In the wake of the plaguing issues of malnutrition and deficiency diseases, people desperately turned to fill their plates with anything and everything that’s edible. They were so concerned about not eating enough that they unconsciously dumped more food than the body can actually use. 
Eating was no more treated as a fuel for the body, it became a symbol of the status. After all, there is a thriving billion-dollar food industry that satiates more than hunger. People gobbled down the bread and pie, the snacks and drinks only to realize a decade later that it’s not just about how much you eat but what you eat and how well you eat.

Today, obesity is one of the major problems crippling healthy individuals and pushing people to the edge of their graves. It is an epidemic and the West is fighting hard, and now, soaring from diabetes to cancer, it has a long list of allies that brings a storm of turmoil in the body.

The most common and immediate trouble of overeating is indigestion which can be soothed with the magical effects of Brihatri Jeera goli, but the impacts of overeating go beyond indigestion. So, next time you fill your plate, eat only to satiate your need and not your greed!

There is hardly a soul on this mystic land who has not heard of the epic of Mahabharata. We all have literally grown up to the stories of bravery of Arjuna, strength of Bheema, wisdom of Krishna, honesty of Yudhisthira and courage of Draupadi. But the heroism of Arjuna and his sparks with Draupadi somewhere dims the true love that existed between Draupadi and her other husband Bheema.

Of all her five husbands, Bheema is the one who adored and loved her the most. Anything that Draupadi spelled was fulfilled by Bheemaunquestioned ! Be it the enchanting flower from the Kuber Garden or carrying her in the arms through dense forests, the grudge for her molestation by Keechak in Matsya kingdom or the vouch to take on 100 mighty Kauravas, Bheema was the one who stood by her through every thick and thin.

It was Bheema who vowed in the middle of the infamous courtroom to drink the blood of Dushyasana and break the thighs of Duryodhana and on the 18th day of the battle he lived by his words by doing the right justice. Only after this, Draupadi ties her hair after 15 long years.

During those 15 years of her putting her hair loose, Draupadi once suffered from the wrath of severe Dandruff. When she took up the issue to her husbands, no one except Bheema listened to her sores. He walked down the mountains and swam across rivers to reach the nearest vaidya who gave him a mystic oil along with a hair washing concoction prepared by combining the goodness of Neem, Tulsi and Ginger.

Today this combo is available in the wide spread Ayurcentral stores as Brihatri’s anti-dandruff shampoo and Dandrall oil.

Using the Ayurvedic formula just once, Draupadi hopped with joy for her beautiful tresses were once again free from the clutch of the monstrous foes. Touched by her husband’s gesture, Draupadi said, “O my beloved husband Pavan Putra Bheema, you are the only one who have given me all that a woman longs for. You have protected me every single time and stood for the humiliation I had received. I don’t know how to thank you!”

Amidst all the war and hatred, true love brewed between the two innocent souls that often go unseen for the spark was just in their hearts and deeds not out in the words. Read the epic saga once again to discover this missed angle of unconditional love.

Married bliss began a bit late for me. Busy in my corporate world I was not ready to let the saddle down and settle down for a family. So, I took the time and poured all efforts to tick my goals and make my dreams a reality. After achieving professional satisfaction I felt up and ready for some personal glory.

Married in 33 and pregnant in 37, I decided to take a short retirement for this little life to grow and learn while recharging my energies for bouncing back on the tiger’s hunt. I quit my job after my first trimester and that’s when my life took a swift turn.

With all the time through the day, I finally paused to stare at the mirror just to look at a reflection of my ignorance towards my health. Pushing the limits and compromising on care has probably added years to my face and kilos around my waist. My skin has become dull and rough and the glow is replaced with some fine lines.

I started home remedies and yoga, replenishing for the lost years and bygone days. On my regular check-ups I asked the doctor for some solution to my itching belly and ageing skin. The doctor recommended me to use a good herbal lotion for avoiding stretch marks and soothing the itching. She urged me to try herbal solutions from Ayurveda as it comes with natural ingredients and no harsh impacts on the skin.

I browsed the net and searched the galleries and finally picked Brihatri Moisturizing lotion for its natural ingredients, soothing smell and perfect functionalities that I was looking for. It worked magic on my skin, my stretch marks lightened and itching was gone. It does not cause breakouts and hydrates my skin like nothing else I have ever used.

It is a clinically proven moisturizing lotion that reduces the signs of ageing. The fine lines disappeared and the dark spots vanished, The stretch marks lightened and my skin looked young and radiant.

Try Brihatri Moisturizing Lotion for a smooth cover to your skin that protects you from dawn to dusk, It is available across multiple stores of AyurvCentral in the city.

Back in the early 1990’s when I was probably 5 or 6, we used to visit our grannies very often. During the Diwali and the summer vacations or any special occasion, even we would hop down anytime in the long weekends. Life was slow and peaceful untouched by the drag of digitalization and worries of the modern world. 
Earnings were less, but our necessities were also less. We used to be happy with every little thing we got. Going to our grannies, playing in the mud with my cousins, listening to the endless stories, it was just fun unlimited.

We used to complete over our lunch and dinner because our grandmother had this little box that contained delicious golis and we would gobble everything just to get that sweat and salty punch of Anardhana Goli. It was simply irresistible.

So, when my wife brought this pack of Brihatri Anardhana Goli from her happy store, AyurCentral, I could not resist the urge to open it and pop one. As the taste melted in my tongue, tickling my taste buds, I felt like traversing through times to that carefree era once again.

Brihatri Anardhana Goli has many benefits and that’s why grannie used to give it to us every day after lunch and dinner. But I was too immersed in its taste to care for its benefits, it came to me as a bonanza.

Christmas passed fast, ringing the bells of a new year in the folds. While the whole world must be busy planning and partying, here I was all alone scratching my head drowning in the burial of my awful white flakes.

The scalp scratchy and head itchy and the visible patches could be seen through the partitions of my hair. Dry scalp and dandruff have always been my problem but this time the aggravated scene has just snatched the peace of my head.

Being an art teacher, my profession demands that I maintain the balance and continue the stroke of my brushes without any break or distraction. So, on the first day of this New Year, I decided to get it over for once and all.

I walked down the road and visited the salon to chop off my lush mane. My hair was a part of my identity, sticking the pencil on my loosely tucked hair, lightly fondling the hair, pushing it on the back of my hair, but I had to let it all go before the damage gets too bad to reverse.

As I sat there on the salon chair with my heart aching and eyes teary, the hairstylist approached with his kit of tools. He looked at me and asked me if I was ok. In a breaking voice, I urged him to chop off my hair as short as possible.

Touching my tresses, checking the lustrous strands the hairstylist asked me why I wanted it so short. I bluntly lied that I get no time to care for all this hair on my head. He took a closer look and said the heart wrecking words, “Mam, you have dandruff”.

The tear fell off my cheeks and I broke into tears saying that it’s the reason I am chopping it off. The hairdresser suggested me just to trim my hair and dandruff shall be taken care off with a safe and effective Ayurvedic treatment using Dandrall oil and Brihatri Anti-dandruff shampoo.

Even at the bleakest of the hope I changed my decision and started the Ayurvedic treatment from the same day. In just three applications my scalp cleared and the scratching is calmed. The combo of Dandrall oil and Brihatri Anti-dandruff shampoo not just cleared the flakes but also nourished my hair and strengthened the strands.

I definitely recommend AyurvedicDandrall oil and Brihatri Anti Dandruff Shampoo for anyone with dandruff problems. The organic combo is widely available across all Ayurcentral stores.

What’s better than a scrumptious meal followed by the perfectly crafted Banarasi paan? My father is an obsessive ‘paan’ aficionado. He just cannot do without it! In fact, he has this little silver betel nut box that travels with him all the time.

Though betel nut or paan is a great mouth freshener that leaves a good taste and flavour in the mouth, it is notoriously unhealthy. From staining the teeth to causing constipation, the little nut can crack your system completely.

The WHO classifies betel nut as a carcinogen. In fact, the high risk of cancer in Assam is largely associated with the heavy use of betel nut. It also has an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
It can further cause anaemia, kidney stone and high blood pressure. Who could imagine so much havoc can be caused by a little nut. Even I was not aware of this long list of risks. I stumbled upon these facts while researching for an article on cancer in north-east India. And the facts left me trembling.

I rushed to my father’s room and threw the betel nuts out of the window. But the next day he got new stocks. Of course, he was pissed at me. After a few failed attempts, I tried to replace his habit of chewing paan with something more healthy and less dangerous.
My grandmother has this bottle of Brihatri jeera goli which she takes daily after lunch, a great digestive and a good mouth freshener. So, I took out the betel nuts and replaced it with a few Jeera Goli.

The jeera goli tasted awesome and I told him about the health benefits of jeera goli and the hazards of betel nut. He understood my point and now that silver case is filled with yummyBrihatri jeera golis that he proudly shares with his friends and visitors.

They say a mother knows everything, but does a mother really know everything? From my sixteen years of experience in this area, I can definitely say that there is a lot that a mother may not know. She has her fair share of doubts and worries, mistakes and sorries.

There is no magic spell that could embark the wisdom of motherhood to a young maiden in a day or for that matter in nine months. It’s all about learning and evolving all along through the way. With my first kid, I knew nothing about breast feeding and battled for five days to get each drop to feed the new born. While I felt all equipped, experienced, prepared and ready for my second born, he bluntly refused to drink my milk.

There is no one way to ascertain this journey of motherhood but all we can do is persistently try and improve to give the best we can. These are little things we do that makes a mother the idol she is, like even though the market was all in hype about the baby food I stood by AyurvedicKhichdi for my infants until 3 years. Their three time meal was rice and moong dal boiled with lots of veggies. This is something they even love today!

Similarly, I switch the snacks and biscuits by fruits and nuts. These little things matter a lot in developing the health and habits of a young child. The soap in my house is often a pack of besan and dahi or neem and aloe ; similarly the moisturizer is always Brihatri moisturizing lotion.

These natural products and ingredients not just caress their skin but protect it from all the wear and tear . Whether you call it going back to our ancestors or a traditional way of raising my kids but these tricks has definitely worked magic for their skin, immunity, brain development and overall well being.

So, though I don’t know everything about doing it right but I know for sure that sticking close to nature as far as possible is a boon for my kids. The natural ingredients are easy to make and safe to use and you can also buy Ayurvedic products like Brihatri moisturizing lotion from your nearest AyurCentral stores.

Give your child the best care of nature.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

This is one powerful statement that I religiously follow. While some might infer this statement as a great piece of philosophy that speaks of good deeds turning a foe into admirer but I personally think this to be a subtle hint to the power of words. It’s the words that can cause more damage than the most powerful weapons.

I can say this with such certainty for I know the tyranny the words can cause in one’s head. I have been on the receiving side of the debacle for long enough to know what damage words and actions can cause.

The recent incident that caused an outburst in me was during one of my painting classes. The painting class was my place of zen where I let my thoughts flow and brush follow. I just love the splashes of colour and the feel of creating an art on a blank page.

After the class, as we were talking in our round-table conference kind of group gossip, my so-called friend leaned forward, reached to me and twitched the tiny flakes off my shoulders. She then citing some fake concern she said, “Arey, Don’t you wash your hair? You have got so much dandruff. It’s bad for the hair”.

The whole group stared at me with a dirty glance of shame and I could hardly gather myself to come up with a reply. It was devastating to be shamed and shunned. It’s the dirty games of politics that people play. Just like the U.S President brushed off the dandruff on Emmanuel Macron, the French leader’s coat.

It was no friendship or concern but just a way to demean the other. I felt sad and depressed and cried the whole way back. Looking at my misery my mother immediately took me to her Ayurvedic expert who recommended Dandrall oil and Brihatri Anti-dandruff shampoo to get a clear scalp.

He also counselled me for a bit to build my shattered confidence and to make me understand that it does not matter what others say, do or think. It’s my way of response and not their poor taste of judgement that would define me.

I got the dandrall oil and Brihatri Anti Dandruff shampoo from my nearest Ayurcentral store and just after first three washes, my scalp got all clear.

The filth of my flakes was gone but the filth in people’s mind still bothers me a lot.

Body Moisturizer 

–  AnAyurvedic doctor’s perspective

 Body moisturizing is definitely a vital thing for the skin to glow and sustain the wrath of ageing, pollution and all the foes of our skin. As such it is very important to protect the skin with a thin sheath that could shield the skin while locking the hydration of the skin. Just like a day cannot go without drinking water, it shall not pass without moisturizing the skin. It is very important to keep the skin hydrated and protected. A good moisturizer not just helps with instant glorification but it shall come with long term benefits and capability of sustaining the elasticity till eternity.

While many may think that moisturizing is just a woman’s thing or it is meant for a girl’s beauty kit, but according to science, a man’s skin tends to be more rough and dry which requires regular care to keep it healthy in the long run. Moisturizing prevents the skin from losing its lustre and further prevents several skin problems ranging from itching and redness to soothing eczema and psoriasis.

So, whether you are a man or woman, girl or boy, or just a toddler, a good moisturizer enriched with natural ingredients is a must have at all times. Though generally people follow the principle of moisturizing their skin once daily but the ideal recommendation is using it every time it gets washed away for washing your hands, swiping your face or cleansing the skin.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion  is something I widely recommend to my patients for skin care as it is clinically tested and proven for cell regeneration and toned complexion. It promotes youthfulness and radiance while restoring the texture and quality of skin. A day after using facial lotion you’ll find skin is smoother, softer, and fresher-looking.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion  has proven benefits for the skin even over the long haul. It offers huge anti-ageing benefits. It delays the signs of ageing by combating the development of wrinkles. Brihatri moisturizing lotion is an emollient and brightening formula that also fights inflammation.  It is definitely that one secret from the lap of Ayurveda that can literally change any skin.

Leaving the exam hall finishing the last paper in a hurry, I rushed out to grab my mother’s phone and call my cousins to fix the date for the exciting and much awaited cousin’s night over. I wanted to talk about the cute guy in my class, to play the new games my father got me from faraway seas and the most amazing part is staying awake till late in the night fighting and talking.

The date was fixed it was day after tomorrow and I had so much to prepare. The bed in my room was too small to accommodate the five of us. So, I argued and showed every tantrum to get a bunker in my room, so that we all could sleep together.

After much negotiation I got my deals and finally my cousins’ arrived for all the fun in store. We had pizza and noodles and some more amazing snacks all ordered in. After the food round we started playing some games but I lost all of it for I could not keep my hand of my head.

My head was itching so bad that I felt like scratching all around. My sister noticed it and asked if I had lice. I immediately responded no and that it was because my hair was tied for so long.

Then she extended her hand and got the tiny monster crawling in my flicks. It was lice. I knew I had dandruff but lice! I did not even know that I had lice. Probably I got it from the girl who sat next to me during the exams.

Everyone was so disgusted that they cancelled the night out plan because they don’t want to sleep with lice head and get the itchy monsters. I cried a lot but to no vain.

My mother felt very sorry, she knew how excited I was. She took me to an Ayurvedic store Ayurcentral and the doctor there recommended lice oil, dandrall oil to be used alternative days along with Brihatri anti dandruff shampoo.

After just three applications my head was clean of the lice and dandruff but the sorrow in my heart shall never be filled!
