Treasures of AyurvedaNAGPANCHAMI TEACHES US HEALTH MANTRA ( health mantra -05 )BLOG NO-35
Posted on August 17, 2021
Have you ever wondered if there is any role of festivals in keeping us healthy?
Like today is Nagpanchami ……so is there any SCIENCE behind diet and routine advised on Nagpanchami.
Changes in season brings about changes in our body too but we don’t make changes in diet and routine according to change in season so we fall sick.
So how will we know what changes to make in diet and routine to remain Healthy even during season change?
Therefore our ‘Hrishis’ kept festivals during season change, and they advised what diet and routine to be followed during season change as diet and routine of that Festival.
Surprised…..to know …..that there science in our culture and festivals too?
So let’s understand What diet and routine is advised on Nagpanchami?
1. Upvaas – as rainy season is still going on.
2.Don’t Cut and Fry.
3. Milk – Pittah Shamak – Kheer, halwa
Upvaas – Our digestion is governed by sun’s clock.In rainy days as sun is covered with clouds most time of day so our digestive power (agni) is weak. If we eat heavy to digest food then we tend to fall sick.So UPAVAAS is advised.
Do do not CUT and FRY– According to Ayurveda September and October is Pittah prakop Kaal means Pittah is going to increases alot in these month. So as a prevention we are advised to slowly stop eating fried food advised in rainy season.
Milk – Milk we offer to Nagdevta which Symbolically initiates us to start consuming white things as white colour is pittah shamak ie it reduces pittah.
So all things advised on Nagpanchmi are Preventive measures againts october heat .
So our Health Mantra – 05 is
“Start eating white things, do upvaas and reduce eating fried food.”
The diet advised on one festival is not only for that day but that diet and routine should be followed from that festival till next festival.
So follow changes advised on festivals and remain HEALTHY
Stay Healthy Stay Blessed

नागपंचमी हमे सिखाती है निरोगी रहने के उपाय | (आरोग्य मंत्र – ०५)Blog no- 34
Posted on August 13, 2021
कभी आपने सोचा है की त्यौहारो का हमे निरोगी रखने मे कोई महत्व है क्या ?
जैसे आज नागपंचमी है | नागपंचमी मे बताए गए आहार विहार का कुछ प्रयोचन है क्या ?
ऋतु मे जो बदलाव होते है उस नुसार हमारे शरीर मे भी बदलाव होते है, पर ऋतु के नुसार हम हमारे आहार विहार मे बदलाव नही करते इसलिए हम बीमार पड़ते है |
इसलिए हमारे ऋषियो ने ऋतु के बदलाव के समय त्यौहार बिठाये और ऋतु मे जो बदलाव हमे आहार विहार मे करने चाहिए वो उन त्यौहारो के अनुसार हमे बताए है |
जैसे अभी वर्षा ऋतु चल रहा है | वर्षा ऋतु के आहार विहार की जानकारी हमने बारिश के मौसम मे प्रतिकर शक्ती बढाने के उपाय विडियो मे पहले भी बताई है और विडियो की लिंक नीचे दी है |
तो वर्षा ऋतु मे हमने जाना की खट्टी चिजे जैसे दहि, छाछ, पनीर, fermented और बेकरी पदार्थ नही खाने चाहिए | वर्षा ऋतु में वात बढता है इसलिए तली हुई चीजे खानी चाहिए और पचन शक्ती कम होती इसलिए हल्का अन्न खाना चाहिए |
वर्षा ऋतु मे अभी श्रावण महिना आ गया | श्रावण मे वर्षा ऋतु मे थोडे बदलाव हुये है, याने बारिश कम हो रही है और धीरे धीरे धूप बढ़ रही है मतलब वात कम हो रहा है और धीरे धीरे पित्त का संचय चालू हो गया है | इसलिए आज नागपंचमी का त्यौहार आ गया |
जानते है नागपंचमी मे हमे क्या आहार विहार बदलाव बताए गए है –
- उपवास – आयुर्वेद नुसार हमारी पचनशक्ति सूरज की शक्ति से नियंत्रित होती है. बारिश में सूरज बादलो से ढका होता है इसलिए हमारी पचनशक्ति भी मंद होती है| ऐसे में हमने अगर पचन करने में भारी पदार्थ खाए तो हम बीमार पड़ेंगे इसलिए अभी ज्यादा उपवास करने चाहिए याने हल्का अन्न और मात्रा में कम अन्न खाना चाहिए |
- तलो मत काटो मत –आयुर्वेद नुसार सितम्बर और अक्टूबर यह पित्तप्रकोप काल है याने इस काल में पित्त बहुत बढ़ता है | तली हुई चीज़े पित्त और बढाती है | वर्षा ऋतु मे हम तली हुई चीजे खाते है, पर अभी पित्त बढने वाला है, इसलिए तली हुई चीजे खाना धीरे धीरे कम करना चाहिए |
- दूध – आज के दिन हम नाग देवता को दूध देते है | ये प्रतिक है की आज से हमने सफ़ेद चीजे ज्यादा खानी चाहिए| क्युकी आगे पित्त प्रकोप का काल आ रहा है | सफ़ेद चीजे पित्त शामक होती है |इसलिए दूध, दूध के पदार्थ , चावल ऐसी चीजे खाना शुरुवात करनी चाहिए|
नाग पंचमी में बताए सारे आहार विहार के बदलाव हमे आगे आने वाले पित्त प्रकोप से बचाने के लिए है| इसलिए हमने धीरे धीरे यह बदलाव करना शुरू किया तो हम अगले रुतु में निरोगी रहेंगे |
तो अभी आपने जाना की त्यौहार हमे निरोगी रहेने के उपाय बताने के लिए बनाये गए है |
त्यौहार होते है हमारे स्वास्थरक्षण के मार्गदर्शक |
इसलिए एक त्यौहार मे बताए गए आहार विहार के बदल हमे अगला त्यौहार आने तक रखने चाहिए |
इसलिए अभी नागपंचमी मे जो हमे बताए नियम वो हमे अगले त्यौहार आने तक करने चाहिए तो आप निरोगी रहोगे |
आज का आरोग्य मंत्र है –
” सफ़ेद चिजे खाना शुरू करो, उपवास करो और तली हुई चीजे खाना धीरे धीरे कम करो |”
ऐसे हर त्यौहार में बताये आहार विहार बदल को अपनाओ और निरोगी रहो |
Stay Healthy, Stay Blessed.
How to keep IMMUNITY high in rainyseason (Blog – 08)
Posted on July 18, 2020
As discussed earlier in our last blog ” HOW TO KEEP IMMUNITY HIGH” , Immunity is lifestyle change according to change in season…..which our hrishi’s named as “HRITUCHARYA” (Change in diet and routine according to season)
” As in nature so in our body”
In rainy season, WETNESS, SOURNESS, VAAT (AIR) ,COLDNESS increases in environment as well in our body. So we tend to fall sick with diseases that increase these qualities in body.
| NATURE | BODY | DISEASES |
| SUN IS NOT PRESENT | BODY FIRE DECREASES | LESS APPETITE |
| VAAT INCREASES | VAAT INCREASES | JOINT, MUSCLE, EAR, TEETH ,STOMACH ALL KINDS OF PAIN |
| SOURNESS | SOURNESS | SWELLINGS |
| WETNESS, COLDNESS | KAPHA INCREASES | COUGH, COLD, FEVER, FUNGAL INFECTIONS |
So diet and routine opposite to above will keep mahabhutas in balalnce in our body and thus keep us healthy…in short it will keep our immunity high.
The MANTRA for IMMUNITY of rainy season would be-
DRY, SPICY, OIL, HOT,LIGHT
So the ideal routine would be –
- Drink a glass of hot water in the morning.
- After brushing teeth , massage gums, teeth and tongue with dry dantamanjan powder( dry powder of mixed herbs). This powder removes excess KAPHA from mouth and throat, strengthens gums, removed tartar, cleans coating of tongue, removes bad breath and thus keeps our mouth (the first door of digestion) healthy.
- Drink hot tea, preferably without milk, add herbs like sunth, tulsi, a pinch of turmeric.
- Vaat increases in this season, so apply and lightly massageoil to whole body ….prefer oil with warm qualities like til oil ( sesame oil).
- According to ayurveda, LIGHT exercise should be done in rainy and summer season.
- Applying oil before exercise is beneficial as it reduced VAAT as well helps avoid strains, aches, sprains following exercise.
- Non – strenous exercise is preferred in this season. Do exercise which increases warmth in our body and increases digestive fire…like SURYA NAMASKAR , Pranayam (Especially, Kapal-bhati and Bhastriya Pranayam)
- Take HOT WATER bath. Add a few NEEM leaves to bath water. Neem has antibacterial and anti fungal properties. Fungal infections tend to happen more in rainy season so neem is good preventive measure for it.
- Eat garlic chutney in diet. ( Garlic has very good anti- viral property…but shouldn’ t be eaten in raw form as might cause stomach ulcer…..make a chutney of garlic with coconut, salt, sugar and red chilly powder in it). In rainy season, viral infections like viral cold, cough, flu, fever are in boom. So this chutney acts as a protective umbrella against these rainy diseases.
- Use alot spices ( garam masala i.e. pepper, ginger, cinnamon, cardammon, cloves, bay leaf, cumin seeds etc) in diet …avoid green chillies.
- Last but not the least, LIGHT DINNER is very very important in this season as digestive powder is less in this season .
- Eat rosated food. Avoid fruits, Eat dryfruits.
- Keep yourself Dry. Wear sleepers at home.
- Avoid things which have qualities similar to the qualities which have increased in season .
So IMMUNITY Mantra is Avoid – WET,SOUR, COLD, HEAVY TO DIGEST
To sum up, nature provides different things in different seasons to maintain health.Like in summer season heat increases alot so nature provide us with all watery, citrous, sweet, juicy fruits to maintain health. And the same nature doesn’t give any fruits in rainy season.
So , we should maintain health by eating seasonal fruits and vegetables and following HRITUCHARYTA.
The RAINY SEASON hritucharya ( called as VARSHA HRITUCHARYA) can be coined in today’s terms as “IMMUNITY BOOSTERS OF RAINY SEASON”)
- Use – HOT, DRY, SPICY, OIL, LIGHT TO DIGEST
- Avoid – WET, SOUR, COLD, HEAVY TO DIGEST.
LIFE IS CHANGE…AND NATURE MAINTAINS ITSELF BY ACCEPTING THIS CHANGE
So let us also accept HRITUCHARYA and enjoy HEALTHY RAINY SEASON.
Stay healthy, Stay happy, Stay blessed.
