Boom Boom Boozers

Dear Drs. & friends,

Namaste. The richness of our Country,India ( in ancient days) is well known to us . Iam not talking about the present scenario(where ' Rich gets Richer....Poor gets poorer...)...nor about Sociology...The wealth and the culture of the our India attracted the Capitalism ,Industrialism and eventually dominionism into it..

The heritage of the country need not be mentioned here ...bcoz it's doing rounds in Facebook and other sites..( hope most of us did see it..and the letter of Lord X??? to the Queen of England regarding the wealth this nation possessed.(..If not please try to do it)....

But as an Indian from the deep of the heart I strongly feel that one of the main accused in exploiting and still ruining our Nation is ALCOHOL in all its ( non -medicated alcohol)..(Excluding Aasavaas and Arishtaas) forms .We can't deny that our Ancestors didn't consume the brews....May be the Bhaishajya kalpana is the inventor of inebriants...but the ratio of the quantity and the numerals were negligible...

From our childhood we might have seen many drunkards of all versions ( part time/ party time/occasional/depressed/social/24 hours)...I was scared....really scared...till schooling...

It turned to aversion while graduating especially in public transport...( speak to the sisters,daughters or mother @ home...u will know and feel the pain they suffered while travelling or roaming alone because of these wino-s)...But my aversion turned to astonishment when I saw girls and women smoking and drinking in public...and totally astounded by availing the news that is the case not only in Urban but in rural areas too.....If somebody comes advocating that drinking these spirits falls under personal limits....I kindly request them to touch their own consciences and justify themselves...If they are going to justify that they are not disturbing anyone else....' I jus booze up and enter my room or get into my bed'.....Then:

Humanistic discipline says:

1) Nobody have the right to ruin your own health/ body.

2) No Human resource can be wasted

Under these principles - if suicide attempt is an offence,what about the boozing?

Is only drinking and driving combination, a punishable act and is the sole act of drinking pleasurable?

I have imagined an India minus Intoxicants= extra ordinary beautiful Indians( Morally and Physically)...

The time we spend on these petty issues even on the chat over it.....is very valuable which is not counted by us....

Politicians minus alcohol

Bureaucrats minus alcohol

Rich minus alcohol

Poor minus alcohol

In this the economically weaker sections are very pitiable....the victims drag the entire family into the sufferings...

The former three categories may have sufficient time and energy to do good either for themselves or for others....or for their Country( depends upon their attitude) if they give up the intoxicants....Anyhow something GOOD would be obtained by someone...or by their own family.

Most of the youngsters and even children around 9-15 years have been trapped by this demon.It starts with socialising,partying or mere curiosity.... and a LIFE- starts into another direction...for most of them...

Mentation of the poor and weaker sections of the society will tell us the bitterness...

De- addiction has to be discussed among the medical fraternity in still more serious mode...

'Shrikandasavam' appears first to the mind on this topic.I too have been prescribing this for many.

But without the force of the mind how far can a medicine for such cases would work? I have few requests and suggestions ...

1) Counsel all cases where history of alcohol is there - relevant or irrelevant to the present complaint for which the patient attended your clinic.Its our duty and ethic.

2)Speak to the family members.

3) Each one has their own story.Yet hear it.

"A good listener can be a good preacher."

To bring down the intoxication:

1) honey can be sipped down even in excess quantities.

2) milk with dates.

3) butter milk

4) pouring of cold water over the head.

5)lemon rubbed over scalp or administered internally

6) onions to be chewed.

(Believe others can come out with more suggestions).

Khajura mantha (Sha.sam.) is worth a deep research.

To cause aversion towards the intoxicants:

"Dhaniya seeds ( Coriandrum sativum) to be processed as a kashayam( decoction) and to be administered with palm crystal/ lemon juice". This is to be given regularly and effect is exhibited gradually..

Almost all of them knew the harmful effects of the alcohol.But they are the weak victims who didn't try or try in vain to come out.So scaring the drunkards even before the actual symptoms show in would many times prove fruitful.And now the ball is in the family member's court( esp. spouse's).

How to scare??????: (be ready to be scared)

1) paste of mustard to be mixed with food and given after the victim(?) enters home drunken.

2)VACHA to be mixed with any fruit juice and fed.

Both the above results in vomitting ...

3)The patient's brief or any garment should be stained with blood( from butcher's shop) and to be shown when they are in normal state and say some thing abnormal is happening in his / her body.

4) Well wishers and friends should are to be intimated to intimidate the patient ??? by enquiring occasionally (in their respective rounds in a short span of time)like, "Why do you look aged much earlier? or Why is your face sunken?",etc.

5) Through a well known Physician , inform the victim that his ECG has got severe changes ---- going towards massive attack...

6) Make scenes as if the patient is getting into amnesia...

7)Death's imminency due to alcohol should be emphasised in extreme cautions...

The article's content is not about De- addiction course...but the intention is to prevent a stage of alcoholism where De-addiction course becomes must...Becoz the fact is many of the victims cannot realise or admit that they reached a stage where treatment had become mandatory....

Many friends of mine came out of the demon's den successfully and lives a dignified life...I have to congratulate them on this instance....for I knew how much time they needed to quit it ( Of course...there was a lot of fun and pranks then:) :)

Nobody might have forgotten the recent news of vision loss by hundreds due to Arrack recently...

My humble request is to propagate Anti-Alcoholism to the extent possible....

Encourage for De- addiction...

Support thoroughly for those who are in the course...

Will our Mother entertain us to intoxicate???

Our Mother Nation too won't....

" ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO STUPIDITY. BUT SOME ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE". Use the LIFE installed in your body by LORD with LOVE....

Apologising in advance if I have hurt anybody's feelings...

REGARDS.......

Baby's health care

‎"Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future."

~ John F. Kennedy

When you become a mother, you stop being the picture and start being the frame.

( A frame which bears and never transits fracas of any sort into it....)

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Let us not discourage HIM yet by bestowing health to our sweet heart cutes....

Following are the few regimen which can be adapted after the new born steps into our home....

Before going to the subject let me clear the air-----

1)Trying all the home made remedies are at our own risk..

2)Discussing it with your Paediatrician(Allo People) might end in mental chaos...Follow it only if u hav utmost faith in the system...

3)Since all the MOTHERS become the best DIAGNOSERS ( not PHYSICIANS) of the CRY & SMILE of their infants after handling the babies even within very few days -- heed to what the Mothers say.....

3)Whatever we follow or practice is secondary...but HYGIENE is primary in all those....steps....

4)Administering cow's milk in an early age leads to critical subsequences....( one of my best friend administered Go dugdha during the 1st month of her baby under the impact that it is best after STANYA ---- but she was abused by the Paediatricians like an illiterate)--- rather than this the pain the parents and the family undergoes cannot be put in words.....THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU ACT...

5)For the 1st 6 months of age ONLY STANYA is the LIFE LINE....we need not feed even water....But in practice sometimes due to the pressure from our elders @ home we can feed the babies with warm water(1-3 tsp.)( water shd be boiled well)

6)Feeding mothers are advised to take plenty of water or fruit juices or porridge like liquids...esp. during feeding process....

7)Uttering mantras or shlokas or prayer songs in minimal voice ( I feel mind voice is better...) while feeding....never watch soaps/serials...

8)Wipe baby's lips after feeding...

9)Speak with the baby as much as possible...even if we knew that they can't capture all we say....( there r many children whose development in regard to verbal power gets hampered bcoz of the very reason that parents & the elders never speak to them.)....

Hope I hav started preaching ....let me stop here...

** Last never the least( Iam helpless....I couldnt stop...pl bear with me) AVOID FEEDING BOTTLES/TEETHERS/SUCKERS to the extent possible....working women pl consider various methods of extracting STANYA and storing till u return....After 6 months of age, feed them with spoons......Feeding counsellors are available.....

TO EXPEL THE MECONIUM:

A drop of ERANDA TAIL mixed well with STANYA to be applied over the baby's tongue on 3 rd day...< pl do this at ur own risk> .(..It's better to avoid this one ...Within 24-48 hrs the infants are supposed to pass the meconium..after this expulsion even if they didn't pass bowels for 10 days the parents need not panic unless the baby becomes irritable and cries continuously...Applying warm palms( by rubbing) over the belly...applying ERANDA tail at the anal region helps most of the times.But the above said method if made under sterilised

conditions / if u r sure ab the hygienic parameters -is far better than allopathic medicines .Hence the caution of 'ur own risk '...is labelled here.

Lactating mothers if fed with greenies -baby's bowel movements can be regularised...)

TO PREVENT THE VACCINATION MARKS:

Apply NIMBA leaves+HARIDRA over the injected site....

NAMING CEREMONY:

Generally Namakaran wld be conducted on 9th/11th day and the infant wld be given its first ritual bath by the elder members of the family..followed by the auspicious poojas and other ceremonies and gatherings to welcome the new born into the family.....Ofcourse a memorable and PRIDE moments of the MOTHER and very spl for a Primi....!!the joy of the parents and the grannys knew no boundaries....Think of an expecting mother in ur closest family circle.....Isn't there a ray of joy sweeping into u.?...Yes! It does....!!!

MASSAGE -BEFORE BATHING: Usage of Til oil on new borns is at stake in many families...for it renders cold???? to the body...

Coconut oil bought to a mild heat mixed with a little coconut milk added with a pinch of Curcuma aromatica (VANA HARIDRA) is used for abhyanga...(Most of us are aware of preparation of coconut milk...to prepare it's oil -boil the c.milk continuously over mild flame and keep on stirring .....).If the oil is made @ home no need of adding the c.milk to the massaging oil....jus add VANA HARIDRA.

BATHING:

Add Amrutanjan/Vicks vaporub( Remember ,Dr.Divakar garu's Amrutanjan Doctor article) - in a bucket of hot water for bathing the baby...The mother can apply over her Chest before feeding her child...Make sure not to irritate the child...apply it mildly..( this is a weaning method ....Hence can be used when weaning becomes absolute must....by applying over the breasts...)

TILAK:

VACHA is a must at an home where Infant has stepped in...

Soak VACHA in salt water for few minutes..and expose the same into a fire lit in a lamp with TIL tail( the oil poured in the lamp plays its own part) & store the VACHA in a container....

When the Sweet hearts suffer from abdominal pain - (by this time each mother can diagnose herself the reason for her baby's cry/ cuddle...) Make a paste of this (Hygiene,Hygiene...)SWEET FLAG and apply over tongue & tummy....

( In southern parts of Bharat desh this is applied on the centre of forehead and in north ,at the corners... A separate debate...??)

AFTER BATHING:

To prevent the agitated doshas in the constitution.....the utmost care an AYURVEDIC PHYSICIAN can give/ prescribe is -

Mixture of:

1) SHUNTI

2) RAASNAA

3)JAYAPHALA (Myristica fragrans)

4)MACHIKA ( Quercus infectoria)

All these r to b boiled in milk and dried in shade and powdered...( priorly)

Make into a paste along with little HINGU after bathing the Child...and apply it over the tongue.

SHUNTI and HINGU- reduces Vaayu.

RAASNAA- reduces phlegm

JAYAPHALA- bestows good sleep

MACHIKA- prevents loose stools.

A Child is Nature's Way of Giving the World Another Chance ....

Wishing all a HAPPY SANKRANTI/PONGAL...

PONGAL'o PONGAL....

BABIES ARE THE BACK BONE OF OUR FAMILY------FARMERS ARE THE BACK BONE OF BHARAT....LET US HELP ALL THE FARMERS WHO GIVE US FOOD EVERYDAY...

JAI HIND!!!!!

Simple formulae:Sure Success

A small attempt to translate few verses from an e- book (Tamil)which my sister Mrs.Vanaja Mathanraj forwarded me .I owe her a lot ( for all the sacrifices she made for my sake in our childhood) esp. for this one.Its a compilation work (of 321 pages) yet a competent one with all possible easily available medicines for many disorders...

We might have all Samhitas....but for a common man and for those who can't get to the terminologies ,only such books carry Indigenous medicine to their hearts and homes...They r least bothered about the System of Medicine nor about the Pharmacolgy...but only the effects or results....( jus like our 'KOLAVERI' did/does)....

Toss away all those doshic involvement jus while going thru this- is what I say while glancing at this book...

So Iam here to get those better interpretations which Iam not well verse at....Here I'll place those home made & simple remedies for few ailments and disorders...

Ayurvedic pharmacy

AYURVEDIC PHARMACY
dear respected vaidyasi just want to know the formalities for running a ayurvedic pharmacy .is there any need for us to get drug license from drug inspectors? and is there any other formalities?hope i could get some insight,i am planning to open an outlet adjacent to my clinic.thanks in advance.
1) If planning to open an outlet of sales division for OTC and planning to give the bills, as Dr.Surendra bhaiyya stated, the TAN & TIN IS REQUIRED
2)Dear DOCTOR,If by pharmacy u mean a manufacturing unit then yes u have to register it as a company and accquire proper drug licence from state unit. U can download the complete procedure from website of AYUSH. If not found their just give me ur email i'll send u by attachement.If u wish to run a retail store then every state has it's own rule so please check with the autorities of ur state

3)Dear Sunil,Running an Ayurvedic pharmacy retail store does not requires any licence from department of Ayurveda nor from any drug inspectors .You just have to complete some formalities from sales tax department to acquire TAN and TIN numbers. And that is it....All the best for your new planning

Mahanimba

Namaste! Shall I present a small case before you all eminent Physicians and my dear friends which inclined me more towards our precious texts and Veda.

Certainly I should!

On 12-11-2010 a male pt.of 50 years-moderately obese complaining of pain over his Rt.gluteus regn. radiating to his right thigh attended the OPD on a fine morning. The history was since 20 years and before 12 years he had some Desi dawaai (stated as Ayurvedic) for 4 months and had remarkable relief then. But the pain recurred few years later and has become severe for the past few weeks.

The pain was such that it troubled the pt.on sitting from the lying downposition and even a while -sitting was problematic. Walking few meters discomforted him a lot.

Pers. His.: Short stature

Vegetarian , Non-smoker, Non- alcoholic

Manager in a big concern

Rides bike 40 km/day on avg.

Bowels-Normal

Wt. – 72 kgs

No other significant complaint.

He attended the dispensary thru one of his staff who is my patient too.

The prescription was so simple containing Yogaraja guggulu, Vatari guggulu and Mahamasha tail.

One text haunted my mind regarding Mahanimba which is widely available and adviced the patient to take the kalka in empty stomach .

During the follow-up on 3-12-2010 he said “ 80% improvement and halkaa sa dard letne se utne par”(sic).I accept- it was just an experiment done with a strong confident that the kalka can never hurt the pt in anyway. It was a surprise for me for I was under the impression that Our medicines work efficiently only on GIT and very less over the other systems of the body. (Frankly I was more excited than the pt which I had to hide with difficulty till I met my Better-half to whom I discuss such attributes of Ayurveda). I was unable to credit this success to the prescription of the compound medicines dispensed because the same was and is being administered to many cases of similar complaint with insignificant progress.

The reference is not being quoted here as the Eminent Physicians know it and my dear and respectful friends can explore new gems from the ocean on going search into the deep ocean .

I humbly request all our fraternity to guide me about what to be queried and what to be done during the next follow-up of the pt (The pt continues the prescription and the kalka presently).

MY HEARTY SALUTES TO THOSE GREAT SAGES AND OUR PIVOTS OF THE PANEL...........

pacahana kashaya --simple recipe

DHANYA NAGARAJA KWATHA PACHANO DEEPANAS TATHA

The patient is 3+ years old, was suffering with loose stools at the frequency of 3-5 episodes per day since 3-4 days. H/O-Nausea and 2 episodes of vomiting were present.

“LANGANAM PARAMAOUSHADHAM”-----------is the line of treatment followed and suggested. The tot denied the food and I too advocated very “LAGHU AAHAARAAS ” with profound caution against hypoglycaemia and dehydration.

But in the next 2 days the condition turned bad with increase in frequency and the volume of stools with foul odour and tenesmus.(The child took few pieces of kurkure).

Panic enough the mother thought of starting the antibiotics as the water supply around their area was the worst ever and all the disease scenarios were on the outbreak. I just requested the pitiful mother to give away the idea for at least for few days. During the past for a similar history, I had administered “KARPURA RAS” which I liked to avoid this time. I went through our “SAMHITAs”(Yes! We do get the desired gems with a goal in our mind only on searching from the treasures. Believe it.)

I was keen on using easily available drugs and easily processible formulation. It was found that almost all preparations indicated for “Atisara” containing either “SHUNTI and / or DHANYA/DHANYAKA “AND SO THE ABOVE STATED VERSE.

DEEPANA AND PACHANA would be the first line of treatment and why don’t we go alone on that?

Preparation of KWATH:

PANEEYAM SHODASHA GUNAM KSHUNNAE DRAVYAPALAE KSHIPAET

MRUTPATRAE KWATHAYED GRAHYAM ASHTAMAAMSHAAVASHESHITAM

Approximate derivation would be:

50 gms of coarse powder + 800 ml of water------boiling---------à100 ml of kashaya

(SUGGESTIONS AND CORRECTIONS ARE ENTERTAINED)

Dose of Kashaya:

2 palas (approx. 48 ml)

Time of administering Kashaya:

AAHARA RASAPAKAE CHA SANJATAE

Life span of kashaya: 12 hrs

Around 12 gms each of DHANYA AND NAGARA WERE BOILED IN 400 ML OF WATER AND REDUCED TO 5Oml.

Anupaana of kashaya:

Vata pitta kapha

Sugar ¼ 1/8 1/16

Honey 1/16 1/8 ¼

Here it was difficult to select the anupana for the dosha involved was difficult to evaluate. Apana vayu for certain is disturbed. Shall I go with sugar under vata’s dose of anupana?

At the first instance, just 10 ml of kashaya was administered along with 2 pinches of sugar (Bachchae ko kada pilaana aasaani cheez nahi hai.All gimmicks and probable facts told beyond her perceivable power.

My heaven! The child was craving for food within next few minutes and she didn’t purge for the next 4 hrs inspite of the porridge feeding (which she previously did) and the whole kashaya was thus given till night.........

The next day she did well except 1- 2 purges and then again the kashaya was restarted and 10 ml of MUSTA ARISHTAM -on and off (the latter is being given to the kid frequently as a routine Agni deepanam even before).No complain of loose stools thereafter. She is fine then.

Respected Panelists,

I pay my Special Thanks to Dr.G.S.Dehalji who thru his postings established the opinion of administering frequent doses of medicines during emergency in my mind........and Dr.Rangaprasad avargal and Dr.Divakargaru for creating confidence .I owe a lot to them.

Last but never the least to my daughter who took the medicine inspite of the pungentness and bitterness.

This article could have been stated in just 2 lines if I’Id have been a lay -woman........What made me to elaborate this is my MOTHERLIHOOD and to vaunt off the success through our MOTHER-SCIENCE.........

THANKS TO AC.COM..

THANKS TO THE ALMIGHTY...

Hepatitis-C

HEPATITIS C-BY DR SHRI DHAR
DEAR DRS
HERE IS SUMMARY OF HEPATITIS C
HEPATITIS C THIS VIRUS COMES MAINLY THROUGH BLOOD TRANSFUSION .
IF ANY PATIENT WHO HAS HAD A BLOOD TRANSFUSION AND NOW DEVLOPS AN ATTACK OF VIRAL HEPATITIS THINK OF HEPATITIS C
OR IF A PATIENT IS FOUND TO HAVE PERSISTENT ABNORMAL LIVER FUNCTION TEST ON TWO OR THREE OCCASIONS THEN THINK OF HEPATITIS C
SYMPTOMS OF HEPATITIS C ARE==There may no symptoms at at all it remain silent for a long until it causes cirrohsis of liver or liver cancerSymptoms of acute hepatitis C infection may be decreased in appetite, fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, itching, and flu-like symptoms (headache ,bodyaches,marked weakness and asthenia
Mode of transmission
1. Blood transfusion
2. Sharing needles
3. From dental procedures(through hepatitis c infected equipment)
4. Tattoo making
5. Nose and ear pierceing
6. Sharing tooth brush,razors,scisors etc
Note: Hepatitis c is not transmitted by sexual intercourse(rare if it occur),hugging,kissing,eating others food bites, using utensils of of an infected person.
it is not transmitted by brestfeeding to baby.
Diagnosis=Hepatitis C testing begins with serological blood tests used to detect antibodies to HCV. Anti-HCV antibodies can be detected in 80% of patients within 15 weeks after exposure, in >90% within 5 months after exposure, and in >97% by 6 months after exposureCourse and Prognosis =Hepatitis C may ends in cirrohsis of liver or liver cancer
NO VACCINATION IS AVAILABLE TILL TO DATECHAMPANZIANS WHICH RESEMBLES TO HUMANS ARE PROTECTED FROM HEPATITIS C, OTHERWISE IT’S VACCINATION MIGHT HAVE AVAILABLE TODAY.WHEN HEPATITIS C VIRUS IS INJECTED TO CHIMPENZEES THEY GOT ITS INFECTION BUT THE DISEASE DOES NOT PROGREES IN THEM THAT IS WHY IT’S VACCINATION IS NOT AVAILBLE ,HUMAN DNA RESEMBLE TO CHIMPENZEES IN A GREAT EXTEND
