There is nothing alarming in this unless it is something related to Spinal cord.Mostly it is not so.However,Back Pain is not to be Considered as a laughing matter.In fact everyone in a life time Will suffer from some type of Back Pain. Although Backpain is a common disorder like common cold,it could become sometimes very painful producing total discomfort.Infact the source of exact pain is very difficult to identify or pinpoint.Asa matter of fact there are numerous possible pain sources such as Muscles,soft connective Tissues,discs and nerves.

Often,there is a chain reaction also Which contribution to the pain of the person's experience. This is because in the body of a person various chemical substances are released in response to tissue Irritation,damage,or injury.These substances stimulate the surrounding Pain sensitive NerveFibersResulting in the sensation of pain. Similarly,small tears that occur in the outer layer of a spinal disc can produce severe pain on the back.

This condition might persist for a week or two.It makes no difference how long the pain lasts .so long as it affect you or your near and dear Ones it is a matter of concern for all and should never be ignored.Even if the source of pain could not be determined accurately,the good thingbabout back pain is that it subsides over a month or less while the affected tissue get healed itself.80% of Low Back pains are not of serious nature .it could be healed at the most in 6 weeks There are generally three categories of Back pains.Acute,Chronic and Recurrent Acute.The Acute pain susides itself as mentioned above. CHRONIC BACK PAIN is Generally described as Pain that lasts for months together and is often less correlated to tissue damage or Injury and may be a result of More Long-term spine condition or other related Muscle Weakness, body weight ,and certain Life stressors. Recurrent Acute back pain is Intermittent.it comes and goes Or flares-up from time to time. Most of the back pains can be cured with the use of over- the - counter medications such as Using AcetamInophen, non- Steroidal ante- Infammatory Drugs or analgesicPain relievers to reduce Swellings and aches associated with back pain.These kinds of Medications proved to be very effective in reducing symptoms and providing comfort. Even though these drugs are effective they do not relax the Skeletal Muscles.The real function of these drugs is to calm or sedate the central Nervous systemAnd also helps to get sleep and to reduceContributing muscular or emotional Tension associated with severe pain. But though these drugs are relieving they can not relieve pain relating to skeletal muscles.These drugs just sedate The central nervous system and help to get sleep and to reduce muscular pain and emotional tension. associated with severe back pain..Narcotic or Opioids are strong drugs which gives fast relief but should be taken only with the advice of a Physician. In almost all diseases complete rest is being advices by Doctors. but for back pain rest is secondary.one should continue with regular activities including walking which is considered as a cardio vascular exercise .this helps to the flowing of blood and nutrients to the affected area which eases the pain. However,lifting of weight and contractual sports and games activities should be continues only after taking advice from a Physician. Now let us have a look into the treatments to be followed for backspin.Both Ice treatment and Heat treatment are Common for Backpain.But one should know When these treatments are to be taken Ice reduces inflammation or swelling By decreasing blood flow from Consticted blood vessels.Placing an icepack over the affected area after the pain begins.

Women and their right equal to men- Vedic culture

This blog, The complete the material incorporated is not mine.I saw a part of this on the Net as interesting gyan which influenced my attitude immensely. So I thought I should share the knowledge I gathered with social net work so that others also could read,appreciate or reject the way they deemed fit.The synopsis of what I learned from net is briefed below: The Hindu Vedic culture is not basically against women which prevents them from taking part in Vedic rituals. There are some vested interests that gave a publicity that the Vedic deeds are out of bounds for women. The Vedic Attitude towards Women is very pure,clear and in no way on ambiguous terms. As we all know and consider the Women are the pillars of Society.It is impossible to thrive in our society without the services from women.Still there are some who boast they could manage everything without help from Women.This kind of attitude is just Myth and ignorance.Women have equal Status,education,Resources and Dignity as much as men do. In fact,if a society has to stand up with their heads high,it is an inevitable need to involve women in all the areas of activity such as knowledge,Dignity and Leadership. But our history shows that the the women were ignored to make it so unfortunate as to the extent of considering Women as a commodity either for sensual Pleasure Or for servile jobs.This did not happen in a day.The degradation of women started before 1000 years of Mahabharat. Later when the Islamic invasion in the middle ages took place the degradation process which was prevailing had deteriorated further resulting in the society becoming weaker and weaker day by day. In short it turned into Cavardly,tortured,multilated,And devastated. The Vedic advice on women had at all times been encouraging for them and never underestimated their ability and dignity. But these virtues of Vedic culture were ignored later on and the price paid for it had been indeed very heavy. In the name of Dharma ,though not mentioned so anywhere in Vedas,The undeserving lot among the ancient Indians dictated that Women did not deserved the right to study Vedas or recite Vedic Mantras. They were not shameful to spread this as a norm and to adhere to it so as to make the society hypocritical. They were the real enemies of Hinduism who denied the right for women to stud Vedas or even reciting the Mantras. Even though there are clear evidences towards atrocities on women were started with the invasion of the Mughals and to some extent after the regime of Britishers, there does not appear to have any evidence of who made the scripts disallowing the women to study Vedas and chantMantras. Anyhow,this was imposed on women and the torture and atrocities were being continuesd even today in the form of Misbehavior and attacks on womwen.Mostly poor women are subjected to the torture . Every Government claim to have made rules ,laws and regulations to protect women but none of this is found to be effective as is evident from the fact that the women are being attacked under the nose of the so called great rulers. The guilty are not punished enough. If one makes a close examination of the the Vedic rituals that are being performed even today in different placces Called "yajnas" and " Yagas" ( for eg Athiraatram) we could find that the women are afforded prominent places in The process The Yajaman ( the performer of Yajna) performs the Yajna with wife.Scholars perform their Yajna with wives to achieve ultimate Bliss.In some places of Rigveda it is mentioned about the mother and sisters performing Yajna together and achieving Bliss.All the members ofa family together are also allowed to perform Yajna to achieve Bliss. Thus the Vedas are not against the women performing Vedic rituals In some places now the Women started mingling with men to perform Yajnas and Yagas though not popular. This should be continued widely among our cocieties.As such proposals preventing women was made by some prominent persons who are in the frontline of the Hindu Societies especially Bhramin community raise their eyebrows and ultimately close their eyes when it comes to making decision.This kind of attitudes should cease to exist. Recently in The famous Guruvayur Temple the women who were not allowed to enter with Churidar & Pajamas were allowed to do so.But the system where restrictions are imposed on dress code and the need to enter without shirt ,pant or vests for men prevailing in Guruvayur is still being observed in Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum This system still prevail in many Temples in India while such restrictions are not prevailing in the Temples abroad where the worship is being done without making any restriction for dress code It is a matter which can not digest what the dress has to do with the Bhakti cult in India.if the mind of the person is pure and clear what has it to do with the dress code.The vice versa,if the mind is not clear and pure how the dress code alone can make the worship of God worthy? The norm prescribed ( but not being strictly followed by devotees)is that devotees should take bath before entering a Temple.This norm implies the refreshing of the body which can be appreciated. But no way to ensure that everyone enters Temple refreshed Since India is being ruled by the Party which gives principles of Hindutua more stress than anything else will it be possible for the present Government to remove all restrictions prevailing now relating to visiting Temples ? Will this Government look into the need to eradicate Atrocities on women ,besides making rules and regulations alone on the matter? Coming back to the Vedic culture,there had been many Universities in India dealt with the study of Vedas and other topics such as Grammar,Philosophy ,Ayurveda ,Agriculture,Surgery ,Politics,Archery,Warfare,science,Music,Dance and many more subjects . All these universities are scattered and spread over India,Pakistan and Bengladesh in ruined state.They are mainly as indicated below: 1) Nagarjunakonda(AP)India,2)Nalanda,Patna,India,3)Jagaddala,Bengal,India 4)Sharda Peeth- Sarda( Pak occupied Kashmir)5) Thakshasila( Rawalpindi) Pakistan!6)Vikramasila( Bihar),India 7)Somapura Mahavihara( Bengladesh ). The pictures of these ruined Universities are shown below respectively in the above order:

Even though nothing useful could be done with these Universities can the present Government giving importance to Hindutua would be able to trace at least the scripts relating to them to know more about them.These could be available and spread over Museums all over the World. Just one University with name Banaras Hindu University exists now after all others were destroyed by Mughal Invasion and British Invasion. If any trace of the documents ( Scripts) could be made it could throw more light to the Vedic culture India, since Independence was ruled by many different parties like Congress,Janata Party,NDA and UPA. It is absurd to say that since Independence Congress alone ruled India over 65 years mostly by Nehru family.Others too have ruled this noble country.However,wide publicity as to the Nehru family alone ruled India was spread to make people believe with a view to getting into Power.None of the rulers ever made any attempt to retrieve the remains of Vedic culture. None was interested in promoting& Protecting women the way they deserved to exist equally in par with men. Similarly none showed any progress to remove all the unwarranted customs prevailed over the Temples in India Will the present regime highlighting themselves as the protectors of Hindutua would be able to look into the matters mentioned above? Performing YOGA alone without removing the dirt of bad thoughts from mind while performing, just for the sake of posing for Photographs alone can not refine and purify India.

Good and bad exercises for Heart

There are various kind of exercises for the body like Swimming,playing,running,jogging and Walking. Out of this the Best is Swimming .But this may not suit everyone though it gives full exercise for the entire body.In case you are not happy with swimming better avoid it because if not done systematically and regularly it might produce Ill effects on your health especially on the Heart. The best way of exercise for working class who normally do not find enough time in the morning ,can do it in the evening in the form of Brisk walking.But here also simple walking for 30 or 60 minutes of Brisk walking may not Necessarily help the Heart.The best way of walking most helpful for the Heart is performing it with intervals. This simply means that one should walk normal way for 3 minutes and turn to Brisk walking for 2 minutes and repeat the process until the 30 or 60 minutes are over.The advantage one could derive helpful for the Heart is that by resorting to this method one could help the the Heart to lower and increase the rate of Heart beat .This continous process of lowering and increasing not only helps to Improve vascular function and in burning calories but makes the body more efficient at clearing fat and sugar from the Blood as well. Thus this method of walking with interval has the triple advantage of keeping the Heart and body healthier. The YOGA is considered to be best form of exercise if one can do it with absolute concentration because of the the calmness it provides to lower the Blood pressure and in making the Blood vessels more elastic In promoting the health of the Heart.But how many are there who are capable maintaining the concentration to the extent of forgetting everything for a few minutes to achieve the calmness of Yoga? most of the people are pretending to have lost themselves in concentration but just a few who practice Yoga regularly are able to maintain the advantage of it. Thus the triple advantage mentioned above is lost unless one is perfect in performing Yoga.Just posing for photograph is not everything to do with Yoga. Acharyas who do it for long time with absoluute concentration of mind can derive the divine benefits of Yoga.First of all mind should be clear of any wrong and unwarranted thoughts while performing Yoga.Infants below 6 months of age are the best examples of real YOGA process while they are put to sleep by singing Lulabies to them.Yoga also needs practice to hold breathing.If one has to achieve the full advantage derived from Yoga ,it should be accompanied by Salutation to Sun( The Surya Namaskar) People who are engaged during the entire day by doing physical work are the best blessed people who are able to burn more calories and are generally healthier than those who perform 30 to 60 minutes walking a day.The workers who work the entire day by sweating and sweating are the best category of people who help to maintain a healthy heart.It is very rare a worker dying because of Hear Attack.they die mostly due to violence from Strikes or More commonly due to accidents from their site of work. The worst form of exercise ,which is being followed by some people,is running on the pavements as it invites pain and injuries.It could be helpful to heart in one way but not good for people with history of heart attack. For that matter any Rigorous or Vigorous Exercise not learnt from training from experts could do more harm to Heart than hlping it. The last but not the least, is that any exercise aiming at healthy body and Heart should be performed only after Warm up exercise .This is the reason why sportsmen and players do the warm up before they start the real game.So if you are a walker ( mostly people are) take 5 minutes of slow walking before indulging into Normal and Brisk walking This Blog is a continuation of my Blog on exercise posted on 24th of June 2 SreedharanMundanat 26th of June 2015

Now we are in the age of Yoga.Of course, Yoga is one of the best form of exercises.Exercise is the essence of good health and Good heart.Yoga if one prefers ,he should be able to maintain it regularly.Otherwise it could instead of benefits could become a factor for unwarranted muscle pains.Everyone ,especially employed may not be in a position to perform yoga every day like some yoga acharyas do. So for those who prefer exercise for the body can do it by adopting different methods of exercises. If one stops exercise all of a sudden andvskip it for a few days he might find that skipping had an aftereffect of Producing body pain.If one is in pain,there is a temptation To skip exercise further.If you decide shaker this and continue to do exercise it will have the effect of reducing the pain gradually and bringing you back to normalcy.

According to experts and Doctors,the exercise can allow people Not only to reduce their perception of pain but to overcome limited functioning too as well. In case you can afford to ,it is better to prefer taking the staircase to an escalator or elevator.There is nothing to consider as below dignity if you prefer staircase.Let those mock at you have their pleasure while you also enjoy your own pleasure of helping your health by doing this extra exercise. One should remember that exercise and Physical activity are not Something that one does extra to get extra healthy On the contrary it is something that is necessary for the normal function of the body.We are meant to exercise quiteca bit everyday and if we do not follow this ,we are indirectly allowing our body to malfunction without our Knowledge.This forces us to consult doctors and taking medicines as advised. Exercise is a must to control blood sugar value.Those who have high blood sugar value has to necessarily exercise regularly.This is because inactivity is the foundational piece there always which develops into diseases. There are many types of exercises to choose from according to the practical need The best exercise for everyone to choose is brisk walking in the morning as well as evening for a minimum of half an hour a day.Even if one is unable to stick to the regular plan ,and had to skip walking for a day or two ,it would not harm you much so long as you are ready to resume it at the earliest. In the case of Yogas where breathing exercise is also involved skipping it could become harmful. People would preach about Yoga for publicity but putting it into regular practice is the most vital part of it. Practising of holding breathing for long duration is the essence of Yogas.
