MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT OF OBESITY BY FOOT MASSAGE Dr. Dr. K.T. Vinod Krishnan1 Abstract: Obesity, off course it leads to number of health hazards. Ayurveda never entertained obesity- Athisthoulya, because it is not easy to treat Athisthoulya comparing with krisa (slim). Excess food, laziness, lack of exercise and modern style of living are taking people to obesity and its allied problems.

The problem of highly obese person is that he cannot move nor does anybody exercise freely, because the overweight always makes restricted movements. In that condition foot massage – padagata is highly effective to reduce the obesity. Here, in the treatment procedure of padagata, the obese person is lying on the mattress on a floor and the therapist using his legs for massage. In this condition the obese person never want to do any active body movements, but only lying on the floor. We can do whole body padagata massage or a portion or anga of the body according to the needed area. The time of the treatment varies, but generally it takes one hour for whole body procedure.

In Kerala foot massage is very popular. It is also useful in neuro - muscular treatments. It is a part of Ayurvedic and kalari martial treatment. The different massage poses and positions are useful to get good massage to the entire body of the person. Normally 14 days, 21 days, 28 days are the duration of the course of treatment. ___________________________________________________________________________ PG Scholar1, Department of Panchkarma, SSR Ayurvedic Medical College Inchal, Karnataka Email: amiyaayurveda@ gmail.com Contact no: 09446239252

ANAYURVEDIC APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF HYPOTHYROIDISM Dr. A.I. Sankal1, Dr. A.S. Prasanth2, Dr. Sanjay M. 3 Abstract: Thyroid gland is one of the most important and sensitive endocrine gland. As it easily responds to stress and stimuli the global incidence of hypothyroidism is increasing day by day.

Hypothyroidism is believed to be a common health issue in India, as it is worldwide. At least one in every 10 adults in India is suffering from hypothyroidism, a study published in Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism revealed. Female gender and old age were found to have significant association with hypothyroidism. We Ayurvedic practioners are least concerned about thyroid disorders. Most of us think that thyroid disorder is a hard nut to crack and it can be managed only through allopathic interventions. Due to inadequate success in combating the disease with modern medications, there is an increasing demand to treat the disease with other systems of medicine. It is high time to formulate an ayurvedic approach to tackle this issue. When we go through the symptoms of hypothyroidism we can see that it goes hand in hand with Kapha Medo Vridhi, dominance of Tamo Guna and some additional symptoms like Constipation, Muscle cramps and aches, Hair fall and heavy menstrual periods. Basic line of treatment to tackle Kapha, Medo vridhi. Measures to increase Jataragni should be our main aim while treating hypothyroidism. Upavasa, Kaphahara aharas, Udwarthana, RookshaSweda, Vyayama, Yogasanas, Lekhana Vasthi, Vamana, Nasya, Dhoomapana can be done along with Kaphamedohara Yogas.

Abstract: Ayurveda, the life science has given a comprehensive definition for health or swasthya through the verse samadosha samaagnischa samadhatu malakriyah.... by Acharya Sushrutha. Also the dos and don’ts one should follow for maintaining this healthy state is elaborately told in our classics through dinacharya, rutucharya, sadvrutta and achara rasayana, which not only says about the diet and physical exercises but also deals with behavioural, social, spiritual and psychological codes of conduct one should follow.

In recent years lifestyle disorders like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular problems and psychological problems have reached alarming proportion among Indians and are taking people to death before their time.

Thousands of years ago only our acharyas have elaborately explained about the outcome of this perverted lifestyle, giving causes as gramyaahara, amla, katu, kshara bhojana, etc,about the pathology and the symptomatology and also the ways to combat these disorders through shodana and other treatment modalities.
