Very few people will know about varicose veins. Before knowing about this, let us know what the function of the veins is. In the circulatory system, veins are the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. Oxygenated blood flows (oxygen mixed) in some veins except pulmonary and umbilical vein. Most of the veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissue (tissue) back to the lungs (depletion of oxygen). The structure and function of the veins are completely separate from the arteries, the veins carry blood from the tissues to the heart.
Varicose veins
Have you ever noticed the blue veins visible under our skin? Perhaps you never thought that these veins could be painful. Actually, the veins under the surface of our skin start growing increasing in size, these enlarged veins are called varicose veins. Any vein or vein may be varicose vein.
What is varicose veins?
Veins carry blood from tissues to the heart. Veins have to carry blood from the legs to the heart in contrast to gravity. There are valves within the veins to aid this upward flow. The valve only allows blood to move upward. When the valves become weak or are unable to close, the blood does not ascend upwards and sometimes flows downwards. In such a situation, the veins swell and become elongated as the length increases. This is called Varicose Veins.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
When the veins start swelling due to lack of proper circulation of blood, there are other symptoms besides this symptom which are due to varicose veins-
Blue or deep purple veins
Feeling heaviness in feet.
Muscular cramps
Lower leg swelling
Swollen or twisted veins that look like ropes
Pain after sitting or standing for a long time
itching around one or more veins
Causes of Varicose Veins
As discussed earlier, the veins carry blood from the tissues to the heart and when the blood is unable to move upwards, the veins begin to swell. Accurate diagnosis is very important for effective treatment. According to Ayurveda, the imbalance of Vata (air and space) plays an important role in the formation of varicose veins. The role of blood and bile (heat) also cannot be ignored. Thus, treatment becomes an important part of maintaining the balance of Vata.
Apart from these, there are many reasons for having varicose veins, such as-
Increasing age – The risk of varicose veins may increase significantly with aging as the flexibility of the veins may decrease with increasing age, which can increase the stretch. In addition, due to worsening of the valve of the veins, the blood going towards the heart may flow in the opposite direction, causing blood to accumulate in the veins and become varicose vein.
Chances are more likely in women– Women are more likely to have varicose vein. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and periods increase the risk of varicose vein. Hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills may also increase this risk.
Obesity – Increased weight can put more pressure on the nerves, which can increase the chances of getting varicose veins.
Family History – If a family member has a problem with varicose veins, then the risk of varicose veins increases in other members as well.
Standing or sitting in the same position for a long time – If sitting or standing in the same position continuously, stretch in the veins may increase and varicose veins may be the problem due to not having the blood flow properly. There is also a possibility of having eczema or wound in the skin due to having varicose veins.
Prevention Tips for Varicose Veins
In order to avoid varicose veins or to make the condition better when it occurs, it is necessary to make some changes in lifestyle and diet, as well as some things to be avoided.

Poor digestion is the cause of many problems in the body. When you are constipated, there is fatigue, tiredness and headache that accompany it. Similar is the case with other disorders of the stomach. Vetiver consumption can help in maintaining a normal digestive system functioning. It can help in curing acidity, belching as well as burning sensation. In summer seasons, a cool drink is made out of Vetiver roots which not only cools down the body but also helps in providing relief from diarrhoea, indigestion and fever.
Anti-Inflammatory
Ushira is a cool herb and it is its cooling effect which gives it its anti-inflammatory property. It has the ability to soothe all types of inflammations, but it works best on inflammations related to circulatory and nervous systems. These include sunstroke and dehydration which are both extremely dangerous. They usually occur together and can even cause death. It is recommended to drink a mango-khus sharbat when affected by sunstroke.
Works On Wounds
When affected by a wound, insect bite or rashes; use Vetiver. Its antiseptic property ensures that there is no buildup of bacteria or other pathogens on open wounds. In fact, Vetiver is blessed with a very special healing property. When applied on wounds, it gives impetus to the process of formation of new tissues. This means that the wounds fill up much more quickly and surprisingly they do not even leave unwanted scars. This is one of the reasons why Vetiver oil is applied in different situations like pregnancy stretch marks, allergies and even burns.
Vetiver As An Antioxidant
Antioxidant substances are those substances which help in reducing the buildup of oxidative stress in the body by washing away the free radicals that accumulate inside the body. These free radicals are quite dangerous as they can lead to the formation of malignant tumours which take the form of cancer. Vetiver is packed with a number of antioxidant elements and keeps the body free of free radicals.
Induces Calmness
Vetiver is a ‘nervine’; which means a tonic for nerves. It can help in easing out nervous system disorders by strengthening the neural connections. Vetiver can be helpful in providing relief from epilepsy, hysteria and even Parkinson’s disease. Being a powerful nerve tonic, Vetiver also helps in relieving the buildup of stress and anxiety. It is an amazing calmness inducing herb. Vetiver contains compounds like vetiselinenol, vetivenene, khusimol, khusimone and alpha- and beta-vetivone. These compounds have antioxidative, anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects which make Vetiver a potent herb to cure anxiety, depression and even dementia. This is the reason it is also used in naturotherapy. So in case you encounter an emotional outburst or are feeling very low, pop in some Vetiver and see the effects for yourself.
For Better Sexual Health
People suffering from sexual debility should know that there might be nothing wrong in your physiology but psychology. This means that at times the brain might not be able to send signals correctly which leads to poor libido. Ushira which is used to make cool beverages in the summer season can help improve your libido. Since Vetiver is a nerve tonic, it strengthens the neural connections and being a calming agent too, it significantly decreases the production of cortisol which is responsible for creating stress in the body. Further, it stimulates the brain to secrete sex hormones. Vetiver is equally helpful in males and females alike.
Problems Of The Urinary Tract
Urinary tract problems are especially prevalent in females because their urinary tract is quite narrow and provides an easy passage for the pathogens to enter deep inside and cause infection. Vetiver has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and it can help in reducing the inflammation of the inner layer of the urethra, bladder or urinary tract.
Ushira For A Sound Sleep
A number of sleeping disorders plague many people’s lives. Sleeping disorders like insomnia and apnea are quite perilous and can wreak havoc in a person’s life. Caused due to the malfunctioning of the respiratory system or central or peripheral nervous system, these disorders result in loss of sleep which means the person continuously feels tired and fatigued. They can even cause malfunctioning of other organs as sleep is important for the smooth functioning of the organs of the body. If you are affected with any sleep disorder, you must consider using Vetiver. Its regular usage can help in changing your breathing patterns and reducing snoring by activating the olfactory centres in the brain. Being a sedative, Vetiver also calms the nervous system and helps in inducing deep sleep.

Various factors are responsible for the development of autoimmunity. Here are few reasons that are responsible for autoimmunity.
Aggravations of All the doshas can occur when a person consumes food during indigestion, not following the deistic rules, intake of incompatible food and drinks, eating when the previous food is not digested or with out feeling hungry, wrong combination of foods, can cause increases in the aggravation of all the dosha’s
Impairment of the biological fire (agni) – When the deistic rules of ayurveda is ignored repeatedly it will lead to the impairment of the digestive fire. The optimal level of digestive fire is required to maintain the normalcy of the body. When the digestive becomes impaired it hampers the process of digestion and nourishment to the tissues. The weak digestive fire leads to the improper digestion of the food and causes a toxic metabolite called ama. This is form of toxin which can not be digested accumulates in the body and leads to the formation of autoimmunity.
Unwholesome habits and activities can lead to the formation of the toxic materials. Depending on the severity of the toxins can directly impact the tissues causing the process of the autoimmunity or the toxins can aggravate the dosha’s which intern disturbs the tissues and immunity causing the process of autoimmunity.
Treatment principle followed in treating autoimmune diseases
- Correction in the diet: Our health depends on what we eat. The consumption of unwholesome food, having food with out considering the appetite, having food in improper time etc…. will hamper the digestive digestive fire. The weak digestive fire worsen the digestive process leading to the production of toxic metabolites which is known as ‘ama’. The ama which circulates all over the body starts impacting the functions of immune system. So the first step in treating an autoimmune disease starts with the correcting the diet itself.

- Medication: There are certain ayurvedic medications which can help to boost the immunity. But one thing that you need to keep in mind is it will work only other parameters are followed like right diet, lifestyle modification, purification etc..
- Purification of the body: Purification of the body through certain therapies like panchakarma will also help to eliminate the factors that are responsible for reducing the immunity. Removal of the aggravated doshas, accumulation of toxins will help the body to function effectively to enhance the immunity.
- Rasayana Treatment: Rasayana therapy is the one which helps to nourish all the tissues to work optimally. They are administered only when the body is purified. Rasayana treatment also works as protective shield to prevent the reoccurrence of the diseases again and again,
Who will have strong immunity?
Immunity depends on the equilibrium of the doshas, healthy status of the tissues and proper formation and expulsion of waste from the body. In same way a healthy status of the body is also maintained by the stars of immunity. There are various factors that are responsible for having good immune system are

Headache is one among the most common reasons patients seek medical attention, on a global basis

Migraine is the 2nd most common primary headache, also known as ‘Hemi crania’ , means ‘half of the head’ It affects 15% of women and 6% of men over a period of 1 year.

All the Panchakarma procedures are indicated for migraine however Nasya Karma plays a vital role in disintegrating the pathology of the disease.
The vitiated doshas alleviated by Upvasadi langhana and digestive drugs do at a time get aggravated but those eliminated by Panchakarma do not recure. So Panchakarma leads to complete cure according to type of prognosis i.e. Sadhya, Krichasadhya, Yapya, Anupkrama etc.
The doshas can be well compared with trees. Unless the tree is uprooted from its root, it will grow (in spite of branches. Such is the case with vitiated doshas. They go on causing diseases unless they are eliminated from their root.

Snehana Karma
• Use of Uttam Matra of Chatuh Sneha
• Jeerna ghrita paana

Snehapana
Sneha acts as a solvent to remove the obstruction by dissolving Doshasin it, resulting in the removal of Srotorodha. After proper Snehanaall cells of the body becomes completely saturated with fats. the fat material comes out to extra-cellular fluid by osmosis process.

MOOD SWING (bipolar disorder)
- October 15, 2020
- Posted by Dr. Vaidya Karanvir Singh
- 0 Comment(s)
There is no specific reason for our mood swing! Everyone’s mood is disturbed by different bells. Like when I talk about myself, if my wipes run before someone dries, then my mood gets very bad! Likewise, there are different reasons for everyone’s mood to swing. However, in addition to hormone imbalance, problems such as mental disorders can also be responsible for mood swings. So first we have to understand what happens after mood swings?
What is Mood Swing?
Mood swing means ‘bipolar disorder’. A sudden or excessive change of mind is called mood swing. That is, when the mind suddenly goes from moments of happiness and ecstasy to extreme grief or depression or any other emotion, that state is called mood swing. In some cases mood changes are also reactions of your environment or circumstances. But in other cases it can also happen without any obvious reasons.
According to experts, this is a kind of ‘biological disorder’, which requires a person to deal with family and friends. However, in most of the cases, the problem of mood swings is now treated and it can be cured with medication. But in spite of all this we should not take it lightly.
Symptoms of Mood Swing
- Needless unhappiness
- Loss of energy
- Lack of activeness
- Lack of desire
- Loss of confidence
- Irritability in nature
- Tiredness all the time
- Excessive hunger
- Insomnia
- Irregular menstruation
- Breathlessness
Mood swing results
In practical terms, no one likes a ‘moody’ person very much. Due to his behavior, people either avoid him or live by drag. So if any of you are a victim of ‘mood disorder’, then know that you will have to struggle even more to live a normal life.
Impact on personal life
People who are prone to mood swings frequently, often have tension in their home. Why? Because the family members are left in the same rage that they do not know what is good and what is bad. If one of the parents is like this, then this has a bad effect on the home environment and the children. You feel yourself ‘Miss Fit’ in any environment. You feel ‘miss fit’ in any environment and this feeling makes you more upset.
How to Handle Mood Swings
Eat Healthy by eating healthy
It is a hundred percent true that whatever we eat has a direct impact on our health and health. In a way we can see ‘Sirat’ by connecting it with our mood. Even though we are very happy with eating, eating and cooking, we cannot deny that such a diet does not contribute to our health. So take limited amount of sugar, carbohydrate, fat etc. in your diet. Eat more magnesium-rich foods in food, such as bananas. Also increase the amount of vitamin C in the diet, vitamin C provides energy to the body and energetic person is naturally happy.
Exercise Daily
If women look good, then half the mood is corrected in the same way, if the rest is praised by someone ! So my friends, if there is a problem of poor mood, then make daily exercise a part of your life. Exercise increases the secretion of ‘endorphin hormone’ in the body. This hormone not only improves the mood, plus it also leads to good sleep, and when 8 hours of restful sleep, the mood will automatically recover. Why are you cool idea!
Drink plenty of water! (Drink Plenty Of Water!)
There is a saying ‘Bin pani sub suna’. So it is something that a person who drinks water without thirst does not have half the disease. Because water not only quenches our thirst, but also cleanses our body from inside. When the mind is very bad, or does not feel good, then take a short bath with hot or cold water according to the weather, you will feel good immediately. Apart from this, make Shikanji and drink it comfortably with each sip. Shikanji is considered a ‘mood twister’ anyway. This will also calm the mind and the body will get energy, so it is different!
Music will create mood (Listen Good Music)
If exercise is effective in correcting the mood, then good music act as magic.When the mind is unnecessarily depressed, then good music works to lift the mood. But if you are also fond of dancing, then ‘Sohne Pe Suhaga’. Putting a nice dance number, when the dance is done without any special dance steps, right? Till sweating, until exhausted, breathlessness… there is nothing lighter and better than that feeling.
Try Some Good Aroma
We all know that a good smell, that is, not only relieves fatigue but also acts as a ‘mood upliftment’. So whenever you feel dull, sprinkle room freshener in the house. Decorate fresh aromatic flowers. This idea may sound strange, but good smell or fragrance works to calm our restless mind, which makes us suddenly feel good. So keep the aroma candle etc. in the house, it will cure your bad mood quickly.
Avoid Negativity
Although someone has rightly said, ‘Blasphemy is a big juice’, but when one’s own mood is not good, then people should stay away from such people and their negative vibes. Because to be entangled means to trouble oneself. Instead, choose people who can make you laugh, keep you happy, who have a habit of looking for the good, not your shortcomings. You know, you will be happy by being in the midst of happy people, as well as your confidence will also remain.
Get better sleep
If too much gold is bad for health, less gold is worse. If you are sleeping for 7-8 hours, then it is fine, but less sleep creates problems for health. Because one or two days is fine, but after that, irritability in nature, needless anger starts. So get into the habit of sleeping prematurely. This panacea is the cure for mood swings. If you have a good mood in the morning, then there is no stopping the day from getting better.
AYURVEDIC VIEW IN BIPOLAR DISORDER
Bipolar disorder manifests due to imbalance of the physical doshas vata, pitta, and kapha and the mental properties satva, rajas and tamas.
Ayurvedic herbs used for bipolar disorder are adaptogenic in nature. They are equally valuable for mania or depression. The intent is not to force the brain out of a depressive or a manic episode by providing herbal uppers or downers but to balance the doshas and to normalize the production of neurotransmitters.

The system of medicine of Ayurveda is completely different from the modern system of medicine (allopathy). This therapy does not directly attack any disease or its bacteria, rather it aims to strengthen the immunity of the patient so that diseases or defects or other factors are all eradicated by themselves.
There are many diseases that, even after treatment, they again and again flourish in the body. To eliminate such diseases, the body needs to be modified from inside. In Ayurveda, to prevent and treat these diseases, Elimination Therapy, which is the healing process of modification, is called Panchakarma-therapy. Ayurveda says that the 5 elements (the earth, water, fire, sky and air) of a human body are made up of the same elements. When there is a disturbance in the ratio of these 5 elements in the body, problems arise. Ayurveda brings these elements back into normalcy and in this way diseases are diagnosed. Panchakarma is done for arthritis, paralysis, stomach diseases, sinus, migraine, cervical spondylitis, sciatica, BP, diabetes, liver disorders, joint pain, eye and intestinal diseases etc.
Panchakarma
Panchakarma is considered to be the special medical method of Ayurveda. It is used for detoxification and rejuvenation of the body. By this medical method, all three physical defects: Vata, Pitta and Kapha are brought to normal state and are removed from the body. Different types of processes are used to remove various chemical and toxic elements that contaminate the various body parts and blood. There are five karma predominant in these processes. That’s why this particular method is called ‘Panchakarma’.
In this method, the body is purified by taking out the toxins (harmful substances) present in the body. Disease is also prevented with this. It is the body’s purification activity which is also beneficial for a healthy human being. The principle of Ayurveda is: to cure the patient’s disease and to maintain the health of a healthy person. Panchakarma therapy is best for both of these purposes of Ayurveda. That is why Panchakarma is considered to be the best therapy not only for physical diseases but also for the treatment of mental diseases.
It consists of five major karmas but two pre-karmas are also necessary before starting them. These are lubrication and sweat. Through these two different processes, the doshas prevailing in the body are made able to get out.
According to Pradhan Karma the following are:
- Vomit (Vaman) 2. Purgation(Virechan) 3. Asthapan vasti 4. anuvasana vasti 5. Nasya
It is to be noted here that according to the surgical scriptures, with the title Vasti, Aasthana and Anusavana Vasti have been considered as the third Pradhan Karma and the fifth Pradhan Karma has been considered as ‘RAKTMOSKSHAN.
Panchakarma Method:
Pre work
- Lubrication(SNEHAN): The word affection refers to snoring of the body. Lubrication is done on the body by ablution (massage) of aliphatic substances etc. or by drinking.

These four major affection (lubrication) are used under lubrication therapy:
- Ghee
