What this little man speaks…
WONDERS OF TAMBOOLAM – INDIAN TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
It is a fact I have not acquired proficiency in application of medicines. At the same time, I am trusting the ancient sages of India and their methodology with a high degree of confidence that they struggled hard for the over all welfare of mankind and as such invented many things in the interest of the society. This basic thought is an indisputable one and this is the basis for this.
“Pooogiphalaicha Karpurai Naagavalli Dalairyutam……” which means PAN has to be taken immediately after meal which should contain the following items as per the ancient sages:
These days we see people chewing pan with Tobacco and other Masaalaas Chemically prepared exposing themselves to high-risk zones medically. The Government has gone to the extent of imposing a ban on these materials. Irrespective of age, locality we can see people from the Himalayan Ranges to the Kanya Kumari addicted to PAN MASAALA. People prefer to sacrifice their gifted Tooth and precious health for this. Anything excessive dosage is not advisable, but surely had the ancient formula been properly propagated, the systematic combination would have helped millions to some extent to guard their health and take suitable protection to the parts of their body. We can not afford leaving even a single life, in the instant case, millions of lives are involved and something is to be done in this regard.
1) Areca Catechu or Areca Nut or Betel–Nut; Poogah in Sanskrit; Supari in Hindi, Bangali, Gujarati and in Marathi; Vakka in Telugu, 2) Camphor; Hima Kapoor in Sanskrit; Kapoor in Hindi and mostly the same in other Indian Languages, 3) Betel leaves; Nagavalli in Sanskrit; Tambooli or Pan in Hindi; Vetrilai in Tamil; Tamalapaaku in Telugu, 4) Calcium; Sudha or Silaakshara in Sanskrit; Chuna in Hindi; Sunnam in Telugu, 5) Myristica Fragrans Nutmeg; Jaatiphal in Sanskrit; Jayaphal in Hindi; Jaajikaaya in Telugu 6) Saffron; Kaasmiraja in Sanskrit; Kesar in Almost all Indian Languages; Crocus Sativus Botanically; Kunkuma Poovu in Telugu, 7) Cinnamon; Varraanga or Gudatwak in Sanskrit; Maruguja in Hindi; Daalchina Chekka in Telugu, 8) Cardamom; Ela in Sanskrit; Elachi in Hindi; Elakulu in Telugu, 9) Cary Ophyllus Aromatieus; Devakusuma in Sanskrit or Sripushpa, Lovanga; Lowangi in Hindi; Lavang in most of the Indian Languages including Telugu.
Now let us examine each material and its effect as per Materia Medica.
Betel Leaves are from creeper family. In some parts of the Globe it is observed that oil is applied on these leaves and after heating it, the same is put on the chest or abdomen to gain relief from abdominal pains etc. For that matter number of applications in different ways are suggested as per AYURVEDA but by all means it is one boon for those who suffer from facial bad odors or from mouth. It is in fact a mouth refresher. It has the capacity to grant relief from allergies and coughs. It creates appetite and it is anti-asthmatic. Vocal cards are activated to produce sounds with clarity. It is a wonderful remedy for Pioria.
Since it is our principle not to write any article beyond a page, I am forced to continue the matter in the next magazine. I shall be back again soon…………HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA SAI
