Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 >I'm wondering if more emphasis should be given to removing the cause of the doshas becoming imbalanced, i.e. why is a two year old having this much aam. The following sounds like rhetorical questions, but I would be interested in opinions on this. Does Ayurveda adhere to the idea that these symptoms are just the body eliminating aam and should not be stopped, but rather encouraged? Isn't this idea of "you have this symptom, so take this herb" perhaps a pollution of pure Ayurveda with the ideas of allopathy? In other words, you are sick, so take this drug to stop the symptoms. Would it not be better to emphasize proper diet, pancha karma and perhaps a little fasting when feverish? We raised two sons (before adopting Ayurveda) and never gave them drugs, rather we fasted a fever. If a diet includes processed foods, white flour, white sugar, fried food, overeating, etc. is that not where the attention should go to solve the problem, rather than looking for the magic bullet to solve a symptom temporarily?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 In my lifetime a fever was a sign of infection, e.g. Pneumonia, flu......etc. Usually when one has a fever, they do not want to eat. Starve a fever, feed a cold? What ever happened to children's Tylenol or Motrin? Put them in a cold bath if it gets that high. Not that it should be allowed to go that high! A fever of 105 can burn the brain, and cause hallucinations, seizures and possibly death. That is at least the approach of western medicine.
