C Crisis: What you can do to protect yourself.
What am I doing?
Many have asked me what precautions
am I taking. My disadvantages are my impaired state of health, chronic anxiety,
and inactivity as I suffer from serious neuro-muscular problems. But I have not
deviated a lot for tackling what is here. I am continuing with my old practices
which I think should suffice.
- I have a habit of regularly taking
Amla (Indian gooseberry) tablets or powder twice a day. The body does not
produce Vit C
- I have always focussed on
detoxification and so I take neem and manjistha based preparations now and
then. Remember detoxification is a MUST. If you do it yourself the body does
not have to take it up
- I am a diabetic. A herbal medicine
I take has ingredients like Andrographis Paniculata and Triphala which are also
good for C and detoxification, and are also great anti parasitic
- For my insomnia I take a herbal preparation
that contains herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha
- I take the golden milk formula -
milk with turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, ginger powder, and cumin powder at night.
Not a purchased combination but prepared at home. Helps me sleep. This is a
great protective and anti inflammatory preparation
- I ensure I don't suffer from
constipation. I take water whenever I feel thirsty. If you keep your bowels in
good condition you will not have parasitical activity in your body
- I take very simple food and try to
avoid taking non veg - which is difficult to avoid when I am on tour. I never
over eat. The moment I feel I have taken enough I stop
- Almond and cashew nuts are my
favourite. I take a few everyday. They are rich in Zinc
- I take BC 28 tablets every day.
This combination contains all the biochemic tissue salts of Schussler
- I message my head and body with oil
before I take a bath. I use sesame oil. I stand under the Sun for sometime
before the bath. I think it takes care of Vitamin D
- I always remember MahaSambhuti
Chakradhar, Sri Ramakrishna, and Sri Ramana Maharshi as I am devoted to them.
It is my habit to read books on spirituality
- It is a regular practice with me to
reflect on the temporary nature of this world and on the inevitable outcome of
death
- I have the habit of being a witness
to whatever happens around me
The only thing I have added is take
Anu Taila in the nostrils twice a day. Besides its filtering and protective
abilities it is also good for anxiety and insomnia, and pollution as well.
Those who do not have access can use sesame or mustard oil instead. I have also
started taking 1/4th tsp of ginger powder on the tip of my tongue.
After it dissolves I swallow it. For half an hour after this I don’t take water
or food.
I don't watch TV. I read the
newspaper to keep abreast of developments as I am called to TV programs and
webinars.
I am fortunate to live in the
outskirts of a not so polluted city. The administration here is a notch over
the rest. Ever since the second wave there has also been an attempt to keep
internet speeds very low. The greatest threat I face is the internet tower in
my neighbours roof. If at all I come down with something it will be from this.
I have an adequate knowledge of
homeopathy so I have kept all the probable medications at home. The current
symptoms point to China, Eup Perf, Arsenic, Acid Phos, Bryonia, Rhus Tox,
Aconite, Belladona, Carbo Veg, Antim Tart, Ipecac etc. I also have herbs like
Giloy and Tulsi. It is not good to self medicate as you will not be able to
judge the symptoms. Take the help of a homeopath and ayurved. If it is a
telephone prescription please remember to pay his fees without fail.
The remedies Arsenic, Aconite,
Bryonia and Belladona ought to be kept handy. They can abort any disease when
the symptoms are right. Arsenic is great when any disease comes on with great
restlessness and anxiety. Aconite if it comes on suddenly with great fear of
death - you feel it is certain you will die. Belladona if it arrives with
redness of face, fear and a bursting headache. Bryonia if it comes on with a
frontal headache, increased thirst, and body ache - you feel like lying down
all the time. Just a dose or two of the 200C potency is enough.
It is also important to maintain the
alkalinity of the body. Take the proper herbs or homeopathic preparations if
you suffer from acidity. Take herbs if you suffer pitta problems - your body is
always hot, you cannot bear the sun, and you have skin problems. If you feel
acidic you can take Natrum Carb 200C to help overcome. A single dose is often
enough. You can also take a small pinch of edible soda in a glass of water but
don't overdo it.
Obesity, smoking and other uses of
tobacco, inactivity, and lack of exposure to sunlight are great threats. One
needs to actively tackle these problems. If you are obese you can be sure you
are full of toxins. The obese are also attracted to junk food as also those
whose guts are not healthy. Do yoga and pranayama. Stop putting junk into your
body. Stay away from cosmetics. Switch off wifi when not in use.
This crisis will severely test our
destructive habits and lack of discipline. Remember God, pray, be humble,
rectify your habits and overindulgence and fight it out. Nature is in a
cleansing mode. It will weed out all that are sick and incapable of healing
themselves. This crisis has its real origins from the cosmic energy levels. It
is not to be taken lightly. Align with the greater powers and stay afloat.
Don't panic if symptoms arrive. They
merely indicate the body is doing its job. The greater the severity of symptoms
the sooner you heal. We have so many testimonials of people who are into
naturopathy and have tackled this crisis, even very serious symptoms, by just
taking rest, plenty of fluids, and by adequate sun bathing. Tribal populations
do this for every fever. They just lie down and wait it out. They allow the
body to do its job. Suppressing a fever, stopping elimination, and using the worst
of toxins for treatment and prevention is something that quacks do.
And don't forget. Plant as many trees as you can. Prevent felling.
Dry ginger powder.
Dr Hitesh Jani, a reputed Ayurved of
India, has successfully implemented this prevention strategy in many parts of
India and recieved appreciation from the Government.
What he recommends;
Step 1: To be sniffed through Both
Nostrils – Take a pinch of Dry Ginger Powder and sniff lightly through each
nostril one by one. Do it in sitting or standing position. Do not lie down for
a while. Do not eat or drink anything for atleast half an hour . Slight
tingling or burning sensation is normal after doing this and it will subside
slowly. Follow this practise once in morning and then in evening for about 7
days. One can repeat the process with a gap of few days for regular prevention
till pandemic
Step 2: To be put on tongue – Take
1/4th teaspoon or 1 Gram of Dry Ginger Powder. Put it on the tip of your tongue
and allow it to get mixed with saliva and gradually swallow it. Slight burning
sensation is normal in the process. Do this twice a day, post lunch and dinner
for about 7 days. Do not eat or drink anything for about half an hour . One can
repeat the process with a gap of few days for regular prevention till pandemic
Precautions
1. Pregnant Women should avoid this
therapy
2. Children below 12 years should not
do Nasya or Inhalation process as mentioned in step 1. They can be given ½ gram
Dry ginger powder roasted with cow ghee.
3. People already suffering from any
critical disease related to Pitta disorders must avoid
4. Persons with Highly Fluctuating
Blood Pressure should also avoid.
He cites references from several
ayurvedic texts and classifies the current situation as a "Madak" - a
cleansing exercise of nature where all settlements are wiped out. This comes
after every 200 to 250 years to eliminate adharma and restore dharma. It is the
natural consequence of not following the laws of nature. The only recourse is
to become healthy again, pray to the higher powers, conduct kirtans to cleanse
the mind, and do home and community based yagnyas to purify the atmosphere.
