आयुर्वेदानुसार , कोरोना आणि " STEAMING " यांचा संबंध !

आजकाल कोरोनापासून संरक्षण करण्यासाठी घराघरात STEAMING चा वापर केला जातोय.सगळ्यांनाच माहिती आहे कि सकाळ संध्याकाळ वाफ घेतली तर आपण सुरक्षित राहू. पण असे का ? कोरोना आणि वाफ घेणे यांचा कसा संबंध आहे ?

                              

 "STEAMING" यालाच आयुर्वेदात स्वेदन म्हंटले आहे.आचार्य चरक स्वेदनाची प्रशस्ती वर्णन करताना म्हणतात - 

"स्वेदनाचा उपयोग हा  वात कफ विकारांसाठी होतो. कारण वात आणि कफ हे दोन्ही दोष शीत गुणाचे आहेत."

आयुर्वेदानुसार , कोरोना हा वातकफज ज्वराशी साधर्म्य राखतो आणि ज्वर चिकित्सा वर्णन करताना चरकांनी  ज्वर मध्ये स्वेदन चिकित्सा देखील वर्णन केली आहे.

यावरून असे दिसून येते कि कोरोना हा वातकफज ज्वरापासून संरक्षण करण्याकरिता वाफ घेतली असता तेथे वात आणि आणि कफाचे शमन होते आणि तो कफ द्रवित होऊन कमी होतो.

वैज्ञानिकांच्या नुकत्याच लखनौ येथे झालेल्या शोधानुसार , दिवसातून २ ते ३ वेळा वाफ घेतली तर कोरोना पासून बचाव तर होतोच तसेच कोरोना रुग्ण देखील लवकर  बरे होऊ शकतात.वाफ श्वास नलिकेमधील रक्ताचा संचार वाढवते आणि रोग प्रतिकार क्षमता मजबूत करते.तसेच या शोधात हे देखील आढळून आले आहे कि ५० डिग्री सेल्सिअस वर कोरोना विषाणू कमजोर होतो तर ६० डिग्री सेल्सिअस वर तो एवढा कमजोर होतो कि शरीराची रोग प्रतिकारशक्ती त्याला मात देऊ शकते.                                

वाफ घेताना कोणती काळजी घेतली पाहिजे ?

१. वाफ घेताना  फॅन खाली बसून , कूलर समोर बसून वाफ घेऊ नये.

२. वाफ घेऊन लगेचच थंड हवेत जाऊ नये.

३. वाफ घेऊन लगेच थंड पाणी पिऊ नये

४.वाफ घेताना वाफेपासून डोळ्यांना जपावे.

५.वाफ व्यवस्थित प्रकारे नाकाने घेतली जाईल अशी शरीराची स्थिती ठेवावी आणि डोळ्यांचे वाफेपासून संरक्षण करावे..

६.वाफ घेताना पाण्यात पुदिना / ओवा टाकून वाफ घ्यावी.

आयुर्वेदानुसार कोरोना रुग्णांसाठी आहार !

आजकाल कोरोना  रुग्णसंख्या वाढताना दिसून येत आहे व बरेच रुग्ण  काय खावे आणि काय खाऊ नये याबद्दल संभ्रमात असतात असे दिसून येते.

कोरोना आणि भय !!

(फोनवरील संभाषण )

व्यक्ती १ - काय अरे कसा आहेस ? काय म्हणतोय कोरोना ?

व्यक्ती २ - काही नाही रे . ठीक आहे. तू कसा आहेस आणि घरी सगळे कसे आहेत ? आणि  तिकडे कसे आहे                        कोरोना  ?  इकडे रुग्ण खूप  वाढलेत  रे ..

व्यक्ती १ - अरे रुग्ण तर सगळीकडेच वाढलेत, तुला सांगू का काल काय झाले आपल्या कॉलनी मध्ये - अरे ते आपल्या शेजारचे Mr .XXXX आहेत ना , ते काल  टेस्ट ला Positive आले होते आणि आता हॉस्पिटल मध्ये दाखल आहेत.असं ऐकलंय कि त्यांची प्रकृती खूप गंभीर आहे .

व्यक्ती २ - बापरे ! अरे इकडे पण आमच्या सोबत काम करणारे सिनियर परवाच वारले.भयानक झालाय सगळं. 

व्यक्ती १ - भीती वाटायला लागलीय.. कोणी साधा खोकला / शिंकाला तरी ..

आज काल असे संभाषण सगळीकडेच ऐकायला मिळतात .

TV चालू केला कि सगळीकडे कोरोना ! या शहरात रुग्ण संख्या इतकी वाढली / या शहरात इतके रुग्णांचा मृत्यू !

whatsapp वरती अनेक ग्रुप्स वरती कोरोना कोणाला झाला ? त्याला काय झालं ? अश्या प्रकारचे संभाषण !

अनेक Whatsapp ग्रुप्स वरती येणारे कोरोना बद्दल चे messesges तुमच्या नकळत रुग्ण वाचत आहेत , जसे कि ग्रुप मध्ये असणारे किती लोक त्या वेळी हॉस्पिटल मध्ये असतील याची तुम्हाला कल्पना देखील नसते आणि  त्यांच्यासाठी ते अजून भीती वाढण्याचे कारण ठरू शकते आणि बरयाचदा तसे घडते पण.

 

 बरेच लोक रुग्णांना फोन करून बोलतात परंतु त्यांना सहानुभूती देण्याचे सोडून ,  त्यांच्या बोलण्यात कोरोना मुळे हा पण गेला , हा व्हेंटिलेटर वर आहे , हा पण सिरीयस आहे अश्याप्रकारचे बोलणे असते आणि तेच रुग्णाचे रोगाबद्दल चे भय वाढवण्यास कारणीभूत असते.त्यामुळे  कोरोना च नाही तर कोणताही आजार असो रुग्णाला बोलताना त्याला सकारात्मक वाटेल असेच संभाषण ठेवावे . हे लक्षात घ्यावे कि रुग्ण मनानी जर स्थिर आणि धैर्यवान बनला तर तो लवकर बरा होऊ शकतो.        

हे सगळं ऐकून रुग्ण / लोक अजूनच भितात आणि चिंता करायला लागतात.

लोकांच्या बोलण्यात कोरोना , विचारात कोरोना , मनात कोरोना, कोरोना ने सगळंच व्यापलंय आणि तेच कोरोना  बद्दल भीती आणि कोरोना ची परिस्थिती वाढण्यास कारणीभूत ठरतंय.

आयुर्वेदिक आचार्य चरक - यांनी याच परिस्थितीचे वर्णन चरक संहिता मध्ये केले आहे -

" विषादो रोगवर्धनानाम " !! 

विषाद म्हणजे दुःख / चिंता / भीती .

रोग वर्धनानाम म्हणजे रोगाची वाढ होण्यास कारणीभूत प्रमुख घटक .

म्हणजेच रोगाची भीती आणि त्याबद्दलचा सतत विचार/ चिंता , त्याबद्दल केलेले दुःख हेच रोग वाढवण्यात मुख्य घटक आहेत.

 जसे आपण बऱ्याचदा ऐकले आहे कि काही वेळा साप चावल्यावर लोक मरतात  आणि नंतर कळते कि साप विषारी नव्हता. म्हणजेच तो व्यक्ती फक्त साप चावलाय या भीतीनेच मरतो. यावरून च विचार / रोगाची भीती काय करू शकतात याची कल्पना येते.

आज अशी वेळ आहे कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ती च्या ओळखीचे कोणी ना कोणी तरी कोरोना मुळे हॉस्पिटल मध्ये  ऍडमिट आहे , आणि त्यावेळी असे सगळे ऐकून ती व्यक्ती कळत नकळत ही सगळं त्या रुग्णाबद्दल विचार करू लागते

आणि स्वतः सुद्धा सतत चिंतीत राहते.

कोरोना ची परिस्थीती जरी चिंतीत करणारी  असली तरी पण जर सगळ्यांनी तोच तोच विचार करून त्याबद्दलची भीती वाढवून घेऊ नये .

म्हणूनच कोरोना बद्दल सतत बोलणे टाळा ! अनेक कोरोना चे रुग्ण बरे होऊन घरी येत आहेत त्यामुळे भीती कमी करून त्याबद्दल सकारात्मक पद्धतीने विचार करा . ही परिस्थिती जरी चिंता निर्माण करणारी  असली तरी त्याला धैर्याने सामोरे जाणे हेच यावरील मुख्य औषध म्हणता येईल..!

मास्क वापरा ! सामाजिक आंतर पाळा !!लस घ्या !!सुरक्षित राहा !!!

"COVID-19 & WISHFUL THINKING"

Despite the fact that everybody is aware of the current pandemic situation caused by "COVID-19," what causes them to fall prey to “wishful thinking ? ” 

First of all ,let's know what is the term “ WISHFUL THINKING " ? & How it can be correlated with COVID-19 ?

‘Wishful Thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine, rather than on evidence, rationality or reality.,it is the product of resolving conflicts between Belief & desire'

                       ( ref: wikipedia )

In simple words,

You want something to be true when it is not, so you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true.

Analogy : 

you want something to be true 🠞 that you are not infected with covid-19,

so you ignore the real truth 🠞 you ignore the truth of its slight possibility & try to escape from reality 🠞 try to avoid testing for Covid-19 🠞 worsening of the condition of the patient 🠞 then testing 🠞 & getting results of moderate / severe condition.

Everyone is  aware of Covid-19 symptoms like cough, fever, breathlessness, loss of sense of smell & taste, etc. Many people are experiencing situations like -

1) one has cough for some days but no other symptoms .

2) one has a fever but it got cured after simple medication & has no any other symptom.

3) one has cough , fever but no other symptoms & got cured after simple medication.

Such circumstances lead people to conclude that they are not infected with covid 19 because they were healed. Though, it's possible that they just received a symptomatic cure, leading them to believe they've been healed. In that case people ignore the fact that this might also be due to Covid 19, they avoid getting checked for the covid, so as to run away from the unfortunate reality !

“Believing that we are not infected , so no need to go through the test ” explains wishful thinking.

Consequences - 

This aggravates the condition, and the patient becomes so infected that it is difficult for doctors to treat it quickly, or the patient can die.

So don't fall into the pit of "wishful thinking" and get the test completed instead.

This post is just for requesting people for getting tested for covid 19 if -

1. They have any of the symptoms or are a little suspicious about covid-19.

2. They were in contact with anyone who is found positive for Covid-19.

Please don't overlook the possibility that you have covid-19. 

"PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE," says Ayurveda. So, if testing is needed, don't shy away from it. This will assist you in getting a better cure. "Early Testing-Early Cure!!" is another way of putting it.

Be Safe ! wash Your Hands !! Follow Social Distancing !!!
