Multiple problems - Please help

[Guest guest]

Dear Vaidya,

 

I'm a 32 year old male with a desk job invloving staring at the

monitors for 10 hours or more per day.I'm living in the US without

local access to a Vaidya.I'm having multiple problems. My diet is

south Indian vegetarian consisting rice, pulses,chapathi,sambhar,

curry .

 

1) Thinning hair and hair loss.

2) A bunch of little red itchy boils on my right cheek. It gets

worse after shaving.

3) Pain in the lower right stomach. A endoscopy by a

gastroentrologist 4 years ago test had revealed there was a slight

erosion in the stomach.I was alright all the while but somehow this

pain has come back.

4) Cracked feet near the heels that become very warm and dry in the

night

5) Mild burning in the eyes during the evening.Hands and feet are

always warm.

6) Less tolerance to heat and sun.

7) Sensitivity to bright lights and mild headaches. I also see white

spots in front of my eyes many times during the day.

8) Nowadays I get irritatated easily and susceptible to anger.

 

 

Please suggest any remedies and also if there are any Yogasanas I

can do to treat the symptoms.

 

 

Thanking you.

 

Sincerely,

Pradeep

Before the remedies come flooding in to help you - you really have to help

yourself - hard blinking several times a minute - will encourage the oils in

the lids to lubricate the eyes - these oils help the natural moisture to

stay on the eyes more effectively - presumably being in an office with

probable air conditioning requires you to drink far more water than you

normally would - a good quality water of course - the cracked heels tell us

that your gut is in a similar condition - perhaps some flaxseed oil in the

diet would help this - even try for a month eliminating wheat altogether and

adding more leafy green vegetables - salads even - to your meals. Pranayama

and a good all round selection of Hatha will help all the systems tolerate

your unnatural occupation - stretching and yawning at your desk will help

too - this is just to keep you going - I can send you some Chinese eye

exercises too if you would like ......

 

All the Best

Sounds like a Pitta imbance, exacerbated by stress.

Dear Pradeep

 

Your occupation together with the country of work can easily land

Indians in a difficult to dioagnose diseases. After facing bright

lights of a video camera in a birthday party, a 24 year old youth saw

white spots before eyes and blanked out for a few minutes. he

recovered with cold water spray on head while being rushed to a

nearby hospital. He was discharged after a clear MRI, a few bottles

of saline water pumped in and two days of hospital stay for

observation. The first suspicion in RMO's mind was Brain Tumor.

Author recollects that in most of such cases, the patient was a

smoker or a nicotine addict too. To avoid such a traumatic

experience, first you may go through recommendations for software

wizzards:

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/7229

http://health.ayurveda/message/6889

 

When you spend so many hours before monitor, the most used organ is

eyes. What does not get attention, however is the mild radiation

exposure too. Sending man in space required so much research of

radiations and intense magnetic fields effect on human brain, and

most of this research is available in public domain. According to

ayurvedic vaidyas, the effect of (UV radiation from) sunlight gives

rise to pitta vitiation and circulation of pitta in central nervous

system causes your most of the symptoms. However, mild ulceration and

inadequate liver function also seems likely. That is why other

members have already suggested Pitta pacification approach through

Mahamanjista and aarogyavardhini vati. These may help you, but be

careful while using aarogyavardhini. burning sensation in urine,

excess yellow color in urine should be watched.

 

There are several recommendations/suggestion in Pitta pacification

food and lifestyle changes. The best approach may be taking a liver

detox, but with no access to a vaidya, it is ruled out. The heem (2

hours soaked water) of Cumeen seed, coriander seed and fennel seed

water, Copper water early morning, soaked date/raisin crush in

breakfast, walking on wet lawn (due to dew)early morning, going to

bed early in a dark room, getting up early, taking milk sweetened

with cardamom at bedtime, gulkand/drakshavaleha etc are already

mentioned in earlier posts. Doing a parnayama, spending time near

water fountains, green garden, taking green juices of vegetables such

as bottle gourd, pumpkin, snake gourd, sweet fruit juices etc can be

tried. Since your problems are old, chroic, you may get benifits

through these slow approaches too.

 

Ashokarishtam is considered as ladies medicine by most. But it is a

good medicine for reducing heat of the body when feet and hands give

burning sensation in night.

 

Do not exchange health with money. A dissatisfied softyware wizzard

joined IIM to get M.B.A. Burning mid-night oil daily landed him up in

serious eye health issues and then he realized the truth. Similar

stories keep repeating everywhere. Simple Food and lifestyle give you

health, while lure of money takes it away. If you have to continue

the present practice, take few bottles of inexpensive Chandrakala

Netranjan with you when you come to India. This is already discussed

in archives.

Thank you very much Dr.Bhate for your detailed post.

 

I've begun eating soaked raisins, Gulkand and drinking

dhania/jeera/saunf and copper water.

 

Since I regularly practice Yoga for half hour everyday without a

teacher, I want to know which sequence of Asanas can help my particular

situation.Also are there any asanas I should avoid. I'm a novice in

Ayurveda and I read from certain websites that Sarvangasana and

Shirshasana should not be performed by people with Pitta disorders. Is

this true ?

 

Among fruits I like bananas and Mangos very much. Are these fruits okay

doctor?

 

My in-laws are coming to visit us from India. So I can ask them to get

Chandrakala Netranjan.

 

Thanks again

 

Regards

 

-Pradeep

Pradeep,

If at all possible, work for eight hours. Allow your eyes to rest. I am sure

you eat yogurt,

but do you also drink milk. Sometimes food allergies can cause skin

irritations. Milk

allergies and wheat allergies are very common causes of skin eruptions. Try

taking milk

and wheat out of your diet for a month. Yogurt should be fine because of the

friendly

baceria present within it that digest lactose. Sometimes when people switch to

raw milk

which has the enzymes in tact that break down lactose and other things in the

milk they

can tollerate it beautifully.

Elimination of stress of the eyes by working less, a morning yogasana and

meditation

regement for fifteen or twenty minutes each as a minimum, and elimination of

wheat and

milk for one month. If you notice a difference, then it is a food allergy to

one of them.

Add dairy back in and see if the symptoms stay away. If the symptoms stay away

for

several weeks, then you have found your wheat allergy as one cause of your skin

and

perhaps even stomach irritation.

Rianmagus

While author requests other experts of this group (e.g. Guru, Vinod) to

answer your yoga questions, he wishes to say that this angle has

been considered by this author in the earlier post...Pranayama!

 

Prana is global medicine, available free, except that you should take

it at countryside or in a garden. Baba Ramdev's meteoric rise to

Yogrishi title can be attributed to the Prana techniques, which no

Government or FDA can handle in their policing policies.

 

It may be interesting to understand how this prana techniques work

from science angle, the subject matter of research by some

researchers at AIMS, the apex institute of Health science. If all

understand this, the big noise about fruits, vegetables, alkalizing

diet etc can be understood well. The following also tries to explain

pitta as seen by an ayurvedist. Other members may of course

correct/add/comment.

 

The red blood cells (erythrocytes) perform the function of carrying

oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide out of the body. Both their

size and shape are optimized for carrying and easily exchanging

gases. They are designed to have a high affinity for oxygen and a

moderate affinity for carbon dioxide. This affinity is further

augmented (and regulated) by body and blood pH. pH is geared for the

release of carbon dioxide and the uptake of oxygen in the lungs, but

a slight adjustment in pH regears the blood cells for release of

oxygen and the uptake of carbon dioxide at the tissue level.

Red blood cells can also easily fold to facilitate their movement

through tight spaces in tiny capillaries. They make up about 45% of

blood's total volume and number about 4.8 - 5.4 million cells per ml.

This volume is expressed by doctors as the " hematocrit level. " A

level of 45% is obviously cool; less than that means person is anemic

according to modern science.

 

When pitta is vitiated, the blood pH decreases or blood becomes

acidic. When pH is increased, blood can absorb more oxygen. Every

cell in our body requires oxygen for life and to maintain health. To

put it simply, the more acidic the blood, the less oxygen is

available for use by the cells. It's worth noting that cancer is

related to an acid environment (lack of oxygen). The higher the pH

(the more oxygen present in the cells of the body), the harder it is

for cancer to thrive. Our bodies function in a very narrow range of

acid/alkaline balance (pH). Our blood in particular is very sensitive

to these changes. If Blood pH varies by even as little as a few

tenths of a point, severe illness and death may result.

 

Unfortunately, most of the food we eat is highly acidic (meat, dairy,

sodas, alcohol, cooked grains). When they are metabolized,

carbohydrates, proteins, and fats produce various acids in our

bodies. Proteins produce sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.

Carbohydrates and fats produce acetic acid and lactic acid. Since

these acids are poisonous to the body, they must be eliminated.

Unfortunately, they can't be eliminated as acids through the kidneys

or large intestine as they would damage these organs. Body uses skin

route, sweat route, especially sweat glands in armpits and groin,

giving rise to bad odour, fungus infections, and blisters, burning

sensations, stinging sensations, erythema, reddish rashes. All such

are termed " pitta " problems by ayurvedists.

 

 

In the end, it becomes too much for our bodies to handle. If we don't

correct the problem by " alkalinizing " the body, disease, sickness,

and death are the inevitable result. In addition to being highly

sensitive to pH changes itself, our blood plays a key role in helping

to monitor and effect pH changes throughout the body. While mild

unbalance gives rise to migraines, excess pitta increase causes

acidic blood elimination through nose bleed, piles, menstrual flow,

erruptions, etc. This is free " leech therapy " , and should not be

interrupted by intervention, unless anemia is likely. Unfortunately,

modern science tries to suppress healing actions of the body. The

pain of migraine or sore boil or inflamation under rashes is

eliminated by adding acidic chemical to blood in the form of a pain

killer!

 

Changing the diet to alkalize the body will help much better. The

Guava fruit as migraine remedy now gets explained as an alkalizer

diet. Blood cells actually prefer carbon monoxide to oxygen. Once

they get carbon monoxide, they become reluctant to let go of it—

either to exchange for oxygen in the lungs or carbon dioxide at the

cellular level. That's why doctors usually treat carbon monoxide

poisoning by forcing pure oxygen into the lungs to force the blood

cells to swap out the carbon monoxide. This also is the principle

working in oxygen or ozone therapy being practiced for fighting

cancer. Even modern hospitals have now picked up this from

alternative healers, and a cancer hospital in Mumbai has started

ozone therapy on experimental basis. It is poisoning on a small scale

which is increasing cases of diabetes, depression in traffic

policemen.

 

Incidently, it is stated somewhere that when the " enlightenement "

results, the state of Buddha, the cells contain only oxygen, no

sugar, no insulin is needed.

 

The maximum need of oxygen is for brain cells, which cant survive if

oxygen is cut off even for a countable seconds. when acid in the

blood reduces oxygen, first to " blank out " is brain! The

forgetfulness, irritability, mental fatigue, many other tamasic

attributes can be attributed to pittic blood reaching brain cells.

Alkalizing diet and prana exercizes is the ultimate peak in health.

Banana, milk suits Pitta vikruti well in a limited quantity, at

bedtime. Good sleep is pitta pacifier, as liver detoxification occurs

in our sleep..

I teach Kundalini Yoga. There are specific Kriyas or sets of

exercises for certain organs, problems effects, etc. You really need

a teacher for that. Hatha Yoga exercises are good for anyone. I

started doing Hatha Yoga by just doing exercises from a book for

months. I even took a class once and liked the exercises I was doing

better than the class.

 

There are some general rules however. Start from the lower part of

the body and work up. In other words, start with the lower chakras

and work up. One would tend to do an exercise like Cobra and later do

Neck Rolls.

 

Work from the distal points to the internal parts of the body. Do

exercises for the fingers before doing exercises for interal organs

and finish with meditation, which works on the most internal of areas.

 

As for doing inverted exercises, the main rules are that menstruating

women, pregnant women in their 2nd and 3rd trimester should not do

them. For menstruating women, the apana is dominant and so the body

should be in an apana position with gravity assisting. In general,

people with pitta can do inverted exercises. I say that one should

watch their own body on this. If a person has a weight problem, then

the extra weight could put too much pressure on the heart and other

organs. Also, if a person has high blood pressure, this could put

too much pressure on the heart so try it and see for yourself.

 

The beautiful thing about yoga is that it is experiental. One can

have intellectual discussions about yoga but one will not get any

benefit unless one does the exercises and meditation. One can adjust

according to the experience.

hello

the yoga session starts with warming-up exercises. they r important because they

protect u from forcing your joints but also because they allow energy flow

better so the effect of asanas is stronger after them

first of all u should do a group of asanas for making the spine have a good

position (computer work is usually affecting this, and u know, the spine is the

pillar of life).if the position of the spine is good, the energy flows better

through central channel. this asanas should combine bending, extentions,

rotations :

1. bending: padahastasana, paschimottanasana, janushirshasana, halasana

2. extensions: bhujangasana, shalabasana

3. rotations: ardha matsyendrasana,

 

then u should work for eyes : suptavajrasana, uddhiyana bandha, nauli kriya and

the upside -down postures nourishing head area : sarvangasana, shirshanana,

vrishikasana.

 

this last ones will also help hair regeneration. after talasana rub your palms

against eachother for 2 minutes than use them to cover your eyes for few minutes

without making any pressure on them.

 

for more prana in body : talasana with ashwini mudra and complete yogic breath.

 

also working on computer is increasing agitation of mind so i recomand

samavritti pranayama and dharana using a candle light or an exercise with small

white ball (ping pong ball), first focus attention on it few minutes and then

close eyes and try to see it in the space between eyebrows

 

pls do asanas at least 5 minutes each if not 10 minutes or more so u can have

time to feel the effects and make them stable in your aura. after each asana

spend 2-3 minutes relaxed being aware of the effects (how u feel, how energy

flows, which chakra is dynamised, which is harmonised, the state of mind

generated by that asana etc)
