Ayurveda as a branch of medical science has its foundation in ancient Indian civilization that continues to hold extreme importance even in present times. This is because the fundamentals of Ayurveda are based essentially on human characteristics and intrinsic causes that have remained and will remain constant with time.
Our traditional knowledge of Ayurveda and its efficacy has also been acknowledged by Western/ allopathic systems of medicine, which are looking to include this great science of Ayurveda as traditional and complementary medicines as a supplement to existing allopathic health care for prevention and recovery.
The world is looking for prevention and early diagnosis of the sufferings along with finding the causes behind it. The Ayurvedic diagnostic methodology is key for the holistic well-being of mankind. Today, Ayurveda is relevant globally because of its holistic and comprehensive approach to health.
Analysts expect that by 2022, Ayurvedic medicine will have become a nearly $10 million industry. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health Trusted Source estimates that around 240,000 Americans already use Ayurvedic regimens and remedies as part of their overall healthcare.

मोटापे के साथ आने वाला या दिखाई देने वाला सबसे बडा दुर्गुण हैं “आलस”। या फिर ऐसा भी बोल सकते है की ये ‘अंडे और मुर्गे’ जैसा हैं । किसका नंबर पहले है ये मालुम नही हैं । इस आलस दुर्गुण के बारे में बहुत कम पढने को मिलता है, लेकीन मोटापे कि चिकित्सा मे इस दुर्गुण से हमे सबसे ज्यादा लढना पडता है, या फिर खुदको खुदसे।
तो इसकी शुरुआत कुछ इस तरह होती है। “ चलो आज महफ़िल को, कुछ इस तरह सजाते है, तुम चाय का बंदोबस्त करो, हम समोसा लेकर आते है।”
पिछले दशक के मुकाबले इनदिनों हमारी जिंदगी काफी रफ़्तार भरी हैं लेकिन काम करने का तरीका गतिहीन है। काम का तनाव, देर रात तक चलने वाला काम, परिवार की जिम्मेदारिया और उन्हें समय न दे पाना ये सभी के घरोंमे दिखाई देता है। इनसबको संतुलित रखने का हमने एक नया तरीका ढूंढा है।
सप्ताहांत की पार्टियां, हॉटेल के बाहर की भीड, मॉल की भीड, कम समय मे उभरी हुई फ़ूड इंडस्ट्री इसका द्योतक है। लेकिन इसके साथ हम स्वास्थ्य का संतुलन बना नही पाए। यह असंतुलन पाचनक्रिया के बिगड़ने का प्रमुख कारण है। यह बिगड़ी हुई पाचनक्रिया शरीर मे कफ और मेद को बढाता है। इस विकृति से गुरू और मंद गुण बढता है, जिससे आलस उत्पन्न होता है। यह आलस स्थूलता को हटाने मे सबसे ज्यादा रुकावट पैदा करता है।
एक मधुमेह विशेषज्ञ का क्लिनिक था, जहां बुजुर्ग मरीज बहुत देर से खुदका नंबर आने के बाद डॉक्टर के कन्सल्टिंग रूम मे गये।
” एक महिने मे ३ किलो वजन बढा है, कम कीजिये वरना दवाईयॉं बढती जाएंगी, आगे और भी परेशानियां बढ़ेंगी। आप रोज ४५ मि. वॉकिंग और योगा कीजिये। ” इतना कह कर डॉक्टर ने अगले पेशंट को बुलाया
” डॉक्टर साहब! मैं रोज टहलने निकलता हॅूं, लेकिन एक ‘ज्येष्ठ नागरिक संघ’में गप्पें मारके वापस जाता हॅूं। अनुसासन से कुछ करने का मन ही नहीं होता, इसके लिए मे क्या करु ?” थोड़ी हिमत जुटा कर उन्होंने डॉक्टर से पुछा।
“करना तो पड़ेगा खुदके लिए” यह कहते हुए डॉक्टर ने अगले पेशंट की फाईल लेली. ये एक आलस की छटा है।
कॉलेज के दोस्त पॅंडेमिक के कारण काफी दिनों बाद मिलते है और बारिश में ट्रेक को निकलते है. १ कि.मी की चढाई के बाद २ लोगों की सॉंस फूलने लगती है और २ लोगों के पैरों मे ऐंठन आती है। सभी ट्रेक छोडकर नीचे आते है। पास के हॉटेल मे पेटभर खाना, ड्रिंक्स लेकर स्वास्थ और मोटापा के विषय पर चर्चा करते है। बढा हुवा पेट बहुत समस्याओं का कारण है, ये पता है पर कुछ होता नहीं। यहभी आलस की एक छटा है।
यह कहानीयॉं क्लिनीक मे रोज सुनने को मिलती है। महिला मरीज इनफर्टिलिटी , पीसीओएस, थाइरोइड
की परेशानियों को ले कर आती है। पुरुष मरीज बढा हुआ रक्तचाप , पीठ दर्द, मधुमेह इत्यादि समस्याओं को लेकर आते हैं ।
इन सबका मूल कारण बढा हुवा वजन होता है। दवाईयों के साथ व्यायाम और संतुलित आहार ज्यादा जरुरी होता है, लेकीन आलस इन सबके बीच मे आकर रोगों की कडी तोडने नहीं देता है. विशेषतः महिलाओ मे डिलेवरी के बाद बहुत सारे बदलाव आते है। उनमे व्यायाम के प्रति या संतुलित आहार का पालन करने के प्रति बहुत सारी उदासीनता दिखाई देती है।
यहा पर तूर्या का उपयोग बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हो जाता है।
स्थूलता मे शरीर के हिसाब से (पि. पि. ऍम. ऍम.) PPMM चार सूत्र बहुत महत्त्वपूर्ण है। तूर्या ऐप और कोच इस सूत्र के जरिए ही काम करते है।
ये चार महत्वपूर्ण चीजे है. हर एक व्यक्ति के लिए प्रोत्साहन बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। वजन कम करते समय पहले पन्द्रह दिन शरीर और मन का प्रतिरोध ज्यादा रहता है। अगर इन १५ दिनो मे आलस की शृंखला को तोडने का काम अच्छी तरीके से हुआ तो बाद में स्वास्थ बन जाती है। हम यह जीवन शैली और खुद मे होने वाले अच्छे बदलाव का आनंद लेना शुरू करते है। इस जीवन शैली को अधिक समय तक आत्मसात करने के लिए आपको एक प्राचीन आयुर्वेदा, आधुनिक संयंत्र और आहार शास्त्र की जोड़ मिलाना आवश्यक है। तूर्या के जरिए इन सभी कारकोका ख्याल रखा जाता है। तूर्या इन चारों कारको पे काम करने वाला सबसे सक्षम पर्याय है। नाडी परीक्षा के जरिए आलस के साथ जुड़ने वाले गुणों का भी परीक्षण तूर्या के साथ होता है। इसीलिये आतंरिक स्वास्थ की निगरानी प्रभावी तरीके से होती है।
पॅंडेमिक मे डालगोना कॉफ़ी से लेकर बहुत सारे भोजन चुनौतियों को हमने पुरे किए है।
चलो, अब आलस और मोटापे को मिटाने की चुनौती लेते है। बेहतर स्वास्थ्य के लिए पुश अप , घूमना,दौड़ना, ट्रेकिंग जैसे चुनौतिया आत्मसात करते है। “तुर्या” के जरिए आलस और मोटापे को घर बैठे ही दूर करने की कोशिश करे , और बेहतरीन अनुशाषित, उत्साही और स्वास्थ जीवन से पुनः जुड़े ।

In today’s modern era we have often heard about ‘Metabolism’. Metabolism is the body process which comprises both anabolism and catabolism. Catabolism is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler units. In this process there is energy generation.
Anabolism is the antagonistic process to catabolism in which synthesis or build-up aspect of metabolism occurs. These processes are continuously occurring in the body, however, time duration of the day has an impact on the rate of metabolism. The key to weight loss success may be understanding how your metabolism really works. It’s necessary to understand the dosha kala effect on metabolism. Eating the right amount, the right kind of food and at the right day time(Dosha kala) will help in weight management.
We have been bombarded with such phrases from our childhood.
We can relate to such phrases now during modern new norms.
Ayurveda dosha kala(day time) and metabolism(body processes) are two equal and important sides of well being and healthy eating.
According to ancient Ayurveda science our ancestors have educated us about the “Dosha clock”.
In the modern science era we can connect this with metabolism which is nothing but biological clock.
As the period from 6 AM to 10 AM is Kapha Kala(Kapha time) and 6 PM to 10 PM as well, we need to rise early and perform physical activities like yoga, cardio, stretching to metabolise fat tissue. Imbalanced metabolism affects proper nourishment of kapha and meda dhatu/ fat tissues which results in obesity or weight gain.
If we rise early and perform physical activities, the Kapha will not get aggravated and the stored meda dhatu(fatty tissue) will be utilised and ultimately will help in weight loss.
In this period we should eat foods which will eliminate kapha and help in reducing it.
Easily digestible food should be consumed during kapha kala as the digestive fire and Digestive Quotient (EQ) is not very low (Mand agni) during this period . During evening kapha kala light and early dinner is advisable. Less exertion physical activities, yoga, relaxation therapies are most preferable.
For example: Tulsi mint Green tea, Ginger Tulsi tea, Cinnamon tea.
By rising early in the morning emotional quotient(EQ) increases as well. It makes the person wise with a better presence of mind.
In aspects of nutrition science too, as we rise early in the morning our metabolism gets a boost. By performing physical activities in the morning, our body secretes happy feeling hormones like serotonin and endorphins. These keep us active throughout the day and thus helps in proper functioning of physiology.
The period of Pitta kala is from 10 AM to 2 PM and 10 PM to 2 AM. Ayurveda science has mentioned that the digestive fire(Agni) is intense during pitta kala and hence foods that are Guru(heavy to digest) can be consumed during this period for better nourishment and balanced metabolism. Thus lunch should be the major meal of the day.
According to the new norm, some people practice having brunch in their routine which is a good way to keep the digestive fire in balance. Foods like chapati, stuffed parathas, basundi(rabadi), puran poli, chole, rajma, paneer can be consumed and easily digested in this period rather than during other dosha kala.
The pitta kala from 10 pm is well known for rejuvenation and healing process of the body. Hence sound sleep is essential for the body to build new cells and repair the wear and tear. One should not consume food or perform any physical activity during this period.
Vata Kala begins from 2PM to 6 PM and from 2 AM to 6AM. After this there is Vata kala in which the Pachan(digestion process) continues and helps in assimilation of food. During this period no heavy meals but moist and warm foods should be consumed.
We should not consume foods which create dryness like Bhel of puffed rice, namkeen, farsan, breads, chola, rajma, potato and its products during this period.
For example- pomegranate, dry figs, walnuts and infused waters like amla- ginger infused water is advisable
There is a relation between metabolism and Dosha kala. At Turyaa platform we suggest lifestyle modifications and many recipes according to prakruti of individuals, Dosha kala of the day, health complaints and the goal to be achieved .

A girl staying at a hostel studying for a professional course, Age – 22 years, came to the clinic with complaints of sudden weight gain, typically abdominal fat, outburst of pimples and insomnia. Brief history revealed that she had ATKT last semester and appeared once again for university exams last month. She said that her eating habits, sleeping patterns changed suddenly due to stress and anxiety built during exam time. Sudden hunger storms, mood swings are common during the last 6 months. She used to eat chips, salted peanuts, bread butter, Maggie, chocolates, cupcakes even at midnight due to hunger storms. Now, all the links to her present complaints were clear.
According to Ayurveda, stress is responsible for Rasa dhatu impairment and Vata vitiation. The impaired rasa dhatu and Vata dosha affects metabolic health causing sluggishness to it. This impaired metabolism causes fat accumulation and hence obesity. The typical belly fat pattern due to stress can be easily identified.
An IT guy, full of work pressure is always seen surrounded by potato chips and cold drinks items on his table, a writer- writing his script before deadline always seems to be smoking his favorite cigar and stretching his brain. A jobless young woman running her family is experiencing sleepless nights and with altered food habits. This pandemic showed many such examples of stress and associated obesity ranging from job stress, economic stress or health stress. Stress, altered food habits, altered sleeping patterns are sequential steps leading to Obesity.
Need of the hour is to help them by understanding their problem by providing emotional and social support.
Chronic stress is always seen associated with obesity. Numerous studies have shown that physical or emotional distress increases the intake of food high in fat, sugar, or both. High cortisol levels, in combination with high insulin levels are responsible factors. The downside to consuming so much sugar is that your body tends to store sugar, especially after stressful situations. This energy is stored mainly in the form of abdominal fat, which can be particularly hard to shed. So the vicious cycle starts: get stressed, release cortisol, gain weight, crave more sugar, eat more sugar, gain more weight. Even if you aren’t eating foods high in fat and sugar, cortisol also slows down your metabolism, making it difficult to lose weight.
Stress with higher BMI is one of the worst combinations leading to blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. This is the condition in which not only individuals, but family is also seen to be affected and is very common in the age group of 30 to 40 years.
Proper diagnosis of obesity type, minimizing stress like factors which are complicating obesity and emotional support, proper guidance and motivation is topmost requirement of such individuals. One can not achieve a weight loss goal by neglecting stress factors. Here, Turyaa can play an important role.
