Knee pain is becoming common in middle age population also now a days . Causes of knee pain may be falls ,fractures or conditions like Osteo arthritis causing degeneration of bones in knee joint. Symptoms associated with knee pain may be difficulty in movement , swelling of knee joint , difficulty to stand up after sitting and stiffness in knee joint. Investigations helpful for diagnosis are blood tests , X ray and other radiological tests. In Ayurveda , Sandhivata causes knee pain. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and reduce weight of the body to decrease work load of knee joint which bears the body weight always. Patients are advised diet plans and simple exercises along with Ayurvedic medicines including oils . Why applying oils is recommended ? Applying oils increases lubrication in the joints ,helps for movement ,also reduces dryness created ;by Vata in joints. Other therapies like Abhyanga ,Kizhi and Janu basti also are highly effective in knee pain cases. Posted by Dr

Look at your childhood pics where you were seen as a chubby baby with lots of happiness and enthusiasm on face always , and pictures of old people with frowned eyebrows and  wrinkled skin ... How people get transformed like this ? As per Ayurveda , the Vata ,Pitta and Kapha affects the body in three stages of life also. In the childhood , Kapha nourishes and develops the bodily tissues with its unctous nature , also the babies will be having soft , smooth skin and  attraction to sweet things due to kapha ,happiness also correlates to Kapha. Satva guna dominates in mind also . They are innocent in nature then. Later , Pitta with hot nature makes the body attain full maturity ,makes brave ,valour Rajasic materialistic people in the middle age . In the senility , the body undergoes influence of Vata , bodily tissues deplete ,body becomes discoloured , greying and other ageing mechanisms occur. See antioxidant activity get reduced , so Oxygen the gas is having role there.. Gas is also

You might have seen Demons ,The Asuras fighting with prickly weapons in the Television. Why such a shape is preferred for showing negative weapons ? The answer is in thorny plants like Cactus which are xerophytic adaptations to store water and to  decrease surface area of the plant surface for  reducing further loss of water in dry areas like deserts. As per Ayurveda , dryness ,the ruksa guna is found in Vata dosha. So , the black thorny plant itself represents Vata dosha kopa and it shows a kind  of dehydration in the surrounding areas too as it stores water for itself always . In terms of human emotions , this can be correlated to Rajasic and Tamasic attitude full of greed and Ignorance respectively. The flowers will be rajasic , with attractive colors like red , thorns will be tamasic , black and prickly. Vastu sastra also shares similar view to avoid thorny plants in house and nearby premises. The dryness can even reflect in personal relationships in the family members in such

Vedic numerology , Astrology and Ayurveda are closely related. Ever wondered why Modern medicine became the primary medicine in the recent era ? Why Strong Sun in the natal horoscope chart signifies modern medicine study ? Why Homeopathy is favourite for all and even their medicines ? For that , the connections need to be explained first. In Vedic  Numerology , Numbers from 1 to 9 are assigned to Navagrahas . 1 - Soorya or Sun 2 - Chandra or Moon 3 - Guru or Jupiter 4 - Rahu 5 - Budha or Mercury 6 _ Sukra  or Venus 7 - Ketu 8 - Sani or Saturn 9 - Kuja  or Mars For English alphabets also , numbers are assigned . 1- A, I ,J, Q , Y 2 - B, R , K, R 3 - C, G, L, S 4 - D, M, T 5 - E ,X , N ,H 6 - U, V , W 7 - Z , O 8 - F 9 - P If we calculate , total of Ayurveda the word letters , we will sum up as number 8 . 8 represents Saturn , the giant old planet in Astrology .

You might have noticed famous celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan wearing gems like Silver Pearl ring in  the little finger in films and public functions .Such people also undergo expensive beauty care treatments including facials like Pearl facial to reduce sun tan and  prevent wrinkles  on face due to ageing. Pearl is the common thing here . Pearl ,one among the Nava ratnas originating from the water itself is considered as Queen among  Astrological gems also . That which is cool and  have water origin will be obviously reducing excessive effects of heat in the body and mind . Be it fever , acidity , mental depression due to excessive tensions and anger or excessive bleeding, Pearl or mukta is effective in all ways . Pearl is also a natural Calcium supplement useful in Osteo arthritis and associated ailments. In Ayurveda , we give Mukta bhasma ,the incinerated form for such complaints . It reduces Pitta imbalance in the body . Pitta is having hot nature always , coolness of muk

What details you need to share with your Ayurveda doctor on consultation? Apart from normal medical case history details ,Ayurvedic doctors ask some specific questions related to the examination aspects in Ayurveda . So , take care of these things in mind before your visit to the Doctor. Name ,age ,address,gender ,occupation are part of common medical data at first recorded , next part comes as presenting complaints ie , now what the patient feels as signs of the disease . Then ,the onset ,duration and progressof that complaint is recorded along with any associated complaints if any like numbness in feet in Diabetes patients . The past medical history also is asked to reveal any fall ,accident or illnesses like Chickunguniya the patient had or  had undergone treatment before . Specifically ,after asking height and weight ,checking parameters like Blood pressure etc , the patient is asked about Bowel , how the bowel motion is taking place ? Is it hard stool ,passing only once a

NEET the national entrance is getting popular day by day.  Those who wish to be doctors study hard to crack out the entrance ,some succeed , some donot. The majority who wish to be doctors will be having the aim to be a doctor mainly due to some concepts of the society. Let me say one by one , A doctor is highly respected in the society ,even name ,fame amd wealth are guaranteed assets in the future for them . They have to study well , harder and harder and work out every now and then to improve their knowledge and clinical skills . Yet the society loves the so called 'Stethoscope tagged doctor images ' always . Many people aspire to make their children doctors in the future ,for that they send them to coaching centres even starting from primary classes for the so called foundation courses. Some students will be good in mathematical gimmicks and byhearting skills . Those with will and determination do succeed in this rat race. Yet, a minority who doesn't had that much

I have pain balm ,why my doctor tells me to apply oil for my pain ? This is a common question Ayurveda doctors hear. Basically ,pain is caused due to imbalance of Vata dosha in the body ,so to decrease the increased vata in the body , oil is said to be effective. Vata is having cold and dry properties ,in the body also it creates such a situation . So the taila or the oil has in it naturally the oilyness which moisturize and nourish the body especially in joint pain . Lubrication created by the oil helps the body become flexible too . So it is advisable to apply oil than applying general balms for every pain .

Experiences makes one know the world perfectly.. It is his or her unique personality which decides how to react to that situation. Some may prepare themselves to fight with adversities . Some may feel insecure and try to escape from the situation. This is an experience once told by a journalist about his student. Like an average indian girl she also had her dreams .. dreams about a perfect family , education , job and ofcourse marriage. But her fate was not upto the mark.. Besides being an alcoholic her father developed paranoid behaviour to her mother. When trust is broken in a relationship , its all gone. He lost trust in his wife and the poor daughter had to silently suffer all the quarrels. Being fed up with this and losing hope about  future  , her elder sister committed suicide. She also could choose that  path but she decided to continue her studies amidst  the storm. In the night when her parents quarrelled , she studied without considering that.. For her, this di

I have a question in my mind... If anyone can suggest an ample answer  for this ,please do it.. In this wonderful yet unpredictable world,many people come and go ... Some people do righteous things,some others fill the world with destructive thoughts,some others shrink into their own lives,some others illuminate the society with selfless services.. What all the religions teach us is to be on the right path always and not to cultivate evil ideas. It is a fact that creating shortcuts for success by any means is the real mantra of the mankind in this century. That is , often we say practical aspect is something different from documented knowledge. Inspite of knowing this reality,some guys will do hard work and live modestly without even thoughts of harming others.People loving power and control over others ascend in life even by harassing innocent people.The learned pious guys lose everything in the race of life. Indian ideology points out the reason as sins done in the previous

THIS IS A TRUE STORY..... He, had lost his parents....and with his brother ,he was living somehow.. He did not think about the rest of his life.. but he knew life is not that much easy.. Some trivial incidents in school life with friends as co-actors,some  memories about some one whom he cared and loved silently are his most valuable assets in life.... She was a sleeping beauty for him,from the first moment they saw in the class, he felt a strange  connection with her.. He did not try  to attract her by playing gimmicks,only he knew was to worship her silently in his mind,spend hours to watch how she used to talk and walk around with friends.. She remained quiet, but her cute smile could not hide her mind from him.He felt waves of happiness around him.. They did not go for  a date,nor they wanted to cheat their family. The religious barriers created an unknown space between their families. For this relationship, even the teachers scolded him badly. He was injured at mi

RAILWAY JOURNEYS ALWAYS  GIVES YOU A  GIST OF HUMAN LIVES... YES.....all will be familiar with scenes like this in railway journeys..... Today I had a rail journey from Coimbatore to Kottayam and I  am sharing my small observations  made today about human life ...  IN A RAILWAY STATION,  A variety of people from Delhi to Kanyakumari. The age old saga of unity  in diversity comes to mind... Then  after some time they become crowds rushing for one common cause..catching the train..! Somehow all will manage to get in ...then starts the issue to get a seat...after capturing seats,they go on  comfortably chatting with whomever they find with a smile  on the opposite seats... Toilets will not be FINE ,,yet they will sigh after some time thinking who is going to come again to ENJOY IT.....and happily they will enter it among once upon a time stories in mind!! Coming to my experience.....I  bought Chetan bhagatjis 'What young india wants' and was reading in the train

EXPERIENCES ARE EXPERIMENTS MEANT  FOR  BETTERMENT  OF FUTURE  LIFE . REMEMBER  EVERY  PERSON  ENTERING  YOUR  LIFE  WILL  EITHER  TEACH  YOU  SOMETHING  OR LEARN  SOMETHING  FROM  YOU . YOU  HAVE  TWO  OPTIONS  LEFT  ALWAYS - FIGHT  OR  FLIGHT .. CIRCUMSTANCES  MAKE  YOU  CHOOSE  ONE .. THINK  YOURSELF  AS A  FOLLOWER OF GOD AND  DO YOUR  DUTY WITHOUT  EXPECTING BENEFITS . KARMANYEVADHIKARASTE MA PHALESHU KADACHANA... SRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA SAYS IT ALL... THESE ARE MERE SCRIPTURAL GUIDANCE..

It seems to be  hot on a cool chilly  day... Whether its my mind or feelings I don't know.. It seems to be like an ocean in my heart, Whether its a tornado over there,or not, I don't know.. I don't know God,what hopelessness is.. Whether its the feeling now I am feeling or not,I don't know.. I think that there is no hope for hopelessness also,is nt that hopelessness I feel now? Decades to live ,millenium to cover,whats the value of a human life,I don't know.. What is the conflict in my mind,I don't know.. I don't know what  to pray to you God.. I cannot express my feelings to you ,oh,my God,till right now. I only know to say my thanks to you,Oh,my GOD,,,,that you are doing me favour always...this is all I KNOW....!!

B eing  meritorious is not  valuable  unless  you  try  to  be  helpful  for  the  progress  of  the  human  race  in some  way . You  may  be   an  average  student  ,yet  if  you  have  a good  mind  to  be  a helping  hand  for  others, you  you  will  reach  heights  in  your  future  life . Think  why  always  the rank holders achieve  great  successes ... TRY TRY TRY AGAIN IS THE ONLY  KEY  TO SUCCESS . FAILURES ARE THE  STEPPING  STONES  T O SUCCESSES .

Recently , attended a camp. I got some sparking thoughts after the sessions there. Often, indian weddings are known as big fat indian wedding. Unnecessary expenditure for ornaments and food stands first in this area.  For some hours, spending this much of money will of course lead to untoward effects in that family and affect the whole society gradually.  Cant we think of less expensive marriages? Think of helping some poor children by providing them books or study materials if your family  member is getting married rather than spending lakhs for makeup, jewels and garments. Remember simplicity is also a followable style ...for Gandhiji taught us earlier itself. These are just hints of some thoughts.It depends on u to analyse and decide. BEING INDEPENDENT IS TO BE  PRACTICED IN THOUGHTS AND DEEDS.                              REST U CAN DECIDE INDEPENDENTLY.....

THIS POST IS DEDICATED FOR CREATING AWARENESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING MOTHER TONGUE AND CULTURE..  In the present era, people migrate and immigrate often. But knowing your roots is important .   U learn various languages...but u should know to read and write your mother tongue first.. first respect and care your mother, then go for other people.. Many people boast of their tradition without knowing it properly...\ Be frank and open in your views...start learning from the basics...ur own language and culture.first. Ur next generation may be born and brought up  in another country,,yet they should be aware of the importance of their culture...   A global unity is expected and unity in diversity is the most beautiful aspect of this. Pray for the peace of the entire human race..lokaha  samastha sukhino bhavanthu..

     God is great... With god u are hero without god u are zero.. These sentences are my all time favourites. A simple story..     A man died , reached heaven and met god there.. He told to god . .i am not satisfied with ur deeds because i prayed u all the time yet u gave me difficult situations.. u didnt help me at all.  God smiled and showed him a thing .wherever the person went four footprints were imprinted on the ground. When he entered the tedious part of his life , only two prints.. To his surprise, god told him ..  oh my child , those foot prints are not urs , but mine because i was carrying u in those difficult times so that u dont suffer ... Think the greatness of our creator and his selfless love and care for us. Be thankful for him always....

Siva+sakthi is making corrections or even a destruction as a better option.. saraswathy represents knowledge  lakshmi represents wealth      sakthi represents power.
