Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Dear Ayur Doctor/Vaidya, I've several issues one of which is pretty major and others are perhaps minor. About myself I'm a 34 year old Indian living in the US for the past 8 years. I've no stress from the job and I have a good work life personal life balance and get a good amount of sleep ( 6- 8 hours ). I've lived in the state of Texas in these past 8 years. The weather is pretty much like in South India - Very hot and humid. My family life and personal life has not been great but it has gotten better from the past 3 months or so. Despite regularly practicing Yogasanas and being very health conscious I'm having these problems. I don't smoke or consume alcohol. I weigh about 152 lbs and 5' 10 " " inches tall. I rarely like once a week have caffeine in the form of masala chai. I eat fresh home made South Indian food on time,drink Organic cow's milk, drink about a liter of water a day, include fruits and nuts in the diet. With my limited knowledge in Ayurveda I try not to consume incompatible food combination and stay away from fried food and very spicy food. The following are not based on self-diagnosis but from an allopathic doctor's diagnosis. As there is no good Vaidya in my area I need help from any of the respected Ayur doctors/Vaidyas on this forum. 1) Intermittent explosive disorder : Easily provoked and prone to anger. Irritable and quarrelsome. I was referred to a psychiatrist by my doctor and was prescribed medication for the Intermittent explosive disorder. Anger attacks lasts from 10 -20 minutes.The psychiatrist after gatheingr all the information from me and my wife on my behavior concluded that I've this problem for a long time and said that it could be due to a genetic disorder. 2) Hyperthyroidism : A high level of thyroid ( ? ) was found in my blood in a detailed blood analysis. However an ultrasound of thyroid seemed to be normal. Further non invasive tests are advised. The Endocrinologist concluded that it could either be condition called Grave's disease or be some sort of Thyroid infection. 3) Constipation : I get constipated if I don't include good amount of fiber like fruits/veggies in my diet say just Kichdi. With Triphala and warm milk with ghee I'm able to have a bowel movement everyday. 4) Lower back/Sacral pain extended all the way to the tail bone: Orthopedic doctor saw the XRAY suggested sitting on a pillow with a hole in the middle ( known as donut pillow ). Yogasanas like Virasana just give temporal relief. 5) Sinus issue : Inflammation. Running nose in the mornings. Headache and pain just below eyebrows. Again Yogasanas like Sarvangasana, Shirshasana only give temporal relief. 6) Low energy levels. 7) Difficulty concentrating and poor listener, confusion 8) Receding hairline, fine hair, hair loss, dandruff 9) Dry skin 10) Excessive ear wax, itchiness inside ears 11) A layer of creamy white patch comes out everytime I scrape my tongue in the morning. The dentist was not sure of what it is and thought it was something due to consumption of spicy food. 11) Nightmares, frequent scary dreams : Crying out loud during sleep My personality : Perfectionist attitude, competitive,impatient, either very lazy or excessively active, few friends, moody, control freak and very demanding, Very religiously inclined and constantly reading to acquire all sorts of information from the very mundane to spirituality. My blood sugar level, cholestrol level , blood pressure have found to be normal by the doctor. I'm averse to taking allopathic medicines as they don't completely cure the disease and introduce side effects. My birth details incase a study needs to be done from an astrological perspective. Date of birth :Aug 2nd 1974 Time of birth : 5:00 PM Place of birth Bangalore, India Thanks and regards, Janardan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I am a student of Ayurveda and yoga, these are a few basic things that stood out to me when reading the e-mail (some of the real vaiyas will have the good stuff) but here goes- it sounds like there is high Pitta -the use of spicy foods in the climate of Texas could be a starting place - to use a cooling Pitta diet - especially in these summer months may find helpful. As for the creamy white patches, that would indicate excess Ama or toxins in the body and since disease begins with the accumulation of toxins, one may suggest to begin with the cleansing of the body. How about a meditation/mantra practice? Asking oneself through intuitive reflection what is the truth - what is this really about- get to the roots? Some cooling pranayams - especially when the emotions are peaking, may calm the sea. See oneself as health, as peace, as calm. as one. May you feel health and peace, Michelle / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Janardan, I am no Vaidya, but based on my experience and your description of problems, one possibility that clearly stands out is " candidiasis " (also called " yeast infection " ). Several things point to it: #1) you take " pasteurized " milk (organic or non-organic, pasteurized is " dead " milk). #2) Sinus/runny nose, #3) Anger/Irritability, #4) Low energy levels, #5) Difficulty concentrating and poor listener, confusion, and #6) White patch on the tongue in the mornings. Try the saliva test (http://www.qfac.com/detox/candida_salvia_test.html) to see if you really have candida or not. If you do, there are zillions of websites out there that tell you how to deal with it -- just google " candidiasis " or " saliva test for candida " or just " candida " . They have guidelines for diet, herbs, etc. If you are confused, I can share with you what I have been doing so far for it. I have been successful to a great extent with my approach. Once you have taken care of candidiasis (if you have it), another thing you may want to pursue is a heavy metal detox, but only if treating candida does not take care of most of your problems. I was a very poor listener as well -- in fact, I could not even focus on what I was saying at times -- which has improved a lot since I started on heavy metal detox (it's still underway). Good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Dear Janardanji I tried to analyse your horoscope in respect of your complaint. It is my opinio that your Navamansha kundali is more active. Navamansha kundali is of Lebra Lagna [Ascendant]. The Urenus is situated in Libra and in the constellation of Nakshatra whose lord is Mars. This explains sudden eruption of anger. The Saturn and Moon are in Pisces in 6th housh in Navamansha kundali. This explains Sinusitis. My advise: Praval pishti 60mg+ Mauktik Bhasma 60mg + Gulvel satva 125mg x 3 times a day for 3 months. This medication will take care of your low back pain. Avoid cold contact to foots. Vaidya Upadhye http://www.astroayurvedalogy.com http://www.astrotreat.blogspot.com ________________ I'm a 34 year old Indian living in the US for the past 8 years.
