Ayurveda & AIDS.

[Guest guest]

Dear Marilyn,

 

Thanks a lot.Another medicine was suggested during a TV discussion. This was

Guduchi (Tinosporia Cordifolia). The advice was that it is to be powdered, mixed

with honey and stored for some time in a sack of grain within an earthen pot.

This programme interviewed an AIDS patient being treated at an ayurvedic clinic.

The patient had directly come to the clinic after being diagnosed and was

feeling better after 25 days of treatment. The doctors said he would have to be

treated for some more months. Surely all this is a lot of hope for those who

would prefer to be gently and genuinely cured. As Dr Bhate said, we must make it

widely known that ayurveda is equipped with an wide array of remedies to treat

any disorder.

 

AIDS is a multifaceted disorder and will vary from person to person. The major

symptoms may be;

 

"(1) drastic loss of weight (2) fatigue and lethargy (3) susceptibility to

allergies and contagious diseases (4) skin irritations (5) bronchial disorders,

often leading to tuberculosis of the lungs (6) damage to intestinal flora

resulting in diarrhoea, dysentery, gastritis and (7) wide fluctuations in body

temperature." There is also a loss of desire to live as pointed out by noted

vaidya Kaviraj Acharya Sri Narayan Shastri.

 

"Ayurvedic practitioner Dr G. Shanthakumar, based in Mumbai, India, claims that

ayurveda identified AIDS over 2,000 years ago. The ancient malady was termed

RAJAYAKSHMA (the king of diseases) and its symptoms were identical to AIDS going

by the descriptions of Vagbhata in Ashtanga Hridayam (Chikitsitam section) and

its supplementary text, the Ashtanga Sangraham, as well as in another ayurvedic

classic, Charaka Samhita (Nidanam section)."

 

All this is from a very good link to an article on "Ayurveda and AIDS".

To bolster your post:

Andrographis Paniculata (Kalmegh).

-----------------

A. paniculata is used as a wonder drug in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic

systems of medicine as well as in tribal medicine in India and some other

countries for multiple clinical applications. The therapeutic value of Kalmegh

is due to its mechanism of action which is perhaps by enzyme induction. The

plant extract exhibits antityphoid and antifungal activities. Kalmegh is also

reported to possess antihepatotoxic, antibiotic, antimalarial, antihepatitic,

antithrombogenic, antiinflammatory, antisnakevenom, and antipyretic properties

to mention a few, besides its general use as an immunostimulant agent (see

Pharmacology). A recent study conducted at Bastyr University, USA confirms

anti-HIV activity of andrographolide.

Tinosporia Cordifolia (Guduchi).

----------

This herb is used in seminal weakness and urinary affections. It is also a

valuable tonic. Other applications of this herb include: fever, gout, jaundice,

torpidity of the liver, skin diseases, secondary syphilis, rheumatism,

constipation, tuberculosis, and leprosy. It is a blood purifier and may be

useful in AIDS and other immune diseases also. It is also being proposed for

cancer patients before and after chemotherapy.

Asparagus Racemosa (Shatavari)

---------------

For men it is a nutritive tonic similar to ginseng, and an aphrodisiac which

increases erection strength and sperm count and decreases spermatorrhea. Because

Shatawari is a gentle herb which regulates growth, is a systemic tonic, and is

calming, it is considered, along with Ashwagandha and Brahmi, to be excellent

for children. It is also recommended for seniors because it soothes the systemic

dryness which is part of the natural aging process. For post-menopausal women it

is especially good when taken with a cup of saffron milk. It has a strong

rejuvenating, nurturing, and stabilizing effect on excessive air, gas, dryness

and agitation in the body and mind. As such it is traditionally used for

nervousness, anorexia, insomnia, hyperactive children, and people who are

underweight. Due to its cooling nature it is used for genital herpes, chronic

low grade fever, chronic skin disease, hemorrhoids, hyperactivity, stomach

ulcers, chronic hepatitis, gonorrhea, and to cool and purify the

blood. This wonderful plant is so useful that is considered in Ayurveda to be

the Compassionate queen of herbs.

 

Chavanaprash

--------------------

This is also suggested by many ayurveds on the net. This combination of various

herbs and minerals has long been known as an immune booster.It is widely used

for recurrent coughs and colds, chest disorders and also for lowered vitality.

 

A combination medicine advertised in the net for AIDS contains the following

ingredients;

 

Sanjivani Butti,Amruta,Musli (Safed),Gokharu,Satavari,Kadiyatu,Mari,

Tulsi,Kaucha,Jethimadh,Mandur Bhasma,Haridra,Harde,Jivanti,Kadu,Sunth,

Kankach,Lindipiper,Meshparni,Ashwagandha,Silajit,SuddhaGuggal,

Indrajav,Vidari Kand,Neem Chhal.

 

A very important research is now being carried out whether condoms can prevent

veneral disorders including AIDS. Interestingly even the use of condoms may not

be sufficient, the incomplete study suggests, as "something minute" was crossing

over. Actually, as per both ayurveda and homeopathy, the urge to lead an

undisciplined life is itself a "terrain" for severe disorders to follow. There

is alread "yakshma" present in the patient which proceeds to "raja-yakshma"

after suffering the horrible effects of suppressed veneral disorders using

steroids and antibiotics. The future generations inherit the tendency.

Greetings,

 

Absolutely, Tinospora cordifolia is amoung the best herbs in combating the

AIDS virus..

try searching www.pubmed.com with this herb, and you are likely to find studies

that have

been done by various Universities. Gudduci, or Amrita (Amrit) is the Sanskrit

for

"Ambrosia", nectar of the Gods. It is one of the best immunomodulators known in

the

Ayurvedic pharmacopia. The fresh juice, if you can obtain it, is the best.

Powered herb is

also great. It will also combat stress, fatigue, clean the liver and blood, and

stimulate

higher cerebral function of the brain. Guducci is one of my "best friends", and

I have

personally seen it work wonders with my patients. Best of luck

 

Blessings,
