Ayurvedic Prevention Techniques for Lifestyle Disorders

In our busy modern lives, health issues caused due to stress, inactivity, and poor diets have become common. But in Ayurveda, there's a guide to help prevent these problems. Ayurveda, a traditional remedy for staying healthy, has tricks to tackle the challenges of modern life. The blog ‘Ayurvedic Prevention Techniques for Lifestyle Disorders’ will show you how Ayurvedic tips can fit into your daily routine. From simple habits to special treatments, Ayurveda helps keep you healthy and balanced. Together with the best Ayurvedic hospital in Dubai, let's explore how Ayurveda can be your friend in staying strong, happy, and well.

What are Lifestyle Disorders?

Lifestyle disorders, which are sometimes referred to as Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in health terms, constitute a group of various chronic diseases whose development is predominantly predetermined by one’s lifestyle. These are non-infectious and their manifestation is mainly from chronic exposure to various other factors including poor diet, sedentary lifestyle etc. Lifestyle disorders include types of diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity phenomena and some sorts of cancer. Different from single causes’ disorders, lifestyle illnesses are multifactorial where genetic predisposition as well as environmental factors play a role and therefore respond well to modification of lifestyles.

The modern world is a fast-paced one, and this has led to the rise of lifestyle disorders in contemporary times. These health challenges are linked to sedentary jobs, the use of processed foods, and always being hooked up or connected to bots. Unlike some conditions, lifestyle disorders are preventable and controllable through intentional attempts to embrace healthy practices. With this knowledge of how daily decisions affect general welfare, people can actively reorient their lifestyles to minimise the risk of these disorders and attain lasting health and well-being.

What are the Common Lifestyle Disorders?

You may have heard about lifestyle disorders. Let us look at them in detail a bit:

Cardiovascular Diseases: These are conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart disease and stroke, which are results of a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.

Type 2 Diabetes: This is a form of diabetes that is often associated with obesity, lack of exercise, and poor dietary choices.

Obesity: This is a condition of excessive body weight due to an imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure, often stemming from poor dietary habits and insufficient physical activity.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): High blood pressure levels are mainly caused due to factors like stress, a high-sodium diet, and lack of exercise.

Sleep Disorders: Conditions such as insomnia and sleep apnea can be influenced by lifestyle factors like irregular sleep patterns and excessive screen time.

Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of conditions, including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels, often related to poor lifestyle choices.

Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are often exacerbated by smoking and environmental factors.

How does Ayurveda help to Prevent Lifestyle Disorders?

If you find it difficult to prevent lifestyle disorders, we are here to help you with the best curative treatments in Dubai. Before that, read this blog as this blog is specially for you to understand and practice effortless Ayurvedic practices to stay away from common lifestyle disorders. 

Dincharya

Nidra

Vyayama

Ahara

Panchakarma

Herbal Remedies

Dincharya: 

The Dincharya is the daily routine that follows nature’s rhythms in Ayurvedic principles. This practice involves several activities that are undertaken at a given time of the day to achieve physical and mental harmony. Waking up in the morning and doing some rites such as tongue scraping, oil pulling etc., are an important part of Din Chariya. This practice helps maintain overall wellness through improved digestion, balancing the energy system and developing a sense of discipline for lifestyle.

Nidra:

Ayurveda treats sleep as a significantly vital parameter. In Ayurveda, one of the three pillars that go along with health is nidra (sleep). Sleep, restful and adequate sleep is necessary for the process of revitalization as well as repair. According to the Ayurvedic guidelines, people are advised to sleep as early as possible (before 10 p.m.) and wake up in the morning hours. Sound and restorative sleep can be achieved by establishing a suitable sleeping environment as well as following relaxation practices, which promote physical and mental health.

Vyayama:

In Ayurveda, vyayama or regular exercise is very important to prevent lifestyle disorders. The focus is on the inclusion of exercises that are compatible with one’s body constitution or dosha. Ayurveda advocates for exercise that balances Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. For example, people with predominant Vata dosha can benefit by practicing grounding activities such as yoga while other individuals having a Pitta constitution often derive relief from cooling exercises like swimming. Physical activity provides a good defence against many lifestyle disorders by improving the blood system, metabolism and general vitality.

Ahara:

Ahara, diet is also a foundation stone of Ayurveda for maintaining health without diseases. Ayurveda dietary doctrines are based on individual constitution, referred to as Prakriti and the balance of doshas. You must include fresh, seasonal and locally grown foods in your diet. Foods are classified according to taste (rasa), heating or cooling properties (virya) and post-digestive effects in Ayurvedic medicine. Many lifestyle disorders can be prevented by following a balanced and personalized diet to support digestion, build the immune system, and avoid imbalances.

Panchakarma:

Panchakarma can be called the process of detoxification and rejuvenation in Ayurveda. It includes five treatment methods called the Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshana. The removal of accumulated toxins by panchakarma and the restoration of balance in doshas. This method of detoxification is essential in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle disorders because it eliminates deeply rooted toxins as well as enhances general health.

Herbal Remedies:

Ayurveda utilizes herbs to prevent and treat several health conditions by their healing power. Herbal remedies are customized based on one’s dosha, imbalances and individual needs. The most common herbs such as turmeric, ginger, ashwagandha and Triphala have shown anti-inflammatory effects along with being adaptogenic detoxifiers. These herbs correct the already existing imbalances and act protective against lifestyle disorders. The herbal formulations recommended by Ayurvedic practitioners support digestion, enhance immunity as well as contribute to better general health.

So, fun fact about me: I have a debilitating vomit phobia. And not like an "ew that's kinda gross" phobia, like a panic-attack-when-someone-gags kind of phobia. It is Bad. And, because I'm a fucking idiot, I am pursuing a career in the medical field, where lots of people throw up bc labour makes you do that. And morning sickness. This phobia is actually the reason I quit being a paramedic - I spent too many shifts crying in the front of the truck because I couldn't face another food poisoning call and I was on the highest level anti anxiety that I could be without being sedated 😅. I've had a lot of therapy to work through this and the main technique for getting over it has been Exposure Therapy (which sucks btw but is so effective) and slowly, I've been getting better. I'm also completely off the meds which like, hell yeah! I haven't clinically had to deal with anyone throwing up yet, or gotten too close to it in my 3 years of study (somehow), until today.

Usually, someone says they're nauseous and I gap it. You will not have seen me move so quickly. And I don't even know I'm doing it until I'm gone, it's like I black out and come to outside the room mid-panic attack. Today though, I was working with Lactation Consultants, and a lady we were seeing postnatally had sepsis and was on some pretty nuclear antibiotics. Halfway through our time in there, she grabbed a little emesis bucket and declared that she felt like she was going to be sick. Before I really knew what I was doing, I had a hand around the curtain and was about to leave, under the pretence of "I'll find your midwife and see if she can get some antiemetics", but then I stopped myself. Which has never happened before. I forced myself to stay in the room, I kept talking, did LOTS of deep breathing, and I did not panic, I did not leave, I fucking stuck it out.

She didn't throw up but still.

So idk why I'm telling any of you this but I'm proud of myself and wanted to share it with someone sdfkjdfhk

[pseudowho]

omg I didn’t know you’re a midwife! I’m currently a nursing student and I plan on working in OB 🤞🏻. One of my favorite clinical experiences was following around a very nice midwife from England (I’m in southern California so the accent immediately threw me off) and she let me watch everything. I watched her do membrane sweeps, she made sure I watched a few epidurals being done. She was so kind, sweet, and smart and I was so upset when my time with her was over. Midwives are pretty rare over here in my area (I think just the US in general is kinda lacking in that area) so I really hope I get to work with her

Hey! I am. Midwifery is just as certified a profession in the UK as nurses, doctors, etc.

It sounds like you were privileged to watch a British midwife go and do her thing. I imagine her ability to practice to her full extent was very corseted by American Medical Law though. I hope you enjoy your time in Obstetrics, I'm sure you'll make it!

We're different to nurses, paid more, as we are autonomous practitioners like doctors. We're considered the experts on normal pregnancy and birth. So, when a pregnancy and birth is totally straightforward, if a doctor tried to make clinical decisions for our patients, a midwife has the authority to frogmarch them from the room, because we're the best person to look after that patient.

Midwives do almost everything for a woman in pregnancy, labour and postnatal, even if she's considered 'high risk'. We deliver all of the babies that aren't instrumental births or caesareans. We do suturing, all the meds administration, observations, 'being with woman'.

It's an incredible privilege, honestly. There aren't many other countries in the world, I think, where Midwifery is what it is in the UK.

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

By: Andrew Reiner

Published: Jun 6, 2024

For a long time, the internet and social media have been bloated with memes, even articles, that denigrate men and most forms of traditional masculinity. Many of the people behind these posts insist that they are simply snarky barbs aimed at people with the most “privilege” who can’t take a joke.

If there was ever any doubt about the veracity of or honesty behind such a statement, a growing trend appears to pull back the veil.

Recently, the online magazine Slate ran an eye-opening story revealing that many young couples are using in vitro fertilization to ensure they conceive daughters instead of sons. In other countries, IVF is legal only as a screening measure to detect the likelihood for genetic diseases. Not in the U.S., where IVF clinics have mushroomed in number over the past two decades because prospective parents want freedom of choice.  

In one American study, white parents picked a female embryo 70 percent of the time. A 2010 study showed that American adoptive parents were 30 percent more likely to prefer girls than boys, and were willing to pay an additional $16,000 to ensure they got a girl. 

One 31-year-old woman interviewed for that piece, who works in human resources (an industry dedicated to equity and parity) said, “When I think about having a child that’s a boy, it’s almost a repulsion, like, Oh my God, no.”

Such disturbing sentiments are widespread in the U.S. and are part of a growing trend in Western cultures — popularly called Gender Disappointment. An Australian psychologist who specializes in antenatal and postnatal care conducted a Facebook survey and found that Gender Disappointment is most common in women, who unabashedly want daughters, not sons. One woman posted on a mothers’ chat board that the “vast majority” of women on “every social media (Facebook, Instagram) site or general website (Netmums, Mumsnet, Reddit)” voice this gender bias. “There are websites like ingender and genderdreaming just dedicated to Gender disappointment…some of them are straight out Boy bashing or anti boy posts.”

This invites the question: What exactly is it about having boys that seems so repellent? Many of the women in the Slate article, even mothers of boys, pointed to that sweeping, damning and vague label “toxic masculinity.” They spoke to girls’ “limitless potential” versus that of boys. Girls move out of the house earlier, achieve greater academic success, are more likely to attend and graduate from college, find jobs more readily than male peers and have higher emotional IQ.

One woman insisted that boys are “less caring toward their parents.” This woman craves a ‘“close friendship”’ with her future child that ‘“seemed possible only with a female child.”’  

It isn’t just women. Another interviewee echoed the sentiments of many younger men when she said her husband values characteristics ‘“more [stereotypically] associated with girls,”’ such as “empathy, social skills, and kindness.”

This invites the question: If these skills are so important — and they are, as schools, workplaces and relationships increasingly demand them — why can’t we simply teach them to boys?  

Such gender bias is emblematic of the selective empathy trend in which people proffer tolerance, compassion and context only for those they deem worthy. Though unintentional, this was what Rachel, who works in spaces that empower girls and women, was speaking to after reading my book.

“I had no idea so many men struggle deep down and have these anguished inner lives,” she said. “Many of us have this belief that men’s privilege insulates them from the struggles the rest of us have.”

I absolutely appreciated her sincerity and thoughtful admission. And the lack of empathy that belies many girls’ and women’s perception of boys and men is problematic. It’s maladaptive and robs males — one-half of the population — of their humanity and very real struggles.

Part of the reason this dearth of empathy exists is that too many men have abdicated their responsibilities. The men who are wounded by this brand of toxic messaging don’t speak up because they are afraid of the backlash, especially of being “canceled” or widely attacked on social media. They fear being labeled (unfairly) as extremist “Men’s Rights” apologists.

And the men who do speak up rarely do so in a productive way. Too often they shrug and pretend not to care, and instead take their grievances to the online “manosphere’s” dark corners, where they exact revenge among a receptive, misogynistic audience.   

It’s also time that women did some soul searching — that they stop and reconsider their prevailing, limiting perceptions about men and masculinity. Their own personal experiences with men don’t apply across the board, and such wanton attacks on and wholesale dismissal of boys and men only perpetuate and normalize a reactivity that’s uncritical and self-pitying.

A more productive social media post might feature a montage of boys and men with this caption: “Yes, you need to level up…you also deserve empathy and compassion along the way.” It’s not catchy, but it moves the conversation forward in a way we need it to go.

TV Series Discussion: Sex Education

Season 4 (2023)

Source: Google Images

Insecure Otis has all the answers when it comes to sex advice, thanks to his therapist mother. So rebel Maeve proposes a school sex-therapy clinic.

Source: Netflix (2019)

Absolutely Brilliant

I'll be honest here, I started watching this season with expectations of disappointment only because I knew the one couple I was rooting for was not endgame. That being said, I had no idea what I was going to get from Sex Education's final season.

In this last season, we got some really good stories which ultimately led to great character growth. Some were simply briefly touched on, like Jean's postnatal depression, Jackson finding out the truth behind his sperm donor, Ruby finally figuring out her true identity (kind of), and Viv's experience with an abusive man.

Whereas some took practically the entire show (not just this season) to get an ending. Like Aimee finally being able to recover from her assault, or Cal's struggle to become who they truly were. We also had Otis realising what issues he had and how deep they were rooted. This season also showed us Maeve and exactly how thick the wall she built around herself truly was.

Some of these stories, I particularly enjoyed watching the characters learn and grow from them. Some, really annoyed me. For example, I was never in love with the idea of Maeve and Otis being endgame. As time went on, I just preferred them as friends instead of a couple. As friends, they brought out the good in each other. As a couple, it always felt like Maeve's just holding onto Otis's leash. And I hated how Otis forsaked anybody and everybody once Maeve was around. If you'd watched this season, you could see how bad of a friend, a son and a campaign party he was once Maeve was back in his life. I still don't like the idea of them being a couple but seeing how deep-rooted their individual issues were, it made sense why I always thought them together romantically was problematic but I am not opposed to them coming back together in the far future. Probably why Sex Education's finale struck a chord in my heart, one I did not expect to be struck. Way to go, ambiguous endings.

Now, Adam has been one of my favourite people in this show since he showed his vulnerable side which automatically meant Michael's not exactly likeable. Michael was a toxic father and husband, nobody can object to that. And when Adam told Michael off and finally articulated his unhappiness with his father, I was so proud of my dear boy. However, it's the part where Michael said he doesn't hate Adam, he hates himself. That part made me so happy because not only was Michael fully acknowledging he was a bad parent and husband, he also finally gave Adam clarity. My boy has struggled too much and although I hate that he is no longer with Eric, I am absolutely elated Adam's in such a better place both physically and mentally.

Which brings me to my favourite character growth in this season. Eric freaking Effiong. I never thought this person needed more development, then this season came and I was utterly proven wrong. However, it's his story that warmed my heart. I don't think enough people talk about what Eric was going through in season 4. It's something everybody knows, regardless of which side we're on. Yet, we never talk about it or in some cases, act on it. The dilemma, the identity crisis, the forlornness that people like Eric suffer from... It opened my eyes bigger, I was aware before, I am just even more aware now.

Sex Education actually got better as the seasons went on. And season 4 was an excellent finale to it. I know it's not a show for everyone but I think it should be.

Before I say farewell to Sex Education once and for all, I went back to read my reviews for seasons 2 and 3. And wow, my thoughts each season really go back and forth. (Sarcastically) I love the fact that none of my wishes for season 4 happened, at all.

Rating: ★★★★☆

P.S.: I did not realise how much I liked the secondary school teachers until they had that small appearance.

Julian X Apprentice Family

Another quick fic I forgot to post pre c word

If you'd told Julian Devorak that he'd be a father to two kids five some years ago, he'd never would have believed it.

He might have laughed. He might have made some dramatic comment on how cruel it was to tell a man on death's door about a future he would never have. A future he could never have, didn't dare to dream of.

But here he was. The love of his life, his savior, the stars and light of his life, curled up next to him, fast asleep from the warmth of the fire. Already they were swollen with a baby bump, marking their second to come. Their first born, only a year and a half old, laying on top of him. With their heads resting on his chest, Julian had to surrender to the fact he'd become a human cushion and would be there for the duration of the night.

Watching their heads rise and fall with his breathing had hypnotized him, looking into faces of angelic looking creatures in the warm light of the fire.

He never imagined his life would turn out quite like this. He hadn't imagined he'd have another chance at life five years ago. Yet something felt so right being here, with them.

Julian very gently, carefully, toyed with his infant's hair. Hair that already resembled his own auburn curls. With the light of the fireplace, she looked like a little cherub with a halo of fiery curls.

The two angels asleep on his chest almost helped him forget the countless children and infants lost to the plague nearly a decade ago. Almost.

Sometimes he'd see them in his nightmares, countless young faces with red sclera, scared, missing their parents, in pain.

But Julian had been given another chance. Not just at life, but in his practice. Trading the title of plague doctor for family physician. Instead of tending to the dying, he was taking on pediatrics, prenatal and postnatal care, and more, in his clinic. On the odd occasion he'll perform minor surgery.

“Sayuri Roe,” 23 (Japan 2016)

Japan’s Mizuguchi Hospital (which is actually licensed as a clinic) has quite a reputation for luxury. It advertises itself as “providing haute couture philosophy of custom fashion design to the birthing process, with its total birth coordinators catering to guests’ specific, individual needs during both prenatal and postnatal care, as well as the delivery itself.” Patients are referred to as guests and are offered birth plans named after royalty.

But there’s a darker side to Mizuguchi. Although it does offer actual prenatal, birth and postnatal medical care, abortions have also been conducted at the facility.

“Sayuri” (real name was not given) was a 23-year-old pregnant newlywed who went to Mizuguchi on July 8, 2016– just two days after her wedding. She was promised not only safety but luxury when she was scheduled to undergo a “safe and legal” surgical abortion.

Abortion is legal up to a certain point in Japan, but surgical abortion procedures can only be performed by abortionists accredited by prefectural medical associations under the Maternal Protection Law. Officials at Mizuguchi were aware that the abortionist who conducted a dozen abortions there between May and September did not have this certification, but hid this information from their clients.

Sayuri underwent the abortion on July 8 and died on July 14. Her husband was devastated.

According to the Japan Times, Sayuri’s husband filed a criminal claim against the Mizuguchi Hospital that same month. In the claim, the unnamed husband and his lawyer said the abortionist was not accredited to do abortions, and Mizuguchi hid information from them about this.

“I have no words to express my anger,” the husband, 26, said. “I hope they will be severely punished. We were supposed to live happily together and this happened in less than two weeks (after getting married).”

The police investigated and Mizuguchi released a statement including an apology and a confession that officials were aware of the abortionist’s lack of credentials.

The following October, the abortionist who killed Sayuri and her baby quit working at Mizuguchi. For Sayuri, her husband and her baby, it was too little too late.

(If you think you know who Sayuri is and would like to help share her story, please DM me.)

this includes sex ed season 4 spoilers !!

sex education season 4, for me, was both great but not the best out of all the seasons. I love that we got closure for some characters and that we finally got to know how they moved past or delt with things that had happened previously. i also appreciate that a lot more topics like postnatal depression, cancer scares, not enough support when it comes to people with disabilities, sexuality, possessive partners etc were touched apon. however, i do feel as though the ending did disappoint me. dan coming to visit jean but then us not being able to see his reaction to being told he is joy's father, i feel personally i would have liked to see how he took that news. Yet, I do have to say the way they executed friendships, such as otis and eric as well as the growth in relationship between adam and his father was well executed. overall i feel as though the season was great, do i feel as though it deserves one more season? yes, but that's just me being selfish not wanting it to end hehe.

The jumping back and forth between maeve in America did put me off in a way, it was nice to see how she was doing out there and what her life was like now but I feel as though they could have brought her back into it when it came to her having to return for her mother's funeral, I also feel as though otis and maeve was never going to work. long distance or not I feel truly that otis and ruby had 10 x more chemistry and would have been so much better together this season as I could see something growing between them.

Amy, i love you. the closure we got for amy and what she had been through was handled well, i love that through her photography she found a way to gain peace as well as shed light on what she had been through and express her emotions. im also totally here for amy and issac's relationship, they're totes cute (im never saying totes again lol)

The character O really did piss me off at the start, her cocky attitude really got to me and i was rooting for otis' sex clinic (as you would not knowing anything about O) but as the season progressed and we got to see more from O and learn more about them i gradually warmed up to the character and in the end believe that her and otis would make a great team together (hence me wanting one more season to see this)

oh and one last thing, out of the three new characters they added in my favourite had to be aisha, i just loved her.

this is just my option, you're all open to your own i just wanted to express mine.

Nasya: An Ayurvedic Treatment Effective for Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders

The upper respiratory tract is crucial for our health since it allows us to breathe in fresh oxygen. Nevertheless, with the increase of pollution on earth, our breathing process has been compromised. Parts such as the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, throat, pharynx, and larynx work together to ensure that we breathe well and reduce the bone weight of the skull; add moisture to breathe air and voice resonance. 

Although our body builds up mucus to fight against these pollutants the mucous membrane secretions can lead to subsequent problems when they are accumulated for a long time. This is where Nasya can help you out. The therapy, a natural remedy using medicated oils, powders, and others, will cleanse our respiratory system offering a path to breathe outside while surrounded by toxins of life.

So read along the blog, Nasya: An Ayurvedic Treatment Effective for Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders to know more about how the Ayurvedic treatment in Dubai, can fight ENT disorders.

What is Nasya?

Nasya is an age-old practice of therapy in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medicinal system. The process of nasya involves the administration of herbal oils or medicated substances through the nasal passage to reach ear, nose, and throat areas (ENT). For ages, this traditional method has been valuable in various ENT disorders. To understand Nasya, one must examine its origins, cultural significance, and where it stands among other Ayurvedic remedies for a healthy nose, ear, and throat. Let’s now explore the world of Nasya which is simple but profound in terms of holistic health. Reach out to our experts at Ayurheritage to know more about Nasya and Ayurvedic eye care treatment in Dubai

Everything You Need to Know About Nasya

Understanding Nasya is like unlocking the secrets of an Ayurvedic therapy. Nasya involves using special substances, like herbal oils, in your nose to help with ear, nose, and throat issues. There are different types of Nasya treatments for different problems. They use various things and methods depending on what each person needs. One big idea behind Nasya is to balance the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which are important in Ayurveda and represent different body functions. 

Nasya helps bring these doshas back into balance, making you feel better overall. Learning about Nasya lets us see how it works together with our body, making us healthier.

Nasya is used for

Difficulty with concentrating

Struggling to make decisions

Pain or  discomfort at the back of the throat

Development of scar tissue in the airways due to inhaling toxic substances, drugs, or pollution

Activation of motor organs in cases of stroke

Psychosis

Schizophrenia 

Types of Nasya and Nasya Oil Benefits in Ayurveda

When it comes to Nasya treatment, different medicated oils play a key role in addressing specific conditions. Let's take a closer look:

In Nasya therapy, medicated oils are used to bring balance and healing. These oils often contain special herbs and ingredients designed to target specific issues in the respiratory system. These oils boast unique properties and benefits attributed to their key ingredients. For example, some may have soothing properties, while others could focus on clearing congestion or reducing inflammation.

Selecting the appropriate oil depends on individual needs and conditions. Here's a breakdown of some common Nasya treatments:

Brumhana Nasya:

Ideal for nourishing and strengthening the respiratory system

Shamana Nasya:

Focuses on calming and pacifying imbalances in the nasal passages.

Marshya Nasya:

Involves the use of substances to induce moisture, beneficial for dry nasal conditions.

Navana Nasya:

Utilizes medicated oils to promote cleansing and purification of the nasal passages

Considering these variations, Nasya treatment offers a range of benefits. It's known to be effective for conditions like nasal congestion, allergies, sinusitis, headaches, migraines, rhinitis, and other nasal infections. In simpler terms, Nasya serves as a helpful Ayurvedic remedy for sinus issues and may also contribute to relieving migraines. Choosing the right Nasya oil tailored to specific needs can make a significant difference in addressing respiratory concerns.

Benefits of Nasya

Nasya offers a multitude of benefits for overall well-being. Here's a closer look at the advantages of Nasya treatment:

Sinus Relief: Nasya is highly effective in treating sinus-related issues such as congestion, sinusitis, and nasal blockages. The medicated substances help clear the nasal passages, promoting better airflow and relieving discomfort.

Allergy Management: Individuals suffering from allergies, whether seasonal or environmental, can find relief through Nasya. The therapy aids in reducing allergic reactions by cleansing and calming the nasal passages.

Headache and Migraine Alleviation: Nasya has shown efficacy in relieving headaches and migraines. Addressing underlying causes such as congestion and inflammation will help to minimize the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Rhinitis and Nasal Infection Treatment: Nasya is a valuable remedy for rhinitis and various nasal infections. It helps in clearing mucus, reducing inflammation, and preventing the recurrence of infections.

Improved Respiratory Function: Regular Nasya treatments contribute to enhanced respiratory function. The therapy supports the health of the entire respiratory system, including the nostrils, nasal cavity, and throat.

Enhanced Mental Clarity: Nasya is believed to have positive effects on mental clarity and cognitive function. The clearing of nasal passages and improved airflow can lead to better oxygenation, benefiting overall brain function.

Voice Resonance and Health: The treatment also plays a role in maintaining vocal health. By addressing conditions that affect the throat and larynx, Nasya contributes to a clear and resonant voice.

Balancing Doshas: One of the fundamental principles of Ayurveda is balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Nasya aids in restoring equilibrium among these doshas, promoting harmony in the body and mind.

In conclusion, Nasya therapy in Ayurveda emerges as a natural and holistic solution for respiratory well-being. Its diverse benefits, from relieving sinus issues to promoting mental clarity, highlight its significance. Understanding and opting for Nasya allows individuals to start a journey towards a healthier and more balanced life.

what major does harmony study in college? did she have idea of what she was as a career path? would she choose something different if given the chance?

In her main verse, Harmony studies nursing. In the US, it would be a Bachelor in nursing (BSN) degree or a registered nurse to BSN degree program. She would do equivalent programs in verses where she is outside the United States.

After that, Harmony would continue to study to be a certified nurse midwife or CNM, which is about a master degree level in nursing. This would allow Harmony to oversee patients throughout their lives, no just for prenatal, births, and postnatal care. She would be able to oversee low-risk births for people who want to do it at home or in an environment with little medical intervention but can deliver high-risk births under the supervision of an obstetrician. It also gives her right to prescribe birth control for patients who request it, and help with menopause care and aging.

Harmony chose to be a CMN or nurse-midwife because birth was a normal thing for her. In the Black Hawk Reservation, it was a rural community far from the cities. After the Indian Health Service (IHS) clinic closed down, the closest hospital for the people was over an hour away. It is difficult to go there during the long winters when the harsh blizzards occur in Montana. Harmony was born at home since her mother was low-risk for complications. When Harmony was a child, she helped her mother and other female relatives when a birth happened in her family. It started as helping deliver water and herbs for adults to heat and deliver to the room where the birth is taking place. As she got older, Harmony would be more involved in helping with the process. This is because births are not only a medical condition but a ceremony. It is welcoming a new life into the world which needs careful preparation.

After the birth, the baby and their mother would go into the car with relatives to drive to the city for medical checkups. If things go wrong, her family has plans to take action to be sure everyone safely get medical attention.

Harmony wants to learn the skills of being a nurse midwife so she can help people have the best prenatal care and safe birth in respect to their culture and the resources available to them. Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. It should be patient-centered and prioritize the safety and well-being of patients.

She also wants to introduce other forms of medicine like for the mind, heart, and spirit. She and her people respect modern medicine like many Indigenous people do. It's just they want traditional knowledge and ceremony to work with medicine.

Harmony is a healer at heart and wants to help people heal. But there are other choices that she may consider, and there are AUs with these other career choices.

In other verses, Harmony may be a primary care nurse or physician's assistant. Both positions are always needed. I also have verses with Harmony as a police officer. Though, Harmony may have interest in being a park ranger since she has a love for nature and wants to help protect it.

Skin to Skin

12 / 24 / 22 – Christmas Eve

Luke 2:1-14

John 1:1-14

“Skin to Skin”

(The Mystery of the Incarnation)

So . . . how is everyone doing?  Everyone feeling good, this evening?  Is everything checked off your “to-do” list?  All of your presents wrapped and food prepared?  Are you feeling good about life – everything good when it comes to your health, and your finances, and your family?  How about the state of the world, this evening?  Are you feeling like we’re basically on the right track – headed toward success as the human race?  

Now, there might be some of you who wholeheartedly would answer “Yes!” to all of the above.  “Life is great!  Never been better!”  But I imagine that even though Christmas Eve is supposed to be a time when “all is calm, all is bright,” under the surface, some of us are barely keeping it together, tonight.  And if we were asked, “So, how’s it going?”  We would put on a fake grin and say, “Oh, things are great!” even if they are not great.

It can be so hard to be vulnerable – so much so, that we will do just about anything to shield ourselves from having to be vulnerable.  We try to act tough – no sign of softness, no chinks in the armor – because we don’t want to appear weak or helpless in the slightest.  It wasn’t always this way, though.  We didn’t come out of the womb rough and tough and loaded for bear.  

Some of you know that our family welcomed a new baby boy into lives four weeks ago.  A month ago, tomorrow – when our baby boy arrived after 39 hours of labor by his heroic mother – the nurses took him, dried him off, and placed him skin-to-skin on her chest.  He had been crying, but he stopped, instantly – as soon as he felt her touch.  And then, later, he was skin-to-skin on me, his little clipped umbilical cord scratching me right here.  He had been crying when I sat down with him, but he stopped – almost like magic – as soon as he felt my touch . . . so vulnerable, so close, so quiet – my son and I could hear each other breathe . . . almost feel each other’s heartbeats.  

It might surprise some of you to hear me say this, but I don’t take my shirt off for just anybody.  People who really know me, know that I don’t even like showing off too much neck – I need my t-shirts and shirt collars to fit closely.  I almost never reveal my décolletage.  It’s just not the way I roll.  It makes me feel physically vulnerable, and I don’t like that.

But a quick internet search reveals that everyone, from the Cleveland Clinic and Stanford University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health to babygooroo.com and the Pampers diaper company extol the many virtues of taking a newborn baby and placing it directly on its parent – chest to chest, skin to skin – within moments of birth.  This closeness – this gentle and innocent intimacy – is the first thing that helps to establish a new relationship between child and parent.  

According to one study from the National Institutes of Health,  

When the newborn is placed skin-to-skin with the mother, this heightened response stimulates behaviors that help to meet the newborn’s basic biological needs, activates neuroprotective mechanisms, enables early neurobehavior self-regulation . . . [They cry less,] have enhanced cardio-respiratory stability, more stable blood glucose levels, and enhanced thermal regulation.[1]

Skin-to-skin also releases oxytocin and endorphins, which reduce stress (in both child and parent) and helps with the transition to postnatal life.  This kind of close touch enables babies to feel and smell their parents in their first moments outside the womb – and leads to happier and healthy babies and parents who are more receptive to their baby’s needs.  So even though I don’t like being vulnerable – having my shirt off in a place as foreign as a hospital room – I leapt at the chance to be vulnerable for my son.  

As we read a few minutes ago, “While they were there [in Bethlehem], the time came for her to deliver her child.  And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger. . .” (Luke 2:6-7)

Now, I’m pretty sure that Mary and Joseph never read a report from the National Institutes of Health on the benefits of skin-to-skin.  And babygooroo.com did not exist back in those days.  But Jesus wasn’t the first baby to ever be born and he sure wasn’t the last.  Human beings have been bringing babies into the world for tens of thousands of years.  

Scripture doesn’t tell us what took place in the moments between the birth and the swaddling cloths.  But having recently been present at the miraculous birth of a child, I cannot help but imagine the final push, and the first breath, and the first cry, and an exhausted new mother with a naked and new baby on her breast – smelling her, feeling the warmth of her body, hearing the rhythm of her breath, feeling the beat of her heart.

The Christmas story is not an antiseptic story.  Being born is a messy process.  When God sent Jesus into the world, it happened in the most holy – and yet, most human – way, with all of the strain, and sweat, and blood, and exhaustion of bringing a new human life into the world. And in doing so, God came to know the wonder, and beauty, and fragility of life from the very beginning – the thrill and thanksgiving of being born, and loved, and protected, by some of the very fragile and fallible human beings that God came to save.  It’s not that God didn’t know about these things, beforehand – having breathed life into creation from the very beginning – but in the incarnation, when God put on flesh and bone to dwell with us, God put on vulnerability.

There are those who would put their faith in a triumphant and powerful God and not allow for any signs of weakness at all.  But this is not the God that we come to know in Jesus Christ, whose power is made perfect in weakness – skin to skin, body and blood, heart, and mind, and soul.  We believe in a loving God – whose love is ultimately powerful and triumphant – but the essential quality of real love . . . of God’s love . . . is vulnerability, not power.  We believe in the God who has come into the world – the Word that became flesh, full of grace and truth.[2]  The eternal Word of God, from the very beginning, who spoke our fragile and vulnerable bodies into being.[3]  And, in a baby – born in a manger – God comes to abide with us, skin-to-skin . . . heartbeat to Holy heartbeat.  

God leaps at the chance to be vulnerable for us – offering us an example for how we can be vulnerable for one another.  Because life can be filled with moments in which all is calm and all is bright, but the rest of the time, we are often just struggling to keep it together.  If the past three years have taught us nothing at all, they have taught us that the world is a hard and imperfect place, and our bodies are not always immune to what the world might throw at us, and our hearts and minds are not always impervious to the stresses and strains of living here.  How could we possibly keep it all together?  No matter how well we might try to hide it, at the heart of who we are, there is brokenness and fear and grief.  And in trying to hide these things, we don’t let them out into the open, but they do come out in other ways – through violence, and mistrust, and anger, and depression, and anxiety.  

If only there was a way to bind up our broken hearts, to calm our frazzled minds, to mend our troubled spirits.  If only there was a way to feel the calming and loving touch of a loving God.  

The good news of the incarnation is that we have a vulnerable God who sees and knows us in all of our own vulnerability – all of our weakness, all our fragility.  The good news is that, in putting on flesh and blood, body and spirit – in dwelling with us – Jesus reminds us that we are not alone.  God is with us.  And in the struggles of our friends, and our family, and our neighbors, and complete strangers – it is good for them to know that they are not alone, either.  That they are loved by a vulnerable God and by God’s vulnerable people – by you and by me.

This is, in the end, one of the wonderful and Holy mysteries of the incarnation – how the loving presence of God in our lives becomes the loving presence of God in the world . . . God at work in us and through us, by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Skin-to-skin.  Human being to human being.  Loving heart to loving heart.  May our hearts and minds be vulnerable – open to the work of the Holy on us and in us and through us – this night, and always.

Let us pray. . .

Oh, holy child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray;

Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;

O come to us; abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel![4]

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Ashley and Chris started trying to conceive during summer 2018. She went off her birth control, she says, and “we got pregnant that very first cycle.” The couple felt “super excited that it happened so quickly.” (Xpress is using pseudonyms for the couple, who live in the Asheville area, to protect their privacy.) They began telling loved ones about her pregnancy and posed for a pregnancy photo shoot. “I was ready to put [the photos] in the mail as soon as we got home from an appointment” for a 12-week ultrasound and genetic testing, she says. That Friday afternoon appointment changed everything. During the scan, “I noticed the ultrasound tech was just a little bit more quiet,” Ashley recalls. The couple sat in the waiting room, “looking at the pictures of the baby, just feeling excited,” Ashley says. “Then the doctor just kind of rushes in and goes, ‘Let’s talk about these pictures,’” Ashley recounts. The physician informed them their baby had extra fluid behind its neck, and referred Ashley to a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. “I felt like I blacked out at that moment,” Ashley says. She doesn’t remember much else about that afternoon or the following weekend. The next week, Ashley and Chris found obstetrics specialists at UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University. In Ashley’s 13th week, health care providers at Duke extracted fluid from her placenta to conduct DNA testing. The couple had to wait another two weeks for the test results: Her baby, a girl, had a diagnosis of Turner syndrome, Ashley tells Xpress. “The baby didn’t just have extra fluid behind her neck; she also had it surrounding her heart, and surrounding her brain as well,” she says. Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that primarily affects females, according to the Mayo Clinic. People born with Turner syndrome may have heart defects and abnormal kidneys; if the child reaches adolescence or adulthood, she can have slow growth, shortness, stalled sexual development and struggles with conception, among other issues. Ashley says she was told, in her case, if her daughter were to survive throughout the pregnancy she’d likely require cardiac surgery upon birth, Ashley says. If she were to survive postnatal cardiac surgery, she would experience very high medical needs throughout her lifetime. “I think what really did it for us was that we didn’t want the baby to have a life of suffering,” Ashley says. “We chose to suffer so that she didn’t have to.” She calls the experience the darkest time of her life. North Carolina law requires Ashley to receive state-directed counseling and undergo a 72-hour waiting period before terminating a pregnancy. For the counseling, her nurse at Duke “had to read me a script of all my options I had instead of an abortion,” Ashley tells Xpress. “[The nurse] even apologized — she’s like, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m required by law to do this.’” The nurse informed Ashley about her options, such as raising a special needs child, and Ashley began “sobbing,” she recalls, and pulled the phone away from her ear. After the counseling, Ashley waited the required 72 hours before physicians provided an abortion at 16 weeks of pregnancy. Her loved ones knew about the pregnancy, and Ashley says some assumed she’d miscarried. “I didn’t know who was safe to say, ‘No, I didn’t miscarriage — we had to have an abortion,’” she explains. “I do remember [voicing my fears] to my husband. He [said] ‘It’s nobody else’s business!’”She adds, “And I [said] ‘I know it’s not their business. But it’s my truth.

It is despicable that Ashley had to go through this. Forced birthers, you don't have the right to do this to people. She had to make an unimaginable decision, and your opinion as to what she should have chosen is irrelevant.

All you do is cause pain and suffering.
