Ayurveda is perhaps the oldest known
medical system in the world. It is educed from its ancient Sanskrit
roots - ‘ayus' (life) and ‘ved' (knowledge). It practices the
principle of natural balance within the body and harmony with the
environment and thus ensures complete physical health and peace of
mind. Ensuring complete physical health is based on nothing more
complex than understanding your body and the type of food one eats.
Some people are full of energy, rarely fall sick and have a radiant
look on their face. Some others always feel tired, fall sick always
and look dull. The food habits of people and their way of life was
documented and over thousands of years ago, Ayurveda was born. Soon
after the 3rd century, Ayurveda enjoyed a big revolution in the form
of origin of Alchemy. Physicians started using mercury and several
other minerals after many trial and error processing. Medicament
prepared through deriving from practice and familiarity techniques
had several advantages and became much effective in very small doses.
In a nutshell, Ayurveda is a knowledge derived through ages of
experience that cannot make one immortal but it can provide you an
excellent state of well being that feels like immortality.
In the postmodernist era, the quality
and popularity of this tradition of Ayurveda lies in its, subtle yet
technological approach. Its unparalleled understanding and
documentation of natural law, the working of the human body, and
proven treatment methods gives an edge. Perhaps that explains why
Ayurveda with its natural traditions and ways still exits in the
world today. In India we are lucky that many natural herbs are
available easily and many of the remedies are documented.
Today, herbal adaptogens,
detoxification and rejuvenating agents, anti-arthritic,
anti-inflammatory, memory enhancers, general aphrodisiacs,
anti-asthmatic, anti-diabetic and scores of such quality medicament
are available. Plant extracts from tuberous roots, fruits, wood,
seeds, panchang, fruit rind, Bark, rhizome, husk, gum resin, bulb and
dried stigma are well described in Ayurvedic literature, and further
characterized in Ayurvedic pharmacopeias. There is a concept in
Ayurveda that, “What helps you heal also prevents.” Herbs
effectual in treating particular conditions can also serve as “food,”
so that, aimed nourishment to specific organs in the body for normal
functioning systems and processes could be achieved. They can be used to maintain
overall health, enhance mental lucidity, focus and calm nerves,
improve digestion, boost immunity and support detoxification. It is a
great way of finding out what makes people tick, and how to maximize
their immunity and strengths. Modern Ayurvedic preparations are well-defined in structure and function. And stringent rules
demand well-tested products under laboratory and clinical trial
conditions with great efficaciouness.
Infants are particularly vulnerable to
infections; that is why it is so important to protect them with
targeted minerals and herbs. These help with overall growth,
prevention of disease, and protection against dangerous
complications. Ailments like irregular bowel movements, colic, diaper
rash, vomiting, excessive crying etc have new parents worried. Now
days the treatment and prevention for common childhood ailments
consists mainly of Allopathic drugs such as antibiotics. There is no
question that sometimes such drugs are necessary, but all too often
they could be substituted by safer natural approaches. Many minerals
are requisite for normal functioning of the body and are especially
important during the first two years of infancy when the body is
growing rapidly. The baby's weight doubles in about five months of
age, and is three times by first birthday. Vital organs like the
brain, heart and kidneys double in size by the time the infant is one
year old. It is important that sufficient amounts of substantive and
required nutrients are in-taken during this rapid growth and
development.
Ayurveda has so much to extend by
gentle and effective means through the use of medicinal herbs,
massage oils and spices. India has more than 50000 different plant
species; in which 15000 are medicinal plants. In actuality there is
no end to the assortment of herbs and nutrients for children. Most
herbs are dependable and very effective. It is better to buy the herb
combinations as a wholesome therapy and supplements from established
and reputed companies like Dabur. They can set the foundation for
optimal development and overall health of your baby in the future.
