32. HEART DISEASES 87

Symptoms

Strong beating sound in the chest ,chest pain, breathing

troubles, trembling of arms and legs etc. are the symptoms of

this disease.

Causes:

There can be many reasons for heart disease.

1.Persons who keep their stomachs ful and heavy need a

greater blood supply for their stomachs, and their hearts have

to overwork in order to keep up that extra supply

Consequently their hearts become weak. 91

2. Persons above thirty – five or forty years of age who

consume an excessive quantity of non- vegetarian food out of

greed may also suffer from heart disease; because

non-vegetarian food increases the acidity of the blood, and

this compels the heart to overwork in order to purify the

blood; and the heart becomes weak .An increase in the acidity

of blood also gradually weakens other organs of the body ,

and those weaknesses directly or indirectly weaken the heart.

3. Taking excessive fatty and oil food and not undertaking a

proportional amount of physical labor loads the human

Nervous system down with at ,and as a result it becomes

impossible for the nerves to properly assist the heart .as a

result the heart becomes weak. Fat accumulated in the nerves

and blood vessels terribly hampers the blood circulation ,and

in order to maintain the circulation , the heart is forced to

overwork .as a consequence the heart soon becomes weak.

4. Due to the debility o the liver .surplus fat o the body

may get a chance to accumulate in the nerves and blood

vessels ,and the heart naturally becomes weak .Usually patients

of this condition have chronic dysentery also.

5. Another reason for heart disease is the practice of eating

too much food at one sitting with little or no appetite;

because taking a large quantity of food enlarges the stomach,

and that enlarged stomach starts putting pressure on the heart

above it. Persons who do not have breakfast and a afternoon

snack usually eat heavy meals at lunch and dinner .If such a

habit continues day after day ,their stomachs get enlarged and

they suffer from heart disease.

6. Constipation is another reason for heart disease .If the

bowels are not cleared ,the accumulated stool decays inside

the body and breeds a certain type of germ. If these germs get

a chance to strike the heart ,the patient suffers from heart

disease.

7. Ill-tempered persons also run the risk of heart disease, 92

because in ager the flow of blood to the head and face

becomes suddenly accelerated (which makes these people turn

red). To supply this extra blood ,the heart has suddenly to

work very hard .That is why persons who are habitually

ill-tempered suffer from weakness of the heart .For the same

reason ,extreme shyness may make the heart very weak.

8. In extreme fright also ,the blood all of a sudden leaves

the other parts of the body and rushes towards the heart in

great quantity. It is difficult for the heart to stand this pressure,

so in extreme fright the heart pounds or palpitates ,and often

even stops beating and causes death .(People have often been

known to die of heart failure in fear of imaginary ghosts ;and

just before death or immediately thereafter , such

,terror stricken people suffer from bleeding from the mouth

and other people see it and think that the victims

have really been killed by ghosts).So fearful persons are often

found to be suffering from heart disease.

9. For the same reason ,indulgence in sex causes heart

to strain and the breathing to become heavy .so habitually

passionate people also suffer from heart disease. too much

seminal loss in young people also brings about heart disease.

10. Use of wine ,tobacco, viri, cigarettes and other

intoxicants increase the acidity of the blood ,weaken the

glandular system ,and ultimately prevent the active

co-operation of the heart and the glands ,causing them to fall

sick.

11. When a person suffers from devitalizing or chronic

disease for a long time ,his or her blood will become weak

And to revitalize that blood ,the person’s heart has to

overwork ,and gradually the heart becomes weak. that is why

with beriberi , pneumonia, tuberculosis, diabetes, gonorrhea,

syphilis and female disease ,the longer a patient suffers, the

more the heart becomes weak ,and when it becomes

extremely weak it stops and the patient dies.

Treatment: 93

Morning—Utksepa Mudra,(don’t drink too much water),

Yogamudra,Diirgha Pranama, Bhujaungasana,Vayavii Mudra

or Vyavii Pranayama and Padahastasana.

Evening –Yogamudra,Diirgha Pranama ,Bhujaungasana,

Padahastana and Vayavii Mudra Mudra or Vayavii Pranayama

Remember that patients should practice no asanas and

mudras other than Utksepa Mudra when the disease is critical

Only after some improvement in the disease should these

asanas and mudra’s be practiced.When patients are more or

less cured,they should practice Karmasana instead of

Padahastana.the practice of Vyapaka Snana is also

especially helpful in this disease.

Diet:

Only fruits and milk should be taken with disease

Breakfast and afternoon snacks should also be composed of

fruits and milk only .at noon a very small quantity of

easily digestible and non constipating food should be taken ;it

is better to refrain from eating rice or ruti but a little boiled

rice can be taken.(Patients should not eat bananas

after sunset.) Those who cannot digest milk or who for some

reason are unable to procure it ,may drink curd water instead

One shoul not add salt to food while eating .Care should be

taken to let breath flow thorugh the right nostril for some

time after meal.

Do’s and don’ts:

Patients should never eat a lot at one sitting – rather they

should eat a small quantity at a time ,several times. When

patients are critically ill they should eat nothing but milk ,fruit

juice especially orange /tangerine and tomato) ,milk or water

with honey ,and the juice of spinach ,kalamii,beto,

punarnava ,shushuni or shulpha .when thirsty ,drink water

with a little lemon juice.

Yogika Chikitsa 94

Sleeping during the day ,keeping late nights ,and greedily

eating a full stomach of food are all very dangerous for heart

patients. Dinner invitations usually involve rich food, so

patients should not accept dinner invitations .they should go

to bed between 8 and 8:30 in the evening.

One should again remember that eating a small quantity of

spinach , beto, kalamii, shulpha, shushuni or punarnava-leafy

vegetables- is good for heart patients. Bara elaca is also

particularly helpful in curing this disease .Utmost attention

must be paid to clearing the bowels.

Heart patients should sleep at least nine hours at night. The

mind

should always be held back from anger and lust .Physical

and mental, exertion garrulousness and sex should all be

strictly avoided.

Some remedies:

1. Everyday in the morning and before retiring to bed at

night ,patients should take spoonful of bara elaca,powdered

along with the husk ,with honey .this will give good results.

2. The juice of shulpha greens mixed with honey is very

useful in heart diseases.

3. A spoonful of cinnamon powder with a little honey,

taken twice a day, will bring excellent results.

4. Take 1/16 tola of bhumi kusmanda powder with little

honey twice a day.

1..::ASTHMA::.

Symptoms:

Difficulty in breathing, caused partly by kapha and partly by Vayu, is the

symptom of this disease. The attack is usually felt towards the end of the

night.

Causes:

When the fine bronchial tubes through which air flows to the lungs become full

of phlegm or mucus due to weakness of the glands connected to the Anahata Cakra,

(*) the passage of air becomes obstructed. Due to contraction of the weak

bronchial tubes, the carbon dioxide of the body cannot come out as it should,

and that poisonous gas, trapped in the body, is to a large extent responsible

for the breeding of disease germs.

The weakening of the glands connected to the Anahata Cakra cannot alone be

responsible for permanent respiratory trouble. When weakness of the glands

related to the Manipura Cakra (*) -- as a primary cause -- and of those related

to the Vishuddha Cakra (*Psychic‑energy centres located at the mid‑point of the

chest, the navel an the throat, respectively.)-- as a secondary cause-- is added

to the weakness of the glands of the Anahata Cakra, then only does a respiratory

disease express itself. If, due to weakness of the digestive fluids, the blood

gets contaminated by acids, or if one is suffering from constipation, then

different organs of the body also become weak. In such a condition, due to

weakness of the lungs, the nervous system controlling the lungs also suffers

from debility and finally the bronchial tubes as well become weak. That is the

time when asthma becomes fully manifest.

Diet:

For breakfast patients should eat local sweet or sour fruits, or meoya fruits

soaked in water for a few hours. A little lemon juice should be consumed a

number of times during the day. The patient should never completely fill the

stomach. The bowels should be cleared carefully, because constipation aggravates

asthma. As for food, a small quantity of hot boiled rice or ruti, together with

sufficient leafy‑vegetable soup, milk, curd (yogurt) or curd‑water should be

used. In fact all alkaline foods are beneficial in this disease. Ghee, oil,

rice, pulses, rutis, and all non‑vegetarian foods are acidic, therefore the less

these are taken the better.

Do’s and Don’ts:

Milk should be the main drink for asthma patients. It is better for them to

finish the evening meal as early as possible, certainly by an hour and a half

after sunset, that is, by 7:30 or 8 PM, because it will keep the stomach light,

having digested the food well before dawn. Then acute asthmatic spasms cannot

occur. Remember that asthmatic spasms cannot occur when one's stomach hungers

for food, so in a severe attach of asthma, the more one fasts, the better.

Asthma patients should strictly abstain from all sorts of intoxicants. Anyone

who drinks less than three‑fourths seer of milk a day should not drink even one

cup of tea. Also, all non‑vegetarian types of food are to rejected.

For a person who cannot avoid eating non‑vegetarian food, a little soup of small

and freshly‑caught fish is permissible. In those countries where it is almost

impossible to obtain vegetarian types of food, patients should use myrobalan or

some other laxative agent after meals in order to save themselves from

constipation. In summer, winter and in all seasons, patients should take a long

walk in the open air.

Some remedies:

1. Excellent results can be achieved if the patient takes on tola of the branch

roots of white punarnava ground together in river water with 2 1/2 pieces of

black pepper. Do this on an empty stomach while sitting facing north, on any

Monday, after bathing.

2. Boil 5 tolas of cow's ghee in a kansa pot. In another pot heat 2 1/2 tolas of

ginger extract, and mix it into the boiled ghee and cover with a Kansa plate.

When the mixture has stopped simmering, take about 2 tolas and pour it into 1/8

seer of hotmilk and give it to the asthma patient to drink when his/her

suffering is acute. Plenty of mucus and phlegm will immediately be brought up,

and the patient will feel relieved. If the mixture can be taken continuously for

fifteen days, the disease will be completely cured.

3. Catch a frog and take out its heart. Cut the heart into four parts. For four

consecutive mornings, after having a bath, eat one piece together with a banana

on a completely empty stomach. It will bring good results.

4. Catch 6 or 7 cockroaches and boil them in half a seer of water. When the

water has boiled down to 1/8 seer (10 tolas), strain it carefully and drink it

hot twice a day, 5 tolas each time. This relieves asthma.

5. Burn a peacock feather to ashes and take 1/16 tola of the ashes by slowly

licking with honey. This will relieve the suffering of asthma within a short

time.

6. Aged raw cane sugar and pure mustard oil mixed in equal quantities

(preferably one tola each), if taken by licking them each day early in the

morning for twenty‑one days continuously on an empty stomach, will give

excellent results in asthma.

----------------------------------------o0o----------------------------------------

2.::ACIDITY::.

Symptoms:

Physical weakness, acidic or watery belching, dizziness, burning stomach,

heartburn, etc.

Causes:

Oxygen inhaled in breathing enters the body and eventually turns into carbon

dioxide. Through the influence of this carbon dioxide, the digestive

fluid‑secreting glands are activated. If food is taken irregularly and

excessively day after day, or if food is forced down with little or no appetite,

or if eating rich food becomes a steady habit, it becomes impossible for the

digestive fluid to digest the food properly. then, just as one the one hand the

undigested or partially‑ digested food turns into poisonous gas, so on the other

hand the secreted digestive fluid gradually turns into harmful acid.

The digestive fluids are themselves acidic, but under normal conditions when

they digest food they themselves are digested. When, however, as a result of the

aforesaid irregularities, they are unable to digest the food, the fluids

themselves also remain undigested.

The cause of acidity, therefore, is the poisonous gas being produced by the

decomposed food, together with the putrid acid produced by the deterioration of

the undigested fluids.

The putrid acidic gas and fluids cause a burning sensation in the stomach. When

they rise up to the chest they cause heartburn; when they reach the throat,

burning is felt in the throat; when they rise further they cause dizziness.

Due to this excessive acidity, the blood becomes acid‑ dominated. Being

overworked, the blood‑purifying organs of the body also become weak, and the

patient feels weak.

This over‑acidity of the blood also causes swelling and consequent pain in

different parts of the body, especially the joints. The name of this condition

is 'rheumatism.'

When a strong and continuous effort is being made by the body's organs to purify

the over‑acid blood, this condition is called 'colic' or 'shooting pain.'

Diet:

In acidity boiled old rice (grains a few years old), soup of green vegetables

(no vegetables fried, parched, or taken in large quantity), juicy sweet or sour

fruits, and curd‑water are especially useful. Curd (yogurt) alone is not

particularly beneficial for acidity patients.

Do’s and Don’ts:

For patients of acidity it is particularly important to walk in the open air, to

eat less food than the appetite demands, and to drink plenty of water, in small

amounts, at intervals throughout the day. Coconut and coconut foods and

medicines are especially useful in this disease. Patients should refrain from

eating breakfast and snacks. If the hunger is unbearable, the patient may eat a

little bit of juicy fruit. A frequent symptom of this disease is that, due to

old habits, the digestive glands discharge an excessive quantity of fluids, as a

result of which the patient suddenly feels an extreme hunger at odd times, which

is called 'demon hunger.' That is why we find that a patient who is often in a

depressed mood about his/her disease or goes around talking about the disease to

everyone, when he/she sits down to eat, eats excessively. This symptom is the

result of the secretion of digestive fluids at a particular time in accordance

with the old habits of the patient. It is therefore desirable to be cautious

about this 'demon,' detrimental hunger. An acidity patient should never violate

these do's and don'ts.

If due to the over‑secretion of digestive fluids the patient suffers from 'demon

hunger,' it can be relieved by drinking a large glass of water. When the acidity

patient feels pain, it is advisable to drink orange or tangerine juice mixed in

tepid water. After the pain has subsided, lemon juice in cold water should be

taken. As with dyspepsia, during mealtime and for an hour thereafter breath

should be flowing through the patient's right nostril.

At the time of severe colic pain, the dominant flow of breath should be changed

from the nostril through which it was flowing at the time the pain started to

the other nostril. allowing the bile to accumulate by not taking something when

one is hungry should never be permitted, because in that even the undigested

bile itself will become the cause of acidity.

Some remedies:

1. Eat some shredded dry coconut along with a prepared betel (Piper betle Linn.)

leaf, or some flesh of mature coconut along with aniseed.

2. To get immediate relief from a distressing colic pain, equal quantities of

chalk and atapa rice powder should be ground together, and 1/2 tola of the

mixture should be taken.

3. Take with cold water 1/16 of the white portion of the ashes of the tamarind (Tamarindus

indica Linn) pod.

4. Take 1/16 tola of the ashes of white akanda leaf and rock salt after burning

them together in equal quantities in an enclosed earthen pot.

5. As with dyspepsia, it is desirable for acidity patients to observe fasting on

Ekadashii days and regulation of diet on Purnima and Amavasya.

3.::DIABETES::.

Symptoms:

Incessant desire for urination, burning sensation in the urinary tract,

continuous thirst and sweet taste in the mouth, attraction of flies and ants

towards the urine, headache, dizziness, pale and dry skin, becoming old in

appearance at a young age, discomfort all over the body, etc., taken together,

are the indications of diabetes. It is often found that diabetic persons suffer

from cataracts.

Causes:

It is not always the case that sugar is present in the urine of diabetes

patients. Diabetes with sugar in the urine is called 'somaroga' or 'madhumeha'.

Diabetes without sugar is called 'muratisara' or 'udakameha'.

The debility of the Manipura Cakra (* Psychic‑energy center located at the

navel.) is the main cause of diabetes. Amongst the pancreatic juices, one

secretion helps in the digestion of food, and another separates the sugar

content from non‑vegetarian and starchy types of food. The sugar is then stored

in a particular section of the liver and according to body requirements it is

dissolved to generate heat and vital power to run the body mechanism. Chronic

indigestion, constipation (here also the stool usually turns into pellets), and

excessive seminal waste-- all weaken the vitality of the liver. When such

weakening takes place, the sugar contents of the food, failing to find a storage

place in the liver, are assimilated into the blood and gradually accumulate. As

a result, the blood gets polluted and loses its immune properties to a great

extent. The natural reaction of the body in such a situation is to try to purify

the blood by separating out its sugar content and expelling it with the urine.

To dissolve the sugar, the human body needs plenty of water, and that is why

diabetes patients suffer from a continuous thirst. Sugar emitted with the urine

in a large quantity gradually reduces the vital energy of diabetes patients.

Diet:

As diabetes is basically a disease of liver and pancreas, care has to be taken

to keep these organs in a healthy state, and to do so patients must select food

that will keep their bowels clear, yet which is nutritious and easily

digestible. All types of fruits are good for this disease, especially ripe

bananas. Non‑vegetarian food must never be eaten. Vegetable proteins are also

acidic, hence they are to eaten as sparingly as possible. It is therefore

advisable to reduce the intake of rice and ruti (made of wheat flour) and

instead to use more foods such as vegetable soup, plantain soup, patol, okra,

dhundula, palta, squash (Lagenaria vulgaris Seringe), plantain spathes and

flowers, figs, etc., which contain alkaline properties.PRIVATE

Do’s and Don’ts:

Diabetes is the disease of intellectuals. Those who do physical labor seldom

suffer from this disease. Undergoing mental exertion, remaining indoors for a

long period, physical laziness, constipation, intemperance, etc., are reasons

for the contraction of diabetes. As has already been said, diabetes is basically

connected with the liver and the pancreas, hence only those foods should be

selected which do not over‑stimulate those vital organs. Similarly, work and

exercise which will help to bring these organs into their normal state of health

must be pursued more and more. For those who are adverse to physical labor, a

cure from diabetes is next to impossible.

The human body also needs the nutrients offered by starchy and non‑vegetarian

types of food; therefore foods which are not acidic but rather alkaline, yet

contain those nutrients, should be taken in greater quantity to meet those

needs. This will include coconut, peanuts, curd (yogurt), bananas, etc. A drink

of peanut extract and water without sugar and with little or no honey is ideal

as both food and medicine for this disease.

Remember that insulin may increase the vitality of a patient but can never cure

the disease.

Generally diabetes patients are a bit greedy, and sometimes they eat too much

sweetened food, which brings on the disease. Diabetes patients must keep control

over such temptations and should practice fasting.

In the severe state of the disease a continuous fast for two or three days

taking nothing but a little juice of lemon or other fruit will definitely reduce

the sugar content of the urine.

Sometimes sugar is completely absent in the urine. In this respect one has to

remember that sugar may be found temporarily in the urine if the urinary

bladder, kidney or some other internal organ is subjected to a blow. If in such

cases insulin is given, it will actually harm the patient. Under such

circumstances the best thing to do would be to treat the injury of the concerned

organ appropriately, and then the urine of the patient will automatically become

sugar‑free.

Some remedies:

1. Boil myrobalan, mutha, lodha and banyan fruits in equal quantities and drink

2 tolas of the extract early in the morning for a few days regularly. This will

bring a good result.

2. Crush about 1/8 seer of guava leaves in water at night. The next morning

strain the leaves out and drink the water. This will bring good results during

the severe state of diabetes.

3. (a) 1 tola of yajina dumura juice with honey; or

(b) 1 tola of telakuca leaf extract taken with honey early in the morning by

licking it; will relieve diabetes.

4. (a) 1/16 tola of the inside of jam seeds with honey; or

(b) Dry shimula root crushed with powder, to be licked with honey in a quantity

of 1/16 tola; will yield excellent results with diabetes.

5. When the disease is worsening, 5 tolas of bansha leaves in half a seer of

water, boiled down to 1/8 seer, and the leaves strained out, should be drunk for

immediate results.

6. Boil gente durba, vahina dumura, emblic myrobalan (emblica offinalis Gaetrn.),

myrobalan, coriander seeds and gandha‑mutha in equal quantities in half a seer

of water. When boiled down to 1/8 seer, drink it. Do this every day for a week

at break of dawn. This will bring beautiful results.

----------------------------------------o0o----------------------------------------

4.::RHEUMATISM::.

Symptoms:

Swelling and contractions of the muscles or of different joints, acute pain or

deformity of the swollen parts, etc., are the symptoms of this disease.

Causes:

The causes of this disease are just like those of acidity. That is to say,

rheumatism occurs when the vayu bodily air is disturbed due to excess of

poisonous acids in the body.

Treatment: Same as for acidity.

Rheumatism patients should drink a sufficient quantity of water (say four to

five seers a day, but not much at a time), and should also observe he bathing

and sun‑bathing procedures. First the diseased limb should be exposed several

times to the rays of the sun, and finally the entire body. The prescribed

procedure for sun‑bathing should be carefully followed, i.e., exposing the

particular limb or the entire body to the sun for fifteen to twenty minutes at a

stretch at the time fixed for summer or winter months (see Appendix). When the

particular limb or the entire body, as the case may be, has become sufficiently

warm, the patient should retire to the shade and wipe the area with a wet towel.

This can be repeated several times.

Diet:

When a person's system becomes acid‑dominated rheumatism is the consequence.

Hence the more a patient takes alkaline types of food, the better. If

three‑fourths of the food is alkaline, it will cure rheumatism completely within

a very short time. That is to say, all kinds of sweet and sour fruits and roots,

are good for a rheumatism patient. Fasting with lemon juice and water on

Ekadashii, Purnima and Amavasya days must be observed. Instead of cooked rice,

it is better to take relatively dry food like ruti at night. But it is always

better for rheumatism patients to take as little as possible starchy and acidic

food such as rice, ruti, luci, etc., and instead to take fruits, roots,

vegetable soups, etc., which are alkaline.

Do’s and Don’ts:

Just as for acidity; special care must be taken to clear the bowels regularly.

Some special remedies:

All remedies prescribed for acidity are also applicable in this disease. In

addition--

1. When rheumatism first starts expressing itself, a mild purgative will cure it

quickly. 10 or 12 tender leaves of sodala fried in ghee; or

2. 10 or 12 tender leaves of bichuti fried in ghee-- either of the two eaten

with rice, will yield good results in the initial stages of rheumatism.

3. Castor oil with a little salt; or

4. Akanda gum with a little salt; rubbed on the rheumatic limbs, will give good

results.

5. Rheumatism can be cured by placing a warm solution of sajane gum mixed with

water and a little asafetida (Ferula foetida Regel) on the affected limb, or by

applying

6. Garlic, ginger and the root of apamarga, pounded together, to the affected

limb.

7. Fry some pork in mustard oil and rub that oil on the limbs. This will ease

the pain.

8. Tiger fat rubbed on the limbs will work similarly.

9. Either anantamula extract with honey: or

10. Gulainca extract; duly cooled and taken in 5 tolas quantity every morning

will yield good results within a very short time.

11. Boil 2 tolas of triphala in half a seer of water; and when it has boiled

down to 1/8 seer and is still warm, add 2 tolas of ginger extract. Drinking this

for three days will surely cure rheumatic fever as well as elephantiasis,

filaria, or any similar condition.
