HERBAL REMEDIES NEWSLETTER, Feb.2006Greetings,Welcome To Herbal Remedies,Dear friends and Visitors, Namaste, We have gone a long way, two months on this year. The winter is gone and we are enjoying the spring season. This is a great season of two months when weather is more favorable and we can enjoy outdoors with less clothes. But in most of the places the examination schedule of children would be hampering the merriment of even parents. We are very happy to be in your service one again. Thanks to you to opt for this Holistic Herbal Health Newsletter and to your visiting the website www.holistic-herbalist.com. As we have promised earlier, you will find the material in this newsletter as well as on this website, continuously refreshed, updated and more and more holistic and practically useful. Welcoming The Spring:The theme of the month is "Welcoming The Spring". We would be on our way to enjoy the fragrance of many of blossoming trees and begining of new leaves on the trees. Content Of Health Newsletter:We will have following items to share this month.
Promoting The Understanding Of Holistic Health:Things, substances and persons are holistic by nature. No one of us is imperfect or incomplete. The only matter is that we are not aware of our holistic nature. It is our approach, attitude and paradigm that sets that whether we are expressing and acting out of our holistic nature or just following our instincts and subconscious habits. And remember that this process is never sudden. It is a gradual unfolding of our understanding toward life and toward ourselves. The first thing to start to live holistic life is to be aware toward it. To be aware that we are holistic being. WE NEED TO EXPRESS IT AND NOT TO IMPORT IT FROM SOME BOOK OR TEACHER. It is just inside waiting to be exposed, waiting to be manifested. All the other things are mediators or catalysts - like prayer, meditation, teacher or guru. They can help us to move, to see. The actual journey should be covered by us. Best Of Luck. Good Preaching.... The Herbal Health Contest In Health Newsletter:The contest of this month is the questions related to Ritu Haritaki.

Last Month's Question In Health Newsletter:The Query: Do you feel that we might have three dimensional nature - The causal or ideational, the pranic or energy, the physical one? Do you feel that they are functioning in us? Please explain. There have been several answers received for this question. However the best answer belonged to Mrs Madhu from Andhra Pradesh, India. Her daughter was suffering from Eczema and she preferred to receive the ayurvedic prescription and email support in the coming months of treatment. Both of the facilities are given free of cost. Ok. Get well soon. So dear friends, Get ready for the answer to the above question. This Month's Question & Answers:Q: Mr. C. Shekhar from Washington. I am a 42 year old executive in the field of marketing. Recently I found my blood pressure going up for some time. The doctor advised me to reduce the salt intake. I would like to start Ritu Haritaki. Can I use terminalia chebula with salt despite being hypertensive? Answer: This form of terminalia chebula is designed for the long term use. It will silently detox the body and cleanse it with toxins and wastes over the months. Salt is used with terminalia chebula in rainy season. And that is still quite far. If you start to use terminalia chebula right now, it won't cause any trouble by that time. Further you can take rock salt along with it. Yes the quantity of salt should also be minimized - salt would be there to render the taste salty. Even you can use terminalia chebula in the form of extract. Both capsules and tablets are available. Taking T. chebula daily will help in normalizing or lowering the increased lipid or cholesterol in the blood. More info is available at www.holistic-herbalist.com/ritu-haritaki.html www.holistic-herbalist.com/terminalia-chebula.html Meet This Herb In Health Newsletter:Kava or Piper methysticum Kava or Piper methysticum is a wonderful herb. Typically speaking it is a western herb. This is the herb that is defamed more than it actually deserve. Its plus point is that it can relieve anxiety with the efficacy of modern drugs. Whenever there is need for relieving acute anxiety, kava should be used. Its minus point is that it has some side effects and drug interactions. That is why it is necessary to know how it should be taken. There are ample resources if you feel to know more about this herb. Know This Condition In Health Newsletter:Moderate Constipation: Last month we talked about mild constipation. This month we will discuss about moderate constipation. There is little difference to consider when we take modern drugs. But it makes a lot of difference - particularly in selecting the right herb - to ascertain the nature of bowel habits. According to Ayurveda, the bowel with moderate constipation responds well to simple purgatives as senna leaves, turpeth and other simple herbs. Whereas the severe constipation would not respond satisfactorily to these herbs. More drastic measures would be needed. Remember always! before taking any herbal supplements for the constipation, review your diet and lifestyle and then analyze your bowel condition. Only after that choose the right herb for that. Be Resourceful With:The Small-triad of Ayurvedic Books Yes, the set of three books are considered as the small triad that should be studied by all the Ayurvedists and herbalists. They are:
The smaller triad doesn't imply that these books are of less importance. The word small is used to pay regards to the authors of the large triad of ayurvedic books. These books are available in Sanskrit, Hindi and English. The Herbal Compound This Month:Triphala: Triphala literally means 'the three fruits'. It is the mixture of three myrobalan fruits. The three fruits are -
This herbal combination of equal parts of fruits of the three myrobalans is greatly used in Ayurveda. It has great metabolic property by balancing the catabolic and anabolic processes in the body. Haritaki regulates the expulsion of toxins and Vata. Amalaki provides the nutrition or maintains the body and Pitta. Vibhitaka is good for Blood and Kapha humor. Besides this is good for eyes, constipation and a rejuvenative formulation that can be used daily. Herbal Home Remedy:Fresh Ginger with Salt: Take a small piece of fresh ginger and a pinch of salt into your mouth 15 minutes before the meals. This simple home remedy works well in persons with dyspepsia or those who suffer from lack of appetite. This is great appetizer. The persons with hyperacidity or gastric or duodenal ulcers should not this preparation as ginger is hot in active principle. Health Via Kitchen:The Heavy & Light Quality Of Food: Whatever we eat comes under two categories - the light and heavy food. The light and heavy is relative terms. These are in relation to individual digestive power. We should be aware of our capacity to digest. The same food can be heavy to digest for the other person while the other can easily digest the same food. We can judge easily which food would be hard to digest by ourselves and which would be easier. We can adjust the QUANTITY of that food article in accordance with our ability to digest. By following this guideline, we can remain free of common abdominal troubles that often cause a lot of distress. New Additions In www.holistic-herbalist.comWe are trying to have some of the practically useful and some other inspiring articles that would prove to accelerate the momentum toward understanding the holistic nature. This is the month of herbal pictures>>> You can see many new pictures of Indian herbs that are used very commonly in Ayurveda.
