If anyone is sick, consult a doctor if needed, This article is only a reminder of our India's ancient heritage, and in no way advice to use, or not use any of the information here. The Chinese researchers have been doing research with ancient traditional medicines, some used by other ancient cultures, like in Egypt, China, and of course in India. At the present time, it seems what seems to help the most against this virus is rather a combination of different herbs and roots, in different amounts, also China is not releasing information about one of the ingredients of this promising formula of a potential cure, also most important is the quantity of each of the ingredients that makes the formula of the medication, next comes the appropriate dosage for each individual, this depends on the age, weight, and physical condition of each patient and their personal medical history, including their family medical history to find out if any diseases run in families, also if each patient has any allergies, then the appropriate dosage of a particular medicine is prescribed. The best way to prevent getting sick, or contract any disease is first, to stay healthy, and keep our immunity up. The old Vedic way is really the best. Follow a healthy diet, get enough sleep and rest, also exercise, and according to the Vedas, meditation is helpful too. 

Since Christopher Columbus discovered America, (as far as we know) the bad habit of using tobacco did not exist. Columbus crew, were surprised to see the natives rolling up leaves of the tobacco plant igniting the tip, and inhaling the smoke, since then this bad habit had taken the lives of many smokers. In Vedic times there was no smoking, the lungs of the people were healthier than today's people, smoking, air pollution, working in mines and dust storms in the deserts damage our lungs, and at this time of the Corona Virus pandemic, is most important to protect our lungs, and overall health. This new virus is different that the ones in the past. According to the sources of public information, TV, radio newspapers, and magazines, this virus could infect the same patient twice, also some survivors had damaged their lungs, a few patients had more problems even after recovering, as the Media says, this pandemic event has the potential of changing our lives. Follow the recommendations of frequently washing the hands often, and vigorously at least 22 seconds, not touching eyes, ears, mouth and nose, cover your mouth and nose when sneezing, promptly dispose the Kleenex, after blowing the nose, as well as cough secretions. Stay away from sick people, and stay at home, wearing a mask helps too. We wish good health to all our fans, and their family. Stop smoking, now!! Protect your lungs. 

Ancient chinese medicine and Ayurveda: 

As per a report of The Economic Times, Manoj Kesari, advisor with the Ayush ministry said, “Traditional systems of medicine have always helped in boosting the immunity of the body. Helping in the repair of old cells, and working for the overall well being. We have never said this would kill the Covid-19 virus, but research has shown that to resist a wide range of viruses and bacteria, the immunity of the body has to be strengthened."

China is applying its centuries-old traditional medicine to patients infected by corona virus epidemic, a senior health official said. Treatment in Wuhan Hospitals integrates Ancient chinese medicine, formally known as TCM, with Modern drugs, said Wang Hesheng, the current Health Commission head in Hubei, the area at the center of the outbreak of the virus.  He said that TCM was already applied to more than half of the confirmed cases in Hubei. “Our efforts have shown some good result,” Wang said at a press conference on Saturday, without elaborating.

Ayurvedic Tips:

As per our home Ayurvedic remedies such as tulsi, neem, raw garlic, raw ginger, spinach, raw turmeric, kala jeera, methi, banana, lemon, green beans, dals, home made chenna from cow milk, ashwagandha as per expert's advice, honey (people should avoid having honey who are suffering from blood sugar and diabetes) can help to improve immunity, especially in persons 60 years of age or older with a history of diabetes, hypertension, etc., who are susceptible to disease and infections easily. Eat any above mentioned food, after getting up every morning, on an empty stomach, and then drink a glass of water. Do Pranayam and Yoga every morning at least for 20 minute. This will strengthen the functional capacity of your lungs and will make you tension free. Little more exercise in evening.

According to Indian Ayurveda, every person should be aware of the body from day one. Therefore, Ayurveda says, before knowing this Universe, man must know his body and mind first. Because according to Aurveda, the infinite universe is hidden in the human body. According to Ayurveda, at this moment, these are the practices that the common people should make. The immunity level of the human body cannot be increased in a single day, this requires a long period of precision. At the moment, however, some good habits and diets, can help people to increase immunity power to some extent. Avoid smoking, exercising regularly to maintain a healthy weight, avoid alcohol and cold drinks, get enough sleep, practice correct hand-washing and oral hygiene. Follow the recommendations of frequently washing the hands often, and vigorously at least 22 seconds, not touching eyes, ears, mouth and nose, cover your mouth and nose when sneezing, promptly dispose the Kleenex, after blowing the nose, as well as cough secretions.

Mantra and Health:

Everything in nature is, at its finest degree, sound or vibration. Every plant, every herb so each part of your body has its own specific resonance. Yoga and mantras are the gateway to balanced mind and body. After bathing every morning, reciting these mantras can give you good results, as a blessing of nature.

  1. The Pranam mantra of Lord Ganesha.
  2. The pranam mantra of Lord Surya.
  3. The pranam mantra of Maa Durga or Maa Kali.
  4. The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.
  5. The Aditya Hridayakam.
  6. The Dhanvantri Mantram. 
  7. Pranam mantra of Ashvini Kumar (Om Ashvini Kumaraaya Namah!!)

Mircoorganisms in Ancient India:

If anyone thinks that the ancient Indian sages did not mention the germs or bacteria or viruses in Ayurveda, or that they were unaware of the microorganisms and their effects on the human body, then something would be wrong. The ancient Indian sages were well aware of microorganisms and their character, and their evidence was found in several books of Ayurveda. Scientists revealed the presence of Bacteria in the 17th century AD, but they were recognized as minute organisms, not visible to the naked eye, but destroyed by a blink of an eyelid. You will not believe if I say, micro-organisms such as Bacteria, Virus, Fungi, etc. are mentioned in the Hindu mythology epic, Mahabharata (Sloka reference to Santi Parva, Mahabharata), written more than 6000 years ago.

सूक्ष्मयॊनीनि भूतानि तर्क गम्यानि कानि चित
पक्ष्मणॊ ऽपि निपातेन येषां सयात सकन्धपर्ययः
Transaltion: There are several species that are so tinyand can not be seen by human eye that their presence can only be inferred. They are killed by the dropping of the eyelids alone.

In charaka samhita , we can see various types of Krimis mentioned there. And even in Vrksuyarveda (Ancient Indian Botany) written by Rishi Parashara. According to Charaka, “Krimis can be found in the blood vessels. They are microscopic(Anavah) in size circular or disc (Vrtta)” In relation with leprosy and brain disorders, Charaka referred to the existence of bacteria under the concept krimis. Moreover, Susruta also supports the microbial aetiology of leprosy.

Again, we note that Madhava Kar, the 8th century writer of Ayurvedic Pathology, has codified this knowledge of bacteria in the aetiology of infections in a very detailed way in his treatise, Madhava  Nidan.  Therefore, in the portion on krimi Nidan (bacterial pathology) Madhava preliminary makes two specific categories of krimi according to what is contained in the body, internally and externally. Instead he makes more groupings as they originate in excreta such as Sweat (Vahirmalajah), lymphatic tissue (kapha), blood (Asrk) and, eventually, faeces. This classification of Madhava includes all twenty varieties of krimis, as defined by Charaka. In addition, Madhava Kar identified numerous pathological characteristics that occur with bacterial infections in general and indicates that there may be fever, paleness, various types of pain, chest disease, lack of sexual control, coma and food apathy. 

Next, it is interesting to notice there the awareness of communicable diseases held by the ancient Ayurvedic experts. In this sense, Susruta notes, when dealing with leprosy pathology, that several diseases may be transmitted from one sick person to another through co-occurring and other types of body contracts, through eating in association with or from the same plate, by using the same seat and from the same location, from wearing apparels. 

In ancient India, when this subject of communicable diseases was spread from house to house, the practice of untouchability began in ancient society of India, which later became a superstition. And gave rise to unpleasant mindset in society, but this practice was born, through medical discoveries of microorganism in ancient India. Animal studies and micro-organisms both pathogenic and non pathogenic, developed as science began to be practiced in ancient India China and Egypt. The ancient sages have mentioned the use of various types of herbal solutions, holy Ganga water (Antibacterial Nature of Ganga Water), goumutra, in their ancient text manuscripts, to destroy harmful micro-organisms. But with these solvents there are references to soap used in ancient times. Surprised? That soap was not made in a factory like today, but was given to people by nature. At that time people were unable to produce large quantities of soap. But the exception of soap was hidden in nature. And it is Ritha Fruit or Indian soapberry or soap nut, which was originated in India.

Stay away from sick people, and stay at home, wearing a mask helps too. We wish good health to all our fans, and their family. Stop smoking, now!! Protect your lungs.
