Greetings (Namaskaram)!
I am Yogi Nitya.
Today I will talk about cough,  sinus, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps,
or conditions like recurrent bouts of sneezing,
or cold and cough,
or any chronic illness caused due to Kapha.
What is the Ayurvedic treatment to be taken in such conditions,
will be my topic of discussion today.
With Ayurvedic treatment, I mean,
what kind of Ayurvedic combination or preparation should be taken,
so that sinus, sneezing, allergic sneezing could be cured.
Listen to this very carefully,
as it is very technical,
and you cannot say that in ignorance, you will listen in haste,
and do something in a chaotic manner that would not benefit you,
and then you blame Ayurveda.
We start blaming Ayurveda,
but if we listen carefully at the outset,
then there will be no scope of any mistake.
First of all, let me tell you,
that this experiment that I am going to tell you,
I have experimented a lot earlier,
of different kinds,
on many people.
I tried and observed that some things worked for some,
while some did not work for some.
But, this experiment that I am going to tell you,
I have tried this on many people,
and it showed a considerable effect.
However, I tried this in many different ways,
even added different mixtures,
but still did not get a good result.
But, this formula,
which I am going to give you today,
I tried this under a designed pattern,
and you will see when you try it for yourself,
an improvement in cough and sinus issues.
What is this experiment?
You don't need many ingredients,
just 6-7 things are to be collected.
In these ingredients, the first one is almond kernels.
You have to take the small almonds,
the shape of which is very small,
and so is the kernel.
Also called as the local almonds.
I had mentioned that as Pishori almonds.
People asked what is Pishori almonds?
Pishore is a place.
Almonds grown in that area are called Pishori almonds.
It is very popular.
If you are unable to find that, that is okay,
but do not buy the big sized almond kernels.
The big-sized kernels are used for garnishing purposes.
It does not have any oil.
The kernels that contain the most oil are
of small size.
Take such almond kernels.
Take 250 grams of these almonds.
The second ingredient needed is,
Ashwagandha powder.
You can get the Ashwagandha powder of any Ayurvedic pharmacy,
or you can get it from a grocer's shop.
Buy a good brand,
which you are convinced of its quality,
and one that is not adulterated.
Take 50 grams of that powder.
In that, you have to take 50 grams of Arjuna bark powder.
There is a tree called Arjuna. The bark of that tree trunk,
has to be taken in powdered form - 50 grams.
Next, you have to take Trikatu powder,
50-60 grams.
If you go to buy Trikatu powder from an Ayurvedic shop,
you will get it.
If you are not able to find this Trikatu powder,
or if you feel you want to know more about this powder,
This is made out of three ingredients-
Black pepper, dry ginger, and long pepper.
These three ingredients are mixed in an equal quantity,
and are powdered,
it becomes Trikatu.
You can take this Trikatu,
or you can make it at home.
If you are making it at home,
then take 20 grams of each of the three ingredients.
If you are buying it from the market,
then take 50 grams of Trikatu powder.
This has to be added to the earlier discussed preparation.
In addition to the above, add about 10 grams of Giloy extract
Giloy extract is available in powdered form.
Giloy is a vine,
that climbs on trees.
The stems are cut and the extract is made out of it.
That powder is called as Giloy extract or 'Amritasatva'.
It is available under any of the names.
Take 10 grams of this powder.
Collect all of these together.
As much as the total weight of these medicines,
in an equal quantity, you will add sugar candy,
or you can add Bura sugar.
Not the granular sugar that you bring home,
you can buy Bura from the market,
it is also called as 'Desi Khand' (Tagar or candy).
You may also get it from Patanjali.
Many other companies also make organically.
Bring home bura sugar (Tagar or candy).
Check the weight of all the medicines,
approximately, it would work out to 360 grams.
Buy 360 grams of sugar candy.
When you have collected the ingredients,
now let us understand how is this to be made.
If you have a very dry body,
then what you have to do is,
to lightly roast the almond kernels in a little cow ghee.
Not a lot of ghee, just a little, about 2-5 teaspoons,
enough to roast the almonds well.
Use cow ghee and not buffalo ghee.
Some people ask about this.
If you are going to use buffalo ghee,
better not to roast at all.
If you roast it in cow's ghee,
then this will benefit you.
You will roast it along with its skin.
By the word, skin, I mean the skin of the kernel.
I do not mean the outer hull, the shell.
You have to fry the kernels with the skin,
then you have to crush these as-is.
You have to crush and make it into a powder.
To that, you will add the powder of Arjuna bark,
the Trikatu powder, Ashwagandha root powder, as I told you,
Mix all of these,
also adding the Giloy extract.
After mixing all of these,
add the sugar candy or Tagar.
After putting all of this together,  give it a good mix,
and store it.
Keep it in an airtight container.
If you simply put it in a sachet in a bag,
leaving it exposed to air,
then as many times, this comes into contact with air,
it will begin losing its potency.
Keep this especially in mind.
Every day, in the morning, on an empty stomach...
Some people have a bout of sneezing on waking up.
Blowing the nose causes bleeding in the nose.
In such cases, use 1 teaspoon
on an empty stomach in the morning,
take it with water.
In the evening, around 6-7 pm,
take 1 teaspoonful (1 teaspoon=6-7 gram)
Since half the quantity is sugar candy,
you need not worry.
If, however, sugar candy does not go well with anyone...
Sugar candy is advised,
to balance the heat caused by the medicines.
Sugar candy does not let the body get hot,
it heats only where Kapha problem persists.
You have to take this with warm water.
What kind of warm water?
When you boil water and a quarter remains,
drink it with this water, when it becomes lukewarm.
Take the medicine and drink with the lukewarm water.
If you have to take even more benefit,
20-25 minutes after taking this,
you can drink goat milk.
Listen carefully.
Buy goat milk from the market,
add a few drops of water to it and boil.
To that, you can add a small piece of turmeric,
and a small piece of licorice and boil it.
If you cannot get goat milk, you can take cow milk.
If you add pieces of turmeric and licorice to cow milk,
and boil it,
then that milk will not cause Kapha to you.
You can drink that,
and 20-25 minutes later...
If someday, you forget to take the medicine
empty stomach in the morning,
or you take some other medicine or are away,
then you can take this 2 hours after breakfast.
If you take it 2 hours after breakfast, then
take the evening dose before bedtime.
Follow in this manner, or set accordingly.
The time interval between the two medicines,
should be a minimum of 8 hours.
It is important to be taken twice a day.
It is compulsory.
After a few days of taking this,
you will notice that the allergy, sneezing, sinus...
sinus is nothing but the accumulation of mucus (Kapha),
or some swelling occurs.
The swelling will be reduced by the Arjuna bark.
The Giloy added, will keep the medicine from causing heat,
but will cause a difference quickly and will increase immunity.
Despite that, if you feel,
that it is not a palatable medicine,
is bitter in taste etc.
then the same medicine can be made,
in the form of Gram Flour laddos.
Take 500 gram of coarse Gram Flour,
add 500 gram of cow ghee,
roast it the way it is roasted for making Laddoos.
When the gram flour has been roasted,
then add the medicines,
adjust the sweetness accordingly.
You can make these laddoos of 50 grams each,
and have it in the morning and evening,
and 30 minutes later, drink the milk.
You will not need warm water after the Laddoos.
30 minutes after taking the Laddoos,
you can drink the milk.
This will benefit equally this way also.
It is your choice how you wish to take it.
According to me, it should be taken as a medicine.
The medicine is added to the Laddoo,
for people, who on consuming something hot,
get a urine infection,
or when even slightly hot foods do not suit them mostly.
In the beginning, try to take it as I suggested earlier.
In case, after taking for 2-4 days, you feel that it did not suit you,
or if it is causing you more heat or anything like so,
then you can make it in a Laddoo form.
The Laddoos are so nice that even if someone does not have sinus,
he too can eat it half to one Laddoo daily.
This will increase their immunity, strength, and calcium.
Their power to combat illnesses will rise.
This is not harmful for anyone.
If someone else at home wants to have it can have it.
This was about the medicine and the way of taking it,
there are some other things to know regarding diet and restrictions.
Cold foods are to be avoided.
For sinus and Kapha patients,
how is milk to be consumed...
I have made a video on this topic,
on another channel by my name, Nityanandam Shree,
on how Kapha patients should consume milk.
That is uploaded on that channel.
Listen carefully to that video.
I have made a video titled, 'Kapha solution',
where I have described the ideal lifestyle for Kapha patients.
Watch that video as well.
In the time to come,
I will make a video on Kapha, sinus, and allergy in more detail,
including the yoga and the diet needed for them.
To get all this information,
please connect with the Nityanandam Shree channel.
Moreover, if you have any questions,
I will take it up in the future.
For cases of nasal polyps, or deviated nasal septum,
there are some small additions to be made.
This remedy cures sinus.
A lot of other things need to be done,
For example, not to eat cold foods,
not to take cane juice at all.
We commit some mistakes.
I will soon bring a video on how to rectify our mistakes.
Stay connected with us.
Please do mention in the comments section below,
how much benefit are you getting,
or if there is any shortfall.
Because many times,  we have a faulty approach.
There are millions of people,
having their own problems.
Still, in case, there is a gap,
please do not blame Ayurveda for that.
Rather, discuss openly.
There won't be any problem,
if we make a resolve to get better.
I will try my best to help you,
but you also have to show courage.
I cannot answer each one, that is true,
but I do keep noting the questions,
and try to clarify in the future.
That is all for today.
Goodbye (Namaskaram)!
Do not ask if non-vegetarianism is good or bad,
Only remember that the pain of dying is the same for all.
