herbal nutrition­ my two pence vinay ravindranath sr research fellow institute of ayurveda and integrative medicine bangalore life it changes every moment and we re not sure where the next turn will lead us to the future is a mystery but we know only one thing about it that it will be something we may not expect there are jingles in advertisements saying looking at you this occurred to us so true life changes when we look when we see and observe its paths dr ms subhashini passi editor indore manager herbs yoga and ayurveda for you media and market forces are informing us about the use of herbs why so a few other questions are coming to our minds what are herbs are herbs useful what is a herbal life style were herbs not essential in olden days what is the use of knowing about herbal life style all these are the usual questions that we do face everyday common sense tells us that herbs can be used in many ways but is their use a must in our diet some say that our diet should remain natural in its contents and form they say that cooking of food spoils the natural components of our diet they further say that cooking creates new problems but still others say that cooking overcomes many issues of food diet and even life inconveniences as a result they recommend enriched food and also suggest the use of `fast food `processed food `instant two-minute food the counter argument is that these are junk foods the junk food loses vitamins minerals and other useful components that are required in a balanced diet they believe in old styles of processing called grand-mother s `nuskhas old style-strategy uses well researched herbs consume natural food stuff employ indigenous methods of cooking use yoga and follow ayurveda whenever needed ayurveda is the oldest science of life a system of diet healing and health maintenance and is deeply spiritual in origin ancient seers described the human body and the body of the universe as composed of prana the primal energy the vital life force which manifests in the form of earth water fire air and ether any imbalance of these elements in our body experiences as illness discomfort or pain these elements are kept in harmony by a healthy body that consumes them through breath food water sunshine exercise and sleep also our yogis found food stuffs such as grains fruits vegetables seeds beans herbs and roots as vital carriers and balancers for the energy of prana in the body the power of these foods manifests only when they are used in the proper combinations and in complete coordination with the unique conditions of each individual the whole system responds to the nourishment that comes from the subtle tastes and aromas of the special blend of spices and herbs the subtle herbs spices and aromas play a vital role in bringing us to a deeper level of health and well being faith is taking the first step when you can t see the staircasemartin luther king so what are you waiting for come emancipate yourself from mental slavery and let go your old habits of eating we live in what we call the modern era there s a solution to every problem and a problem to every solution there are experiments to bring forth innovation in science to change every aspect of the life that had existed a few moments back we ve transcended from the era of the video cassettes to now watching movies and storing them on our mobile phones if every moment every aspect of life is changing then why should nutrition not be any different i decided to ask my friends and colleagues about this aspect everyone has an opinion on eating what to eat what not to eat what ll shed that last pound and what will increase it to two in life everyone seems to be a nutritionist i ve heard so many opinions about this that now i m not sure if eating itself is a healthy option give up pizzas junk food chocolates sweets eat more vegetables no rice it is full of sugar lots of chapattis don t take milk full ­ dilute it with water instead gosh with so many rules coming up nutrition will end up becoming an exam where calories and weight determine the winner don t be surprised i mean it if you ve tried every type of nutrition then why not try something that you used to herbal nutrition is an option too it has been in existence long before the modern medicine agreed it hasn t changed with time but it doesn t mean the value has reduced i m sure you d buy a diamond necklace that was purchased a year back by someone else because you know its value hasn t changed much at all the traditional approach to medicine has been tried and tested for generations and it has been passed down from them too say in your childhood you had got a cold before your parents would take you to a doctor grandmother would have mentioned rub his head with some powder it ll help to spread the heat and remove the chills from his body in all probability your mother or father would have experienced that treatment from your grandparents before too it works it still does yet it s the notion that the value of something changes with time that has diminished the usage of such effective treatments i m twenty three but there is a small bald patch already whenever my grandparents see it they suggest such remedies i ve tried some and it has worked traditional medicine has a main advantage that we don t need to be ill to consume it we can maintain it as part of our nutrition and like that it merges with our lifestyle the nutrition when not time restrained continues to improve our health and keeps it steady and growing rather than going to a doctor when health is affected we ourselves become more involved in making sure that we re not affected in any health problem be it mental or physical we begin to understand what we can or cannot consume and plan our nutrition accordingly when mind begins to understand mental health becomes very stable and only if your mind is positive will your physical health tend to shine rather than just a particular aspect of health improved herbal or conventional or traditional medicine improves our whole life i do not mean to tell you that right from this very moment you ve to become a vegetarian and eat only herbs no way that s not true to you or your body what we can have is something only we know treat the body accordingly when you respect your body it returns that respect and smiles so we smile along with it smile and the whole world smiles with you 1 herbal life and nutrition march 11 editorial advisory board mr jagdish verma chairman ilead school of business mr shailesh niyogi director lokmanya

industry insight indian herbal industry set to flourish good times are here again for the indian herbal industry as per study commissioned by the associated chamber of commerce and industry assocham the indian herbal industry is projected to double to rs.15 000 crore by 2015 from the current 7,500 core business the industry seems to growing handsomely thanks to the popularity of `made-in-india herbal products and surge in medicinal treatment across the world the growth witnessed by the sector will only help sme s small and medium enterprise witness a major jump in their revenue base the side effects of allopathic medicines and the growing awareness about the medicinal benefits of herbal products are accelerating the demand for dietary supplements and herbal-based beauty aids world-wide this in turn is leading to the growth of indian sme s in the sector as well however the growing demand will have to be backed by quality drugs adherence to global standardization processes and setting up high r&d base to make their presence felt in the global platform further increase in cultivation of herbal plants and putting in place a complete network covering technical institutional and industry link will also help in advancing the development of indian herbal drug manufacturers and suppliers as per the study the indian market can be divided into two categories one that covers raw material needed by the industries and direct consumption for household remedies while second category that comprises ready to use finished medicines health supplements etc the study reveals that there is a growing demand for raw stock which primarily comprises amla isabgol senna henna ashwagandha aloe-vera and myrobalans hartaki which comprises over 75 percent of the raw materials employed in ayurvedic medicines the assocham study however is of the view that india s contribution to the world herbal market is very low vis-à-vis the rich resource of medicinal plants and wealth of knowledge in this area the study has suggested that india should be more export oriented to achieve the targeted growth and market share healthy you rajat maheshwari module lead ibm india pvt ltd pune how are you before you say fine thanks think for a moment how are you really when you wake up in the morning do you long to roll over and grab another three hours sleep do you look in the mirror and wonder where that fresh taut-skinned youth has gone do you suck on coffee after coffee all day long yet still feel irritable and exhausted are you in short sick and fed-up of being feeling sick and fed-up if this is you you are not alone a large proportion of us feel this way for decades the popular belief that held its place amongst us `health is wealth is replaced by wealth is health with our busy lifestyles and the urge to be wealthier we forgot to be healthier the fluids have been replaced from water to aerated drinks fresh fruit juices to tinned juices mini snacks are now wafers and cookies irony is things are now costlier and unhealthier the new generation is more inclined towards junk foods-two minute makes and have lost the definition of health foods and importance of exercising who has the time for a morning walk yoga exercise and the likes it s what retired and old people do who really need it defends this generation who s full of aggression to make money while the sun shines we fall prey to minor niggling health problems cases of obesity slip disc migraine high blood pressure and depression have increased by leaps and bounds is it due to the stress at work the car fumes in the atmosphere the preservatives in our food well yes it is all of those things add in too many cups of tea a few sessions of cigarettes too many late nights and no exercise we realize the threat but we don t act unless we suffer consider yourself blessed if all work and no play have kept you healthy and hearty as time passes these cases will increase and therefore to make sure your health is not disturbed start managing your time so what to do book yourself into a health spa or a fitness club for next five years visit a doctor for health check-up every other week better simply change your lifestyle and it can work wonders to your well-being think about it if your car was rattling to bits and refusing to start in the mornings you d take it straight in for a service perhaps it s time to do the same thing for yourself if you seriously want to get healthy you ll have to get moving it could be as small as taking the staircase instead of the lift your aim is to raise your heart rate a little get yourself slightly out of breath and get your muscles attuned to the idea that they are going back to work after the long holidays you can push your group of friends to join an evening gym­ that could be your hang-out with pals everyone experiences stress without it we would be so laid back we would hardly move our lives would be at a standstill and we d be incapable of reacting to danger but never overstress yourself a good laugh in between grueling work hours would help you to relieve and enable you to sleep better afterwards drink plenty of water at least two litres of water a day three if you work in an office with air conditioning or do regular exercise which makes you sweat drinking towards the study also revealed that indian herbal products are more popular among the indian diaspora however a need is being felt to make them popular among the locals in foreign lands markets europe north america china india others total present

reflections why we shout when in anger a hindu saint who was visiting river ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks shouting in anger at each other he turned to his disciples smiled and asked why do people shout in anger shout at each other disciples thought for a while one of them said because we lose our calm we shout but why should you shout when the other person is just next to you you can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner asked the saint disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples finally the saint explained when two people are angry at each other their hearts distance a lot to cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other the angrier they are the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance what happens when two people fall in love they don t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close the distance between them is either nonexistent or very small the saint continued when they love each other even more what happens they do not speak only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love finally they even need not whisper they only look at each other and that s all that is how close two people are when they love each other he looked at his disciples and said so when you argue do not let your hearts get distant do not say words that distance each other more or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return they may end up in divorce

sanjha vichaar the monkeys go fasting a group of monkeys decide to go on a fast one day before we begin i think we should keep the food with which we ll break the fast ready counseled the old monkey chief the monkeys nodded their heads in agreement the youngsters were sent in search of food they returned with huge hands of deliciouslooking bananas i think each of us should keep our share of bananas with us before we begin our fast so that we don t spend time distributing them after we break our fast you can imagine how hungry we all will be by then said the chief s wife the monkeys liked the idea and they collected their share of the bananas why don t we peel one banana and keep it ready to eat said one of the youngsters yes let s do that shouted a fat monkey in agreement just looking at the bananas was making him hungry all right said the monkey chief we shall peel the bananas but under no condition should we eat them so the monkeys peeled their bananas and carefully kept them ready for eating in the evening can i keep the banana in my mouth i promise not to eat it till evening please a little monkey asked his father why don t we all put a banana in our mouth that way we can chew it immediately when we break the fast said his father who had agreed to go on the fast only because his wife had not given him a choice as long as we don t eat it it should be fine he added

men who worships this mortar and pestle don t you know said the woman pretending great surprise it is my husband s deity a strange deity it is too it demands human blood when my husband comes home he ll pick up the pestle and hit you on your heads to draw blood so many times i have told him don t do it don t do it because it is i who have to clean the floor afterwards ponnan returned just then and he was puzzled to see the men hurrying away from his house they wanted the pestle explained his wife and i refused to give it to them oh you foolish woman said the husband if they wanted the pestle you should have given it and he picked up the pestle and ran after them come back come back he shouted to the men you can take the pestle the men already badly frightened thought he was coming to hit them with the pestle and ran for their lives ponnan sometimes wondered why people had stopped accepting his invitations and why his wife smiled every time she touched the pestle but she never let out

the needs of modern trade and the results are most encouraging the channel strategy has been devised to focus on key segments based on strategic attractiveness and total-cost-toserve principles to address the complexities posed by the rapid ramp up of modern trade our traditional posed by the expectation of higher levels of efficiencies on shelf availability and inventory are also being addressed by our supply chain system more efficient supply-chain practices like electronic order and data processing and changing processes to facilitate e-payments etcetera have been put into place in the future do you think `natural will drive the health products industry in india amit burman we are already seeing this happening a growing number of consumers particularly in urban markets are increasingly taking to healthy foods though it is still a largely urban phenomenon the consumer base for such products in on the rise dabur has been at the forefront of healthy and natural products which is one of the prime reasons for our continued growth in fact we are now witnessing many mncs trying to follow this path by introducing natural variants of their products dabur with its portfolio of juices under the réal and active brands is already a dominant player in the health food and drinks market today réal is india s leading packaged preservative-free fruit juice brand from its launch in 1997 as india s first juice brand today réal offers the largest range of fruit juices it is also first brand to create variants suited to the indian palate like litchi guava and mausambi that said we continue to look at adding greater value to the product by offering an even healthier version a step in this direction was the introduction of the activ range a few years back this range does not have any added sugar activ also offers a range of healthy fruit variants like fruit and vegetable blends including orange-carrot mixed fruit cucumberspinach etcetera we have also introduced vegetable juices and a fruit soya range this last combines the taste of fruits and the goodness of soya which is known to be one of the best sources of vegetable proteins fruit soya is targeted at health

movies/sports and young goodlooking models watched in amusement an old grandmotherly lady promoting the brand not just that the brand ambassador referred to as dadima a hindi language term for grandmother broke the stereotype image associated with grandmothers and people of that age group in the country unlike the typical grandmothers she was aware of the latest trends and happenings in the

the advertisements managed to establish the credibility of dadima and ayurvedic concepts in general not only did it promote ayurveda as a science but was able to build a huge amount of recall for ayurvedic concepts in the next two years ayurvedic concepts became reasonably successful and its visibility increased considerably however in a surprise move in december 2001 hdc announced that it
