from then onwards my BP has gone up. Earlier to surgery it was little

high and it was under control and then I got operated. But now it is

very high even if I take medicine also like 190/110, 150/100

constantly. Also I after the surgery I am suffering with

hyperacidity.

 

 

 

HI Vanaja

 

Let your case be eye opener to many, who are tempted to hysterectomy

after suffering menorrhagia and/or endometriosis for a long time.

There are special formums on the net where ladies have discussed

heightened sufferings thereafter. Before we discuss your problem, a

little indtroduction to the issue would be appropriate.

 

" I have always been interested with Ayurveda for the sole reason that

it

dwells and tries to resolve the root cause than the symptom which

makes

a lot of sense.

 

Though allopathy does provide immediate cures I guess over the long

run

it would always help to switch over to Ayur/Homeo therapies. Limited

marketing and long durations for Ayurveda and Homeopathy probably

limit

the number of people walking this path. Would you think that

Vata/Pitta/Kapha, Heat/Cold is an analysis at a subtler level, a

level

that we probably are too rugged to be analysed/cured with due to

current

day habits of eating fatty foods, heavy muscle building, aggressive

thinking, stress etc and if the body system is to be turned mild

before

expecting any of the cures to work (effectively).

 

However I wonder at times if all health issues are related to a

person'

thinking pattern and hence the Vata/Pitta/Kapha doshas. Do you think

that changes to thinking process should be the ultimate cure or that

the

herbs releated to Ayurveda bring about the required change to the

mental

state/balance. I am actually trying to understand if it's just the

chemical composition of the herb that brings about the cure or if

it's

more than that. Please do let me know your comments, "

 

 

These are the querries from an ayurveda student cum practitioner in

west. Author thought it appropriate to bring the discussion to the

board, so that all would express their opinion and add to the

collective knowledge. Let us look at an excerpt from message#12770

 

" But can any sane person continue to insist that the mind, the

environment, and social circumstances do not directly influence our

physiology or, worse still, insist that a hierarchical reality above

the physical plane does not exist at all? "

 

Research can not reveal the width and depth of side effects of

surgeries. Colon and uterus are most important seats of Vata and any

surgery to these organs aggravates Vata, according to the accepted

principles. Any sudden change aggravates Vata. The jet lag is a

familiar example, see how it disturbs circadian rhythm. Uterus and

ovaries represent a lot to women. The loss of any of these represents

a great damage to them and traumatic shock brings in Vata. Dr Hamer proposed a

theory which he prove with the help of MRI reports. Trauma produces a DHS in the

brain and that causes some disease to appear. Be it cancer, diabetes or

auto-immune disorder, the root cause is traumatic shock which translates to

tumor or misbehaviour of imune system cells.

 

Author has discussed in past how the state of the disease is often

produced by the food and environment around a person. Author feels

that our thoughts/emotions are the results of the food and our

environment and they often drive the disease to greater height.

 

Summing up the previous discussion, author would state that your

hypertension is the side effect of hysterectomy. Your endocrinal

gland delicate balance is disturbed and reduced hormones may be

causing contraction of arteries, leading to hypertension. In many ladies in

childbearing ages, the reduced hormones reduce periods and cause short breath,

angina symptoms in addition to mild hypertension. Kidney

hormones which keep the blood vessels elastic tend to reduce with age

and stress, that is why stress and hypertension are strongly related.

Author is sure that you may have very light or very few hours sleep,

which may also be a factor attributing to hypertension. Other

symptoms such as hot/cold flashes, irritability, hair-loss, internal

dryness, sudden mood swings, doom feelings, panic feeling, anxiety

also may be present to more or less extent.

 

Such states are not withing reach of diuretics, beta blockers or ACE

inhibitors of allopathy, based on experience with several patients

who had reached these limits. Hormone replaceent therapies are accepted by those

who do not know about their connection to cancers.

 

On the other hand when they were changed to ayurvedic drugs, the hypertension

reduced and leveled out, as the root cause was tackled, rather than symptom.

 

Please see a nearby vaidya, discuss all your issues with him, and let

him arrive at a balanced lifestyle, food programme and medicines.

Hypertension may be a common symptom these days, but author has seen

that each individual has a unique root cause and each needs a

different treatment. Ayurvedic approach is often not classifiable in

to compartmental approach.

Adopt a diet which reduces vitiated Vata and Pitta together. If you

are in India, use bottle gourd juice at breakfast time. Aamalki

Rasyan, Gulkand, Drakshavaleha, Shatavari Kalpa, Phal Ghruta are many

possibilities, amongst which vaidya has a choice to select the

appropriate hormonal balnce receipe. Needless to say, Yoga and

Pranayama, meditation are drugless approaches giving better choice.
