ayush guidelines on how to improve immunity

Hey it’s a corona season we all are worried about this as what will be next ?  when our life will come to routine etc etc.but in midst of this we all are afraid of not falling prey to corona virus and the only shield to this is our immunity. A better and stronger immunity will not only protect us from covid 19 but also from other ailments too. Bonus of this stronger immunity would be a stronger and beautiful u! 

Ayush government have issued a general guideline on how to make our immunity stronger in view of covid 19 but at times either people are not following it or overdoing certain things which is doing more harm then benefits. So today , here I m going to explain you in details about ayush guidelines and also tell you how to follow that practically that you reap maximum benefit out of it. 

The whole ayush guideline is divided into 5 heading:

1. Food and drinks
2. Lifestyle modification 
3. Exercise and physical activity
4. Ayurvedic medicines
5. Panchkarma (to do at home)

1. Food and drinks:  

Ayush guideline: 1. Drink warm water through out the day   

Common mistakes: people are drinking too hot water throuhghout the day so it either increases pitta in pittaj prakruti people which makes them feel nauseatic .

Also, at times it erodes the outer protective  mucous membrane leading even to ulcer in mouth so instead of protecting it makes our throat more vulnerable to get infected with corona virus. 

So what one must do – we must be drinking luke warm water n not very hot water and also drinking warm water twice in a day ( early morning first thing and at night as last thing of the day) is more then enough  specially if u tend to feel nauseatic with warm water to give u sufficient protection from covid 19.  

2. Drink ayush kwath  twice a day- ayush kwath is an ayurvedic herbal tea which is little hot in potency so one should not over exceed the limit as it may lead to acidity . 

Tulasi leaves-4 parts

Dalchini (cinnamon)- 2 parts

Sunthi ( dry ginger powder) – 2 parts

Black pepper powder-1 parts

Make dry  coarse powder of all this ingredient

(except tulasi- as if it is available fresh then better) . add half tsp. of this powder to boiled 150 ml of water and stir .

Can be consumed it once or twice 

One can add jaggery/raisins/ honey to it as a sweetner and also to add more health benefits to it. 

3. Drink lots of fluids like barley water , coriander seeds water, jeera water, kokam sherbet ,gulkand sabja drink, saunf water etc .
4. Vitamin c enrich foods – all citrus fruits like lemon ,orange ,  capsicum , papaya ,  guava , drumstick ( clinically proven immunity boosting components are present in it ).
5. Cows ghee is one of the best immunity boosting food

2.lifestyle modification :  be regular and punctual in your eating time and sleeping time.

Best time to sleep is between 10 pm to 2 pm. As this 4 hours sleep is very important for immunity as in this 4 hours liver is activated and it detoxifies our body so out of this 4 hours atleast try to get 2-3 hours of sleep  so that each and every organ can be healed and restores its function to its peak.  so sleep maximum by 11 or 12 pm specially to be followed by hectic schedule people. So  irrespective of watever you eat or exercise if one does not get this 4 hours sleep one cannot build a stronger immunity as sleep forms a very crucial part for being healthy. 

Also for eating try not to binge throughout the day keep fixed time for your meal. If possible try to have 2 major meals a day n rest of the day give some rest to your’ agni’ means digestive fire. And best time to eat  the heaviest meal of the day is between 10am to 2 noon as pitta is at its optimum level to function so food will get digested properly and you wont build up toxins in your body which is the root cause of many disease.

3. Ayurvedic medicines:

 1. chywanprash – one need to eat  daily one tbsp. of chywanprash approx. 20-30 gm. a day early morning empty stomach. One must preferably not consume anything after chywanprash for atleast 30 min. 

For diabetes – one can have jaggery based  chywanprash 

2. one can have clove powder with honey 

3. kofol chewable tablet ( charak company ) can be suckled  1 tab. 4 to 6 times a day for relieving congestion in throat.

4. special sitopaladi churna ( 5 gms ) can be taken with honey .

( ideally medicines  need to be taken under ayurvedic doctors supervision only ) 

4) exercise – daily some kind of pranayama  like anuloma viloma , omkar etc ,asana or any physical  activity   for  atleast half an hour a day to keep your hormones balanced. 

5. panchkarma – ideally panchkarma procedures  need to be done in panchkarma centres under experienced  doctor for detoxing one self. But here  I am mentioning modified version of those panchkarmas which can be done at home. 

1.Nasyam – pratimarsha nasyam -  take 2 drops of  til oil /coconut oil , ghee in ur palms and with your little finger apply inside your nostrils. If this is not possible then you can put 1 -2 dro p of oil in each nostril in tilted head position . 

For better results one can use anutail, shadbindu oil.

2. Gandush (oil pulling/ oil swishing)- take 2 tbsp. oil preferably  cold pressed coconut oil / til oil / olive oil in your mouth and swirl it in your mouth  for approx.5- 20 min. one can add pinch of salt to it. If you have any oral issues then you can use  irimedadi oil for oil pulling.  It helps to cure respiratory disoreders, boost metabolism , helps in detoxification and good for oral care. 

3. Gargles – use one fourth tsp. haldi powder and a pinch of salt in 1 glass of warm water and gargle with that once a day.( optional : one can even add jestimadh powder ¼ tsp. to this for extra benefit)

If congestion is there then you can use dispirin water to gargle. To make dispirin water dissolve 2 tab. In half glass water and use this to gargle.

Hope I have given you lots of information on ayush guidelines and more . Do follow that and live long ,healthy life.

 Stay  safe, stay healthy and beautiful forever…………

(DIY ) Make Anti cellulite oil at home and loose upto 10cm.in one month and get firm toned skin 

Hello everone I am doctor rachana and today I am going to share a very simple ,yet effective formula of diy anticellulite oil at home which I use on my patients to get rid of cellulite , loose upto 10 cm in one month and get a firmer toned skin

Before going to its formula lets understand what is cellulite?

Cellulite is dimpled lumpy  subcutaneous fat that appears just below the skin and can be easily pinched in between your fingers.

90% of women and 10% of men have cellulite irrespective of being overweight or fit.

What causes cellulite?

Faulty food habbits ,sedentary lifestyle and stress produces toxins and fat.

When this toxins are not flushed out of body due to poor circulation and lack of exercise they cause a chemical reaction which puts a hard coating around the normally soft fat cells which push through the layer of collagen or connective tissues under the skin giving it a lumpy and dimple look on your skin.

Most commonly it affects buttocks, thighs, abdomen and arms.

Scientifically we can get rid of cellulite by 2 ways-

1.by increasing blood circulation of that part

2.by using something of scraping nature to break up the hard rim of these fat cells and flush it out.

Our anticellulite massage works in both the ways

So lets start making our anti cellulite oil

For this we need

sesame or til oil

olive oil

lemon grass oil 10 drops

peppermint oil

juniper oil oil

capsicum oil

measuring cup or beaker

empty bottle

  

In measuring beaker  take  50ml.til or sesame oil , 50ml olive oil and then add essential oils like lemongrass oil 10drops 10 drops peppermint oil,10drops juniper berry oil 10 drops capsicum oil.

Be cautious while handling capsicum oil as it may give burning sensation to your skin and eyes. Mix it properly using a spoon. you will see the change in colour .when it is properly mixed it turns into red colour oil. Then transfer it in bottle and cover it with the lid your anti cellulite oil is ready .If you are making it for commercial purpose for selling then you can even add red colour to it for making it more appealing to people for its fat burning properties.I normally dont add any additional colour. 

your anticellulite oil is ready.

Use this oil and say bye bye to cellulite and also loose upto 10 inches and get a smoother firmer skin.

Now lets understand how to use this oil:

Before applying this oil rub your body with a shower brush or loofah or a thick towel and then using lot of oil massage it properly 

Use it twice a day in morning before bath and at night before sleeping.

For best results

1.just don’t apply oil instead do technical fat loss massage which is a vigorous massage in an upward direction towards heart to improve blood flow , break the hardened fat cells and stop building of toxins in such a way that it leaves your skin tingling and rosy with oxygenated blood. You can also take help of some ayurvedic  therapist to do it on you.

If you want to know diy anti cellulite or fat loss massage step by step then do comment below I will definately share that in my next blog.

2.Anti cellulite oil massage should be followed by anticellulite or fat loss powder massage also known as udvartanam in Ayurveda

I will share the formula of  anti cellulite powder for powder massage in my next Blog

3.Do eat healthy,exercise or walk and also take my weight loss drink which I have mentioned in my previous Blog.
