Constipation  Enemas

  The next obstacle in prolonging the life span is constipation.  The very first injunction for the treatment of Kayakalpa is that the bowel should be completely cleaned and evacuated first, Enemas are used to promote bowel evacuation by softening the faces and lubricating the rectal mucosa.  The principal type of lubricating enemas employed is the juice the Aloe Indica (Kattalai) in Tamil mixed with castor oil.

Laxative

 The next most popular drug in Kayakalpa used as laxative is Terminalia Chebula (Kadukkai) in Tamil.  Its virtue is highly appreciated by Siddhas and used against all internal ailments.  A decoction of Myrobalans is a safe and mild purgative unattended by griping or other ill effects.

  The kernels of the myrobalans should be purified as per Siddha Pharmacopoeia and powdered before use.  For chronic constipation, operculina turpethum is also recommended to be used with myrobalans.

Technorati Tags: Health, Aging

The Kalpa that serves as a constructive medicine to cell and the degenerated Organs naturally as Kalpa treatment is a weapon, preventive as well as constructive.

  The methods prescribed in Siddhar’s medical science in the treatment of Kayakalpa are as follows:-
 

1.  Preservation of vital energy of the body by diverting the internal secretions to the circulation of blood by control of breathing through yoga practice.
 

2.  Conservation of sperm by using it for regeneration.

3. Use of the Universal salt, such as Muppu in Tamil, prepared by certain Siddhic process for rejuvenation.

4.  Use of calcined powders prepared from metals and minerals such as mercury, sulphur, mica, gold, copper, iron etc.
 

5.  Use of drugs prepared from certain rare Indian herbs.
 

The methods 1 to 3 can be accomplished only by yogis and Siddhars for attaining immortality and the methods 3 and 4 are for prologuation of life of man freed from the degenerated diseases.  The control of breathing, according to the yoga system, leads to rejuvenation, and rejuvenation thus forms an integral part of immortality.  This kind of Kayakalpa is prescribed only for yogis practising celibacy who have dedicated their life to the service of God and for the good of the world.  Now let us, therefore, turn to the process of Kalpa as stated in No.5 using certain Indian plants for securing long life.  If the Kalpa drug is taken at the age of fifty, he will find rejuvenated as a young man of sixteen.
 Siddhars hold that in the upper edge of spinal cord in the cervical region and above the Tonsil, there is a portion similar to that of a conch and a disc.  Here a substance, namely mucus or phlegm, is formed.  It has its own poisonous effect on man and injurious to his well being and good health.  This is called Pitha Neer in Tamil.  This is described as the eclipse intercepting the union of sun and moon in the cerebrum as well as the passage for the secretion namely Amirtham (Nectar).
 
It is therefore obvious that those who concentrate on Kayakalpa treatment, should make an attempt to get rid of this poisonous effect first.  Should this poisonous substance be completely emitted through mouth, the spinal cord will then be opened, and the nectar begins to secrete and enters into the blood stream.  The cells in different organisms thus obtain a new type of neuclic acid to rejuvenate themselves.

The herb recommended by Siddhas for emitting the poisonous substance is Eclipta alba (Golden coloured), Karisalankanni in Tamil), A paste of the entire plant mixed with ghee should suitably be brushed up the uvula as well as in and around the tonsil to enable the mucus to vomit out through the mouth; the process should be repeated once early morning for a period of 40 days for the complete removal of poisonous effects from the throat.  The sample plant may also be used as salad in diet to rejuvenate the glands in the entire system.
