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!

Apart from the usual chaos of a Bank Manager’s job, my life was entangled by two major crunches – dry skin and hyperosmia i.e. intolerance to smell. Both these devils entered my life in my twenties and were immune to all my knacks and hacks.

Neither the pills nor the ointments could soothe either of my woes. Though I tried homemade remedies and Ayurvedic techniques but honestly all the long and tiring formulations were too strenuous to continue for more than one week or mostly a fortnight.

Even the aisle of the mammoth malls and colossal stores could not offer me a small bottle of relief. Either the moisturizer did not suit my skin or it dries off in some time or it’s too oily to get absorbed or the smell would be too strong to endure. Somehow or the other the cycle of my agony kept repeating itself signing the same song of whine and gripe.

Being in a position of Manager my skin replicated my confidence and the dryness makes it itchy and scaly ripping every bit of grit I had to shine in the role. I felt the dire need of a miracle solution and discussed the same with my wife. She immediately suggested me to try Ayurveda and I bluntly replied that all that hard work and beauty efforts are not my cup of tea.

My wife laughed at my laziness and handed me her bottle of Brihatri moisturizing lotion and said, “Smell it”. I was a bit skeptical as she could give me a good headache with a strong smell for something I said wrong. But then she made that genuine face and I took the risk.

The moisturizing lotion was plain mild scented that suited well to my hyperosmia nose and the natural ingredients and thick formulation kept my skin soft and supple throughout the day. Though they say, carrying a moisturizing lotion in the bag is not a man’s thing but Brihatri  moisturizing lotion is one thing that made me break stereotypes and carry the bottle close to my heart.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion is  widely available across all AyurCentral stores. Their in-house doctor also helps in getting the best skin-care solution specifically targeted for your unique skin type.

So, if you tick any of the following, then probably you are hurting your manhood !

1. Lack of Proper sleep

Sleep deprivation can cause a man’s testosterone level to drop considerably which may lead to erectile dysfunction.

2. Alcohol and Drug Abuse

Alcohol and drug abuse can kill sexual desire, deter performance, lower sperm count and can even result in erectile dysfunction.

Smoking damages blood vessels which may stop the blood  flow to the penis resulting in erectile dysfunction

4. Obesity

Obesity not only deters performance and spoils mood but it also results in lower level of testosterone which apparently causes erectile dysfunction.

Mental illness unlike a physical wound drags one through the darkest of tunnels filled with scariest thoughts and aghast fears without giving even the slightest hint to the outside world.

Today, when I look back into that daunting space of darkness I feel sometimes it’s the little things that we hear as a child and believe with all innocence cause much deeper impact than ever intended.

For me it all started pretty early in my childhood when my parents used the most common way of getting things done from a child; telling stories of the spooky ghosts and wicked monsters.

The fear got deeply planted in my heart so much that I never slept alone or stepped in darker rooms or went to the loo at night. The fear took another turn when I had to step out of my parent’s cocoon for pursuing further studies.

The new start of my independent life came to a crashing halt as I was smacked down to pieces with the worst of my fears stuck to my face. Everything shattered in a split second when one day I came back to see my roommate hung to the ceiling.

The very sight took my words away as I stood there gasping for some air. Days passed, months rolled and even a year went by, but I sit still wide awake all night long drenched in sweat and clenched by fear. My grades sloped down pathetically, my body felt exhausted, the heart raced through the beats yet there was plain silence on my face.

Burying all the fear and anxiety deep within, I started to get spontaneous panic attack and anxiety issues. That’s when I decide to confide in an expert!

I went to my Ayurvedic doctor, who also treated me for irregular menstruation and opened up about all the things messing with my head. The very feel of splitting the words took the load off my chest making me relieved and calm.

The doctor counselled me and prescribed Mentace tablet for 3 months. The medicines worked amazing in calming my senses and relaxing my anxiety issues and for the deep-rooted fear I went through a course of counselling that finally freed me from the curse.

Many times harm is done without intending to harm, so it’s very important to be more cautious to check what we plant in a child’s head !
