Ayurveda electronic version

The practical electronic version of Ayurveda therapy you are looking for should essentially be a "daily conditioning guide that adapts to the physical constitution of East Asians, removes redundant metaphysical content, and can be implemented directly." It is not a collection of literal translations of the original texts that can be seen everywhere on the Internet, a hodgepodge of folk remedies mixed with content brought by Wechat merchants, and it is not a "health book" that boasts that it can cure all diseases.

I first came into contact with Ayurveda when I was working as a volunteer in a seaside town in southern Sri Lanka in 2019. At that time, I was running in the 35-degree sun every day. My face was covered with acne and I suffered from acute gastroenteritis. The local veteran doctor Vikram did not prescribe me any western medicine, but mixed a cup of warm coconut with turmeric and nutmeg. Milk, and gave me an English pamphlet he printed himself - it was a simplified version of the Ayurveda recipe he used to popularize health knowledge for local residents. I drank it for three days in a row. Not only did my stomach feel better, but most of the red and swollen acne was also gone. Only then did I realize that this thing was not as mysterious as it was said on the Internet.

After returning to China, I looked for a lot of electronic versions circulated in China, and my feet were swollen from stepping on them: either they were completely literal translations of the original Indian texts, and ingredients such as "Emblica emblica pulp" and "Holy basil extract" mentioned in them could not be found in daily purchase channels in China. After reading the whole book, apart from knowing the word "three doshas", there is no use for it.； Either it has been changed beyond recognition by micro-business, and after turning three pages, a link to sell essential oils pops up, often asking you to spend thousands to buy so-called "Ayurveda exclusive healing products." Later, together with several friends who studied Chinese medicine and practiced naturopathy, I integrated the prescriptions given by Vikram and the more than 300 conditioning cases we collected from domestic users, and created an electronic version suitable for Chinese people. In the past few years, I have used it for dozens of people around me, and the feedback has been pretty good.

Oh, yes, I should mention here that not everyone agrees with our reform ideas. We previously sent the compiled content to a teacher at a traditional Ayurveda college in South India. He was very angry and said that we violated the core rules of the original scripture: for example, the original scripture clearly stated that people with pitta (fire) constitutions should eat more cold foods to cool down. We changed it to "try to eat warm food with cooler properties and avoid ice." The reason is that the spleen and stomach of East Asians are generally weaker than those of Indians who eat raw and cold food all year round and live in the tropics. Eating ice directly will damage the spleen and stomach yang. The traditionalists insist that not a word of the original text can be changed, but those of us who make applications feel that therapy is meant to serve people, and there is no need to stick to the provisions that were formulated for the native Indians thousands of years ago. Anyway, the cases in our hands show that users who follow the improved version are 62% more effective than those who directly copy the original text. Whoever uses it has the final say.

Last month, a girl who works in Internet operations complained to me, saying that she downloaded a free electronic version online and found out that she has a Pitta constitution. According to the instructions in the book, she drank iced aloe vera water and ate raw salad every day. However, her acne did not go away. Instead, her aunt postponed it for half a month and suffered from diarrhea every day. I showed her the mixed constitution self-assessment form in our electronic version, and she realized that she had a mixed constitution of pitta gavata (wind element), and her spleen and stomach were weak and she couldn't touch the ice at all. We changed her conditioning formula to warm chrysanthemum and honeysuckle water, stopped her from eating raw salads and replaced them with boiled vegetables, and added a 5-minute abdominal massage technique every day. Within half a month, she sent me a message saying that most of her acne was gone, and her aunt came back normally.

I won’t say what modules a reliable electronic version must have, let’s just talk about the one we compiled ourselves: It starts with a 3-minute self-test question, which is all about small details that you can feel every day - such as whether your mouth will be bitter when you wake up in the morning, whether you will get angry immediately after eating spicy food, whether your hands and feet are warm in winter, and you don’t need to know the pulse and five elements. After finishing it, you will know what kind of constitution you have, and you can even get a rough idea of ​​the ratio of mixed constitutions. The conditioning recipes for each constitution in the following are all things that can be bought in the supermarket or ordinary pharmacy downstairs. You will not be asked to find any niche imported ingredients. For turmeric, just buy edible turmeric powder in the supermarket for more than ten yuan a bottle. There is no need to buy imported "organic turmeric" that costs hundreds of yuan. We have also added several scenario-based small modules, such as how to adjust for long periods of sitting in the office, how to recuperate for people who often stay up late, and how to adjust for a mother after giving birth. They can all be done in three to five minutes, and you don’t need to spend an hour or two to engage in "healing rituals."

Of course, I have never shied away from controversy. Nowadays, many people say that Ayurveda is pseudoscience, and I completely understand - after all, there is currently no large-scale double-blind experiment that can prove the scientific nature of the three dosha theory, and it is not within the framework of mainstream medicine. But you say it is completely useless. Many people adjust their diet and rest according to its logic, and it is true that sub-health problems such as headaches, constipation, and fatigue are alleviated a lot. In essence, it is a personalized lifestyle guide. You can just use it as a reference for health care. If you are really sick, you should go to the hospital. Don't use it as a prescription for treating illness.

Finally, a reminder to friends who want to find the electronic version: Anyone who claims to be able to cure chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes can just delete it. They are 100% liars.； Don’t buy anything that contains product links that allow you to buy matching exclusive products. They’re all about cutting leeks. ； There are also those that are full of awkward terms and you won’t know what to say after reading them for half an hour. There is no need to waste time. Isn’t it just for us ordinary people to use them? It’s useless no matter how good something is that we can’t understand. To be honest, I compiled this electronic version with no intention of making money from it, but I have been through too many pitfalls before, and I don’t want others to be like me, drinking ice aloe vera water and having diarrhea for several days, and spending a lot of money on useless imported essential oils. Last time I sent the electronic version to my aunt, and she followed the method in it to help my uncle adjust his diet for high blood pressure. Now his blood pressure has stabilized a lot, and even the doctor asked him what he had eaten recently. This kind of small blessing is actually enough.
