The three - body, mind and soul - are like a tripod. The world stands by their combination; in them everything abides. This combination exits for the sake of the Purusha or conscious being. It is the subject matter of Ayurveda for which the teaching of Ayurveda have been revealed.

5.).. Mouth Ulcers - The Ayurveda approach: Edited by Gilgi Hauser
This is a common enough complaint to
make life miserable
for the sufferers who can neither eat nor speak! There is a reddening of the
oral cavity - the lips, gums, and mucosa of the cheek, tongue and palate.
There is a burning sensation and an intolerance to pungent foods. There may also
be the occasional ulcer with its characteristic yellow and white center,
surrounded with red rays.
This illness is
generally easy to treat by self help method and our suggested home remedy
includes 500 grams of Khadir (powder of Acacia catechu) mixed
with a glass of water to be used for gargling. Decoction of
Triphala will also do the trick. Another remedy is to locally
apply a paste of Tankan or Suvarnagairik in Ghee.
Mouth ulcers are commonly accompanied by anorexia and constipation. One tsf of Triphala or one tsp. of castor oil helps to relieve constipation. If this proves ineffective, remedies suggested for Agnimandya can be followed. Kindly visit http://chakrapaniayurveda.com/newsletter.html to know more on Agnimandhya.
If the ulcers are
repetitive, one must look for the irritated Dosha and then treat and
balance it.
If
Vata Dosha is upset, then the lips and mouth becomes fissured
and ulcers occur in the oral cavity (by the time one ulcer heals another is
ready to harass you); one also is unable to tolerate cold water. In such a situation,
one can apply a paste in which Pippli (Piper longum),
cardamom and rock salt are mixed together with Ghee,
cream or milk. Sometimes one can
get immediate relief by gargling with sesame
oil.
If it is the Pitta
Dosha that is upset, then a burning sensation in the mouth and a bitter taste in
the mouth early in the morning are the main symptoms. Gargling with
Tiphala decoction proves effective. Chewing the leaves of
Jai (Jasminum grandifalorum) or locally applying a paste made
by mixing Suvarnagairik in Ghee is helpful.
On the other hand, if in the morning the mouth gets filled with thick saliva, or if the ulcers are covered by mucous secretions, it is indicative of a Kapha Dosha abnormality. Gargling with a mixture of honey and Triphala decoction is useful. If this problem persists, a light diet is recommended. Sour, salty foods (like pickles, papadam etc.) and pungent items should be avoided, as should food items like curds, milk, tea, jaggery or beans be avoided too.
One thing to be aware of is that
Aphthous mouth ulcers are a sign of some general illness and should not be
treated symptomatically. It is important to find and treat the root cause. The
best way at individual level is to try the suggested remedies in this article
for 3 to 4 days and if you find that there is no improvement in mouth ulcer,
kindly consult your nearby Ayurveda physician if you wish an expert advice from
Ayurveda.

7.).. Interesting Health News:
Temple Stay May Help People With Mental Disorders
BANGALORE,
INDIA: A short stay in a temple or place of worship can actually improve your
mental health, a study has shown. Researchers in India found that a six-week
stay at a Hindu temple can produce the same improvement in people with severe
psychiatric disorders as a month-long course of standard drugs. According to
science journal New Scientist, a team led by Mr. Ramanathan Raguram of the
National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore studied all
31 people who came for help and stayed at the Muthuswamy temple between June and
August, 2000. The patients were evaluated by a trained psychiatrist. Six were
diagnosed with delusional disorders, 23 with paranoid schizophrenia and two with
bipolar disorder. At the end of their stay, their scores on a test called the
Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale had improved by an average of nearly 20 percent.
No specific rituals or ceremonies intended to improve mental health were
performed in the temple. The patients attended a simple morning prayer for 15
minutes, and then spent the rest of the day helping out with routine temple
work. Mr. Assen Jablensky, an expert on mental disorders at the University of
Western Australia, noted that such findings were not specific to India, or any
particular faith. For example, he said that a "treatment protocol" in many ways
similar to the healing temple of Muthuswamy has been practiced at the
traditional therapeutic village of Aro in Nigeria.

UK: A study conducted by gynecologist Dr. Claus Yding Anderson and his team at the University Hospital of Copenhagen on 11,800 infants born in Japan and Denmark over a seven-month period has some interesting results. Three control groups were chosen based on the consumption of cigarettes consumed around the time of conception and thereafter - men and women who did not smoke, those who smoked up to 20 cigarettes a day, and those who smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day. The male to female ratio was determined as each of the infants was categorized into one of the three groups. As a general rule, when mothers and fathers smoked, they were more likely to produce a girl child. The article says, "The sex ratio was 1.21 boys to every girl in the group in which neither parent smoked. It fell to 0.82 boys to every girl in the group where both mother and father smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day. The ratio of male births was also reduced to 0.98 boys to every girl among couples where the mother was a non-smoker, but the father smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day." Dr. Anderson sites two reasons for the results, "We have found that the male sperm cell is more susceptible to smoking. Or it could be that smoking affects the implantation of the male conceptus in the uterus." The article also goes on to say that men and women with high stress jobs such as jet pilots and divers, also produce more girl babies. However, on the planet Earth as a whole, the birth of boys is slightly greater than the birth rate of girls.
