Have you heard of Moringa? Also known as Moringa oleifera? Moringa is a fast-growing drought-resistant tree native to the Indian subcontinent. In India, it is also known as drumstick tree. In Sanskrit, it is called “shigru.” Its leaves and fruit – drumstick – are edible, but the Moringa tree is key for our health, specially during seasonal detox. Even modern science now confirms that Moringa can help: 

  • Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
  • Enhance Digestive Health
  • Purify/detoxify blood
  • Boost immunity
  • Facilitate stronger bone development …
  • Help prevent Respiratory Diseases
  • Boost female sexual health

But that’s not all! Moringa carries: 

  • 7 times more Vit C than an orange
  • 3 times more potassium than a banana
  • 3 times the amount of iron found in almonds
  • 25 times more iron than in spinach
  • 4 times more calcium than in milk
  • 2 times more protein than in milk

And if this is still not enough to wow you, it has

  • 47 different antioxidants

The greater potency of vitamin C and potassium, along with calcium, protein, iron, and amino acids, help your body heal and build muscle. It’s also packed with antioxidants, substances that can protect cells from damage and boost your immune system.

All of this in just one plant. This is why Vaidya Mishra dubbed Moringa “a divine plant.” You can understand why they are divine gifts of Mother Nature – they carry a perfect combination of balancing and rejuvenative properties. Not only do the ancient ayurvedic texts recommend Moringa, but the scientific community keeps publishing papers that attest to the incredible nutritional, therapeutic and prophylactic properties of this ancient divine plant. 

Moringa thrives where other plants and ingredients fail. Although the plant’s many parts are used – leaves, flowers, seeds, fruit and even bark – in the Vedic tradition, the leaves and the fruit are particularly favored in cooking, for daily nourishment and detoxification, alone or with some lentils (mung or masoor preferably). SVA recommends using it daily for nourishment and detoxification because it is very effective in ridding the bone tissue of accumulated toxic waste. Since it targets the bone tissue, it is then also good for the blood and fat tissue – toxins travel through the blood, the muscle and then the fat before reaching the bone as one is built on the other. As a side-benefit, moringa also supports the detoxification of the liver.

There are also additional benefits to consuming Moringa on a regular basis:
  • It is great for eyes, skin – it detoxifies the skin and nourishes the eyes
  • It can help lower cholesterol since it supports the liver and purifies the fat tissue
  •  It can help with joint pain resulting from the local accumulation of toxins because its primary action is to detoxify tissues, particularly the fat tissue
  • Long-term use supports our immune system. 

It is tridoshic – balancing for vata, pitta, and kapha – however, if you are a high pitta body type, make sure to always cook it with a pitta pacifying masala. Alternately, you can use the SVA Moringa Soup Mix which has been formulated to be balancing for all three doshas.

Enjoy Moringa in of the many formats that Vaidya Mishra made available for us: as a powder for soup; as a delicious tea blend; as concentrated nectar drops in your water; or even transdermally as a soap – see the beautiful results on your skin daily.

Enjoy the divine gifts of Mother Nature through Vaidya’s unique pranic formulations -  Namaste!

“Over the last 15 years I’ve spent countless hours learning, studying, practicing, and sharing the knowledge of Ayurveda and the enlightened wisdom its unveiled. Living and sharing how to live an Enlightened Ayurveda Lifestyle has become my life’s passion and work.

A yoga class in 2005 was my first introduction to Ayurveda. Immediately the principles resonated, but it took a year before I acted, and only because my entire health and wellbeing fell apart. My “American Dream” life was becoming a nightmare. My digestion was all over the place (IBS), I had blinding anxiety and panic attacks, sleep issues, and my hormones were completely out of whack with perimenopause symptoms.

I was only in my mid 30s and fearful my MD would write a handful of prescriptions and be medicating my symptoms for the rest of my life. That vision of my future scared me. Before relenting to this path, I decided to give Ayurveda a try, hoping to get to the root cause of all my health issues and challenges.

In less than 30 days, I experienced improvement in every health issue, all through sustainable Diet, Self-Care and Lifestyle practices. Not only did Ayurveda get to the root cause of my health issues, it helped me begin unveiling my true self.

By 2011, I started making a complete career change from Accounting and IT to Ayurveda. My ongoing journey of self enlightenment through my Ayurveda practices provided a message loud and clear – You must share your knowledge and wisdom.

Today, I offer Ayurveda bodywork, Ayurvedic and Functional Medicine wellness coaching, panchakarma (Ayurveda purification), retreats and workshops. My focus is to create personalized mind, body and spirit aligning experiences that Enlighten the Wellness Within YOU.

A common thread through all of my knowledge, practice and inner wisdom is strongly aligned with the 5,000+ year old Ayurveda lineage of Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda, brought to the U.S. by Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra, a Pulse and Marma master. Vaidya Mishra was my first teacher of Ayurveda and remains my most influential teacher, even after his passing in 2017.” ~ Carol Nace

Infertility & Digestion: What’s the Connection? – with Dr Teitelbaum – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Oct 13, 2022 – #38, Vol 11

October 14, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube  

Spice & herbs not only awaken our taste-buds but they also sharpen our digestive fire, improve absorption of nutrients, and also aid in the elimination of toxins. In western cuisines, we associate spices with asian/indian curries, or the pungent taste. We have also forgotten how to cook with spices. Spice should be a staple of our daily meals because when used in specific ratios and with a good healthy fatty medium, our body makes “ojas” out of the food we eat – when it’s cooked with the right spices. Ojas is a fascinating ayurvedic topic: ojas is not just what keeps us alive but also healthy. Dr Teitelbaum explains the relationship between ojas and fertility below.

If you are new to spices and not sure how or where to begin, we offer a sample box made of real Rose wood – try different spice blends created by Vaidya Mishra to balance the western physiology, add flavor to your meals, and longevity to your health. Namaste! 

Infertility & Digestion:

What’s the Connection? 

When I was young, nearly everyone on our block had 4, 5, 6 or more children. Infertility was quite rare, happening only occasionally. Fast forward to the 21st century when approximately 1 in 7 couples are affected by infertility in the United States. That’s about 6.7 million people each year who have trouble conceiving.

To examine why people are having such a hard time conceiving a child, we must consider several factors. And we also want to try to trace all the underlying causes. We do know that hormones play a role, but in Ayurveda we like to look at all the factors which affect infertility — thinking that it’s just a problem with hormones is too superficial a way to look at it.

So to understand this issue at a much deeper level, we must first understand what Ojas is. Ojas is the neurotransmitters and hormones and gives us great strength and stamina, as well as immunity to disease. And, it gives us fertility.

Since Ojas is responsible for reproduction, it’s important that we understand how it is made. And as the ancient Ayurvedic doctors stated, we should always look first at digestion when tracing back the origins of any disease process.

Once you swallow the food, it goes through the digestive tract and it must be broken down into smaller and smaller particles so that it can next be absorbed into the bloodstream. But if either something is wrong with your digestion and/or the food is too heavy, then residues of the food can remain stuck in the gut, forming ama, which clogs the intestinal channel. Then, as a result, there is less food being absorbed into the blood stream. 

Once the food absorbs into the bloodstream, it must spend 3-5 days in each of the 7 tissues before moving onto the next. The 7 tissues are blood plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow and finally the reproductive fluids. Then at the end of the 7th tissue Ojas is made, which is the final end product of digestion.

So, if someone is experiencing infertility, the first thing you must examine is how well their digestion is working. Unfortunately, in this day and age, most people have compromised digestion from taking too many antibiotics, birth control pills, acid reflux medicines, steroids and immunizations, all of which destroy our digestive capability by destroying the friendly bacteria in the gut and compromising the liver from too many toxins traveling through it. Keep in mind that the gut flora and the liver are considered the seat of digestion.

So the first step is to fix the gut and the liver. And any other weak processes of digestion, such as the gall bladder, enzyme systems, and so on.

Then of course your diet must be as healthy as can be, with fresh home-made foods cooked every day and eaten that day, which gives you the most nutritional value from the food and the most prana, or vibrational value that the food can have.

It’s important to know that with every food we eat, it takes a whole month before it can make Ojas, since all the foods spend 3-5 days in each of the 7 tissues before moving onto the next tissue. The only exception to that rule is: milk! This means then that milk is the #1 most nourishing food to ensure fertility. But you must drink good quality milk (whole milk from grass fed cows, preferably non-homogenized with the cream at the top), taken in the correct way (boiled and taken either on an empty stomach or cooked into grains).

Unfortunately so many people can no longer digest milk because of their compromised digestive systems. So in these cases we must first fix their digestion so they can go back to having milk again.

The other problem we encounter is that milk has been so maligned here in the Western world — people call it a poison and say it’s responsible for causing cancer and auto-immune diseases, which has caused so many people to turn towards plant-based milk instead.

This is a big mistake! Milk is definitely not a poison if you have good quality milk taken in the correct way and you can digest it properly.

And keep in mind that the hormones which make you fertile are made of cholesterol. Therefore whole milk and ghee are the absolute two best foods for fertility.

But when you’re under stress, working too many hours, and rushing through the day, you can burn that cholesterol, since all the stress hormones are made from cholesterol. And you can also burn up the Ojas, leaving you feel depleted and fatigued. And infertile.

And this is precisely why when I was young all the women were so fertile. Most of the women back then didn’t go out to work but instead stayed at home. But then in the 1970’s when women entered the work force they quickly became infertile as they burned up their Ojas as they tried their best to both work and still perform all the other chores necessary to run the household. I distinctly remember fertility clinics opening up right around that time, which were pretty much nonexistent before that.

Over-exercise can also deplete Ojas, so while it’s good to exercise your body you don’t want to overdo it by working out for too many hours a week. Periodically take a day off to give yourself a little break here and there in between the work outs. And if you’re already thin to begin with, please don’t jog — it can aggravate Vata even more, draining even more of your strength and stamina. If you’re a thin and stressed out Vata type who might be a little weak or malnourished it’s best to walk or do yoga, but not strenuous aerobic exercise. Pitta types, who are of a more medium build can tolerate a little more exercise than the Vata types, and the more stout Kapha types can do just about any type of exercise they want, as long as they don’t injure themselves. 

Once you correct all the reasons for the low Ojas, and you learn how to rest more, eat more nourishing foods, add whole milk (cow’s or goat’s preferably) and ghee to the diet, then you can also start considering ways to boost your hormones using all the wonderful herbs and herbal formulas Ayurveda has to offer to help you conceive. But if you just try to address hormone levels without doing the work involved to keep up your Ojas, you are setting yourself up for failure. That’s why taking synthetic hormones for fertility don’t always work either. 

The other thing to consider is that if you are having a difficult time conceiving it’s because your body is wise, knowing that your Ojas is low, that you need to fix your own strength and stamina before growing a new body inside your womb. So it’s important you address all these issues so that you can have the healthiest baby possible. I’ve seen some very sick women become infertile, they go to fertility clinics, are then pumped with extremely high doses of synthetic hormones; they conceive, but their offspring are unhealthy because no one thought of strengthening the mother and father before conceiving a new life. You want your genetic material and offspring to be as strong as possible. Therefore you must be as strong as possible before conceiving. 

Many women have miscarriages for no apparent reason. In most of these cases there is a subclinical hypothyroid problem, which means that the thyroid gland is weak, but it might not be weak enough to show up on blood work. Yet it is weak enough to cause a miscarriage. This is because when the thyroid gland is weak the progesterone goes low, which results in a miscarriage. In my book Healing the Thyroid With Ayurveda I outline all the reasons someone might have a weak thyroid. In these cases, we fix all the reasons for the thyroid weakness, and then give them our herbs to keep their progesterone levels up throughout the entire pregnancy. This approach has been proven to be highly effective in preventing miscarriage. 

So there is much more which can be done to enhance your fertility outside of the realm of taking somewhat dangerous synthetic hormones filled with nasty side effects and toxicity. The answer lies in keeping up your levels of Ojas, by fixing your digestion and eating high quality nourishing foods and addressing the stressors you can control, such as going to bed early, incorporating whole milk and ghee into your diet and identifying any and all thyroid issues which might be lurking under the surface, even if your blood work comes back normal.

By following these guidelines you’ll be amazed at how much your fertility comes back. Ayurveda has hundreds of herbs, many of which can greatly enhance fertility. We even have herbs to strengthen the uterine lining so the egg can implant, herbs to increase the sperm count and motility and herbs to help the woman’s eggs develop fully.

It’s always best to conceive a child in the most natural way possible, so they can enter life with their own high levels of Ojas and not start out with chemical toxins which come from the mother’s use of the many synthetic hormones used for fertility. 

And don’t be shortsighted in your approach to treating fertility — don’t just think of it as a problem with low hormones which could leave you to believe that if you just take hormones you will be able to conceive. It’s a little more complicated than that, but it’s also not as hard to conceive as you might think.

Your body is fully capable of healing itself to the point where you can regain your fertility…you just have to nudge it in the right direction.

Thank you,

It’s officially Autumn, and if you are experiencing increased stress and mental activity, accompanied by sometimes high sometimes low appetite, and cravings for both sweet as well as spicy and crunchy – then no worries, we are all on the same boat! In Autumn, our physical channels (srotas) shrink, and if we don’t do a seasonal detox to pacify our doshas, excess heat from the summer may get trapped in, further aggravating vata and pitta dosha-s. Hence the cravings! And poor digestion and assimilation. When our doshas go off, it’s easier to catch the seasonal cold. So it’s important to stay on top of things but going to bed by 9:45pm, eating light warm easy to digest meals, eating less sweet food items – favor fresh fruits over baked goods etc. And then try Vaidya Mishra’s delicious Garcinia Masala and Garcinia Tea blends, as well as his chutneys, to help pacify your cravings without causing further imbalance.

Navaratri just concluded on Wednesday October 5 – an annual autumn festival that celebrates the cosmic creative energy of Shakti. During Navaratri, Shakti is re-enlivened in women (and men), through the recitation of vedic verses, and offerings into a ritual fire. Vaidya Mishra’s ayurvedic teachings always encompassed Shakti in all her aspects – whether it was in his explanations of the cosmic guna-s, or the action of herbs, or the balancing of our human physiologies. On the occasion of this Navaratri, and in loving memory of our guru, we would like to showcase 2 powerful shakties in the field – in vedic culture the terms is used interchangeably for women.

Vaidya’s legacy is not only alive but thriving! Many of his students and followers are leading beautiful healing work in their communities. This week we showcase 2 star students of Vaidya Mishra, who are leading the field through their offerings. Scroll down to read more. 

The sequel to Divya Alter’s hugely successful first cookbook What to Eat for How You Feel is an ingredient-driven must-have for plant-based kitchens.

This indispensable kitchen companion takes the reader on a flavorful journey to a new, more personalized relationship with food. Chef Divya Alter pulls from her wealth of knowledge of Ayurvedic nutrition, sharing life-giving information on how to select and cook essential plant-based ingredients that are the right fit for the individual’s needs. The eighty globally inspired recipes empower the health-conscious cook to create delicious meals with a bonus: increased vitality, joy, and balance.

Divya Alter is a certified nutritional consultant, educator, and chef in the Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda tradition. In 2016, Alter cofounded Divya’s Kitchen, an award-winning plant-based restaurant in New York City that reimagines classic dishes through an Ayurvedic lens. Divya’s brand has since expanded to include plant-based retail food products and educational videos. Alter is also the cofounder of Bhagavat Life, a nonprofit culinary school offering cooking classes and an Ayurvedic chef certification program. Alter is the author of What to Eat for How You Feel: The New Ayurvedic Kitchen.

Hello,

My name is Marie Amram. My Ayurveda nutrition & wellness coaching practice is based in Ottawa, Canada, however online consultations are accessible from any country.

I grew up near beautiful beaches in a small fishing village in Brittany, France, under gorgeous blue skies and majestic grey clouds.

How I came to S.V. Ayurveda

My journey with Ayurveda started as a marma & ayurvedic spa therapist. After I personally experienced a severe burnout and debilitating heartburn, I realized how critical gut and digestive issues are to our overall health.

While I studied with Vaidya Rama K. Mishra and trained as a nutrition & wellness educator, I also worked on my own recovery. A graduate of the Ayurveda Nutrition and Culinary Training Foundation Program (ANACT) at Baghavat Life Culinary School in New York, I now share with my clients the transformative effects that a balanced diet and lifestyle can have.

My Practice

In the course of my personal healing and learning journey, I experienced first-hand the balancing power of S.V. Ayurveda over inflammatory conditions that most of us commonly suffer from. To this day, the wholesome recipes I continually develop based on S.V. Ayurveda guidelines are still supporting me and helping my clients as well.

Connecting with others and sharing what I’ve learned from my own experience has become a passion and it is the mission of my practice.

My practice offers client-centered services that go beyond the typical “herb-for-symptoms” approach. The focus is on my clients’ needs and on empowering them with the understanding of their individual constitution and with mastering the selection and preparation of delicious restorative meals… with their gut in mind.

Navaratri – What Is It? – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Sept 29, 2022 – #36, Vol 11

October 5, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Navaratri translates into “9 nights.” It’s an ancient vedic ritual that occurs a few times in a year based on astrological calculations. Autumn Navaratri or Sharada Navaratri is considered the most auspicious. Auspicious in the sense that it brings renewal to our lives – on an energetic and physical level. Energetically, it is said that creative powers known as “shakti” are more readily available and present in the environment. Even though women are identified as “shakti,” this creative cosmic force is not limited to women’s physiology. A woman is an expression of shakti; but both men and women carry shakti energy in different degrees. In Autumn, that shakti energy is readily available for all to get recharged with. This is celebrated for 9 days and nights. It is a good time to turn inwards, even as Nature is getting ready to transition from the exuberance of Summer nights into shorter and colder Autumn days. It is also an ideal time to do a seasonal home detox, change our pace of work/rest, adjust our diet to changing temperatures, so that our physical bodies can transition and stay and grow strong. Ayurveda is the best tool that helps maintain our health so that we can continue on our journeys of exploring and attaining yogic samadhi or bliss. 

Here’s to your health with Vaidya Mishra’s unique pranic ayurvedic formulations and ayurvedic know-how. Namaste!

Daivi Shakti Chants

Vedic Devata Productions presents the first of its Vedic Mantra Therapy CDs performed by Westerners, featuring the ancient science and art of Vedic Classical Devotional Song. This CD is beyond entertainment as it has been found by listeners to be therapeutic and healing. It features the Ancient Vedic Sanskrit language that is the mother of all languages, and vibrates at a primordial level of life close to what Modern Quantum Physics has identified as the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, and what ancient Vedic Science identifies as the Veda, a field of Pure Self-interacting Consciousness. 

Consciousness is all that there is, and sits at the basis of every grain of manifest creation. All matter and energy emerge from this field that is

silently present fundamentally in all forms of manifest creation. Therefore, many listeners find their awareness enters a deep meditative experience while listening, that promotes inner harmony, nourishment, and peace. These

specific traditional ancient texts enliven attunement to the universal power of that Cosmic Administrator known as Mother Divine, the Divine Feminine that is naturally nourishing to life. In addition to its spiritually uplifting and therapeutic values, this Daivi Shakti CD also provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool with the PDF file of the Sanskrit texts and transliterations, allowing listeners to sing along and enjoy the enhanced bliss of Vedic

Devotional Songs. These delightful and divine melodies and texts

are derived from Vedic pujas and yagyas; they are chanted and sung in Sanskrit with English transliterations, so that you as a listener may sing along and learn them yourself with the lead singer/teacher. The songs are sung in the oral tradition known as guru-shishya- parampara, with teacher and student chorus alternating, so that listeners may easily learn and sing along. There is no substitute for a good teacher; however, this CD provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool to learning to pronounce, sing and enjoy the bliss of Vedic Devotional Songs. These divine songs have a remarkable power and ability to nourish and uplift the heart and consciousness toward a state of complete unity.They are always nourishing, but especially

fulfilling when sung during the Nine Days of Mother Divine according to the Vedic Calendar, which occur in the spring and fall of every year. Instrumentation has been limited to the customary use of drone and minimal percussion; using traditional acoustic instruments to encourage maximum purity of intonation along with perfection in pronunciation.

“ There was a time when I lost both my mother and my fiancé to cancer and a car accident within a two week period. I sank into a deep depression.

With its feminine nourishing power it healed my emotional heart, while helping to

neutralize the grief from the loss of the two important women in my life. I highly recommend it.”

High Blood Pressure: An Ayurvedic Look with Dr Teitelbaum; Plus: Navaratri is HERE – Join Us; And more! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Sept 22, 2022 – #35, Vol 11

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE 

 ~ a SV ayurvedic perspective ~

If you doctor finds you have high blood pressure, you will probably be put on blood pressure medicine and/or diuretics to bring the blood pressure down. These are important life-saving medications for sure, but we always want to make sure to treat the root cause(s) of the high blood pressure so that maybe we won’t need to resort to the use of these medications.

There are several reasons for high blood pressure, so once you know the causative factors, try to avoid these pitfalls and then we do have numerous remedies to help bring the blood pressure down. Let’s look at this problem from a deeper perspective:

The Physical Channels 

First, it is important to understand the idea of the physical channels. The arteries are considered one type of channel, the various vessels that the blood flows through. If these channels shrink down, get clogged or inflamed then the blood pressure will go up, much like a garden hose if you step on it, the pressure will go up inside the hose.

Therefore, avoid the foods that shrink the channels: the nightshade vegetables, such as eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes and white potatoes. They contain nicotine which shrinks all the body’s physical channels including these delicate blood vessels, causing the pressure to go up.

Avoid the channel-clogging foods for the same reason: chocolate, cacao, unfermented soy (tofu, soy milk, edamame), hard aged cheeses, nut butters (peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, almond butter, etc.), winter squashes, bananas, mushrooms and the heavy meats (red meat, pork, sausage, bacon, pepperoni, bacon, for example).

And finally avoid the foods which burn the channels, such as onions, garlic and vinegar. If you desire a sour taste put fresh squeezed lime on the food as it turns alkaline quickly once ingested.

  

Magnesium

I have a one-hour free class on my website (under the subheading “Online Classes.” )  If you listen to this in-depth explanation of magnesium, you will quickly see why even mainstream medicine uses magnesium in the hospitals and emergency rooms to lower blood pressure.

Basically, the arteries have muscles in one of their three layers to pump the blood through, and there is another layer containing elastin. This elastic layer is like a rubber band, which allows the artery to expand and contract as the blood is pumped through.

Magnesium resides in both layers, allowing the arterial muscles to both relax and then to expand as the heart beats. So we always want to keep our magnesium levels up. Stress, pharmaceuticals and other negative influences can deplete our bodies of magnesium, then the arteries lose their elasticity allowing the blood pressure to go up.

Magnesium sits on the outside of every cell, preventing calcium from entering. Calcium belongs in our teeth and bones, but not on the insides of our arteries. Once the magnesium goes low, calcium takes advantage and begins to accumulate on the inside of the arteries, creating hardening of the arteries, which is very easy to feel in one’s pulse. As one uses magnesium, the arteries soften up, causing more elasticity — this is very easy to feel in the pulse and very rewarding as you see your older patients develop the very soft arteries commonly seen in the younger patients.

Of course, we recommend the use of transdermal magnesium, either through creams, rolls-ons or oil massages since the skin will absorb what it needs. When taken orally it can sometimes go through the digestive tract too quickly preventing its absorption.

Bad Oil Clogs the Arteries… 

Most of us grew up on vegetable and other poor quality processed cooking oils: sunflower, safflower, canola, peanut oil, corn oil, margarine, and other processed fats. When you heat these oils they form a plastic molecule which clogs the arteries. Then calcium deposits on top of the plastic, forming plaque, which also raises the blood pressure as the arteries get hardened.  

We have several remedies which can scrape this plaque out of the walls of the arteries but you should be under the care of one of Vaidya Mishra’s trained SVA doctors as you clean it out. We have had several patients reverse their clogged arteries (as seen on a CT scan of the arteries called a “calcium score” using these tremendously effective therapies.

Stress….

We all know how stress can elevate the blood pressure: when we’re stressed our adrenal glands secrete cortisol which shrinks down the channels, allowing the blood pressure to go up. This is why we use Ashwagandha, which prevents the release of too much cortisol when we’re under stress. 

Cortisol also dumps magnesium out of the body, causing the blood pressure to go up as the arteries lose their elasticity and harden.

Salt…

The highly processed salts we use are mainly composed of sodium and chloride, which increases the blood pressure over a lifetime. 

Our Soma Salt contains many other minerals, besides sodium and chloride, which also aid in keeping your blood pressure low throughout your life.

Vata-Pitta-Kapha’s Impact on the Arteries

Learn about vata, pitta and kapha as these three doshas also play a role in keeping our blood pressure down. High vata shrinks the channels, high pitta allows the blood to pound against the walls of the arteries as the blood gets hotter and hotter, and high kappa, if left unchecked can clog the arteries also causing high blood pressure. 

There are numerous ways to treat these doshas, including herbs, diet, daily routine and cleansing — listen to my one-hour lecture on my website which gives a thorough explanation on what these terms mean and how to keep them balanced.

Obesity

Learn good eating habits to keep your weight down as high body weight can cause high blood pressure. Many of my patients’ blood pressure came down just by losing weight, without having to use even herbs.

By following these guidelines you should be able to keep your blood pressure down your entire life, without the use of blood pressure medicines.

Daivi Shakti Chants

Vedic Devata Productions presents the first of its Vedic Mantra Therapy CDs performed by Westerners, featuring the ancient science and art of Vedic Classical Devotional Song. This CD is beyond entertainment as it has been found by listeners to be therapeutic and healing. It features the Ancient Vedic Sanskrit language that is the mother of all languages, and vibrates at a primordial level of life close to what Modern Quantum Physics has identified as the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, and what ancient Vedic Science identifies as the Veda, a field of Pure Self-interacting Consciousness. 

Consciousness is all that there is, and sits at the basis of every grain of manifest creation. All matter and energy emerge from this field that is

silently present fundamentally in all forms of manifest creation. Therefore, many listeners find their awareness enters a deep meditative experience while listening, that promotes inner harmony, nourishment, and peace. These

specific traditional ancient texts enliven attunement to the universal power of that Cosmic Administrator known as Mother Divine, the Divine Feminine that is naturally nourishing to life. In addition to its spiritually uplifting and therapeutic values, this Daivi Shakti CD also provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool with the PDF file of the Sanskrit texts and transliterations, allowing listeners to sing along and enjoy the enhanced bliss of Vedic

Devotional Songs. These delightful and divine melodies and texts

are derived from Vedic pujas and yagyas; they are chanted and sung in Sanskrit with English transliterations, so that you as a listener may sing along and learn them yourself with the lead singer/teacher. The songs are sung in the oral tradition known as guru-shishya- parampara, with teacher and student chorus alternating, so that listeners may easily learn and sing along. There is no substitute for a good teacher; however, this CD provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool to learning to pronounce, sing and enjoy the bliss of Vedic Devotional Songs. These divine songs have a remarkable power and ability to nourish and uplift the heart and consciousness toward a state of complete unity.They are always nourishing, but especially

fulfilling when sung during the Nine Days of Mother Divine according to the Vedic Calendar, which occur in the spring and fall of every year. Instrumentation has been limited to the customary use of drone and minimal percussion; using traditional acoustic instruments to encourage maximum purity of intonation along with perfection in pronunciation.

GUILT-FREE Summer Treat; Plus SVA Community News – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Sept 15, 2022 – #34, Vol 11

October 5, 2022 by Leave a Comment

 

 

Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  Youtube

It’s the end of summer and temperatures are running high, so are our temperaments! Not to mention thirst, and lack of appetite. This is all part of the season: increased heat in the environment reflects changes in our metabolism and mood. Our pitta dosha goes off, we may feel emotional and cranky, our eyes feel dry, our skin feel scorched, our stomach seems unable to digest anything except water (and ice cream!). It’s normal to reach out for sweet treats. The sweet taste as we learn from Ayurveda, is cold/cooling, and heavy. So it balances pitta and vata. But can aggravate kapha. Not to mention bring other imbalances if it is not well-processed sugar etc. So if you are experiencing summer heat like we are, we have the most delicious “remedy” for you! A ½ tsp of Vaidya’s Rose Petal Preserve – eat it as is OR add 1 tsp to 10 oz of water and stir and enjoy as a delicious drink. Rose is the Queen of Flowers because not only is it gorgeous to look at and opens our hearts with its smell, but it helps pacify acidic stomach, hot skin, dry eyes, and so much more! Rediscover your cool-ness with Vaidya’s Rose Preserve – we promise you will fall in love with Summer again…  

Here’s another all-time favorite that will just surprise out with its goodness: you won’t be able to contain the joy of how well mango and orange marry! Is it possible to have a sweet fruit spread that’s delectably perfect to balance your pitta and vata doshas without aggravating kapha? With Vaidya’s Sweet Orange and Mango Chutney that’s exactly what you get – this new chutney is not just free from chemical and toxic additives, colors, and flavors, but it is formulated according to the most ancient ayurvedic principles that help balance the body and the mind through a healthy treat. It’s a delicious chutney that is great to use daily with your meals or eat alone at snack-time with some crackers!

According to the basic principles of ayurvedic pharmacology – known as dravyaguna, the natural taste of a food item is very important because it gives you information about what it is going to do in your body, what actions it is going to perform once you ingest it. This is why, in Ayurveda, plants and herbs are first and foremost categorized and evaluated according to their taste. In total, Ayurveda says there are 6 tastes: madhur (sweet); amla (sour); lavan (salty); katu (pungent); tikt (bitter); kashai (astringent).

The first three tastes are known to be vata pacifying (the sutra says: “Tatradia marutam granthi” – the first 3 tastes pacify marut/vata or the air principle). The Sweet Orange and Mango chutney contains a balance of both the sweet (madhur) and sour (amla) tastes, therefore, it pacifies all vata aspects right away – body and mind. But does this not aggravate kapha dosha – since only the bitter, pungent, and astringent tastes pacify kapha while the sweet, sour, and salty aggravate it?

Vaidya’s chutney is made of raw sweet mangos that are known to be astringent, and in this recipe, the astringent taste or “kashai rasa” counter-balances the sweet and sour properties of the chutney keeping kapha in balance. Enjoy this most delectable preserve GUILT-FREE!

Wonderful Source of Dietary Fiber and Pre-biotic Colon Support

Prunes have a storied history and a big reputation as ‘nature’s remedy’ for constipation. And no wonder! Prunes are rich in insoluble fiber, as well as the natural laxative sorbitol.

But that’s not the end of the story. Prunes are a great addition to any diet, as they have a long list of other health benefits with the least or zero side-effects. Despite not being part of the Ayurvedic tradition, we should fully adopt them into our daily diet.

Dietary Fiber and Pre-biotics

This tri-doshic (balanced for all body types) prune preserve helps normalize apana agni.  This agni (metabolic fire) governing the colon must be sama (balanced) to do its job of selecting what materials to absorb and what materials to reject in the process of digestion. 

Organic Prune Preserve works on apana agni by lending a rich source of dietary fiber that both helps remove the malas (waste products) from the colon and provides pre-biotic support for the yoginis (friendly bacteria) that line the colon wall. Yoginis increase our immunity and the intelligence of the colon. So, prunes don’t merely help relieve constipation, they can also help with the absorption of minerals and other essential nutrients we require.

If you are concerned that this preserve may not taste good, put your worries aside. This preserve also carries the delicious taste of sweet orange and organic raw sugar. So, it tastes as good as it is good for you.

Cranberries are oft forgotten but for that one day when placed alongside other traditional Thanksgiving fare. But there are many reasons we should eat cranberries more often. And that’s why now you don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy them. With Vaidya Mishra’s Organic Cranberry Preserve you can enjoy the health benefits of cranberries year-round. 

Cranberries are a power fruit – great for the eyes, cardiovascular health, and the urinary tract. According to the Cranberry Marketing Committee, this disease-fighting fruit is also one of the highest ranked regularly consumed foods for antioxidant content per serving. Antioxidants protect cells from damage by oxidative stress and free radicals, damage that can lead to serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Some of the antioxidants found in cranberries include anthocyanins, ellagic acid, quercetin, resveratrol, selenium, and vitamins A, C and E. 

Awaken your taste-buds with the flavor of exotic fruits and spices in Vaidya’s SVA Tamarind Wild Amla Preserve. Connect your brain centers with your stomach, support your appetite, enhance your digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, feel energized instead of fatigued after your meals. The Wild Amla berry is ideal for protein synthesis, and for enhancing the dhatu-agnis (metabolic process in all the tissues). Wild Amla is a powerhouse of Vitamin C, and is highly alkalizing. It pacifies all doshas and subdoshas. Sweet Thai Tamarind is a delicious exotic fruit ideal for metabolism, and for maintaining cool and healthy skin conditions. Tamarind also supports the colon’s friendly bacteria and balances all doshas and subdoshas. This ketchup-substitute condiment will help you catch-up with your health resolutions and keep you two steps ahead of the old habits you are trying to kick off!

Vaidya Mishra

After moving to the United States in the mid-1990s, and taking the pulse of countless “westerners,” Vaidya Mishra realized that he had to delve deeper into Ayurveda to bring more remedies for the “western physiology” – by this he was referring to all those who had grown up on a diet that lacked turmeric and all the other essential spices that support digestions, absorption, and elimination. All the clients who came to seek his help were suffering from one aspect or another of digestive issues, and almost all carried a “cranky liver.” The liver is such an important organ in Ayurveda. It not only literally produces our blood from what we eat, but also serves as a filtering lab, protecting us against harmful chemicals. It is highly essential for detox but also ongoing health. In the sense that any ayurvedic oral remedies and herbs become either useless or harmful if the liver is unable to process them. The catch is that without first helping to balance and rejuvenate the liver, it would be quasi-impossible to address any other health issues. And if the liver cannot process the herbs, then how can these herbs be administered? This is one of the reasons Vaidya Mishra developed a full line of transdermal herbal remedies that bypass the digestive tract – transdermal creams applied on the skin are readily available in the blood stream and are thus safe and effective. After launching his transdermal creams, Vaidya also developed his trans-mucosal delivery system. Both the transdermal and the trans-mucosal are part and parcel of the ancient ayurvedic system, however, they have never been available the way Vaidya Mishra made them to be, to address our modern needs. The trans-mucosal system works, as its name indicates, trans-mucosally. What does this mean? It means that it also, like the transdermal system, bypasses the digestive system (which is what we want) and gets taken in to the blood stream and circulated to the target areas to help restore that area’s natural “intelligence.” These trans-mucosal drops are called “herbal-memory nectar” not because they support our memory power, but because they carry the herbal memory of that plant. They act within our bodies the way the plant’s molecules would, yet the drops do not have any physical herbal molecules, that’s why they can be absorbed and delivered immediately within seconds. And that’s also why the body can work with them – they do not create any reactions because they are very subtle. In addition, these drops are concentrated like nectar is. One drop gets absorbed by the mucosal membrane in our oral cavity the minute we ingest it. These herbs are thus very gentle, yet very potent. They are, as you might have guessed, much like homeopathic drops; however, unlike homeopathy they contain ZERO alcohol. 

Ultimately, the best gift these herbal nectar drops bring is their healing power specially when the digestive system and tract is compromised and ultra sensitive and unable to digest, and process food and thus herbs. These drops are safe and effect. They work silently to restore cellular intelligence. Dr Marianne Teitelbaum has learnt how to administer them for countless conditions, specially in acute cases such as SIBO. Read more in this week’s article by her.

You can discover the full line of Vaidya’s nectar drops on www.chandika.com . You can combine up to 8 different drops in a container of 16oz high pH spring water. 

SIBO

What It Is & What You Can Do About It

with Dr Teitelbaum 

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an increase in the bacteria population in the small intestine. Let’s examine for a minute what this actually means.

Once you swallow the food and it’s done digesting in the stomach, it enters the small intestine. This is the area sometimes referred to as the “Kitchen” area, where the food you ate is now being absorbed into the bloodstream, to be taken all throughout the body. From the small intestine it then enters the large intestine, also known as the “Garbage” area where lots of bacteria work on it to break it down into our stool, to then be eliminated by the body.

Now, this is very important — you’re not supposed to have a lot of bacteria in the small intestines. This area has to be very clean since this is the area where you are absorbing the nutrients into the bloodstream. So it must remain fairly sterile. 

And this is also both important and very interesting: the small intestine is 20 feet long. The large intestine is 5 feet long. Yet the food remains in the small intestines for only 2 hours, compared to the large intestine where the food stays there for 2 days. You must keep the food moving fairly rapidly in the small intestine so no pathogenic bacteria begins to grow.

The small intestines have very few bacteria — only 10,000 bacteria per ml of fluid. Yet the large intestine has 1 trillion live bacteria per ml of fluid.

So nature made it where we have relatively very few bacteria in the small intestine. 

So let’s think how our small intestines could develop an overgrowth of bacteria. As I always state in all my videos, the causes are usually numerous and they are different in each particular person. 

Today I’d like to discuss 4 main causes of SIBO, although there are probably several other contributing factors that could either cause it or add to the severity of the condition.

The first cause, which is fairly obvious, is lack of friendly bacteria residing in the intestines. They perform many functions, such as the absorption of nutrients, prevention of food allergies and autoimmune diseases, but they also prevent the growth of the pathogenic bacteria, or the bad bacteria which could harm us. These friendly bacteria are depleted by many types of pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, birth control pills, steroids, vaccines and acid reflux medicines.

Once they are depleted the pathogenic bacteria can start to overgrow. So in this case we want to make sure we always address our gut micro biome whenever we have to take any of these types of medications, which will prevent SIBO and other types of infections. That’s why it’s good to learn about the best probiotics, and how to make home-made yogurt, lassi, buttermilk and takra with the best yogurt starter cultures to ensure a good balance of friendly bacteria in the gut.

The second cause of SIBO is the use of acid reflux medicines. Now think about this: nature made it so once we swallow the food after chewing it, the first place it goes is the stomach. The hydrochloric acid found in the stomach not only breaks down the food into a liquid acid, but it also kills any infection coming in from the outside world. 

So taking acid reflux medicines which take away the stomach acid can set the stage for infection to continue to thrive in the stomach which is then squirted into the small intestines, the kitchen area, causing many people to develop SIBO. 

Listen to both my gall bladder video and my video on acid reflux, where I indicate how the better way to treat acid reflux is by stimulating the flow of bile out of the gall bladder. The bile coming out of the gall bladder moves the food downward through the gut and also alkalizes the acids coming out of the stomach. So if the bile becomes thick like a sludge it might not squirt out when the stomach pours acid into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, causing the acids to turn around and move upwards into the stomach and esophagus, causing acid reflux. So in these cases we have to give all the herbs, foods and spices to thin out the bile and encourage it to move out of the gall bladder, which prevents acid reflux. This is much more effective and less risky than taking away the stomach acid.

The third reason for SIBO is lack of movement through the gut. Again, the food has to move quickly through the small intestines so infection doesn’t begin to breed in there. It is the job of the gall bladder to create two types of movement in the small intestines so the food doesn’t sit there which could cause SIBO. 

Once you swallow the food the bile flows out of the gall bladder creating one type of movement called peristalsis, which are gentle muscular contractions that push the food through.

The second type of movement caused by bile flow is called the Migrating Motor Complex, or the MMC. Our gut is working 24/7, even when we’re not eating. What goes on when you’re not eating is crucial for gut health. The migrating motor complex is a wave of electrical activity whose sole purpose is to clean your gut. It’s different from regular motility in the gut because it isn’t stimulated by the presence of food in the gut. In fact, it happens 3 hours after your last meal. When you feel your stomach growling, that is the migrating motor complex. It is known as the “housekeeping wave.”

And it turns out that it is primarily the action of the gall bladder emptying the bile that stimulates the Migrating Motor Complex. So if the bile doesn’t squirt out the way it should then the food could just sit in the gut too long, developing the pathogenic bacteria.

Again, listen to my gall bladder video to make sure you always address the flow of bile since there are many instances in one’s lifetime where it may not flow correctly. And this is true even in children and babies! So the first step here is to get the bile flowing again so it can stimulate the MMC which in turn will prevent SIBO.

Before moving on to the next reason for SIBO, I would like to add here that in Ayurveda, we recognize that when we swallow the food it has to flow downwards and eventually exit out of the body in our bowel movements. But if Vata is too high and the person is nervous, anxious, worried, rushing too much during the day, stressed, going to bed late, then in all these cases the apana, which is the subdosha of Vata which is responsible for making sure that the food always moves downwards, might flow upwards, creating lack of motility in the gut, which also causes SIBO. So here you have to make sure you always address the Vata imbalances, which could be fueling the SIBO symptoms.

The fourth cause of SIBO is that food might regurgitate from the large intestine into the small intestine, or from the “garbage area” with all the bacteria, into the sterile “kitchen area.”

Again, this could happen partly due to the apana flowing upwards. It could also happen if there are some problems with digestion anywhere higher up, in the pancreas, stomach, gall bladder, or liver. If the food doesn’t digest well, the valve which separates the small intestine from the large intestine, known as the ilieo-cecal valve, could remain open, allowing the contents of the large intestine to flow back into the small intestine causing a painful situation in the right lower quadrant and causing subsequent infection to grow in the small intestine, or SIBO.

The answer to this problem lies in fixing all the problems with digestion so that the oleo-cecal valve can work the way nature intended, sealing off the kitchen area from the garbage area.

So now you can see why just taking an antibiotic to kill the SIBO infections in the small intestine may not always work. Initially you might have some relief because you just killed the infection, but if you don’t address all these other root causes, it could grow back, which it does in the large majority of the SIBO cases.

But rest assured that Ayurveda provides us with all the remedies and treatment modalities to address all the underlying conditions mentioned here, to get the gut back the way nature intended, where it automatically knows how to prevent these types of infections from growing.

Thank you,

Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum

Rose Carol

I created Ayurveda Amritanam Learning Center to share a wealth of knowledge that I gained during my time learning from my dear friend and teacher, Ayurvedic physician, the late Vaidya Ramakant Mishra who was a master herbalist and formulator, healer, and founder of Chandika Herbal Synergies.

My experience showed me that the study and practice of Ayurveda can help anchor you through unfamiliar territory in life and keep your heart nurtured in uncertain times. The design of my course through weekly classes for nine months will give birth to not only knowledge of an ancient healing tradition of medicine but a potent tool for personal growth. Ayurveda connects you to your very own source of non-changing silent consciousness which forms the basis of good physical and mental health. If you are yearning for a program not just for intellectual knowledge but desire personal transformation and interconnectedness, then this program is for you. If you are an empath, that desires skills to help others while healing yourself, then consider this opportunity either as a structured class or self paced personal study guided by an experienced teacher and practitioner.

Our Foundational Course:  Ayurveda Amritanam’s curriculum is a foundational course as well as a course for those already familiar with Ayurveda but want to deepen their knowledge and experience with an option to audit. It’s also for those who simply want better health and spiritual growth. It’s for counselors, coaches, busy mothers, massage therapists, coaches, teachers, yoga enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to offer simple and effective tools to aid their self, family member or client’s progress and evolution. 

Ayurveda Health Coach Certificate: After the 9-month study and required practicum, you will receive a certificate of completion as an Ayurveda Health Coach. This will give you the knowledge to understand unique mind/body types, educate others in nutrition and lifestyle and support others with sleep problems, inflammatory conditions, emotional balance, digestive and elimination problems, weight balance, protection from colds and flu, skin issues, stress reduction, as well as learn to apply over 25 Ayurvedic herbal formulas.  For more information please email me at rose.carol.zivin@gmail.com or text/call 847 636 2744. Please ask me for a more detailed week by week curriculum. The month by month general curriculum can be found at www.ayurvedalearningcenter.com

Ayurveda for our Furry Friends

Dear SVA community: here is a question we received from one of our readers, and we are putting it out there for any/all who might know of ayurvedic healers for our furry friends – small and big.

“Hello!

I am a current patient of Dr. Teitelbaum and buy all of your Ayurvedic supplies… We are so thankful for Vaidya Mishra and his work!!!!! I am reaching out to ask if you know of any Ayurvedic Veterinary practitioners in the USA that have knowledge of horses? We have come to deeply trust and believe Ayurveda for our personal health, and are desperate to find counsel for the health of our horses. We are a Rocky Mountain breeding farm in KY. I know this is an unusual question, but I am hoping you have a connection! Thanks and Blessings, Reisha”

Depression… with Dr T; PLUS: Autumn Detox Anyone? And: Study Ayurveda with Rose; Also: Replay of Prana vs EMF Class! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter August 25, 2022 – #31, Vol 11

…depression…

in ayurvedic terms

Depression affects 1 in 15 adults in any given year. And one in six people will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average it first appears during the late teens to the mid-20’s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression and about one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. Symptoms of depression can vary from mild to severe and can include: feeling sad or having a depressed mood, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, changes in appetite including weight loss or gain, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, loss of energy, feeling worthless or guilty, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, thoughts of death or suicide.

It has been said that genetics may play a role, and while this may be true for all diseases and not just with depression, the real truth is that the genes we’ve inherited are actually lying dormant, but they need some triggers which we create through mistakes in diet and daily routine in order for them to wake up and allow them to manifest. So as with all diseases that we see, always remember that the underlying causes need to be addressed, and these underlying causes are usually numerous and different in each person. It’s always important to identify the mistakes you might be making which are causing your sleeping genes to wake up and start expressing themselves. This is especially true for depression. 

Many of the common treatments for depression revolve around modifying one’s brain chemistry. Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are usually the first choice of medication for treating depression. They work by slowing up the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter serotonin, a chemical which helps regulate mood and anxiety. This way the serotonin can remain in the blood stream longer, easing up the depression. It is important to know that there are numerous other medications besides the SSRIs to help alleviate symptoms of depression. These medications could be life-saving if you or your loved one is threatening suicide. But we should also take a look at the underlying causes of depression and learn how to address them so that we can either prevent the depression from coming in the first place, or if you are already on an anti-depressant, perhaps over time, with the help of your doctor, you could slowly wean off it.

As with everything else we treat in Ayurveda we always want to trace any and all imbalances first to improper digestion. Here’s the way it works: once you swallow food and it goes through the digestive tract, it has to be broken down into smaller and smaller particles until it then enters the bloodstream. From there the food spends 3-5 days in each tissue before moving on to the next tissue until all 7 tissues are nourished. The tissues are blood plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow and reproductive fluids. Now this is very important: at the end of the 7th tissue you then make a compound called Ojas. Ojas is the neurotransmitters and the hormones and gives you great stamina, strength and immunity to disease. Keep this in mind: your neurotransmitters and hormones dictate the way you feel, if you are happy or depressed, lethargic or energetic, hyper or calm. So, in order to have good Ojas or balanced hormones and neurotransmitters, first your digestion of food must be complete and the food itself must be nourishing, wholesome and freshly prepared. 

Many of the teenagers I see have poor digestion due to the high amounts of pharmaceuticals they are given from the time they are born. This is because the vaccines and antibiotics they take destroy the friendly bacteria in the gut and make the liver very hot, reactive and toxic.

And to make matters worse, the diets of our children are quite deficient, especially if the child turns towards processed foods.

And to add insult to injury, the friendly bacteria in the gut make 90% of the neurotransmitters that the brain needs to function properly. No wonder so many of our teenagers are depressed! Between their poor gut microbiome, combined with their inadequate diets. 

As just stated, when there are too many hot chemical toxins circulating through the liver it overheats the liver, which in turn makes you angry. Just ask any woman who suffers from PMS — the liver overheats right before the menstrual cycle is due, which is what makes them so angry during that time. Then once the menstrual cycle is over and the liver cools down, the emotions also cool back down to normal. As a result, many of the kids we see today are walking around with hot angry livers — no wonder they are angry and can’t control their emotions.

Then on top of all this, if the child goes to bed late — many other imbalances begin. Going to bed past 10:00 PM makes the liver even hotter and it weakens the endocrine glands — the system of glands that make hormones, such as the thyroid, the adrenals and the ovaries or testes. These glands are very delicately balanced and they need the hours of rest before midnight to rejuvenate them. The ancient doctors of India said that it is a fundamental law of nature that human beings should be asleep when the sun goes down and awake before or as the sun comes up. Breaking this very basic law exhausts the glands, you feel tired, lethargic and depressed the next day as the glands are now struggling to make their happy hormones.

In fact, walking outside as the sun comes up helps to establish one’s circadian rhythms.This allows us to get sleepy at night as more melatonin is automatically released once the sunlight enters the pupils early in the morning. And just being in the sunlight increases serotonin by 800%!!! Serotonin is what the SSRI’s are trying to keep in circulation. Just getting out in the sun everyday will help this…and without the toxicity and the side effects of the SSRI’s.

Remember the old adage: early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. So many of our patients feel so much better once they fix their digestion, go to bed by 10:00 pm, eat a wholesome, healthy diet and get out in the early morning sun everyday.

Many of our patients are vegetarian and do not consume any milk or milk products. The ancient doctors of India stated that you need some animal protein every day in your diet. So if you are a vegetarian then your animal protein would come from milk and milk products. 

But if there are no milk products in your diet you run the risk of losing your stores of Vitamin B12 which could also cause depression. 

And don’t forget: your adrenal and sex hormones are made out of cholesterol and cholesterol comes from an animal. And your thyroid gland makes its hormones out of animal protein as well. So if there are no milk products in the diet there won’t be enough raw materials to make these hormones, which could potentially result in depression. So many of our patients who present with depression have a weakness in the thyroid and adrenals since the hormones produced by these glands make us feel very upbeat and enthusiastic about life. 

Many people are giving up animal milk, such as cow’s or goat’s milk in favor of plant-based milks. While this might be OK if you are allergic to these animal’s milks, you might be interested to know that animal milk is the only food which can make Ojas the same day it is taken, in fact almost immediately when it is consumed. Any other food you can think of takes about a month to make Ojas as it slowly makes its way through each of the 7 tissues.

Always keep up your stores of Ojas. It gets depleted with over-exercise, over-work, burning the candle at both ends, stress, too much sexual activity, too much bleeding or diarrhea, lack of absorption of nutrients and a deficient diet. 

So if you keep overworking without rejuvenating your body with proper rest you’ll run the risk of depleting your Ojas and weakening your endocrine glands, which could ultimately result in depression. If you have to work long hours during the week try to spend one whole day on the weekend just resting, eating healthy foods, sitting in the sun, taking naps and allowing your body to rejuvenate and reinvigorate itself after pushing it so hard all week.

But here’s the good news: we have a huge arsenal of herbs in Ayurveda which can strengthen the weak endocrine glands, remedies to restore the friendly bacteria in the gut, and many herbs to cool down the heat in the liver. We also have a wide variety of antidepressant herbs which have been used for thousands of years before the use of the pharmaceutical SSRI’s. We even have herbal formulas to build up your Ojas!

So hopefully by following these guidelines you or your loved ones will never have to suffer depression which can decrease your quality of life tremendously. 

Thank you,

Delve Deeper into Ayurveda

Rose Carol

I created Ayurveda Amritanam Learning Center to share a wealth of knowledge that I gained during my time learning from my dear friend and teacher, Ayurvedic physician, the late Vaidya Ramakant Mishra who was a master herbalist and formulator, healer, and founder of Chandika Herbal Synergies.

My experience showed me that the study and practice of Ayurveda can help anchor you through unfamiliar territory in life and keep your heart nurtured in uncertain times. The design of my course through weekly classes for nine months will give birth to not only knowledge of an ancient healing tradition of medicine but a potent tool for personal growth. Ayurveda connects you to your very own source of non-changing silent consciousness which forms the basis of good physical and mental health. If you are yearning for a program not just for intellectual knowledge but desire personal transformation and interconnectedness, then this program is for you. If you are an empath, that desires skills to help others while healing yourself, then consider this opportunity either as a structured class or self paced personal study guided by an experienced teacher and practitioner.

Our Foundational Course:  Ayurveda Amritanam’s curriculum is a foundational course as well as a course for those already familiar with Ayurveda but want to deepen their knowledge and experience with an option to audit. It’s also for those who simply want better health and spiritual growth. It’s for counselors, coaches, busy mothers, massage therapists, coaches, teachers, yoga enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to offer simple and effective tools to aid their self, family member or client’s progress and evolution. 

Ayurveda Health Coach Certificate: After the 9-month study and required practicum, you will receive a certificate of completion as an Ayurveda Health Coach. This will give you the knowledge to understand unique mind/body types, educate others in nutrition and lifestyle and support others with sleep problems, inflammatory conditions, emotional balance, digestive and elimination problems, weight balance, protection from colds and flu, skin issues, stress reduction, as well as learn to apply over 25 Ayurvedic herbal formulas.  For more information please email me at rose.carol.zivin@gmail.com or text/call 847 636 2744. Please ask me for a more detailed week by week curriculum. The month by month general curriculum can be found at www.ayurvedalearningcenter.com

This 225-hour training includes:

  • Ancient Ayurveda tools for self-care
  • Ancient art of pulse diagnosis (Nadivigyan)
  • Over 35 relevant Ayurveda Herbs and how to use them
  • Learn Ayurveda Body Mind Assessment
  • Food as medicine with online cooking lessons
  • Coaching skills (how to work with clients)
  • Ethical and legal Issues of an Ayurveda practice
  • Seasonal Cleanse and Detox for self and others
  • A comprehensive study on Ayurvedic cosmology, theory and practice
  • Pranic Healing

3 Best-Selling Unique Ayurvedic Remedies for Cool Lustrous Eyes

Is it already “back-to-school”? Is Summer already over?! Culturally we are already gearing up for cold weather. But seasonally, Mother Nature is is only just reaching her Summer peak – soaring temperatures, dryness, and beautiful luminous summer evenings are still here for several more weeks. You will find yourself still craving more sweet, more cold, more juicy treats and meals to beat the heat and stay hydrated. In SVA terms, when the Summer season heightens before giving way to Autumn, the increased and accumulated heat in the environment and our bodies maintains our channels wide open and our physiology gets to release a lot of toxins. Many times these toxins themselves are "hot" in nature, and may get lodged in any area, further drying and aggraving pitta. The eyes are governed by Pitta subdosha (alochak pitta), and you may have experienced that your vision gets a little tired or even blurry during hotter days. Or you experience dryness or itchiness. While rinsing your face and eyes with cool water can really help, you may find you need more. Much more! Experience immediate coolness with Vaidya's eyedrops. You can use them as many times as you need during the day or night.

Love the eyedrops but still need more? Try Vaidya's Triphala ghee (with rosa centifolia). It will soothe, detox, cool off and replenish. It's an eye cream the way Mother Nature intented it. Use anytime of day or night. Wipe off or keep on. 

Your eyes still feel inflamed, hot, tired? Try the ALA lotion – perfect for addressing long-term inflammation. Apply on the orb of the eyes and the temples and gently massage in . Do it mornings after washing your face and eyes for sustained effect during the day. At night cap off with Triphala ghee. And a couple of Soma Netra drops. Your eyes will love you for it!
