Allergic low grade fever,, summer fevers, toxicity of bhasmas

[Guest guest]

With Chaitra month (Lunar Calendar) already set in, summer is just

round the corner. Amongst other ailments, children fevers is

something which makes moms worried. Rising pitta vitiation also makes

boils, rashes, eruptions, migraines also common. That is why ayurveda

prescribes taking neem in this season, as a blood purifier.

 

Generally, when the fever subsides, it leaves weakness as the

residue. The heat caused by suppressive medicines is one reason.

This heat causes liver underfunction, weight loss, fatigue,

weakness. Patient is confused what to do to gain strength quickly.

And second opinion differs from first; even ayurvedic consultation

gives rise to such a situation. Sudden changes in climate, more

temperatutre, humidity, rains show effects on our health, especially

children are more suceptible. This well known knowledge of ayurveda

is perhaps being re-discovered by World Health Organization:

or is it throwing the blame for failure of modern medicine onto

nature?

 

Everyone wants to regain health as quickly as possible, the

temptation lands a patient into allopathic symptom-suppressive

treatments. Though relief is fast, the side effects are many, and

liver residues cause long term effects, allergies is one such. One

symptoms which is not recognized as allergy by most, is the chronic

low grade fever, where patient feels feverish, but thermometer does

not register the temperature outside normal range. Those who are

allergic to wheat gluten or grains often show this type of reaction.

This often is the result of mal-absorption by intestines, immune

system trying to attack incompletely digested food particles leaked

into blood through gut permeability.

 

The patient feels relief from acute disease but synthetic medicines

create chronic disease which they are unable to tackle. Giving a

number of medicines to children, teenagers under puberty caused

changes, weak adults and senior citizens produces negative effects.

Health and strength is compromised. Weakness keeps increasing, Body

tries to eliminate toxins through loose motions many a day, and that

causes further weakness. Diseases like jaundice , malaria, typhoid

cause relapse and then patient rushes to a vaidya. Constipation is

the result of toxin build up in liver.

 

What is needed is a simple discipline. Stop eating outside food,

going to bed late. Drink water boiled out at least 50%, so that good

electrolyte balance is achieved and body can detoxify itself.

Avoiding oily and fried food is also a good tip. What food suits you

best can be found from

Community lunches and celebrations is another opportunity to get

poisoned in summer. In such lunches, the food is prepared hours in

advance and by the time it is served, its bio energy is already low.

Green salad for instance. If facing weakness as a result of an

antibiotics course or long illness, following suggestions are offered.

 

1. In order to correct the constipation, soft laxative becomes

necessary. Strong laxatives will tire the colon, and it will become

spastic. Take avipattikar churna or haritaki churna, isabgol

according to the constitution. Author gave the receipe for

avipattikar churna, nasotar herb etc in a recent post. According to

individual's constitution, Vaidyas will add further items such as

Guduchi satva, praval pishti, muktashukti bhasma.

 

2. Aarogyavardhini Ras was discussed previously in archives. Taking 2-

3 tablets twice a day will help digestion, regaining liver tone so

that more bile is produced and digestion improves. If facing the

weakness as a result of allopathic medicines, this formulation is

often recommended to remove residues left inside liver by them. It

boosts immune system, reduces stomach pains, is also a pitta pacifier

formulation. It restores Dhatu building process in body, which helps

increasing Haemoglobin, so that weakness is reduced. This formulation

is especially helpful after suffering from Jaundice. Everyone can

take this formulation. In the beginning, it will remove old toxins

(ama) from the intestines. This causes sticky motions having dark

coffee color or brownish color. Taking Punarnava Mandur along with

Aarogyavatrdhini helps build iron in the blood and it is especially

recommended if suffering from arthritis and swellings. Punarnava

Mandur is a Bhasma preparation available both in powder and tablet

form It helps in dealing with anemia, liver diseases, spleen

diseases, swellings, stomach gas/gulma, stomach pains, piles.

Punarnava mandur along with aarogyavardhini relives constipation,

helps build dhatus, causes weight gain, and adds to the glow on the

face. Aarogyavardhini and Punarnava mandur both have bhasmas, and see

that you get these from reliable source, so that manufacturing

oriented toxicity does not become an issue to be solved. While

science mindset can have doubt about toxicity of bhasmas, well

prepared bhasmas can free us from the toxicity of synthetic drugs. It

is only bhasmas where dosages are in few mg, comparable to those of

allopathic drugs.

 

Well prepared and prescribed bhasma will never cause any problems,

and patient can test the bhasma using the rules given in above links,

so that neither time not money gets wasted. Ask only a small quantity

first for allergy testing. Author has taught these methods to all his

sensitive patients, so that they keep a regular check on food intake.

 

While allopathy tries to enjoy superiority when emergency situations

encountered, it is bhasmas which help patient to pass over these

situations without any residual toxicity. Being a descending science,

one cant give literature sitings for such statements, it is only

collective experience of both vaidyas and patients, which builds

trustful data base.
