It’s one of the best places to be in. It’s like you are in the middle of a movie. There is a lot of drama, action, crying, pain, shouting, excitement, love, tension, very thrilling climax & most of the time a Happy Ending. 🥳👶🏻
From last few days of my posting at Sub-district hospital🏥, on every alternate day, I get to see some of the most genuine moments in life.
A couple of days back a young girl in her twenties was in labour. After long hours of enduring pain, she delivered a beautiful baby. Few hours later as she was being moved to her bed, her husband was waiting to receive her. He was so happy to see her that he forgot about the surroundings & people around him. He bent down & kissed his wife on her forehead as she lay in the stretcher exhausted from the pain of labour, dressed in a hospital gown & her hair amiss!
As many of the schools are about to start,, until when the parents be scared of this pandemic & not sernding their children to the schools & bear the loss of academics ?
Is anyone there who said yes ✅to this!!No none!
The journey of thousand miles begins with one step!Ensure your child’s future by taking just 1 step by giving them immunity drops~of Swarnaprashan!
Suvarna Prashan has got magical results when it’s given at the right time, under right guidance & alongwith right medhya dravyas.
💮Swarna- it’s one of the noble & potent metal, used in formulations in the form of incinerated ash (i.e. Bhasma)
💮Prashan- here means to lick the formulation (as it’s Lehan Sanskar according to ayurveda)Or simply administration.
So, collectively Swarnaprashan is administration of drops made from Suwarna bhasma along with clarified butter (ghrit), honey (Madhu) in semi-liquid form by mouth, in Visham matra, alongwith some Medhya dravyas like Vacha, Bramhi, Shankhapushpi, Guduchi, Yashtimadhu, Ashwagandha, etc.
Acharya Kashyap (pioneer of Kaumarbhritya), described 16 essential Jatakarma Sanskaras, (ceremony conducted after birth for neonatal care) from them one of the most important is Swarnaprashan Sanskara which is Lehya & categorised under unique branch of Ayurveda i. e. Rasayana.
Swarnaprashan fulfills the first motive of ayurveda i.e. (preventive measures)–
प्रयोजनं चास्य स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं।[Charak Samhita Su. 30/26]
In such covid crisis, we can add Abhrak bhasma, mandur bhasma Or other drugs which helps to strengthen the respiratory system.Alongwith Suvarna prashan, one need to achieve factors like proper diet, exercise & sound sleep to raise immunity . This combo will lead to “Dugdha-Sharkara” Yog. (Wonderful combo)
🌀Mechanism of action
Maximum ingredients of swarnaprashan are Madhura, Tikta, Kashaya rasa predominant, Sheeta Veerya, Madhura Vipak.In general drugs having Deepaniya, Brimhana, Balya, Rasayana and Medhya action. Specific action of these ingredients is Rasayana and Medhya which in-turn may help to attain growth & development in a significant manner.
✨ The role of medhya dravya is in brain growth, which is very rapid in the first two years of life. Administration of medhya dravyas during this period of rapid growth of brain produces high quality neurons, so that the child will have excellent cognitive levels in the future.
✨Medicated ghrita- crosses blood brain barrier due to its lipophilic nature, hence, ghee is the most suitable form of medication to increase memory and neurostimulant effect.
✨Swarna- with immune system is well established by the research works.Gold nanoparcticles are attributed for it’s immunostimulant, rejuvenating & antioxidant properties.
✨Madhu – well known for it’s Antigenic & drug delivery property.In all it helps to increase the yuktikrita bala which will tone up body’s immune cells & decrease the oxidative injury by arresting the process of decaying. That all in turn helps in maintaining a healthy state.
🌀 Benifits–
💫 Powerful immunity booster for overall development of child
💫 Protection from seasonal allergies like cough, cold, fever, tonsillitis, etc.
-⏩Administration of this preparation dropwise, early in the morning daily for 6months or atleast once in a month on a day of Pushya-Nakshatra from birth to 16yrs is generally advised.
⏩The continued one month use of swarnprashana reduced different respiratory symptom.
⏩In a nut-shell, it’s best health care in children, specailly in toddlers (1 to 2years)
⏩Growth and development begins at conception and ends at maturity. Early childhood is a time of tremendous growth and development. With their first steps, babies become toddlers-the word describing the characteristic way they spread their legs and toddle from side to side. As the toddlers fall between the fully dependent infants and the relatively independent pre-schoolers, it is a transition period from complete dependence to relative independence. When compared with first year of life, a decreased growth rate is seen in this period. It is the age group, were parents expresses concern about poor intake as a result, growth becomes slower, so health is an area of concern in this age group of children.In order to help our children grow anddevelop to the best of their potential in life, regular monitoring is very important.
💮In such condition, it should be the 1st step taken by all parents to make child ready for schools & ensure their future.
Few days back, I had some departmental presentation at hospital, on a very emerging topic, for which today I want to share about.
Give a look at some questions regarding:
☑ Are u suffering from, irregular menses?
☑ Have u noticed, excessive hair growth specially on face, neck, chest, back ?
☑ Have u experienced, more efforts in losing weight?
☑ Do u have acne prone skin?
☑ Are u suffering from anxiety, mood swings, fatigue more than usual?
☑ Are u suffering from thinning & loss of hair?
Out of 6, if you answered yes more than 4 times , then you might have need to read this👇
So, my topic was,
“PCOD~ An emerging lifestyle disorder”
What exactly PCOD does mean?
It’s polycystic ovarian disorder also known as ” Stein Leventhal” syndrome”.
It’s is endocrine disorder, which mainly affects woman of reproductive age grp (i.e. 13 to 45 yrs approx)
In this, ovaries build up numerous follicles but is not capable of releasing eggs due to multiple cysts in the ovaries.
This mainly caused due to overproduction of androgens( i. e. Male hormones)
As many of you had heard about hormonal imbalance,,, right!
Our hormones manage various processes in the body, when this hormones get imbalanced , the rest of the body also get imbalanced. This imbalance is the measurable key factor in treating such lifestyle disorders.
🌻Ayurveda is sophisticated & powerful mind-body health system, that originated in India🇮🇳 & has been refined over thousands of years to help people restore the optimal health.
Ayurvedic medicine believes that, 3 doshas (forces of energy) Vaat, Pitta & Kapha circulate in our body & regulate important bodily functions.
When this 3 doshas are in harmony, body is healthy but any imbalance lead to disease & health issues including- issues with fertility, menstrual disorders, PCOS, etc.
🔰 PCOD occur due to Kapha blocking vaat & pitta hence movement is obstructed
& transformation process get suppressed.
🔰Diminision of agni (digestive fire) also can be considered as a pathological factor here.
🔰Commonly ,Dhatus which are affected in this:
1. Rasa (lymph & plasma)
2. Meda (adipose tissue)
3. Aartav (female reproductive system)
To treat PCOD, Ayurveda focuses on bringing back balance of doshas particularly Kapha & Vaat through a combination of-
🍎Diet
🤸♂️Exercise
🧘♂️Meditation
😊Lifestyle modification
💊Ayurvedic medications &
🔮Detoxification (Panchakarma )
🔰It basically focus on
-balancing hormones
-boosting metabolism
-restoring fertility.
If one is suffering from PCOD, it increases the risk of fatal diseases like
-stroke
-heart disease
-diabetes
-abnormal uterine bleeding
-endometrial cancer
-sleep apnea, etc.
It gets hard to conceive, but if u r able to become pregnant then will be at risk of handling some difficulties during pregnancy, labor & delivery.
Above half of patient experience improvement in the PCOD symptoms after losing weight. So, lifestyle modification is a key factor we should focus on. I feel glad Ayurveda always focuses on lifestyle modification to be healthy.
Well, there are lot of people around us except medicos who dnt have an idea about PCOD , how to get diagnosed & get treated in its earlier stage. So,I need your help in spreading awareness regarding such diseases & issues that are common.
💫To do your part do share this post to your social circle.
I know very few will resonate with idea of Ayurveda, but I’m firm believer that knowledge has power & understanding our bodies on different levels can only bring us more answers.
So, girls if you have any alarming ⏰symptoms & related queries, then you can DM me 📲.
Stay tuned for more updates regarding lifestyle modification through Ayurveda 💖
