Ayurveda Medicine

Ayurveda means the science of life. Followers and practitioners alike believe in this ancient form of medicine as well as its philosophy of treating the whole person.

Ayurvedic medicine consists of many different elements. In India, there are eight distinct branches of Ayurvedic medicine:

Internal Medicine
Surgery
Treatment of head and neck disease
Gynecology, obstetrics and pediatrics
Toxicology
Psychiatry
Care of the elderly and rejuvenation
Sexual vitality

Nearly 80 percent of the population of India use some form of Ayurvedic medicine for healing, with or without a combination of conventional medicine. In the United States, over 200,000 adults will use Ayurveda medicine in any given year.

The underlying basis of Ayurveda medicine is that the foundation of health has to do with our connection to the universe, namely the bodys constitution or prakriti and life forces or doshas.

The prakriti refers to a persons general health, the likelihood of them coming out of balance, and their ability to resist disease or recover from it. The prakriti is unique to each person, and describes the way their body functions to maintain health. Key elements are the way the body digests and disposes of waste. The prakriti generally stays the same over ones lifetime.

The doshas are the three life forces or energies found in us all, with some combination of all three found in everyone. The likelihood of a person contracting a disease are based on the balance of the doshas as well as the state of the body, and mental and lifestyle factors.

The three doshas are:

Vata this dosha respresents ether and air. It is the most powerful of the three as it controls vital body processes like breathing, the heart, cell division, the mind and waste disposal. This dosha can be upset by fear, grief, and lack of sleep, among other forces. Those with vata as their main dosha are susceptible to skin and neurological conditions, heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis as well as other afflictions.

Pitta this dosha represents fire and water, and controls both the hormones and digestive system. Pitta can be upset by spicy or sour food, fatigue and too much time in the sun. Those with pitta as their main dosha are susceptible to hypertension, heart disease, and others.

Kapha this dosha represents water and earth, and controls strength and immunity. Kapha is upset by greed, sleeping during the day, and too much salt and sugar in the diet. Those with kapha as their main dosah are susceptible to diabetes, cancer, obesity and respiratory illnesses.

Ayurveda medicine has been around for centuries, and is here to stay. It is an alternative, holistic, and complete medicine and its list of patients grows each day.

Differential Treatment Of China’s Tibetan Medicine Diagnosis Of Disease

Chinas Tibetan Medicine Diagnosis Diagnosis, the process of recognizing and judging diseases, is the first stepto tackle the problem of disease. Hence, diagnosis appeared as soon as Chinese medicine came into being, and Tibetan medicine is no exception to this rule. There is aspecial chapter devoted to diagnosis in Rgyud bzhi. Later, Tibetan scholars ofsuccessive ages supplemented, revised and studied the knowledge of diagnosis,to form a special class of china’sTibetan diagnostics.
Tibetan diagnostics includes interrogation, inspection of colors, urinalysis,pulse diagnosis and other techniques, and is unique, comprehensive, and withan ethnic flavor.
Interrogation
Interrogation refers to questioning the patient about issues related to the illness. It is very extensive. Among the public, there is a wrong idea that whena doctor asks the patient any question, especially if he asks many questions, itmeans the practitioner is inferior. This is non-scientific and impractical. Thesepeople maintain that “without opening the patient’s mouth to understand theillness” is the qualification of a superior practitioner. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
In fact, both Tibetan medicine and TCM emphasize that diagnostics shouldbe comprehensive, with materials obtained from the four diagnostic methodsand interpreted without any obvious bias to any one of them. Rgyud bzhi does point out that “there are three diagnostic methods, inspection, palpation and interrogation, which (should be applied) comprehensively”, or, in other words,by making use of one’s own sensory organs the practitioner can understand and examine the condition of the patient.
Among all methods, Tibetan medicine claims that interrogation is the first tobe applied. With the practitioner’s overall basic knowledge about diseases and its theory to explore all related clues and materials, the practitioner collect alluseful information.
First, understanding the history of illness, including the time of onset, previous treatment received, what kinds of therapy, and its effect. All these are helpful to judge the nature of disease and are of significant value.
In case the patients’ condition is serious or even critical, and he or she cannot answer any questions, relevant materials and information should be obtained from close friends or relatives. The following condition should be clarified.

Understanding Leads to Better Medicine for Seniors

Medications can affect a senior’s cognitive ability, emotional stability, and balance. Some of the most common side effects of medication can be drowsiness, forgetfulness, anxiousness and depression. Oftentimes, as seniors experience these side effects, they automatically assume it is part of the normal aging process. Adding alcohol can exacerbate the problem and in some cases result in a deadly combination.

According to Mary Weathers, a Franchise Owner and Registered Nurse with Always Best Care Senior Services in Flagler County, Florida, seniors are more likely to experience chronic health problems, increasing their likelihood to utilize prescription drugs and overthe- counter supplements. Weathers, goes on to say that a combination of medications can create a higher risk for side effects. She also says that as our bodies age, organ function and blood circulation begin to slow and we tend to have more body fat. These changes allow drugs to stay in the body longer, increasing the chances of side effects.

Another common problem for seniors is that deteriorating eyesight can make prescription labels or package descriptions hard to read. This can lead to improper dosage, and as a result, can cause problems when medications are not taken properly. In addition, a senior who is taking several drugs or has cognitive impairment may forget to take medications or might not even know when they took their last dose. Dan Gregory, who is a Certified Senior Advisor and Franchise Owner with Always Best Care Senior Services in Wake Forest, North Carolina, recommends utilizing a drug organizer, which is a pill container that has separate pockets for each day. Dan goes on to say that helping a senior with a care plan is crucial. Communication between the senior, family, caregiver, physician, and pharmacist can help eliminate potential problems.

Medications are necessary as we age. However, some pain and emotional medications come with a high risk of dependency. Seniors can experience stress, anxiety, and depression just like anyone else. Seniors can help curb their dependence or addiction for some medications by sticking to routines such as regular bedtimes, wake-up times, consistent meal times, regular physical activity, and regular social activities. Discuss with your doctor any prescription use along with over-the-counter medications to ensure that you are not creating a recipe for disaster. Always be mindful of the expiration date of your medications. Out of date prescriptions can spoil, losing their effect or even become more potent intensifying their side effects.

Finally, if a senior is seeing several doctors or specialists, they should educate their physician on all the medications they are taking. It is always a good idea to take medications with you to your doctor’s appointments. This will allow doctors to be cognizant of a senior’s current medications before prescribing another that could cause unhealthy drug interactions.

If you or a family member, senior or otherwise, has an upcoming appointment with a Physician or Pharmacist, great questions to understand and ask before taking prescriptions or over-the-counter medications include the following.

??Why am I taking this drug? ??Is this drug necessary? ??How and when should I take this drug? ??What are the side effects? ??What are the interactions with alcohol and other drugs? ??How long will I be on this medication?

A better understanding of how medications can affect seniors along with a proper care plan will ultimately lead to better medicine for seniors.
