HOME AYURVEDA with colsanjaypande

HOME AYURVEDA – Col Sanjay Pande

Has anyone modified his lifestyle without taking any allopathic medicines? Steroids? Or even Ayurvedic medicines? Today it’s THREE YEARS that I have not suffered from even common cold. I wish to share my journey. Interested? All in home. All at home.

This is my own experience in ‘pre-emptive’ use of daily use home items to take care of health. I have gone in great details on how I got there. I am sure you have your stories to share. Three yrs. back it all started with Wapp forward of long list of home remedies for xyzzy. Over 100 of them. I must fall sick, remember the saved list, start digging well and then find out that ingredients are not there at home.

My interest in Indian cuisine brought me very close to all condiments. Now each had a reason to be added to food. The benefits accrue only if you make the dish. Next was researching the best ayurvedic solutions for weight loss, anti-oxidants and numerous other benefits. It was SCARY. Not having any knowledge I completely avoided it. Then came super foods, super seeds and benefits. Each one of us has done above and what do we do? Just dump everything and develop the attitude ‘will see when we fall sick’. We always end up with Allopathy.

I had different ideas. I simply started by making a very detailed list of every type of condiment that an Indian kitchen has. Items that you get in a grocery shop. I added to these the ‘super seeds’ and ‘super foods’. I Googled very laboriously the benefits of each and soon had a massive data bank with over 100 rows and numerous columns. Trouble was what to do with the data? Then I understood old Indian system of two meals a day with each meal supposedly having more than 18-20 items in the menu every day. No one was obese or sick. Very minuscule quantities of different condiments, foods etc. entered healthy bodies every day. The immune system was being strengthened daily.

That’s when I realised that for a healthy body I need not go for ayurvedic herbs or pre-prepared powders. I need not go for steroids, JUST visit to my grocer and that was sufficient.

The list of over 100 items was split into dry and wet items.The dry items were each categorised as per their benefits & availability. Any item that I could not get after visit to two or three grocery shops was removed. What remained was about 15-20 items that have massive benefits and when I cross checked with ‘home remedies’ most items appeared there.  What do I do with these 15-20 items? These has absolutely mind boggling properties but how do I consume these daily? That’s when I realised why ‘home remedies’? It was because it wasn’t possible to consume 15-20 items daily. That’s why 18-20 dishes in daily food.

All suggested remedies are used AFTER you fall sick. Nothing to prevent. I simply thought why not take these in minuscule quantities daily? No harm. All are grocery items. So I finally made a list and shopped. Organic, grocer, online and soon I had all I took most items in same quantity, some roasted, and made fine powder. I mixed all of these. It tasted awful. THIS WAS 3 YEARS AGO. I started taking one spoon daily. Made it a habit. Slowly increased it to two teaspoons.
I realised after about six months that my yearly cough, which I remember since my class III had skipped that yr. I continued and after a year did the whole exercise of data building to see if any new ingredients had surfaced. I revised the list. I started taking two tablespoons mixed in water before sleeping. The effect was amazing. 2nd year passed, no flu, cold, cough, acidity, headache, laziness, clogged intestines or any of the common problems. 

Third year saw me adding calcium tablets churned in powder since I am 60 yrs. 3rd year passed. Come hell or high water I did not miss it. I suffered from no ailments and three years of this #HomeAyurveda is a ‘pre-emptive’ measure and not a post-disease remedy. A perfectly healthy body being made healthier on daily basis. 

Qtys  consumed are equal to what our daily food intake will permit  had we consumed 18-20 dishes in one meal. Avoid excessive SUGAR, carbohydrates & oil etc. Do not shun any food, just take moderate quantities.

Did you know turmeric takes very long to be digested and black pepper speeds it up? Hence the combination.

MY INGREDIENTS? I made my own list, you can make yours. My list has:

Cinnamon -Grocer
Black Pepper- Grocer
Turmeric Powder-Ideally organic/Grocer
Flax Seed -Grocer
Kali Jeeri-Grocer
Ajwain-Grocer
Methi-Fenugreek seeds- Grocer

Each of above is roasted if required and churned into fine powder. I generally take 100 GMs of each except nutmeg which I take 5 pieces. It makes almost 2-2.5 kg of powder. I keep some powder in a bottle to last 7-10 days, rest in a jar with tight lid.

I take two table spoons before sleeping and a glass or two of water. Three years and not even common cold. WHY will anyone not believe it? Ayurveda is not instant.

24/LAST #HomeAyurveda 
It took me three years before I thought it was good enough to share. Whether one benefits or not what is certain is there is no loss. Lot of friends ask if I could make for them. Answer is NO. If you aren’t bothered about your health, why should I be?
