In episode #16 of the Vital Way we have a special guest Sajah Popham who'll tell us all about herbal alchemy, spagyrics, how paracelsus revolutionized medicine, similarities between Tomsonian herbalism, Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, and much more.
The Buddhist diet prohibits killing animals and consuming intoxicants based on the Five Moral Precepts. It originated from the idea that all beings are interconnected and to kill is to kill part of oneself. While early Buddhist monks could eat meat if not specifically prepared for them, Mahayana Buddhism promoted stricter vegetarianism to help end the cycle of rebirth and suffering for all beings. The diet precludes not just meat but also dairy and other animal products to truly embody non-violence and compassion.
The document discusses several alternative medicine practices including naturopathy, yoga, Bach flower remedies, and aromatherapy. Naturopathy focuses on lifestyle habits like diet, purification methods, hydrotherapy and massage. Yoga is an ancient practice with eight components including physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. It can improve circulation, behavior, and serenity. Bach flower remedies use 38 flower extracts to treat mental states like depression. Aromatherapy uses essential oils applied or inhaled to treat wounds, skin issues, stress and more, and has origins in ancient Egypt and Ayurveda.
This document provides an overview of alternative systems of medicine, with a focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian systems including Ayurveda. It discusses the basic principles and approaches of these traditional medicine systems, including how they understand the human body and disease, diagnostic techniques, and common herbal and other treatments. The document outlines key concepts in Traditional Chinese Medicine such as Yin Yang theory and the five elements. It also summarizes Ayurveda's view of the doshas, dhatus, panchamahabhutas and approaches to diagnosis and treatment including herbal properties. Siddha medicine is also briefly introduced.
This document provides information about naturopathy and its relationship to yoga. It discusses the five basic principles of nature - prithvi, apa, tej, vayu, and akash. It explains the aims and philosophy of naturopathy, as well as its history. Various naturopathy treatments are described, including mud therapy, water therapy, sunlight, air, and space. It notes limitations of naturopathy and similarities between naturopathy and yoga practices.
Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that originated in India thousands of years ago. It views health as a balance between the body, mind and soul. The main principles of Ayurveda are maintaining equilibrium between the three doshas (biological energies) - vata, pitta and kapha - through lifestyle practices like diet, exercise and meditation. When imbalance occurs, Ayurveda seeks to treat the root cause through natural therapies and herbal remedies to restore overall well-being.
Traditional medicines comprise knowledge systems developed over generations within various societies before modern medicine. They include medicinal plants, minerals, animals and non-medication practices. While traditional medicines provide accessible primary healthcare in developing countries and are gaining popularity in developed countries, there is still a lack of standardized research on their safety and efficacy compared to orthodox medicines.

African traditional medicine is a holistic health practice that uses indigenous herbalism combined with some aspects of spirituality. It involves the direct application of herbal remedies, animal parts, or mineral materials for healing purposes. It is still the main source of healthcare delivery in almost all Africa nations in spite of the growth of religious enlightenment, western civilization, and modern medicine. It is often regarded as an alternative or complementary system of medicine. This paper provides an introduction on African traditional medicine. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

Onion and garlic toxic and brain desyncronisersVishnu Daivata
Why is garlic not good for the budding Buddha brain? Because it is a “brain toxin.” Garlic is in particular not good medicine for your brain on meditation.
Sorry to deliver such bad news for all you aspiring Enlightenment seekers and garlic eaters out there. This somber news item comes from the ancient yogis of India. Those sages of the past who have practiced what they have preached for thousands of years.
According to both yogis and Ayurvedic doctors, garlic agitates and dulls the mind and the lower chakras (yes, what a crazy mind-body combination!) and is therefore not conducive to a contemplative lifestyle.
In addition to being vegetarians, the yogis of old also ate a sattvik or yogic diet specially devised for a contemplative lifestyle. The yogi diet consists of foods that improve mental clarity and energy.
The yogis divide the energy of foods into these three categories:
Sattvik (pure, balanced) foods are great for both the body and the mind. Energetically they are pure, light, clear, calming, harmonizing and promote wakefulness. Such foods include most vegetables, grains, milk, ghee, beans, fruits, etc.
Rajasik (energetic) foods are OK or good for the body, but may or may not be good for the mind, depending on the time of the day and the quantity taken. Rajasik foods are energetically cloudy, turbulent, agitated, and disturbs the emotions.
Such foods include chocolate, coffee, black tea, and many hot spices, etc. Some yogis and ayurvedic doctors include garlic and onion is this category, but this does not seem to be the best way to classify these plants, because most rajasik foods are OK to take in moderation.
Tamasik (dull) foods are generally not good for the body (or neutral) and not at all for the mind. Tamasik foods are dulling and create lethargy and heaviness. Meat, fish and eggs are classified as tamasik foods, and also garlic and onion. Overeating, even sattvik foods, would also be considered tamasik.
Satvik foods are healthy for both the body and the mind. Most hot spices, including garlic and onions are not conducive to meditation as they tend to overstimulate the mind and then crash it into low gear, making it dull and lethargic—giving us a kind of garlic rock and roll, then a garlic blues.
I have not personally eaten garlic or onions for over 35 years, so what do I know? In other words, I may not be the best judge anymore, but when I tested this many years ago, I found that these rules were true: my meditation did suffer from an overstimulated and strangely foggy brain.
We all know that coffee and chocolate are stimulating (rajasik), and therefore I try not to ingest these items at night. Otherwise I turn into a yogi on speed, which is not very conducive for meditation or sleep.
Unani medicines are an indigenous system of medicine that draws upon ancient traditional medicine systems from various regions. The document discusses the principles, diagnosis methods, therapies used, dosage forms, marketed products, advantages and disadvantages of the Unani system. It provides details on the temperaments, humors, organs and other theoretical foundations. Therapies discussed include diet therapy, pharmacotherapy, surgery, regimental therapy involving exercises and cupping. Various solid, liquid and gaseous dosage forms are also outlined along with their ingredients and uses.
This document provides an overview of the history of food as culture in Armenia dating back to 8000 BCE. It discusses how ancient Armenian agriculture and culinary traditions have influenced other ancient civilizations and survived into modern cuisine. The document also presents the concept of "conscious food" or meaningful eating, which values food based on its viability rather than calories. It emphasizes the spiritual nature of humans and our connection to nature. Finally, it provides an introduction to the digestion process and the relationship between digestion and mental activity.
Chinese traditional medicine is a complete medical system over 2000 years old. It attributes illness to imbalances in yin and yang rather than germs. The body has organs that perform functions to ensure health. When functions break down for various reasons, disease occurs. Yin and yang classify the body and nature into complementary opposite aspects. Health represents harmony between yin and yang aspects while disease stems from imbalances. Traditional Chinese medicine uses several plants like ginseng and citrus to help restore balance.

Fasting refers to abstaining from food and drink for a period of time. It is an ancient practice followed in many religions. Fasting has many health benefits including detoxification, immune system boosting, disease prevention, and longevity. There are different types of fasts based on duration, purpose, and foods/drinks allowed. Fasting improves health by allowing the body to eliminate toxins and waste at an increased rate. Potential signs of detoxification during a fast include gas, bad breath, and coated tongue. Fasting has physiological effects like increased insulin sensitivity and reduced oxidative stress.
Ayurveda and Unani are ancient Indian and Middle Eastern traditional medicine systems. Ayurveda is based on balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) using herbs, diet and lifestyle. Unani uses humoralism - it views the body as composed of four basic elements (earth, air, fire, water) and four humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, black bile). Both aim to treat illnesses by restoring balance and harmony. They incorporate diet, herbs, massage and other natural therapies prescribed based on each person's unique constitution or temperament.
Siddha medicine is a traditional Tamil system of medicine originating in ancient Tamilakam in India. It considers nature and humans as essentially one, with the human body made up of combinations of five primordial elements - earth, water, fire, air and space. Diagnosis evaluates factors like pulse, voice, tongue, body, excrement and urine. Treatment aims to restore balance to the three doshas (humors) - vatham, pitham, and kapham - using formulations made from herbal and mineral substances. Siddha medicine emphasizes prevention, and treats diseases through internal medicine, external applications and procedures, while considering factors like diet and lifestyle.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that is considered a upveda of Atharvaveda. It aims to maintain health of healthy individuals and treat diseases. It views health as a balance of doshas, dhatus, malas, and atma. Diagnosis is based on examination of patient and disease. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, herbs, panchakarma cleansing procedures, and some minimally invasive surgeries. Ayurvedic education, practice, products are regulated in India.
India is known for its traditional medicinal systems—Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani. Medical systems are found mentioned even in the ancient Vedas and other scriptures. The Ayurvedic concept appeared and developed between 2500 and 500 BC in India Traditional medicine (also known as indigenous or folk medicine) comprises knowledge systems that developed over generations within various societies before the era of modern medicine. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as "the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness.Alternative medicines are being used by about 60 percent of the world's population. These medicines are not only used by the rural masses for their primary health care in developing countries but are also used in developed countries where modern medicines dominate.India is the largest producer of medicinal plants. There are currently about 250,000 registered medical practitioners of the Ayurvedic system, as compared to about 700,000 of the modern medicine. In India, around 20,000 medicinal plants have been recorded; however, traditional practitioners use only 7,000–7,500 plants for curing different diseases. The proportion of use of plants in the different Indian systems of medicine is Ayurveda 2000, Siddha 1300, Unani 1000, Homeopathy 800, Tibetan 500, Modern 200, and folk 4500. In India, around 25,000 effective plant-based formulations are used in traditional and folk medicine. More than 1.5 million practitioners are using the traditional medicinal system for health care in India.
This document provides an introduction to using herbs for self-care and natural home remedies. It discusses why people choose herbs, noting that humans have long relied on plants for food and medicine. Herbs are generally safe to use if chosen wisely from reliable sources and with precautions like avoiding interactions with prescription drugs. The document outlines common minor conditions that herbs may help with, such as respiratory issues, digestion problems, stress, headaches, and sleep difficulties. Effects are typically seen within a few days to a few months depending on the issue. Safety tips include starting with low doses and stopping if any unpleasant reactions occur.
This document is a zine titled "Truth or Consequences" by Rachel Lee about healing.

I am an Air Force brat and grew up in several different countries .docxsheronlewthwaite
The author grew up in a military family, living in several countries overseas and being exposed to different cultures. Their cultural background incorporated many religious beliefs and focused on using natural remedies over medical treatment. Illness was not taken seriously unless it impacted daily functioning. Some family traditions included using religious symbols, herbal remedies for healing, and showing love through cooking large meals. As an adult, the author still follows some of these practices but has adopted a healthier lifestyle and is more willing to seek medical care when natural remedies are not enough.
Strengths & Characteristics A shamans role in the health of thei.docxjohniemcm5zt
Strengths & Characteristics
A shamans role in the health of their communities is very important. Their job is to know the plants/herbs that they live around, their medicinal use, how to diagnose a member of the community, and how to treat them.They also are the ones who are able connect on another level with the rainforest and their ancestors.
Shaman's should be very knowledgeable and wise of their surrounding environment. This includes knowing the medicinal uses of each plant. Also knowing that one plant can have many uses and symptoms. Like Plotkin describes in his book, once you find out one use for a plant it can lead and open to more uses as well as classify plants under groups.
A shaman should know of any side effects plants have and how to continue with the treatment for their community member. For example, ayahuasca, is a brew from the Amazon rainforest Plotkin wrote about. It is usually used for spiritual awakenings for a community member to connect with the spirit world and find their purpose in life/or how to become the best person they can be in this world. Today, they also offer it to tourists who are willing to take this brew. But if you are not use to taking this brew it can really cause scary hallucinations that the average human is not use to. The shamans are also here as a guide to walk you through this spiritual awakening and make sure you are calm and okay. My father was born in the jungle region of Ecuador, South America and worked as a tour guide all around the country. As I was reading Plotkin's book he told me that when he was a teenager that he actually took ayahuasca and described it as a crazy trip. And that the Shaman he was with helped him get through it. It was then when my father realized shamans develop a kind of tolerance to these plants that they are able to really get the most out of their use and connect with their spiritual world. It is definitely not an easy job.
It is said that one reason the Shamans reach out to their ancestors is to help them cure or treat their community members. As well as give them reasons as to why they became ill in the first place. They hold the key to the spiritual world that Indians in the rainforest rely so much on. Their vegetation, living, and health all rely on traditions that ancestors began. And the Shamans are the ones who can remind their culture (by connecting with their spirits) how traditions like healing work.
I have a strong belief that there is an important role for shamans in the contemporary world. Their knowledge and experiences they have can be so useful for our own knowledge in finding new medicines and ways to treat the human body. It allows us, humans, to have options in how we want to look/take/ treat ourselves with medicines. It also allows for two different cultures to diagnose a human body. You can get an objective viewpoint (from doctors) as well as a more social view point (from the shamans).

I am an Air Force brat and grew up in several different countries .docxsheronlewthwaite
The author grew up in a military family, living in several countries overseas and being exposed to different cultures. Their cultural background incorporated many religious beliefs and focused on using natural remedies over medical treatment. Illness was not taken seriously unless it impacted daily functioning. Some family traditions included using religious symbols, herbal remedies for healing, and showing love through cooking large meals. As an adult, the author still follows some of these practices but has adopted a healthier lifestyle and is more willing to seek medical care when natural remedies are not enough.
Strengths & Characteristics A shamans role in the health of thei.docxjohniemcm5zt
Strengths & Characteristics
A shamans role in the health of their communities is very important. Their job is to know the plants/herbs that they live around, their medicinal use, how to diagnose a member of the community, and how to treat them.They also are the ones who are able connect on another level with the rainforest and their ancestors.
Shaman's should be very knowledgeable and wise of their surrounding environment. This includes knowing the medicinal uses of each plant. Also knowing that one plant can have many uses and symptoms. Like Plotkin describes in his book, once you find out one use for a plant it can lead and open to more uses as well as classify plants under groups.
A shaman should know of any side effects plants have and how to continue with the treatment for their community member. For example, ayahuasca, is a brew from the Amazon rainforest Plotkin wrote about. It is usually used for spiritual awakenings for a community member to connect with the spirit world and find their purpose in life/or how to become the best person they can be in this world. Today, they also offer it to tourists who are willing to take this brew. But if you are not use to taking this brew it can really cause scary hallucinations that the average human is not use to. The shamans are also here as a guide to walk you through this spiritual awakening and make sure you are calm and okay. My father was born in the jungle region of Ecuador, South America and worked as a tour guide all around the country. As I was reading Plotkin's book he told me that when he was a teenager that he actually took ayahuasca and described it as a crazy trip. And that the Shaman he was with helped him get through it. It was then when my father realized shamans develop a kind of tolerance to these plants that they are able to really get the most out of their use and connect with their spiritual world. It is definitely not an easy job.
It is said that one reason the Shamans reach out to their ancestors is to help them cure or treat their community members. As well as give them reasons as to why they became ill in the first place. They hold the key to the spiritual world that Indians in the rainforest rely so much on. Their vegetation, living, and health all rely on traditions that ancestors began. And the Shamans are the ones who can remind their culture (by connecting with their spirits) how traditions like healing work.
I have a strong belief that there is an important role for shamans in the contemporary world. Their knowledge and experiences they have can be so useful for our own knowledge in finding new medicines and ways to treat the human body. It allows us, humans, to have options in how we want to look/take/ treat ourselves with medicines. It also allows for two different cultures to diagnose a human body. You can get an objective viewpoint (from doctors) as well as a more social view point (from the shamans).

Angels are spiritual beings mentioned in many religious scriptures that are said to help humans. They have unconditional love for all of God's creations and see our true potential, encouraging growth. Angels can help humans when asked but cannot intervene with free will. Connecting to angels is as easy as connecting with a friend and invoking them can help bring success, prosperity, healing, and help one overcome daily battles and hurdles. Regular contact with angels can help bring positive changes to one's life, making one feel radiant and at peace. Looking to angels for help is encouraged.

This document provides an overview of alternative medicine, including its history and various treatment options. It discusses how alternative medicine has its roots in ancient practices from China, Tibet, North America, and India. These traditions focused on treating the whole person rather than just physical symptoms. The document then examines several alternative treatment approaches, including homeopathy, herbal remedies, herbal teas, vitamins/minerals, bee therapy, and iridology. It provides examples of how each method can be used to treat various common ailments in a natural way.
Holistic medicine aims to provide an intellectual framework that unifies the different divisions and approaches in medicine. It views medicine as one continuum rather than separate systems. The holistic approach considers insights from all medical traditions while also recognizing the limitations of each. The goal is to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of life and better support total stress management.

Alternative Medicine: The Ins and Outs of Non-Traditional Healingsaravananshanmugam64
Introduction
Traditionally, the first response for Americans to any type of medical issue is conventional medicine. There is, however, another option. Alternative medicine is sometimes considered the oldest medicine in the world. Alternative medicine envelops the concept of seeking out non-traditional ways to deal with day-to-day health issues. This type of medicine looks beyond taking medication. People look to use alternative medicine for two main reasons. The first is because of the idea that taking medications can potentially lead to unhealthy results such as dependencies and side effects. The second is because of the natural curiosity of man to find better methods to heal...

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
