What is Alpha Lipoic Acid
& What Can You Use it For?
 
You’re probably thinking why would an Ayurvedic physician write in an Ayurvedic newsletter about alpha lipoic acid, especially when everyone else is writing about the health benefits of the typical Ayurvedic herbs, such as Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and numerous others. We should be extolling the virtues of Ayurvedic detox and the wonders of panchakarma. Or perhaps the importance of Dinacharya in balancing the three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
 
But Alpha Lipoic Acid? Was this mentioned in the ancient texts? Perhaps not, but those ancient doctors were wise enough to state in their textbooks that they wouldn’t be able to foresee what would happen in the future, but that in fact they would leave the textbooks open for future doctors to come in and write the updates for modern times.
 
And that is just what Vaidya, genius that he was, did. He was able to adhere to the strict standards of the ancient texts while adapting those principles to what was needed in the physiology of the modern patient.
 
So let’s look at why Vaidya was enthralled with the health benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and why he wanted to make it available to all of his doctors and patients. 
 
What is ALA?
Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is found in many foods and is made in our bodies as well. If you recall, antioxidants quench free radicals, or compounds that form from toxins as they enter our bodies wreaking havoc causing numerous diseases. Luckily the antioxidants come to the rescue breaking down the free radicals, before they can harm us. 
 
Vitamin C and Vitamin E are antioxidants and ALA can actually recycle them once they are used up, breathing new life into them, so they can continue clearing the body of the deadly free radicals. It can even recycle glutathione (our body’s antioxidant) and Coenzyme Q10.
 
What is it Good For?
Some studies have suggested that ALA may enhance the body’s ability to use its own insulin to lower blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. It has been used for years in Europe in treating certain types of nerve damage, especially in the neuropathy or nerve damage that can result from diabetes.
 
Since it is both fat and water soluble it can cross the blood-brain barrier and is one of the only supplements to do so. Because of this, it is used to treat numerous brain disorders, such as autism, ADHD, MS, Parkinson’s, dementia, Alzheimer’s and brain tumors.
 
It is THE best remedy for glaucoma and high intraocular pressure. In fact, this is one of the main reasons Vaidya developed this remedy. He had spoken to one of the country’s best ophthalmologists in Beverly Hills and asked him what he considered to be a good natural remedy for reducing eye pressure. The eye doctor told him ALA was by far the best remedy for this problem.
 
ALA has been used by holistic doctors here in the States for many years now, but most of these physicians are using the synthetic version. As you know, Ayurveda prides itself on using nutrients which are based in nature, grown in the fields, absorbing the vital life essence of the cosmic vibration, or pranic energy, from the sun and the moon. In fact, all the Ayurvedic herbs are processed so as to carefully keep this delicate life force intact.
 
We discourage our patients from taking synthetic nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, which are made in a lab and devoid of this health-promoting life energy. This is why these remedies, which while they may have an effect, will also be riddled with side effects and toxicity to the liver and kidneys as these unintelligent nutrients create confusion within our cells. This is because the pranic vibration of nature gives our cellular system the intelligence to do all their important functions. These synthetic “dumb and dead” versions of the real nutrients found in herbs, food and spices cause the numerous side effects we experience when taking them.
 
Natural vs Synthetic
Vaidya was very careful when he decided he wanted to make ALA — he found suppliers who made it from spinach and broccoli, the two foods containing the highest amounts of ALA. We are so lucky to have this version of ALA as the research now shows that the ALA made from food is 10 times more potent than its synthetic cousin.
 
ALA for Eye-health
First: he developed the ALA lotion to be used around the eyes, on the forehead, the eyebrows, temples (the locations of the eye’s marma points) and under the skull where the neck begins (the location of the brain’s marma points). Both the lotion or the ALA cream can be applied down the entire spine, on the wrists and the soles of the feet, which represent all the areas which would affect our nervous system. We have reduced intraocular eye pressure in many patients by the use of the ALA lotion over the past several years since Vaidya first released it.
 
We also use it in the autistic children and just about any other brain/nerve problem we see, as mentioned previously.
 
ALA Massage Oil
I recommend ALA oil to our patients and instruct them on how to do abhyanga, or oil massage, 2-3 times a week with this outstanding oil. Apply the oil over the whole body, leave it on 20 minutes, then wash it off. You may also leave it on if you prefer. If you are sensitive enough, you can feel the cells enlivening, almost as if they become energized with the increased production of antioxidants the ALA is promoting throughout the entire physiology.
 
I encourage you to try one of these products and see if your health benefits — even if you don’t have any of these health problems — it is always good to stay ahead of the curve and prevent disease from happening in the first place. ALA definitely can do that for you as it increases the levels of all of your body’s antioxidants — vitamin C, E, glutathione and CoEnzyme Q10.
 
Vaidya Mishra went above and beyond the standard and current Ayurvedic treatments, always interested in applying the latest research to the knowledge buried deep within the ancient texts.
 
And we are the beneficiaries of his groundbreaking technologies.

What’s the big deal about Vaidya’s Samadhi Marma ?!

testimonial #1: totally Blown Away”

I am totally Blown Away by the difference using the Samadhi set makes in my meditation. I put them on right before I sit down to meditate and I could actually see the light coming in and it went from a gold curtain kind of thing to rainbow colors at one point. My whole body literally feels like it’s filled with light and my stress points from work get activated for a few minutes and then clear out, it’s just incredible! I also felt the silent mind of meditation staying with me well into my post meditation activities. As it turned out, it lasted the whole day. A client I did Reiki on felt the bliss and relaxation when we worked together. 

I’m so happy and grateful to have this new support in my practice and life.

[…]

I’m also noticing today that as this is the third day that I have used it right before meditation my body is so dramatically pain-free from its usual stiffness and pain from my everyday massage work, it’s really quite amazing! I’m also noticing my spirits are brighter.

Namaste!

testimonial #2:

“AMAZING Samadhi Set

“I confess I approached the Samadhi Set with some doubt! I’ve been meditating for almost 30 years and I have a lovely full protocol. Did not really need to add anything. But I was intrigued when a friend invited me to try. And after a single application I am totally blown away!!!! The blissful experience of applying the roll-ons on the marma points in the palms was instantaneous – an experience of soft sweet settling down and softening of the heart accompanied by a silent peace in the mind. I just am literally shocked at how immediate this experience was – literally seconds. It takes a little longer to have a similar experience via meditation… And the aromas of these roll-ons – just incredible! It’s like being in a celestial garden – so uplifting and soothing. Vaidya Mishra – no words can describe what you have gifted us with! I look forward to exploring your other SVA formulations…

Saadar lak lak pranaams to you….

your new devotee,

Savitri M.”

Vaidya’s Best-sellingToxin-Free
Devi Incense

Aside from chemical toxicity, there is another very important reason why you want to chose only 100% pure aromas – only natural aromas contain the subtle prabhavas, special divine properties, of the herbs. The artificial aromas in most incenses today add toxicity to your environment and your body in the name of spiritual purification. Do you really want to breathe in toxins while you meditate? Choose to use an incense that will open your mind and heart to the divine without creating toxins for your body. In fact, this incense is designed specifically to detoxify the lungs with the herbs contained in it. Pushkarmool and Indian Sarsaparilla both help to detoxify the lungs. There is a whole chapter of Charak Samhita, the oldest textbook of Ayurveda, devoted to the therapeutic effects of herbal remedies delivered in smoke form.
Ingredients & their properties
this incense comes in loose moist powder form and is to be used on a burner (charcoal) as shown in the image above
Pushkarmool: strengthens and detoxifies the lungs
Frankincense Pearl: divine aroma which opens the heart lotus and helps to connect the individual consciousness to the universal consciousness—this frankincense is collected directly from the tree and is delivered to you with no alteration;
Indian Sarsaparilla:  purifies the lungs
Camphor: highly aromatic and purifying—we use only natural camphor – not synthetic
Lavender oil : calms the mind
Himalayan cedar oil: aromatic, divine tree which opens the heart and expands consciousness
Grapefruit oil: adds a subtle aroma
Mom’s Ghee: divine vibration of cow’s ghee coordinates all of the other ingredients and adds sattwa.
