Honey: Health And Precautions

Honey: Health And Precautions


Today, many kinds of honey as well as honeyed preparations are available in the market. This needs to be taken into thoughtful consideration that although honey might be used with the understanding that it is better sweetener as compared to sugar. Yet, it is best to only buy raw honey (that which is unheated and minimally processed). Also, one more thing needs to be always kept in mind. In case you add honey to tea or milk, it is important to take care that you wait for the liquid to become lukewarm or at the room temperature, before adding honey to the same.

Want Health? Take Care Of Your Roots!



As per the philosophy and health insight of Ayurveda, the science of life, our body has its roots in three basic aspects –
2.    The Dhatus - Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra; or the Body tissues viz. Juice / Plasma, Blood, Muscle, Fat, Bone, Bone-Marrow and Semen.
3.    The Malas - Mootra, Pureesha and Sweda ie. the body wastes i.e. Urine, Faeces and Sweat.

How These Matter?

All these 3 – Dosha, Dhatu and Mala – together make the roots of the entire body. It has been specified that an upsurge as well as deterioration of the tree depends mainly on the roots that make it; similar experience is undergone by the body. Not only this, the influence of healthiness as well as losing wellness also exclusively depends on roots or the original support system of the tree; alike it is with the human body.


Ancient Shloka

“Dosh Dhatu Mala Moolam Hi Shareeram”

This ancient shloka indicated in Ayurveda text regards the Doshas, Dhatus and Malas as roots of the Body. And therefore, it is implicit that our health as well as losing of it, along with our bodily development as well as debility, reasons primarily into the status of our own integral roots (the body humors, body tissues and the body wastes (Video)).

Including Fat in Diet!




Although we are much conscious and aware about the extra pounds that tend to cause unwanted flab and plumpness to our basic persona, yet at the same time Ayurveda does not strictly advise "No-fat" diet. 
Rather, it has been suggested that taking Sneha (Fat) in diet is beneficial as –
·       Taking some fat in diet would keep your Agni or the gastric fire invigorated which is essential for good digestion.
·         This practice keeps the stomach cavity gently refined.
·         Enhances overall stamina in the body.
·         Skin of the individual becomes glowing with enriched skin tone.
·        All the seven body tissues become tender and renewed. These are - Juice, blood, muscle, body fat, bone, bone marrow and semen.  
·        The sense organs become fortified.
·      Not only this, taking some fat in diet (as per the need) actually benefits to keep aging at bay and the person may live on to hundred years of ripe age.
