[www.keralites.net] STORY OF AN EAGLE

Once upon a time there was a large mountain side where there an eagle's nest rested. The eagle nest contains four large eagle eggs.

Â One day an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain, to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The chickens knew that they must protect and care for the eagle's egg, so an old hen volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg.
One day the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken.
The eagle did what the other chicken did. It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and crackled. It never flew more than a few feet because that is what the other chickens did. The eagle loved his home and family but his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day he looked to the skies above and noticed an eagle soaring gracefully and majestically in the skies.
He asked the chickens: "what is that beautiful bird?'
the chickens replied, "That is an eagle. He is an outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him because you are just a chicken."
So the eagle never gave it a second thought, believing that to be truth. He lived the life of and died as a chicken depriving himself of his heritage because of lack of vision.
What a waste! He was born to win but conditioned to lose.
The same thing is true for most people. The unfortunate part of life is as Oliver Wendall Holmes said, " We don't achieve excellence because our own lack of vision."
Don't let negative people drag you down. Remember that a person's character is not only judged by the company they keep but also by the company they avoid.

[www.keralites.net] 14 Home Remedies for Arthritis and Joint Pain

14 Home Remedies for Arthritis & Joint Pain

arthritis and joint painWe take the freedom of movement for granted, until it becomes limited. The cause of this for many people comes in the form of arthritis, or the inflammation of one or more of your joints. There are two main kinds, osteo and rheumatoid, both of which affect the joint in different ways. Osteo arthritis is when the cartilage between bones wears down, until bone grates on bone. Rheumatoid is little less straightforward, being caused by an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the synovial membrane (a soft tissue that protects joints in the body) and that can lead to bone loss. Whichever you experience, there are natural remedies for arthritis to manage the pain and ease the symptoms.
1. Turmeric & Ginger Tea
Turmeric and ginger are both anti-inflammatorys, and will help with oseto and rheumatoid arthritis. Turmeric in particular has gotten a lot of attention lately. Its active ingredient is something called curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant. In addition, it lowers the levels of 2 enzymes responsible for causing inflammation (which is what we're often fighting with arthritis.) You can take these in a capsule form or make a nice spicy tea to enjoy daily.
You will need…
-2 cups of water
-1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
-Honey to taste

Directions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, and had ½ teaspoon each ground ginger and ground turmeric. Reduce to a simmer and let it be for 10-15 minutes. Strain, add honey to taste, and enjoy twice daily. This yields 2 servings.

2. Epsom salt soak
Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate which sounds kind of scary, but it's really quite a wonderful substance. A naturally occurring mineral, magnesium sulfate has been used to get relief from pain for years, namely because of its high levels of magnesium (more on magnesium below.)
You will need…
-1/2 cup of Epsom salt
-A large bowl
-Warm water
Directions
Fill a large bowl with warm water and add ½ cup of Epsom salt. Stir it around, and then submerge your sore joints in the liquid. If you are experiencing pain in a less convenient place to soak, such as your knees, try taking a bath with Epsom salts. Run a tub full of warm water and add 2 cups of Epsom salt. Soak for 15 minutes (at least.)

3. Get more magnesium (seriously.)
Magnesium is something our bodies need, but we can't make it ourselves. It is used in over 300 different biomechanical responses in our body. It relaxes all our muscles and nerve endings, relieving stiffness and pain. It is even part of what makes our heart beat. Not only does it relax muscles and ease pain (this goes for arthritis pain too, of course) it helps bones to mineralize. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conducted one of many studies on magnesium that showed people who had a diet high in magnesium/took supplements had higher bone density, and overall stronger bones. There are several ways to get more magnesium and utilize it for arthritis in particular.
magnesium supplements
Supplements: Magnesium capsules are a good thing to add to your day-to-day life, but they work best when used in conjunction with an improved diet.
Diet: Really this is the clincher-as great as supplements are, they can't do everything. Eat foods that are high in magnesium, which include dark leafy greens (like spinach), nuts, and legumes (beans.)
Oil: There is magnesium oil that can be applied topically and absorbed through the skin. Try rubbing it on sore joints to relieve pain.

4. Lubricate With Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The very consistency of olive oil makes it seem like something that would lubricate your joints and ease arthritis pain, and it turns out, it actually does. A main compound in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) called oleocanthal inhibits inflammatory enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, just like Advil or aspirin does. The study showed that 1 ½ tablespoons is equal to 200-mg of ibuprofen. However, not every oil is created equal. Heat destroys oleocanthal, so it is necessary to use extra virgin olive oil or "cold-pressed." The ripeness of the olives at the time they were pressed also determines the level of oleocanthal-generally the stronger tasting the oil, the higher the level there is present. It can be taken internally to reap the benefits, but being high in calories consider replacing any fats, such as butter, with it in cooking instead.
You will need…
-2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Rub a bit of olive oil onto your sore joints twice a day, massaging in to each one gently. You can also take 2-3 tablespoons daily, but be sure to give up some other form of fat due to the high calorie count in the oil (rest easy, these are good calories.)

5. Dandelion Leaves
Incredibly high in vitamins A and C, dandelion leaves can help repair damaged tissue and help the liver clear toxins out of the blood. Studies, although limited, have also shown anti-inflammatory properties due to the linoleic and linoleic acid in them. Linoleic is an essential fatty acid required by the body to produce prostaglandin-which basically regulates immune responses and suppresses inflammation. Because of its involvement with immune responses, dandelion shows great potential when it comes to treating rheumatoid arthritis in particular. You can enjoy dandelion leaves in nice salad, or brew tea with them.
You will need…
-3 teaspoons of fresh dandelion leaves, or 1 teaspoon of dried
-1 cup of boiling water
-A handful of fresh leaves (if making a salad)
-A dash of extra virgin olive oil (if making a salad)
Directions
For fresh dandelion tea, step 3 teaspoons of fresh leaves or 1 teaspoon dried in 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink twice daily. Dandelion tea is very bitter…you have been warned! You can add honey to sweeten it up if you'd like. To make a salad, simply toss the greens in with another recipe, or eat them plain with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Older leaves can be gently sautéed to soften them up a bit.

6. Blackstrap Molasses Drink
High in valuable minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, blackstrap molasses has been a cherished home remedy for arthritis for a number of years. Blackstrap molasses is what remains after the 3rd boiling of sugar syrup, and is nothing like the nutrient lacking refined sugars used today. As a dietary supplement (easily consumed as a drink) blackstrap can help relieve symptoms of arthritis and joint pain, thanks to its vital constituents that regulate nerve and muscle function, and strengthen bones.
You will need…
-1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses
-1 cup of warm water
Directions
Heat 1 cup of fresh water until warm, but not hot. Stir in a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses and drink once daily. Do note that it can sometimes have a laxative effect.
molasses drink
7. White Willow Tea (the original aspirin)
Before there was aspirin, and I mean way before aspirin, there was white willow bark. The Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about it all the way back in 5th century BC. It wasn't until 18-something or other (1829, I believe) that it was found that white willow was so effective because it contained an active ingredient called salicin. Salicin is converted in the body into salicylic acid-similar to acetyl salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin. But because the naturally occurring salicin is converted after it passed through the stomach, it resulted in less irritation/side effects. While it can be taken in a capsule form, I usually opt for the tea version of just about everything.
You will need…
-2 teaspoons of powdered or chipped white willow bark
-1 cup of water
-Honey or lemon to taste
Directions
Bring 1 cup (8 oz.) of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add 2 teaspoons of powdered or chipped white willow bark and let it infuse for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for 30 more minutes. Drink twice daily-it's bitter, so honey and lemon are usually welcome here.
white willow bark tea joint pain remedy
8. Exercise
When it's painful and difficult just to move, the last thing you feel like doing is getting up and exercising. As unpleasant as it may sound though, exercise is vital for those who suffer from any form of stiffness, joint pain, or arthritis. Exercise will help control weight (an excess of which puts more strain on your joints) strengthens the muscles that support the joint, even when the cartilage is thinning, and lubricates the joints, allowing them to move more freely. When we are inactive the synovial fluid in the joints is the consistency of a thick gel, but once we get moving and warming up, the liquid becomes more viscous and can do a better job of lubricating our joints and keeping them going smoothly. Just imagine if you were to be sedentary every day, pretty soon you'd be so stiff it'd be just about impossible to move. But if you get up and move around every day, you'll get stronger and will loosen up as well..
Try…
-Going for a brisk walk-start with 15 minutes and work your way up into a solid daily routine.
-Doing joint-targeted exercises-certain stretches and exercises specifically target joints to help rid them of stiffness and pain.
-Getting a dog-doing so backs up the first point, because you'll have no choice but to walk!

9. Peppermint Eucalyptus Oil Blend
Peppermint and eucalyptus don't change the course of the arthritis itself, but they do have analgesic, or pain-relieving, properties. The cooling sensation that they produce can temporarily override your discomfort, and create a soothing sensation that can ease the pain of arthritis.
You will need…
-5-10 drops of Peppermint oil
-5-10 drops of Eucalyptus oil
-1-2 tablespoons of carrier oil (olive, almond, grape seed, etc.)
-A small dark glass bottle
Directions
Blend 5-10 drops of eucalyptus and peppermint oil together, and then mix into 1-2 tablespoons of carrier oil. Carrier oil is needed to dilute the essential oil so that it does not irritate the skin, and can be olive oil, grapeseed oil, or something of the like (not oil.) Store the oil blend in dark glass bottle away from direct sunlight, and rub into your joints when they ache.
essential oils for joint pain
10. Juniper Berry Tea
A 2009 research trial published in the "Journal of Ethnopharmacology" found that juniper berries do indeed help with arthritis pain thanks to a component called terpinen-4-ol. Terpene suppresses a type of white blood cells called monocytes which, as a part of our immune system, respond to signals of inflammation. In rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks normal joint tissue for no reason, leading to inflammation, pain, and loss of function. If taken daily, juniper may be able to reduce the uncomfortable inflammation thanks to its terpene content. Only prickly juniper and common juniper varieties were effective.
Note: Do NOT drink juniper berry tea while pregnant.
You will need…
-1 tablespoon of dried juniper berries
-1 cup of fresh water
-Honey (optional)
Directions
Bring 1 cup of fresh water to a boil, and place 1 tablespoon of dried juniper berries in a mug. Pour the boiling water over the berries and let them steep for 20 minutes before straining. Drink 1 cup twice daily, and add honey to taste if you like.
juniper berry tea
11. Golden Raisins & Gin
First off I am not recommending that you go and drink gin, but I thought this was an interesting old home remedy for arthritis. Gins flavor is derived from juniper berries (see #11 for a more in depth explanation of juniper berries) which contain anti-inflammatory properties. Golden raisins (only golden can be used in this recipe) require sulfides in their processing to give them their characteristic color. Sulfides are found in both glucosamine and chondroitin, which many people have found to be helpful remedies for arthritis. This remedy stretches back at least 20 years, and some people swear by it, while others have had limited success.
You will need…
-Around 1/2 cup of gin
-1 cup of golden raisins
-a shallow dish
Directions
The amounts will vary depending on how big of a batch you are making, but basically you just need raisins and enough gin to just cover them, and the above amounts are just to give a general guideline. I am one of those people who, even if it is a loosely interpreted recipe, like to have some numbers to start with. Anyways, place 1 cup of golden raisins in a shallow dish, and pour in enough gin to just barely cover them. Cover with a towel and store them away in a dark place until the gin has evaporated (around 2 weeks.) Eat 9 of the raisins daily, keeping in mind the results may take several weeks to show.
12. Bosweilla supplements
Also known as Frankincense, Bosweilla is a flowering plant native to Africa and Asia. The gum resin or extract of the plant works as an anti-inflammatory and pain-killer. It works against inflammation by 'disabling' white blood cells that would cause swelling, and also helps shrink tissue that has already become inflamed and painful. I am afraid I don't have a tea recipe for this one, as it is generally taken in a tablet supplement form, much like a vitamin. It is sold at many health stores and online, and is fairly reasonably priced compared to what some other supplements cost.

13. Pectin & Grape Juice
Pectin is a water soluble carbohydrate substance found in the cell walls of plants, where it helps keep cell walls together, and gives fruit firmness as it ripens. It is extracted from fruit to use as a setting in jams and jellies, and has become popular as a home remedy for arthritis when combined with grape juice. It has been tentatively hypothesized that it helps return the synovial tissue to a more elastic and lubricated state, which results in pain-free movement. Despite the fact that more studies are needed on pectin and connective tissue many people have found, for whatever reason, great relief from their arthritis with it. The grape juice is the liquid of choice due to the fact that it can help with inflammation.
You will need…
-1 tablespoon of liquid pectin
-8 oz. of grape juice
Directions
Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid pectin with 8 oz. of grape juice and drink 1-2 times daily. It will take a week or two for the effects to show.
grape juice and certo for arthritis
14. Cayenne 'Capsaicin' Ointment
A common OTC pain reliever for joint pain contains capsaicin, a component in hot peppers that inhibits something called Substance P. Substance P is involved in transmitting pain signals to our brain, and when the capsaicin interferes with it, it minimizes the alert to the discomfort, and therefore the discomfort itself. It has been one of the more effective topical treatments for arthritis, and you can make your own at home with humble cayenne. Keep in mind, however, that it is only a temporary fix and should be used sparingly if possible.

Hold My Hand... ✋
A little girl was walking along a path with her father when they came to a treacherous section. Instinctively the father stretched out his hand to his daughter and said; "Here hold my hand."
The daughter replied; "No dad you hold my hand."
The father was confused, "What is the difference, whether you hold my hand or I hold yours?"
The little girl smilingly said, "If I hold your hand and stumble I may let go off your hand, but if you hold my hand I know you will never ever let go.."

DNA Newspaper
To him, curry leaves and ferns are medicines. Eat shoots and leaves for good health, Dr Raj Merchant tells R Nalini.
It began with his chance encounter in Gir forest with a holy man, who fed on a variety of leaves. "The aura of the holy man meditating attracted me," says the therapist, who learnt a lot from the man. "Since ancient times, plants have been used to heal ailments, yet people find it difficult to believe in its curative powers," he says.

Hindustan Times newspaper
Dr Merchant: Turning a new leaf to cure you
HE IS not a qualified allopathic doctor but he treats thyroid and cancer; he is not even a homeopath but he doles out suggestions to balance sugar levels in diabetic patients … all this with just leaves, which has given him the sobriquet of 'Pattiwala Doctor'.
It was a chance encounter with a sanyasi some four decades ago in the Girnar hills that proved to be the turning point for the then young commerce graduate. "I was just in my twenties but was drawn towards him due to his aura. He was a virtual treasure trove of natural healing and initiated me into this therapy," tells the Pattiwala doctor, who says he then started spending time with his Master as and when he could to learn.

My dadiji had diabetic and doctors had advised to ampute her gangrenous foot. But with the leaves that my Guruji gave, she was all right in just six days and there was no need to operate," he says.

And that was the starting point for the sexagenarian, who practiced himself first what he preaches, and as a result still does not have diabetes (his father too had diabetes) or any other ailment, normal these days for his age.

He claims to have treated patients having thyroid, diabetes, asthama, cancer, gall bladder and problems related to eyes, kidney and many other diseases. Quiz him if there had been any complex case, he gestures upwards and says, "By God's grace, it has been a smooth journey till date. One case, however, I would like to point out is of a 20-year-old girl from Bhopal who was suffering from vertebral cancer. "She was so ill, her parents said they cannot even bring her to Mumbai. So they called me and I started advising her on phone. Yesterday, the family came to meet me when they came to know I am here at Indore. The girl is pretty stable now."

The leafs for quick relief
IF YOU are still recovering from chikungunya, eating 100 leaves of tulsi daily should give you quick relief. If you are a diabetic, daily consumption of 200-300 'kadi patta' leaves should reduce your sugar levels substantially.

'Curry leaves' (kadi patta), tulsi leaves, carrot, onion, dhatura … the list goes on. These and hundreds of other shrubs and trees are the simple yet effective weapons with which the naturopath Pattiwala cures his patients. He mixes juice of leaves with water, ghee, honey or alcohol, which is then given to the patient in stages.

Most time the times, the mixture is for oral consumption but in some cases, like slip disc, the patient is given a massage with the mixture.

Herbs enough to beat fever and diabetes

Dr Raj Merchant, a Mumbai-based naturopath, says Amba Haldi is a natural pain killer due to its anti-inflammatory properties, and can be used to treat both, internal and external inflammations. It works better if grated together with onion to make a paste that can be consumed or applied.
Here's how Mumbai's green thumbs are beating fever and diabetes

Had Hanuman not found the magical herb Sanjeevani that Hindu mythology believes is the cure for all malady, and healed Laxman, wounded in battle by Ravan's son Indrajeet, the Ramayana would have panned out differently.

Besides the power to turn the plot of an epic around, medicinal herbs can be effective weapons against common ailments, as Mumbaikars are discovering. With the kitchen terrace garden earning more fans thanks to green thumb blogs, everyday sickness — fever, cough and cold, joint pain, cuts and blood pressure — is being tackled with healing herbs that are flourishing in urban balconies.

Preeti Patil, 43, a catering officer at Mumbai Port Trust, has stocked her 10 ft x 3 ft terrace on Dockyard Road with medicinal plants. "I was growing Amba Haldi (mango ginger), a root that looks like ginger but smells like mango, to toss in salads that accompany my meals. When I sprained my ankle, my maid suggested I apply its paste for relief. It was miraculous!" says Patil.

Patil has since then planted Sadafuli leaves (anti-cancerous properties), Adulsa (cough), Tulsi (fever) and lemongrass (headache). Merchant says tea flavoured with lemongrass is as effective in curing a headache as any pill. "A dip in the level of serotonin, a chemical, can trigger headaches. Chemicals in lemongrass boost release of serotonin, relieving pain," he says.

Airoli resident and furniture dealer Julius Rego uses Panphuti to heal cuts and wounds. "Given my profession, I'm prone to cuts.. Panphuti paste fights microbes, allergy and bacteria. I believe it was used by soldiers in ancient times," he shares.

Purvita Kapadia prefers to let her body heal naturally, allowing it the chance to manufacture its own antibodies against diseases. Instead of insulin tablets, she convinced her sister-in-law to chew on two leaves of the Insulin plant every day. "It has helped keep her keep sugar levels in check," says a proud Kapadia.
