Ayurveda’s Primary Purification

Ayurveda’s 5,000 year old wisdom gives us great insight into purification and healing. Purification is the process of eliminating imbalances from the past, which cause the current unbalanced condition. One of the basic laws of Ayurveda is that when one or another of the forces of nature becomes disturbed through excess or deficiency, disease is established.

In Ayurveda, our natural state is one of health, happiness and an inner sense of well-being. Health is defined as the body being clear of toxins, the mind is at peace, emotions are calm and happy, wastes are efficiently eliminated and organs are functioning normally.

 In a busy, stressful and toxic world, our physical and mental systems accumulate toxins causing deterioration in bodily functioning. These can evolve into serious specific diseases, ultimately damaging an individual’s health and wellness.

Panchakarma can help by reversing these negative effects of daily living. It can restore your natural state of health and wellness by cleansing your body of toxins, bringing balance into your system and improving bodily function. It can also help you sustain this process by making positive changes in lifestyle.

The Panchakarma therapeutic prrcess appears quite simple in its application. Its effects are powerful and effective.It is a unique, natural, holistic, health-giving series of therapeutic treatments that cleanse the body’s deep tissues of toxins, open the subtle channels, bring life-enhancing energy thereby increasing vitality, inner peace, confidence and well-being.

The main emphasize of Ayurveda is on preventative and healing therapies along with the various methods of purification and rejuvenation. The treatment in Ayurveda consists of four basic forms- drug therapy, panchakarma, dietary routine and regulation of lifestyle. It works in two fundamental ways of cure and prevention.

The preventive aspect includes personal hygiene that further consists of daily routine, seasonal corrections and appropriate behaviour. The curative aspect consists of internal medicine that includes internal purification through panchakarma, external medicine as massage, use of pastes and powders .

 

"While there was a suggestion that DFMO may influence the extent of Barrett's dysplasia, this finding is very preliminary and further study of this agent in a larger number of patients is needed," said Frank A. Sinicrope, M.D., professor of medicine and oncology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Sinicrope presented his findings here at the American Association for Cancer Research's Seventh Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), more than 16,000 new esophageal cancer cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S. Unfortunately the survival rate in these cases is only 10 percent. This alarming statistic is due largely to the fact that by the time the majority of cases are diagnosed, the cancerous tumors have grown to the point of inoperability.

On Nov. 8 and 9, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Medical Center hosted an "Innovations in Pediatric Medicine" conference at the Grand Hyatt New York, which featured lectures by international leading authorities in pediatric biomedical research, genetic findings and stem cell therapy breakthroughs.

Research published by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) programme has found that early surgery is beneficial for patients with chronic symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Reflux is a very common condition with 20 per cent of the population experiencing it at some point in their lives.

University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have discovered a gene that helps control the secretion of acid in the stomach - information that could one day aid scientists in creating more efficient treatment options for conditions such as acid reflux or peptic ulcers. This data is published in the Nov. 3 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

For many people, Thanksgiving is about having family near and celebrating, sometimes in excess. That's because for some holiday revelers, perhaps the amount of time spent watching football on the tube is only surpassed by a second activity: eating.

There is a cancer in the United States that isn't sneaking up on us; it's already here. Cancer of the esophagus is one of just two cancers that are increasing in this country (skin cancer is the second) and the western world. In fact, figures from the National Cancer Institute show cancer of the esophagus has gone up 400 percent since 1975. And as the cancer spreads, its sufferers aren't who they used to be.
