Apana Vata - partial translation from Madhavi

[Guest guest]

From Madhavi Rathod, group member, and graduate past assistant to Dr.

Lad. Ayurvedic Practitioner and Jyotishi in Chicago:

 

Saindhava is rock salt

Jal is water

so it could be a salt water solution

 

Darvi = ??? don't know

 

Jirak = cumin

Dhanya = coriander

 

jwara = fever

I wrote an article for Ayurveda Today on that way back; it's on my

website (with Wynn's permission) Treatment of Jwara Roga with

Ayurvedic Herbs http://www.vedichealing.com/articles_AyurvedicHerbs.cfm

 

Yashti Madhu is licorice

 

Avrodha = ? could be just a word that he is spelling differently than

I know

 

gati - he is using as the direction that the pulse is going

 

dhara - like shirodhara...pouring oil on a part of the body (he does

not mean the head here)

 

Shadangodak - NO IDEA

 

Mike is better at expalining difference b/n kayasham and quath

(alternate spelling); I mainly see quaths used.

 

Triphala recipes do vary; Dr. Lad calls for more Amalaki than the

other two; i forget the exact proportion now. I think Banyan uses

this formulation as well. You can call the 800 # and ask or I'll ask

Scott next time I talk to him (not sure when that will be).

 

Don't know what he means by medicinal water; definitions may vary by user.

 

FOR a UTI: cranberry juice.

 

Here's a formula I have:

 

Gokshura 5 parts, Punarnava 4, Musta 3, Coriander 4 - ½ t TID w/CCF

(cumin, coriander, fennel seed) tea

 

Mutral would probably work too as it works on mutra vaha srotas.

I think they sell it at the AI (Ayurvedic Institute, Albuquerque).

Madhavi has also posted the following articles on her website (nice

site, great picture Madhavi!) www.vedichealing.com

 

The Relationship Of Karma To The Disease Process

Ayurveda Today, Journal of the Ayurvedic Institute, Volume X, No. 3.

Winter, 1997

 

Samskaras In Relation To The Disease Process

Ayurveda Today, Journal of the Ayurvedic Institute, Volume X, No. 4.

Spring, 1998.

 

The Heart of Healing

Publsihed in the June/July 2003 issue of the Golden Mastermind

Seminars newsletter " More Heart than Talent " .

 

Regarding use of cranberry juice, I learned from one of Dr. Henry

Bieler's practitioners (non ayurvedic) a more ayurvedic solution:

cooked pineapple juice that had the core cooked in (Delmonte brand

unsweetened used to, don't know now) is more vata pacifying and does a

better job than the extremly vatagenic unsweetened cranberry, or the

counter productive sugar sweetened tht most people use.

 

I personally love gokesura. Nature seems to give us at least one

rasayana herb for the different system needs, looks to me. Not sure

if this is globally true, but gokesura unlike other urinary tract

herbs is so soothing it can make the membranes feel like silk; the

others are so drying. Guduchi unlike the other bitter herbs is ojas

enhancing while blood and liver cleansing. Would be interesting to do

a longer list like this. - Ysha

Namaskar Ysha,

 

You are so helpful to take the time to translate!

 

As is said here in Hawaii, " mahalo nui loa " , meaning

thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 

warmly,

Hello,

 

 

 

Darvi is daruharidra - Berberis aristata

 

Avarodha means obstruction

 

Gati is momentum/flow/direction

 

Shadangodak is prepared with combination of six herbs - musta, parpatak,

ushir, chandan(sandlewood), udichya, and nagar(dry ginger). Prepare a tea

from these and use it cold. This is advised for fever with excessive thirst

(pipasa-jvara). Beautiful combination – digestive yet pitta-reducing and

thirst-quenching, especially during fever. Try and get as many herbs as you

can if you could not get all 6.

Hi Dr. Thite;

Berberis we have here, I think it is also called barberry but I'm not

taking the time to look up my herbs in Michael Dick's herbal

database...we definitely have access to musta, sandlewood and nagar.

Thank you for such ready sharing; looks like a lovely formula. The

nagar (ginger) alone will be heating, but musta and especially sandal

very much good for the pitta. So berberis could be used also in lieu

of the other missing herbs -

 

When you say use cold, you mean cool/room temp?

Hello,

 

Yes, cool means room temperature or even little cooler than room

temperature.

 

The original sanskrit *shloka (*verse) is as follows:

 

*Musta parpatakoshir chandanodichya nagaraihi |*

*shrutasheetam jalam dadyat pipasa jvara shantaye ||*

 

*Shruta-sheetam* means boiled and cooled. *Jalam* (*jal*) means water. *

Dadyat* means 'give' (imperative form) *Pipasa *means thirst. *'Pipasa

jvara shantaye' means ''in order to pacify fever with thirst " *

**
