Adolescent Mental Health

ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH: CONCERNS AND SOLUTIONS

Adolescence is a transforming phase from the

identity of a kid to an adult, which depends on several personal, familial, and social conflicts and challenges. As adolescence is the age of curiosity and is the phase where various physical, emotional, and social developments can pave the path to behaviour formation happen. Developing and maintaining positive emotional and social habits is a must for mental wellbeing. The peak age of onset of which mental illness occurs in adolescence and early adulthood. The peak age of onset of physical illness occurs much later in the fifth to sixth decade of life. Clinically it means that younger patients with the physical illness are relatively more likely to have co-existing psychological difficulties in comparison to older patients. Unfortunately, the available data suggests that the mental health of teenagers is something that is poorly addressed in the present day. Mental health conditions account for 16% of the global burden of disease and injury in people aged 10-19 years. Half of all mental health conditions start at 14 years of age, but most cases are undetected and untreated. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in 15-19-year-olds.

Several studies conducted at the community level in India reported the prevalence of child and adolescent mental disorders varying from 1.06% to 5.84% in rural areas, 0.8% to 29.4% in urban areas. National Mental Health Survey 2016 reported that the prevalence of mental disorders is 7.3% among children aged 13–17 years and it is similar in both genders. The prevalence among urban children is nearly double (13.5%) compared to rural children (6.9%). Mental Health Determinants Adolescence is the crucial age in the development of essential life skills such as problem-solving, decision making, maintaining interpersonal relations, communication skills, coping mechanisms, and managing emotions. The major factors which can determine mental health outcomes are: Personal factors: Lack of education and awareness about the adolescent phase of life can cause conflict in understanding the physical and psychological changes during puberty. The desire for greater autonomy and stigma can also contribute to ado-

Adolescent Mental Health lescent stress. Familial factors: Non-cordial familial environment including harsh parenting, parental conflicts, family problems due to substance use among parents, lack of family support and sibling rivalry can affect the mental health of an adolescent.

outbursts are also common. Globally, depression is the fourth leading cause of illness and disability among adolescents aged 15-19 years and fifteenth for those aged 10-14 years. Anxiety is the ninth leading cause for adolescents aged 15-19 years and sixth for those aged 10-14 years.

Social Factors: Children and adolescents are vulnerable to sexual violence and exploitation. Witnessing suicide or other traumatic events, peer pressure, bullying and body shaming, increased access and use of technology, forced marriages, lack of access to quality support and services, and lack of social connectedness are the major social factors that can determine the mental health of the teens.

Suicide and Self-harm An estimated 62 000 adolescents died in 2016 as a result of self-harm. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in older adolescents (15-19 years). Risk factors for suicide are multifaceted, including harmful use of alcohol, abuse in childhood, stigma against help-seeking, barriers to accessing care, and access to means. Communication through digital media about suicidal behavior is an emerging concern for this age group. Substance abuse Risk-taking behavior is relatively high during adolescence. It results as a coping strategy to come out of low self-esteem or by peer group influence. Such attempts end up in developing dependence on various psychoactive substances. Worldwide, the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking among adolescents aged 15-19 years was 13.6% in 2016, with males most at risk. The use of tobacco and cannabis are additional concerns. Cannabis is the most widely used drug among young people with about 4.7% in an age group of 15-16 years using it at least once in 2018.

Common Mental health problems among teens Emotional Disorders Emotional disorders commonly emerge during adolescence. In addition to depression or anxiety, adolescents with emotional disorders can also experience excessive irritability, frustration, or anger. Rapid unexpected changes in mood and anger

Apart from the above major problems, there is a number of warning signs that must be closely monitored in order to identity/understand the mental health problems of the children. • Children who have lost interest in things that they used to enjoy • Children who have frequent tantrums or are intensely irritable much of the time • Often talk about fears or worries • Have low energy • Sleep too much or too little, or seem sleepy throughout the day • Struggle academically or have experienced a recent decline in grades • Are spending more and more time alone, and The Ancient Ayurveda | Sep-Oct 2021 | Issue 9

Ayurveda and Adolescent mental health issues According to Ayurveda the end part of balyavastha and the early half of youvana/ madhyama avastha constitute the adolescent phase. As all the bodily tissues are constantly under transformation and process of development during this period, this phase is called aparipakwa dhatu avastha. Proper nourishment, growth, and development of the body (sarira poshana) can be ensured only with healthy dietary and lifestyle patterns. Such healthy practices help in developing optimum satwa bala (resilience). A person with avara satwa (poor resilience) is more prone to develop psychological disturbances and psychiatric disorders. Ayurveda primarily aims to prevent various physical and psychological illnesses. Specific regimes of the day and according to various seasons have been explained to maintain physical health. In order to

address the mental health sadvritta and achara rasayana; i.e., codes of conduct pertaining to the physical, psychological, social, moral, and personal domain of a person is advised to follow. Following those principles helps in developing an optimal status of satwa bala (mental strength) thereby playing a key role in achieving the basic life skills during the adolescent phase. Prevention and Management Preventive strategies include early identification of vulnerable populations (with the help of parents and teachers) and strengthening their capacity to regulate emotions, enhance alternatives to risk-taking behaviors, build resilience for difficult situations and adversities, and promote supportive social environments and social networks. Healthy dietary and lifestyle practices along with following the principles codes of conduct from childhood help in the development of good physical and mental health. Daily practice of Yoga helps to build a positive mental state thereby helping in controlling the emotional disturbances. Skill development strategies, various therapies (like CBT, etc) to address the specific mental health problems, pharmacological interventions are required according to the severity of the conditions.

Ayurvedic Management of Stroke

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF STROKE In 2013, approximately 6.9 million people had an ischemic stroke, and 3.4 million people had a hemorrhagic stroke. In 2015, there were about 42.4 million people who had previously had a stroke and were still alive. Between 1990 and 2010 the number of strokes that occurred each year decreased by approximately 10% in the developed world and increased by 10% in the developing world. In 2015, stroke was the second most frequent cause of death after coronary artery disease, accounting for 6.3 million deaths (11% of the total). In the 1970s, World Health Organization defined stroke as a “neurological deficit of cerebrovascular cause that persists beyond 24 hours or is interrupted by death within 24 hours”. This definition was supposed to reflect the reversibility of tissue damage and was devised for the purpose, with the time frame of 24 hours being chosen arbitrarily. The 24-hour limit divides stroke from transient ischemic attack, which is a related syndrome of

32 | Issue 9 | Sep-Oct 2021 | The Ancient Ayurveda

stroke symptoms that resolve completely within 24 hours. With the availability of treatments that can reduce stroke severity when given early, many now prefer alternative terminologies, such as brain attack and acute ischemic cerebrovascular syndrome (modeled after a heart attack and acute coronary syndrome, respectively). A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. There are two main types of stroke, ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Signs and symptoms of a stroke often appear soon after the stroke has occurred and it includes the inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, dizziness, or loss of vision to one side. If symptoms last less than one or two hours, the stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke may also be associated with a severe headache. The symptoms of a stroke can be permanent.

Ayurvedic Management of Stroke Long-term complications may include pneumonia and loss of bladder control. Classification A. Ischemic In an ischemic stroke, the blood supply to part of the brain is decreased, leading to dysfunction of the brain tissue in that area. There are four reasons why this might happen: • Thrombosis (obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot forming locally) • Embolism (obstruction due to an embolus from elsewhere in the body), • Systemic hypoperfusion (general decrease in blood supply, e.g., in shock) • Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. A stroke without an obvious explanation is termed cryptogenic (of unknown origin); this constitutes 30–40% of all ischemic strokes. The stroke episode is classified as total anterior circulation infarct (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI), lacunar infarct (LACI) or posterior circulation infarct (POCI). B. Haemorrhagic There are two main types of hemorrhagic stroke: A) Intracerebral hemorrhage, which is basically bleeding within the brain itself (when an artery in the brain bursts, flooding the surrounding tissue with blood). B) Subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is basically bleeding that occurs outside of the brain tissue but still within the skull. There are many types and degrees of paralysis. The condition can be: • Partial, when you still have some control of your muscles (sometimes called paresis). • Complete, when you can’t move your muscles at all. • Permanent, when muscle control never comes back. • Temporary, when some or all muscle control

• •

returns. Flaccid, when the muscles get flabby and shrink. Spastic, when the muscles are tight and hard and jerk around oddly (spasm).

Paralysis can occur in any part of the body and is either localized when it affects only one part of the body or generalized when it affects a wider area of the body. Localized paralysis often affects areas such as the face, hands, feet, or vocal cords. Generalized paralysis is broken down based on how much of the body is paralyzed: • Monoplegia affects one limb only, such as one arm or one leg. • Hemiplegia affects one side of the body, such as the leg and arm of the same side of the body. • Diplegia affects the same area on both sides of the body, such as both arms and both sides of the face. • Paraplegia affects both legs and sometimes parts of the trunk. • Quadriplegia affects both arms and both legs and sometimes the entire area from the neck down. The function of the heart, lungs and other organs might also be affected. Signs and Symptoms Stroke symptoms typically start suddenly, over seconds to minutes, and in most cases do not progress further. The symptoms depend on the area of the brain affected. The more extensive the area of the brain affected the more functions that are likely to be lost. Some forms of stroke can cause additional symptoms. For example, in intracranial hemorrhage, the affected area may compress other structures. Most forms of stroke are not associated with a headache, apart from subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral venous thrombosis, and occasionally intracerebral hemorrhage. THE FIRST STEP to Recognize the Signs and Symptoms for Stroke Paralysis and if any of these are seen in the person then immediately shift to the nearest hospital, quick action and perhaps save a life.

Sudden unresponsiveness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body Confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech. Trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Difficulty in walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination. Severe headache with no known cause. The good news is that you can stop the brain damage caused by a stroke if you respond quickly to treatment. The cautionary signs of stroke, and to get help right away if you see them.

Acting F.A.S.T. is Key for Stroke It can help stroke patients get treatments they desperately need. It’s important to act quickly and get medical help as stroke treatments that work best are available only if the stroke is recognized and diagnosed within 3 hours of the first symptoms.

Follow simple test: F—Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A—Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S—Speech: Ask the person simple phrases to repeat. Is the speech slurred or strange? T—Time: If you see any of these signs, take him to the nearest hospital Note the time when any symptoms first appear. This information helps health care providers to determine the best treatment for each person. Subtypes If the area of the brain affected includes one of

34 | Issue 9 | Sep-Oct 2021 | The Ancient Ayurveda

the three prominent central nervous system pathways—the spinothalamic tract, corticospinal tract, and the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway, symptoms may include: • hemiplegia and muscle weakness of the face • numbness • reduction in sensory or vibratory sensation • initial flaccidity (reduced muscle tone), replaced by spasticity (increased muscle tone), excessive reflexes, and obligatory synergies. In most cases, the symptoms affect only one side of the body (unilateral). Depending on the part of the brain affected, the defect in the brain is usually on the opposite side of the body. A brainstem stroke affecting the brainstem and brain, therefore, can produce symptoms relating to deficits in these cranial nerves. • altered smell, taste, hearing, or vision (total or partial) • drooping of the eyelid (ptosis) and weakness of ocular muscles • decreased reflexes: gag, swallow, pupil reactivity to light • decreased sensation and muscle weakness of the face • balance problems and nystagmus • altered breathing and heart rate • weakness in sternocleidomastoid muscle with an inability to turn head to one side • weakness in the tongue (inability to stick out the tongue or move it from side to side) If the cerebral cortex is involved, the CNS pathways can again be affected, but also can produce the following symptoms: • aphasia (difficulty with verbal expression, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing) • dysarthria (motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury) • apraxia (altered voluntary movements) • visual field defect • memory deficits (involvement of temporal lobe) • hemineglect (involvement of parietal lobe)

Ayurvedic Management of Stroke • •

disorganized thinking, confusion, hypersexual gestures (with involvement of frontal lobe) lack of insight of his or her, usually stroke-related, disability

If the cerebellum is involved, ataxia might be present, and this includes: • altered walking gait • altered movement coordination • vertigo and or disequilibrium Associated symptoms Loss of consciousness, headache, and vomiting usually occur more often in hemorrhagic stroke than in thrombosis because of the increased intracranial pressure from the leaking blood compressing the brain. If symptoms are maximal at onset, the cause is more likely to be a subarachnoid hemorrhage or an embolic stroke. Complications While a few forms of paralysis let the patient continue to lead a normal life, there are a few that can cause severe complications. The dependence on crutches, wheelchairs, full-time nursing, and a lot of other factors can increase significantly. The most common complications are chest pains, high blood pressure, and depression. Sex life and fertility are affected differently in men and women. Ayurveda Management of Paralysis The terms Pakshaghata, Paksha Vadha, and Ekanga Vata have been used to describe Paralysis in Ayurveda. Ayurveda has mentioned facial paralysis as a separate disease entity called “Ardita vata”. The treatment guidelines for these conditions have been widely enumerated in the classical texts of Ayurveda. Various treatment modalities are available in all medical streams. Ayurveda has proved or stands to be one of the most effective treatment methodologies for the best possible recovery in Paralysis or stroke conditions. So, immediately after getting discharged from an acute medical care center or hospital, it is always

highly recommendable to take Ayurveda treatment. Stroke Management in Ayurveda Panchakarma (Cleansing therapies) for Paralysis patients include: 1. Snehana (Oleation) treatment like massage, Kayaseka, Shirodhara, Shirobasti, Pichu, etc with medicated oils followed by different modalities of Medicated fomentation for 7 – 21 days. Massage with symptom-specific medicated oils followed by medicated fomentation helps to increase circulation also strengthens the muscles and nerves. 2. Virechana (Purgation) – To increase the metabolism, relieve constipation, strengthen the gut, also help to improve the functioning of the nerves in the affected area. 3. Basti (medicated enema) in the form of Matra Basti, Anuvasana Basti, Nirooha Basti for the period of 8 – 32 days. Medicated enema helps in nourishing, strengthening, and stabilizing the overall body functioning and this treatment takes a major role in healing the stroke patient if they approach within 3 months of the paralytic attack. 4. Nasya karma for 7 – 9 days – this therapy helps to strengthen the muscles, nerves, and circulation above the shoulder. Ayurveda medicine for stroke All therapeutic measures may be started after crossing the acute phase of attack in the form of herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Eranda, Rasona, Rasna, etc. Medicines like Mahavatavidwamsana, Balarista, Dashmoola Arista, Sarasawathaarista, Bhihat vata Chintamani, Ekangavira rasa, Sacharadi kasahya, Gandarwahastadi qwatha etc can be used.

Postpartum Care

POSTPARTUM CARE SUTIKA PARICHARYA In the ayurvedic concept, the Postpartum period is called suitika kala and the care during this period is called sutika Paricharya. Sutika Kala is explained as one and a half month after childbirth (that is 6 weeks in modern science) or up to the next mensuration.

ostpartum period is also known as the Puerperium. This period begins immediately after childbirth up to 6 weeks and is a period in which the mother’s anatomical and physiological changes during pregnancy return to a non-pregnant state. This period is a critical phase in the lives of a mother and newborn baby. Most maternal and Infant deaths occur during this time. Yet, these are the most neglected periods for the provision of quality care. In the immediate week following delivery woman needs extra care including partner and family as it is a physically and mentally demanding situation. In the ayurvedic concept, the Postpartum period is called suitika kala and the care during this period is called sutika Paricharya. Sutika Kala is explained as one and a half month after childbirth (that is 6 weeks in modern science) or up to the next mensuration. But according to Acharya Kashyap, who gives more importance to children and babies, the sutika Kala is up to six months after childbirth and expulsion of the placenta

Sutika avastha is said to be an immune-suppressed state due to garbhavriddhi, where there is Shitilata in sarva shareera dhatus, different types of pains and bleeding which leads to kshaya in dhatu, agni (digestive fire) and bala (strength or immunity) and there is an alteration in physiological and psychological state. Up to the next menstruation, the lady is called sutika because mensuration is seen only after dhathu Paripurnata (replenishment of dhatusdhatus), healthy state of body and accumulation of blood in the Yoni Pradesh. Replenishment of dhatus is affected when there is excessive blood loss and anaemia or due to certain other causes. Only after physical and psychological health is retained then the women restart her menstruation. If the endometrium is diseased (due to acute Postpartum infection) the blood will not get accumulated, and mensuration will not restart. SUTIKAGARA In every classic we get descriptions about Sutikagara (accouchement ward), probably these were constructed for every parturient woman and dismantled afterwards. It should be constructed beThe Ancient Ayurveda | Sep-Oct 2021 | Issue 9

Postpartum Care fore the ninth month of pregnancy in a land which is free from stones, gravel, pieces of earthen pots and has an excellent appearance.

brahmins and offer them washed rice, flowers and nandimuka fruit and reverential salutations. Then she should sip the water and take blessings for welfare. Now the pregnant women should enter the labour ward by keeping the right foot first and during that time Brahmins should recite holy words. She should stay there and wait for the onset of labour.

The house should be well smeared with cow dung or lime covered/roofed (with wooden frame) curtained or have well-fitted doors. With the advice of the architect specific places to keep fire, water, motor with Pestle along with separate bathroom latrine and kitchen should be constructed in such a way that the place becomes comfortable in all seasons. The articles to be stored in Sutikagara is also explained. This includes ghee, oil, honey, different types of salt, medicinal drugs such as kushta, vidanga, Nagara,pipali, langali, lashuna, hingu etc. Maireya, Sura, asavas etc. beverages, two pieces of stones, two pestles two Mortars, a donkey, a bull, two needles made of gold and silver, sharp instruments with iron( to be used in labour ), two beds made of same wood for Sutigakara. Woods of tinduka and ingudi should be stored for lighting fire in labour ward. Multiparous women who are good-hearted, continuously busy in services, possessing strong character, experience in conducting labour which basically affectionate in nature, free from grief, having good endurance and capable of making a pregnant women happy should be present in the Sutikagara. Along with them, Brahmanas possessing knowledge in Atharva Veda should be present there. Apart from these all, necessary arrangements told by Brahmanas, and old aged lady should also be stored there.

The description of Sutikagara gives us the idea of importance given for pregnancy childbirth and Postpartum care in ancient times through Ayurveda. It throws light on hygiene, preoperative measures etc.

After the beginning of the 9th month on some auspicious day when Chandra and grahas are in a beneficial position, then during maitra period pacifying oblations should be offered. At first, cows, then brahmins along with the fire and water should be made to enter the ward, the pregnant women should offer grass, water, honey and parched paddy to the cows, and should wash the hand and feet of

Sutika Paricharya Objectives of sutika paricharya are pathya Aahara vihara for sutika, stanya poshan and shishupalana. The principles of sutika paricharya are Agni deepana, Aama pachana, dhaatu poshana and dathu vardhana. In general, all classes have advised massage, oral administration of fats with medicinal drugs which are improving digestion and decoction for 3 to 7 days after delivery. From the 7th or 12th day medicated meat soup is advised. After ingesting this, her abdomen should be massaged and wrapped properly with a big clean cloth. Wrapping produces compression of the abdomen and thus prevent hollow space, so the vayu does not get vitiated. After digestion of ghee, liquid gruel made with rice and medicated with pipali etc. drugs mixed with ghee should be given. A hot water bath is advised during the morning and evening. Suthika Paricharya in Practice • After delivery gudodaka and pipali choorna can be given. Gudodaka is vatanulomana (normalized vata) and shulaprashamana. (Pain reliving) • After that yusha(mudga yusha) added with 1teaspoon of panchakola choorna is given. • When patient feels hunger, satmya food can be taken.

Non vegetarian food or soup can be given after 7 to 10 days. Yavagu can also be given, panchakola siddha yavagu(improves digestion), Vidarigandhadi yavagu (nourishes) etc can be given. Shatavari ksheerapaka yavagu (regulates the synthesis and secretion of breast milk). Mamsarasa or meat soup helps in the regeneration of the endometrium which starts on the seventh day. Kadali rasayanam, godhuma halwa, Kheer (Payasa) with dry fruits, kushmanda avaleha with milk, pumpkins etc. are very good for sutika. Ashwagandha, amlaki, shatavari, guduchi, shatapushpa, rasona, mudga, masha, chanaka etc are good when dhatukshaya is more.

Bahyaprayoga in Sutika • Sarvanga abhyanga with Bala thailam. It helps in the involution of uterus, cervix, vagina, pelvic floor and pelvic fascia and is a relief for pains. Immediately after delivery abhyanga is done to yoni, lower abdomen and back and after that tight bandaging is done. • Parisheka with dashmool kwath or ushnodaka pariksheka is done after bala thaila abhyanga. • Swedana (foementation) is contraindicated in

sutika. Dhupana with atasi, sarshapa, lashuna, bhurja patra etc can be used. Vatahara basti can also be given.

Episiotomy Wound Care 1. Wash with Sukhoshana (Lukewarm) panchavalkala kwatha 2. Dhupana 3. Lepana with haridra and Kumari (aloevera). 4. Pichu with any ropana ghritha(ghee prepared with drugs of healing property). Sutika rogas are also described in Ayurveda samhitas, so if sutika is having those rogas its treatment is also added with general sutika paricharya. Apart from that managing postpartum depression was also found to be very relevant nowadays. In earlier times, new mother and baby were protected and cared for by all which made the mother to feel good and wholesome. Living in a separate room surrounding with mantras, and religious rituals make the baby have healthy growth and prevents from infection. Post-partum is an entirely new stage of a mother’s life. So, we together can make her life ease without any miseries.

Finding The Little Lights of Life

Finding The Little Lights of Life He laid flat on his back, with his gaze fixed on the star-studded black velvet blanket that spread as a ceiling over the lands and oceans. Those tiny twinkling diamonds on the sky had always excited him, right from his toddlerhood. He remembered his mother telling that as a baby whenever he threw the worst of his tantrums, his Dad would grab him and rush out of the house to show his beloved piece of treasure the splendid night sky, and as a wonder, every time without fail, the baby would get lost into, maybe his starry dreams in the arms of his father, at times even without having his portion of baby food. Though his eyes were fixed on the hunter, the Orion - a constellation, his vision travelled miles beyond those twinkling wonders. Lost in his thoughts, unaware of the surroundings, his

body and mind kind of enjoyed the soothing cold of the month of November, on the terrace of his house, at his little town in Southern India. The array of thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the voice of his mother, she called out loudly… “Saarang….O !!! Saarang….” as if she had been calling out for a while now. That’s quite possible too because this had been the scene on almost all evenings since his childhood, as he used to be carried away so much in his thoughts that he couldn’t even hear when he was called from downstairs and finally his elder sister, Sariga would climb up and jerk her dreamy brother out of his dreams. But now his sister was married and lived in London. She with her husband Neel worked in the administrative block of the Buckingham Palace. So, cutting down the charms of his solitude, he rushed for the stairs as he didn’t want his mother, who

Finding The Little Lights of Life was complaining of knee joint pains these days, to take the stairs to bring him downstairs. As he reached for the kitchen, he saw his parents sitting on the dining table, waiting for him for the dinner. He smiled to them and took his chair beside his Dad. “Staring at the stars all the time, now you are into the diamond business, I wish this twinkle of mine, shines like the Moon in his business, of which he is so passionate about.” His mother said, by joining her hands together, as a prayer to the almighty. “But he has always liked the stars much more than the moon, you remember when he was a little boy, he used to be so upset on the full moon nights and frowned at the moon by saying that, why couldn’t the moon switch off his light so that his favourite stars could come back.” His father continued by patting his son’s back. On hearing this, his mother said to his father, “don’t worry I would find a beautiful moon-like daughter-inlaw for us, then I will show you how this ‘star guy’ becomes a ‘moon guy’.” The family laughed over the comment and Saarang was happy for the innocence of his parents. But for him, he had not thought of marriage yet. But his mother’s recent regular talks of marriage had started disturbing him from somewhere deep within. As all three settled down, his Mom’s phone rang, she longed to pick up her smartphone on the other end of the table murmuring, “it may be Neel and Sariga, yes ! it’s them”, Saarang’s sister called home, every evening this time, but today it was rather a special day. As his Mom swiped the call on, on the other end both of them started singing “Happy birthday to you……. Happy birthday to you….. Happy birthday dear Sagu…., that’s how Sariga called her little brother. Then they shared some goodies of both sides. It was 14th of November, Saarang’s birthday. This family thought was too

connected to each other, but their concept of celebrations was limited to lighting a lamp before their deity of worship. And their mother made sure, that the birthday person visited the nearby Lord Shiva temple. Hence, today Saarang also had gone to the temple in the morning and then as he rushed to his office, mother handed him a casserole with the regular ‘Mom made’ lunch. So, in the evening as the family came together, all blessed the star of the day and the dining table had a special bowl of love called the ‘Paayasam’, a sweet dish made of rice, milk, sugar and lots of dry fruits, as a part of the celebration. The family had dinner together and both the father and the son helped Mom to wind up the kitchen. This had been the way each night since Sariga had flown to London, coz when alone in the kitchen at night, this mother misses her daughter badly and gets into the bed with a heavy heart and wet eyes, which their father thought, if continued may have an untoward effect on her health. And, when everything was done, they bid goodnight to each other and Saarang climbed the stairs with a jug of water to his room upstairs. As he entered his room, the huge picture on the wall welcomed him, the giggling friends of his, back at college. Coincidently, he recollected that the picture was taken on one of his birthdays when they had cut a cake over the grass bed at the Sapphire Jogger’s Park, which was their favourite hangout point. His besties Sidhu, Thomas and Rehan had almost lifted him off the ground in the pic and Sidhu’s twin sister Sitara and Rehan’s girlfriend Nisha pulled up on their toes, trying to smear the chocolate cream on his face. He smiled at the picture and laid down on his bed.

Finding The Little Lights of Life Those were the days at the Imperial Business School, this tall guy with thick, black, centre-parted, little wavy hair, slightly wheatish complexion with very deep, sharp eyes that curved beautifully when he sported that infectious smile of his, undoubtedly stroked the strings of the hearts of each girl on the campus. He was a piece of heart for his friends. And during the exam season, he would suddenly become their teacher. As he was a good orator and understood his subjects at the applied levels, which made it easy for him to convey the concepts to his friends during their peer study hours. The professor of accountancy wouldn’t stop boasting about this student of his, in the teacher’s chamber. He was the captain of the college basketball team. And no event in the campus was accomplished without the martial arts display by this ‘Kung Fu Master’. The crisp sways of his body and the power loaded moves startled the audience every time he performed. In short, he was the star of the campus, but it seemed that he was busy searching for something among the celestial stars every night, back at home. Years passed by, now he’s into the diamond business, he’s a trader basically and in the last 4-5 years he has started to be known as a successful entrepreneur among the business community. But the last 10 months had been quite struggling, the contraction in the global economy, some mining issues in the dark continent and other trading crises had impacted the flow of the business. And moreover after Saarang’s return from Botswana, a country in the far south of the African continent, 6 months back, he seemed a little lost, depressed, and unhappy with himself. He realized it himself only a couple of weeks back when he unintentionally retaliated to his

mother in quite a rude manner, which wasn’t his natural way when she had come up with a few photographs of some of the girls handed over by the matrimony agent. Though his sight got tangled on one of the pictures for a couple of seconds, but suddenly an overwhelming thread of thought from some deep corner of his mind lead him into the untimely burst. This changed behaviour of his thought was not evident to others but he could detect a kind of anxiety and restlessness in himself which was encroaching him from all over and even resulting in sleepless nights for weeks. Something surely disturbed him day after day. He found it difficult for himself to control his own feelings. And definitely, the information and broadcasting industry that flourishes on emotional magnetism by selling news regarding rocketing cases of depression and suicides in the Indian society burned him from within. So, after sleepless nights of pondering and self-analysis, he finally took the boldest of the decisions to meet a psychiatrist. A few days passed by, but his mind was still not at peace. Although the decision was taken, but some kind of discomfort and an unknown fear or rather a bigger doubt, whether a psychiatrist alone could fix all his problems, pulled him back from fixing an appointment with the psychiatrist.

Beauty Tips

Ayurvedic Beauty Tips Dr AISWARYA K. M.D. (Ayu.)

Ass. Prof. Dept. of Agadtantra, State Model Government Ayurved College, Gandhinagar, Gujarat

dolescents are the conjugators of childhood and adulthood. Many times the symbol of adolescence appears as a little pop-up in their sweet face. Alas!!! That loud cry has trembled almost every home during this precious phase of age. Teenage is in which they try to know their own body and its beauty. And this bump of face so-called pimples just makes their mind crazy out. Apart from major systemic reasons, pimples are very common during this age due to the variation of hormones. Most of them are easily curable with some home remedies. Let us check on the major cosmetic problems of adulthood and can do a step walk through Ayurveda. 1. Pimples – to remove pimples, it will be good to apply rakta Chandana powder along with honey evenly to the face. (Patch test on hands should be done prior to facial application). It can be done daily for better results. 2. Freckles & black moles – it will be so awkward to see small brownish or black spots appearing on the skin particularly the face. An easy remedy is available to clear off freckles. Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder with 1-2 teaspoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to form a paste. Apply this evenly in the face wherever freckles and black moles are seen. Leave this for 20 minutes. And wash off. Repeat this twice or thrice a week. 3. Natural face scrub – face scrubbing is nowadays very common and is necessary to remove blackheads, whiteheads, and excess dirt in the face. It will be very effective if we are doing the same with fewer chemicals and homely made. Mix 1 teaspoon of coarsely powdered green gram and mix it with 1 teaspoon of besan and add honey and milk in equal quantity and make into a paste. Apply this evenly in the face and allow it to dry for 20 minutes. After drying scrub slightly and then wash with lukewarm water. Do moisturize accordingly. 4. Melasma (Facial Hyperpigmentation) – During menopause and for some in early menarche, it’s very common to have black patches on the face particularly around the sun-exposed part. Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is made into a fine powder and made as a paste along with milk and apply evenly to the face. Do it daily for clear bright skin. 5. Facial hair growth – It is very common to see facial hairs in teenagers after menarche in girls. To remove extra growth of facial hairs, we can apply 1 tsp of turmeric powder with 2 tablespoons of gram flour (besan) and make it into a paste with 2 tablespoons of rosewater and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Let it dry completely and rub it off with your fingers to get rid of excess facial hair. It can be repeated 3-4 times a week.

“HARITAKI”

Haritaki or Terminalia chebula Retz. And Willd. is known as Yellow Myrobalan or Chebulic Myrobalan or Harad in Hindi. It has been given a prime place in the Ayurvedic system of medicine since ancient times which is a native to South Asia mainly from India. Harithaki is extensively used in Unani, Tibetan, Homeopathic systems of medicine apart from Ayurveda. The main pharmacological activities observed are its Antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, Anti-carcinogenic activity, Anti-mutagenic, Hepato-protective activity, Cardio-protective activity, Anti-diabetic, Antibacterial activity, Antifungal activity, Antiviral activity, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-allergic activity, Anti-caries activity, Wound healing activity, Purgative property, Immune modulatory activity etc. The drug is externally used in wound healing, inflammation of mucous membrane of the mouth, fungal infections and internally as rejuvenate, laxative and as purgative.

Chewing Harithaki fruit increases digestive power whereas if it is made into a paste and eaten, it clears and cleanses the bowel.

Harithaki if eaten after food, it eliminates all toxic effects. If it is taken along with salt, it balances kapha whereas if taken with sugar, it balances pitta and if taken with ghee, it balances vata disorders.

1. During the winter season I am having dry skin, so can you please suggest some Ayurveda home remedies - Rashmi Kohli (Mumbai) For skin protection, internal as well as external therapies play a role much better. As the query was for a home remedy, the application of Nalikera taila (Coconut oil) regularly over the skin will be beneficial as it can moisturize the skin. Drink at least 8 glasses of water and hydrate. Apart from that eladi kera, nalpamaradi kera, etc can also be used. Internally according to prakruti any medicated ghee can be used with a prescription from an unauthorized doctor. 2. Regularly I have Dandruff in my hair, particularly in the winter season and severe itching will also be there. What’s its permanent solution in Ayurveda? - Krupa Vyas (Gujarat) Hygiene is very important criteria like your bedcovers, bed sheets, and combs each day. Cover your head to prevent pollution while going outside.

Never go outside with damp hairs. Regularly wash your hair with rice water. You can use Methi seeds powdered and soaked in water and this paste can be applied to your head, after 20 minutes it can be washed off. As this is winter season it will be better to use Rasnadi Churna after head wash. If needed do consult the physician for internal medicine. 3. I’m having continuous sneezing and nose irritation in the early morning and sinusitis is also there for one year. Kindly advise a solution for this... - Anmol Bhatt (Rajasthan) For problems of sinus, treatments should be taken for some time. Apply rasnadi churna in the early morning in murdha area. Steaming with Tulsi leaves along with a pinch of Rasnadi churna can also be done twice daily. Avoid dust and related allergies particularly pollen grains of flowers cloth dust etc... Doing pranayam is also good. At the hospital level, we can manage with nasya like panchakarma treatment. Consult an Ayurvedic expert and do the treatment.
