The Narams and Ayurveda
- SCHEDULE
Dr. Pankaj Naram and Dr.Smita Naram, both "Ayurvedacharia", are two Indian doctors commited to a purpose. Their medical mission started 11 years ago. Today they are among the best know doctors not only in India but in many other parts of the world.
HOW DID THEIR OWN AYURVEDIC REMEDIES START?
Around 20 years ago, Pankaj Naram was gooing bald. After having visited
many medical experts, he finally found the right cure from a "Vaidya" who practiced Ayurveda, the ancient science of herbal remedies. This was the starting point of the mission.
During his early pratice, Dr. Naram realized that the medicines prescribed were not effective.
He started thinking:
- Is my diagnosis correct?
- Are the combinations right?
- Do the ingredients contain the essential strenghth and purity that will achieve the desired results?
- Is the 5000 year old Ayurveda Science effective for to-days needs?
These questions compelled the Narams to a serious research. Their discoveries led to the following conclusions:
1.To prescribe medicines available on the market, raised doubts regarding quality, efficiency and purity. It induced them to a research of raw materials avaible on the market. They discovered a variety of them for sale.The less expensive ones were the most adulterated, therefore they decided to use the purest though expensive.
2. People's lifestyle has drastically changed in the last hundred years. What was beneficial to the body a long time ago, doesn't necessarily have to be valid to-day. Due to the intake of chemical substances trough food, water, polluted air and changes in our lifestyle, modern living has generated more complex ailments and excessive heat in the body. Heavy metals like arsenic,mercury,lead,etc. and hers hot in nature, present in any formula, were responsible for the excessive body heat. The Naram eliminated these herbs from their remedies.
3. Nowadays, irregular eating habit, unbalanced diet, excessive nourishment of heavy, fried and fatty foods, lack of tranquillity during meals,anxiety, fear and stress have become part of our dayly life. This affects the metabolism, the digestive fire and mental balance which consequently lowers "Bala"(strenght) and "Ojas" (immunity). An excessive sexual urge is an added problem. Thus, their Ayurvedic remedies had to increase vitality, immunity, Agni (metabolic and digestive fire) and decrease PITTA (heat) and stress.
This led to further research and progress. Hence, they decided to formulate their own remedies. They realized that the use of raw herbs posed a lot of questions:
1. Reduced shelf-life
2. Powdered herbs became ineffective 6 months after production
3. Doses prescribed as per texts ranged from 1g to 3g which amounted to a handful of powder to be taken each time.
Therefore they decide to use water solvent based extracts. The reasons justifying this decision were:
1. As all extracts having alchool or any other organic solvent, become hot nature since alcohol itself is hot, their basic Ayurvedic energy level change
2. All their formulas were based on etiology and pathogenesis of Ayurveda therefore the herbs used should also work according to Ayurvedic therapeutics.
3. In Ayurveda the process of producing extracts is called "Ghana". The processing of the herbs using water as solvent, is done at a very low temperature. The resulting decoction is dehydrated.
The work was not easy. They had to ensure the right ingredients, combinations, processes and timing. Therefore they decided to start production of their own remedies. They started this mission defining three major concepts.
Quality
- The right ingredient and the right processing.
Adulteration
- The wrong ingredient and the wrong quality
Efficacy
- The right combination for the right results.
These three concepts helped them establish a holistic approach, from selecting the raw materials and herbs, to quality production obtained by strigent controls, training of doctors and a staff to assist them.
They started with one patient a day. In two years there were 50. No advertising, no market strategy. Only word of mouth by patients cured by their remedies.
As the number of patient increased, so did the complexity of aliments. Every new complex ailment led them to further research so as to find the right solution. It persuaded the Naram to master the rare art of diagnosis trough "Pulse Reading".
They studied in depth the ancient scriptures dealing with Ayurveda. New remedies were formulated and experimented on thousands of people before finding the final combination. It was such exacting work that the Naram, for years, only slept a few hours a day. Much time, energy and hard - earned personal finances were spent in the process.
What makes dr. Naram's remedies effective?
1.These remedies have been successfully experimented on thousands of people who were under observation.
2. As matter of practice, clinical trials based on "single blind" and "double blind" studies have been carried out on most of the remedies.
3. Against the normal practice of using raw herbs, the Naram use herb extracts to manufacture the final product. This process is more effective and the remedies have longer shelf - life.
4. Stringent quality control measures are applied at every stage, from the selection of raw materials to the manufacture of the end product.
5. Constant work is undertaken in research and development of new remedies to improve the existing ones and to standardize raw materials and the finish products.
6. The finished remedy is analysed to ensure that no heavy metals, fertilizers,pesticides or micro-organisms are present.
All the remedies are formulated to help us face the problems of our times, physiological, mental or emotional.
