Gout Ayurvedic treatment- Gout Herbal remedies

I think Gout is the problem which can easily be handled by simple herbs like Kishore guggul - 2 tablets thrice daily and Navkarshik Churna - 1 tablespoonful twice daily with warm water. Navkarshik Churna is a classical 1100 AD medicine described in ancient ayurvedic text - Chakradutt samhita.

There are however some bhasma formulations which are good for "Vaat-Rakt" (Gout) Gout is known as "Vaat-Rakt" in Ayurveda, but the herbs - Kishore Guggul and Navkarshik Churna are sufficient for mild cases of vaat-rakt. The "vaat" in the "rakta" causes pain and swellings around joints especially the toe joint and cause scorpion sting like severe pain, especially when someone gets up in the morning and puts his foot on the earth. The accumulated uric acid forms crystals and causes stinging pains in joints and there is redness, swelling and pain in joints.

Gout is called Vaat-Rakt in Ayurveda - The following herbal formulations are recommended especially the Navkarshik churna which is a classical formulation (described in ancient text Chakradutt samhita -1100 AD) and available at - www.planetayurveda.com/navkarshik-churna/

The herb manjistha is a popular herb to be used in Gout and is found in Navkarshik Churna mentioned above. 1 teaspoonful twice daily of this powder is sufficient. It helps to get rid of the problem permanently.

Daruhaldi is another herb which is effective to reduce the uric acid levels and is present in this ancient ayurvedic formulation called - Navkarshik Churna.

Another herb Giloy is excellent to cleanse the blood. The Navkarshik Churna contains this herb also.

There are natural capsules called Joint aid Plus which can be given along with Navkarshik churna to reduce pain. The Navkarshik helps to eradicate the disease by cleansing the blood and it is a permanent solution. The natural analgesic effect is produced by the Joint aid plus without causing any side effects.

If the gout patient takes these 2 capsules twice daily, the outcome will be excellent. These can be taken along with other herbs mentioned above.

Punarnava is another wonderful herb. Puna means again and "nava" means new. It purifies the blood and gets rid of toxins. Punarnava is used in this case along with Navkarshik and Joint aid plus. It is an excellent combination of herbs to be used in this condition. It helps to reduce the uric acid levels quickly.

Punarnava Mandur - A herbal remedy for swelling in the body

Punarnava Mandur

Punarnava Mandur is an excellent herbal remedy for swelling in the body due to any reason. There are various reasons of swelling in the body. Swelling, also referred to as anasarca or edema, is a medical condition characterized by an excessive build up of fluid within the body's tissues. This fluid build-up can cause a person to rapidly increase his or her weight in a short period of time, ranging from days to weeks. The most commonly affected areas of the body are the skin, organs, glands, breast, ankles, legs, and feet. Swelling may be generalized throughout the body or localized to a single area. There are two basic types of swelling a person may experience: pitting edema and nonpitting edema. Pitting edema is a type of swelling that leaves an indentation in the skin when the swollen area is pushed on for five seconds and then quickly removed. Non-pitting edema, on the other hand, does not leave a pit.

A certain amount of slight swelling is considered normal during warmer months. This is particularly true for people who walk or stand a lot throughout the day. In addition, a pregnant woman may experience a slight amount of swelling from the stress of carrying a child. In both cases, there is generally no cause for concern.

Role of Punarnava Mandur in body swelling

Punarnava Mandur is a herbal remedy that works best in general body swelling, edema, fluid accumulation,swollen legs, water accumulation in feet, Pedal Edema, Ascites, Anasarca, Liver failure, Kidney failure, Water bags under the eyes, blood pressure, toxins in the liver, fatty liver, anemia.

It is a classical ayurvedic formulation for anemia, Low Platelet count, Low RBC count, Swelling around Joints, Generalised Swelling, Gout and other endotoxins accumulation. It is also diuretic and is useful in renal disorders. In renal failure, it is used with Mutrakrichantak Churna for getting good results. Kidney support can also be used with it.

Dosage - 2 to 3 tablets thrice daily with warm water, after meals

Prevention from Swine flu - Ayurvedic Treatment of Swine Flu

As Swine flu is finding its way into new places and involving more and more people, I thought of writing about how we can prevent swine flu from spreading further. I am writing this article while sitting at New Delhi domestic airport looking at few people who are doing their normal duties wearing the masks.

Stay at home if you have some symptoms

It is the responsibility of the person who is having symptoms like cough, cold, sore throat to think that he should contain himself rather than people who are not suffering should wear masks and roam around everywhere. The world looks weird with people wearing masks and doing their regular activities.

Do Not Panic

The key to stop further spread of flu is "DO NOT PANIC AT ALL" Swine flu can be contained and prevented easily.

Contact Your Doctor

You should contact your doctor direct rather than going yourself for the tests and putting the burden on authorities. You should do it especially if -

• You have a serious underlying illness
• You are pregnant
• You have a sick child under one year old
• Your condition suddenly gets much worse
• Your condition is still getting worse after seven days (five for a child)
• You have regular fever which is not getting down with conventional treatment

Antiviral Drugs

Swine flu is being treated with antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza. Antiviral drugs work by preventing the flu virus from reproducing - to be effective you need to take them within 48 hours of the symptoms beginning. This can reduce the risk of complications and possibly shorten the illness by a day.

If your GP confirms you have swine flu, you will be told from where you can get these drugs.

Herbal Remedies and other traditional Remedies

There are many tall claims by traditional practitioners that the Swine flu is curable and we can stop it. There are many people who may be advertising on their websites or everywhere else about their herbal formulations which are useful in treating Swine flu.

I believe there are many herbs which can be very useful in preventing Swine flu. I do not have any experience in treating the positive swine flu case yet. I however think that in Ayurveda, the Vata Shleshmik Jwara has the same symptomatology and the same herbs and other traditional regimes described will be useful in treating the swine flu. I am writing this article for preventing the Swine flu so that we do not have to face bigger emergency in future.

The following Herbs can be used for Swine Flu

1. Tulsi Capsules - Tulsi is a herb used in Ayurveda for various sore throat, cough, cold, viral infections. It is very effective in treating almost all of the viral fevers and other upper respiartory tract viral infections including influenza.

Dosage - 3 to 4 capsules thrice daily for 3 months can be used for prevention of Swine flu.

2. Curcumin - Curcumin is another Ayurvedic herbal remedy for Prevention of Swine flu and treating of allied sypmtoms. 2-3 capsules thrice daily are recommended for 3 months.
3. Amla and Bramhi Chawyanprash - Amla and Bramhi Chawyanprash are described as best anti-ageing, anti-oxidants herbs in Ayurveda. These improve the body's immunity to fight infections and other diseases if used regularly for about 2-3 months. I found the results much better than the regular vitamin pills.

Herbal Remedies for Diabetes & Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction is a major problem most of the diabetics suffer from. Diabetes causes neuropathy i.e. weakness of nerves. This leads to Erectile dysfunction due to Diabetes.

There are many herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction due to diabetes or diabetic neuropathy. Safed musli is one of them. Safed Musli - Chlorphytum borivilianum is a small herb, the root of which is very useful to cure erective dysfunction.

Our product Atirsadi churna contains safed musli and powders of semal musli, black musli and other herbs useful in erectile dysfunction.

These herbs are also very good for diabetes. They do not help to control diabetes directly but prevent further complications, helps in painful leg syndrome - calf myalgia, general body weaknes and other problems.

Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shilajit also play excellent role in such conditions. I would recommend the following combination for patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy erectile dysfunction -

1. Ashwagandha Capsules
2. Shilajit Capsules
3. Atirasadi Churna
4. Tribulus Power
5. Chandraprabha Vati
