SOOTRA SIX – VAAT PRAKRITI

Vaata naturally increases after 60 yrs of age.

Main remedy is oil massage for old people. A little bit of exercise is ok.Too much movement is not good for them.

Human urine – can be used as medicine. Condition is you must be 100% vegetarian. Gau mootra is much better compared to human urine. Only the 1st urine in the morning is to be used. While urinating leave the initial and last parts and drink only from the middle part of urine. Helps in around 100 illnesses. Mainly vaata and kapha problems.
[28/07 11:01 am] ‪: 200 yrs back the number of people ill was only around 10%. I.e. if we consider the number of the ill now to be 100%. This is after taking into account the difference in populations between then and now and is based upon the surveys conducted by the British.

Doctors admit that in 250 years of allopathic history the only credible thing that it has achieved is pain reduction.

Ayurveda says that the patient is the best doctor for himself. All that is needed is a bit of knowledge or information. According to Ayurveda, 85% of our health problems are very easy to resolve and no expert help is needed for this. Only 15% of ailments are serious enough to merit expert help.

Mharishi Waghbhat says - APANE SHARIR KO JAAN LIJIYE AUR BHOJAN KO PEHCHAAN LIJIYE

I.e. know your body and recognize/understand your food. This much is enough to take care of almost all ailments.

According to Mharishi Waghbat the highest discovery/invention is the science of food and cooking that was done in India of yore.

The following Sootras are based on the two books written by Mharishi Waghbhat which contained over 7000 such sootra/formulae. He lived for 135 years and reportedly took ICHCHHA MRITYU, i.e. shed the body consciously and out of his own will.

Out of these 7000, the below, around 50, sootras are the most relevant for modern day lifestyles and related ailments.

SOOTRA 1 – While cooking if the food doesn’t get contact of air and sunlight then this food will work like slow poison in the system.This means that pressure cooker is very bad for health. While cooking in pressure cooker the grains get broken and thus become soft. This does not mean getting they are getting cooked. So the food thus prepared is useless for the body.The molecules get damaged and hence the food becomes useless for the body.Diabetes, Bronchitis, TB, Asthma etc. 48 ailments have been directly traced to pressure cooker by modern scientists at CDRI/CSIR labs.Best utensils for cooking are clay, kaansa and peetal or bronze in that order.Researchers at the CDRI Lab in Lucknow (a central govt. body) have found that after cooking say Arhar daal in Clay pots 100% of the micro nutrients originally present in the daal are still there, 93% are left after cooking in kaansa utensils and 87% after cooking in peetal or bronze utensils.Whereas after cooking the same daal in a pressure cooker only 13% of these micro nutrients are left. Essentially what is left is worthless and unusable by the body.Refrigerator is also very harmful for health.Solar cooker is the best cooker. Those types of solar cooker should be used which have open vessels. Aluminium vessels are common in solar cookers and should never be used.

The ash left after dead body is burned contains these same 18 micro nutrients – the same as soil. No other natural thing contains all 18.

We could have produced aluminium thousands of yrs ago. Our shastras have the techniques. But we used clay pots since it is the best from every angle.

The longer an item takes to ripen in the field, the longer it will take to cook at home. Pressure cooking it will make the food useless for the body.

Nature has designed everything with enormous attention to detail. E.g. the top of the plants are eaten by humans and birds, middle part is for animals and roots are for the earth herself.

Chronic diabetics who started doing all their cooking in clay pots – sugar levels came down from 480 odd to 180 odd in less than a year.

SOOTRA THREE

Oil massage should be of entire body. But head area is most important. Ears should also be massaged regularly as they are seat of Kapha. Bathing should be done after massage.Massage till the child starts sweating in the arm pits or forehead.Things that reduce Kapha should be used for bathing. Eg. Ubtan, Multani mitti, Chana atta, chandan powder, mota aataa, masoor daal ataa, moong daal attaaa. Finally means that no soap should be used. It increases Kapha very badly.Oil can be put into ears. Its also helpful in controlling Kapha.Eyes are also seat of Kapha. Ghee can be put on eyes. Kaajal is very useful in controlling Kapha (Sau veer anjan).

SOOTRA FOUR

Children must be given milk, makhan, ghee, oil, gud, dahee, mattha etc.Maida is absolutely not allowed since it disturbs Kapha.Makkhan is better than ghee for children.Ghee things should be given in afternoon as pitta is increasing.Out of control kapha can make one a criminal and murderer. If under control it promotes love and harmony.American children are considered the worst – shootouts in schools etc are proof. 10% of America’s population are children and out of this 10% or 30 lac children are in prisons. This is common for most western countries. The main reason is out of control Kapha.Of the total crime happening in these countries upto 65% are being committed by children. Direct result of out of control Kapha. It leads to violence directly.Simplest way to keep children safe from all types of negative influences is to let them sleep as much as they want to.Morning time for schools is very bad. Its not good for children to wake up early in the morning. As morning is Kapha time and hence they sleep the deepest sleep. Best time for school to start is around noon.
