Vasant rutu – Season of Detox and self-care

Nature is blessed with blooming of flowers, cold breeze in the nighttime and colorful trees around is the perfect picture of Vasant rutu or spring.
Sunny hot days and colder nights create fluctuations in the inner health causing health issues. It also brings many festivals and events in their months of Chaitra and Vaishakh.
Nature is the best healer and destructor too. On the same principle Ayurveda has described the food, exercise and sleep pattern which is called Rutucharya.
It emphasizes the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and a connection with nature. By following the Vasant Ritucharya, one can promote physical, mental, and emotional health, and also can prevent diseases. In the Vasant rutu, sweetness, Unctuousness in the body provokes which was accumulated in the previous rutu of Shishir. These are the properties of kapha dosha or water element. It shows heaviness, sluggishness and excess mucus secretions in the body.

As blooming of flowers is going on it causes allergies showing cold, cough, running nose or skin issues.
Everyone should follow a regime to detox and balance this kapha. This is the best time of the year to detox, rejuvenate and gain health.
Vamana is the detox process that comes under Panchakarma therapies and is the most suggested treatment in Vasant. Also, Nasya, karnapurana therapies help to detox the body.

Avoid afternoon sleep in Vasant as it provokes kapha but proper rest and nighttime sleep is needed to gain strength and vitality.
Digestive fire becomes weak and so food should be warm, easy to digest and with spices. Soups, green gram recipes, rice flour, cooked or tossed salads, leafy, fruit vegetables and rice recipes are recommended.
Strength of a person is fair in Vasant which suggests doing Yoga and exercises in the morning time.

In conclusion, Vasant Rutucharya offers a holistic approach staying healthy. By incorporating diet, exercise, rest, self-care practices and herbal therapies, one can detoxify, maintain balance and improve vitality during this time of rejuvenation. All should maintain balance and harmony in both the mind and body and promote overall health and well-being.

Digital Nadi-Pariksha and its Tracking

Science of Nadi Pariksha

The Nadi, an index of heart rate and mirror of our Mind & Body, is of great importance. According to ancient Ayurveda science, various Nadi patterns are indicators of the mind and body and their internal health components.
Nadi Pariksha i.e. pulse examination comes under 8-fold assessment tools described by Ayurveda.

Perception of Nadi and health diagnosis:
According to Ayurveda, Nadi Pariksha is key for assessment of many health parameters and Perception of Nadi and health diagnosis:
According to Ayurveda, Nadi Pariksha is essential for the assessment of many health parameters and underlying pathophysiology parameters.

  1. Nadi Gati (Manda, Vegavati)
  2. Nadi Guna
  3. Dosha avastha (predominant dosha)
  4. Updosha avastha (Sub-Dosha vitiation)
  5. Prakruti (Vikruti assessment)
  6. Agni (metabolic health-related complaints associated with a dominant Dosha)
  7. Bala (immunity/strength of person)
  8. Dhatu-Gata avastha (underlying Doshik predominance and its effects on various systems or probable pathophysiology)
  9. Hetu dyana (predictive causative factors, very similar in properties with prominent Guna and Dosha reflected by Nadi)
  10. Manas Bhav- Bhay, Chinta, Kaam, Krodh, and so on.

Nadi Pariksha is one of the traditional methods of performing health assessment in a non-invasive way. It is an extraordinary assessment tool and a boon in the field of the healthcare sector.
Sharangdhar Samhita, Bhavprakash, Yog Ratnakar, Ravan-Krut Nadi, and Nadi Tarangini are some old textbooks of Ayurveda that describe every single aspect of Nadi Pariksha. This assessment system is key for understanding Doshik imbalances, underlying pathophysiology, and even causative factors.

Based on Nadi analysis, Vaidya/ Ayurveda Physician emphasizes lifestyle modifications in terms of diet, water intake, exercise, and yoga in view of Prakruti, Vikruti, Ayurveda Aahar shastra, Aahar vidhi vishesh aayatane, Aahar nirman vidhi, Anna sanskar and Modern Science of Nutrition as Ayurveda states that every individual is different by their Prakruti, hence the Doshik configurations are also different inside their body.

An evidence-based Tech-Digital Nadi Pariksha

Evidence-based practice is the need of time for the Ayurveda and wellness sector as digital Nadi Pariksha can focus on personalized lifestyle corrections. Nadi Pariksha graphs and their analysis in the terminology of Ayurveda are now possible with the help of Nadi Tarangini.

Nadi graphs calculated in the form of energy, volume, speed, rhythm, and stiffness are translated into Ayurveda parameters with the expert’s advice and study. It is useful for Ayurveda practitioners to diagnose and analyze the Nadi patterns of the patients to understand their inner health.
In this fast-paced world where everything has to be ultra-efficient, Nadi Tarangini is an unparalleled technological advancement, providing systematic healthcare management. Nadi Tarangini auscultates subtle changes in overall health parameters based on Vata, Pitta and Kapha (Tridosha) by analyzing Nadi.

The analysis using Nadi-Tarangini Tech

As per classical texts, qualities or properties of Nadi / pulse such as pulse movement (Gati), speed of the pulse (Vega), stability of the pulse (Sthiratva), and hardness of the artery (Kathinya) play a major role in Nadi Pariksha. The classical texts emphasize the significance of Gati, a unique quality of the Nadi as part of Nadi Pariksha. As per texts, Gati plays an essential role in disease diagnosis. Sarpa, Manduk, and Hansagati for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha respectively are assessed through digital Nadi Pariksha too.

Monitoring and Tracking of Nadi graphs and its properties:

All these aspects of Nadi Pariksha are being considered, monitored and analyzed digitally using Sensor-based technology by Atreya Innovations. A report mentioning all minute parameters is generated that is a unique individual-specific health assessment card. The report can be assessed and co-related with associated complaints and it could be used for follow-up too. It is a simple, non-invasive technology that enables us to reach the root cause of health issues in a personalized manner and not just address the symptoms.
This is a perfect blend of ancient Ayurveda wisdom and technology that focuses on good QoL- Quality of life for everyone’s well-being.

Your soulmate Your Real valentine

Lets see your Love, relationship with a new perspective. Ayurveda explained different personalities and Prakruti. The three energies play a romantic role in our life too.

The bond of love and affection starts when someone likes another’s nature, his or her company and feeling of support and comfort.
Opposite poles attract each other. And this is very true if we consider our emotional and psychological traits.

In Ayurveda body constitution or body type or Prakruti is defined as Manas that is emotional and psychological and sharir i.e. physical and physiological. If you know the body type of your partner you can easily accept or change yourself for a better life.

Body type not only covers the mind state but also their physical appearance, strength, stamina and digestion, metabolism which leads to final immunity.

If you could find out whether this is a normal or balanced state of your partner then you can easily accept their habits, nature and food preferences. As A Result, no one will blame others by their nature or hobbies or food habits.

Kapha

A Kapha person is very calm, steady and loves arts. To balance kapha needs the opposite pitta. Pitta is very courageous, dynamic and supports the kapha mind. Also, Vata is very creative and charming which enhances kapha artistic mind. Plan for a romantic candle light dinner or musical mehfil.

Kapha has slow digestion and slow metabolism. Select light and low calorie diets. Take care of meals with a frequency of 2 or 3 times a day.So if your partner cooks or orders food of your preference then that is most healthy. Order healthy soups like veg clear or lemon coriander soup with rice recipes like biryani or Mexican sizzlers for your valentine.

Kapha can work out heavily and steadily but for less duration has poor stamina. Kapha people have more inclination towards laziness, sluggishness. So, making him or her active, motivate for physical exercise is the real partner.

Pitta

Pitta is very dynamic, aggressive and with quick anger. To cool down this, kapha helps with its calm and loving nature. Kapha is more loving and compassionate to Pitta. Pitta are very romantic and express their feelings gently. Pitta partner should or can surprise him or her with romantic, soothing, candle Riverside light dinner and calming music.

Pitta has a strong appetite and digestion. Pitta loves sweet, bitter, and astringent. Pitta people can consume heavy and high calories diets. Prepare 3 to 4 heavy meals for pitta partners. Italian, Mexican, Punjabi  food is the correct menu for this valentine.

Pitta has moderate stamina so go for a mild gym workout, swimming and fresh air exercises more.

Vata

Vata’s personality is very much creative, cherishing and full of energy and enthusiasm. And so to control it needs the steadiness of kapha and to flow this energy in the correct and positive way needs pitta support. Throwing a dance party with many friends will be a big surprise and appreciable to Vata.

Vata has irregular hunger and unstable digestion with fair strength and good stamina. Vata likes sweet, sour and salty food. Go for chole bhature, pasta, sizzlers, milk shakes or chat and street food menus.

Go for good workouts together with more mountaineering, running and biking.
Now try to find out your partner’s body type and accept their habits and routines and try to mold yourself for the best relationship with your soulmate. This is the best way to balance each other’s positive side for your life partner’s healthy and peaceful life.

If you accept each other with his or her good and bad. Actually those bad are by your thoughts but they are good for their Prakruti.

Life will be more beautiful and loving when you understand each other in this scientific way too. And this is not limited only for Valentine’s day but for the whole life.

We are the facilitators of our own Evolution: Vaidya Tejaswini Bhale

Each journey has a starting point and its different milestones with fascinating stories. Today when I look back, my whole professional life is in front of my eyes.

My Ayurveda Graduation times WISH:

During the graduation period at Tilak Ayurveda College, I was very much impressed with the patient examination methods. But also was very much worried, about how to recite Sanskrit shloka of each and every disease, its diagnosis and treatments. Also, to memorize names of medicines and their compositions with minute proportions was a big challenge. But I was so blessed that I could learn Ayurveda under Guru Shishya parampara and gain in depth knowledge and its clinical practice training.

As a student of science, using computers at home but the study was about ancient science always made me think, how modern time computers can be used in Ayurveda?

Modern diagnostics methods have many electronic machines like X ray, ECG, CT scan, USG but Ayurveda has nothing. But on the other side I must say, Ayurveda physicians have great knowledge of perception of inner health dosha imbalances and Ashtavidha examination methods. Without any help of electronic machines Vaidya can visualize pathogenesis happening inside the body organs. Anatomy of each and every artery, vein, muscles, bones, organs is well described in Ayurveda, that means Ayurvedacharya had super vision and practices to observe, learn and compile it. Those were the great scientists.

In my second year of BAMS, I was very much inclined towards learning Nadi Pariksha, with Gurus’ guidance, I started knowing its feel, perception, rhythm, movements, energy and strength and gunas. That time I always had a wish, was it possible for me to create a machine which could show Nadi graphs like ECG, and its observations should come in computerized language which are easy to understand, learn and to teach.

My wish came into Reality:

After 15 years, this wish was fulfilled when my mentor Dr Atul Kapdi sir, asked Dr Aniruddha Joshi to meet me.

I was astonished to see his work, his dedication. He worked for 13 years to collect Nadi data and get inputs about Nadi parameters from expert Vaidyas. He showed me the graphs of Nadi on the computer screen. Nadi was there like ECG, and that was the EUREKA moment for me too. 

Me as Nadi Pariksha Domain Expertise

From August 2017 my Journey was started with Atreya Innovations as a Nadi Pariksha Domain expertise. Now there’s a strong bond between Me and Nadi Tarangini.
Before that I am having one more story with Atreya, that is related to my Masters degree, which I will discuss later.

With my clinical knowledge, 15 years of daily Nadi Pariksha practices, I started correlating those graphs with dosha gati, guna, and disease patterns. Data was there, inputs were there but to connect, correlate and bridge them, put them into Ayurveda terminology, and create its report card that opportunity and work was done by me. Now the graphs and values started talking with Vaidyas.

We launched Nadi Tarangini in the year 2018 and were well welcomed by Ayurveda practitioners.

Interaction with Artificial intelligence:

Today’s world is of AI and ML. Technology completely captured our lives. But for that system the intelligence is given by the man only. The strength of doing many calculations at a time and selecting the correct answer which our brain also does but this has limitations . This problem is solved by AI. For creating Nadi Tarangini’s report card I got to know about this backend work and did this intensively.

Explaining, compiling and making a data analysis bank of each and every parameter of Nadi graphs and waves which turned out as an extensive Nadi analysis report card which is the first ever done in the field of Ayurveda. This is the great source of evidence based practice. Nadi which I experienced from my clinical practice and of course the same is explained in ancient texts is the data source for me to do this work. I must say ancient texts are the perfect source of data mining and I converted that into today’s language through my perception of manual Nadi analysis and NT graphs and values. Analyzing Nadi graphs through its waveforms is my favorite work.

Me as a Researcher:

With huge data of Nadi from a cloud server, me and Aniruddha plotted different graphs with respect to Ayurveda parameters of Prakruti, Vikruti, Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Agni, bala and Manas Bhav. We had best results from them which satisfies and matches with the descriptions written in ancient text Sharangdhar, Ravan krut Nadi, Yog Ratnakar. Clinical text of Charak samhita, Sushruta samhita, Astang Hrudaya, etc. matches with Nadi parameters.

Our research papers were selected and published in national and international level journals and conferences.
When we received keen attention from Hon Prime Minister Modiji was given a lifetime achievement award. Also, the Ministry of Ayush awarded Atreya with an excellence award which added a feather in our success stories.

Marketing Strategy building of Nadi Tarangini-

Before launching any product in the market, the company follows market research and feedback from customers. Here, came my role as an MBA Marketing student.
As I mentioned earlier, my mentor Dr Atul Kapdi suggested my name to Aniruddha Joshi. During my MBA studies in 2015, marketing internship, and Ayurveda-Nadi Pariksha expertise clubbed together opened the Gate ways of this world of Information Technology in healthcare system and AI for me.

For my master’s degree in marketing, my thesis was Developing Marketing Mix and Prototype testing for Nadi Tarangini. The dissertation was to study Promotional Strategy for Nadi Tarangini. Mrs. Aparna Ramachandran was Head of Marketing for Atreya. She guided me well and I was privileged to work with her.

This study helped to launch Nadi Tarangini as we studied Ayurveda doctors’ need, mindsets to make their clinic SMART. To counsel Ayurveda doctors to help them to learn the need of the time, Evidence based practice, Nadi Tarangini is the best choice.

Appreciation by Ayurveda masters-

I was invited to talk about the Clinical approach of Nadi Pariksha and its digitalization by Nadi Tarangini. Still today many Ayurveda practitioners don’t explain or talk about the science behind Nadi Pariksha. I dared to talk and discuss the same, which was well appreciated by Ayurveda masters. This is the most cherishing and motivating thing for me.

During one of the lectures, the renowned Vaidya Surya Prakash Sharma admired my session and mentioned that “At this young age you are having deep knowledge of Nadi Pariksha.”

New product development Turyaa:

Nadi Pariksha is the diagnostic method, next comes the suggestions and guidance. We did our research and development from LOLa, PulSay to Turyaa within 3 years. To provide the best inputs for UI/UX of the App was a superb experience. Developing an app, its testing and providing all suggestions through it was a learning experience.

I got this great opportunity to design, develop and launch our Ayurveda and Nutrition science based Lifestyle app with my core team Aniruddha Joshi and Mrs Shruti Kulkarni.

Creating diet plans with recipes was fantastic work and I could make value add in my Food and cooking science. This App had a bang ON success.

Research and Product development in Pandemic:

The Pandemic period was the super occupied, innovative and fruitful time we had. We also suffered from a bad time in the pandemic, but our research and product study work went day and night. Stressful but very much good work and time we spent in these 2 crucial years.

Also, clinical research work, collaboration with Ayurveda Institutes like AIIA happened to enhance our work. Dealing with renowned vaidyas and institutes, helped to boost my morale and connect.

Grant proposal writing was a great experience. As a hard core clinician, this was a complete new learning for me. And we cracked one too!!!
Pan India research with Nutritionists enhanced our recipes and Ayurveda based suggestions in a personalized way made our study unique.
Many more milestones are waiting. Definitely we will come up with innovative products based on Ayurveda and wellness for mankind.
From being an aspiring Ayurveda student to a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner to a Nadi Pariksha Expert to a Mentor. My journey has always been extremely fulfilling, evolving & inspiring. I Wish to have an amazing work life with Atreya Innovations, my beloved Nadi Tarangini and a bright and hardworking young Team.

One step at a time our journeys keep moving ahead, evolving new paths, paving the way, creating new opportunities for us & for all!!!

Nadi Pariksha to find out prognosis of cancer.

Cancer, one of the most challenging and spreading diseases of the 21st century, which has now officially become the most dangerous killer in the world according to the World Health Organization.

No one can deny the fact that cancer is related to modernization and an unhealthy and stressful lifestyle. Scientists are making their best efforts to fight against this disease; however, the sure-shot cure is still awaited.
In ayurveda, the concept of cancer is discussed by Charaka and Sushruta as Arbud and Granthi (inflammatory and non-inflammatory swelling) in our body.
Vata, Pitta Kapha are 3 critical forces which maintain our healthy status.

In cancer these 3 forces are completely disturbed causing tissue damage (dhatu vitiation), metabolic disaster and signs and symptoms of cancer.
Granthi can be considered benign tumours , Arbuda resembling malignant tumours.
Granthi along with all ३ dosha in association with mansa, meda, asthi dhatu forming defined capsulated swelling, palpable, more painful if vata dominated, burning if pitta, and dull or no pain heaviness if kapha dominated.
In Arbuda- malignant tumours, similar to granthi pathogenesis but dominated by pitta dosha and rasa, rakta dhatu, causing severe inflammatory and tissue damaging and rapid body wide spread. This Makes it challenging to treat and even difficult to control its spread in the body.
Imbalanced all 3 dosha loses coordination with all dhatu (body tissues), deterioration of normal body system function expressing wide range of signs and symptoms with loss of appetite, sudden weight loss (Cachexia), pain, disturbed body system functioning, reassembling with other normal disorders, this is making cancer challenging to detect in early stages.
Diagnosis through ashtavidha pariksha, mainly nadi pariksha can be done with experts in Ayurveda.
Nadi, which is durbal, Kathin, gambhir shows above symptoms of cancer. Also, as per predominance of dosha nadi properties are observed.
Prognosis in different stages of cancer and its severity can be diagnosed with Nadi pariksha. Sukhasadhya, kashtasadhya or asadhya.
To avoid and as preventative care, everyone should follow a healthy lifestyle and stress-free mind. Consult an Ayurveda physician to diagnose cancer in an early stage to gain a healthy and peaceful life.
