WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR ULCER AND CERVICAL PROBLEM?

ULCER SOLUTIONS

PEPTIC ULCER IS A CORROSIVE SORE OCCURRING AT THE LOWER END OF THE OESOPHAGUS, IS THE STOMACH WALL, OR IN THE UPPER PART OF THE DUODENUM, JUST BEYOND THE PYLORIC VALVE.

MEDICAL SCIENCE RECOGNIZES TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF PEPTIC ULCER, DEPENDING ON THE SITE AT WHICH THEY HAVE DEVELOPED.

GASTRIC ULCER (IN THE WALL OF THE STOMACH)
DUODENAL ULCER, WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS AND PATERNS OF INCIDENCE.

GASTRIC ULCER

THE MAJOR SYMPTOMS OF GASTRIC ULCER ARE GNAWING MIDSTERNAL PAIN AGGRAVATED BY FOOD, TENDERNESS AT THE PIT OF THE STOMACH, VOMITTING AND HAEMORRHAGE (INTERNAL BLEEDING), THERE IS USUALLY AN ASSOCIATED LOSS OF APPETITE AND WEIGHT. THE CONDITION DEVELOPS AFTER FREQUENT OR LONG-STANDING BOUTS OF LESS SEVERE GASTRIC INFLAMMATION (GASTRITIS). THE PAIN AND THE CONDITON ARE AGGRAVATED BY A RICH, SPICY DIET, ALCOHOL AND SMOKING, WHILE TEMPORARY RELIEF IS OBTAINED FROM MILK, BLAND PREPARATIONS AND BY FASTING.

SUCH PEOPLE OFTEN AGGRACATE THEIR CONDITION BY INDULGING IN EXCESSIVE SMOKING AND /OR DRINKING IN ORDER TO "CALM DOWN AND RELAX". BOTH THESE HABITS ARE GASTRIC IRRITANTS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, AND SERVE ONLY TO FURTHER IRRITATE THE ULCER.

CAUSE OF ULCER

MEDICAL SCIENCE AND YOGA ARE IN ACCORDANCE IN RECOGNIZING THAT PEPTIC ULCER IS A PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASE. EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE LINING OF THE STOMACH IS AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE RECORDER OF OUR EMOTIONAL STATES. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO BLANCH WHEN A FEARFUL OR THREATENING SITUATION ARISES AND TO BLUSH RED WHEN RAGE AND ANGER ARE EXPRESSED. PHYSIOLOGISTS NOW RECOGNIZE THAT EMOTIONAL TENSIONS AND PSYCHIC STRESS FACTORS, INCLUDING HIGH LEVELS OF FRUSTRATION, ARE RELAYED TO THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS AND GLANDS VIA THE SYMPATHETIC (SOLAR PLEXUS) AND PARASYMPATHETIC (VAGUS) NERVE PATHWAYS.

MECHANISM OF ULCER PAIN

THE WHOLE PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS OF ULCER PAIN CAN BE SUMMED UP BYTHE EXPRESSION "WHAT'S EATING YOU?, FOR SUFFERERS ARE LITERALLY EATING THEMSELVES UP BY TRANSFERRING UNRESOLVED MENTAL CONFLICTS, EMOTIONAL TENSIONSAND ENXIETIESINTO ADDICTIONS AND POOR EATING HABITS.

TREATMENT OF ULCER

DOCTORS WHO UTILIZE YOGA IN THEIR PRACTICE HAVE FOUND THAT A COMBINATION OF CONSERATIVE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT AND YOGIC PRACTICES IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY IN WHICH AN ULCER CAN HEAL. CRIPPLING ANXIETY PROBLEMS CAN BE EFFECTIVELY RESOLVED, ADDICTIONS OVERCOME AND A MORE BALANCED LIFESTYLE EVOLVED, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THE PRESSURE AND DEMANDS OF MODERN LIFE. THE ADDITION OF YOGIC PRACTICES TO CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL MANAGEMENT ENABLES THE ULCER SUFFERER TO IMPLEMENT SPECIFIC LIFESTYLE ALTERATIONS WHICH PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THE ULCER AND THE PROSPECT OF MAJOR SURGERY.

YOGIC MANAGEMENT OF ULCER

COMPLETE REST AND A CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS THE FIRST STEP IN ULCER THERAPY. THIS WILL ENABLE THE SUFFERER TO COMPLETELY FORGETABOUT THE TENSION OF WORK, RELATIONSHIPS, ETC. A MINIMUM OF ONE MONTH IS USUALLY NECESSARY, AND AN ASHRAM ENVIRONMENT IS IDEAL.

ASANA : SIMPLE RELAXING ASANAS CAN BE INTRODUCED AFTER TWO WEEKS, WHEN INITIAL HEALING HAS OCCURED AND PAIN HAS BEEN RELIEVED. THESE MUST BE PERFORMED INA NON-COMPETITIVE, ENJOYABLE WAY, WITH EMPHASIS ON RELAXATION AND AWARENESS. PAWANMUKTASANA PART 1 AND 2 SHOULD BE PRACTICED DAILY FOR TWO WEEKS, FOLLOWED BY SURYA NAMASKARA TO CAPACITY IN THE SECOND TWO WEEKS. SHASHANKASANA AND SHAVASANA ARE RECOMMENDED.
PRANAYAMA : BHRAMARI AND NADI SHODHANA WILL INDUCE RELAXATION, IF PRACTICED DAILY AND WITHOUT ANY STRAIN.
SHATKARMA : NETI AND LAGHOO SHANKHAPRAKSHALANA CAN BE INTRODUCED AFTER SOME TIME, BUT KUNJAL IS CONTRAINDICATED IN ALL ULCER CASES BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF DISTURBING THE HEALING ULCER. ANY PATIENT WITH A HISTORY OF DISTURBING THE HEALING ULCER. ANY PATIENT WITH A HISTORY OF VOMITING BLOOD OR PASSING BLOOD WITH THE STOOL SHOULD NOT BE PRESCRIBED KUNJAL KRIYA UNLESS UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.
RELAXATION : DAILY PRACTICE OF YOGA NIDRA, WHICH INDUCES A STATE OF MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL RELAXATION, IS MOST IMPORTANT IN THE RESOLUTION OF ANXIETIES AND INNER CONFLICTS.
KARMA YOGA : PERFORMANCE OF SOME SIMPLE TASK INA NON-COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT, E.G. CARPENTARY OR GARDENING FOR A FEWHOURS, IS AN EXCELLENT PRESCRIPTION FOR A FORMERLY TENSE DESK WORKER. KARMA YOGA BRINGS MENTAL RELEASE, RELAXATION AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION.
DIET : INITIALLY A DIET CONSISTING OF MILK AND NON-ACIDIC FRUIT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PROMOTE HEALING. ALTERNATIVELY, A LIGHT DIET OF VEGETABLE BROTH, KHICHARI, MILK AND BLAND FRUITS IS ACCEPTABLE. AT ALL COSTS, SPICY AND HEAVY FOODS, SMOKING AND ALCOHOL SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS

CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS IS THE NAME GIVEN TO LONG-TERM STIFFENING AND DEGENERATION AFFECTING THE SPINAL COLUMN IN THE NECK. IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY PAIN AND MUSCULAR SPASM IN THE BACK OF THE NECK AND SHOULDERS. TENSION HEADACHE IS ALSO COMMONLY ASSOCIATED. THE PAIN MAY RADIATE INTO THE SHOULDERS, ARMS AND FOREARMS AND BE ACCOMPANIED BY SENSATIONS OF PINS AND NEEDLES OR TINGLING IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA. MOVEMENT OF THE NECK IS RESTRICTED, AND MUSCULAR WEAKNESS AND EVEN WASTING OF MUSCLES IN THE ARMS, GIDDINESS AND RINGING IN THE EARS ARE NOT UNCOMMON.

THE CAUSE

OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE VERTEBRAL BONES OF THE NECK MAY BE PRECIPATED BY A PREVIOUS INJURY. THE NECK IS THE MOST DELICATE PART OF THE SPINAL COLUMN AND IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE. EVEN A JERT DUE TO A MOVING VEHICLE STOPPING SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SUCH AN UNJURY IN THE NECK.

DAMAGE CAN ALSO OCCUR AS A GRADUAL DEGENERATIVE PROCESS, DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR OF THE JOINTS, BONES, MUSCLES AND LIGAMENTS OF THE NECK. HENCE IT IS MORE COMMON AFTER MIDDLE-AGE AND ESPECIALLY IN MIDDLE-AGED SEDENTARY WORKERS WHO SIT WITH THEIR HEADS HELD RIGIDLY FORWARD THE WHOLE DAY.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

MODERN MEDICINE MAINLY OFFERS PHYSIOTHERAPY AS A REMEDY FOR THIS MALADY, IN ADDITION TO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANALGESIC (PAIN RELIEVING) DRUGS. INTERVERTEBRAL INJECTIONS OF CORTICOSTEROIDS INTO THE PAINFUL AREAS OFTEN PROVIDE EFFECTIVE PAIN RELIEF BY DAMPING DOWN INFLAMMATION IN THE SHORTERM, BUT MANY RECEIVING A SERIES OF THE INJECTIONS, WITH THE PAIN BECOMING ULTIMATELY WORSE.

YOGIC MANAGEMENT

THE FOLLOWING PRACTICE PROGRAM IS PRESCRIBED FOR SUFFERERS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS. IT SHOULD BE ADOPTED SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY UNDER SKILLED GUIDANCE, AND THEN PRACTISED EACH MORNING.

THE FOLLOWING PRACTICE PROGRAM IS PRESCRIBED FOR SUFFERERS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS.

ASANA : PAWANMUKTASANA PART 1, ESPECIALLY POORNA TITALI ASANA (FULL BUTTERFLY), SKANDHA CHAKRA (SHOLDER SOCKET ROTATION) AND GREEVA SANCHALANA (NECK MOVEMENT), THE NECK ROTATION EXERCISES SHOULD BE PERFORMED CAREFULLY . VAJRASANA, SHASHANKASANA, SHASHANK BHUJANGASANA, BHADRASANA, SHAVASANA.
SITTING STILL IN PADMASANA, OR OTHER MEDITATIVE POSTURES, WITH THE SPINAL CORD STRAIGHT AND THE HEAD SLIGHTLY BACK, FOR INCREASING LENGTHS OF TIME IS VERY HELPFUL. AVOID ALL OTHER ASANA, ESPECIALLY INVERTED ASANA, UNTIL MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN THE CONDITION OCCURS.
PRANAYAMA : NADI SHODHANA STAGES 1 AND 2.
MEDITATION : KAYA STHAIRYAM IS MOST EFFECTIVE IN SPINAL DISEASES AND DEFORMITIES. THE HEAD SHOULD BE HELD ERECT BUT WITH THE SLIGHTEST TILT BACKWARD, THE SPINE UPRIGHT AND SHOULDERS RELAXED. AN EXPERIENCED YOGA TEACHER WILL DEMONSTRATE THE POSITION.
RELAXATION : YOGA NIDRA IN SHAVASANA. A NECK SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF A SOFT PILLOW MAY BE NECESSARY.
SHATKARMA : NETI KRIYA DAILY.
DIET : AS FOR ARTHRITIS.
ADDITIONAL AID : A CERVICAL COLLAR IS OFFER HELPFUL.

ASTHMA

ASTHMA IS A COMMON AND DISTRESSING CONDITION WHICH IS CHARACTERISED BY RECURRENT ATTACKS OF SPASM OF THE TUBES OF THE LUNGS RESULTING IN WHEEZING, COUGHING AND A SENSE OF SUFFOCATION. THE LARGER AIRWAYS (BRONCHI) CONSTRICT AND BECOME PLUGGED WITH EXCESSIVE, THICK MUCOUS SECRETIONS PRODUCED BY THE CELLS LINING THE AIRWAYS.

AN ATTACK OF ASTHMA CAN BE A FEARFUL AND EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH THE SUFFER AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. THE SYMPTOMS OF AN IMPENDING ATTACK USUALLY BEGIN SEVERAL HOURS PRIOR TO ITS ACTUAL ONSET AND ARE, AS A RULE, CONSTANT AND WELL REGONIZED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PATIENT. THEY ARE COMMONLY PRECIPITATED BY BOUTS OF EMOTIONAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL TENSION, BY EXERCISE, BY EXERCISE, BY DIETARY INDISCRETION, OR BY EXPLOSURE TO AIRBORNE ALLERGENS.

THE CHILD MAY EITHER BECOME IRRITABLE AND CRY MORE READILY, OR BECOME QUIET, SLUGGISH INTROVERTED. SOMETIMES SKIN RASHES MAY APPEAR, AND LIPS AND FACE BECOME SWOLLEN, INDICATING THAT THE LEVELS OF EMOTIONAL OR IMMUNE STRESS ARE MOUNTING TO A LEVEL WHERE CRISIS IS IMMINENT.

LONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS

THE COMPLICATIONSOF ASTHMA INCREASE WITH THE DURATION OF THE DISEASE. THE BODY BECOMES WEAK AND DEBILITATED. ASTHMATIC CHILDREN COMMONLY LAG BEHIND THEIR PEERS IN BODY WEIGHT AND HEIGHT. IN ADDITION, DEFECTS OF POSTURE, WITH PERMANENT EXPANSION OF THE RIBCAGE AND HUNCHING OF THE SHOULDERS, COMMONLY ACCOMPANY LONG-STANDING ASTHMA.

THE CAUSE OF ASTHMA

THE CAUSE OF ASTHMA IS MULTIFACTORIAL. PSYCHOLOGICAL, HEREDITARY AND ALLERGIC FACTORS HAVE ALL BEEN IMPLICATED AND ARE FOUND TO OVERLAP VARIABLY FROM ONE PATIENT TO ANOTHER.

ASTHMA CAN ALSO ARISE DURING CHANGING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, AND INCIDENCE OF ATTACKS IS HIGHER IN THE WINTER AND RAINY SEASON IN THE TROPICS. BOUTS OF SNEEZING, HAY FEVER, WHEEZY BRONCHITIS' OR EOSINOPHILIA MAY PROGRESS TOWARDS OVERT ASTHMA OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. EOSINOPHILIA IS REALLY A STAGE OF PREASTHMA AND SHOWS THAT THE BODY'S SELF-DEFENCE SYSTEM IS BEING AROUSED AGAINST AN IRRITANT, SOME PSYCHIC THREAT OR FEAR-INDUCING FACTOR, OR INCREASED EXPOSURE OR SOME PHYSICAL ALLERGEN, LIKE INDUSTRIAL SMOKE OR DIESEL FUMES.

UNHEALTHY DIET AND LIFESTYLE, ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN THE GENESIS AS ASTHMA. A LOW RESIDUE, MUCUS PRODUCING DIET CONSISTING OF EXCESSIVE REFINED CARBOHYDRATE PRODUCTS LIKE BREAD AND CAKES, GHEE, OILY PREPARATIONS, MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS, WHILE DEFICIENT IN FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND UNREFINED GRAINS, IS COMMONLY INCRIMINATED. BESIDES PRODUCING MUCUS, THIS DIET IS EXCESSIVELY TAXING ON THE ASTHMATIC'S PRE-WEAKENED DIGESTIVE PROCESSESS.

YOGIC MANAGEMENT OF ASTHMA

THE CONSISTENT AND REGULAR DAILY PRACTICE IS COMPLETE AND LASTING DRUG FREE REGULAR POSSIBLE. IN THIS WAY, CURE OF ASTHMA IN THE SHORTEST TIME, WITH THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SUFFERING WILL BE ATTAINED.

FASTING

IF A FULL FAST CANNOT BE UNDERTAKEN, IT IS A GOOD HABIT TO MISS THE EVENING MEAL AND TAKE ONLY HOT LEMON JUICE AND HONEY, HERBAL TEA (LEMON GRASS, TULSI, GINGER, BLACK PEPPER), OR A SPECIAL PREPARATIONOF KARHA CAN BE PREPARED BY BOILING TOGETHER HEATING SPICES (GINGER, BLACK PEPPER, CINNOMON, CARDOMON, TULSI AND VANFASA), THIS MIXTURE IS PREPARED BY BOILING AWAY HALF THE LIQUID ON A SIMMERING FIRE. HONEY CAB THEN BE ADDED JUST BEFORE DRINKING.

URINARY TRACT PROBLEMS

IN WOMEN

STRESS

THE INVOLUNTARY LEAKAGE OF URINE FROM THE LADDER, INCONTINIENCE, MAY PROVE TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY WOMEN, ESPECIALLY AFTER MULTIPLE CHILDBIRTHS WHEN THE BODY HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED AND STRENGTHENED CORRECTLY, AND ALSO IN OLD AGE. IN THE PROCESS OF DELIVERY, THE BLADDER AND URETHRA ARE UNDER STRESS AND ARE STRETCHED SEVERELY.

AS A RESULT, SOME DEGREE OF URINARY CONTINENCE IS LOST, WHICH MAY NOT BE FULLY REGAINED IN THE MONTHS AFTER CHILDBIRTH WHEN THE PELVIC ORGANS REAMIN SLACK AND STRETCHED. URINE IS COMMONLY LOST WHILE SNEEZING OR COUGHING, OR WHEN THE PATIENT IS UNDULY ANXIOUS. THIS IS KNOWN AS STRESS INCONTINENCE.

WOMEN WHO PRACTICE YOGASANAS AFTER GIVIN BIRTH EASILY REGAIN URINARY CONTROL AND PELVIC FUNCTION, FAR MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN WOMEN WHO MAKE NO CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO PROMOTE HEALING AND TIGHTENING MORE SHAPELY FIGURES, AND THE RAVAGES CAUSED BY CHILDBIRTH CAN BE LARGELY AVOIDED.

HOWEVER, WOMEN WHO ARE ANXIOUS TO TAKE UP A YOGA PROGRAM TO RESTORE THEIR PELIC ORGANS AND PRESERVE THEIR OVERALL FIGURE AFTER CHILDBIRTH ARE ADVISED TO AVOID ALL ASANAS IN THE IMMEDIATE POST-DELIVERY PERIOD, UNLESS UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE. THIS RESTRICTION SHOULD CONTINUE FOR FORTY DAYS AFTER DELIVERY, SO AS TO ENSURE THAT INITIAL HEALING IS COMPLETE AND TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF BLEEDING AFTER DELIVERY (POST PARTUM HAEMORRHAGE). GENTLE PRANAYAMA AND MEDITATION CAN, OF COURSE, CONTINUE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DELIVERY.

FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

THOSE WITH A TENDENCY TOWARDS BLADDER DISTURBANCE OR A HISTORY OF URINARY INFLAMMATION ARE ADVISED TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO CONTINUALLY IIRIGATE THE URINARY PASSAGES.
IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THEY URINATE SOON AFTER THE SEXUAL ACT, WHEN INTRODUCTION OF CONTAMINATING AGENTS INTO AN ALREADY WEAKENED SYSTEM IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR.
FORTUNATELY, YOGA PROVIDES A MEANS OF ARRESTING THE PROCESS OF DEGENERATION BEFORE END-STAGE RENAL FAILURE DEVELOPS AND LIFE THREATENED.
