impression of Ayurveda. Please read the following and do provide help

if possible.

It is time that all ayurvedic products and services be brought under

some globally accepted standards.

Respected Vikasji,

Hari Om !

Yes, it's true that many Ayurvedic Centres/Hospitals in India

including this reputed Kalari center in Kottayam are unethical

money-spinning enterprises…........…. Now you have seen the TRUTH.

His main problem was lower back pain which is related to `Lumbar

Spondylosis'. In this case, marma massage on all the six days of his

stay there wasn't necessary. Secondly, what was the function of

nasyam and shirodhara ?........ I don't understand. Only the

EXPERTS ( if they spare a few minutes for the members of the Group)

may pass a comment on the process……………… Kindly try to understand the

application of Panchkarma----------

Though products and treatments can be standardised, who will standardise

patients, without which an inconsistency is likely

to arise?

 

Ayurveda treats each individual as a unique creation and accordingly,

an individual medicine has to be made. Over the time, the art of

making the medicine for each individual is left to few traditional

vaidyas, and instread we have attractively packed and labelled

bottles with standardised contents!

 

Regarding the rashes now. A part of the message posted at other forum:

 

" During the first three days of treatment, I broke out in itchy red

rashes all over my body. They would get worse at night. It got a

little less fierce after that but two days after my return I still

get itchy and hot on various parts of my body through the day.

 

Even, sadly, my face, which has so many bumps after this treatment

and gets unbearably itchy sometimes.

 

Also, I'm getting mild kinds of stiffness in various joints and

muscles when they are exposed to a draught. Since this is summer in

India, I do need to turn on the fan and AC. "

 

The reddish patches, itchy character, bumps, increasing itch during

night is likely pointer of healing crisis. Massage, perhaps started

without amapachana, consolidated ama, and possibly ama was not

removed by other treatments (swedan). THe ama wished to exit through

skin, also got stuck in joints/muscles. This is ayurvedic jargon,

which a patient may or may not understand.

 

The reason for the rashes appears to be

rupture of small blood vessels (as a result of massage) under the

skin and local blood drying

as a result. Rupture of blood vessels is caused by Pitta unbalance,

reduced platellates. Pressing by a finger for some time

during medical check up can also leave a brownish spot for a few

hours/days. This occurs due to rupturing of blood vessel, an

indication of reduced platellates in blood. Immuno deficiency needs

to be reduced by rakta shuddhi medicines.

 

Goat Milk is the best remedy for this condition. Due to bitter herbs

eaten by Goat, her milk contains medicines which ayurveda terms Rakta

Shodhakas. 1-2 Glasses per day is minimum dose. It increases

platellates, strengthens blood vessels and reduces Pitta. Mixture of

Aamalaki powder and crystal sugar powder 1 tsp each (adult dose,

children dose halved) to be taken with a little water morning and

evening. If fresh amalaki fruit available, take out juice of 2 amala

fruits, mix in 2 tsp honey and take instead of powder and sugar. This

too is adult dose. Children dose to be halved.

 

A Rakta shuddhi kashaya for such situations is discussed at:

The low back pain, constant fatigue etc is an indicator of accumulated ama. it

can be addressed inexpensively, as described at

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/2765

 

The evidence for success of this path is available at:

However, do not try it without the guidance of local vaidya, who will save you

from similar mishaps.
