Revolutionizing Our Product: A Look at the Latest Changes from Our CTO

Nadi Tarangini, Atreya Innovations’ flagship product, has received a great reception from practitioners from Ayurveda across India. It is the de-facto diagnostic instrument for many Ayurveda practitioners to reshape and enhance their practices. Atreya Innovations has been a pioneer and leader in the instrumentalization or digitalization of Ayurveda.

Nadi Tarangini has become a true success story in the world of Ayurveda. There are many reasons behind its success, but some of the most important include the ergonomic design of the product, its accuracy and repeatability in diagnostic analysis, and transformation of complex subjective domain knowledge into objective parameters. This is why it was honored with the esteemed “Product Design” accolade presented by Lexus Design.
Additionally, the detailed report card that comes with the product gives Ayurvedic practitioners great insight into their patients’ conditions, allowing for more targeted treatment plans. The instrument is also conveniently accessible and easy to use, further adding to its appeal.
All of these factors have helped reshape the way Ayurvedic practitioners approach their practice. With a more objective, trustworthy, and patient satisfaction-oriented approach, practitioners can now deliver even better results to their patients. We take great pride in hearing countless success stories from our customers who have used the Nadi Tarangini.

But we are not stopping here. With the same commitment to improving our offerings, we are thrilled to announce the launch of new products aimed at expanding our reach and introducing the benefits of digitalized Ayurveda to the world. Here is a sneak peak of our upcoming product launches.

1. Ayurveda on Mobile

Available on iOS

To support our large set of customers, we're proud to announce that we're launching the Nadi Tarangini app for iPhone users. We've heard the increasing demand from our domestic and international customers to be able to use the app on Apple devices, and we took their feedback very seriously.

Thanks to our team of developers and testers, we were able to create the Nadi Tarangini app for iOS in record time. Now, iPhone users can also unleash the benefits of Nadi Tarangini based modern Ayurvedic diagnostics.

Available on Android

While the Nadi Tarangini mobile app was available for Android devices, it was being circulated privately. We're happy to announce that we're launching the official mobile app for Android on the Play Store. Both versions of the mobile app are going to have many exciting features, such as auto-save that automatically saves all reports to the cloud database, upgraded APIs that make the app faster and more reliable, and an enhanced look and feel to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.

2. Aarogya Darshika Report Card

We’ve recently launched a simplified version of the report card called the “Aarogya Darshika.” This concise report card is in language that can be understood by anyone, making it insightful for amateurs. The report card has already created a lot of sensation amongst our customers, and the powers of such simple and insightful report cards are many.

Providing this report card to your patients/customers for a charge is proving to be a successful model in terms of both ROI and customer satisfaction. The report can be generated in English/ Hindi/Marathi on the fly, with support for more languages underway. It has an easy-to-read summary about Prakruti and Nadi-based Vikruti and recommends diet and lifestyle-related suggestions. It even recommends a detailed meal plan for an entire week!

3. Enhanced Battery Backup

We’ve upgraded the Nadi Tarangini hardware from Bluetooth Classic to Bluetooth Low Energy, which has improved the product’s battery life. This change doesn’t affect the accuracy or reliability of the product, but it significantly lowers the power consumption requirement of the device, making its battery last longer.

In conclusion, we want you to know that our journey to provide the very best products and services is far from over. We are continuously working on exciting modifications and upgrades to our offerings, and we always prioritize listening to the needs and desires of our customers. Our commitment to delivering world-class solutions that enhance your life and the lives of your customers remains unwavering. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations.

Stay tuned for even more innovative solutions from Nadi Tarangini!

World Health Day – Jivha Pariksha

“On the occasion of World Health Day, we must learn the importance of our health and work towards making it better. Happy World Health Day.” World Health Day is celebrated Every Year on 7 April.

This is an Initiative by WHO to spread awareness about the importance of Good Health, whether it be Physical or Mental. This Day is celebrated Every Year since 1950. Let us use this opportunity to make a promise to ourselves that we will put our health first in all circumstances. This can be started from Tongue or Jivha Pariksha as it’s a roadmap to your gut health.

Tongue - A Mirror of your gut health

Do you feel a bitter, metallic taste on your tongue?
Or
Have you experienced a white sticky coating on your tongue frequently?
These all observations related to the tongue are reflections of your metabolic health.
In Ayurveda, the appearance of the tongue is very important in the diagnosis of metabolic or gut health. The tongue is considered a reflection of gut health.

Ayurveda mentioned 8-fold diagnostic tools while taking a brief history for assessment of diseases. Jivha Pariksha is amongst them. Thorough observations of the tongue including its size, shape, color, and appearance are very important for knowing gut health.
According to Ayurveda, many diseases originate due to disturbances in gut health or metabolic health. The tongue always reflects these changes on its surface and its unique diagnostic tool.
A healthy tongue that is uniformly pink in color, neither too thick nor thin, and moist, without any coating reflects good gut health. It also shows differentiation according to individual-specific Prakruti. But slight variation in its appearance always shows underlying changes in metabolic health or gut health.

The following entities can be assessed by Tongue examination.

Agni / digestive fire – Coated white tongue always reflects poor gut health with low digestive fire. Poor appetite, constipation, and gases are associated complaints with this white coating. Coated tongue and recurrent mouth ulcers together explain poor digestion and constipation.

Samata / niramata – accumulated aam or dietary toxins produced by poor digestion get reflected on the tongue with a whitish/ yellowish coating. A foul smell is always associated with it. Poor appetite and lethargy are associated symptoms.
Vitiated dosha – discoloration or patches on the tongue are reflections of vitiated doshas. Black spots or patches are due to vitiated Vata, the reddish-brown color associated with mouth ulcers shows pitta vitiation.

Hence tongue examination is very important which gives a proper idea of gut health. By mere observation of the tongue, many times simple dietary changes can give the best results in today’s health complaints. Also, it is a way of assessment of risks or probable underlying health problems.
So, it is the easiest way to assess your gut health daily. So, keep your eyes on your tongue too for better health.

Happy World Health Day

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.

Time to Work on your Eyes while at Work!!!

March is an important month for vision or eye health because it is designated as National Save Your Vision Month. During this month, eye health organizations, healthcare providers, eye specialists, researchers come together to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of your eyes and maintaining good vision.
There are several reasons why March was chosen as the month to focus on vision and eye health. For one, it falls at the beginning of spring, which is a time of renewal and growth. This makes it a natural time to think about renewing your commitment to taking care of your eyes and making sure that you are seeing your best. This is also called “Workplace Eye Awareness Month” typically observed with a purpose to raise awareness about the importance of eye safety in the workplace. Eye injuries can be extremely serious and can lead to long-term damage or even blindness. The month aims to encourage both employers and employees to take steps to prevent eye injuries and to promote eye safety in the workplace.

During Workplace Eye Awareness Month, employers are encouraged to provide eye safety training to their employees, to make sure that they have access to appropriate eye protection, and to ensure that their work environments are free from hazards that could cause eye injuries. Employees are encouraged to take responsibility for their own eye safety by wearing appropriate eye protection when required, reporting any hazards or safety concerns to their employer, and getting regular eye exams to monitor their eye health. This is mostly seen in an industrial setting and workplace related eye injuries are also a concern mostly in those settings.

Since the pandemic and the work from home or distance working model the most strained was the eyesight. Studies have shown that there was typically a high rise in the Eye or Visual issues due to constant use of gadgets, technology, smart phones, internet etc during the pandemic days. The usage of internet, social media, online portals was on the rise especially during the lock-down period. Now we all are so used to the new set-up that we feel working from home is the best solution. 

But the toll it is taking on our eyesight is high. We need to include usage of the internet, screen time, technology also as a part of “Workforce eye awareness month”. Employers and employees need to devise a 20-20-20 rule to help with “Screen time detox” in a day.

Adapting a no screen time day or a screen time off day should be a must when it comes to helping the Employees. This could lead to a major economic loss to the company, employer and in turn to the employee but this could just be one step closer to adapting and adopting a new way of Visual or Screen detox for a day, to help create a new way of working in the office. One can promote preparing for spring and summer activities that may require good vision, such as sports, gardening, and outdoor recreation. By emphasizing the importance of eye health during this month, people are encouraged to take steps to protect their eyes and make sure that they are seeing their best for these activities.
Overall, March is an important month for vision and eye health because it provides a focused time to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of your eyes and maintaining good vision, and it helps to remind people that their eye health is equally important part of their overall health and wellbeing. So, it’s the month of spreading awareness and adapting a new regimen to detox your eyesight for better eye lifespan. Time to work on your eye-sight vision while working!!

Value your life by saving water

World Water Day is celebrated on the 22nd of March every year to raise awareness about the importance of water and the need to conserve and manage it sustainably. The significance of World Water Day is to overcome the issues of the global water crisis and the measures that can be taken to address this issue.
Water is an essential resource for life, and it plays a crucial role in preserving the environment, agriculture, industry, and human health. However, despite its importance, the world is facing a severe water crisis.

According to studies an estimated 2.2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water and 4.2 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services. The situation is further aggravated by. climate change, pollution, and overuse of water resources, leading to water scarcity, drought, and water-related conflicts.
The theme for World Water Day 2023 is “Valuing Water,” which aims to emphasize the economic, social, and cultural value of water and the need to manage it in an unbiased and sustainable manner. The theme also seeks to highlight the role of individual communities and stakeholders in ensuring access to safe and affordable water for all.

Life on earth depends on water which makes earth unique from other planets. On earth 70% of water is present but only about 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater. Of that, only about 1.2 % can be used as drinking water; the rest is locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or buried deep in the ground. Most of our drinking water comes from rivers and streams. The human body has a similar composition with 70 % water which plays a major role in carrying out all the physiological processes. Water is crucial to ingest and expel in the physiological process for any living being. Water has equal importance to other nutrients as it naturally contains lots of electrolytes.

Our ancient science also has depicted ways of water consumption according to the seasons and different time zones of the day.

  • In Varsha rutu (Rainy season) water has to be boiled and one should have it in lukewarm form.
  • In Shishir rutu (winter Season) one should keep water in copper vessels so that it remains warm and provides body heat which is needed in harsh winters.
  • In Grishma rutu (Summer Season) one should consume water preserved in mud pots. Additionally, one may add some herbal roots like Vala to this water to serve as a coolant and reduce the aggravated heat.

To address the global water crisis, several measures can be taken.

  • Firstly, there is a need to improve water governance and management by involving local communities and stakeholders in decision-making processes.
  • Secondly, there should be a focus on water conservation and efficiency measures, such as rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, and water reuse.
  • Thirdly, there should be a concerted effort to address the root causes of the water crisis, including poverty, inequality, and climate change.

In conclusion, World Water Day is an important occasion to raise awareness about the global water crisis and the need to manage water resources sustainably. By valuing water and taking concrete measures to conserve and manage it, we can ensure access to safe and affordable water for all and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.

Do the earth a favor, be a water saver.
