I have read in Ayurvedic texts that the stewed sweetened fruit of the Bodhi tree have great efficacy in curing "mental problems"--is that so?
When I lived in India during the 1980s(as a Vedic Wanderer)I met many Sadoos who praised this fruit as a means to have insight into the meaning of existence.
Lack of insight into the meaning of existence could be said to be the root cause of all "mental problems".
PLEASE help me.

Hi Friends,

is it useful for sperm count increase ?
 
Mukul

Raja I do not think so. The herbs for you are :
Sida Cordifolia capsules. Take one everyday for a month and Mucuna Pruriens. Eat one capsule every day for a month.
These two herbs will not only increase the sperm count, but will also improve the quantity and quality of sperms.

Robin

Shashank Why are you taking Bodhi leaves for heart blockage. Garlic is the best herb for you. Crush 2 cloves of Garlic with hand. Leave it aside for 15 minutes and then eat them with a glass of water. Are you taking any other herb or drugs for it ? If yes, then share with us. Drink Cayenne pepper added in hot water. Every day for a week

Sir, My father has 90% blockages in heart and doctor has suggested bypass surgery for him after 2 months. So is there anything by which blockages can be reduced or anything that can be beneficial for him??? ( someone told me that giving him water in which pipal leaves are boiled would be highly beneficial in reducing blockages. Is that going to work?)
 
Manik

Ankit
The herb that will help to reduce the blockage in the heart is Cayenne. Add half teaspoon of cayenne pepper to a cup of hot water. Drink it twice a day for a few weeks. Drink Ginger tea every day.
Also Hawthorn capsules can be taken, but avoid it if he is already taking any other drugs for heart.

I am having a lot of fat accumulation in areas of thighs and hips. I want to get rid of the same by external application in the form of paste, powder or oil. What part of the peppal is useful for this.how can prepare and apply? Kindly advise.
 
Mrikula Anand ( India )
07 Feb 2017
The best way to reduce the accumulated fat on your thighs and hips is a regular massage with Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Take 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add a tablespoon of Olive oil to it. Mix it well and apply the solution on your thigh. Gently massage the thigh for 2 minutes. Leave it for 30 minutes. Wash it off using warm water.
Repeat the procedure, twice a day for a month.
-Practice Yoga
-Regular Exercise is the fastest way to reduce the deposited fat. I suggest you to go for cycling daily. You may also join swimming classes.

Amit Kohli.
We would like to inform you that Asthma has many shades and aggravations. It needs to be examined in detail before she takes any herb. So, you will have to give us details, like, How did it start?
Since when is she suffering from it?
When is it worse, during the day or night?
When is she better. What is the effect of weather and temperature?
Is there anyone else in your family who is suffering from it, like your parents or grandparents?

Hi sir/madam,

I am 39 years old. I have 9 yrs old son. Now I want to have one more baby. Past 6 months we are trying didn't conceive. When I consulted a gynocologist , after scanning and blood checkup she said there is no problem. Due to age factor AMH is low. To increase the egg count she asked me to take Ashoke churna and Ashwath churna.I got Ashoka churna but Ashwath not yet. Is it available with you? And can I hope for good?
 
Shobhna Desai
16 Feb 2017
If the doctor said the AMH is low, it means the ovarian reserves are depleting. And with age, it does. So, first of all, you need to manage your Stress level. It is one of the major causes of it.
AVOID : dairy products, soy, red meat, especially high in animal fats and also avoid wheat.
ALKALIZE YOUR BODY. Take Baking Soda with a glass of water. Add a pinch of Baking Soda to water and drink it regularly for 21 days. Include Seafood in your daily diet, take Royal Jelly capsules, one every day for a month. Vitamin E is very very important for you. Include food rich in it.
Massage of abdomen area and feet acupuncture will also help.
Acupuncture has really shown great results in such cases. you must give it a try.

Dear Sir/Madam

We heard the leaves are a good source of antioxidant and have started consuming it.
We feel good and energetic after consuming it.
5-8 leaves boiled with 3 glasses of water and when reduced to 1/3, we consume it. Taste good as well.
Is this anti-cancerous?
