    A Safe and Holistic Approach with Ayurveda

    In our modern world, particularly in highly developed countries, it is easy to lose touch with the

    healing power within each one of us. From the moment a child is born she is literally injectedwith the belief that her immune system is not capable of doing its job properly without some

    artificial means likevaccinationsand other drugs. Furthermore, nowadays the treatment forcommon childhood ailments consists mainly of allopathic drugs such as antibiotics. Of course,there may be times when such drugs are necessary, but all too often they could be substituted by

    a safer and more natural approach. Ayurveda has much to offer in the way of gentle and effective

    health care and disease prevention for children throughdiet and lifestyle,as well as the use of

    medicinalherbsand spices. For thousands of years herbs have been successfully used foraddressing a wide variety of childhood disorders. Many herbs can strengthen the immune system

    and support the health of children of all ages in a safe and holistic manner.

    One of the most important factors to consider for the health of a newborn is the health of the

    parents. For this reason, Ayurveda recommends that both parents undergopanchakarmabefore

    they wish to conceive a child. This helps to prevent their vikruti(current state of health) frombeing passed on to the baby. Once conception is achieved, the mother should be relaxed during

    pregnancy, reading spiritual books, chanting mantras, eating a doshic diet, receiving regular

    abhyanga,doing gentle and restorativeyogasana,and meditating.

    From conception onward, Ayurveda places great emphasis on post partum care for the mother to

    balance vataand promote health and vitality in her, as well as to ensure the healthy developmentof the fetus. After birth, both the newborn infant and the mother are to be cared for throughout

    the first forty days with the utmost attention. Traditionally, these duties consist of daily oil

    massage, bathing, and other herbal therapies. Even today in much of rural India and Nepal there

    is a wealth of wisdom on birthing and infants health care that lays in the hands of midwives and

    grandmothers, even though many restrictions have been placed upon them.

    Ayurvedic Herbs for Colic and Constipation

    Because food is our first and foremost form of nutrition, it should be considered our primary

    medicine. In Ayurveda many common fruits, vegetables, and culinary spices are used to helpwith a variety of childhood health complaints without the need for any other treatment. For

    instance, constipation in young children can be corrected by drinking a cup of warm milk before

    bedtime with one teaspoon ofgheeadded to it. Likewise, a good measure consists in including in

    the diet foods that have a natural laxative effect such as soaked raisins or dates, honey, bran,

    sesame seeds, mango, papaya, grapes, and fresh figs. Furthermore, encouraging proper eatinghabits and food combining when possible, sufficient water intake, high quality oils, and

    providing plenty of high fiber foods can be helpful in the prevention of constipation.

    In the case of infants, the mother can apply a small amount of castor oil to her nipple before

    breastfeeding. For babies with intestinal colic, mix equal parts of Cumin, Fennel, and Corianderpowder and add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this mixture to a cup of hot water, let it steep for 15 to 20

    minutes, then strain well. This tea can be given as needed to correct vatain the colon. The

    mother can also drink it to reduce the qualities of vatain her breast milk. In the case of infants, it

    is useful to administer the tea with a baby medicine dropper, available in most baby supply

    sections, and dilute it a little, if needed, to make it more palatable. There are a variety ofAyurvedic herbs and formulas that can be quite effective for constipation in toddlers and

    children, such as Triphala churna, Sat isabgol, Gandarva haritaki,orAvipattikara churna, but

    care should be taken to choose the one that is most appropriate for the overall condition andconstitution of the child. Other typical formulas used for colic and intestinal disorders areEladichurnaandHingwastak churna. It is good to keep in mind that a good dosage for children is

    about one third the normal adult dosage, and even less for infants. Allopathic laxatives and

    strong laxative herbs should be avoided.

    Treating Colds and Fever with Ayurveda

    Treating the common cold or flu in children with herbal and dietary guidelines is an effectivemeans of supporting and strengthening their immune system. Generally speaking, the common

    cold is often associated with the cold and damp qualities of kaphaand ama(toxins), which cause

    symptoms such as low appetite, nasal or chest congestion, malaise, and sometimes mild tomoderate fever. First and foremost, the child should rest and drink plenty of warm liquids to

    support the agni(digestive fire) and the elimination of ama. If their appetite is low, because of

    diminished agni, it is best not to force food upon them, as this could contribute to the formationof ama.

    Warm ginger tea is a good remedy to kindle agniand when combined with equal parts Yashtimadhu (Licorice root) and a little raw honey it helps liquefy and expectorate phlegm. Because of

    the possible link between honey and botulism in infants, only high quality, organic raw honey

    should be used. If there is chest congestion or restricted breathing, then warmMahanarayanor

    sesame oil, orgheewith a pinch of rock or black salt, can be massaged onto the chest followed

    by a eucalyptus steam inhalation. Tulsi(Holy basil) works wonders for soothing coughs,decongesting the lungs and sinuses, as well as lowering a fever by promoting sweating. Tulsitea

    can be prepared by adding1 teaspoon of Tulsipowder to 1 cup of hot water. This can also begiven before bedtime to break a fever when nothing else works. Other typical Ayurvedic

    formulas for the practitioner to consider in the treatment of common cold, flu, and upper

    respiratory infections are Sanjivani guti, Tribuvankirti ras, Sitopaladichurna, Talisadi churna,

    andLavangadi vati,

    Jwara(fever) is the body's natural way of burning ama. It is important not to suppress itwhenever possible, although fevers above 102 degrees should be lowered and kept within safe

    limits. A remarkable home remedy for lowering fever consists in rubbing fresh onion juice to the

    child's navel region while applying a cool cloth to the forehead to protect the brain. Also,pomegranate or fresh orange juice is nutritious and effective to control fever, but drinking toomuch can increase ama and orange juice may provokepittaif it is too sour and acidic, so it

    should be diluted if taken frequently. The compoundMahasudarshanis also very useful for high

    fevers. Because of its strong bitter taste, it is best given in tablet form, in doses of 250 to 500 mgwith warm water.

    Ayurvedic Herbs for Skin Problems

    Skin care for children is a topic worth mentioning. First, I'm sure every parent of an infant would

    like to know a simple trick for dealing with diaper rash. One of the best remedies for this is toadd 1 to 2 teaspoons ofKumari(Aloe vera) juice into the baby's drinking water. This helps to

    relieve excesspittain the body and can sooth the rash relatively fast. This works great as apreventative or along with topical treatment.Kumarijuice is also a good rasayanafor the entirebody and can be given daily in small doses throughout the early years of life to tonify the tissues

    and organs, aid digestion and elimination, as well as to enhance the health of the rasa andrakta

    dhatu,and twak, or the top layer of the skin.

    Rashes such as eczema and psoriasis are quite common amongst children, and all too often are

    treated with cortisone creams that merely suppress the symptoms. This approach can cause the

    problem to worsen over time. Ayurveda views such rashes as relating mainly to highpittaandamain the liver, plasma, and blood tissue. Althoughpittais the primary doshaconsidered in

    such conditions, the characteristics of the rash may vary depending on whether other doshasare

    present. If vatais involved there can be much dryness, scaling, and cracking, When kaphaispresent, then there may be more swelling and weeping. There is often an immunological and

    emotional component connected to skin conditions that should also be considered and addressed.

    The most basic treatment consists of dietary restrictions, which include avoiding excessive intake

    of salty, pungent, and sour tasting foods, acidic fruits, as well as deep fried, fermented, and hot

    spicy foods. Bitter herbs such asNeem, Manjista,Haridra(Turmeric), and Guduchihave anaffinity to the roots of rasaand rakta vaha srotas, the liver and spleen, and are commonly used

    for such ailments. Cooling nervines likeBrahmi(Gotu kola) as well asJatamansi, both of which

    also have alterative properties, are perfect for cooling and calming the mind, as well as clearing

    heat from the blood and liver. Traditional compounds such asKaishore guggulu, Tikta gritam,

    Maha manjistadi kwatha,andPanchnimba churnaare also useful, but treatment should alwaysconsider theprakruti, other secondary doshasinvolved, and reduce any aggravating factors.

    In my experience, local treatment with oils and creams will not cure the condition but can

    provide some relief of itching, scaling, redness, and painful cracking. Good oils for topical

    application areNeemleaf oil in a coconut base, Tikta gritam, Bakuchioil, and castor oil.

    It is worth noting that it can be almost impossible to convince children to take herbal formulas intea form, especially bitter herbs, so powdered herbs can be encapsulated in single O size vege

    capsules or taken in tablet form (which can be broken in small pieces to facilitate swallowing).

    Another possibility to mask the bitter taste of herbs is to mix them with a little fruit juice or a

    sweet substance such as maple syrup, which is alsopittapacifying. Some Ayurvedic herbalformulas can also be found in syrup form.

    Treating Parasites and Worms with Ayurveda

    Another health concern that is common in children is krimi(worms and parasite infestations).

    Symptoms include constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, anemia, anorexia,

  • 5/28/2018 Memory

    5/12

    increased appetite, pica (tendency to eat unusual or strange foods), and itching of the anus. The

    causes are many and include eating contaminated foods and drinks, or foods that are difficult to

    digest, poor eating habits, or contact with animal feces and uncleanliness, to name a few.Ayurveda views that krimiare born of excess doshaand ama, and that developing some simple

    healthy habits can help prevent such situations. A few good tips are to avoid eating excess

    sweets, fried foods, fast foods, uncooked grain flour such as cookie or bread dough, and rawjaggary. It is also important to have children wash their hands after touching any animals,including their own pets, and especially before eating.

    A simple household remedy for worms like thread, pin, and round worms, is to take 3 to 5 drops

    of fresh onion juice diluted in one teaspoon of water 3 times daily. Another good worm remedy

    consists of mixing equal parts ofNeemand Vidangathat can be easily administered in single "O"

    size capsules. Two capsules taken twice daily is a good dose for children. A general herbalcompound is made with equal partsNeem, Vidanga, Kutaja, and Shardunika. One or two single

    "O" size capsules of this formula can be taken twice daily before meals. Also, a pinch ofHing

    (Asafoetida) mixed with one to two teaspoons of rapadura (dehydrated organic sugar cane juice)

    or sucanat can be eaten half an hour before food.

    Some typical medicines used by Ayurvedic practitioners for parasitic conditions are

    Kutajarishta, Vidangarishta, Kutaja parpati, andKrimikuthar ras. Older kids (7 to 12 years old)

    can take 20 grams of rapadura or sucanat in the morning, followed after 10 minutes byAjwain

    (celery seeds) and salt (2 grams of celery seeds per one gram of salt) with warm water. This

    recipe eliminates all types of worms. It is important to note that because treatment of krimishould be continued for at least a month to prevent re-infestation, it is good to have the guidance

    of a skilled practitioner.

    Rejuvenating and Nourishing the Mind with Ayurveda

    Learning is a large part of being a child, so we should not forget about herbs that rejuvenate the

    mind. One of the most common rasayanaherbs for the brain is Shanka pushpi.Shanka pushpiisa popular tridoshicherb for promoting memory and intelligence, and is commonly prepared in a

    syrup form for this purpose. It is also used to treat depression, psychosis, and epilepsy. In the

    case of children diagnosed with ADD, it can be combined withBrahmi.

    Brahmi (Gotu kola or Bacopa, aka Herpestis monnieri), is also worth mentioning when it comesto the mind.Brahmimeans "cosmic consciousness." Its name is also associated with Saraswati,

    the goddess of wisdom, because it is one of the best nervine tonics for rejuvenating the mind. It

    is used for addressing a wide variety of mental and nervous disorders. Gotu kola is tri-doshic and

    Bacopa has a heating energy. Both herbs facilitate the balance of tarpaka kapha, sadhaka pitta,andprana vayu, the doshaspresent in the brain. They can be used alone or with other herbs suchasJatamansi, Shanka pushpi, Vacha, Ashwagandha,orJyotishmatifor improving memory.

    For speech impediments, these two herbs combine well with equal parts of Vacha(Calamus). A

    common formula used for treating speech disorders, as well as a wide variety of vatadisorders of

    the mind, nervous, and digestive system, is Saraswata churna, It contains herbs like

    Ashwagandha, Vacha, Shanka pushpi,Ajwan, Cumin, and Rock salt. It is safe for children and

  • 5/28/2018 Memory

    6/12

    its flavor is somewhat palatable too. Saraswata churnais a good example of the truly holistic

    approach that Ayurveda takes in compounding herbs to address the many qualities of a dosha

    and its possible and common effects on the entire system. It has herbs that have an affinity to allof the organs, dhatus, andsrotamsithat relate to vata dosha. Other typical Ayurvedic medicines

    to consider for rejuvenating the mind and the nervous system areBrahmi vati, Smriti sagar ras,

    Brahma rasayana, Ashwagandharishta, and Brahmi ghee.

    Important Yogic Remedies from Ancient Indian Scriptures:

    1. 29th chapter of Agnipuran contains a medicine, which grants longevity to a person. According to the

    text, consuming 240 mg to 500 mg of Brahmi powder with milk every morning is very beneficial. It also

    increases the memory power.

    2. Ayurvedic scriptures like Charaka and Sushruta say that consuming 3 gm of green vegetable soup

    (made form Brahmi) increases the memory power. Brahmi leaves are tasty just like the tamarind leaves.

    3. Bhav Prakash includes the importance of Shankhpushpi for good memory. Consuming 3 to 6 gm of

    Shankhpushpi powder with milk is extremely beneficial for increasing memory. It also plays an important

    role in improving the functioning of the brain and its overall development.

    4 .Beshajya Ratnavali is a famous Ayurvedic literature. According to this book, regular consumption of

    Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, almond, etc. strengthen the brain cells and provide coolness to the brain. They
