Dear Group,

 

Sai Ram. We are allowing the message given below with a caveat that such advice

can be taken as useful but is not 'prescriptive' in the sense that the

statements have not been backed up by any 'modern scientific research'

 

Homeopathy also has claims that swine flu can be prevented and cured.

 

We wish our members good health.

Ayurveda can counter swine flu, says Sri Ravi ShankarUrging people not to panic,

Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living said , " India has a wealth of

knowledge from Ayurveda to counter swine flu " .

 

Elaborating on this, Dr. Manikantan and Dr. Nisha Manikantan, senior ayurvedic

doctors at Sri Sri Ayurveda centre said, " Swine flu [ Images ] invades the body

because of a breakdown in immunity. And Ayurveda offers simple & effective

remedies to boost immunity & build resistance. Tea made from Laxmi Taru leaves

(botanical name: Simarouba), Tulsi, Amla and Amrut (Giloy) acts as an immunity

enhancer. Alternatively & additionally, Ginger and Turmeric (haldi) powder mixed

with either lime juice or honey can also be taken twice a day. "

 

" To counter air-borne swine flu viruses, Sambarani dhoop (loban stems) should be

burnt in the house twice a day. Sambarani is a very potent atmospheric

sterilser " , the doctors added.

 

He said, " In addition, our mind also plays an important role in our immunity.

Whenever we panic and have fear, our immunity level goes down. Practices like

pranayama and meditation play a vital role in reducing panic / fear and keeping

ourselves calm. Independent studies conducted at the All India Institute of

Medical Sciences, New Delhi [ Images ] and National Institute of Mental Health

and Neuro Sciences, Bengaluru [ Images ] have empirically proved that practices

such as pranayama and meditation boosts immunity at least three-fold. If we can

integrate these practices in our daily lives along with the simple Ayurvedic

remedies, we can effectively counter swine flu " .
