Ayurvedic medicine for joints

A preparation for the joints and a moment of peace are shared.

Lie on your side. Relax completely. Imagine a forest. Feel only peace. An Ayurvedic joint preparation is now described. One betel leaf is needed. Betel leaf is available in Indian shops. Chuna, a natural calcium paste, is used in a matchstick-size amount. Gulkand, a rose-petal jam, is added half a teaspoon. It possesses cooling properties. One raisin is included. A garlic clove and an equal-size piece of ginger are used. One clove, one green cardamom, and one or two black pepper are crushed. The crushed spices are mixed with gulkand and raisin. Chuna is spread on the leaf. The mixture is added. A quarter teaspoon of fennel seeds is placed on top. The leaf is folded and placed in the mouth at night. It remains during sleep. Chewing is not required. The leaf stays whole. The preparation can be made for seven days and stored in the fridge. There are no problems with this preparation. Joint improvement appears gradually over two to three months. This practice benefits all joints, even if severely damaged. It is effective at any age.

"Just relax. Don't think anything. Only think what you are thinking."

"It will take a time, these leaves and everything, and it is very, very, very good."

Oṁ Vole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavāna Kī Jai. Oṁ Boli Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Śrī Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Śrī Śrī Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Dharmasamrāṭa Paramahaṁsī Svāmī Madhavānanda Jī, Sattva Gurudeva Bhagavān Kī Jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṁsī Svāmī Mahāśvarānandajī, Guru Deva Kī Jai. Now everyone, please lie down on your side like this, because you cannot go like that. So your head is there, your legs are this way—no problem. Yes. Just for five minutes. Look, your head up there, your head upward there, so that you can sleep more peacefully. And if you are here or there, you can do this facing toward me or that way. But just five minutes—great things. It's already half a minute, seconds. Don’t worry about anything; it doesn’t matter what is happening. Just relax. Don’t think anything. Only think what you are thinking. Our few minutes are very relaxed, very good, and it will become even more peaceful and very good. Imagine a beautiful forest, very great and beautiful—no concerns about dress or anything of that sort, just very peaceful, very good, everything. Yes, about a quarter of an hour remains for us. In these five minutes, it will give you so much for your life, inside and out. Whatever it is, feel very happy, very good, and very relaxed. Now turn left or right and sit up. Only one you did not see—that’s my this, okay? That was also good. Now, I have something for you. I was doing it, and I was also looking very much, see, very much, and now I am also sitting, and it is very good. It is like this. So this is for our body. It is very great in India. Even Modiji is often associated with it, but Modiji is not here, yet many others have it, and many others do it. India is not just a medicine, but it offers many different things. So we will tell you. Stand up, and she, point by point, will tell us: what is that? What is there, and what is not there, or what is good—everything—this is the point. And then from that, it is for our joints. You want to take care of your joints with me? I have a problem with my own, but perhaps something will go very well for me—at least at 85. Nothing else is different. You can try it yourself, so that all our joints will come back. But not the day after tomorrow; it will be maybe two or three months, slowly, slowly, it is in this. And if not, many things will still be good. If a joint is very badly broken, that is, of course, different. But even there, it will be very good for that. So I begin myself now. If I can also do it, and I am feeling it already, and it’s not—how to say—big money. I already had three here, and it was very good. You just put it in your mouth, and it’s okay. And this is for all joints, every joint. And for that, there are so many things. Oh, that is looking something like—hey, it looks like my horse! This is my horse, or this side is my tiger. But this is very... You know what that is? Ginger. Okay? And there’s one little thing, you know that? Garlic. Garlic? Garlic is very good, but people say, “Ah, a little space.” It’s very... So when your husband eats this, your husband will say, “This smells. I will not sleep with you on the bed.” So it means you are happy. Tell your husband and your wife, or both. Yes, this is very nice. And then, Agni Devī, she will battle everything, okay? Please. Hari Om. So this is the Ayurvedic preparation for the joints. First, I will tell you the ingredients, then I will explain a little bit about where to get them. Most you can get from your kitchen, but three are a little harder to find, though they are also available here in Europe, so you can get them. The first is betel leaf. This is one of those not so easy to get, but we will explain later. So, one betel leaf. Then comes chuna, or limestone paste. It is packed in small packages like these. It comes from India. In Croatian, it’s called vapno; in English, it’s lime—not the fruit, but this is a powder mixed with water to become a paste. In Hindi, it’s chūnā. Then comes gulkand. Gulkand is an Ayurvedic preparation made of rose petals and a special kind of mishri sugar. You can get this in any Ayurvedic shop: Gulkand. Mmm, what is that gulkand? Oh my God, very nice, sweet. Next is raisin, only one piece. Fennel seeds—this you have in your kitchen. One clove of garlic, and the same size as that garlic clove, one piece of fresh ginger. So from this you cut only a piece that size. One piece of clove, very good. And when you keep it in your mouth for three days, you will see how nice it will be inside. Really. Next is one piece of green cardamom and one or two corns of black pepper. That is all. Now, we will tell you about the preparation and how to get the ingredients. The betel leaf is usually available in Indian shops. Where there is a big Indian community in Europe—Budapest, Vienna, London—you will find it in Indian shops. Sometimes they sell the whole plant, so you can buy it and grow it further. We were already inquiring, and it is available from India. The second ingredient, the chuna paste, is a natural form of calcium. We got it in these small packages. When you open it, it looks white. The quantity for one preparation is just the size of a matchstick’s top, so just a drop, basically. Now see, this is how much goes. This is for one time, meaning for one day’s mixture. So, one leaf, one matchstick‑size of chuna paste, one piece of raisin, and half a teaspoon of gulkand. Gulkand—gulab means rose—is a preparation of rose and a special Ayurvedic mishri sugar mixed together into a kind of rose petal jam. It has very good cooling properties; it is especially good for ladies who have problems with their cycle, and for many other things. They recommend it during the summer months because of its cooling effect. You can find it in any Ayurvedic store or shop, even in an Indian grocery store. Gulkand is the name, so half a teaspoon. Now green cardamom and black pepper: by hand you can roughly grind them; they needn’t become a fine powder, just roughly ground. Then you get a mixture. This mixture looks something like this, like a paste. You can prepare for seven days in advance so you don’t have to do it every day, and keep it in the fridge. Once you have this, you don’t mix it further. Put one matchstick‑size of chuna separately on the leaf, spread it, then put this paste of the spices (gulkand, raisins, crushed cardamom, cloves, pepper, garlic, ginger) on top. The fennel seeds can go separately because they are easy to chew. So one quarter teaspoon of fennel seeds you will put on top of this mixture, and then you roll it or fold it like this, close it, and make it into a small size so that it can go in your mouth. Yes, we can do two. One leaf you can use for two days: half a leaf for today, half a leaf for another day. So again, this mixture is gulkand, raisins, cardamom, clove, pepper, garlic, ginger—roughly crushed. Around half a teaspoon of that mixture goes in, and then the fennel on top. Now it is yourself, your palace bed. Sit down, sit down. I’m going like this. It comes like this, and each side again. So whole night I can be here, whole night, and that is very good how it is. But I will tell you what is with the bus, this is inside, that’s all. When I’m eating, probably I will. Eat together, otherwise, but is that it? I take it, okay, that’s all. So, do you have any questions? Any more questions, or this or that, once more? Tell, yes, please, tell. On the betel leaf goes chuna, the already pre-prepared mixture, and fennel seeds, one quarter teaspoon. It is better that in the evening, after eating and this and that, you put it in your mouth and you sleep. It remains ringing as it is the whole night, and if you bite a little, okay, no problem. But we need not; it is eating everything, nothing is going, everything is only here. It will take a time, these leaves and everything, and it is very, very, very good. I myself, sometimes I was eating this, a sanyāsī, a sanyāsī… In this different kind, there are people who are not good; they cannot eat vegetables anymore, or chew, or like this and that. This is just very green and very nice, and there are no problems. Others, they have red inside, you know, they put something red, and that is not good. So these people who eat something that is not good—but like this, this is the only, one of the best, and this chuna. Maito Channa Dedi Reitane Bheed Channa Ki Channa Ki Chani. So this is very good. Do you want to speak about something? We will bite very much, and we can chew completely. And with the warning, I had also. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhujī Karatā, Mahāprabhujī Karatā, and many people were making a very strong thing. So the people, they cannot eat very much; even my whole mouth will go broken inside. But this is nothing. There is no justice, and this is for this. So that’s why I have my friend there. Call him the telephone of the police. Do you have it? Then, everybody, we can sleep, and we can eat at our home, and if you don’t eat or something, still, it’s very nice. But in the wind, when it’s cold, then it’s not good, I think. He will go, so you have to have it in your house, something like this. So, this is number two. We make it ourselves, and we give you further. Because this is still something one cannot do easily how to do, I will do it, like this. For example, we make it like this. Now, we did it only for one week. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhujīp Karatā… How many, of course. So, how many are we here? And this is really, really for our joint; mostly joint is very much, very much, very, and other things are different, but this is very much. So, how would you like the joints for your hand up? I also have it now, you know, but it is about two or three months, yes. It is not quickly like this, like that. And it should not be much, very far. And so this is chūnā. A chuna. And chuna is a witch, chuna. They are very fine, very good, and very fine. And then you can have… Of course, it is always a building, a house building. All the time, it was only in you, this big building, you know, there. This is from which? Now it’s different. And that’s why, for how many thousands of years, we are still together. You know that there is only some in China, not all of China. It’s in China? Okay. And they made it here, and then later in Germany, they made it in the water. Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī. All broke this and many things, but there is very far and very good, that water and everything. I don’t know how many ages, but it was good. Also, Hari Hi Om.
