TCM and Ayurveda

As China and India had seen the dawn of civilizations almost in the same time, one can notice a lot of common practices and concepts in Ayurveda (in Indian Context) and Qigong (in Chinese context). TCM is a recognized phenomenon all over the world. The objective of TCM is the free-flow of qi to create a balance between yin and yang as well as an equal distribution of energy levels in all the energy pathways of the body.

But how does it actually work? You need to tune into tsubos and harmonize the energy-points of the body.

A clean mind leads to the life force Qi and in turn Qi leads to unobstructed blood flow. So, the body and mind are not two complete separate icons, they are interconnected and improper functioning of one casts an adverse effect on the other.

In a nutshell we can say that the mind is cohesive to the body to present a congenial environment for an individual to fight against the world at large.

The main essence of the western science and practices was to treat body, emotions, mind and spirit separately, but the primitive civilizations like Chinese and Indians always found a matching wavelength between body, mind and spirit.

Now lets have a quick look at the root cause of all diseases, in other words the cause that creates the imbalance between the yin and yang.

TCM simplifies the internal mechanism by identifying five key organs namely kidney, liver, spleen, heart and the lungs.

If the entire body is thought to be a network of various organs and blood vessels, then these five are essentially the hubs through which all the energies flow, are controlled and routed. Any external ailment is also directly a reaction of malfunctioning of any of these vital organs.

To conclude we can say that the energy medicine had been known and practiced amongst all old civilizations for ages, which have found its resurgence in the western countries only now.

Diseases – Causes and Remedies

Most of the ancient philosophy of recovery used to relate between the lifestyle, a human leads and the chance of falling ill for them. Even today research have established the fact that mental agonies, excess/ less diets, uncontrolled lifestyle, lack of exercise or body movements affect our longevity to a great extent. In Ayurved, the physicians used to believe that the magnitude of the aura directly varies with the above-mentioned factors.

And as per conservation of laws, an individual cannot hold this energy forever and it largely depends upon his practice, perfection and his willingness, lifestyle.

Ayurved has been analyzing the cause and remedial processes as follows:

Cause of Diseases

  • External – The environmental factors
  • Internal – The emotions and mind set of an individual
  • Livelihood – How you lead your lifestyle? Like Diet, self-control and luring effects etc.

Remedial Process

  • Exercises and Meditation
  • Herbal Medicines
  • Massages
  • Nutrition

The myth is that in the ancient days sages and saints used to heal others just by touch thus transmitting their own energy onto the diseased. Even Qigong in China and Indian Vedic Ages have witnessed these myths.

Rights of People

Most of the democratic countries all over the world have declared human rights for its inhabitants. They have got freedom to select the occupation, dwelling places and many more.

We all know that governments deduct various taxes from people for providing the rights and services. Most of the governments work mainly in the service sector, whose prime responsibility becomes to provide the infrastructure, the road, the electricity and obviously the security.

The problem arises, when the people pay taxes to several government bodies and till they don’t get the service. Let us take an example, if the road condition becomes too poor that your car demands more oil or you meet with accidents, then your mind bubbles with thousands of why and that too when you pay tax on time.

You pay for the electricity and at times the load shedding become too pain staking that you loose a lot of vital man hours. If you pay the telephone bill on time and yet the connection gets disrupted, your mind sets back and impregnates the revolution against governments.

The advantage of democracy is that there is always an opposition to point out the faults of the government to keep them on the right track. Unfortunately most of the opponents focus on issues which will earn political mileage for them and hardly looks after the common interest of the public.

Can’t we think of mechanism, where the government needs to pay a penalty for the duration of not providing the services, the way the people are penalized for delay in payment of taxes?

When Information becomes Knowledge

People often confuses between information and knowledge. We must say in the beginning itself that information is not knowledge, rather Information, the processed data is the primary resources, upon which the building knowledge has to be raised. If we look at the complete life cycle, then the path should be like

Data -> Information -> knowledge -> understanding and application -> wisdom.

Information is available and the challenge is to find the place for the right information. Once one collects information, then he needs to apply his intuition to transform the information to knowledge.

Information is liberating, if our minds are programmed properly. Some people are called more intelligent and efficient as the efficient minds will find out the right source for right kind of information faster than the ordinary people.

Strategy needs to be formulated for collecting information or to decide the kind of information is required to fulfill our goal. Once the effective information is fetched, they need to be organized in a systematic manner, followed by the right kind of processing to yield the right conclusion. These steps are mandatory, to transform the information to knowledge.

The secret of success lies in evaluating the right source as information only can lead one to the right knowledge base. Now once the knowledge is traced, it needs to be tested in several new conditions like software products, only then the utility of knowledge is confirmed, which in other word is called experience.

Pretension of knowledge is a serious concern as the normal psychology of people always suffer from insecurity complex, they feel that even if they fail to guide in any issue on the earth, then the artificially built in impression goes down.They literally menace the truth and success of the others.

How knowledge can be enhanced? It is the willingness and curiosity you have within and then the hard work of applying it in real life situations. We will conclude with the quotes of Denis Diderot, “There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge. . . observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.” We will infer that if information is called the seed of success then proper watering is a must to result good fruits, which is knowledge.

Alas! Knowledge is also perishable. What is knowledge today, it can be just a notion tomorrow.

Mesothelioma - a scourge but not curse

Mesothelioma is one of the dreaded scourge, human civilizations have ever witnessed. This is said to be extremely malignant and till date it is incurable. Typically it affects the membrane mesothelium, the essential component to protect most of our internal organs.

Although mostly it starts with the pleura (almost 75%), but slowly spreads out through out the body.

National Cancer Institutes reports of 2,000 new cases in every year in USA only. While the statistics shows a steady growth of Mesothelioma over two decades, the number of male victim is much more than female. However, medical practitioners find equal chances in male and female.

The research indicates the main root cause of Mesothelioma is asbestos, starting from the dwelling unit ending with the industry usage.

The US Occupational Safety and OSHA have set limits in asbestos usage in workplace. At least smoking does not seem to be adverse in this type of cancer.



If you are suffering for long from short breath, blood coughing, anemia, abnormal fatigueness, bowel obstruction, constant chest pain, abdominal pain, drastic weight loss, lack of appetite, chronic cough that worsens gradually, continuous bronchitis or pneumonia, don’t neglect - because all of them are the symptoms of Mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma can be conformed by the normal test only, the diagnosis requires modern tools like MRI, CT Scan, X-Ray and finally by biopsy.

The mortality rate of Mesothelioma is almost 100% within 5 years, but an early stage diagnosis may lead to a longer life.

We advise you to read and focus on various articles and literatures of Mesothelioma to gain adequate literacy because we believe in Francis Bacon’s remark that “Knowledge is power.”
