Ginger In Ayurveda
(Riyaz)
Write your abstract here.Ayurveda appears to conquer new peaks with time. The ayurvedic philosophy is "food itself is the medicine". we will take ginger for our discussion. Ginger is the most effective medicine for arthritis. The person who keeps eating ginger will rarely ever have arthritic symptoms as it prevents the initiation of both Vatic and Kapha diseases. Those who are unable to find fresh ginger can take the dry ginger powder. . Since ginger is not readily available in all seasons it is better to use dry ginger and powder it as and when needed. Ginger will appear in the breast milk of any mother who takes this spice, or its decoction, for a minimum of two months starting immediately after childbirth. This means baby will also get the benefits in Kapha and Vata disorders even into later life, provided baby got ginger through breast milk throughout. Tea is the most favoured drink in all of India. . Most patients with arthritis are told to avoid tea and coffee at all cost. But is not easy to get rid of these addictions! So you need to take an equal proportion in weight of ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom and pound them all together. Do not strain them. When making your tea, you can add about a ¼ teaspoon of this masala mixture for each cup of tea just after it starts boiling. You add the sugar and milk later. This is an ayurvedic tea which will not cause Kapha and is also a good remedy for infected throats and by using this tea the voice is able to open up in volume and altogether increase vigour in the body. Tea taken in this way will not cause obesity, due to these added spices. This tea does not add layers of fat and will make body both healthy and well proportioned. The very process of making tea offers flavenoids to the drinker while the milk softens the caffeine content without causing addiction. Ginger ranks highly amongst herbs used to treat liver disorders in ayurveda and it is needed to give energy and vigour to the body as a result of correcting the metabolism. As ginger does not allow Meda (obesity) to increase, it has been used in Trifla Guggulu, one of the most well known formulations aimed at reducing obesity. Furthermore, along with black pepper and pepper longum, it is also used in Medohar Guggulu, another formulation with the same use. These should both be used under supervision of a vaidya, as the proportions need to be changed dynamically, otherwise dizziness and vertigo can be additional problems. Only Trifla Guggulu is harmless, but it may cause constipation with overuse. Despite Trifla being laxative in effect, Trifla Guggulu does not have the same effect and in fact some people can get constipated if these remedies are used incorrectly. Despite such difficulties there are never any complaints from patients to say that there is an increase in obesity while taking Trifla Guggulu. If one takes a teaspoon of cow ghee and about 20 gm jaggery in a small iron vessel, warms them a little so that jaggery melts, and then adds ½ teaspoon of ginger powder, mixing them together will produce a paste. This warming paste, when taken on empty stomach, is an excellent remedy for frequent coughs, colds and general swellings. It both increases hunger and also prompts better digestion. Gas and acidity are two prevalent complaints of old age. Today there are many senior citizens who know ayurvedic remedies too well and take ginger, licorice and Peepramul powder together everyday to guard the mobility of the body. In allergic skin diseases such as Psoriasis or eczema, ginger is both soothing and preventive. For those Indians living in villages who may have some medical plants in their court yards, this author describes a healthy juice aimed at reducing the incidence of all allergic diseases. Ardusi, ginger, tulsi, pudina (mint) are all required, it is then necessary to mix ½ teaspoon of the fresh juice of each herb and add a pinch or two of saindhav or black salt and a teaspoon of honey and drink this after mixing well, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. Take tea or coffee as desired after 30-40 minutes, but only if one is addicted to tea/coffee.. It will give you a clear voice and all old chronic coughs, panting, breathing difficulties and cardiac asthma will slowly improve until they are cured. While many correlate ginger powder with Pitta and acidity, this is not correct. Ayurveda has many exceptions which one comes to know only after the familiarity of long experience. The combination of ginger, black pepper and Pepper Longum is termed `Trikatu" in ayurveda.
