Thank you for the ping Every time I come here, I vow I’m gonna start at the beginning and read everything
at this point. I’m not sure I remember or have time to put the meals leftovers away.
Thank you for your research and your regular efforts to share it with us.
If anything I share helps someone, I’m happy! I’m getting old, it’s weird. Inside I’m eternally young. :-)
Pinging the list to three more guggulu formulas. I take all three but in powder form which I much prefer, usually 1/2 t. in a small amount of warm water with honey. I really need to take 2-3 times a day for better results. Since taking these my joint pains are much less, my cholesterol level when from high to normal (the bad kind), and my heart which used to have problems is now fine. (I also take other herbs- Arjuna, Hawthorne and Jatamansi for that). Punarnavavadi I take especially for the heart benefit, and Triphala Guggula for general detoxifying. I will post sources for both the powder and pills. If taking pills, best to put in a small cup of hot water to soften up, and maybe chew them if possible.
Punarnavadi Guggulu
This compund contains punarnavam a diuretic and demulcent herb, loha bhasma (iron ash, I can explain about bhasmas later, they are totally safe and very potent medicine), along with several other herbs. It is traditionally used to dispel kapha (excess fat and water) and ama (accumulated toxins) via the urinary tract. It is helpful in disorders like obesity, edema, ascites, urinary tract ailments, urinary stones, gallstones, fibrocystic changes, hight cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and lethargy.hypertension and lethargy.
It is curative for curative for kapha types of arthritis, characterized by stiff and swollen joints that are cool to the touch, achy in the morning, and better with movement. Punarnavadi Guggulu is also pacifying to pitta (excess heat) and is effective for treating jaundice, skin diseases, abcesses, and other inflammatory conditions. It has proven to be effective as a cardian tonic.
Dosage: 1-3 pills, 2-3 times daily.

Composed of triphala, trikatu, and guggulu, this guggulu compound is used to scrape away and remove ama and obstructions in the bodily tissues and channels. It enkindles agni, the digestive fire, especially in fat tissue, decreases ama in the GI tract, supports the metabolism, and is helpful for controlling obesity. its ability to prevent and rid the system of ama make it a good medicine for boils, carbuncles, abcesses, allergies, toxemia, malabsorption, high cholesterol, hyperglycemia,and gallstones. Other uses includ arthritis, fatigue, hyperthyroidism, fistulas, hemorrhoids, sinus congestion, and rheumatism.

Yogaraj Guggulu
This intricate formula contains nearly 20 herbs and is traditionally used to burn ama and manage excess vata (air) and hapha. It has an affiniity to the joints and is helpful and rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, and gout. It decreases excess vata in the joints characterized by popping, cracking joints or tics, tremors, spasms, lumbago, fibromyaligia, and so on. It also has direct action on the nerve tissue and is used in epilepsy, neuralgia, sciatica, and nervous debility. Other conditions related to excess vata that can be helped by this medicine are anemia, hearing loss, tinnitus, tingling and numbness, as well as vata types of heart, urinary or reproductive conditions.

Marking for new knowledge 🙃
Got some more to post today. Writing up the info yesterday made me determined to up my herb intake!
NIH but still useful info.

How Sleep Clears the Brain
Fluid flowing through channels in the brain.
Cerebrospinal fluid (blue) flows through the brain and clears out toxins through a series of channels that expand during sleep.Maiken Nedergaard
A mouse study suggests that sleep helps restore the brain by flushing out toxins that build up during waking hours. The results point to a potential new role for sleep in health and disease.
Scientists and philosophers have long wondered why people sleep and how it affects the brain. Sleep is important for storing memories. It also has a restorative function. Lack of sleep impairs reasoning, problem-solving, and attention to detail, among other effects. However, the mechanisms behind these sleep benefits have been unknown.
Dr. Maiken Nedergaard and her colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center recently discovered a system that drains waste products from the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid, a clear liquid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, moves through the brain along a series of channels that surround blood vessels. The system is managed by the brain’s glial cells, and so the researchers called it the glymphatic system.

Shilajit
Natural mineral pitch
Tissues: works on all tissues
Systems: urinary, reproductive, nervous, circulatory
Properties: diuretic, rejuventive, tonic, nervine, sedative, alterative, anti-helmintic, anti-microbial, lithotriptic, aphrodisiac
Indications: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, kidney and urinary disorders, cystitis, obesity, edema, diabetes, glycsuria, general debility, fatigue, menorrhagia, dismenorrhea, seminal debility, low sexual energy, enlarged prostate, enlarged spleen, nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, gallstones and kidney stones, high cholesterol, nervous debility, epilepsy.
This list may look incredible to the point of “can’t be real”, but shilajit - literally “conqueror of mountains” and known as the destroyer of weakness - is pretty amazing. It has now become popular and thus many varieties or brands are avaiable. I only trust two sources, which I will post later. It is a black tar-like mineral pitch that seems from some rocks in the in the Himalayas in the summer season, and formes as a result of decaying vegetation. There are several types or colors of shilatjit, but the black variety is used for medicinal purposes. It is an indispensable medicine in Ayurveda, revered as being able to tread a wide variety of diseases.
It is a rich source of minerals in ionic form, such as magneium, zinc, iron, and silica, as well as humic acid and fulvic acid. It helps build good blood and strong bones tissue. Because it is heating, drying and scraping (of excess water and fat) to the body, it may be too heating to some people who are by nature very hot. In wasting diseases it should be used with caution.
It is rejuvenative to the kidneys, uniary tract, reproductive and immune systems, as well as the lungs. It helps to regulate the downward moving air (apana) in the body and is used for reproductive disorders as above including sterility, menstrual problems, urinary disorders, and diabetes. It is useful for breaking down and flushing out kidney and gallstones, and reducing high cholesterol and obesity.
In cases of adult onset diabetes, it combines well with neem and turmeric to control blood sugar levels and prevent weight gain. For under-active thyroid function, it can be used with guduchi or kaishhore guggulu. [I will be posting about Guduchi, Turmeric and parasites soon.]
Shilajit is a far better choice than viagra, due to its ability to increase virility and sexual stamina while maintaining the normal tone of the organs. It is most effective when combined with ashwagandha 1 to 3. For enlarged prostate it can be helpful alone or with gokshuradi guggulu, ashwagandha, saw palmetto, or vidari kand.

Thank you always, lj!
Amazing!
SHilajit is really amazing. DH takes daily. I’ll post a link to best brand later after writing up about Turmeric and also topic of parasites (a request).
Pinging the list to Bactericide and Antiseptic Essential oils. Tomorrow I’ll post links to reputable Shilajit suppliers and try to post about some other herbs and conditions. Most of these are NOT for direct skin application, Tea Tree and Lavender are okay.

Always always appreciate, many thanks 🙏
Since it’s winter/sickness season, these are useful to know. Even just a few of them, no need for all these oils. I’m going to make a spray with white vinegar and a few of these oils for hub to take in the car when he goes shopping. (I can’t drive due to vision problems so he does the shopping). He can spray his hands, the steering wheel, etc.
When items come in the from the store, we take produce out of bags and put in our own bags in the fridge, and other things in some container we put in our own containers.
