Divya Medohar Vati for Weight Loss

Divya Triphala Guggulu for Joint Pain, Piles and Weight Loss
Main Ingredients:
Guggulu resin (Commiphora Mukul), Amalaki fruit (Emblica Officinalis), Bibhitaki fruit (Terminalia Belerica), Haritaki fruit (Terminalia Chebula), Pippali fruit (Piper Longum).
Therapeutic Uses:
This classic Ayurvedic preparation combines the detoxifying and rejuvenating actions of triphala with the deeply penetrating and cleansing actions of guggulu. Triphala Guggulu effectively decongests the channels of the body and scrapes away toxins held within the tissues. It is particularly useful for weight management as it enkindles the digestive fire, promotes healthy metabolism and releases excess kapha from the system. Used preventatively, Triphala Guggulu minimizes the accumulation of toxins in the body, blood and joints by supporting proper digestion and elimination.
Triphala guggulu helps remove toxins which can lead to joint pain, arthritic conditions, muscle aches, and rheumatism. It can be useful for weight loss if used with proper exercise and an appropriate diet. It reduces Vata and Kapha doshas and is a powerful rejuvenator of the digestive system.

Divya Yograj Guggulu for Joint Pain
Main Ingredients:
Guggulu resin (Commiphora Mukul), Musta (Cyperus Rotundus), Chitrak (Plumbago Zeylanica), Amalaki fruit (Emblica Officinalis), Bibhitaki fruit (Terminalia Belerica), Haritaki fruit (Terminalia Chebula), Pippali fruit and root (Piper Longum), Ajowan (Carum Copticum), Vidanga herb (Embelia ribes), Gokshura root (Tribulus terrestris), Black Cumin seed (Nigella Sativa), Ajamoda (Trachysspermum Ammi), Cumin seed (Cuminum Cyminum), Deodara herb (Cedrus deodara), Chavya (Piper Cubeba), Cardamom seed (Elettaria Cardamomum), Rasna herb (Pluchea Lanceolata), rock salt, Coriander Seed (Coriandrum Sativam), Ginger root (Zingiber Officinale), Black Pepper fruit (Piper Nigrum), Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum Zeylanica), Ushira (Vetiveria Zizanoides), Yavakshar (Hordeum Vulgare), Talispatra leaf (Abbies Webbiana), Tejpatra (Cinnamomum Tamala).
Therapeutic Uses:
Guggulu is the oleogum resin from a small tree (Commiphora Mukul) which grows in the Himalayas of northwestern India. It has anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties. It also helps remove fat, excess fluids and ama from the body, and penetrates deep into the tissues.
Yograj Guggulu is a traditional formula designed to reduce excess vata in the system. It is particularly useful for accumulated vata in the joints and muscles, which may be indicated by cracking or popping of the joints, tics, spasms or tremors. Chronic accumulation may lead to such serious conditions as rheumatism and arthritis. In vata-type arthritis, the joints may feel cold to the touch and although not necessarily swollen, they may be dry and painful, especially upon movement. Yogaraj Guggulu contains a synergistic blend of detoxifying herbs, including Triphala, Chitrak and Vidanga, that work in conjunction with guggulu to remove excess vata from the joints as well as the nerves and muscles.
Yograj Guggulu helps remove toxins which can lead to obesity, joint pain, arthritic conditions, muscle aches, and rheumatism. It was traditionally used as a remedy for gout. It reduces Vata and Kapha doshas and is an effective adjunct to weight loss along with proper exercise and diet.

Promotes healthy elimination of toxins.
Mode of Administration:
To be taken with hot water/milk.
Dosage:
1-2 tabs.of Divya Yograj Guggulu once a day.
Swami Ramdev says that while allopathic system of medicine is symptomatic, the ayurvedic system of medicine is systemic. Ayurved Medicines work on the physiological systems like
Nervous System
Cardiological System
Blood Circulatory System
Digestive System
Endocrine System etc
and strengthen them
The diet also plays an important role in controlling obesity. To read more about ideal diet go to my profile by clicking kadwa. Click the link threads started by the user. Then go to the link 'Yogic Cure for Diabetes'. The other asanas described there are also good for controlling obesity.
Now last but not the least-
Baba Ramdev has taken the Pranayam Techniques from the himalayan caves to the masses.
If the pateint does
Bhastrika Pranayam for 5 minutes
Kapalbhati Pranayam for 30 minutes
also described in my post on kapalbhati in the following link
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/134752/
(Most effective for the controlling obesity. If the patient wants to get rid of obesity soon Kapalbhati should be practised in the evening also for 30 minutes.)
Anulom Vilom Pranayam for 20 minutes
Also described in my post on Anulom Vilom Pranayam in the following link
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/133092/1
Bhramari Pranayam for 2 minutes
Udageetha Pranayam for 2 minutes
he may not even have any need to take the medicines.
So pranayam is like a deep acting anti-miasmatic remedy that we have in homeopathy. But as two patients will do pranayam with different levels of sincerity there will also be a differential in what they gain.
