Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

My girl friend is about 50 lbs over weight. She has the extra weight all over

her body including her face. She has started dieting and exercising. Is there

anything else that she can take that might help her in this process. She does

have a sciatica and hence she can't do too much exercises and doing minimal

stuff. We were actually thinking for getting the Himalaya products from India,

we live in California. Any inputs or help is appreciated, thanks.

Dear friend,

For over weight, try Kapaalbhati and Anulom-vilome

pranayam on empty stomach for half an hour each in the

morning and evening (after about five hours of taking

luch to make the stomach light). Add fruits and

vegetables to the diet reducing cooked food to that

extent. If possible view the Pranayams through a

well-broughtout VCD of Baba Ramdev. Some resourceful

friend of Indian origin might know about it or ask the

dsetails through email at divyayoga or

visit www.divyayoga.com

 

If you are able to view the daily telecasting of Baba

Ramdev Yog Science camps on Aastha International

channel, you will know how easily the weight is

brought down in so many cases with no side effects.

 

You can do this safely alongwith Ayurvedic medicines

that might decided to take after getting online advice

from various Vaidyas on line.

 

So also for sciatica, in addition to Ayurvedic

treatment, if simple three minute yogic exercises for

the spine are done in a relaxed manner as explained at

our backache website: www.atbsnr.com you may hope to

get cured on a longterm basis with an added advantage

of enjoying good health in future as the same

exercises help promote good health too.

 

Wishing you speedy recovery,

 

S. M. Acharya

PS You means it is meant for your friend for whom you

are seeking the online advice.

Dear Friend,

Obesity is a condition of disturbed metabolism in

which individual is significantly overweight.

Excessive body fat (Hyperlipoproteinemia) is

accumulated on the belly, buttocks, breasts and

thighs. This may lead to diabetes, hypertension,

arthritis and sciatica. It is caused mainly due to

intake of more calories than are required for energy

metabolism. You can say obesity is due to absence of

physical activity. Other causes may be sleeping during

the day, intake of Kapha - increasing foods (heavy,

sweet, cooling and unctuous food in excess). Over

intake of food. Heredity and Pathology are rare

causes.

 

What Ayurveda says :

=====================

Our body is made of seven Dhatus {Rasa (Lymph), Rakta

(Blood), Mamsa (Muscle), Meda ( Fat), Asthi (Bones),

Majja (Nervous System) Shukra (Reproductive System)}.

But in Obese person the Meda is excessively nourished

and remaining other Dhatus get malnourished. Kapha

gets accumulated in between. Role of Ayurvedic

medicines with dietary correction is to remove

obstructed Kapha and let all Dhatus nourish equally.

When Kapha increases in abnormal fashion, fat

metabolism gets hampered and person becomes Obese.

 

How to manage extra weight:

===========================

#1 Strong Slimming Udvartana:

Udvartana is ayurvedic powder massage that mobilize

your extra fat under the skin. It contains Chandan

(Santalum album), Kapoor Kachari, Ginger, Nagarmotha

(Cyperus rotendus), Ambahaldi (Curcumma amada), Khus

(Andropogon muricatus), Funnel seeds, Gulab (Rose),

Neem (Azadirachta indica) and fuller’s earth. It

contains a special aroma substance obtained from

vegetable origin, which makes the paste soft and

smooth. This soft aroma makes the use of Udvartana a

pleasant experience.

 

#2 Fat metabolism regulating ayurvedic ingredients

such as Guggul, Garcinia and Triphala. A standardized

preparation available in the US is OMNICOR.

(www.omninature.com)It is a natural blend of ayurvedic

fibres and Guggulipids that reduces extra weight

quickly and regulate thyroid function. Guggul is the

active ingredient that significantly lowers the

triglyceride levels in the blood as well as the LDL

(Low Density Lipoprotein-bad cholesterol) and VLDL

(Very Low Density Lipoprotein) levels while

simultaneously increasing the HDL (High Density

Lipoprotein – good cholesterol) levels. It reduces the

stickiness of platelets and lowers the risk of heart

diseases.

Dose: 1 Capsule twice daily with water

Author has a five week intensive panch karma program wherein only six

bastis in five weeks is all panchkarma needed. The patient is never

starved and keeps eating a menu chosen according to his constitution.

In fist week itself, some patients lost 4 kg weight. The secret of the

success is " liver is made fat burner rather than fat generator " . Five

weeks contain three liver detoxes, separated by two weeks of simply

diet regulation. Energy levels increase, body is felt light and patient

enjoys the food.

 

Those for whom this kind of intensive program is not possible, explore

spring detox posted last year in March. It can be done at home.

 

And for those who cant follow such a detox, author has uploaded a file

temed Super Foods for Health today, the link to which is available in

previous post. You can also access this file by visiting home page

Dr. Bhate, thanks for both the detox procedure and the article on

superfoods. Both are valuable.

 

The detox procedure is simple enough to follow but I did not understand

this step:

 

Basti procedure of Panch Karma

 

Could you explain this as simply as you can?

 

Thanks for all the knowledge you are offering in this forum, especially

to laypersons like me.

 

With kind regards,

Gururaj Rao

Hi Skywalker

 

Here are a couple thoughts from western science view that may help

know source also, in addition to the learned and experienced vaidyas'

input from several sources all so valuable. Has this been a long term

thing or have you observed this accumulate over recent time? Those

who use antidepressants over time accumulate weight, also those with

high stress levels often, due to excess cortisol in the system. Avg

weight gain with antidepressant use is 40-80 pounds.

 

Also related to both stress levels and acid forming food by products,

some body types I guess it is, will use fats as a major neutralizing

method, storing the acids in the fat tissue. Many weight loss diets

from the west burn the fat fast but don't help detox or alkalyze and

the weight goes back on quickly to restore more important homeostatic

balance.(other bodies feature pulling mineral from bones more, or use

hormones to chemically neutralize acidity, other ways also).

 

Though I believe the acid-alkaline story is way overdone (missing

dosha and other issues), Dr. Ramakant Mishra has a tremendous article

on the subject on his website. If diet needs attention, which most

likely always is case with abnormal weight issues, the use of more

generous fruits and vegetables is not just about fiber and

antioxidants, but about alkalyzing and helping the body to detox safely.

 

Himalayan products include some guggul, triphala and other good

ingredients as indicated.

 

Blessings;

Ysha

Basti introduces liquids like medicated oils, herbal concoctions per

perineum (through the anus, urinary meatus or vaginal orifice (in

women) in order to clean or supplement the lower part of the body

(below umbilical part). Basti clean the toxins released in the lower

part of the body ( digestive tract, urinary tract or reproductive

tract) by liver detox.

 

Considered separately from liver detox, Basti is effective for

several Vatic conditions :

1. musculo-skeletal disorders

2. rheumatic joint pains

3. chronic headaches related to nervous and digestive

disorders.

4. useful in most of the digestive disorders like dry colon and dry

rectum condition

5. It provides relief in conditions like distention of abdomen,

flatulence, spastic colon, dryness of digestive tract observed in

chronic fever.

6. It can be used with nutrients in general body debility, senile

debility, impaired immunity, muscular dystrophy and bed ridden

conditions like paralysis. Mucous membrane of rectal canal being a

semi permeable membrane, absorbs nutrients.

 

7. Basti is also used for cleaning and nourishing the urinary tract

and the reproductive tract in men and women. It is termed Uttar Basti

in that case.

 

Basti is like a Brahmastra in the hands of an expert Vaidya. He can

clear the blocked fallopian tubes if infertility is caused by this

reason.

 

Author has given bastis of special oils for a colon cancer patient

as a palliative care and also to relive hard constipation and

resulting pain. Cancer pain is something, even opioid pain killers

find it difficult to relive, but in this case, basti gave a great

relief.

 

But Brahmastra is to be used with due caution and great respect for

it. Thus if a 7o year old patient is suffering from hard

constipation, basti can be given for immediate relief, but long term

cure is possible only through ayurvedic materia medica.
