            Article: 'Ayurveda and Breast Feeding'

            Lactation is the secretion of milk from breasts. It is an infant's privilege and a mother's pleasure to breast-feed. It is a natural phenomenon, which benefits both the mother as well as child and should not be avoided. Ayurvedic scholars have praised breast feeding and mentioned many advantages of the mother's milk in the ancient scriptures.Brest feeding is a best method to give the love to the child. This makes also the mother a total. A child understands the mother through breast-feeding. In ayurveda breast milk is called as nectar. Each breast should be considered as the knowledge pots for the child.

            Following facts about lactation support this comparison.

              a.. Mother's milk is naturally sterile and it protects the baby from many infections and diseases.
              b.. It is always available at right temperature, suitable for the child.
              c.. Mother's milk serves as a good store of IgA ad lectoferrin, which is not available in such a high concentration in any other milk. It increases the immunity of the child against a variety of bacteria and protects the infant from many diseases.
              d.. Various digestive enzymes present in human milk make it more suitable and easily digestible for the baby.
              e.. Milk lactose present in the milk inhibits growth of E. coli, and poliovirus, thus protecting the baby.
            Ayurveda ascribes its Vata-Pitta-Kapha dosha qualities on the milk and blames the mother's diet for any health problems in the child. This is because breast-milk is Upadhatu of Rasadhatu and is directly influenced by the quality of Rasadhatu which in turn is made up of the food we eat.

            The quality of milk produced can be assessed very easily. Let a drop of milk fall into a container of water. If it disperses, the milk is of good quality; if it sinks, it is heavy with Kapha (hence, Kapha provoking items have to be removed from the diet) If the milk floats, it is because of the airy Vata (the child will pass gaseous stools and suffer from gripes). Dashmoolarishta in this case is the herb of choice. If Pitta is in excess, it will tinge the milk yellow. Shatavari is the herb given to the mother for excess Pitta.

            Useful Tips -

              a.. Powder of Asparagus recemosus (Shatavari) should be taken in the dose of 1 GM daily along with milk to maintain the quality of lactation. Shatavari Kalpa is a formulation very useful as ' galactagogue ' for mothers after delivery. Its regular use is very helpful in maintaining quality and quantity of milk.
              b.. Other generic preparations of Asparagus recemosus (Shatavari) and Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) such as Shatavari Ghrita, Ashvagandhadi Churna, etc., can also be taken for maintaining the quality as well as quantity of milk.
              c.. For the cases of cracked nipple, local application of 'Shatadhouta Ghrita' on the affected nipple is very useful.

                  Article: 'Yoga for better Sleep ' by Ruchita Tripathi Upadhyay  
            Sleep means total relaxation of body and mind, no activity of mind, no movement in mind. It is the state of unconsciousness as for as outwards moving consciousness is concerned. Mind does not function in real sleep. If dream is there, it is not sleep.
            Sleep is very important support to health. Sleep holds a unique value for Health and can be even considered as one of the boons which God has given to Human beings. Natural sleep gives complete rest to the body and mind and provides psychic energy and enthusiasm. But if we do not know how to take natural sleep, it may not be much helpful in giving rest. To keep anyone awake without allowing him to sleep is one of the cruelest punishments that can be given to anybody. If sleep is taken away from human beings, the entire world will be converted into a madhouse.
            If every person follows this regime, this will eradicate diseases from world.
