New Delhi, October 19 (IANS). The treatment of every disease is written in our Vedas and that too with household items. In Ayurveda, most of the things available in the kitchen have been used for the treatment of diseases.
Maharishi Vagwat has written the treatment of diseases very well in his book and composed ‘Ashtanga Hriday’ for heart diseases. In this, how to keep the heart healthy and ways to avoid heart attack are mentioned.
Maharishi Vagwat believes that the risk of heart attack occurs only when the acidity in the blood increases and the heart tubes become thick and start blocking the blood flow, due to which there is a risk of heart attack. It is also said in science that after the speed of digestion slows down, the problem of acidity arises in the stomach and acid is produced. In such a situation, there is problem of sour belching and gas formation, but when this acid increases beyond limits, it affects the blood. To avoid such a situation, Ayurveda emphasizes on the consumption of alkaline foods.
Bottle gourd, from which vegetables, barfi and kheer are made at home, works to reduce acidity in the blood. Bottle gourd is full of qualities; It contains iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, B, C, and E. By consuming bottle gourd there is no shortage of water in the body. Ayurveda also recommends consuming bottle gourd juice to avoid heart attack. For this, you can make bottle gourd juice and add 7 to 10 basil leaves and some mint leaves in it. To prevent indigestion from the juice, you can add black salt or rock salt.
This bottle gourd juice can be consumed in the morning on an empty stomach or half an hour after breakfast. Drinking this will keep the stomach cool and will speed up digestion, which will reduce acid formation in the stomach and the blood will also remain clean. Bottle gourd juice has the power to detoxify the entire body. Apart from this, bottle gourd juice is also helpful in reducing bad cholesterol.
Bottle gourd juice helps in controlling weight and the antioxidants and vitamin C present in it keep the skin and hair healthy.
