The Ayurvedic Medicine for Digestion Problem

Leave a comment

 

ayurvedic medicine for digestion problem

Digestion is indeed one of the most essential processes of our body. Beginning from the intake of food to the excretion of waste materials, all of these mechanisms together as a whole is defined as digestion. The malfunctioning of the digestive system gives rise to disorders like acidity and constipation. This is when Ayurveda sheds light on the reasons behind digestive problems and the concepts of AGNI (the digestive fire) and  AMA (toxins) take their shape. Dr. Vasant Lad, a veteran Ayurvedic expert based in Albuquerque, New Mexico stated his opinion about the importance of digestion in Ayurveda in an interview with the lifestyle media brand MindBodyGreen1.

In his interview, he stated how Ayurveda pinpoints the connection between digestion and AGNI.  He said that gastric fire, metabolism, and enzymes are together known as AGNI. If AGNI weakens, food would not be digested properly and undigested food would accumulate as AMA, which in other words means toxins. Ayurveda emphasizes that AMA is the underlying cause of all diseases. AMA is sticky by nature and it blocks the inner channels of the body. The accumulation of toxins in the body is responsible for weakening the immune system and that exposes people to other infections. He also mentioned how Ayurveda specifies that a mild digestive fire and profuse toxic production are the main reasons working behind frequent illnesses and that Ayurveda stresses on maintaining efficient digestion and elimination of waste materials.

Therefore, Dr. Vasant Lad’s interview magnifies our outlook on how Ayurveda perceives a healthy digestive system that ensures a healthy body.

Ayurveda aims at restoring the nourishment and well-being of the body. Bellytone and Livonia, manufactured by Branolia Chemical Works, balance the Agni- Ama equation to foster a healthy metabolism within the body.
Bellytone and Livonia contain the precise herbal extracts that address digestive disorders which are frequently exhibited by the body. Bellytone contains Sonapata, Haritaki, Ajowan, and Teori which foster digestion. Livonia consists of Triphala and Kalmegh which helps in restoring the functional efficiency of the liver.

Two of the Digestive Disorders that are Consequences of a Feeble Digestive Fire are :

Constipation

Constipation is either hereditary or is caused due to a distorted food regimen. Haritaki, an Ayurvedic herb, is indeed a boon for people who have been victims of constipation. It is rich in Vitamin C and is endowed with substances that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Bellytone, one of the finest products of Branolia Chemical Works which is an Ayurvedic medicine for digestion, becomes an indispensable choice for us, to do away with constipation as Bellytone contains the goodness of Haritaki in it along with Sonapata, Teori, and Ajowan.

Acidity

Acidity is the burning sensation or pain experienced in the chest which generally occurs after a heavy meal.
Amla is an effective agent that subsides acidity. Amla, the Indian gooseberry is present along with Haritaki and Bibhitaki in Livonia, a liver purifying tonic manufactured by Branolia Chemical Works aimed at fostering proper liver functioning.

Thus, Branolia Chemical Works has always put its best foot forward in providing relief to the people suffering from digestive disorders with some of its promising products like Livonia and Bellytone.

NATIONAL AYURVEDA DAY

Leave a comment

It becomes a norm for every quintessential Indian to get tied to the phenomenal festivities offered by our culture, be it a small scale celebration or a festival celebrated with majesty. The dedication to participate in many festivities thrives on the heart of every Indian. The receding celebrations of Navratri, make way for the modest advances of the next session of festivities in a row, Dhanteras, Diwali and Bhai Dooj. Dhanteras assumed to be “the day of wealth” to be concise in one word, symbolizes abundance and replenishment of wealth in everyone’s lives. Another myth supporting the origin of this day is that as told in the Puranas ,Lord Dhanvantari, the God Of Ayurveda, had emerged from a Samudra Manthan and he held a Kalash of Amrit in one hand and the sacred text of Ayurveda in the other. This year( 2019) Dhanteras was held on the 25th of October. However, this calendar date also strikes a chord with us reminding that the Ministry of AYUSH, was commenced on the 9th of November, 2014. This Ministry was known as the Department of Indian System of Medicine and Homeopathy(ISM&H) and it had been formed in March 1995. Years later, it was renamed as AYUSH, the abbreviation for Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy, in November 2003. It specifically focused on broadening the scope of education and research in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturotherapy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. Over the years, the Ministry has encouraged the favourable development and propagation of the AYUSH techniques in the current health care systems.

The Ministry of AYUSH had come forward with the decision on celebrating the National Ayurveda Day every year,on the same day which is observed as Dhanteras. This year the Ministry of AYUSH conducted the Fourth Ayurveda Day at Jaipur while the National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) were the ones who hosted the event. The NIA held both the Dhanvantari Pujan and National Dhanwantari Ayurveda Awards-2019 which were two events on the National Ayurveda Day. Shri Om Birla, Speaker in the Lok Sabha graced the event as the Chief Guest while Shri Shiprad Yesson Naik, the Union Minister of AYUSH participated in the event. The event also observed 25 delegates of Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) who were active participants of the subsequent events on the 4th Ayurveda Day. Ayurveda, the ancient healing system which dates back to thousand years, originated in India. It has been rendered as one of the most meticulous and well-documented systems of medicines. Modern India inculcates the Ayurvedic way of living even to this day. Ayurveda aims at preventing diseases and promote a healthy state of living. The primary objectives of National Ayurveda Day are:

  1. Endeavouring to propagate Ayurveda into the mainstream
  2. To concentrate on the strengths and unique principles offered by Ayurveda
  3. Utilizing Ayurveda’s potentials as a cornerstone of reducing diseases and related morbidity and mortality.
  4. Exploration of Ayurveda’s potential, which plays an instrumental role in shaping national health policy and National Health programs.
  5. To create awareness amongst the young generation and to propagate Ayurvedic principles of healing within the society, in modern India.

The well-reputed Branolia Chemical Works has always upheld the principles of Ayurveda, over such a vast expanse of time and it still continues to do so. Ayurveda can always be addressed as a medical benefactor who has dissipated the arduous health miseries from the lives of people. Branolia Chemical Works has embraced the authenticities of Ayurveda through its products. Each of the products of Branolia Chemical Works, namely, Branolia, Branolia’s Kulerron, Branolia’s Honey Guard, Bitocough, Bellytone, and Livonia have alleviated people from their adverse health conditions and will continue to do so many more years down the line.

Ayurveda for a Healthy Navratri

The month of October ushers with it, the splendour and grandeur of seasonal festivals. In this month, people get carried away with the frenzy and frolic surrounding them, enjoying the company of their relatives and peers. One such festival, known for its exuberant ambience is Navratri. Navratri is an auspicious occasion, celebrated over a length of nine days, aimed at invoking the spirit of the deity, Goddess Durga, accompanied with the festive mood and savoring of aromatic delicacies. This auspicious occasion is celebrated during autumn, and it marks the beginning of the season change, the transition period between summer and winter. Amidst all the fun and frolic and open-air programmes, people do not pay much heed to the chilled nip in the air during this time of the month, which becomes their prime reason for falling prey to viral infections and cold flu. Not only that, but the guilty pleasures of gorging on an array of delicacies served during such occasions, after a full day’s fast, make people victims of indigestion and gastric problems. This is where

Ayurveda provides the best solutions for people to cure themselves of the illness and jive their way through the festive season and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Ayurvedic extracts and concoctions prove to be the simplest and indispensable solutions to viral infections and gut centric problems. Most people, due to their careless attitude, do not take precautionary measures to shield themselves from the sudden Celsius dips, resulting in viral fevers and sore throat. Even allergies are predominant among people during this time.

These ingredients infused in Bitocough and Branolia’s Honeyguard assist in getting rid of all sorts of viral and bronchial infections.

On the other hand, Bellytone and Livonia, the two well-known products of Branolia Chemicals, resolve the issues related to the stomach, which occur due to indulgence in gluten-based foods, rich and spicy platters and in disciplined dietary habits, during festive seasons. Bellytone, having Sonapata, Haritaki, Ajowan & Teori as its primary constituents, assist in the smooth functioning of the bowels, relieving constipation. Livonia, on the other hand, is another product of Branolia Chemicals that regulates digestion and specifically, monitors the functioning of the liver. It is an amalgamation of Kalmegh and Triphala.

  • Sonapata: It is identified as a purgative.
  • Ajowan: It catalyzes the digestion.
  • Teori: It expels gas from the gastrointestinal tract, thereby, controlling flatulence.
  • Kalmegh: It is an effective balancing agent and monitors the proper functioning of the liver.
