Pandemic stress among women is also causing problems in pregnancy....

Nowadays some news alerting pregnant women: Epidemic stress among women is also causing problems in pregnancy. This is confirmed by the test performed on the umbilical cord as claimed by the scientists from England. The research done in England on pregnant women is alarming. Scientists doing research on pregnant women say that pregnant women are at risk of worsening their condition even if they do not have Covid. The stress of the pandemic can cause problems in their pregnancy. This has come to the fore in the research done on 115 pregnant women in the pandemic. 

Umbilical cord test is done in 2020:  Researchers examined the placenta of pregnant women in 2020. The report revealed that women who had covid during pregnancy showed three times the problems in their umbilical cord. At the same time, twice the cases of problems in the umbilical cord of women who were not infected were reported. 

What does it mean to have a problem with the placenta? The baby growing in the womb is connected to the mother through an umbilical cord. Through this umbilical cord, oxygen and nutrients from the mother reach every part of the baby. All this is possible through blood circulation. Any discrepancy in this has a direct impact on the health of the child. Similar problems have been revealed in this research in pregnant women. 

What problems did pregnant women have to face? In the first wave of the pandemic, pregnant women from Canada, France, and the UK were included in the research. Their umbilical cord and umbilical cord samples were taken. One-third of these women were infected. At the same time, up to 50 percent of women had not been affected with Covid.   During the research, it was revealed that the level of fibrin protein was increased in them. This protein helps in clotting blood in the body. These clots hinder the growth of the child and increase the amount of calcium in the body. 

Researchers say that the epidemic caused stress in such women, which caused inflammation in the body and many changes in the organs. This increased the problems in pregnancy. More research needs to be done on the extent to which this stress can have a bad effect on the mother and the child. Researcher Alexander Hazel of Manchester University in England, who conducted the research, says that the problem seen in the umbilical cord of women has been seen only during the epidemic. The long-term impact of this stress needs to be understood. 

What if Covid happened during pregnancy? Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco say that corona infection during pregnancy increases the risk of the baby being born prematurely. Premature delivery of the baby can happen before 32 weeks in infected women. During pregnancy, the risk of getting infected with Covid in women is up to 60 percent higher. Researchers looked at birth certificates of children born in California between July 2020 and January 2021. During this 2,40,157 children were born. Of these, the mothers of 9 thousand children had corona during pregnancy. The research revealed that 8.7 percent of normal pregnant women and 11.8 percent of pregnant women suffering from Covid had premature deliveries. If BP and obesity increase then the risk is more. Researchers say that pregnant women are more prone to infection with Covid. In such a situation, the risk of premature delivery in infected women who struggle with high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity increases by a further 160%.

Use of Paracetamol tablets in pregnancy may be harmful - A Researcher Report....

Scientists have suggested avoiding the use of Paracetamol tablets in pregnancy, it can have a bad effect on the development of the child; It may affect the thinking ability and IQ may in developing fetus.

[Paracetamol tablets]

Many doctors now suggesting to avoid taking paracetamol tablets during pregnancy without medical advice. It can have a bad effect on the unborn baby in a recent study. Earlier research has also revealed that there has been a connection between autism, hyperactivity disorder, slow language learning in girls, and low IQ level in children of such mothers. 

A team of international scientists reviewed studies related to paracetamol and pregnancy. It came to the fore that pregnant women should take painkiller paracetamol only on the advice of the doctor; otherwise, the unborn child can be affected in many ways. 

Research published in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology says paracetamol has been found to be linked to diseases related to the brain, reproductive and urinary. To understand this, the team of researchers analyzed the research related to paracetamol and pregnancy that took place between 1995 and 2020. 

Researcher Dr. David Christensen of the University of Copenhagen, who did the research, examined the effect of paracetamol during pregnancy in two ways. First, on pregnant animals and second on pregnant women. It was observed that the cases like premature young age, decreased sperm count, decreased fertility have been seen in the children of such mothers who have taken Paracetamol in pregnancy. At the same time, when its effect was seen on animals, it was revealed that the number of eggs in female animals decreased and the ability to reproduce was also reduced. 

The report published in the journal says, the increasing use of paracetamol around the world is disturbing. It is affecting the children's thinking and learning ability and their behavior. Not only this but a connection has also been found between such painkillers and testicular cancer. 

However, the British health agency NHS does not agree with this. The NHS says that paracetamol is also a safe drug for pregnancy. For women who are about to become a mother, this painkiller is the first choice. Around 50 percent of pregnant women in the UK use paracetamol during pregnancy. At the same time, in America, this figure is more than 60 percent.

Avoid white foods, they make you sick...............

Maida, Salt, Ajinomoto, and Sugar increase the risk of cancer, diabetes, and obesity, know how they harm the body. 

Eating less and doing more physical work is the most important thing for the health. But the presence of essential nutrients in the food is more important than that too. in the changed and speedy lifestyle, people are searching for automatic and easy solutions to survive; in this, the fast-food was trending to be the best option for them but an increased amount of fast food and packaged food in the diet have reduced the number of nutrients from our food. These include substances such as sugar, salt, maida, and Ajinomoto. The most important thing to know is that the quantity of this material in processed food is up to dangerous levels. 

[Refined wheat flour ]

According to the Harvard Institute of Health, they are not only causing serious diseases like cancer, type-2 diabetes, obesity, blood pressure, heart attack, etc. but also they can reduce the lifespan by at least ten years. 

Food and Dietetic Experts say that the aforesaid four items that are becoming important parts at hotel and restaurant for daily food for increasing taste as per public demand give rise many more life-challenging diseases. 

1. Maida - cause of diseases like obesity, cholesterol: During the processing of wheat to make flour, the tissues found in it called endosperm are destroyed. Similarly, the bran required for digestion is also removed. Overall, almost all of its nutrients are lost while making maida from wheat. In such a situation, it causes serious digestive problems as it is very much sticky and gives trouble to the villi (many small finger-like projections found in the small intestine that make the surface rough and also play a major role to absorb nutrients from food) in our small intestine by sticking over the surface wall of the small intestine and make them smooth and inactive for absorption of food and as a result, the digestion is affecting very badly. 

Acceptable quantity of maida: Foods made from all-purpose flour (maida) can be eaten once a week. That is also just for testing, and, not a full diet. 

2. Sugar: Cause of diseases like cancer, diabetes, etc. Sugar without processing or can sugar is good for health in a limit but nowadays no one likes it. People want only crystal white refined sugar. As we know that the sugar is also called empty calories. It does not contain any nutrients. As soon as it reaches our digestive tract, it breaks down into glucose and fructose. For people who do not do physical work, it gets stored in the liver in the form of fat. It also has a bad effect on insulin, which increases the risk of diabetes. 

Acceptable quantity of sugar: Just 5 teaspoons of sugar per day is enough for an adult. After the age of 40, this should reduce also. 

3. Ajinomoto: Extremely harmful to the heart. Ajinomoto is monosodium glutamate. It is found naturally in tomatoes, grapes. It is mostly found added in Chinese food, soup, etc to enhance the taste. 

Correct dosage: There is no need to take it artificially. If you wish to enhance the taste of your food, just take some tomato, onion, and cucumber slices as a salad or squish the quarter pieces of lemon in the food that is enough. 

4. White salt: Most responsible for high blood pressure: Salt affects the amount of water in the body. If we eat more salt then the extra water stored in the body increases the blood pressure. Apart from this, when salt is refined; the iodine found in it is removed. At the same time, during refining, fluoride is added to it, which causes harm if eaten in excess. 

Correct doses: A maximum of 1 teaspoon of salt should be taken in daily food. If you have BP then definitely consult a dietician.

COVID-19 Vaccines have good future in treatment of Cancer patients.........

"Covishield, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines are found effective in the treatment of cancer disease, research revealed"

The effective vaccine to prevent corona is also proving good effect on cancer patients without showing any side effects on the patients. Scientists have presented their research at the conference of the European Society of Medical Oncology. 

According to the researchers, a suitable and protective immune response to the vaccine has been seen in cancer patients. According to the study, the third booster dose of the vaccine may prove to be more effective in cancer patients. Researchers also presented several previous studies and reports published in journals showing the effective effect of Covid -19 on cancer patients.

Vaccine develops effective immunity on cancer patients- Clinical trials of these vaccines were not done on cancer patients, because during the treatment of cancer, the immunity of the patients is already low due to the disease, so there was a fear about whether the vaccine is safe for the patients or not. Clinical trials were not conducted on these patients. An earlier study explored the potential impact of chemotherapy and immunotherapy on the protection provided by vaccination against COVID-19. In the latest study, it has been proved that the vaccine develops effective immunity against Covid in cancer patients.

Sufficient levels of antibodies found in cancer patients- Researchers included several hundred patients from different hospitals in the Netherlands in four different study groups to measure their responses to Moderna's two-dose vaccine. To validate the study, the researchers included non-cancerous individuals, patients treated with immunotherapy, patients treated with chemotherapy, and patients treated with a chemo-immunotherapy combination.

According to the study, after 28 days of giving the second dose, 84 percent of the patients receiving chemotherapy were found to develop sufficient antibodies against the corona. In addition, adequate levels of antibodies were also observed in 89 percent of patients receiving chemo-immunotherapy and 93 percent of patients receiving immunotherapy.

What happens when other viruses infect the respiratory system?

At this time, on hearing the name of the virus, only one name comes into everyone's mind of SARS-CoV-2 virus. But there are also other viruses affecting the respiratory system, such as Influenza A (IAV) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSC), which cause large numbers of deaths each year. There is no vaccine or effective treatment for any of these viruses except influenza and SARS-CoV2. 

A recent study at the University of Glasgow explains what happens when more than one virus attacks you at once and what we should do to prevent them. This condition is called 'co-infections. Research shows that more than one virus can be the cause in 30 percent of cases of infection. This means that at some point two different viruses are infecting the cells of our nose or lungs. When these different viruses mix within the same cell, a new form of the virus appears and it is called 'antigenic shift'.

In a study, Cells were made infected with IAV and RSV. The researchers found that some human lung cells were infected with both viruses and viruses that emerged from the cell had characteristics of both viruses. Some of the new forms had the proteins of both viruses on their surface, while some even had the same genes for both. 

The study of microbes is of utmost importance to the development of vaccines and treatments. But first and foremost safety is important. Here, it is also important to mention that the researchers did not do any genetic engineering in this study, but through models, they understood what is happening in the real world and also in a safe environment in the laboratory.

I request to the scholars, please do not try yourself without the supervision of an expert. 

Flaxseed decoction helps in reducing obseity - latest findings...

Flaxseed is scientifically called Linum usitatissimum; family- Linaceae. it has traditionally been used for the management of infectious and non-infectious diarrhea and gastrointestinal infections. 

[Flaxseeds] 

Nowadays most people are busy trying to lose weight. The majority of people become obese due to inactivity and fortune arrest at home due to lockdown caused by Corona. But now the situation is gradually normalizing and everyone is coming to their work. I have been seen that people feel difficulties in climbing stairs at their office because of the gaining of abnormal weight, also not able to stand for more than an hour on the field to perform their work. Not only this, among the people who start working, some of them had already got affected with Covid-19 and feeling weakness too.  We have already suggested in my previous articles how to manage post-Covid health. Here, I will tell, how to reduce weight with simple home remedies. There are many ways to reduce weight without exercising too. But here, I would like to tell you the uses of flaxseeds in reducing body weight by making a decoction from the flaxseeds.   Flaxseed (Linseeds) is rich in fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, which are considered good for weight loss. It is very easy to make a decoction of linseed, which also helps you in weight loss. So, let's know how to make flaxseed decoction and its benefits.

Methods of preparing flaxseeds decoction: To make a decoction of flaxseed, we need 2 tablespoons of flaxseed and 2 cups of water. In a pan, we will add the flaxseeds and water.  Now, boil the water until the water is reduced to half. The decoction of flaxseed is ready. Now, filter it and drink in lukewarm condition. 

How will it help in weight loss? Drinking the decoction daily helps to melt the excess fat stored in the body. Apart from this, the amount of fiber in flaxseed is high, which is successful in keeping your body active for a long time. The fiber content present in the decoction of flaxseed keeps you full for a long time and prevents you from eating more calories. Flaxseed contains insoluble fiber and helps promote good gut bacteria. This increases the metabolic rate even more. Flaxseed is low in sugar and starch, which is good for weight loss. Drinking this decoction does not increase your calories as well as helps in reducing weight.

I Hope, you will try the same. it will really help you but please note, if any person has heart-related issues or other life-threatening issues may please consult with your doctor first before starting this remedy.

A real Ayurvedic Story.... May open your eyes and make you firm to believe in Ayurveda...

Two brothers came to their Guru. "Baba", said one brother, "our pitta is excessive in the mouth. Thus we always argue with each other. Please give us some Ayurvedic medicines to release our aggravated Pitta."

Their Guruji responded, "Whenever you feel the pitta rising, each of you to take a mouthful of water. Neither swallow nor spit it out, as the water calms fire and the fire is is in the mouth, So long as you keep the water in the mouth, you will not be plagued by arguing."

The aforesaid story tells us not to pretend anything and correct ourselves. Both brothers arguing each other and complaining that Pitta is increased and was the fault of Pitta and not his habit, so, Guruji had given him treatment so that they could not open mouth means when they were unable to open mouth, no argument, as a result, no fighting.

We are also the same model, we keep on telling each other the Ayurvedic medicine is not working as expected, so, I personally tell you when you approaches your physician or vaidya and he has prescribed some medicines for you at the same time he had given you some restriction for food in the form of Aahar and pratyahara. Did you follow the same? if not where is the fault?  check yourself before blaming medicine just like the above-said brothers.

Being a person in the field of Ayurveda, I promise you the medicines are working more than our expectations but we have to follow the principle of taking the correct doses at the correct time and also avoid virodhahara.

So, stay happy, stay safe... 

Ojas and health as per Ayurveda's principles...

The health of the immune system determines whether diseases or warded off. Ayurveda notes that there is a sap-like material called Ojas (perhaps analogous to pineal gland secretion) that coats the immune system and protects it from diseases. If the Agni fire is too low or too high, this life sap will be diminished. Just like the tree that creates a sap over the bruise in the bark to protect and heal the bruise, our life sap (Ojas) protects and heal us from illness.

[Ojas]

Too much dryness or too much heat and fire eat away the life sap. A weak immune system is the cause of the illness, from cold to multiple sclerosis to AIDS. To heal the immune system, one needs adequate rest and pure (sattvic) foods and herbs that specifically rebuild the Ojas (life-sap). (Here a point should be noted very clearly that non-vegetarian food never rebuilds the immune, it is just for the taste and many doctors prescribing non-vegetarian soups and food is just for fancy a placebo working for Psychological satisfaction; our body is not equipped to eat non-veg but our body structure externally and internally made suitable for pure vegetarian food only).  Some of the examples of Oja's building herbs are Satavari roots (Asparagus racemosus) and ashwagandha roots (Withania somnifera).

Maintaining our body's immune system is very easy but need a proper and balanced diet as well as a minimum of 6-8 hrs proper body rest (No daytime sleeping). If we maintain Ojas and doshas in our body, we will be free from any disease as we know that any disease can be caused by any of the humor, depending on which sites, they relocate to, so, the patient is examined completely, using all possible methods. Since, disease development (pathogenesis) is the same for all dosha only the humor, stages, sites, and directional movement of the humor are examined. (Humor have to return to their origin sites to be eliminated).

So, we can say Ayurveda emphasizes promoting health, preventing disease, and enhancing longevity (rejuvenation and age reversal). By using Rasayana (rejuvenation) promoting herbs and diet, good conduct, daily routine, and seasonal living longevity are developed.

?? Unknown fever : seeking attention to Public health awareness...

Most of the children were admitted to Hospital with unknown fever complaints and showed a drop in platelet count. At present, apart from viral fever dengue, diseases like scrub typhus and thrombocytopenia are spreading in the country, which hardly anyone has heard of before today. 

With the rainy season or change in weather, viral diseases start wreaking havoc across the country. Cases of coronavirus are also seen increasing once again in many cities. Apart from this, while dengue cases are increasing along with viral fever in Delhi, many districts of Uttar Pradesh have been wreaking havoc on mystery fever for the last month.

According to some reports, the children who are suffering from such unknown fever complained of joint pain, headache, dehydration, nausea, or rashes that spread to their arms and legs. Therefore, the majority of children were admitted to the hospital, and thereafter diagnosis their droplets fond drastically decreased.

What is thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia refers to a decrease in platelets. This is known as dengue, in which platelets are reduced. It is a mosquito-borne disease. The disease has spread to more than 100 countries, but 70% of cases come from Asia and more than 100 million cases are found every year. There are millions of severe dengue cases reported worldwide, which have a huge impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, and these cases are much higher than those of COVID. 

Due to poor sanitation, water logging in many places, and our inability to deal with the increasing number of mosquitoes during and after the monsoon, we face the havoc of this disease every year. Along with this, mosquito-borne diseases are also spreading in Uttar Pradesh, the most famous of which is the mosquito-borne disease “Japanese Encephalitis”, also known as Japanese Fever. It was first found in 1978 in UP. And since then the disease has taken the lives of hundreds of people. A major vaccination campaign for Japanese encephalitis was launched in 2018, and this has resulted in a reduction in deaths. But again this time there is such a mysterious disease spreading that we can not really know whether it is Japanese Encephalitis or it is Dengue.

Chikungunya- Chikungunya is also a mosquito-bite disease, which spreads very rapidly during this post-monsoon season. Whatever the disease, one thing is clear that these diseases are spreading due to poor public health systems. We get these diseases again and again and every year we have to fight them and lose the lives of our children, which is very unfortunate.

Scrub typhus - The doctor says, there are many types of viral fever, which we face every day. But in this fever, the symptoms appear like dengue but it is not dengue fever. If the fever in the child is not controlled in time, it can even lead to the death of the child. There is a fever called viral hemorrhagic. There is another disease called scrub typhus, which is difficult to detect. It also resembles dengue but has a mortality rate ranging from 1 to 50%. The cases of fever that are coming out nowadays are probably the cases of scrub typhus. It is spread by mites. This type of fever has been occurring in India for centuries. There can be many bacterial infections, which can show the symptoms of scrub typhus. 

Such cases are increasing because the children were in quarantine at home for a long time and now they are coming out of the house. Their immunity has also decreased. These fevers have nothing to do with Covid as no child has tested positive for Covid.

Stay healthy, Stay safe... 

 

Question raised - my terrace is sheeted and so there is no direct sunlight; Can I grow fruits and vegetables on this roof? will anyone clarify please...

Dear Friends, You have not clarified which kind of sheet covering the roof. If the roof is covered with blue or green transparent sheets, then okay, if it is a sheet made of cement or tin or other material that not allowing penetration of sunlight, then the growing vegetable is difficult due to the following reasons-

1. Most of the vegetable belongs to Solanaceae or Cucurbitaceae or other vegetable families that are either seasonal or annual and the creepers and plants require more watering and sunlight to fast-growing.

2. Leaf is broad and thick, sometimes light fleshy too, and that requires minimum moderate to normal but direct sunlight up to min. 6 hrs to the plant in order to make more photosynthesis and grow.

3. Less photosynthesis means fewer growing plants with much nutritional deficiency and due to the absence of sunlight, there are many chances to attack insects and other diseases.

4. If it grows, it also, lacking the actual nutritional value for that the vegetables are grown.

Now you please tell me the type of sheets, you have on your roof. I hope the above-given reasons are enough to understand even if you have any problem, may contact me on pdd100@gmail.com and I will try to solve your problems.

Thanks & regards.   

 

Vitamin D and health - A real story....

Most people don't know the real story of "vitamin D and health." Vitamin D is produced by our skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight. The healing rays of natural sunlight that generate vitamin D in our skin cannot penetrate glass, So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.  It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. 

Here I would like to bring some important facts about Vitamin - D.

• Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in our own bodies. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet. 

• The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK, and most U.S. States are far from the equator. 

• People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is an epidemic among many people- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency. 

• Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in our intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless. 

• Chronic vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight; it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.

• Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body. 

• It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in our body from sunlight exposure. Our body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs. 

• If it hurts to press firmly on our sternum(chest/breast bone), we may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now. 

• Vitamin D is "activated" in our body by our kidneys and liver before it can be used. 

• Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair our body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D. 

• The sunscreen industry doesn't want us to know that our body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.

• Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in our body, yet our body makes it absolutely free. No prescription is required.

Other powerful antioxidants with this ability include super fruits like Pomegranates (Wonderful juice), Acai, Blueberries, etc.

Diseases and conditions cause by vitamin D deficiency: 

1. Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which greatly impairs calcium absorption.  Sufficient vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer, and schizophrenia. 
2. Rickets is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. 
3. Vitamin D deficiency may exacerbate type- 2 diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.
4. Obesity impairs vitamin D utilization in the body, meaning obese people need twice as much vitamin D. 
5. Vitamin D is used around the world to treat Psoriasis (a chronic skin disease). 
6. Vitamin D deficiency can cause schizophrenia. Seasonal Affective Disorder is caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to sunlight. 
7. Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as "fibromyalgia" because its symptoms are so similar to Muscle weakness, aches, and pains.
8. The risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50% - 80% through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight 2-3 times each week. 
9. Infants who receive vitamin D supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80% reduced risk of developing type - 1 diabetes over the next twenty years.  

Shocking Vitamin D deficiency statistics: 

In the opinion of experts, 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient. 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. 42% of African & American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D. 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin D deficient. Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin D deficient.76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type - 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient. Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient Up to 90% of Indians are vitamin D deficient!! 

Solution: Take direct sunlight early morning for 20-30 minutes.

योग और आयुर्वेद में समानताएं (Similarities between yoga and Ayurveda).....

जैसा कि हम जानते हैं कि आयुर्वेद जीवन का विज्ञान है जो लंबी उम्र की समस्याओं से निपटता है, और हमारे स्वास्थ्य को प्रभावित करने वाली बीमारियों से छुटकारा पाने के लिए एक सुरक्षित, सौम्य और प्रभावी तरीका सुझाता है। आयुर्वेद को पाँचवाँ वेद माना जाता है और भारत में हजारों वर्षों से प्रचलित है। वेदों में औषधीय पौधों और उनकी उपयोगिता का व्यापक रूप से वर्णन किया गया है; विशेष रूप से अतहरवेद में। 

[Connection b/w Yoga & Ayurveda]

आयुर्वेद को समझने के लिए जरूरी है कि हमें इसके मूल सिद्धांतों का अच्छा ज्ञान होना चाहिए।आयुर्वेद को अस्तित्व में सबसे पुराना उपचार विज्ञान माना गया है, जो अन्य सभी की नींव रखता है। बौद्ध धर्म। ताओवाद, तिब्बती और अन्य सांस्कृतिक दवाओं में आयुर्वेद के समान समानताएं हैं। आयुर्वेद की व्यक्तिगत उपचार विधियों के रहस्यों को भारत में संरक्षित किया गया था।

सतर्क व्यक्ति अब यह पूछ सकता है कि आयुर्वेद इतना महत्वपूर्ण क्यों है, इसका व्यापक रूप से पूरे विश्व में अभ्यास नहीं किया जाता है। यह एक वैध प्रश्न है, जिसका समान रूप से मान्य उत्तर यह है कि आयुर्वेद, सभी वैदिक दर्शन की तरह, सनातन धर्म की मान्यता का पालन करता है, या हर चीज को उसके उचित समय और स्थान पर स्वीकार करता है, और कुछ भी अस्वीकार नहीं करता है। दवाओं के सभी पहलू उपयोगी हो सकते हैं, लेकिन आवश्यकता पड़ने पर उचित उपचार का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए। यही कारण है कि आयुर्वेद आधुनिक चिकित्सा को भी अस्वीकार नहीं करता है।

यह बहुत बार देखा गया है, आधुनिक दवाएं भी कई टॉनिक, मल्टीविटामिन टैबलेट, और अन्य प्रतिरक्षा-बढ़ाने वाली दवाओं की सिफारिश करती हैं जो कुल जड़ी-बूटियों से बनाई जाती हैं, न कि निकाले गए अल्कलॉइड के साथ। क्या यह वैश्विक स्वीकृति नहीं है? आपने देखा है, कि आधुनिक दवाओं के कई डॉक्टर मरीज को डायबिटीज और कोलेस्ट्रॉल आदि की दवा लेने के साथ-साथ मॉर्निंग वॉक की सलाह देते हैं। आप में से कई लोगों ने भी सुना है कि आधुनिक दवाओं के डॉक्टर मरीज को लंच और डिनर के बाद गर्म पानी पीने की सलाह देते हैं? गर्म पानी पीना आयुर्वेद के आहार सिद्धांतों का एक हिस्सा है। ये वैश्विक स्वीकृति के ही संकेत हैं।

अब बात करते हैं योग की। मैं आपको बताना चाहूंगा कि योग और आयुर्वेद एक दूसरे के पूरक हैं। आयुर्वेद और इसके विपरीत योग का अभ्यास नहीं किया जा सकता है। बल्कि हम कह सकते हैं कि योग का आयुर्वेद के साथ बहुत गहरा संबंध है जैसे हम 'क्यू' का उच्चारण करते हैं। जब हम "क्यू" का उच्चारण करते हैं, तो स्वत: रूप से 'यू' का उच्चारण एक साथ किया जाएगा, इसका मतलब है कि हम इसके अंत में यू का उच्चारण किए बिना क्यू का उच्चारण नहीं कर सकते हैं। योग की आयुर्वेद के समान स्थिति है, और इसे अलग से पहचाना नहीं जा सकता। योग भी आयुर्वेद के समान मूल सिद्धांतों का पालन करता है। 

मैं एक और उदाहरण रख सकता हूं। मान लीजिए कि आधुनिक दवाओं के डॉक्टर मरीज में किसी बीमारी का निदान करना चाहते हैं। वह दवाओं के नुस्खे के साथ कुछ लैब टेस्ट भी लिखेंगे। दवाएं एक फार्मास्युटिकल कंपनी में निर्मित होती हैं और कर्मचारियों के पास बी. फार्मा डिग्री या समकक्ष या रसायन विज्ञान है लेकिन डॉक्टर नहीं है। लैब तकनीशियन द्वारा विश्लेषण किया गया रक्त परीक्षण डॉक्टर नहीं करता है। एक्स-रे और अल्ट्रासाउंड एक बी.एस.सी. डिग्री या समकक्ष द्वारा किया गया था। रेडियोलॉजी तकनीशियन और रेडियोलॉजिस्ट द्वारा अनुमोदित किया गया। कई पैरामेडिकल स्टाफ द्वारा की गई सामूहिक कार्रवाई और फिर से रोगी के इतिहास (medical history) और अंतिम निष्कर्ष पर उसी डॉक्टर के पास आती है जो दवाएं लिखता है। 

मेरी राय में, योग भी आयुर्वेद के लिए पैरामेडिकल स्टाफ की तरह काम करता है और चिकित्सकों द्वारा निदान किए गए किसी भी विकार के इलाज में समान भूमिका निभाता है।जैसा कि हम जानते हैं कि पिछले दशकों से आम लोगों की जीवनशैली में भी कई बदलाव देखे गए हैं और वे हमेशा कम से कम साइड इफेक्ट के साथ इलाज के लिए जाने की कोशिश करते हैं और इस स्थिति में आयुर्वेद और योग की कोई तुलना नहीं है।और अब यह देखा गया है कि अधिकांश देश आयुर्वेद और इसकी अनूठी उपचार पद्धति को स्वीकार कर रहे हैं और इस प्रकार निस्संदेह, आयुर्वेद के पास दवा का भविष्य सुरक्षित होने वाला है और इसे विश्व स्तर पर स्वीकार किया जाएगा।
