Even though this traditional system of medicine has its roots embedded in India, Ayurvedic practices have been widely adopted by different cultures all over the world. It is believed that Ayurveda’s global demand will observe a meteoric rise in the upcoming years. An article published by Maximize Market Research Pvt Ltd1, an Indian consultancy firm located in Pune, Maharashtra, providing insights into market research and analysis, has predicted that the value of the global Ayurveda market will propel to $US 14.9 billion by 2026 from $ US 4.5 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 16.14%.

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.

Get Rid of Obesity with Ayurveda

Leave a comment

Obesity

Obesity is a problem that has engulfed our society in the recent years. According to recent reports published by WHO1, 2016 witnessed an upsurge in the number of overweight people. It stated that more than 1.9 billion people were overweight and out of these, 650 million were obese. People are putting in consistent efforts to resolve this issue and have turned to Ayurveda for respite. Ayurveda and its principles give an impetus to the body to stay toned and certain ayurvedic herbs are fruitful in getting rid of the body fat as well, thus mitigating the risk of excess weight gain or acute obesity.

What is Body Fat and How it Causes Weight Gain or Acute Obesity?

Triglycerides, cholesterol and fatty acids are collectively known as body fat. Body fat is stored in a loose connective tissue that is composed of adipocytes. Another name for these tissues is the Adipose tissue. These tissues store energy in the form of fat deposits. These are specially layered under the skin or coating the internal organs of the body. Adipose tissue has two constituent tissues, the white adipose tissue, and the brown adipose tissue. White adipose functions as a reservoir of energy, producing various hormones and cytokines that monitor the metabolic activities of the body whereas the brown adipose tissue converts food into heat energy. The equilibrium between these two tissues determines the amount of fat in the body. However, an extreme imbalance between these two tissues or between the consumption of food and the outgoing of energy can further give birth to health issues such as obesity.

There are specific Ayurvedic elements that have the ability to get rid of body fat. Triphala, Pipul, and Honey cut down on fat deposits and are a genuine help to obese people. Triphala encourages the secretion of cholecystokinin in the body which relays messages to the brain signaling that the stomach is full. This automatically diminishes the food intake resulting in weight loss. Pippali, on the other hand, burns the fatty acids accumulating in the body, thus inhibiting weight gain.

Ayurveda’s best-fit resources to restrain such detestable body fat

The unrivaled remedies of Ayurveda provide the most appropriate solutions to slim down cumbersome body flabs. A few of the Ayurvedic constituents which have multipurpose utilities, one of them being decreasing fat accumulation in the body, are mentioned below

Triphala

The concordant mixture of Amlaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki aids weight loss. Triphala is endowed with anti-inflammatory properties along with vitamin C, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids and saponins, augmented with essential plant compounds. These compounds act as valuable constraints of body weight.

Triphala is present in Livonia along with Kalmegh, one of the products of Branolia Chemical Works aimed at restoring healthy liver metabolism.

Pipul

Pipul along with sunth ( dried ginger) and maricha ( pepper) restrains the excess deposition of fat. It ignites the “digestive fire “ in the gastrointestinal tract which will escalate the process of digestion, leaving no scope for fat to get deposited.

The richness of Pipul and Sunth is preserved in Bitocough and Branolia’s Honeyguard. Pipul, along with Vasak, Tulsi and Jashtimadhu are present in Bitocough which is an expectorant to combat cough and cold whereas Branolia’s HoneyGuard involves Honey, Tulsi, Jashtimadhu, Aswagandha along with Sunth to give an extra boost to our immunity.

Honey

This sweet viscous liquid, when taken before going to bed is exemplary for burning body fat. Honey contains vital hormones that curtail the appetite. This, in turn, enables weight loss as the rate of food consumption deters because of a bad appetite.

Honey is one of the ingredients amalgamated with Tulsi, Sunth, Jashtimadhu, and Ashwagandha in Branolia’s HoneyGuard which cures bronchial disorders.Thus, Branolia Chemical Works uplifts the ideals and principles of Ayurveda and makes our bond with Ayurveda even more concrete.

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.

Combating Mouth Odour with Ayurveda

Leave a comment

Clean bowels assure fresh breath. It is a cyclical process that starts with the intake of nutritious food which enables the stomach to function properly and perform proper digestion. This, in turn, ensures a smooth bowel movement, which in turn induces fresh breath. The digestion of food occurs in three stages; namely, the ingestion of food, assimilation of food and elimination of food. Ingestion involves the disintegration of food into its respective chemical components, whereas assimilation involves the absorption of essential minerals into the body. The elimination of indigestible food, in the form of faeces, is the final stage in this three-tiered process. The hindered movement of faeces is a precursor of constipation. Constipation or unclean bowels are the potential reasons for developing a stench in the mouth. In today’s world, an imbalance in the diet, the increased consumption of fast foods and aerated drinks, are the pivotal causes for the malfunctioning of the digestive system. The constant intake of gluten and greasy food hampers the digestion process. This, in turn, leads to the hindered passage of faeces, and the faecal remnants in the intestine induce foul smell in the mouth, making it unpleasant.

Since time immemorial, Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medication has been offering holistic solutions to problems experienced by the human body which encompasses effective remedies for combating a foul breath as well. Even though these problems do have alternative anti-biotic cures, people still invest their trust in Ayurvedic medicinal cures as they are free of side-effects. Ayurveda, through its herbal extracts and concoctions, caters to many of the oral problems, one of them being bad breath.

Some of the herbal ingredients in Ayurveda, effectively combat mouth odour. They are

  • Amla, which has an extensive application in Ayurveda, is used in the form of extracts, for rinsing the mouth. Amla, coupled with Haritaki and Bibhitaki, forms the Triphala, which is used in essential Ayurvedic compositions and acts as a rinsing agent to get rid of mouth odour.
  • Triphala, also identified as an effective remedy in Ayurvedic combats constipation as well, as it is a laxative. It facilitates smooth bowel movement which will result in fresh breath.

Ayurveda also suggests the use of rinsing agents like sesame oil and fermented rice water to do away with mouth odour.

Two of Branolia Chemical’s products, Bellytone and Livonia extend a helping hand to a person who suffers from digestive problems and, indirectly solves the problem of mouth odour. Bellytone, which is one of Branolia Chemical’s products, assists in abdominal metabolism. It relieves constipation and reduces flatulence, which is again a result of gastrointestinal problems or improper bowel movement. The prime ingredients in Bellytone are Sonapata, Haritaki, Teori & Ajwon and each of the ingredients acts as a laxative to combat constipation or curb flatulence. They enable the smooth functioning of the bowel.

Livonia is another product of Branolia Chemicals which assists in the healthy functioning of the liver. The liver, being a vital organ, is responsible for the disintegration of fats from food. Malfunctioning of the liver disturbs the digestion. Both these products aim at the proper functioning of the digestive system, enabling smooth bowel movement and hence, clean bowels will automatically eliminate mouth odour.

Over the years, the numerous products of Branolia Chemicals Pvt Ltd, have proved to be beneficial for the common man. Branolia, Branolia’s Kulerron, Branolia’s Honey Guard, Bitocough, Bellytone, and Livonia have testified their relevance in people’s lives through their commendable medicinal properties. The products of Branolia Chemicals have exerted immense influence on the lives of individuals.
