Ayurveda believes that the human body consists of Saptadhatus (seven tissues) Rasa (tissue fluids), Meda (fat and connective tissue), Rakta (blood), Asthi (bones), Majja (marrow), Mamsa (muscle), and Shukra (semen) and three Malas (waste products) of the body, viz. Purisha (faeces), Mutra (urine) and Sweda (sweat).28-Feb-2016
The idea of observing International Yoga Day was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014. Recognizing the universal appeal and holistic nature of yoga, Modi suggested that a dedicated day be established to highlight its significance and promote its practice worldwide. Subsequently, on December 11th, 2014, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared June 21st as International Yoga Day. The inaugural celebration took place on June 21, 2015.
International Yoga Day, celebrated on June 21st every year, is a global event that promotes the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of practicing yoga. This day aims to raise awareness about the numerous advantages of incorporating yoga into one’s daily life and to encourage people around the world to embrace this ancient practice.
INTRODUCTION TO ASHTANGA YOGA
In Sanskrit "Ashta + anga" is ashtanga. "Ashta" means Eight and "Anga" is limbs so it means Eight Limb path, Ashtanga yoga is based on Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali. The asanas, Pranayamas or the dharana which we have studied earlier or the yam and niyam are based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Hence, we will acquaint ourselves with the fundamentals as stated by Patanjali first.
HISTORY OF ASHTANGA YOGA
Yoga has its roots about 5000 years BC as described in Vedic Philosophy and Tantras. Patanjali , great sage composed this path into a Darshan(Philosophy) in his Book Patanjal Yoga Sutra. In which he has formulated Yoga as a Eight Limbs or Eight Fold path.
EIGHT LIMBS OF ASHTANGA YOGA
A stable and comfortable posture which helps attain mental equilibrium.
Extension and control of breath.
A mental preparation to increase the power of mind.
Concentration of mind on one object and its field.
With drawing mind from all external objects and Focusing it on one point and meditating on it.
State of Super bliss, joy and merging individual consciousness in to universal consciousness. Union between Jivatman and Paramatman. Union of Shiva and Shakti in Sahasrar Chakra (the top of the head). Realizing the Bramhan (pure consciousness) or Realization of God is the ultimate achievement of Human Birth.
Virechana is one of these five cleansing processes of Panchakarma. Also known as the purgation process, the Virechana treatment focuses on the torso region of our body. Virechana helps our body eliminate toxic doshas with laxative oils and drugs. Virechana is used to treat diseases arising out of pitta doshas, like diabetes, chronic skin disease, migraine, and colitis.
Like any other Ayurvedic treatment, the Virechana treatment begins only after a disease is accurately determined. Read till the end to know everything about Vierchana in Panchakarma.
Virechana treatment is broadly classified into the following two types:
Snigdha means 'oil'. As evident from the name, castor oil is used during this treatment. The castor oil is used all by itself or with Haritaki fruit powder. Snigdha Virechana helps reduce ailments associated with both Pitta and Vatta doshas.
This treatment is of great help when Kapha dosha, along with Pitta dosha, is diagnosed. During Rooksha Virechana, practitioners use a medicine extracted from the Trivrit herb.
Growing stress and rapidly changing lifestyle bring dosha imbalances in our bodies. This imbalance leads to diseases growing in the body. One must get rid of these toxins or doshas for a healthy and fruitful life. Ayurveda practitioners recommend a Panchakarma treatment to eliminate these toxins.
Virechana karma is one of the five cleansing techniques of Panchkarma. The other four therapies are- Vamana, Vasti, Rakta Mokshana and Nasya. These treatments help balance doshas in your body.
While detoxifying your body, Virechana helps build up immunity and improve metabolism. In addition, people with several skin problems can opt for Virechana treatment for clean blood circulation that nourishes the skin.
Virechana Panchakarma treatment focuses on cleansing the intestines, liver and gall bladder. These are prime Pitta-dominated organs of the body. Virechana karma eliminates harmful metabolic wastes like toxic bile residues, helping to cure various conditions in the gastrointestinal tract.
Virechana is an important Ayurvedic treatment for people suffering from the following:
In this Panchakarma cleansing process, excess toxins are eliminated through the rectum. Before practitioners start with any Panchakarma treatments, a Purvakarma treatment (initial treatment) is done. This initial process helps your body buck up for 'Pradhankarma' or main treatment. The procedure of Virechana Panchakarma follows a similar ritual as well.
The Virechana procedure begins with a week-long Purvakarma therapy. In this initial stage, patients need to undergo Vamana or vomiting process. They have to follow a specific diet regime or Samsarjana. Practitioners use medicated ghee or oil on patients to induce vomit and sweat. Purvakarma helps to analyse the digestive capacity of a patient.
It is beneficial for patients to sleep well the night before the Pradhankarma.
As Purvakarma ends, your body will be prepared for the main therapy. Before the therapy begins, patients undergo a check-up to confirm their readiness. If these results say that the previous night's food is still undigested, he/she has to fast before Virechana begins. Usually, Virechana therapy begins early in the morning.
Ayurvedic practitioners induce Virechana by administration of drugs based on the disease. A Triphala prepared from Haritaki, Amlaki and Vibhitaki is fed to patients during Virechana therapy. Herbs like Trivrit, Jayapala, Avipathi Churna, and Aragwadha are also used during the Virechana procedure. After almost two hours of consumption of these drugs, the effect sets in.
Herbs like Trivrit are given to patients suffering from hard bowel movements. However, patients with soft intestines are given milk to induce purgation. Conditions like jaundice, anaemia, skin disease and trauma receive mild treatment of oleation and Snehana.
Before the purgation process begins, patients must drink lukewarm water to let the process go smoothly.
This process is also called samasarjanakarma. In this last step of Virechena Panchakarma, patients follow a strict diet plan for 3-7days. Practitioners monitor patients' bowel movements throughout the therapy.
As Virechana therapy ends, the patient has to lie in a room inaccessible to the wind. After that, the Ayurveda practitioner will ask them to avoid the following things for a day after the Virechana treatment ends.
If performed correctly, Virechana will not induce signs of diarrhoea in the patient. Instead of feeling weak and dehydrated, patients will feel lighter and energetic.
Individuals who have undergone the Virechana treatment can face the following side effects if the treatment is not done properly:
Virechana Panchakarma is a gift of Ayurveda to humanity. It helps in improving your metabolism without the use of any harmful chemicals or pills. Eliminating all forms of toxic doshas, Virechana treatment clears your blood and uproots the disease. You must maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the prescribed diet plan for its effects to last.
Anyone from 18 to 88 years of age can opt for Virechana therapy. However, a person should avoid a Panchakarma treatment if these conditions exist:
Definition - What does Basti mean? Basti is a Hatha yoga cleansing technique that targets the lower abdomen, especially the colon and lower intestines. It is one of the six techniques that comprise shatkarma (also called shatkriya), the yogic body cleansing system.27-Jul-2017
Vaman dhauti helps to increase the efficiency of the abdominal muscle. As we consume large amount of water it stretches the stomach muscles and the gastric folds (mucous membrane folds in stomach) become straight and stretched. It helps to remove excess mucus and acid secretion
A study reported that shalabhasana provides stability to the spine and lengthens the upper back and arm. This asana targets the spine more intensely than forward-bends. Therefore, practising shalabhasana may correct back pain and strengthen the lower back, pelvic organs, hip joints, legs, and arms.08-Jun-2023
