Daily regimen (Dincharya): cleansing the teeth and oral cavity (Dant dhavan)

Ayurveda scriptures advise the use of different types of fresh herbal twigs to clean the teeth and oral cavity and strengthen the gums. Their use has numerous benefits. Yet, many individuals may not find their use feasible due to the lack of availability of fresh herbal twigs.  In such cases, herbal tooth powders (now widely available in the market), are a good alternative.  Here are some tips on using them: 1. Evaluate your general health and state of digestion [Important: Consult your physician].

The loop

Constellation of narratives competing for attention,  Baiting the mind, Persistent bombardment, inadvertently and eventually one falls in the trap, Coordinated, Stepwise involvement, Confusing, deluding, blinding the mind,   Depleting energy reserves, Attempting to break morale, Mandating a response and corresponding action.

Holistic healing pathways

Self awareness, holistic understanding, acceptance, ability to self regulate, maturity, experience, wellness status (physical, psychological) are key personal factors that determine how one responds to a conflicting event. Deficiency in one or more of these factors forms a fertile ground that influences ones ability to face the outcome of an event. Inability to accept an outcome or preference for a particular favorable outcome implies significant involvement or oneness in the event/its outcome thus triggering a conflict.    a. Soul that is not deficient in the factors listed earlier: Such a soul sees through the event (~play), realizes the circumstance, in full acceptance and choice-less mode maturely responds to it. It does not have any agenda and preference. The flow of event continues and soul continues on its journey unperturbed.  b. Soul that is deficient in the factors listed earlier: If the conflict is not intense enough, it may not activate corresponding reso...
