ENEMA

SPACE LAW

     Space law says that whichever natural food is available in a particular area sufficient for the people in that area.  No need to import food from other countries and eat.  No other animals import food and eat.  They eat whatever available in that area, don’t look for which food has protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals etc.  They also don’t count the calories for eating.  Inspite of all this they stay healthy.  Hence no need to import costly foreign foods and eat.  In India Coconut, banana, dates which is easily available throughout the year contains all the nutrition required for human body.  Other seasonal fruits available in the area can also be taken. Those who couldn’t afford costly fruits can take coconut milk, vegetable juices, juices of green leaves etc . No need for tinned food, protein food, nutritious drink etc. If we have any doubt regarding the food to be taken we can think of the animals like elephants which live only on greens and the enormous strength they have.

JUICE FASTING

          Juice fasting helps when the patient cannot be kept on complete fasting. (On water). It has both advantages and disadvantages.
    
ADVANTAGES:
(1)Since the energy spent on digestion is very less (Since the intake is in liquid form) the body diverts its energy for purification of the system.
(2) Energy absorption is easier for the body. 
(3) Juices of juicy fruits (Grapes, Orange, Sweet lemon, Pomegranate with high glucose content) will help in case of seriously ill patients to recover fast.
(4) Very sick patients will find it easy to digest.

DISADVANTAGES:

(1)   Since the intake is in liquid form there is no fibre content in the intake.
(2)   Not advisable for patients with severe piles and constipation problems.  They are recommended to take natural food as it is.If the patient is kept on juice fasting taking enema once a day is advised. (If
bowel movements are not regular and constipation arises)

HOW DOES ALLOPATHY MEDICINES WORK?

    Allopathy medicines gives temporary relief to elimination of toxins ( which takes place through head ache, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, sleep, body pain, skin diseases) by suppressing the toxins within the body itself.  By this system of medicine only SUPPRESSION takes place. Then how it appears that the disease is cured?

Two things happen here.

    1) Suppression as already mentioned and temporary relief is obtained.
    2) We lose appetite, feel tired and sleepy when we fall sick.

    So we stop taking food take rest and sleep a lot.  Loss of appetite is body's signal that something is wrong in the body.  Now the energy spent on digestion is diverted to heal the body.  (similarily taking rest and sleeping also helps in healing)

    So to some extent we get  cured by allopathy medicines temporarily.  But the toxins suppressed in the body and the harmful chemicals taken in the form of medicines pave way to chronic diseases like heart diseases, asthma, cancer, kidney failure. ( eg. cold suppressed through medicines end in asthma).  If we allow the elimination to take place when we suffer from minor diseases by being on a diet of natural food we can escape from chronic diseases.  The body will clean itself now and through elimination process.

COCONUT

    Coconut is divine food gifted by mother nature. It is highly misunderstood food.  Raw coconut is not at all cholesterol.  It is cholesterol only when it is cooked and in oil form.  When coconut is eaten as it is or taken as coconut milk it is harmless.  Coconut is highly fibrous and hence helps in constipation problems.  It has lots and lots of nutrition.  The more and more height a tree grows above the ground the more the root  should penetrate inside the earth to make the tree withstand. The roots of a coconut tree will be strong, tube shaped and lengthy.  The roots penetrates the earth deeper takes the nutrition inside the earth filter it and gives it in the shape of coconut.  If the height of  a tree is more the energy of the food it gives will also be more because it overcomes the gravitational force to grow to such a height.  It has no branches and all its energy is spent in growing upwards.  It absorbs the nutrition from 5 elements of nature.

  for 10 months to give us coconut.  In Hindu culture coconut occupies an important place in the worship of God.

     Spiritually man has 3 eyes and coconut also has 3 eyes.  Both coconut and human embryo takes 10 months to mature.  Human being is the only living thing in the world who is  capable of climbing up a coconut tree break the coconut and eat it. This showsthe close relationship between man and coconut.

    We keep precious things safely by keeping it water proof, shake proof and by keeping it in lockers.  Nature knowing the preciousness of coconut had made it shake proof with the fibres outside, water proof with the shell inside and locked it with a outer cover. 

    It is a 2-in -1 food.  It quenches hunger by the nut  and thirst by the tasty water inside.  It can be eaten even by infants, children, adults according to its stage of maturity.

    New born and infants-tender coconut and diluted coconut milk

    Children                 -slightly matured which can be easily chewed

    Adults        -matured coconut with water inside it.

    Aged        -tender coconut and coconut milk (for    

            those without teeth)

    Raw coconut has only unsaturated fat which is harmless.  It has more fibrous content which strengthens the bones.  It cools the body.  It is also available cheap throughout the year.  The CHEAP AND BEST FOOD COCONUT is wasted by taking oil from it.  If this is avoided and coconut is used as food, food scarcity and diseases won't be there.  If taken along with dates and banana it makes a delicious and complete meal.  It can be taken as breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I wish the readers to make the best use of coconut.

FASTING

  

    SPAIN PROVERB:

    It is better to lose a meal than call 100 doctors

    SCOTLAND PROVERB:

    One who eats till he falls ill should fast until he recovers.

    Fasting is the best medicine. It gives rest to the digestive system. Deaths due to over eating are more than deaths due to starving.  All the animals undergo fasting when they fall ill till they recovers.
Example. Goat, Cow, Dog. Only man continues to eat even when he is sick.


HOW TO FAST?

    Only water should be taken when thirsty.  Those who can’t can take juices.  After the sickness has reduced juicy fruits and fleshy fruits can be included little by little for a few days.  Then after recovery nuts can be included.  During fasting taking rest is a must.  If airy places are available rest can be taken there.  Energy losing activities such as watching TV, talking more, listening to music, walking long distances should be avoided.  The body should be helped to divert all its energy to cure the body.  Due to fasting the toxin level in the body gets reduced. Since the toxin level is reduced the diseases also
gets reduced.

Weight Loss

Diet Therapy

                                                                    Diet therapy is a process of treating diseases by eating a diet, which contains the curative and preventive ingredients

               important part of living and a nutritious diet helps keeping new diseases from affecting the body. Ayurveda suggests that only a balanced diet is not sufficient for good health. It recommends that specific bodily conditions require specific diets. It looks at diet as an alternative therapy and treats the body as a combination of three different factors called vata, pitta and kapha. These factors represent air, fire and water respectively. A healthy boy is one in which the three elements are perfectly balanced which can be achieved through diet. When any one of the elements is disturbed the body becomes prone to diseases, correcting the diet can cure it.

                    Diet therapy is a process of treating diseases of the body by eating a diet, which contains the necessary curative and preventive ingredients. A diet therapist would try to include the useful foods in the diet and eliminate all the harmful ones so that the person can recover quickly. Practitioners of medicine even claim that a healthy diet plan can help curing diseases and also assist in prevention of the disease. This is the main function of a diet therapy.

                      Be it with a well-structured diet plan for healthy living, or be it with a plan of diet for different diseases, diet therapy has carved a niche for itself as a noteworthy alternative therapy.

principle of making flower remedies

              Dr. Edward Bach, the prominent English botanist and homeopathic practitioner was the father of the flower remedies as he discovered and perfected the preparation of flower remedies. He devoted rest of his life in discovering different flower essence and prepared thirty-eight flower remedies in total. This method thus acknowledged as Bach Flower remedies. However, later the herbalists and botanists from all over the world have researched with the potential of other flowers and made their own remedies. In the recent era, in India flower remedy as an alternative treatment has gained a colossal importance.

.               The principle of making flower remedies involves the theory of positive and negative energies of nature that influences human body. Diseases occur due to negative energies that contradict with the human soul. A healthy person`s soul keeps all the negative energies away. The flower remedies can also keep away the negative energies. The flower extract have the potencies to convert all the negative energies into positive energy, so it has the ability to prevent the diseases.

                  Thus, flower remedies work at the mental level rather than the physical level. Flower remedies cannot directly remove the disease symptoms but it can work at the basic level and uproot the cause of disease. Thus, flower remedies are slow procedure but the beneficial result it gives is more lasting.

               Preparation of Flower Remedies: Flower remedies are done from flower extracts, which are used in diluted condition. The flower extract can be made by sun method or by the boiling method.

                   Flower Remedies in Different Diseases: Flower extracts are specially helpful in case of different mental conditions, that might have physical manifestations.

Flower Remedies

               Reckoned as a noteworthy alternative therapy it has now become the most sought after treatment in India.

 

                     Flower remedy is an alternate therapeutic method that can be used for the treatment of various ailments in human beings. It is almost similar like homeopathic treatment. The natural extracts from flowers are taken and used in the therapy. The extracts are not used in the concentrated form, but applied in diluted form. Only a small amount of flower extract in solution gives the desired effect. The preparation of flower remedies is not an easy job. To prepare flower remedy the person must have knowledge and a lot of skill.

                  Though flower remedies have many similarities with homeopathy practice but the method of preparation is markedly different. This rigorous method is done to make the flower remedies more effective than the homeopathic therapies. 

Sound bath

                         The first symptom of stress fighting while one hears a tune is an increase in deep breathing as well as acceleration in serotonin hormone production. Even during the dental treatment music is proven to reduce pain. When one works if music plays in the background it definitely reduces stress. Music is found to reduce the heart rates and promote higher body temperature, which is an indication of the onset of relaxation. The relaxation therapy is more effective when it works in combination of music therapy.

                        To relieve stress one can take a twenty-minute `Sound bath`. One must lie in the couch or floor in a comfortable position with the liking music playing in a sound system. One can even wear headphones to concentrate more on the music. The focus should be on breath and concentration should be given on the gaps of the tones. The music should be allowed to wash over the body and mind so that it can bring complete relaxation. A slow rhythmic music is always much effective than a faster one. Indian classical ragas are proved to be very effective. But if one wants to boost him/her up after a day`s fatigue he/she must listen to some faster music instead of a calm one. One can also chose a familiar music like childhood song or good oldies for the music therapy and relaxation. Listening to natural music like waves of sea or falling of raindrops is also helpful in relieving stress.

                          A single music is not good for everyone. Different people have different taste of music and it is important to like the music to get its full beneficial effect. There are some common guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of the music.

                  The modern days music therapy is not fully developed yet. It needs further research and the therapeutic system must be guided by the experts.

Music therapy in India has a rich history

                       Music therapy is all about music therefore. An extensive research reveals that any given piece of music system produce many physiological response. But many of the music have bad effect on health like hard rock, heavy metal etc. This produces unusual EEG reports. Any live performance of music, even in a moderately louder volume has a very beneficial effect. Whenever the proper sound is experienced synchronization occurs between left and right hemisphere of brain. The EEG pattern changes to normal voltage spiking pattern to smooth sinusoidal waveform and the usual voltage difference equalizes. The entire human energetic level is extremely influenced by sounds and the physical body as well as the `Chakra` system responds specifically to certain tones and frequencies. Even the effect of music occurs especially when one is playing or creating music by oneself.

                       Music therapy in India has a rich history of its own. The musicologists of India observed the ever engaging and invincible quality of music or sound. Music therapy in India hence stands as the arrangement of sound in definite order to raise varied feelings. These diverse feelings further influence the particular DNA and also excite the hormones. Diseases like Stress, sleeplessness, amnesia, autism etc can actually be healed with this magical touch of Music therapy.

Music helps

Music helps in the treatment of the diseases in the following way-

Music acts as a sedative and thereby can replace the use of tranquillizers or at least can reduce the dosage of tranquillizers.

Music increases the metabolic activities within the human body. It accelerates the rate of respiration, increases the hormonal secretion, affects the muscular activities and thereby affects the total Central Nervous System and Circulatory System of the listener of the music.

            Many experts suggest that it is the rhythm of the music or the beats that has the calming effect on the nervous system without making the person very conscious about it. The commonest example is baby in the womb of mother is influenced by the heartbeat of mother. Even at the later stage of life a person responds to the soothing music, which perhaps associate with the safe, relaxed and protected environment of Mother`s womb. After much research therefore music has made its presence felt as an alternative form of treatment hence the very concept of music therapy is wide and engaging. The automatic process of music therapy therefore does a deep central healing while setting the right combination of sounds.

Music Therapy

Music therapy is an old concept which is under research and development so that it comes in effect to cure many diseases

 

 Music therapy also known as sound healing is a particular process where "sound" is employed in healing diseases.

Listening to the music provides wonderful effect to alleviate stress. Music is a significant mood changer and reliever of stress, working on many levels at the same time. Music of choice has always been a great healer. Thus music has frequently been used as the therapeutic agent from the ancient times. Music produces the effect of Yoga through the generation of sonorous sound, which acts upon human organism to awaken and develop the proper function of various organ systems so that it ultimately leads to self-realization. The music therapy was common in ancient India as self-realization was the ultimate goal of Hindu Philosophy and religion. The key of Indian classical music is melody. Various Ragas have been found to be very effective in curing many diseases. Though it should always be remembered that every body have their different taste of music. So listening forcefully of a relaxing music, which the patient does not like, might enhance taste instead of alleviating it.
