Sir, I have read that left hand cures right part of body and vice versa…as in our mind also…right side of mind controls left part of body and left part of mind controls right part of body..

Dear Friend
This is really very useful and educative. Even our Hindu Gods whatever depicting will have some Mudra. As a matter of fact we are not at all aware of the symbols. But after knowing the name, purpose and cure of diseases one side we can make use of it and another side how our ancestors are genius and doing the medical knowledge. On 22 Nov 2010 Indian Express I have read an article about the spices we are using for cooking our regular food. It also gives a lot of Medicinal effects plays in our life, which I have given below.
A herb is “a friend of physicians and the praise of cooks”. Herbs and spices have been used historically owing to their aroma, flavour and preservative properties. They have also been well known for their therapeutic benefits
Knowledge of their healing power dates back to thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians prescribed coriander, fennel, juniper, cumin, garlic and thyme, cardamom, mint. Greeks and Romans used herbs more than spices. Chinese often used herbs and spices - Ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, galangal, nutmeg and cinnamon. In traditional Indian medicine, herbs and spices were used for various ailments: turmeric for jaundice, basil to protect the heart, mace for stomach infections, cinnamon to stimulate circulation, and ginger as the universal medicine and relieving nausea and indigestion. Many of these herbs and spices are still being used in for their therapeutic benefits and modern science has documented several of these.
What make herbs and spices so special are their high antioxidant concentrations. It is still not very clear how these constituents work in the body, however, they certainly possess anti-oxidant, cholesterol lowering, anti-clotting, anti-hypertensive (lowering blood pressure), anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, decongesting, hypoglycaemic and even immune-boosting properties. Given the long history of use of herbs and spices, they may be considered one of the first ever recorded functional foods. Cardio-protective benefits have been documented in several herbs and spices. Garlic is loaded with nearly 100 active compounds. The most important of these is Allicin, a sulphur-containing compound.
Research has shown that garlic exhibits a cardio-protective role by helping to lower blood cholesterol, especially the undesirable fraction of serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and serum fat. Eating half a clove of garlic a day may lower blood cholesterol by 9 per cent, provided it is taken regularly.The anti-clotting and antihypertensive properties have been attributed predominantly to allicin. Cinnamon, ginger, chili (capsaicin) and turmeric (curcumin) have also been associated with a decrease in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and an increase in HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels. Several herbs have been found to have anti-cancer properties. These include turmeric, garlic, basil, rosemary, mint and lemon grass.Several studies have found that turmeric possesses chemo-preventive effects against cancers of the skin, stomach, liver and colon, and oral cancer.
According to decade-long research at National Nutrition Institute, Hyderabad, a teaspoon of haldi a day can keep cancer at bay and it not only can prevent cancer, but may even be useful in reversing it. Sulphur compounds found in garlic increases the production of detoxification enzymes that help break down cancer-causing compounds and toxins and enhance their removal from the body. Garlic has also been shown to protect against liver, lung and breast cancer. Research has shown that consuming on an average of six or more cloves a week lowers the risk of colorectal cancer by 30 per cent and stomach cancer by 50 per cent. Inflammation has been associated with arthritis, asthma, ulcers and other conditions such as those of the skin, pulmonary, systems, aches, pains, wounds, and sprains
Natural anti-inflammatory herbs include turmeric, milk thistle herb, ginger and chilli. A study showed that turmeric worked in relieving pain and stiffness in arthritis patients as a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Garlic also reduces inflammation by blocking the formation of agents (prostaglandins) that induce it. Liquorice (mulathi) possesses anti-inflammatory properties and provides protection against asthma, chest problems and mouth ulcers. Herbs have been used in the treatment of diabetes for years.
Spices beneficial in the treatment of diabetes include fenugreek seeds, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and turmeric. Fenugreek seeds contain trigonelline and are a rich source of fibre (50 per cent), which have anti-diabetic properties. Fenugreek seeds should not be consumed raw -- they are better taken soaked or powdered.Herbs and spices usually do not cause side effects, but in sensitive people they may cause allergic symptoms. Herbs do not always show the same health benefits when the active substance is isolated from food and ingested as a pure compound. So, spice up your life, tickle your taste buds and boost your health.

Dear Kavitha
Yes, we will definitely practice them.
Please let us have one more clarification:
"Whether these mudras to be practiced lifting the hands up (i.e. to shoulder level) or resting on legs while sitting or as you like !! "

Kavita,
I'm a heavy smoker.. I don't do any of these Asana's but when it comes to running, i can outrun even a person who has been practicing yoga for a long time (provied that person is about 90 years old.. LOL... )...
I'm not sure if it works... if doing an asan for 60 minutes in a day was to help us, very few ppl would be sick today...
we would not be required to pay the doctors 5,00,000 to 40,00,000/-
I don't believe in Yoga, Meditation, Reki.... what I believe in is "Belief"..
for someone who practices "Yoga" and does not believe in its healing power will never be able to understand the full benefits...
for someone who does not believe in "GOD" will deny the exitance if the Almighty himself/ herself (depending....) came down / up (depending where the Almighty stays)
I have a lot to say but short of time... :(

Dear Mr Jitendra Patil
- Just for words sake, you say you dont believe in meditation, reikhi, yoga, etc...
- But you believe that you can outrun a person who has practiced yoga when it comes to running - very good - at least you believe in yourself !!
- It all came to you because you practiced it or it got habituated to you
- One may begin anything without a belief. But one has to believe in himself and then
- when you are sick, you go to a doctor and without questioning you believe whatever the medicines he gives is OK for you - doesn't it look strange ??
- Belief is one's own choice
- When you believe, you develop trust in it
- when you trust, there is some life
- when there is life and trust, many things happen;
- Whether it is the execises given in this post or anything, BEGIN, experiment and then take it
- WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING AND BLINDLY REJECTING AND SAYING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING IS SIMPLY AN UNCIENTIFIC APPROACH
- Experiment and then come to conclusion
- Why people do not take these simple execises, practices seriously is that SIMPLE THINGS DO NOT ATTRACT PEOPLE; PEOPLE WANT COMPLEX OPERATIONS !!! TRUTH IS ALWAYS SIMPLE; BUT PEOPLE WANT COMPLEX WAYS !! THAT IS THE FATE !!
- Strange is this world and the people !!!
