What is the Ayurvedic diet?

It’s looking at which season you're in, what kind of body type you have, and following the laws of mother nature. Where you are and what season you're in; you eat according to that, following the laws of mother nature.

Ayurveda is the science of life; everything which has to do with life from your conception to your death, everything which you do has input in the ayurvedic medicine.

Is Ayurveda effective?

Ayurveda is very effective because it's been used for more than 5000 years. It was the only mode of medicine that was practiced until the British went to India. They even robbed Indians of their traditional system of surgery. They learned plastic surgery from Indians. There were lots of other modes of treatment which were completely discouraged or omitted by the British. The Muslims and Mongols did some damage too, but they adopted that method and a combination of the medicine. The royalty protected ayurvedic knowledge, and the practices and the masses were given that knowledge. People provided medical care through Ayurvedic doctors.

Ayurveda can help almost anything; from your lifestyle to anti-aging, from diseases like the common cold to cancer. Ayurveda is a full branch of science, which is very detailed. Following the simple laws of mother nature; breathing, exercise, yoga, nutrition guidelines, and the sleep-wake cycle helps with sexuality, parenting, or warding off diseases. Ayurvedic medicine is the first branch that has anti-aging medicine described; which means you keep yourself healthy until you die. You create a circle of health. You don't die of a disease, but you die of the failure. Every heart is a pump. It has a specific life cycle, and it's going to fail after many millions of minutes of pumping. The model is to create sustainable health, which will last forever until you die. It’s not disease-oriented like the allopathic medicine where you have a pill for stomach pain or headache. We are not focusing on helping the disease; we are managing the symptoms of the disease. We’re neither helping to cure people nor looking at the root cause of the disease.

What are the common questions asked by an Ayurvedic doctor?

The common questions which the doctor will ask always include how your mind is, what your mental and emotional status is, what you're feeling, whether happy or sad. Are you fearful? Do you have anxiety or feel angry? Then questions are asked about your food, what kind of food you eat, how often you eat, where you eat it, and what time you wear it. Then about your digestion, how your bowel movement is, does it float or sink, the color of the poop, do you have any gas bloating? How your urination is. For females, whether you have issues during, before, and after your menstrual cycle, how you sleep and what time you go to sleep, the kind of exercises you do—the sort of stress reduction you do, and how your sexuality is.

What are the common Ayurvedic treatments?

The most common ayurvedic treatment starts with breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, and then nutritional changes, dietary guidelines after considering what's going on with your body. It is common to use spices and herbs in specific formulation, out of the information or, particular ailments to create a balance. What does it mean? Like you have a balance in your pushchairs, you have a balance in your tissues and on top of it, you're feeling happy in your mind; you’re content. Then you are called a healthy person.

How is the diagnosis made?

There are three methods of evaluating a person. The first one is called looking at a person, for example, when somebody is oxygen-deprived, you look bluish. That's one way of looking at it. We won't look at the eyes and color of the eyes, the face color, and the color of your hair or your skin. How is your life, if you have any fear in your life, if you have pain in your eyes; what's going on with you inside, as they look at the pulse. There are different layers of both that you examine. You look at what are the internal organs doing, like your liver, lungs, or heart. The third matter is questioning our political pressure. The first is called looking at; then you're touching and then the pressure. That means you are asking questions.

What is Ayurvedic healing?

The healing is a process where you are focusing on getting your body, mind, and spirit in balance. You create a place where you feel content; you feel happy; you have no disease. Your mind is kind of in a very tranquil phase than your illness.

Can Ayurveda cure diseases?

Yes. I think Ayurveda can only cure diseases. There is symptomatic relief medicine like a high for cholesterol; you give your drugs without looking at the cause of what's causing the high cholesterol. Do you have diabetes? Let's try to bring your blood sugar down without fixing diabetes because that does not solve the allopathic medicine.

What diet does Ayurvedic medicine prescribe at night?

Everything is light at night. Because you're going to sleep, you're not doing any significant activity. If you eat too heavy, oily, or also fried, you're not going to be able to digest it. The analogy which I tell my patients is, when your car is in the garage, you don't need gas at that time. When you're on the highway, you need gas at that time. Eat good breakfast, good lunch and a lighter dinner so that you can feel light the next morning.

What was the traditional Ayurvedic Medicine?

The administration required the taking of two meals, which was not breakfast but the morning meal and the dinner in the evening. You eat when the sun is coming up at 7 or 8 a.m. and night before the sun goes down. That was the original method that Ayurveda medicine was asking people to follow. But with the British system came three parts where you can have a good breakfast, a good lunch, and a lighter dinner. It will still encompass the Ayurveda style.

Who founded Ayurveda?

Ayurveda was one of the earliest Indian sciences which is considered a branch of the full vedas and the Ayurveda is of the branch called Arthur Vedas. So Vedas has explained about the lifestyle and how we can achieve longevity in health in the Vedas textbooks.

Does science support Ayurveda?

Yes. In the latest research that is done, it is showing that Ayurvedic models were very right with the latest research, especially molecular biology and genetic research. We are vindicating the concept of Ayurveda medicine like meditation, yoga, and exercises; all we have been using for centuries. They are finding those hopes as the same uses as they were intended five thousand years ago—for example, diabetes, stress reduction, lowering cholesterol, for dichromatic inflation.

Are there side effects of Ayurvedic medicine?

Like anything else, there are side effects to everything, including drinking water, but the side effects of Ayurveda are negligible compared to lethargic medicine side effects.

Why should Ayurveda be used today?

Ayurveda has been time tested for centuries and people are finding benefits in it. The resurgence in interest in Ayurveda medicine around the world and especially back in India. A lot of research which is going on in India and around the world, which is fascinating, is that even what was said about it 5000 years ago is still relevant today.

Is Ayurveda related to Hinduism, and do you have to be a Hindu to use it?

Ayurvedic medicine was practiced by Indians, and that's why it's called Hindu medicine. But you don't have to be Indian to practice Ayurveda. Ayurveda medicine was also adopted by Muslim cultures, and they learned from it. It's widespread in many Muslim countries to practice Ayurveda like Bangladesh and Srilanka. There was an exchange of knowledge between India and those countries. It spread from India to China.

Is Ghee good for bacteria?

It depends on what you have. If you have an issue with your colon and having good bacteria, then ghee can be an excellent source for propagating good bacteria. Ghee is palmitic acid; it is the food which the colon bacteria can use to multiply. However, if you have ulcers in your stomach like you have a gallbladder issue, it can be harmful. An Ayurvedic doctor can look at you and tell what is going on depending on symptoms and examination. If you have the reflex or stomach issue, stomach pain, gallbladder issue, it may not be the best thing at that time but if you have colon issues, large intestine issues it can be useful.

Is papaya good for constipation?

Papaya may not be good; you can take it in Moderation.

What is the best Ayurveda for constipation?

The first thing is the food; eating more vegetables and fiber-rich foods like lettuce. In Ayurvedic medicine, we put a lot of emphasis on that. The best treatment in Ayurveda medicine goes along with eating healthy vegetables and fruits.
