Dr. C. Monsanto, Holland chandrasekhar@samkhya-ayurveda.org2) My niece phoned me this morning to tell me that I should be listening to BBC Radio 4. Naturally I switched on the radio and discovered that there was a very interesting programme about Ayurveda. In the briefest terms it told of the categorisation of body types, and the choice of appropriate food and food ingredients, the availability in Britain of appropriate vegetables, spices and other ingredients and so on. Unfortunately I had neither pen nor paper to hand and so have no record of the names of the doctors and other people who spoke.
However, the programme was
at 1030 am on BBC Radio 4. Apart from that, please accept our seasons greetings
and best wishes for the New Year.
Sincerely, Alan Wilson (Note: Any of you can try to
obtain a transcript or recording of this program from Radio station- or even to
find out whether the program may be repeated elsewhere in future - Editor )

Question :
I am a regular subscriber
of your list. I am suffering from severe phlegm and sneezing
condition for a long time. What should I do for this ailment. thanks. Mr.
Weerasooriya
Answer :
Dear Friend,
I would not like to suggest you to go for any medicines right now. No
symptomatic medicine will help you for longer period.
For longer relief, cure,
you need to take herbs - medicines which are immuno-boosters.Amla, turmeric and basil all are immuno-boosters.
For such thing I suggest you as following :
1. Take 10 leaves of Tulsi (basil) , 1 Amla fruit and 1 green turmeric (haldi) aprox. 15 gram . Make a fresh juice out of all and drink it everyday morning.2. If fresh (green) turmeric, amla is not available then you can use dry powders also.
3. Have massage on chest and other affected part with luke-warm Panchguna oil daily, which should be followed by fomentation by cotton bag (potli) of Ajwain (carum seeds).
Still if you need to have any medicine: here are some suggestions;
4. Tablet Septilin (HImalaya) - 2 tab. 2 times a day.5. Vasavleh - 2 t.s.f. 2 times a day.
6. Tab. Laxmi vilas ras (nardiaya) - (Dabur Co.) - 1 tab. 2 times a day.
I wish you best health. With best wishes
and kind regards.
Dr. Prerak Shah
