“Dry Itchy Winter Skin? – Take 2!” – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Feb 14, 2019, #5, Vol 9

February 15, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Why do we get dry itchy skin
in the winter?
Vaidya taught us well! He explained that even extreme harsh weather conditions can bring some gift for our physiology! No matter the season, it’s always a great time for health! No matter where one lives, perfect weather does not exist all the time everywhere, so we have to learn to make the most out of existing conditions. And it is possible to get great benefit for the skin and physiology out of any climactic condition – given proper self-care knowledge. Every season is beautiful and every season comes with its own gifts! 
When cold weather results in dryness of the skin, it is because the body is not able to support and hydrate the skin internally due to shrunk micro and macro channels. The lipid and water components of the skin get depleted as internal nourishment to the skin is slowed down and sometimes fully blocked. If, in addition to this, external weather conditions are excessively cold and windy, they also deplete and dry up the skin externally. So your skin becomes internally and externally starved for nourishment and lubrication. The best route, in this case is to opt for transdermal nutrients – since the internal pathways are blocked off, support can be more effectively given externally and transdermally! In this scenario, the skin is even more ready to absorb transdermally and get fully hydrated and rejuvenated. Here is a question from a reader that was once sent to Vaidya:
“ I tend to get very dry itchy rashes all over my body in the winter time. I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to help. Then I applied coconut oil, which is supposed to be very soothing and I got a bigger rash. What can I do? Why did the coconut oil cause a greater rash? Isn’t it supposed to be the best most soothing for a rash?” L-T – Illinois
Vaidya responded: In the wintertime, our physical channels shrink because of the cold. Coconut is not the remedy for this, because we know from Ayurveda, coconut is a “cold” or “shitala” fruit, full of soma. As a result, it freezes the molecules, “shitala” fruit. It is somagenic rather than agneya – it slows and cools down rather than ignites and activates. 
Whether you are vata, pitta, or kapha body type and are sensitive to cold weather, when you apply coconut oil on your body, you “freeze” your already shrunk channels further. Your circulatory channels become more clogged and, and the evacuation and movement of heat in the body, as well as toxins or “mala”s gets even further blocked, and even more accumulated in the skin. For those of us who have amavisha (reactive acidic toxic build-up) and/or garavisha (xenobiotic toxins created from too much exposure to EMF or industrial chemical fumes and preservatives, these virulent toxins get stuck and comes out as rash through the skin, and the coconut oil is not able to pacify them because they are stuck, the cooling property of the coconut freezes and blocks them further. And this is the unexpected result you get: even though you will apply dollops of coconut oil, or any other cooling somagenic oil, to soothe your rash and nourish your skin, you may notice it becomes more dry and itchier! 
So which oil is good to use to hydrate and lubricate the skin in the wintertime, or in cold weather? 
Vaidya put together the ideal formula for extreme weather conditions: the SVA Vata Oil with Magnesium and Vit D. If you have extreme dry skin, you should do self-massage or abhyanga with this oil once a day after warming it with hot water in your sink to a comfortable temperature. If you have medium to dry skin, then you can do abhyanga massage every other day with this oil. Finally, if your skin tends to be less dry or not dry at all, then you can just do abhyanga once a week. 
This Vata oil has a base of organic sesame and grapeseed oils. Unlike coconut oil, sesame and grapeseed oil do not carry a somagenic “freezing” property. In fact, they are known in Ayurveda to have essential thermogenic properties which are known to enhance circulation by unclogging the pores of the skin. These oils are usually used as a base with essential nutrients and minerals in order to deliver nurturing herbs to the skin and the body through transdermal absorption. That’s why the SVA Vata Massage oil carries traces of Magnesium and Vit D3 – essential ingredients we are all somewhat deficient in, in this day and age. You will see how your skin will drink up the oil when you warm it up and apply it on your body, without leaving a greasy residue. The oil is also formulated to calm your nervous system and mind, it is a Vata dosha pacifying oil that will bring in more bliss and relaxation as it lubricates you inside out. Please do not worry about “I am this body type or that body type should I use Vata massage oil or not” because in the wintertime we all get vata aggravated and regardless of your body type you can get benefit from this Vata oil with Vit D and Magnesium, specially in cold winter weather! 
If after using this oil regularly, you still experience dryness in your skin, it means you need more internal unctuousness through your diet. Find out more about the best winter diet and tips. Read our SVA Winter booklet for quick and easy recipes and tips.

Pre & Pro- Biotics Inside Out with Dr T – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Feb 7, 2019, #4, Vol 9

February 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment

PRE & PROBIOTICS
Inside and Out for Total Health
SV Ayurveda has always been aware of the fact that the gut is loaded with little “yoginis,” the term Vaidya’s father used to refer to the friendly bacteria. These friendly bacteria are the foundation of our health, as they stabilize the immune system, preventing it from losing its intelligence and attacking food or even worse – attacking the body and resulting in auto-immune conditions. This is why many people develop autoimmune diseases as their immune system spirals out of control. This is particularly the case if they have a history of taking birth control pills, extended use of antibiotics, immunizations, or other pharmaceuticals.  
We also now know that roughly 90% of the neurotransmitters for the brain are made in the gut. This is also why many children are extremely hyperactive nowadays, as many of them have never had the opportunity to grow the necessary colonies of friendly bacteria in their gut due to their incessant exposure to these various pharmaceuticals in their early childhood years, at a time crucial for their development.
The friendly bacteria also help the digestion of food, breaking it down into smaller and smaller particles, for proper assimilation into the cells. Studies performed on rats whose bowel flora were destroyed had to eat 30% more food in order to stay alive. Thus, when our gut flora is disturbed we can become weak as we are no longer able to absorb nutrients optimally.
Every breath we take has infection in it — viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. Our friendly bacteria are the first line of defense, dismantling these harmful substances so that we don’t pick up every infection that is going around. When these delicate flora are depleted, it is easy to pick up colds and flus, and we will find that it takes longer to overcome them. Plus, we can develop infections in the throat, such as strep, or in the stomach, such as H. Pylori, or small intestine (SIBO), or candida albicans overgrowth in the intestines. 
There are also friendly bacteria in the bladder and vaginal tract, preventing bladder infections and other infections, such as human papilloma virus (HPV). Ironically, the shot they recommend for preventing HPV (known as the gardasil shot) destroys the friendly bacteria, making it easy to get this virus. Many of our patients who have a history of taking the birth control pill will find that later in life they will easily develop HPV, as the birth control pill depletes the friendly bacteria in the vaginal canal.
And many people will develop bladder infections (UTI’s) once their friendly bacteria are missing, usually from previous antibiotic use. We have helped hundreds of women slowly break the cycle of repeated UTI’s and antibiotic use, just by regrowing the friendly bacteria in the bladder and gut.
If you have been keeping up with our newsletters, you probably know all about the bowel floras’ function in preventing disease.
However, what many people may not be aware of is that the skin also harbors friendly bacteria for the same reason. Our skin is loaded without thousands of pathogens that could otherwise do us harm or cause infection. Luckily our skin’s probiotic cultures prevent infections from taking hold.
However, if very hot/acidic toxins, such as ama visha (from improper digestion of food — see previous articles) and gar visha (man-made environmental toxins — pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, air pollution and other chemicals) are exiting through the skin, they can destroy these delicate flora residing there, causing infection to take hold easily. Always remember that the skin is an organ of elimination, dumping toxins through the pores all day, every day. In this modern era people are exposed to many environmental toxins, burning the flora, then infection sets in.
I see many people with fungal infections, MRSA and other staph infections, who are given both antibiotic creams and oral antibiotics for these infections who fail to gain relief.  
While fresh home-made yoghurt is your best source of friendly bacteria, sometimes, for many different reasons, it is not possible to have it. Vaidya used to recommend supplementing with capsules. Natasha Trenev, owner of Protren probiotic company has stated that “Probiotics are to the 21st century what antibiotics were to the 20th.” She is absolutely correct! I have found that by treating the body internally with probiotics, many of these gut infections disappear fairly rapidly.  
The same is true of skin conditions. When you see infections on the skin, first think of replenishing the friendly bacteria instead of reflexively resorting to antibiotic use (unless it has developed to the point where it is life-threatening). We are so fortunate in that Vaidya was one of the first in the world to develop Prebiotic and Probiotic creams for the skin to do just that. 

The first step you have to take is to have the person stop taking the toxins in — they must change their diet in the ways we have described in previous newsletters, drink alkaline water, keep the digestive system alkaline by promoting proper bile flow and cooling down the heat in the liver. If the liver and blood are cool and alkaline, the toxins coming through the skin will cool down.
You also want to cool down the liver, using bhumi amla, DGL cream, liver clay. Next stop the reactivity of the toxins coming through the skin using manjistha drops or powder. Use coriander drops in water or a dilute coriander tea to direct the toxins away from the skin and into the urine. Rose petals in the tea and/or rose petal jam is also recommended because of their pitta-reducing activity. Neem (drops and/or powder) and zinc bhasma may also be used to address infections on the skin.
This patient depicted in these two photos had tried numerous rounds of antibiotics and steroids. Next she saw a holistically-oriented doctor who put her on milk thistle, turmeric, B vitamins, Vitamin C, zinc, L-glutathione and many other vitamins, unwittingly heating up her liver and blood more. This created a severe worsening of her eczema, erupting it into highly infected sores which caused the skin to break open and weep. She was in dire straits. This is when she presented to our clinic, after all else had failed.
I had her stop all the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, changed her diet, put her on the herbs prescribed above, and once the skin was able to handle creams we recommended she use the Prebiotic and Probiotic Creams, as well as the Turmeric-Magnesium Oil for a daily oil massage. 
Her skin responded quickly, for which she was so grateful.
I see hundreds of patients whose skin is erupting with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, itching, weeping, and those with recurrent bouts of MRSA, all being treated incorrectly and not gaining any relief. I especially see people who are on statin drugs who have developed chronic and intense rashes and itching as these toxic drugs are dumped out through the sweat pores.
It is truly wonderful to help them regain the health of their skin and stop the repeated rounds of steroids and antibiotics as they cool and clean the liver, the blood, stop the unnecessary pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and learn how to cleanse in a way that keeps the liver cool.
We are continually grateful to Vaidya Mishra, who developed these ingenious remedies to help these tortured patients regain the normal function of the skin easily and quickly.

Warm up Your Winter! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Jan 24, 2019, #2, Vol 9

January 25, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Did you know that cold weather not only gives you dry, itchy, flaky skin, but it actually ages your skin by depleting its friendly bacteria?
With seasonal changes, our doshic imbalances shift to reflect the new temperature conditions. For our skin, this can wreak havoc in doshic terms because vyana vata, bhrajak pitta, and shleshak kapha all go off creating dry itchy flaky skin that is hard to remedy. 
But we’ve learnt with Vaidya that even extreme harsh weather conditions can bring some gift for our physiology! No matter the season, it’s always a great time for health! No matter where one lives, perfect weather does not exist all the time everywhere, so we have to learn to make the most out of existing conditions. And it is possible to get great benefit for the skin and physiology out of any climactic condition – given proper self-care knowledge. Every season is beautiful and every season comes with its own gifts! When cold weather results in dryness of the skin, it is because the body is not able to support and hydrate the skin internally due to shrunk micro and macro channels. The lipid and water components of the skin get depleted as internal nourishment to the skin is slowed down and sometimes fully blocked. If, in addition to this, external weather conditions are excessively cold and windy, they also deplete and dry up the skin externally. So your skin becomes internally and externally starved for nourishment and lubrication. The best route, in this case is to opt for transdermal nutrients – since the internal pathways are blocked off, support can be more effectively given externally and transdermally! In this scenario, the skin is even more ready to absorb transdermally and get fully hydrated and rejuvenated. 
So what actually happens to the skin, in doshic terms, in the wintertime? Here is how Vaidya explained it. 
Vata Goes Way Further Off with Dryness…
 Vyana vata gets aggravated in the winter time due to 2 reasons:
  1. our physical circulatory channels shrink due to the cold weather, and end up getting blocked. When they get blocked, moisture and the shleshak kapha in our cells is unable to move. When shleshak kapha is not free to circulate it cannot complete its task of lubricating the body and dryness results; 
  2. drying cold wind creates even more dryness externally, killing the friendly bacteria that live in the skin, further depleting our skin, and bringing about premature wrinkling and sagging.
It’s ideal to use creams or lotions or oils that carry aromatic channel opening essential oils, such as: Peppermint; Camphor; Ajwain; Sage; Rosemary. These help dilate the circulatory channels, so the Shleshaka can move freely through. Vaidya always prepared these herbs in his ancestral SVA methods to yield herbal synergies that would deeply moisturize the body from within, as they relaxed and detoxed the clogged channels. Open channels and intelligently infused herbal ingredients help keep vyana vata in check. 
Pitta People Get Even More Hot!
Bhrajak pitta gets aggraveted in the cold weather, particularly for pitta type predominant people, because the circulation of heat in the body also gets obstructed due to the shrunk channels. Due to the blocked and poor circulation, their skin becomes more sensitive to the sun. This is further aggravated by the lack of the lubricating factor – shleshak kapha – which is also slowed down or blocked due to poor circulation. Using ingredients such as those in the tridoshic lotion, for example lemongrass, help reduce photosensitivity and nurture pitta sensitive skin. In addition, the Aloe and Vegetable glycerin in the lotion, along with the Neem, all 3 together, help pacify and nourish bhrajak pitta. 
Kapha Gets Heavier and More Clogged Up!
Shleshak kapha gets blocked and accumulated due to shrunk channels. In order to be balanced, it needs plants and herbs with agneya, or warming, prabhava or ultimate action. Vaidya used herbs such as Holy Basil, whose mildly warming properties, along with Peppermint, Rosemary, Calendula, and Citronella, relax our channels to let the shleshak kapha flow through and moisturize and lubricate our channels.
The overall, in-depth cellular nurturing effect and efficacy of Vaidya’s tridoshic massage oils and lotions helps even further with long term use. The benefits of the herbs get absorbed readily transdermally into your skin, traveling deep into your cells, and retain there, supplying moisture and hydration leaving you with a supple smooth skin. Regular use of the massage oils first thing in the morning, even if for a quick few minutes, will also help support the immune system of your skin, nourishing all the friendly bacteria by supplying them with prebiotic, specially when you apply the tridoshic lotion that contains Aloe and Vegetable glycerin that supports their growth. In addition, many of the essential oils used in the formulas have scientific research showing their anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, which makes the oils and the Tridoshic lotion great to use on your feet, to help prevent local fungal infections, as well as keep your hands sanitized when you are out and about in the world during this year’s intense “flu season!”

Auspicious Beginnings! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Jan 17, 2019, #1, Vol 9

January 18, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Happy New Year! 
Did you know that – as per the Vedic calendar – January 14th is the actual new year day? Dedicated to the Sun God – Surya, it marks the beginning of longer days resulting from the sun’s transit into the sign of Capricorn or Makara Sankranthi. This festival is a solar event, concluding the sun’s southward journey (Dakshinayana). It marks the beginning of a six month auspicious period. Vaidya explained that when the sun is in the southern hemisphere it is more detoxifying, and when it moves to the northern hemisphere is is more nourishing and nurturing. Thus this transition of the sun from the southern to the northern hemisphere marks a more “nurturing” phase of the sun’s relationship to the earth and our bodies. Makara Sankranti is an important pan-Indian festival celebrated with regional variations. People travel to dip into holy rivers, such as the Ganga, the Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna or Kaveri. Bathing in a sacred river, conducting rituals, offering prayers to the sun, are traditional cultural practices all over India. This is a great day to initiate new ventures and projects. Here’s to new auspicious beginnings!

About Irina Petrova
Irina left her natal Ukraine in the mid 1980s, leaving behind a beautiful childhood and home nestled in a quiet orchard with berry bushes and countless patches of fresh fruits and vegetables, surrounded by green forests, clean rivers, and endless fields and meadows of wild grass and flowers. In this pristine environment, she developed a great love for Nature’s restorative powers. Trained as a classical musician from a young age, her love for beauty, aesthetics, and the healing power of Nature and plants found deeper fulfillment through Ayurveda. Before embarking upon her ayurvedic journey full-time, Irina taught classical piano and ran a successful real estate career. She holds a Master’s degree in Ayurveda from MUM (Fairfield, Iowa) 2001. In addition, she has studied SV Ayurveda with Vaidya Ramakant Mishra. She also recently completed an advanced esthetician’s course at the Santa Barbara Cosmetology Academy and received her esthetician’s license in 2017. She is certified in Vaidya Mishra’s Blissful Beauty Marma Facial System, as well as advanced SVA Marma protocols.

ABOUT PURNIMA
“I see clients from all over Canada- from Halifax to Vancouver!! I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to Vaidya Mishra for this divine SVA knowledge. 
I am the current Manitoba Chair for Ayurveda Association of Canada. I was in Toronto last month and met with some graduating students from the Canadian College of Ayurveda. One of my jobs as the chair and AAC Standards, Practice & Ethics Committee board member is to help new graduates establish their Ayurvedic practice. Although I have trained in many schools, my practice is mostly SVA based. I receive numerous testimonials from clients for different SVA treatments, protocols, and the formulations. I wanted to share this latest testimonial. This client saw a remarkable difference in her health with some transdermal marma treatment and some herbal nectars. She suffered from sever constipation and we addressed that as well.”

Hair Loss in Children – with Dr Teitelbaum; Update and Pics from SVA Events; and more! your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Dec 13, 2018, # 48, Vol 8

December 14, 2018 by Leave a Comment

HAIR LOSS IN CHILDREN :
A Case Study with Dr Teitelbaum
We would need to conduct thorough studies to determine why so many children are losing their hair nowadays. But in my clinic the most common repeated root cause I encounter entails the body’s autoimmune reaction where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Once the thyroid gland is weakened by these constant attacks, it loses its full functionality and the hormonal output from the thyroid decreases. There is also a preponderance of autoimmune conditions of the thyroid gland itself, mostly Hashimoto’s.
In the same way, there is no good explanation for the huge increase in the amount of Hashimoto’s disease. It has been steadily increasing since the 1950’s making it one of the most common autoimmune diseases and the most common hormonal disorder seen today.
Some people say it is genetic, however that cannot be verified due to the rapid increase in the number of people who have been diagnosed with this disease within the last several decades. 
In either case, whether one has hypothyroid or Hashimoto’s, mainstream medicine will give thyroid hormone supplementation so that the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood work normalize, but the person continues to be symptomatic, or in this particular case I am presenting, bald.
Doctors then inject the scalp with steroids which is the main treatment for baldness today. The treatment for these ailments is the same for everyone: doctors are trained in medical school to follow specific treatment protocols for the specific diseases/sympotms they identify.
This approach, however, does not take into account the underlying reasons each individual patient is experiencing. Ayurveda has always discussed figuring out the hetu or underlying reason for the physiology before attempting to provide a treatment protocol. And, as I usually write in almost every one of these case histories, it is true in every case we see. And virtually every case of any disease you can think of has to be treated individually, tailored to that patient’s unique set of problems creating that disease.  
In order to keep perspective on all this, whatever you or your patient has been diagnosed with, whatever the a “cookbook approach”!
Fortunately, Ayurveda provides us with an invaluable tool in each of these cases: the art of pulse diagnosis. In the pulse you can find the imbalance, which is often far removed from where the symptom is occurring.  
I have treated many cases of baldness in children. I’m sure there are many underlying causes, but it is very common, as in this boy’s case in this article, to see heavy metals disrupting the thyroid gland function, causing the hair to fall out. 
In some of these cases the thyroid hormones will be normal on blood work. But it doesn’t mean that the thyroid is OK — I have numerous discussions in my upcoming thyroid book, “Healing the Thyroid With Ayurveda,” so I will not go into detail here.
And in some cases the thyroid hormones will be low. When they are low and the doctors give the thyroid hormones the hair still does not grow back because the reason for the thyroid malfunction has not been addressed, namely the heavy metals.
In fact, I have taken numerous children off their thyroid hormone, figured out what was causing the imbalance, treated that, and miraculously the hair grew back, even without the thyroid hormone. 
In the case of this boy, and many many children I am seeing with weak thyroid gland and either the hair is falling or they have totally become bald, I find heavy metals. The most common metal we find is aluminum, which comes from their 73 immunizations. In a smaller percentage of the cases there is fluoride disrupting the thyroid. In years past mercury was seen depressing the thyroid gland, but now that they have taken the mercury out of most of the immunizations we are seeing mainly aluminum, which doesn’t really matter, because both are serious toxins which disrupt the brain and thyroid gland (and many other areas).
It turns out, because the thyroid gland is programmed to absorb iodine, it gets confused and absorbs whatever heavy metals come into the body, as they are similar in structure to iodine.
You can actually feel this very easily in someone’s pulse: you can feel a very heavy dead weight, almost metallic feel over udana. Sometimes it is throughout the pulse and sometimes you can feel it in ranjaka pitta, as the liver also absorbs these heavy metals.
The most common source of mercury nowadays is in the flu shots; aluminum is found in the majority of children’s immunizations and fluoride is found throughout much of the tap water in America.
In this boy’s case, he was overloaded with aluminum. I am currently treating several people right now who have overdosed in fluoride by drinking untreated tap water. Fluoride was used in the 1930’s to treat an overactive thyroid, but it was so poisonous to the thyroid gland that it totally destroyed it, so they had to discontinue its use. Then they started putting it in our tap water to prevent dental caries. Some people think this might at explain at least part of the reason for such a huge increase of the amount of autoimmune thyroid occurring nowadays. I would have to agree with this.
First, when you see heavy metals, you have to chelate out the metal using Rasa Sodhaka drops or cream. You can also instruct the patient to eat cilantro, which is a great chelator of heavy metals. However, just eat a tablespoon or two a day. Don’t go overboard as you could create a detox crisis.
Then, you have to support the thyroid gland — in this boy’s case we used “Shakti for Him” Drops, Ashwagandha Cream, Magnesium Cream and Vitamin D Cream.
We also used “Actifoll oil” on his scalp everyday for months to activate his hair follicles to start growing hair again. In these few pictures, you can see that his hair has started to grow back. I will give updated pictures as the months go by.
I have so many cases of Hashimoto’s I am seeing right now, with or without hair loss, and in many of these cases they are presenting with heavy metals stuck on the thyroid gland. I usually find too much mercury in the adults who get flu shots every year as the mercury hasn’t been removed in most of the flu shots yet.
We are so fortunate to have solutions to many of the current diseases for which mainstream medicine has no answer. We can thank Vaidya Mishra for totally revamping Ayurveda for this modern era, based on what he saw in the pulses of people living in developed countries, suffering from the dangerous toxins we allow in our pharmaceuticals, air, soil and water.

ABOUT PURNIMA
“I see clients from all over Canada- from Halifax to Vancouver!! I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to Vaidya Mishra for this divine SVA knowledge. 
I am the current Manitoba Chair for Ayurveda Association of Canada. I was in Toronto last month and met with some graduating students from the Canadian College of Ayurveda. One of my jobs as the chair and AAC Standards, Practice & Ethics Committee board member is to help new graduates establish their Ayurvedic practice. Although I have trained in many schools, my practice is mostly SVA based. I receive numerous testimonials from clients for different SVA treatments, protocols, and the formulations. I wanted to share this latest testimonial. This client saw a remarkable difference in her health with some transdermal marma treatment and some herbal nectars. She suffered from sever constipation and we addressed that as well.”

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.”

Ojas for Emotional & Mental Balance – with Bonita; Update on SVA Marma Course with Irina; your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Dec 6, 2018, # 47, Vol 8

December 7, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Ojas in Relation to Emotional Bliss and Mental Balance 
(part 2 of a 3 part article)
By Bonita Carol
Certified SVA Expert and Licensed Psychology Counselor
In the first installment of my article we discussed the notion of “pragyaparadh” – an experience of seeing life in fragments, appearing separate from the wholeness and source of life as the cause of suffering. In addition, feeling attached to any type of changing relative experience whether it’s being happy, healthy, or clear. Happiness is also a changing relative experience - it comes into our experience and then slips away.  Vedic scriptures say “Knowledge is the greatest purifyer” (Bhagavad Gita, chapter 4). Studying Ayurveda itself is considered part of the protocol for feeling more balanced and healthy in life. Understanding and experiencing the non-changing wholeness which is our core nature is a potent path to greater feelings of peace even admist the chaos of human life. The non changing transcendental level of being as the backdrop to all events, all moods, feelings, and experiences. It does not mean that you will always feel happy once you realize this Being because feelings are not static. Even when one has grief, pain, illness, if the knowledge and experience of the eternal part of beingness is there, we can experience peace. Pure consciousness is devoid of qualities, yet if forms the basis of all qualities.
Effect of Over or Under Use of the Five Senses on Mental Health
Modern culture continually bombards all five senses with outer stimuli, such as: air and noise pollution; indoor florescent lighting; incoming advertising; daily driving; overworking; overeating; and mindless entertainment via technology devices such as the internet, cell phone and television. In addition, many people who live in large cities are no longer connected to the natural world and do not have access to nature, whether through gardening, walking in forests, looking at the stars at night, walking barefoot on sand, visually looking at a distant horizon, or swimming in natural waterways. In the larger cities one cannot see the stars in the night sky due to the city lights. 
From an Ayurvedic perspective, not only do the senses become over-stimulated creating excess vata, but also the individual becomes out of sync with the natural rhythms and cycles of the body, the natural environment, and cosmos. I believe that this lack of physical perception and experience of nature, can lead to a myopic visual orientation and promote limitation in one’s thinking, leading to depression, black-and-white thinking, and a lack of problem-solving abilities, leading to anxiety and depression. An Ayurvedic protocol would be for the client to observe the sunrise or the sunset to connect him with the rhythms of nature. Take breaks from computer work every few hours with a walk near trees and nature, without the cell phone. Perhaps joining a gardening coop, swimming in natural lakes and rivers, or walking outside on a forest trail. 
As an Ayurvedic practitioner and therapist that used to live in Silicon Valley, I have seen the mental and physical damage from individual overworking 60 plus hours on the computer. I remember Vaidya sharing his experiences as well and explaining how “ojas” gets burned from over exposure to EMF radiation and overwork. This is one of the benefits of doing his Transdermal Marma protocol as it helps to lubricate the dried out channels or nadis that carry prana throughout the system.
The Effect of Physical Toxins on Mental Health
Toxins, or ama, form a sticky substance that blocks tissues and bodily channels, disturbing ojas and digestion. In addition to physical ama, there is a type of “mental ama” or mental toxicity that disturbs the mind and can results in excessive anger, fear, self-criticism, greed, or resentment. Undue stress due to intense relational problems, tension at work, loss due to death, divorce, or financial problems can contribute to the creation of ama if the individual lacks resiliency or ojas. Exposure to negativity, violence, and shocking sensory stimuli whether in real life or media increase vata. Ayurveda can assist in reducing depression, anxiety, and memory problems by helping the client eliminate these toxins through Ayurvedic detoxification therapies, diet, and herbal medicines. 
Ojas and it’s role in Well Being and Emotional Balance
The ancient Ayurvedic medical textbooks describe a physical compound produced from good functioning digestion of high quality food as Ojas. Vaidya Mishra explained that Ojas is the connecting factor between universal intelligence and inner intelligence. When ojas gets low in the body, depression symptoms gets high. “In simple words, ojas is the will to live life and when the desire of living is exhausted it’s called as depression” (Hirpara, K. 2016, p. 3). Ojas, according to Vaidya Mishra is a neurotransmitter that is enhanced by consuming healthy fats such as clarified butter called ghee, fresh fruits, olive oil and pure water. Emotionally, ojas is enhanced through loving relationships, sleeping well, laughter, cultivating patience, compassion, and living a sattvic life. (Teitlebaum, M., 2009, p. 205). 
     One of the most important factors responsible for the cause of both physical and mental health issues is low ojas. The strength of ojas is directly proportional to a person’s resistance to dysfunction or disease. Just as in the body, the quality ojas cultivates strength and stability in the mind. “The role of ojas is to stabilize the mind. It allows the mind to resist stress and protects it from faulty impressions that enter through the bodily senses and the external world” (Tabb, K., para 9). When ojas is healthy it helps one feel confident and grounded and allows for feelings of contentment and peace. It is ojas that protects against feelings of depression and fatigue (Tabb, para. 9). Ojas can be observed on the skin as radiance, healthy glow in the eyes, voice and behavior.
    Depletion of Ojas Effect on Emotional Balance
Ojas is depleted or weakened by excessive alcohol, fever, excess ejaculation, overwork, fasting, excessive exercise, anger, poor sleep habits, chronic pain, recreational substances, excessive travel and aging as well as exposure to environmental toxins.
  As a therapist trained in Ayurveda, it is important that the therapist be alert to the signs that indicate low ojas in order to create a treatment plan. Usually when there is depression, anxiety or other types of physical disease, ojas will be low. The goal in an integrative approach is to increase ojas and eliminate ama and make available stress reducing therapies , meditation, herbal protocols, change of diet, behavior modification and Ayurvedic treatments as recommended. Often there is a connection between the level of sattva and ojas, meaning that sattvic (calm) lifestyle can help to increase the level of ojas, and low ojas is be connected to activity that is kapha or tamasic (destructive or stagnant) in nature  The three energies that govern the mind, and living beings are the three gunas–sattwa, rajas, and tamas. By knowing these impulses that govern the mind, the therapist can better understand the nature of the client undergoing therapy and create the treatment plan. 
Ojas is one of many things that can be felt in the pulse.  Once, I had taken the pulse of a young man and received a strong image of him cursing and swearing as well as having depleated ojas. He was surprised how I could detect swearing in his pulse and he revealed that he was trying to over come a life threatening illness.  The cursing, he said, had been a life long type of defense, with every other sentence cursing since he was 11 or 12 years old.  This negativity had gone deep into the vibrational channels of the body, the swear words could be detected within the nadis.   His protocol was to start blessing instead of cursing and also do Transdermal SVA Marma. Vaidya recited the Heart Lotus mantra daily and encouraged us to learn it as well.  There are two type of Ojas, one that you are born with and the other where levels increase and decrease.  Ojas is born in the heart and so the heart mantra which helps to open the heart petals and allow us to have a strong mind is a great technique to increase our ojas and immunity.

Acne: Can SVA Help? A Video plus article with Dr Teitelbaum; SVA Marma Course & Get-away Calendar; your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Nov 29, 2018, # 46, Vol 8

November 30, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Can SVA Help with Chronic Acne?
ACNE: A Case History 
We should always resist the temptation to treat the symptom! This is especially true in treating any skin disease, including acne. Our immediate impulse is to use skin formulations applied locally to control and eliminate the acne; however, the underlying problems causing the skin conditions are actually not rooted in the skin, but much deeper in one’s physiology. So let’s back up a bit as we work our way to the source(s) of the problem. 
The skin is an organ of elimination, evacuating toxins through the pores throughout the day. If you recall, there are four types of toxins: ama (from partially digested food clogging the channel), ama visha (an acidic/hot toxin formed when the ama rots and ferments), garavisha (environmental toxins outside of the body), and finally: electromagnetic toxins. 
The two very “hot” toxins we are concerned with here are ama visha and garavisha. Normally you don’t see the toxins as they exit through the skin, but if they are virulent they will cause inflammation, itching, redness, rashes and possible infections as they get evacuated via the sweat pores. 
So first, we have to think of all the reasons why the normally alkaline blood and alkaline toxins would turn so acidic and hot. The reasons are numerous, which is why you, as a practitioner, have to thoroughly investigate all these reasons and make sure the patient stops doing whatever they are doing that’s causing these virulent toxins, otherwise, no herbal treatment or other protocol will ever be enough to give lasting relief. That’s how things are known to become “chronic” life-long conditions, as the doctors informed my patient (see the video). She was told she had to live with her chronic acne condition for the rest of her life. (read more below the testimonial video)  

The ancient doctors were correct in stating that every disease could be traced back to problems with digestion. Once you swallow the food, as it makes its way through the digestive tract it is imperative that it breaks down into smaller and smaller particles so it can be absorbed through tiny cell walls into the blood plasma. In order for this process to occur properly, one must have excellent digestion, or else the food remains in the digestive tract, forming “ama” or semi-digested toxic waste, which then circulates freely and ends up clogging our body’s circulatory and other channels. If it is not burnt-off, digested away, and allowed to sit in our bodies, it is known to rot and ferment and turn acidic. It is the body’s natural intelligence that guides it to eliminate such toxic deposits. But when the circulatory channels are clogged due to bad diet, stress, etc, then it tries to evacuate or detox through the skin. When such virulent toxins are led to evacuate through the skin, we witness chronic skin conditions. 
One must first identify if there are any problems with digestion: low bowel flora, weak digestive fire or enzymes, lack of bile flow, problems with the liver (the seat of digestion). If there are problems here, the food will automatically turn into ama. 
You must next assess the patient’s diet as there are many foods which cannot make their way into the cells, automatically forming ama. These would include: nutbutters, soy products, hard aged cheeses, chia, hemp and pumpkin seeds, mushrooms, winter squashes, red meats, cold dairy products and bananas. 
Patients should also keep the following guidelines to optimize digestion:
  • sit while eating – don’t eat while walking or driving, on the go!
  • don’t eat too quickly – Vaidya Mishra used to say “give ample contact time with the saliva” – the saliva contains digesetive enzymes that help break down the food for digestion, if we don’t allow for enough contact time while chewing the stomach will have to work harder!
  • don’t overeat: when you get a feeling of satiation, stop eating! don’t continue the extra piece of cake or the next bite just because it tastes good! It might taste good but it won’t feel good and you’ll end up feeling tired, having acid stomach, etc.
  • don’t drink ice cold beverages with your meals: they “freeze” the digestive environment and make it hard to digest anything !
  • look at your food as you eat it: the brain receives a lot of information as to what you are eating and it communicates with your digestive tract to secrete the right amounts of deigstive enzymes needed. Keeping your mind engaged with what you are eating supports digestion. Watching TV or having intense emotional conversations will eating can result in poor digestion or even chronic digestive conditions.
If ama is produced, it quickly turns into ama visha if it is not addressed right away. I’ve seen many of my patients develop rashes during stressful periods of their lives – emotional stress negatively affects our digestion. 
One interesting note here, which is why we must always evaluate each patient individually and not develop a “protocol” to follow for each case of acne we see. Usually, we will see too much heat/acidity in the liver as one of the main causes for not only acne but for all skin conditions and rashes. The skin is showing you how hot the blood is and an overheated liver is usually the culprit behind the scenes heating up the blood. In addition, we usually find the patient has a faulty diet, which also makes the blood and skin impure. 
This, however, was not true in this patient’s case! She was raised in Jamaica on an extremely healthy diet, with two very health-conscious parents. She had no history of frequent pharmaceuticals which would have destroyed her gut, liver or other aspects of her digestion. Her liver wasn’t hot and was in fact very clean. 
The underlying problem in her case was that her thyroid gland was weak, which was preventing her gallbladder from releasing bile. The bile alkalizes the digestive juices coming from the stomach. Therefore, with lack of bile flow, her digestive juices were too acidic, forming acidic blood. So in her case, the overheated blood was coming from her gallbladder, which was traced back to her weak thyroid (which she inherited from both parents). This is why none of her attempts to clear up her acne in the past had worked. None of her doctors had attempted to or had been able to get to the root of her condition. This underscores how important it is to take each case individually as not all cases result from the same cause. 
Once you have figured out the root cause, whether it is digestive problems, diet, and what the patient is doing while they are eating, then you can begin focusing on detoxification – not the other way around! It makes no sense to start detoxifying a patient when they are automatically turning their food into toxins. Plus, these very hot toxins are heating up the liver and burning the channels. So before detoxification is introduced you have to make sure the channels are well lubricated and the liver has cooled down. 
We are so fortunate to have so many products Vaidya Mishra made for us to fix digestion: bhumi alma, DGL and fennel to cool down an over-heated liver, Apana Agni Balance to fix the enzymatic system in the gut, Daruhardira to stop allergic reactions in the gut, Propachaka for low digestive fire, probiotics to fertilize the gut so the friendly bacteria can grow, Pro Apana to fix the lining of the gut so the friendly bacteria can grow. 
We also have many other formulas for treating the skin in addition to herbs and spices such as: coriander tea or drops to direct the toxins away from the skin and into the urine; Manjistha to stop the reactivity of the toxins as they come through the skin; Semal plus products which are directly for treating acne (drops, clay and lotion). 
We also have the zinc bhasmas, which are nanoparticles of zinc, which absorb better into the cells unlike the current zinc supplements on the market. Zinc is great for controlling infection that can occur in the pores as the toxins sit there and are allowed to fester. 
Vaidya Mishra made it so easy to help us help our patients get well, and we will always be grateful for his hard work in developing these wonderful protocols and formulas for future generations to use.

About Irina Petrova
Irina left her natal Ukraine in the mid 1980s, leaving behind a beautiful childhood and home nestled in a quiet orchard with berry bushes and countless patches of fresh fruits and vegetables, surrounded by green forests, clean rivers, and endless fields and meadows of wild grass and flowers. In this pristine environment, she developed a great love for Nature’s restorative powers. Trained as a classical musician from a young age, her love for beauty, aesthetics, and the healing power of Nature and plants found deeper fulfillment through Ayurveda. Before embarking upon her ayurvedic journey full-time, Irina taught classical piano and ran a successful real estate career. She holds a Master’s degree in Ayurveda from MUM (Fairfield, Iowa) 2001. In addition, she has studied SV Ayurveda with Vaidya Ramakant Mishra. She also recently completed an advanced esthetician’s course at the Santa Barbara Cosmetology Academy and received her esthetician’s license in 2017. She is certified in Vaidya Mishra’s Blissful Beauty Marma Facial System, as well as advanced SVA Marma protocols.

ABOUT PURNIMA
“I see clients from all over Canada- from Halifax to Vancouver!! I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to Vaidya Mishra for this divine SVA knowledge. 
I am the current Manitoba Chair for Ayurveda Association of Canada. I was in Toronto last month and met with some graduating students from the Canadian College of Ayurveda. One of my jobs as the chair and AAC Standards, Practice & Ethics Committee board member is to help new graduates establish their Ayurvedic practice. Although I have trained in many schools, my practice is mostly SVA based. I receive numerous testimonials from clients for different SVA treatments, protocols, and the formulations. I wanted to share this latest testimonial. This client saw a remarkable difference in her health with some transdermal marma treatment and some herbal nectars. She suffered from sever constipation and we addressed that as well.”

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!
