Weight Loss with Ayurveda

Posted by on Feb 3, 2015 in Weight Loss | 0 comments

Despite the fact that people try diet upon diet, gimmicks, exercises, and fads, obesity has become a modern Western disease of major proportions. Over 60% of North Americans are 15 pounds or more over their optimum weight. Obesity shortens life, restricts mobility, decreases enjoyment, reduces attractiveness (less sex), lowers self-esteem, and diminishes awareness. Given all this, why is our culture seemingly uncontrollably overweight? What can Ayurveda do about it?

Ayurveda sees four major factors contributing to the problem: (1) over-abundance, (2) toxins, (3) sedentary lifestyles, and (4) failure of the intellect. The ancient science of Ayurveda has tried and true answers to this modern dilemma.

Ayurveda is the 5,000 year old “Science of Life”. It is an all-inclusive science, encompassing every facet of living. It began with ancient Holy men so connected to the Divine that the deepest truths were accessible to them. They then made these truths available to all beings, first through an oral history and later through written texts.

Ayurveda was the world’s first medical system. It used food, surgery, herbs, exercise, and meditation to bring the sick back into harmony. Ayurveda is the only medical system which recognizes that different people have different metabolisms. Ayurveda treats each “bodytype” differently. “One man’s food is another man’s poison”, observed Hippocrates, the father of Greek medicine. Dr. Deepak Chopra has created an enormous awareness of this medical system through his best selling books, tapes, and personal appearances.

Ayurveda distinguishes three main bodytypes:

Vata (air)
Pitta (Fire)
Kapha (water-earth)
-Thin framed
-Variable digestion
-Difficulty gaining weight
-Holds weight around
-Medium framed
-Strong digestion
-Can gain or lose weight easily
-Gains weight evenly
-Large framed
-Slow digestion
-Difficulty loosing weight
-Gains weight in hips and
the middle especially in chest thighs

Balance is Health

Posted by on Jun 8, 2012 in Chiropractic Care | 0 comments

We all know that balance is important to health. Activity needs to be balanced with rest. Concern needs to be balanced with not caring. In the area of the musculo-skeletal system the left side of the joint needs to be in balance with the right side of the joint. Both musculature and connective tissue can become more tired on one side of the joint, causing malfunction, irritation, inflammation, and pain. The knee is a perfect example of a joint that is highly susceptible to imbalances of musculature. The quadriceps muscle is a group of 4 muscles that work to extend the knee. Often, the medial or the lateral muscle in this group can become hypertensive resulting in misalignment, and wear and tear on the knee itself. Over time, this can worsen, causing the individual to seek help from a professional. In our office, we assess the knee orthopedically for stability of the ligaments and the integrity of associated structures such as the menisci. If findings in this area are unremarkable we next check the muscles of the quad group, and often find one side hypertensive, tender, and reactive. Treatment in this area with trigger point therapy relieves the muscle spasm returning the knee to balance. A chiropractic adjustment of the knee joint reinforces proper alignment. The patient is instructed in appropriate exercises and stretch in for the muscle groups of the knee. A holistic appraisal of the individual general lifestyle can detect any contributing factors to general health issues. An assessment of the arches of the foot may reveal the need for orthotic support. A majority of knee pain patients respond favorably to this very simple and straightforward approach.
