यहाँ हम बात कर रहें हैं "अगद तंत्र" या विष विज्ञानं की.. आर्य चाणक्य के काल में किसी शक्तिशाली राजा से जब युद्ध में जीतना संभव नहीं होता था तब शत्रु उस राजा को मारने के लिए विष का प्रयोग करता था और किसी प्रकार राजा के शरीर में विष का प्रवेश करा देता था और तब राजवैध लोग उस राजा को मरने से बचाने के लिए "अगद" का प्रयोग करते थे और यह अगद शरीर में से हर तरह के विष को नष्ट कर देता था. अगद एक आर्युवेदिक औषधि का प्रकार है जिसका प्रयोग सिर्फ राजा के महलों में ही किया जाता था, क्योकि इसमें प्रयुक्त जड़ी बूटियाँ बहुत ही दुर्लभ किस्म की होती है. अगद को हम जहर का तोड़ भी कह सकतें हैं, विश्व में जितने भी तरह के विष है उन सबके तोड़ भी उसी प्रकार हैं - हमारे प्राचीन ऋषि मुनियों ने हजारों वर्षों के शोध के बाद लगभग हर विष का अगद खोज निकाला है, पर आमजन को आज भी इनके बारे में उतनी जानकारी नहीं हैं.

तब और अब के समय में अंतर सिर्फ इतना है कि तब राजा के शत्रु राजा को विष दिया करते थे और आज हमारे द्वारा लिए जा रहे अन्न, जल, और वायु कई तरह के प्रदुषण के कारण हमारे शरीर में असंख्य विषमय पदार्थ रोज प्रवेश कर रहें हैं फलत: हमारे शरीर में कई तरह के रोग व्याप्त हो रहें हैं जैसे:

हिपाटाईटीस, लीवर के रोग, त्वचा के रोग, टीबी, कैंसर, एड्स, कीमोथेरपी के बाद के कष्ट, किडनी की बीमारियाँ, शराब पीने से हो जाने वाले रोग इत्यादि.

लेकिन अब अगद तंत्र का समुचित अध्यन करके उसी अगद का एक कैप्सूल के रूप में निर्माण किया जा चुका है और अगद को सर्वजन के लिए सुलभ किया गया है. और इस कैप्सूल का नाम है -  डीटोक्स

इस कैप्सूल में भी हमारे तैतीस करोड देवी देवताओं की भाँति तैतीस प्रकार की जड़ी बूटियों से बनाया गया है जैसा कि अगद तंत्र में बताया गया है, एक एक जड़ी बूटी को हिमालय की गोद से एकत्र किया गया है, एक से एक दुर्लभ जड़ी को खोज निकाला गया है -

Ayurvedic Tips for Good Digestion...

Here are some universally applicable principles of eating that ayurvedic healers recommend to keep your digestion working efficiently:

1. Eat three meals a day.
Fasting and skipping meals are not recommended in ayurveda because they throw the digestion rhythm off. A light breakfast, a substantial lunch and a light dinner allow you to keep in tune with the ebb and flow of the digestive fire, which builds up during the morning, peaks around noon and then ebbs again in the evening.

As soon as you get up, drink a cup of hot water to which a tablespoon of lemon juice has been added. This will help elimination, get the digestive juices flowing, and cleanse out the digestive tract. Caffeinated beverages are not recommended in ayurveda.

A light breakfast is essential to kick-start the digestion and provide energy necessary to get through the activity of the day. If you wait until lunch to eat a proper meal, chances are you'll be tempted to wade into that packet of potato chips or get a doughnut some time during the morning. Have a stewed apple or pear, and then follow 30 minutes later with some warm cereal or a whole-wheat flatbread spread with a little honey or almond butter. Warm cooked foods are preferred as breakfast items over cold cereal, cold milk and cold juice, all of which are harder on the waking digestive fire.

For a mid-morning snack, choose fresh fruit an apple for Kapha, a sweet pear for Pitta and a mango or some strawberries for Vata. Fruit is best eaten in the morning, and on its own.

The ideal ayurvedic lunch includes two or three kinds of vegetables, one of which should be a leafy green; a lentil or bean dish or a paneer dish; a whole grain; a chutney or relish; a small helping of a warm salad or soup; and lassi, a beverage made by blending together fresh yogurt and water. All of the dishes should be cooked with dosha-appropriate spices, and using a dosha-appropriate healthy fat ghee for Vata and Pitta and olive oil for Kapha are good choices. This may seem like a huge meal, but portions can be kept small to moderate the variety is crucial for wholesome, balanced nutrition.

If you need a mid-afternoon snack, eat a small helping of soaked nuts (almonds should be blanched) if you are trying to balance Vata, or some sunflower or pumpkin seeds if you are trying to balance Pitta or Kapha. Popcorn in moderation without salt or butter is also fine for Kapha, and soaked blanched almonds for Pitta.

For dinner eat a small, light meal a one-dish vegetable/grain casserole or a vegetable/lentil soup with a whole-wheat flatbread, for example.

Drink lots of pure water through the day, but limit your water or beverage intake at meals. Do not drink iced, carbonated or caffeinated beverages and avoid alcohol and milk with meals.

At bedtime, drink a cup of warm milk spiced with nutmeg for Vata, cardamom for Pitta and ginger for Kapha.

Fresh foods are easier to digest, so cook only what you think you will eat at a meal. To enhance the appetite, have a slice of fresh ginger root spiked with some rock salt and fresh lemon juice about an hour before a meal. Chew fennel seeds after a meal to enhance digestion and freshen the breath naturally. Taking rasayanas such as Amalaki and Triphala after a meal also boosts digestion and assimilation and helps the system flush out ama regularly.

2. Eat at around the same times each day
Like your sleep/wake cycle, your digestion will also benefit from a regular routine. Pre-program meal times into your day so that you have the time to take care of sustaining yoursef. Water and food are next only to air for survival. When sustenance is that vital for good health, why would you have mealtimes play second-fiddle to work or social engagements?

When your digestion is "trained" to kick in at those set times through regular practice, it functions efficiently to build more ojas from the foods you eat. Ojas is the most refined product of the digestive process the biochemical essence that sustains life and health. Nutrients from the foods you eat are absorbed and assimilated to the maximum extent by your body, and wastes are flushed out effectively, leaving little room for ama--digestive toxins to build up in the body and act as a breeding-ground for imbalances and disorders.

3. Avoid incompatible food combinations
Ayurvedic texts outline some food combinations that overtax the digestion and lead to increased ama build-up. Milk and cream, for example, should not be combined with salty or sour tastes. Melons should not be eaten with heavy foods like cheese, deep-fried foods or the heavier grains. Fruit, in general, should be eaten on its own because it is very quickly digested. Meat or fish should not be taken together with milk. Honey should never be heated or cooked.

In general, if you follow the meal guidelines and food suggestions given above, you will avoid most incompatible food combinations. One general rule to follow is to not eat foods with different digestion times at one sitting.

4. Prepare your meals with care and love
Everything is connected. For the food to eat to become ojas, you have to prepare it with attention, a positive attitude, caring and love. Many traditions hold the acts of cooking and eating sacred. In the Vedic tradition, the chef bathes and offers thanks to agni fire before beginning the task of preparing the first meal of the day for the family. Do not prepare meals (or eat) when you are upset or stressed, because your liver and digestion are adversely affected by negative emotions and will not digest that meal efficiently.

Eat in the area or room designated for eating in your home or place of work, not in front of the television or at your workstation. Diffuse a pleasant aroma blend in your dining area about an hour before you will begin eating lemon, coriander, sweet orange and mint are good choices to whet the appetite and get the digestive juices flowing. Dress up your dining table with fresh flowers or a pretty tablecloth. Make sure everything you need for your meal is at hand before you sit to eat so you do not have to get up or be distracted from your meal once you start eating.

5. Practice mindful eating
Ours is, sadly, an on-the-run, 24/7, get-everything-done-yesterday world. Extending multi-tasking to eating is one often-seen habit that probably causes many health problems that could be avoided if one only took the time to accord the meal the attention it deserves. The time that is perceived as "lost" by doing nothing but eating can more than likely be made up in increased energy and productivity the relished, well-digested meal returns to you. Eating in silence, with all your senses focused on the aromas, flavors, colors and textures on your plate is best, with muted, pleasantly relaxing conversation or soft music in the background a second-best option. Arguments,
highly stimulating discussions and disciplining children are activities not suited to mealtimes.

Other mindful eating habits to follow:

Do not work or speak on the telephone when you eat. Do not read or watch television.
Offer thanks or sit in silence a minute before you begin eating.
Do not gulp down your food; savor each mouthful and chew
well before you swallow. A few sips of warm water during the meal
will help digestion, but do not drink too much of any beverage.
At any meal, do not eat until you are very full. The ideal
ayurvedic portion is what you could hold in your two cupped hands
joined together. Leaving some room in the stomach when you are done
enhances digestion.
After you are done eating, sit quietly for a few minutes; do
not immediately rush off to do the next chore of the day.

Ayurveda attributes the gastric problems to the vitiation of Vata dosha. Due to the improperly digested food there is retention of wind or gas along with feces in the bowel. The trapped gas may cause unbearable pain in stomach. Due to the over eating of heavy food that the digestive system cannot handle, fece is retained and leads to formation of gas.

यूनानी मतानुसार शंखपुष्पी तर है तथा बल्य रसायन है । इसका प्रयोग स्मृतिवर्धन और मस्तिष्क तथा नाड़ियों को शक्ति देने के लिए किया जाता है । भ्रम, अनिद्रा, अपस्मार एवं उन्माद को दूर करने के लिए यूनानी वैद्य इसका प्रयोग करते हैं । रासायनिक संगठन- शंखपुष्पी से एक स्फटिकीय एल्केलाइड निकाला गया है, जिसे शंखपुष्पीन नाम दिया गया है । यही इसका सक्रिय संघटक है । इस औषधि में से एक 'इसेन्शियल ऑइल' भी निकाला गया है । पंचांग के किसी विशेष भाग में नहीं सारी औषधि में ही यह सक्रिय संघटक समान रूपसे वितरित पाया जाता है । इसी कारण शंखपुष्पी का पंचांग ही प्रयुक्त होता है । आधुनिक मत एवं वैज्ञानिक प्रयोग, निष्कर्ष- 'इण्डियन जनरल ऑफ मेडिकल रिसर्च' में डॉ. शर्मा ने शंखपुष्पी के मन से, मन के द��?वारा">मानसिक उत्तेजना शामक गुणों पर विस्तार से प्रकाश डाला है । इसके प्रयोग से प्रायोगिक जीवों में स्वतः होने वाली मांसपेशियों की हलचलें(स्पाण्टेनियम मोटर एक्टिविटी) घट गई । शंशपुष्पी के निष्कर्ष सेवन से चूहों में 'फिनोबार्ब' द्वारा उत्पन्न की गई निद्रा बढ़ गई । इनमें मार्फीन का दर्दनाशक प्रभाव भी बढ़ा । चूहों की लड़ने की प्रवृत्ति में कमी हुई तथा अंदर से आक्रामक प्रवृत्ति में शांति आयी । प्रायोगिक जीवों में विद्युत के झटकों द्वारा उत्पन्न आक्षेप (कन्वल्शन-मिर्गी जैसे झटके) तथा कंपन इस औषधि के प्रयोग के बाद शांत हो गए । थायराइड ग्रंथि के अतिस्राव से उत्पन्न घबराहट, अनिद्रा एवं कंपन जैसी उत्तेजनापूर्ण स्थिति में शंखपुष्पी अत्यधिक सफल पायी गई है । यह रोग अधिसंख्य जनता को अपने राष्ट्र में प्रभावित करता है । इसमें हृदय व मस्तिष्क समान रूपसे प्रभावित होते हैं । स्राव संतुलन बनाए रखना इस औषधि का प्रमुख कार्य है । बी.एच.यू. के डॉ. गुप्ता, प्रसाद व उडुप्पा के अनुसार शंखपुष्पी थायरोटॉ-क्सिकोसिस के नवीन रोगियों में आधुनिक औषधियों से अधिक लाभकारी सिद्ध हुई है । यदि किसी रोगी ने पूर्व में एलोपैथिक एण्टाथायराइड औषधि ली थी तो उस कारण उत्पन्न दुष्प्रभावों से भी शंखपुष्पी के कारण मुक्ति मिल गई । इन दोहरे लाभों को देखते हुए अब इस औषधि पर विस्तृत जाँच पड़ताल आरंभ कर दी गई है । सेण्ट्रल ड्रग रिसर्च इण्स्टीट्रयूट के वैज्ञानिकों ने पाया है कि यह औषधि सीधे थायराइड की कोशिकाओं पर प्रभाव डालकर स्राव व नियमन करती हैं । इसके प्रयोग से मस्तिष्क एसिटाइल कोलीन नामक महत्त्वपूर्ण न्यूरोकेमीकल की मात्रा बढ़ गई । इसका बढ़ना इस तथ्य का द्योतक है कि उत्तेजना के लिए उत्तरदायी केन्द्र शांत हो रहे है । मस्तिष्क रक्त अवरोधी झिल्ली (ब्लड-ब्रेनवैरियर) से शंखपुष्पी एसिटाइलकोलीन का मस्तिष्क से निकल कर रक्त में जाना रोकती है । यह उत्तेजना शामक प्रभाव रक्त चाप पर भी अनुकूल प्रभाव डालती है । प्रयोगों से पाया गया है कि भावनात्मक संक्षोभों, तनाव जन्य उच्च रक्त चाप जैसी परिस्थिति में शंखपुष्पी बड़ी लाभकारी सिद्ध होती है । आदत डालने वाले टैरक्विलाइजर्स की तुलना में यह अधिक उत्तम है, क्योंकि यह तनाव का शमन कर दुष्प्रभाव रहित निद्रा लाती है तथा हृदय परभी अवसादक प्रभाव डालती है । ग्राह्य अंग- पंचांग-समग्र क्षुप का चूर्ण या कल्क ताजी अवस्था में स्वरस कल्क प्रयुक्त होता है । मात्रा- कल्क- 10 से 20 ग्राम प्रतिदिन । चूर्ण- 3 से 6 ग्राम प्रतिदिन । स्वरस- 2 से 4 तोला प्रतिदिन । इस औषधि को सुबह या शाम को दो बार अथवा रोगावस्थानुसार रात्रि को ही प्रयुक्त किया जा सकता है । निर्धारणानुसार प्रयोग- स्मरण शक्ति बढ़ाने के लिए 6 माशा शंखपुष्पी चूर्ण मिश्री की चाशनी या दूध के साथ प्रतिदिन प्रातः लेने का शास्रोक्त विधान बताया गया है । पंचांग को दूध के साथ घोंट कर भी देते हैं । ज्वर प्रलाप में होश खो बैठने तथा प्रलाप करने पर (डेलीरियम) मस्तिष्क को शक्ति देने तथा नींद लाने के लिए शंखपुष्पी फाण्ट रूप में या चूर्ण को मिश्री के साथ देते हैं । इसकी ठण्डाई भी प्रयुक्त की जा सकती है । उन्माद व अपस्मार में इसका स्वरस 20 ग्राम के लगभग मधु के साथ दिन में दो बार दिया जाता है । शय्या मूत्र का रोग जो अक्सर बच्चों को बढ़ती उम्र तक बना रहता है, (नॉक्चरनल एन्यूरेसिस) में रात्रि के समय शंखपुष्पी चूर्ण (3 ग्राम) दूध के साथ देने पर लाभ पहुँचाता है । मनोविकारों में भी इसका महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान है । जितने भी उत्तेजना कारक मनोविकार हैं, उन्हें प्रारंभिक स्थिति में ही शंखपुष्पी के द्वारा नियंत्रित किया जा सकता है । उच्च रक्तचाप व अन्य उत्तेजना जन्य स्थितियाँ जो उसे जन्म देती हैं, में रोकथाम के लिए एवं उपचार के लिए भी शंखपुष्पी का धात��?

Ayurvedic and Dietary Treatments for High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure or hypertension is the condition when the blood flow in the arteries and veins is forced under a higher pressure than normal. This can happen due to the weakness of the heart or due to the buildup of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, which can reduce their lumen. Today, most people in the world are suffering from hypertension, though it is not always fatal. Proper medication and a positive lifestyle can make people with higher blood pressures lead a long and happy life. However, neglect can cause severe fatal problems like myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).

High blood pressure is known as Rakta Gata vata in Ayurveda. It can be caused due to vitiation of any of the three doshas, though the contribution of the vata dosha may be more, as it is responsible for the circulation of blood. The following are the main precipitating factors for people with different doshas:-

1. Vata type of Hypertension - This is caused by extreme emotions such as worry, anxiety and stress.

2. Pitta type of Hypertension - This is caused by negative emotions such as hatred, jealousy and feeling for revenge.

3. Kapha type of Hypertension - This is caused by problems with the digestive system.

(1) Useful Herbs in the Treatment of High Blood Pressure

1. Alfalfa (Medicago satina)

Alfalfa contains several elements which are needed in the softening of the hard arteries. This reduces the tension in the arteries and hence helps to treat hypertension.

2. Bloodwort (Achillea millefolium)

Bloodwort is a sweat-inducing herb. It makes the blood flow towards the skin for expelling the sweat. Due to this free movement of the blood, the high blood pressure is reduced. Bloodword contains an alkaloid which is effective in reducing high blood pressure.

3. Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic is an antispasmodic agent. Hence it reduces the pressure in the arteries caused due to the pumping action of the heart during blood circulation. Garlic creates a rhythm in the pumping of the heart, which eases the pulse. Other high blood pressure problems such as dizziness, shortness of breath and indigestion are also taken care of by garlic. Garlic is widely considered to be the best remedy for high blood pressure.

4. Jaundice Berry (Berberis vulgaris)

Jaundice berry is another very effective remedy in the treatment of high blood pressure. It eases the tension in the arteries by making them dilate. Thus the blood flow in them is facilitated.

5. Parsley (Petroselinum crispum)

Parsley is like a monitor of the blood vessels. It regulates the flow of blood in them and maintains easy circulation. It looks after the entire arterial system. Hence it is a very beneficial herb for people with high blood pressure.

6. Rauwolfia (Rauwolfia serpentina)

The effects of rauwolfia on the arteries and veins of the human system have been investigated in detail, and immensely positive results have been obtained. Rauwolfia has a treasure-trove of alkaloids for easing the arteries, synchronizing the blood flow in them, reducing palpitation and even removing the cholesterol buildup in the arteries. Hence, practitioners of all forms of medicine acknowledge the effects of rauwolfia. In Ayurveda especially, the root of the rauwolfia is prescribed for hypertension patients. The Ayurvedic name for rauwolfia is sarpagandha.

(2) Dietary Treatments for High Blood Pressure

A strict dietary regimen is important to seek early treatment from high blood pressure. The following points must be obeyed:-

1. Salt should be reduced or totally eliminated from the diet. Hot and spicy foods should also be avoided.

2. Instead of hydrogenated fats, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats must be used. These include oils of sesame, olive, flaxseed, mustard and groundnut. Ghee and butter made from cow's milk are beneficial. Buffalo milk should be avoided.

3. Indigestion should be taken care of by consuming a good amount of leafy vegetables containing fiber.

4. Bitter gourd and drumsticks are advantageous vegetables for people suffering from high blood pressure. Colocasia must be avoided, but yellow pumpkin helps in reducing blood pressure.

5. Among fruits, bananas, oranges, guavas and apples are good. All kinds of dry fruits and nuts are good.

6. Sweets and chocolates must be avoided.

7. Red meats must be avoided. But white meats, especially fish are beneficial in lowering blood pressure.

(3) Ayurvedic Concepts for High Blood Pressure

Sarpagandha is the drug of choice in high blood pressure. Not only is this drug used in Ayurvedic medicine, but it is also used in allopathic medicine in the treatment of high blood pressure. In addition, the following herbal preparations are prescribed depending on the doshic cause of high blood pressure:-

a. For Vataja High Blood Pressure, jatamansi and brahmi are prescribed.

b. For Pittaja High Blood Pressure, sarsarapilla and sandalwood are prescribed.

c. For Kaphaja High Blood Pressure, calamus, arjuna, shilajit, guggulu and berberis are prescribed.

(4) Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure

a. Have a spoonful of lemon juice mixed with honey every morning.
