#61 Tulsi, A Divine Ayurvedic Plant
SV Ayurveda
Tulsi is regarded as a divine plant in ayurveda. It is loaded with medicinal properties, particularly for the physical and vibrational heart, the skin, and the lungs, as attested in the Charak Samhita, the millennia-old Sanskrit text that Vaidya reads and translates during the session. It is also a mandatory feature in any Krishna temple, in India and across the world, where live Tulsi plants are grown in dedicated areas of the temple. This lecture by Vaidya Ramakant Mishra is part of the video seminar "Dravya Guna - Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia", a once-in-a-lifetime series of conferences held at...

#54 Marine Salt vs Soma Salt
SV Ayurveda
While we worry about pesticides, colorants, preservatives, and other harmful chemicals in our food, antibiotics and vaccines in meats, very few people are aware of the health-deteriorating effects of microplastics in table salt. As a result of decades of trash dumping in our oceans, plastic bottles, bags, and other manufactures shred into very tiny fragments that we end up ingesting with the salt. They are a well-known factor in sterility and many other disorders/illnesses in our physiology. An alternative to marine salt, the Himalayan salt, also referred to as pink salt, has always been...
info_outlineIn this episode, Dr. Lisa Rasking, D.C., Vaidya Mishra’s accomplished student and research collaborator, explains the dangers of consuming vegetables from the nightshade family. These veggies, which include eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes, contain several neurotoxic substances, like nicotine and particularly solanine. These toxic chemicals are produced by the plants to protect themselves from insects and are in reality nature’s-made pesticides, which modern laboratories utilize to manufacture rat poison and herbicides.
Solanine, which accumulates in the body’s involuntary muscle tissues and the intestines’ lining, is directly related to osteoporosis and general calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It “deviates” the calcium causing it to accumulate and build up in the wrong tissues instead of being put to work on building healthy bones. It also interferes with neuronal synapses and affects our joints among several other disruptions.
Modern Western research is corroborating today what the ancient sutras of ayurveda knew since time immemorial and Vaidya Mishra learned from his father and ancestors in his Shaka Vanshyia lineage of healers.
