Dare, Aware and self care; three main principles to escape from COVID -19

 " Endless Efforts is the mantra of Success" 

As the world is suffering from COVID -19, a pandemic disease that overall destroyed the routine life of the entire world. Gradually, the people losing their patience and confidence due to seeing the upraising graph of Corona on daily analysis from various media. In this situation, even a small rumors may make panic to the entire public of a country and therefore, it is the duty of various responsible organizations not to deliver such kind of news or bulletins that has controversial views from one to another. It is noted that the earlier information was given by World Health Organization (W.H.O.) that the corona was spreading by air through minute droplets and can affect even a common man that had not shown symptoms to this COVID -19; a pandemic disease and such kind of person be referred as "Asymptomatic".

It was also told by the many news channels that an asymptomatic person that has infections can spread this disease to the other persons and therefore, public should take utmost care not to come in contact to others. Recently, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO Technical Lead COVID -19, the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, updated that there is no actual rate of transmission known for spreading this disease from asymptomatic persons to the secondary individuals. In her program, Dr. Samadi, Director of Men's Health, St. Francis Hospital stating that if a person has no chillness, fever, soreness in the throat, and difficulties in breathing, such person is very rare to spread disease. It clearly indicates that the asymptomatic persons are not contagious too.

The common people have no ideas to diagnose symptomatic and asymptomatic patients so easily and whether they can spread the disease to others or NOT that is also suspicious. 

In these conditions, it would be better for the common people to adopt the following three mantras - 

1. Dare: It is very important to maintain dare and leave the fear from the mind considering that the person getting infected at the same time they are recovering too. So, it is not necessary to be panic for this disease.

  

2. Aware: Awareness is important to take care of our body even from a small infection. Better to wear a facemask, maintain proper distancing, avoid physical contact, and wash hands with suitable soap frequently.  

3. Self-care: Only things to maintain good immunity by taking healthy and hygienic food. It is good to get proper sleep of 6-7 hours, regular indoor exercises, and meditations help to boost the immune system and make ready the body to fight against any communicable disease. 

Hope, any good vaccine will be invented and launch very soon to eradicate this pandemic and make human life in normal condition. 

Stay Healthy & Stay Safe.

Is all traditional Medicines analysis essential in modern time - A review.

"अपने अच्छे कार्य करते रहना चाहिए। हम रहें या न रहें, हमारा काम बोलना चाहिए। " 

It is often said by people that this is a progressive time even for traditional medicines and therefore, many research and development activities to identify the drugs and their potency and other formulation and development work have been taken place to modernizes the doses in various forms such as tincture, extracts, capsules, tablets, etc as per the carrying conveniences but many times it is practically observed that such converted forms of medicines are not having such effect as experienced in their fresh form or juice form. 

Now, the question is whether all traditional Medicines analysis essential in modern times? In fact, answering such a question is a little bit tough and cannot be concluded immediately. But one thing is appreciable that in India, all the green vegetation available throughout the years, then why we should not use their fresh juice? For instance, the kwatha and churn of Boerhaavia diffusa (Punarnava) showed more effectiveness in comparison to its tincture. Another example is the  Abroma augusta (Ulat - kambal) is a very good drug. This plant mainly grows in West Bengal and therefore, many attempts have been made to prepare its tincture in order to serve the drugs all over India but on the practical ground, the tincture showed less effective than that of fresh extract (swarasa). According to Dr. Bhuvan Mohan Sarkar " Attempts have been made to administer the drug in the more acceptable forms of tincture, pill or powder; but, none prove so efficacious as the fresh viscid sap in substances in which form I have used it with the wonderful result." 

Indian peoples have been using fresh drugs since the ancient periods and those drugs proved wonderful therapeutic properties as told by many experienced persons but these herbal drugs do not show the same chemical constituents during their chemical analysis. In Modern time, it is being considered that a drug should have a particular chemical constituent in it up to the fixed standard parameters then only it may be considered as suitable medicine otherwise not. But, it is practically observed that medicines that had not been found complied with fixed chemical parameters, also having many important therapeutic properties. in this connection, one Scientist quoted that " All the phenomena of the plant life are not explicable in terms of chemistry and physics; there are certain residual phenomena which points to the existence of what may be called in the present state of our knowledge, 'Vital force."  

Apart from that this may also be considered that all the drugs had still not been chemically isolated. The Isolation of drugs needs more research and formulation work. Whether we should wait for not to use the drugs that either under research or no research initiated so far. This is true that in many Metropolitan Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, it is difficult to collect green and fresh drug and again to make its paste for extracting fresh juice but it does not mean that we will not get good and effective doses of medicines. In Ayurveda, a very good method for 'Asava' preparation has been mentioned. If we take all medicines in the form of  'Asava' what would be wrong in that. Many reputed companies had already been started work on the preparation of 'Asava' too. This would be a great wok in the Traditional Medicine System. The Traditional System of Medicine uses plant or their parts as such is always recommended and only the things, it should not be compared with the logic of the Allopathy System.

संभावित कोरोना वैक्सीन, वर्तमान स्थिति और आकलन।

कोरोना महामारी ने सम्पूर्ण विश्व में लगभग १. १२ करोड़ लोगों को संक्रमित किया है और लगभग ५. ३ लाख लोगों की अब तक मौत हो चुकी है। हमारे देश भारत में ही लगभग ७ लाख लोग संक्रमित पाए गए हैं हालाँकि इनमें लगभग 4. २५ लाख लोग इस महामारी से ठीक भी हुए हैं। महाराष्ट्र , दिल्ली और तमिलनाडु राज्य की स्थिति काफ़ी नाज़ुक है।  यदि कोरोना के बढ़ते आँकड़े रुक गए होते, तब तो कोई बात नहीं थी, किन्तु आये दिन कोरोना के मामले बढ़ते ही जा रहे हैं। हमारी भारत सरकार और राज्य सरकारें कोरोना से निज़ात पाने के मुहिम में पुरजोर प्रयास कर रही हैं लेकिन सफलता उस हिसाब से नहीं मिल पा रही है जिसकी हम लोगों को उम्मीद थी। 

 

इस महामारी के निरंतर बढ़ने का श्रेय हम आम नागरिक को ही जाता है।  हम  भारत सरकार और राज्य सरकारों को दोषी नहीं ठहरा सकते कारण यह है कि हम लोगों ने इस कोरोना महामारी को प्रारंभ में बहुत हल्के में लिया और सरकार के बताये हुए नियमों का पालन ठीक ढंग से नहीं किया।  जो एक जिम्मेदार नागरिक को करना चाहिए था। अब सवाल यह उठता है कि गलती कहाँ पर हुई ? तो इसका उत्तर बहुत ही सरल है और वह है हम सभी का का गैर जिम्मेदारानापन तथा अपने आपको अपने से धोखा देने की परंपरागत और झूठी शान। जब सरकार ने लाकडाउन किया तब हम थोड़े दिन में ही तसल्ली खो बैठे थे।  पूरा अफरा -तफरी मचा डाली, कहीं रोटी का रोना रोया तो कहीं नौकरी का तो कही अपने घर वापसी का।  और थोड़े से दुःख को बर्दास्त न कर सके। 

 

आज भी सड़क पर बहुतायत लोगों को बिना मास्क और सोशल डिस्टैन्सिंग के देखा जा सकता है।  ऐसे लोग अब समाज के लिए खतरा बने हुए हैं।  इन्होंने तो जैसे मन बना लिए है कि  न जियेंगे और न ही जीने देंगे। अब भी जहाँ पाते हैं वहीँ पर थूक देते हैं।  बिना कार्य के ही बहाना बनाकर घर से बाहर जाते हैं।  यदि पुलिस ने पूँछा भी तो कोई न कोई पुख्ता बहन जरूर होता है इनके लिए। मास्क भी लगाते हैं तो ठुड्डी पर। पुलिस को देखा तब सही कर लिया।

 

हम यह क्यों नहीं सोचते कि इस से पुलिस को क्या नुकसान है वह तो अपनी ड्यूटी करते हैं।  कोरोना महामारी में सबसे  ज़्यादा परेशानी तो डॉक्टर और पुलिस तथा इन के विभाग से जुड़े लोगों को ही हुआ है. हम इनका उपकार जीवन में कभी भी नही भूलेंगे। यह भी  हमारी तरह अपने परिवार के सर्व प्रिये हैं फिर भी अपनी जिंदगी को दावँ पर लगाकर हमारी सुरक्षा करने में डटे रहते हैं।  

 

कोरोना की वैक्सीन बनाने की मुहीम जोरों पर है।  कई संस्थान इस मुहीम में लगे हुए हैं।  अभी कल मैंने एक संभ्रांत सज्जन व्यक्ति से पूछा कि  भाई साहब आपने मास्क क्यों नहीं लगाया है और सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग का क्या हुआ कि आप एक ही मोटर साइकिल पर तीन लोग सवार होकर जा रहे हो।  उन्होंने जो उत्तर दिए वह सुनकर मेरे तो पसीने आ गए। उन्होंने कहा कि डॉक्टर साहब यह कोरोना उनका क्या बिगाड़ेगा? अगले महीने वैक्सीन आ जाएगी फिर हम सपरिवार अस्पताल में जाकर लगवा लेंगे।  अब कौन इन्हें समझाए कि वैक्सीन आने में अभी समय है।  जिस हिसाब से आकड़े बढ़ रहे हैं यह देख कर एक- एक दिन बड़ा लग रहा है।  चलो थोड़ी देर के लिए मान लेते हैं कि यदि तय समय पर वैक्सीन आ भी जाती है तो भी यह क्या सभी १३७ करोड़ नागरिकों को तुरंत मिल जाएगी ? इस पर कितना ख़र्च लगेगा ? इसका भी अभी मानक तय नहीं हुआ है। 

 

आप सभी से अनुरोध है कि इस महामारी को इतने हल्के में मत लें , जितना हो सके सावधानी बरतें।  भारत सरकार और राज्य सरकार के बताये हुए नियमों का पालन करें।  ध्यान रहे हमारी एक छोटी सी लापरवाही हमारे पूरे परिवार पर बहुत भारी पड़ सकती है। इस कहावत को सच न होने दें " सावधानी हटी और दुर्घटना घटी" .

 

जहाँ यह महमारी अपना पैर पसार रही है वहीँ बहुत अधिक अनुपात में लोग इस बीमारी को जीत कर बाहर भी आ गए हैं।  बस ! हमे हौशला रखना है, मास्क पहनना है, सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग का पालन करना है और अपने हाथों को भली भाँति हर घण्टे साबुन से धोते रहना है। 

 

विश्वास करें , हम अवश्य जीतेंगे। 

 

जय हिन्द , जय भारत  .

काढ़ा बनाने की विधि- ( यहाँ पर केवल एक वयस्क व्यक्ति या एक ख़ुराक़ के बनाने की विधि बताई जा रही है। अब जितने लोगों को लेना है उतने लोगों के लिए अनुपात बढ़ा लेना चाहिए )

Green Chili (Capsicum annuum) - an immune booster and many more health benefits

Summer season and corona (COVID -19) both are at a peak in India. Where dusty, gusty, hot, and dry summer wind (Loo) is making dehydration to the person who has to go for work outside at the same time person should wear a facemask and hand gloves, etc. to protect themselves from the COVID-19; a pandemic viral disease.  It is also well known that a good immune system only can protect the human body from several diseases.

Though, all the people now taking the utmost precautions to escape from summer wind as well as Corona disease but adding small things in the routine life can give more benefit to a person to overcome from the risk of the aforesaid trouble. It is nothing but adding green chili (Capsicum annuum) to the routine diet. It was observed that two numbers of medium-sized green chili fruit are quite enough for a person to maintain good health by eating along with salads or in another form like green chili sauce, green chili chutney, green chili pickle but practically it is found more effective if eaten with food as raw green chili. If it is not comfortable to eat green chili along with food in this situation, the green chili water may be preferred. 

Preparation of Green chili water:  Take two medium-sized fully green and healthy chili fruit. Soak it with one tumbler of drinking water overnight. Remove the soaked chili fruit from tumbler in the morning and drink the water before or after breakfast. This may be taken daily for initially two weeks to boosting the immune system. It may be taken daily also as it works as a green vegetable to the body and there is no side effect reported so far.  

Health benefits: The Main health benefits of green chilies are as under-

1. The green chili provides Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, and other micronutrients that a human body requires on a daily basis to maintain the Immune system. While eating green chili, more saliva secretion occurs that regulates the digestive system of the human body. 

2. It has more antioxidants, anticancerous anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties that help to release toxicity, inhibit cancer cell formation, kill microbes like bacteria & viruses, and relax in pain respectively.

9. It helps to maintain good cholesterol in the body also in the formation of Endorphin hormone OR "Feel good" to make your mood happy.       

Overthinking may lead to depression

Overthinking may lead to depression

Nowadays depression becomes a very common disorder, especially to the growing youngsters. In simple words, depression is nothing but deep thinking and more expectation to gain something with the least resources or unavailable resources, and that also within a short time. It may also happen when an assignment has been taken with inappropriate planning and expected outcome not achieved. 

Depression is another word- 

" Thinking without planning,

   Planning without action,

   Action without thought,

   The result is confusion and,

   Ultimately, occur frustration." 

If a person has the least resources then, he has to plan accordingly as in the building of strong carrier, the first step in any field seems very tough but it is then eased by the second step and so on..It has ever been listening to many famous people they have selected a field as a carrier and then turned to other work. Everyone has some unique characters and talent. Only, it should be taken from the mind and polished well before its launch on the public platform. 

Lose and gain, success and failure are complementary to each other. A winner has to face more challenges to maintaining their top-level graph in society in order not to defeat by others at the same time a loser has multiple opportunities to try and win. Life itself a challenge and nothing is perfect in the world. The competition should be between the person who has equal caliber to fight. High expectations always push to a person to down if the attempt not made in time and in correct directions. Life never like short cut pathways. It is true while traveling on the true path, many obstacles may come in the way but it may shorten out as problems are everywhere at the same time solution is also available only the thing, person has to search very calmly and with patience. 

A person must try to be positive towards his mind and soul because negative thoughts can also play an important role to push a person towards depression as it makes a person hollow internally. If anything not coming to hand and slipping even on a continuous attempt, then it must be thought that something is going to happen better than the present. Might, this work not allotted by GOD to him. 

It has been seen that a person unable to tolerate criticism by the society or among the friends but if the criticism is being utilized in a positive manner it would become boon for next opportunity. Criticism is just like a centipede crawling which left sign over the soil to the identification. Likewise, criticism always remind not to repeat such activities again by making good and positive efforts until the targeted goal achieved.  

Disappointment is another reason for depression for the new generation for example if a person going to attend an interview with full preparation and thinking to success and by the chance, he or she unable to qualify the interview what should they do? Whether they should stop preparing for competitions or make further attempts with the rectification of the former lacunae that causes unsuccess. Absolutely the answer must be for a further attempt to the competition as - 

The END is not the end, in fact E.N.D. is "Efforts Never Dies" and if you get NO in answer, then, remember N.O. is " Next Opportunity". 

Always be positive.

Enhancing health graph while stay at home....

While visiting a town area in Covod - 19 essential duties, many people asking questions about maintaining their health in the lockdown period while staying at home as many of them are a senior citizen and unable to go to walk outside of the home due to many restrictions as well as fear of the COVID -19. School children are also getting less hunger and not good sleep because of less movement and more inactiveness of the body. Some of the children found to feel anxiety due to outdoor movement restricted. It is difficult to conduct indoor games to a high percentage of the population living in apartments.

Many of them, who have already been advised to have a minimum of three kilometers brisk walking daily to maintaining their diabetes and cholesterol etc. Nowadays, they are facing difficulties due to stay at home as some apartment associations even not allowing them to walk in the parking area too as the senior citizen is highly vulnerable to COvid -19. 

Maintaining health is a little bit difficult in the lockdown period but it is not impossible. This may be maintained easily by following some points -

1. Increase deep breathing and meditation timing.

2. Eat only when feeling appetite, not by timing like morning, noon, evening, and night for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper respectively. This may accumulate unnecessary fat to the body as our body is less active during the stay at home.

3. Eat less than a usual diet.

4. Avoid more spicy, grilled, fried non-vegetarian food as per mood but select light and easily digestible vegetarian food along with salad and citric fruit juice without adding sugar and ice cubes.

5. Always prefer to take hot water frequently.

6. Avoid more coffee and instead of the coffee, the green tea or tea added with black pepper, tulsi leaf, and fresh ginger may be preferred. It will help to boost immunity as well as inhibit the incubation of bacteria and viruses in our bodies. 

7. Do not try to lie in bed unnecessarily. When you feel sleepy then only go to bed. 

8. Engage to do some extracurricular activities as per your hobbies like art and craft, reading the book, playing musical instruments, etc. 

9. Avoid long sitting in one place and in one position.

10. Mild to normal exercise also helps to maintain a good mood and health.

I hope that the above-suggested points may help to maintain good health even in the lockdown period.        

Be aware but don't panic with Corona viruses

Awareness and fear are two simple words but have maximum involvement in everybody life. Awareness gives a solution to tackle the situation before it becomes worst. Whereas, fear attacks on sentiments of the person and create nervousness for a particular thing. Can we control fear by developing awareness within us?  Yes! It can be developed by knowing the actual fact in detail. The Coronaviruses become pandemic and have severely attacked human beings not only in a particular country but all over the world. But, everywhere one thing is very common and that was the "fear". Why? because, due to the active media and smartphone world, everybody knows that there is no vaccine invented so far for these viruses. In this situation, if anybody gets corona positive and doctors advise to admit in hospitals for certain days for medications, the patient unable to establish faith in doctors as he knows from various sources that the specific treatment is not available so far. This fear makes the patient down morally. As soon as fear triggers on moral (thinking) to the patients, the immune graphs of the patient get lowered and the recovery rate become slow. This may make a person metabolically unfit too. 

As we know that corona is not the first time come in existence in 2019 but it was already present in nature since long back. The starting symptoms of corona is very much similar to the common cold and seasonal fever. A person suffering from common cold also has sneezing, fever, suffocation due to irritation in the throat, and formation of phlegm in the respiratory tract. Most of the cases this remained untreated and get automatically cleared after 5-7 days. This common cold itself making patients critical if they already have cardiac, renal, pancreatic, liver, respiratory and diabetic associated problems and they need intensive care for that disease too. Practically, it is seen that corona also affects those who had either weak immunity or suffering from a long illness of aforesaid diseases. 

Previously, it was suggested by many authentic resources that the corona patients shows dry cough, irritating throat and breathing difficulties symptoms and then, it was said by many responsible medical authorities that many patients do not show symptoms and remain as "asymptomatic" 

After corona come in existence, the common cold and other communicable viral disease rushed away? Absolutely No. It means they are also in the environment and we are facing the same. More people may have coughing, sneezing, etc. but not a corona patients but it is very difficult to distinguish among them. 

The Monsoon now started in Kerala , south India and slowly it will travel to North India within the month. The fluctuation in temperature will occur and many diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, common cold, etc may come as usually it repeating every year but we were not panic as we accustomed about that. 

In our family, if any member gets affected by the common cold, very soon it will spread to all the family members because it is also communicable disease. If anybody in the family able to maintain social distancing and has strong immunity, he or she might suffer less. 

The same thing we, have to continue by following -

1. Maintain social distancing.

2. Avoid Physical Contact/Shaking hands

3. Wear Facemask

4. Wash hands with soap frequently.

5. Deep breathing (Anulom and Vilom) / Pranayam daily 20 minutes preferably morning time.

7. Avoid eating unhealthy food (junk foods)

8. Prefer Vegetarian foods with salads 

Generally, if a person have continuous fever for more than 12 hours due to viral infection, he or she loss the taste and smelling power during the fever and infection and after fever while recovering also. This is a common phenomenon of the body. For that, we should not be panic.

Here, I would like to suggest some tips to regain taste and smell within the hour- 

1. Just take a medium-sized lemon. Cut it into two equal half. Take a well cleaned flat pan or fry pan.  Put the lemon on a flat pan in a reverse manner so that the cutting surface of lemon touches the surface of the flat pan. Switch on gas stove with slow flame. Heat the lemon for 5 minutes. Now take the heated lemon and sprinkle one pinch of table salt and one pinch of black pepper powder on the cut surface of the lemon. Now gently rub over the tongue for 2-3 minutes by slight squeezing so that the lemon juices should also come out along with spicy salt. Yow will see the magic, all the taste buds of the tongue will be opening and you are enjoying the taste. If require the whole process may be repeated after a 4-5 hour interval once more.

2. Take a small cut pieces of neat and well-cleaned root of Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal). Keep it in the mouth near premolar and molar teeth without chewing. Slowly the extract from the root will comes out and clear all the respiratory problems. Allow smooth breathing and regain taste and smell within the days.

Enjoy life without fear. Problem and struggle in life are everywhere and fear is not a solution. We must be aware so that we may be able to solve the problem without difficulties and ultimately we will be the winner.
