that critical until the virus reaches the lungs. Therefore it is advisable to prevent in the initial two stages itself.

Covid is a sort of primarily respiratory illness. This implies it will have mucus formation in nose and throat. Ayurveda has a remedy for preventing mucus deposit. Let us shed light on the measures.

First one is the simple one. And I'm sure many of us are aware of the same. It is nothing but steaming. Steaming is a very good cure and remedy for cold and related symptoms. Due to passage of hot steamy air into the nose and the nasal cavity releases the mucus deposit and lead to instant relief. So if there is a sensation of even a ordinary cold, steaming will be useful.

Steaming for once a day is good in this pandemic. If you feel you are affected with Covid, try to steam 2-4 times a day with water. In general, once in 2-3 days is good.

Steaming with turmeric is advisable, but not suitable for daily steaming. 

The second measure may sound very strange but is very productive. This requires a lemon 🍋, a pinch of salt and hot water. First put 2-3 drops of lemon into a nostril and inhale. Do the same with the other nostril. This immediately pushes in the mucus if any. You can just spit out the mucus at once. After 1-2 mins put few drops of lemon and a pinch of salt in Luke warm water and gargle for 3-4 times. This will help you clean throat. Repeat this everyday soon after you get up from bed. 

These two measures are suggested by a prominent Ayurvedic practitioner. I'm personally following these measures from past 5 months. I hope this will help you too. One interesting fact of Ayurveda is it has no side effects, so are the measures given above.

When we talk about cure of this virus, I'm 100% sure that it has capability to cure. Here is the best example. After the rapid spread of Covid in China, apart from steaming they provided Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to many of the patients and found cure to large extent.

What is TCM? Centuries ago when an Indian king Bodhi Dharma went to China to help them face a similar pandemic. He, after curing the disease successfully, gave knowledge about ayurvedic practices to them. TCM is one of such suggestions. It is a combination of almost 25 ingredients ( the number May be approximate), which can act as cure for many health problems due to its universal curing ingredients.

Definately, there is a cure for Covid with ayurvedic guidence. But the problem is that we are not ready and capable to interpret the scriptures presently available. It is my request to you all to share this article so that it may reach any appropriate person who can find out the solution. 

Hope you all liked my blog.
