For optimum functioning of salivary glands, a simple remedy is to chew every morsel 14 times Hectic schedules and a fast-paced lifestyle hamper normal body functions. As a result, whatever one eats rots inside the stomach leading to the generation of toxins or 'ama'. This ama interferes with the secretion of digestive juices, scarcity of digestive juices hampers expulsion of wastes from the body. What you get are bad digestion and diseases that come along with it.  Early symptoms of digestive problems include eruptions on body, arms or face, whiteness at the center of finger nails and even patches on face or body. As per yog, human being has not one but four stomachs, namely, the mouth, bladder called stomach, the small and large intestines. An imbalance in any four leads to problems of digestion. In the mouth, saliva is secreted to break down food molecules. For optimum functioning of salivary glands, a simple remedy is to chew every morsel 14 times, this t...

Yoga was documented at least 5000 years ago. We document something at its culmination, not inception, so which means this science was tried and tested for many millennia before that by our ancestors…and till date the concepts and techniques are unchallenged by modern science.Through various practices detailed in Sanatan Kriya, we are trying to access this eternal force and power…which is, and has been. Lie down and relax the body. See that there is no disharmony in any joint or muscle. Invoke the energy of the Guru and Lord Ganesh. Inhale as you slowly raise your legs above the ground. Bend your knees bringing thighs perpendicular to the ground and calves parallel to ground. Simultaneously, place your palms under your head and raise your head above the ground. Hold the pose for some time. Exhale as you slowly get back to the initial position.  Repeat seven times. After completion of the pose check your pulse, it should not shoot up. Inhale and keep hands off the...

In Ayurveda , two conditions, known as Ardhaavabheda (half sided headache) and Anantavaata (meaning literally the unilateral pain) resemble the classic migraine. It can be triggered by large number of factors such as anger, frustration, depression, conflict, indigestion, a particular food and even weather. Some blood pressure or asthma medicines can also cause migraine. You will have to observe for yourself as to what triggers your migraine. Whatever the reason, in most cases of migraine, it’s the aggravated pitta dosha that is at the root of the problem. Pitta dosha impairs digestion and the ama produced by this gets stored in the manovah strotras (mind channels) and causes migraine. To avoid migraines, Avoid excesses of any kind. Your lifestyle should reflect ‘ati sarvatra varjayeth’ or moderation in all things. Avoid quick fix painkillers because they aggravate the problem and once their effect wears off the frequency of headaches starts to increase plus then you d...

                            HOW TO HAVE A STRONG DIGESTION The stomach as per the vedic sources is the organ responsible for deriving prana from the food and in this sense, the vedic masters identified three stomachs of a human being – the mouth, the actual stomach and the intestines. All these three stomachs are controlled and governed by the manipoorak chakra in the pranic body of a person. Maximum imbalances in the body start with congestion in the stomach and a faulty elimination of waste from the body, which ultimately manifests into disease. When you eat food, two things can happen that may lead to disease in future. First is the failure of absorption of nutrients from the intestines due to the development of a chemical coating on the walls due to eating food laced with chemicals and masalas. Second , the slow/negligible movement of the ingested food in the digestive tract due to lack of prani...

Diseases manifest in the body because of an imbalance…and imbalances occur due to disturbance in the equilibrium of the Tridoshas. In Ayurveda, tridoshas, also known as the stambhas (pillars) of life, are like a tripod on which the body stands. The state of balance in a body varies from individual to individual depending on the prakriti or constitution of that person, which is defined by the ruling doshas in an individual’s body. Vat which is the most dominant and important constitutes the very life of a being, for it is responsible for all activities of the body. Pitt helps in digestion and metabolism and kaph is the promoter of strength in the form of ojas. Acidity is a condition of excess acid secretion that causes irritation and burning of the mucosal lining of the stomach. As per Ayurveda this condition occurs due to an imbalance of the pitta dosha. This condition is a result of derangement of one of the sub-types of pitta dosha, Pachak. Pachak contributes to the digesti...

Second, the slow/negligible movement of the ingested food in the digestive tract due to lack of pranic energy in the manipoorak, once again resulting from ingestion of chemicals and dangerous masalas. Both these things lead to collection of ...
