Diet and Regimen is the important aspect of treatment and AYUSH have specific protocols for the same. In this work I have tried to compile the details given in "organon of medicine" Regarding diet and regimen by master Hahnemann and also the details of diet and regimen of other AYUSH systems.
Hahnemann proposed the law of homeopathy in 1796: “Like Cures Like,” or in Latin, “Similia Similibus Curantur.” Homoeopathy is based on inductive method of reasoning.

This document provides information about the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium, including its botanical origins, preparation process, key symptoms, and areas of the body it affects. Lycopodium is described as being indicated for deep-seated, chronic conditions and is especially useful for intellectually keen but physically weak individuals. Its symptoms include abdominal bloating, urinary issues, cough, and anxiety about public speaking. Comparisons are made between Lycopodium and other remedies like Natrum mur.
Hahnemann developed the theory of miasms to explain chronic disease patterns. He believed there were three main miasms - psora, syphilis, and sycosis - that were inherited predispositions responsible for chronic illness. Psora referred to tendencies like skin issues and underfunctioning. Syphilis involved destruction and issues like necrosis. Sycosis involved overfunctioning tendencies like growths. Modern homeopaths recognize additional miasms like tuberculosis and cancer. Understanding miasms can help home prescribers realize why some remedies do not provide lasting relief and indicate an underlying state needing constitutional or miasmatic treatment.
Pulsatilla is a plant that grows in parts of Europe and Asia. It has delicate bell-shaped flowers that are usually violet, blue, or white. The entire fresh plant is used as the homeopathic remedy Pulsatilla.
Pulsatilla is indicated for mild, gentle, tearful, and indecisive individuals. Key symptoms include changeable moods and symptoms, worsening in warm rooms, and aversion to fatty and rich foods. It is commonly used to treat conditions involving mucous membranes like coughs, ear infections, and menstrual irregularities. Pulsatilla matches the temperament of soft, innocent, and shy individuals who lack self-confidence.
This document discusses five auxiliary methods of treatment in homeopathy:
1. Galvanism and electricity, which can stimulate weak muscles but may later cause paralysis.
2. Magnetism, where poles of a magnet are applied to affected areas for varying lengths of time.
3. Mesmerism, introduced by Mesmer, where a mesmerizer transfers their vital energy to a patient through passes with or without contact. There is positive and negative mesmerism.
4. Massage given by a good-natured person to restore muscle tone and circulation.
5. Baths in pure water, with lukewarm baths helpful for certain conditions and cold baths useful for deficient vital heat after a

This document discusses the classification of diseases according to homeopathic principles. It defines disease and describes the characteristics of acute, chronic, individual, sporadic, epidemic, miasmatic and one-sided diseases. It provides examples and discusses the etiology and treatment approach for different disease types. Key points include that acute diseases have a sudden onset and short course, while chronic diseases have a gradual onset and lifelong course. Miasmatic diseases arise from psora, sycosis and syphilis. One-sided diseases have few symptoms and can be internal, physical, mental or external complaints.

The document discusses miasms, which are chronic disease tendencies according to homeopathic theory. It describes the three main miasms - psora, sycosis, and syphilis. Psora is associated with need, sycosis with deception, and syphilis with destruction. The deepest and most pathological miasm is syphilis, while psora is more superficial. Understanding a patient's miasm is important for properly analyzing the case, arriving at the correct remedy, dosages, and prognosis. The document emphasizes finding syphilitic symptoms in particular when treating chronic diseases.
This document discusses temperaments in homeopathy and their relationship to remedy selection. It defines temperaments as the psycho-physical personality traits that influence an individual's metabolism, thought processes, and actions. The four classical temperaments are nervous, bilious, sanguine, and phlegmatic. Temperaments are determined from birth but homeopathic remedies can modify tendencies. Remedies may be incorrectly prescribed if temperaments are not properly considered. Symptom patterns often vary between temperaments, so the totality of symptoms rather than just temperament should guide remedy selection.

Materia Medica is a Latin medical term
for the body of collected knowledge
about the therapeutic properties of
any substance(drug) used for healing with their sources, preparations, doses and use.
This document discusses the proper procedure for examining patients and recording case histories in homeopathy. It emphasizes allowing patients to describe their symptoms freely without interruption, using the patient's own language, and not leading or biasing the patient. Symptoms should be arranged clearly with dates and in a way that allows easy reference later. Circumstances like occupation, lifestyle, and environment can provide important context for symptoms. The examiner must be careful not to confuse the case history with their own preconceptions or the effects of previous incorrect prescriptions.

This document discusses the correlation between homeopathic materia medica and repertory. It explains that materia medica records symptoms from drug provings, while repertory acts as an index to materia medica to help physicians more efficiently find the similar remedy. The document illustrates how repertory starts with a broad group of potential remedies and gradually narrows them down using rubrics until identifying the simillimum described in materia medica. It provides an example of synthesizing rubrics by combining related symptoms scattered across repertory into one rubric.
Dr. Kent's 12 observations provide guidance on interpreting patient responses to homeopathic remedies. The document summarizes 12 common observations, such as prolonged aggravation followed by improvement or new symptoms appearing after a remedy. For each observation, it outlines the potential inferences about the patient's state or remedy selection, recommendations for next steps, and prognosis. The overall document serves as a helpful guide for homeopaths to analyze treatment outcomes and determine the best course of action.
The document discusses three types of materia medica: therapeutic, picture, and comparative. Therapeutic materia medica organizes remedies by disease indications. Picture materia medica aims to represent each remedy's individual picture in an artistic manner, focusing on mental symptoms. Comparative materia medica compares remedies based on symptoms, pathology, sphere of action, or at the drug level. The document provides examples and discusses the merits and demerits of each approach.

Dr. Remya Krishnan discusses health and hygiene from an Ayurvedic perspective. Health is defined as normal functioning of the body and clear state of mind. Evidence-based parameters of health include good appetite, digestion, sleep, and elimination. Factors like diet, environment, and genetics can affect health. Ill health results from impaired intellect, self-control, and memory due to lack of knowledge about health. A balanced diet incorporating all six tastes is important for health, while excess of any taste can trigger disease. Infections and allergies result from circumstances in the body favoring microbes and altered immune response caused by unfavorable diet and lifestyle practices.
High carbohydrate intake - this is probably the largest single cause of modern diseases such as hypertension, obesity, syndrome X, heart disease and cancer .
The last but not the least Speaker for the Breakout Session on Health and Food is a raw food & yogini goddess. Sonia Astudillo shared with us her journey and the health benefits of practicing a raw, vegan lifestyle.
Naturopathy promotes consuming foods in their natural and unprocessed forms. It emphasizes eating a diet that is 80% alkaline (from fruits and vegetables) and 20% acidic (from proteins and carbohydrates). The document outlines the concepts of diet in naturopathy, including eliminative, soothing, and constructive diets used in naturopathic treatment plans. It also discusses general rules for healthy living, basic principles of diet therapy, foods to avoid, and foods that are beneficial to health according to naturopathic principles.
This document discusses dietetics and nutrition, defining key concepts and classifying foods. It outlines the proximate principles of foods, dietary guidelines, and food pyramids. It also describes the personalities and foods associated with sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic diets. The conclusion emphasizes that food impacts health and one should eat to live rather than live to eat.
Healthy eating can be defined as the intake of sufficient amount (quantity) of the right kinds (quality) of foods to meet one’s daily physiological needs (requirement) in order to maintain optimum health and prevent diseases.It also involves consuming other dietary components that are devoid or almost completely devoid of harmful substances or organisms.
Important of Healthy Eating
Helps to main healthy weightAffect mood positivelyStrengthens immunityReduces the risk of non-communicable diseases (diabetes, heart diseases, cancer)Supports mental and physical development and performanceDelays the effect of agingReduces health cost.
Consequences
Malnutrition is the consumption of too little or too much of the nutrients required to form and maintain the structure of the body. Undernutrition; This can lead to anaemia, kwashiorkor and marasmus osteoporosis, goiter, night blindness, poor immunity (due to lack of vitamins A, C, E, B6 , folic acid, zinc, copper selenium, iron) and infection. Overnutrition: leads to overweight/obesity, heart disease due to excessive intake of saturated fat and cholesterol and other non-communicable diseases such as arthritis and rheumatic disorders, eye disease, heart disease, diabetes and cancers.
Healthly eating diet
1. Variety: This can be evaluated in two ways: overall variety and variety within group. Foods are generally divided into groups based on similarity of the nutrients they provide. Overall variety means eating foods from each of the food groups. Variety within group involves choosing different foods from within a particular group. For example, within the meat/fish/poultry/legume group, protein intake should not come from only one source, e. g, eating red meat or eggs only. Vary the sources of protein from time to time. A diet that has variety within a similar food group as well as an overall variety is believed to be superior to a diet with a monotonous source.
2. Adequacy: This criterion evaluates the intake of dietary elements that must be supplied sufficiently to guarantee a healthy diet, as well as a precaution against under nutrition. These foods/nutrients are fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, protein, iron, calcium and vitamin C.
3. Moderation: Moderation evaluates the intake of foods and nutrients that are related to non-communicable diseases and may need restriction. Such items include fat, salt, cholesterol and sugar. This does not imply avoidance, since certain levels of these are necessary for body function. They must be eaten in moderation or sparingly.
4. Overall balance: This means mixing and matching foods and meals in order to obtain enough of the nutrients that are needed and not too much of the one that can potentially harm health; for example, ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 or saturated to unsaturated fatty acids. Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids is a risk factor for several chronic diseases.

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).
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.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

20. It is a systemic process of investigating the pathogenetic powers of drugs by
administering them on healthy human beings of both sexes, all age groups and
of different constitutions.
21. Dieteric restrictions to the provers (footnote to
aphorism 124 &125)
During drug proving, the prover has to avoid all the substances of
medicinal nature. This has to be followed from the first day of proving
to the final day of experimentation.
i. The diet of the prover must be strictly regulated. It should be as much
as possible, devoid of spices. The purely nutritious, simple, vegetable
substances and roots are allowed. Young green peas, green French
beans, boiled potatoes and in all cases, carrots are allowed. These
substances have least medicinal values.
22. Dieteric restrictions to the provers (footnote to
aphorism 124 &125)
ii. All salads and herbs should better be avoided because even if they
are prepared carefully they possess some disturbing medicinal
qualities.
iii. The prover must avoid drinks like pure wine, brandy, coffee or tea. If
he is habitual to such substances, he must abstain himself from suc
substances for a considerable period of time because these injurious
beverages either have simulative effect or they are medicinal in nature.
24. Latent Psora :-

28. Tubercular :-
● Craves meat, many reject the fat.
● Thrive better on fats and fat foods.
● Requires much salt.
● Starches not easily digest
● Desires cold thing to eat and drink.
30. Homeopathy advocates the application of minute doses of medicines for the
treatment of diseases. Considering this minute dose of the medicine, it is
necessary that everything which can have any medicinal action should be
removed from the diet and regimen of the patient during treatment, so that
the small dose may not be overwhelmed and extinguished or disturbed by
any foreign medicinal irritantsirritants like onion, garlic, exotic plants, etc.
32. Knowledge about the diet and regimen of the patient in chronic diseases is
very important because in chronic miasmatic diseases the diet which has the
medicinal effect can alter the action of the minutest doses of homeopathic
remedy.
By altering the diet and regimen, some chronic disease because of
maintaining causes, can be controlled very easily.
33. Things To Be Avoided :-
1. Coffee, chinese and other herbal tea, beer prepared with medicinal,
vegetable substances, are not suitable to the patients suffering with

39. In acute diseases, the vital force is well aware of things that relieve its
sufferings. Hence in acute diseases:
1. The physician has to guide the friends and attendents of the patient to
provide those which the patient thinks will relieve his sufferings.
2. In acute diseases, the patient desires such foods and drinks which
palliate his sufferings. If the cravings of the patient are non medicinal
in nature, they can be allowed. But even if the cravings of the patient
are doubted to interfere with the action of the remedy; the
homeopathic medicines in acute cases have the capacity to over come
such obstacles and the vital force can set free itself. The refreshment
follows from taking what has been so ardently longed for.
3. Arrangement of the patient’s room, arrangement of his bed, and control
of his room temperature must be done according to the wishes of the
patient.
4. As far as possible the patient must be kept free from all types of overexcretion, mental
tensions and emotions.

44. Theory of 5 elements (Panchmahabhoota)
Any material in the universe, according to Ayurveda is composed of five
basic elements, the Pancha Mahabhootas, namely Earth (Prithvi),
Water (Aap), Fire (Teja), Air (Vayu) and Ether (Akasha) including
human body and the food. Planning and indulging in the diet balancing
these elements maintain the homoeostasis of body.
45. Theory of 3 biological humors (Tridoshas)
Theory of three biological humors (Tridoshas): The human body
is similarly constituted from Panchamahabhootas. The Biological
Humors (Tridoshas) i.e. Vata, Pitta Kapha which constitutes the
body is also made up of Panchamahabhootas. As it is mentioned that;
● Vata is made up of Vayu and Akasha mahabhoota,
● Pitta is made up of Agni mahabhoota and
● Kapha is made up of Jala and Pruthvi
Each food article either has Dosha aggravating or pacifying or balancing
action on human body. To keep the balance of Doshas (health) disturbed
due to various factors like season, age etc., the Ayurveda prescribes
specific diet.
46. 6 basic tastes (Shadrasa)
The food contains six basic tastes and each taste has pre-dominance of particular elements of
Panchamahabhoota which exerts specific effect on the Tridoshas.
Madhura (Sweet) – Prithvi Aap
• Amla (Sour) – Prithvi Agni
• Lavana (Salt) – Aap Agni
• Katu (Pungent) – Agni Vayu
• Thikta (Bitter) – Vayu Akash
• Kashaya (Astringent) – Prithvi Vayu
47. It is mentioned that,
● drugs having sweet, sour and salty taste alleviate Vata, those having astringent, sweet
● bitter tastes alleviate Pitta
● astringent, pungent and bitter tastes alleviateKapha dosha
49. Ayirveda explain 8 atributes related to food :-
1. Prakrti –Qualitative characteristics of the food
2. Karana – Processing of food
3. Samyoga – Mixing
4. Rashi – The quantity
5. Desha – Habitat of the person
6. Kala – Time seasonal variation
7. Upayoga Samstha – Variable digestibility of various
food articles
8. Upayokta – The person who takes the food
51. Diet plays an important role in keeping our mind healthy.
Considering the effect of food on mind following 3 classifications have
been made:
1. Satvik diet – Ideal diet containing vegetarian, non-oily, non-
spicy articles which are congenial to the body
2. Rajasik diet – Too spicy, hot, sour, salty that excites the mind
3. Tamasik diet – Too oily, heavy food that leads to lethargic
mind
55. 1. One should take food in proper quantity which is hot,
unctuous(greasy) and not contradictory in potency and that too, after
the digestion of the previous meal. Food should be taken in
proper place equipped with all the accessories, without talking
and laughing, with concentration of mind and paying due
regard to oneself. The quantity of food to be taken again
depends upon the power of digestion including metabolism.
The amount of food which without disturbing the equilibrium
gets digested as well as metabolised in proper time is to be
regarded as the proper quantity.
2. If the food article is heavy, only three fourth or half of the
stomach capacity is to be filled up.
3. Shushruta advocates intake of food which is easily digestible,
energetic, soft, and warm to be taken in proper quantity only
when one is hungry.
57. The food with incompatible or contradictory qualities has poisonous effect on the body
that aggravates Tridoshas intern leading to various disorders viz: Gulma
(Lump), Fever, Allergic Dermatitis, Eczema, Abscess and other Skin
diseases. It also destroys strength, vigour, memory, immunity etc.
● Few contradictory combinations are:
1. Fish or its soup along with milk
2. Milk or milk products with alcoholic beverages
3. Radish consumed with milk
4. Lotus stem with honey etc.
5. Equal quantity of honey with ghee
59. The Ayurveda prescribes specific diet for different seasons.
● Spring season – Bitter, hot and astringent diet is advised while
salty, sour and sweet food should be avoided. Wheat, barley, honey
syrup, fruits like mango, jack fruit-etc. and meat of forest animals is
advised .
● Summer season – Due to hot climate aggravation of pitta occurs.
Hence pitta pacifying cold, liquid, sweet and oily diet is advised.
Excessive hot, spicy, sour salty diet should be avoided. Intake of rice,
milk, ghee, sugar, grapes, coconut water, meat of forest animals are
advised .
60. ● Rainy season – In this season aggravation of vata occurs due to
cold climate, hence vatashamaka sweet, sour and salty food and drinks
are preferred. The food should be hot, dry, fatty and easily digestible.
Preserved rice, wheat, barley and mutton soups are advised.
● Winter season – Increase of Vata dosha occurs due to cold, dry,
chilly atmosphere in this season hence vataghna, pittavardhaka diet is
recommended. Hot, sweet, sour and salty food, milk, sugarcane, rice,
oils and fats are advised.
● Autumn season – In this season aggravation of Pitta dosha occurs.
Therefore, it is ideal to take ghee processed with bitter drugs; purgation,
bloodletting, coolant, and light diet are advised. Bitter, sweet, pungent
dominant diets are advised.
62. ● Yoga follows guidelines of Ayurveda for diet regimen.
● According to YOGA one should have regularity in taking food.
● One should have specific interval between having food and performing Yoga.
64. The Unani Traditional Healing system of health places great emphasis upon diet. As
Avicenna(Persian Polymath) wrote, Most illnesses arise solely from long-continued
errors of diet and regimen. The manner in which foods affect the body is viewed in Unani
from a simple yet highly interesting vantage point.
There are three aspects of metabolism of food: digestion, assimilation, and residue.
Digestion here means the initial breakdown of foods in the mouth and stomach.
Assimilation refers to the absorption of micronutrients into the blood-stream and cells.
The evacuation of residue implies the amount of waste products that remain after a food
is completely metabolized by the body. All three of these functions must be carried out
efficiently.
65. According to Unani concept the outer environment influences a person and food quality
very much and therefor the attention is given to external environment in which food is
made as well as in which circumstances it is being consumed.
67. According to siddha 'Food is Medicine' (Unavae marunth). It was said by the great siddhar
'Thiruvalluvar' in his famous work 'Thirukkural'. Good nourishing food with all the 6
tastes (sweet, sour, salt, bitter astringent and Pungent) included and with more of sweet
taste is the definition of perfect food. In this context the sweet taste refers to the
carbohydrate food.
