  • Boost your immunity, warding of an array of diseases and physical symptoms. 
  • Helps you deal with the likes of hemorrhoids, ulcers, digestion problems.

The second ingredient is Chromium.Chromium is yet another wonder-aid with its energy-increasing and weight-loss influencing capabilities, which not only decrease your overall lipid levels,  but is also invaluable in improving your bodies composition!Chromium when included in your daily diet will have the following benefits:

  • Helps Insulin health
  • Increases energy
  • Lowers lipid levels

  • Improves body composition

Zinc and Chromium, although remarkable by themselves, are capable of extraordinary results when used in conjunction with a few other such natural nutritional aids. 

Ayurvedic Medicated Enema Therapy
Written by Dr.Gowthaman Krishnamoorthy
Monday, 19 July 2010

    
Detoxification therapies are usually recommended in Ayurveda for protection of health and management of specific disorders. Of all the detox therapies, enema or medicated enema therapy is the most emphasized one due to its role in purification and rejuvenation of the body. Some Ayurveda experts claim that without vasti–enema the purification therapy is not complete because it controls the functional element (Vata dosha) of the human body. 

Ayurveda medicated enema therapy is classified based on anatomy, medicine, number and action.

I. Classification based on anatomy:
•    Through vagina into the uterus
•    Through rectum to large intestines
•    Urethral-vesicle enema
•    Enema for wound/abscess

II. Classification based on medicine:
•    Decoction enema
•    Oil enema

III. Classification based on action:
•    Purification enema- for expelling the doshas forcibly
•    Oleation enema - for oleation effect
•    Scrapping enema  - for scraping the fats amd vitiated Kapha in the body
•    Rejuvenative enema - for rejuvenation
•    Detoxification enema - for expelling unwanted doshas
•    Pacifying enema - for pacifying the doshas
•    Strengthening enema  - for complexion and color or strength
•    Aphrodisiac enema - for increasing the quality and quantity of semen

IV. Classification based on number:
•    Karma vasti - 30 in numbers
•    Kala vasti - 16 in numbers
•    Yoga vasti - 8 in numbers

Honey and oil are the basic elements used for decoction enema. The common formula is as follows:

  • Honey - 48 ml
  • Oil - 96 ml
  • Decoction - 400 ml
  • Paste of herbs - 12 gm


Oil Enema
Oil enema can be given daily and does not cause any complications if retained in the body. Oily drugs are predominantly used  in the combination of medicines and it is known as Sneha Vasti. According to the dosage, these are termed as:

  • Sneha vasti dosage – 150 ml
  • Anuvasana vasti – 75 ml

Pre-Treatment Procedures For Enema Therapy

The type and dose of enema is carefully selected depending on the vitiated doshas, medicine, land, season, acceptability, digestive capacity, psychic state, age and strength.

  • Vasti Karma

Induction of Medicine:

Enema is administered after completion of local and general oleos and sudation therapies.

  • Local warming of the stomach and the back is done.
  • Enema is prepared and bladder/rubber bag/plastic cover is filled.
  • The patient is made to lie down on left side with left lower extremity straight and right lower extremity flexed on knee and hip joint.
  • The patient is asked to take a deep breath during induction of medicines.
  • The therapist should avoid trembling of hands as it may cause injury to the anal region.
  • Variable speed of induction of enema is not advisable as it may cause acute pain. The enema has to be administered at a constant speed to avoid obstruction of vata dosha in the intestines.
  • Enema tube should be pulled out immediately after administering the medicines.
  • The patient is made to lie in the same position for the next 30 minutes.
  • Afterwards, the patient eliminates the enema when the urge to eliminate comes through.


Duration of the elimination of enema is very important - 48 minutes is the maximum time mentioned in Ayurveda. If it does not happen during this period, the person may die or it may cause severe pain with complications such as distension of the stomach, cutting pain in the large intestines, cardiac pain and fever. In such cases, strong purgatives should be administered to eliminate the unwanted materials in the stomach.

 

It was deceptively simple and at first I didn’t think it could possibly work, but by the third day I was walking like I did when I was twenty ( I am 52 now). I found profound result from each of the different treatments which is a real testimony to the efficacy of this ancient method. I wish you all the best and thank you from my heart for the healing you have brought to me. By the way, the herbs are fabulous.
Ana Sachs, USA

The oils used were qualitatively superior to any I have used or experienced. My age is 48. I have chronic low grade to severe back pain daily since 1976 (due to repeated auto accidents and other injures). This pain was completely removed within 3 days of treatment (Abhyangam, Shirodara and Swedana). Therapists administering treatments were excellent – very responsive, extremely supportive in mediating between Doctor and Patient, and very knowledgeable both generally and specifically with regard to the field, the vast field of Ayurveda and its Pancha Karma Applications.
Janani PhD, Yoga Therapist

The treatments were excellent. Shirodhara was definitely my favorite. I was profoundly relaxed and many people commented on how healthy I looked after Pancha Karma. Thank you all for a wonderful PK experience.
Lillian Stecher, USA

I experienced improvement in blood circulation, weight loss and improvement in skin condition.
Cary Steiner, USA

I have been suffering from severe back pain for more than four years, till I visited Kerala Ayurvedic Clinic, Ellora Park about a year ago. After a course of Kativasti treatment for 15 days here, I am very much relaxed and the pain has not returned. I would even say that I am able to stand and walk comfortably because of this treatment.
Mrs. Salini Agrawal Vadodora, Gujrat, INDIA

I came to Kerala Ayurvedic Centre, Ellora Park, Baroda with back-ache and blood pressure. My blood pressure is perfectly normal. My back pain is almost cured. I have stopped my allopathic medicine which I was using for one and half years for my Blood Pressure, as it has come to normal range.
Dr. Jagmohan Singh Suptd. Geologist, RGL, ONGC, Vadodora, Gujrat, INDIA

Myself, an athlet, based in Baroda could not participate in the last year’s State Athletic selection trials due to Spondylitis and also pain in the angle of my right leg. I took shelter at the Kerala Ayurvedic Clinic and have gone through some Kizhi and massages treatment from Kottakkal and, as such I was fit enough to participate and selected to the State Team. I am extremely thankful to the clinic and its management.

Ms. Amrita Gruesser, Silver Spring, MD 20905,

When I came here for treatment, I had a block in my left brain. Not only that, I was dragging my left leg and I was not able to use my left hand. After taking treatments for weeks of Abhyangm, Pizhichil, Dhara, Nasyam and Navarakkizhi, I found my problems disappeared and felt that I became normal with the Kerala special treatments. I liked these treatments. Although, I had visited a lot of hospitals and taken different treatments, I could not get any relief. Kerala treatments found to be a blessing to me.

I really enjoyed the massage! I am staying in Mumbai working with an NGO called Pratham and came here to Baroda for a visit. This massage has relieved some of my tension I have been carrying with me from busy Mumbai city life. Thank you very much! I absolutely loved my massage! I feel wonderful now.

I am 52 years working lady. I was suffering from acute pain in my right shoulder (frozen shoulder). I had undergone many treatments, but got no any effect. Ultimately, I came across Kerala Ayurvedic Center, Ellora Park. Here the doctors are well experienced. They take personal interest. The staff is so cooperative. The doctors and staff are so confident. After a course of 4 weeks treatment, my pain of frozen shoulder has gone off now. I would like to recommend to other patients to come here for their problems so that they also can be definitely benefited.
Ms. Dhan Nadirsha Surti, Timaliwad, Surat

My father took treatment for acute Arthritis from here. It was found very effective and cured 60 to 70% of the problem after 6 weeks of various Kerala special treatments. Even after 9 to 10 months after the treatment.
Mital Bhadaniya, Baroda

I am staying in Baroda for the past 7 years and suffered with diabetes and migraine (headache). I took treatment at the Kerala Ayurvedic centre and it helped me especially the body massage and steam. I feel so energized and refreshed.
Mrs. Anila Kuriakose, Baroda.

I am a teacher in Gujarat Public School. I heard about the treatment from a friend of mine who was cured of back pain. She insisted that I should take treatment from this clinic, she assured me that I shall be cured of my knee problem. At first, I was a bit hesitant, as my husband is an Allopathic doctor, so I had to convince him that I should try. After 7 days treatment I am 80% cured both physically and mentally. I shall recommend this treatment to my friends and relatives and insist my husband to come for treatment of sinus from which he is suffering since long.
Ms. Jasmine Pradhan, Baroda

I was suffering from skin allergy. After 15 days of treatment, I found that there was overall improvement.
Ms. S. K. Iyer, Vadodara

I came here with a lot of stress and cold probably, sinus, which I was suffering since four years. I came here and after a course of three days, I stopped having headache. This is also a kind of relaxing. Thanks to all, the staff is very courteous and polite. The doctors are also very noble, thorough and professional.
Ms. Pinky Parikh Elyria OH 44035, USA

I felt very relaxed after the treatment. I came here for a treatment of a sore heel after taking a detoxification program for skin cancer. I hope this enhances my immune system. The staff was very friendly here.
Hannah Johansen Big Dky. MT 59716, USA

I came here for the treatment of Psoriasis which I had been suffering for more than 5 years. I have tried before various treatments including allopathy, homeopathy etc. With these treatments, I used to get only partial and temporary relief and the problem used to surface after some time. With Kerala ayurvdeic treatments like, whole body massage with Kottakkal medicated oils, Shirodhara, Pizhichil etc I have got complete relief from my psoriasis problem. I am making this statement after a year after my treatment.
Ms. Jigisha Purohit, Baroda

I’ve been through the www.ayuryog.com and found that the site is very well organized and full of very useful and important information in connection with Ayurveda and Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to be able to navigate easily in a website, and this site has made suitable arrangements so that moving around the site is easy. Also I found the site very attractive, full of interesting color photographs that educate by themselves. It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, and that holds true of the pictures that have been used to accentuate the site. The detailed explanations given on the site regarding the various treatments available are very useful and in fact integral to the understanding of potential patients of the clinic. It’s really noteworthy that these detailed explanations appear on the site so that there will be a full understanding of the entire systems of treatment available. Since I myself have visited the clinic many times and have successfully undergone treatment for several minor aliments there, I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of the clinic to the readers of the site. It is with pleasure that I recommend the readers of this to take full advantage of the services provided by the clinic both via the website and at the clinic itself! With concern for your health and well being.
Basu Ghosh Das President, ISKCON Hare Krishna Mandir, Baroda

'Ayurveda Healthcare' as, " The Kerala Ayurvedic Centre, run by V. Srikant Nair, has been involved in the whole gamut of treatment in Ayurveda. The Center has a panel of doctors and its technicians have been trained in Kerala special therapies".
Bikram Ghosh, Indian Express, Vadodara

"Srikant Nair set up the Kerala Ayurvedic Centre in Ellora Park when he found that Ayurveda in the south of India has retained its classical form while here it has diluted with the conventional medicine. The Centre makes no compromise on the original texts. According to him most of their patients are chronic sufferers who turn to this mode after having exhausted other methods. Traditional therapy consists of Dhara, Shirovasti and Pizhichil etc".
Mrs. Gita Chauhan, Times of India, Ahmedabad
