According to Ayurveda, hyperacidity is due to pitta's aggravation, and pear helps to manage this problem. Pear has Shita or cold property, which helps to manage the pitta imbalance. Liver disease occurs due to an imbalance in Pitta dosha. Pear is very helpful due to its Sita or cold nature.

Agnimandya or weak digestive fire can also lead to improper food digestion and cause diarrhea. All these factors led to an imbalance in Vata dosha. Aggravated Vata can bring fluid to the intestine from various cells in the body. This fluid mixes with stool and causes watery loose motion.

  Pear helps to make the stool thick as it is Sita or cold, and it also possesses Stambhak (astriction) property, which reduces the watery motion to prevent the loss of nutrition and fluid through the stool. Thus pear can manage diarrhea.

According to Ayurveda, Melasma occurs due to an imbalance in pitta dosha, and pear helps to balance pitta.

In Ayurvedic terms, weight gain is a condition of excessive accumulation of fat or Ama (undigested toxic remains of food due to improper digestion). Pear might help in this situation as it increases digestive fire, and its Rechana or Laxative property helps in the excretion of these toxins. This ultimately helps to reduce weight.

Pear possesses Rasayana (rejuvenating property), which helps to fight disease and external infections. It helps to boost immunity.

TRIDOSHAS

TRIDOSHAS              Well,no debate, rather no justification required that Ayurveda is in vogue! Going herbal, connecting with mother Nature, healing the healthy way is the new fad! You might have even experienced instances wherein you'd be suggested Ayurvedic medicines, treatments or easy remedies or you would be trying Ayurvedic creams and lotions to nourish your delicate skin and must mention, the miraculous role played by Ayurveda during the Covid-19 pandemic through its elixir - equivalent decoctions or ' Kaadha ' as well as immunity boosting herbal medications,such as Giloy Ghanvati , AYUSH-64 and many more! Also,since Ayurveda deals with beneficial,non-beneficial life span aka Hitakara aayu and Ahitakar Aayu , happiness yielding life span and vice versa aka Sukh aayu and Dukh aayu , the span of life and ways to improve the same; here's a brief description of the pillars upon which the foundation of Ayurveda stands strong and stur...

MAANSIK DOSHAS

MANSIK DOSHAS We wrapped up our series of physical  Tridoshas in our previous articles. Not so far accustomed to Doshas , then do cast your eyes upon the same! After setting the seal on the physical Tridoshas , let's go through the mental or Maansik Doshas .  Just as the physical Doshas are accountable for the physical well-being and physical distortion of an individual,in the same way, mental Doshas take charge of mental welfare and at the same time,when vitiated, make a mess of the former. These Mansik Tridoshas give the impression of three Doshas , namely Satva,Raja and Tama . These Doshas not only influence our mind but also are astonishingly explicable for the creation of the Universe! It's quite apparent that all the substances present in the Universe are made up of the Panchamahabhuta ; the  air (Vaayu ), the fire (Agni) , the sky (Aakash) , the water (Jala) and the earth (Prithvi) . These Mahabhutas  cannot solely create the entire Uni...

Ayurveda and its Formulations

Image
It is ironic that Ayurveda , the majestic science is often mocked and quackered to be low profile, inefficient and futile. Very often, Vaidyas or Ayurvedic physicians are confronted with a very common question " Is Ayurveda all about Churna and Kaadha ...?" But first,let me extend my sincere gratitude towards the Covid-19 pandemic as it was the sole reason every Indian household is admirably acquainted with the term ' Kaadha ' which precisely means a herbal decoction! Anyways, heading towards the answer to the former, it is an extremely irrational belief that the vast medicinal science is merely limited to the above mentioned formulations. The renonwed Ayurvedic compendiums such as The Charak Samhita,The Sushruta Samhita and several others present mammoth formulations apart from Churna and Kaadha . It is a Herculean task to put forward the interminable list of all the formulations in a single article. Therefore, let us take a look at the classic Ayu...
