Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 This is for girgirya !!!!!!!! Before going into Ayurvedic theory, I have to tease you. Girgirya in Marathi means going round and round, and you have asked the same question in 3 different ways !!! One way , would have been fine. But, after reading all 3 questions, I gather that you do have some long standing digestion problems, and that you have a Pitta Prakriti and that you also have a chronic hair loss and that you had a "vaman " kriya in the past. What you have not told is who made this diagnosis ? In India or in Australia ? Who prescribed the "vaman " therapy and is this a self diagnosis and self regulated therapy? "Vaman" is not a usual therapy , in the West, yet, and whether you followed somebody in India ? Did you meet this person in person, Or was this a telephonic / e-mail diagnosis ? This is not to say that telephonic diagnosis or by e-mail is wrong or anything, but it is equally important to know who has made the diagnosis, before giving prescriptions on this site. In terms of theory, the hair and skin disease is ofcourse related more to Pitta, but there is a distinct effect of Vata as well as Kapha. In terms of overall and comprehensive Ayurvedic theory, you perhaps do have a chronic digestive problem, but without knowing more about you, I would not make a judgement of whether it is Pitta / Vata / Kapha in origin. You should see an Ayurvedic Doc, before venturing into self directed "vaman" therapy or any other medications / herbs / diet or anything else. Considering your age, the least you could try is hair oils with Brahmi, Amlaki, etc A regular diet which has all 6 tastes, preferably freshly cooked , and eaten at regular hours, and avoidance of late hours ( staying awake too late ) , and eating food and drinks in moderation with regular exercise, is recommended. To prescribe any thing else, one must see an Ayurvedic practitioner, and follow his / her instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Dear Durgesh Girgirya indeed does mean going round and round, its my nick since i keep orbiting between India and Australia quiet regularly. Thank you for replying to me, The vaman therapy was indeed prescibed by a practising Auyrvedic doctor in pune after lengthy consultation in person in pune. Although I cannot recall his name at this moment, he is a well established doctor with his home clinic in Bibwe wadi, pune. The vaman was performed in close scrutny of other doctors and the results were indeed favourable. I did feel change in my health and felt revitalised. My hair grew as well initially. After around 4 months of Australian food and weather the problem began again and this time it has become more serious than before. I exercise regularly and am not overweight. I do have bad sleeping habits(Sleeping late and getting up late) and that is because of late night studying. I will indeed try to improve my sleeping habits. In relation to digestive problems, I was suffr acidity and constipation at times. However recently this has reduced since I am trying to regulate my diet. I really would appreciate some more specific advice, please feel free to ask me specific questions. Thank you sincerely for your time and advice.
