#Dhanteras Or Dhanwantari Jayanti is celebrated as #AyurvedaDay

Who was Lord Dhanwantari ji?

Pls RT to spread word

#Ayurveda
Lord Dhanwantari is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is One of the pioneers of #Ayurveda. He belongs to ShalyaTantram or Surgery branch.
He appeared from Samudra Manthanam. He has four hands holding Shankha (conch) Chakra (A weapon)
Jalauka (leech) & AmritaGhata (exilir)
This is a symbolic representation where conch denotes it's medicinal use in #Ayurveda eg Shankha Bhasma Chakra denotes Surgical instruments,
leech is used for blood letting or RaktaMokshan; on of the PanchaKarmas and exilir pot suggests health.
Dhanwantari is not just mythological figure but historical. References found in Brahma Vaivarta Puranam & Harivansham.
Harivamsha 1st chapter quotes; Lord Dhanwantari was blessed by lord Vishnu that he shall take rebirth during Dwapara Yuga.
So Divodasa was born to Dhanva; the King of Varanasi during Dwapara. He restored the city of Varanasi & founded Universities like Nalanda.
Famously known as Kashiraja Divodasa Dhanwantari; he was an eminent scholar of #Ayurveda. Acharya Susruta was one amongst his disciples.
Susruta Samhita is the very foundation of modern day surgery. This is very important contribution of #Ayurveda towards mankind.
Dhanteras is celebrated to pay gratitude towards Lord Dhanwantari. Puja is done & dry coriander with aged jaggery is offered to the lord.
Today is celebrated as #AyurvedaDay by @moayush. Let's pledge for #SwasthaBharat through #Ayurveda.
Om Dhan Dhanwantaraye Namah।

A classic case how #Ayurveda is being defamed deliberately and how rumours are spread intentionally.
@DrShrinidh @ViIlageldiot
@DrSamarthk

How an Ayurvedic tonic caused severe liver disease in a farmer who never drank alcohol.
scroll.in/pulse/886955/h… via @scroll_in
First of all; Dashamoolaristam (the accused medicine in the write-up) isn't used as 'digestive' in #Ayurveda It is primely used in Vata diseases. It contains self generated alcohol which is different than the distilled one.
Here mentioned farmer is said to be taking 4-5 ounces (approx 148 ml) four times a day which makes it around 592 ml a day!

Theraputic dose of the same is 10-20 ml twice a day.

So in this case; it was consumed in around 15 times more quantity than the expected!

#Thread : #diabetes & rice

Study conducted by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the University of Queensland says, #Diabetic patients may consume Indian varieties of rice like Swarna, Mahsuri as they have low GI.

#DiabetesMonth
#SwasthaBharat
Rice variety like brown rice could be consumed by #Diabetic patients as well. This is customary in many parts of southern India.

#DiabetesMonth
#SwasthaBharat
Traditionally Indians consume aged rice; which has low GI as compared to the new one. If you consuming new rice grain; just roast it a bit before cooking. It makes it easy to digest says #Ayurveda. The process also helps reducing the GI.

@GauPrem @SatyaVijayi @mandarjoshisays @TejasOmkara @authorAneesh
First pic mentions about the preparation specifically used to TREAT VishamaJvara; not any random type of fever. Medicine & diet difference??
The second image shared by you clearly says 'न शीलयेत्।' which means DON'T CONSUME beef. So you actually proved my point sharing it!!

Heart is considered to be one of the most important vital organs in human body by #Ayurveda. It is called as 'Marma’ (vital point)
Susruta mentions shape of heart (along with the aorta) is just like a lotus bud. Was that precision possible without dissecting cadaver?
