Puranic remedies for diseases

The Ayurveda is a veda which was created by Lord Prajapati after thorough understanding of the 4 vedas - Rik, Yaju, Saam and Atharva. By referring to these vedas, Lord Prajapati created the 3rd veda Ayurveda.
This Ayurveda was first given to Lord Surya. Lord Surya later shared it with many many disciples.

In Sanatana Dharma, there are 16 great vaidya(doctors). viz. Dhanvantari, Kashiraaj(Shiv), Divodaas, the 2 ashwini kumars, nakul, Sahdev, Yamraj, Chyavan, Janak, Son of Chandra - Lord Budha, Jabal, Jajali, Pail, Karath and Brahma Rishi Agastya.
They also created their own tantras on medicines and treatment of diseases.
Lord Yamraj created Gyananarva tantra, Budh created SarvaSaar tantra and Brahmarishi Agastya created Dvaidha-nirnaya.

Ayurveda has cures for even the most incurable diseases.
Today, I will share the remedies that are suggested by gods for controlling diseases and staying healthy.


The mordern Ayurveda says that any kind of diseases are caused due to vatta, pitta and kapha imbalance. ccording to ancient ayurveda there is another dosh called as tridoshaja.

The  normal jaundice i.e. Initial hepatitis, the severe jaundice Leprosy,  Gastroenteritis, Spleen, Angina, Viral fever, Diarrhoea, Cough,  Ulcer, Chicken pox,Cirrhosis of Liver, Stangury, Loss of blood, impurity of blood, diseases caused due to impurity or lack of blood, Tumor, Toxin consumption, Kubj( Spinal cord related condition which makes a person crooked), Breast and esophagus diseases, Hallucinations, Typhus, Cholera, Depression - there are the greatest diseases according to sanatana Dharma.


I will now share the remedies which one must perform  for a healthy body life -

1. The person who washes eyes with water, who performs vyayam, who applies oil on his feet, one who puts oil in his ears & the one who applies oil on his head always remains disease free.

2. Vasant Ritu(Spring season) - According to ur religion, in vasant ritu,the person who does regular walks, absorbs heat in little quantities and the person who has physical relations with his new wife doesnt face jara avastha i.e. problem of diseases.
3. Grishma Ritu(Summer) - In Grishma ritu, the person who baths with water of well, applies chandan on his body and dos ample amounts of pranayam never faces diseases.

4. Varsha Ritu(Monsoon Season) - The person who bathes with hot water, one who doesnt drink rain water, one who eats only as much as his hunger - such a person's body stays young even if he may 70-80 years old by age.

5. Sharad Ritu(Autumn season) - The person who avoids intense sunlight and stops going anywhere when there is intense sunlight never suffers from the effects of old age. Other than this, whatever is specified for Monsoon above must also be followed in this season.

6. Hemant ritu( Fall Season) and Shishir Ritu( Winter ) - The person who baths early in the morning in these 2 seasons, one who eats hot and freshly cooked warm food don't suffer from the pain of diseases.

7. The person who eats fresh and warm food, one who eats kheer, jaggery and ghee daily doesn't get affected by the effects of old age.

8. The one who eats meat, has sex with an old lady, one who eats 5 days old curd always suffers from multiple kinds of diseases.
9. One who eats food only when hungry, drinks water only when thirsty and the person who eats tambul(betel leaf and supari) every day doesn't get affected by the effects of old age.

10. One who eats curd at night,one who has sex with a menstruating girl/widow/prostitute/widow/old aged  get affected by numerous diseases before others.
11. One who has sex with a menstruating girl/widow/prostitute/widow/old aged or the person who eats food cooked by them is considered as maha paapi.

12. Bathing immediately after having food, drinking water even if not thirsty, applying sesame oil on body, Having food that is cooked in rancid oil, drinking rancid amla juice, eating stale food, drinking butter milk, eating lot of bananas, eating curd, drinking rain water/ sugary water, drinking coconut water,Bathing without applying oil first,  eating watermelon, eating over-riped cucumbers, bathing with well water in rainy season, eating radish in rainy season - all these cause a rise in kapha. The more you do these activities, the more your kapha will rise and go to sahasra chakra. Once it reaches sahasra chakra, it causes great destruction of semen.


Sins and diseases are considered as the best of friends. The both go together everywhere.Sins  give rise to diseases, old agedness and obstacles in life.
It is only sins which bring daridrataa, sadness, sorrow, and immense depression in life.
That is why, the yogis and the rishis always stay away from sins. Because sins gives rise to supreme animosity, doshas and misfortunes.

In Sanatana Dharma, one's guru and isht devta are considered supreme than all devtas. Nothing can ever happen to the person who worships his isht devta or guru faithfully. Even if such a person is the enemy of all other gods.
Though, it is very obvious to understand that this rule doesn't apply if you are an adharmi.


The person who eats fruits of a bel tree or a palm tree and immediately drinks water after it, goes to to the  upper lokas very very soon.

As there are 1000s of diseases, i cannot share a remedy for each disease. However, I am sharing a few remedies which are suggested by our puranas.

For shanti of pitta -
1. Mix cold water, sugar and powdered coriander seeds  and drink it to balance pitta.
2. Grams, Panchgavya, curd, Moong daal - all these pacify our pitta and give instant strength and nourishment.
3. To remove kapha - do lots of exercises and make yourself sweat a lot, eat raw bananas, do fasts, eat honey.
4. To remove vaat - Don't fight/have sex/run/walk/absorb heat/talk rudely/fear something/worry about something; instantly after having your food. To pacify vaat,  eat ripe bananas, drink cold water, have bath with warm water.

One thing to keep in mind that everything is the root of our sins. if you do sins, you will inevitably suffer from diseases.

  1. Sir, could you please tell whether cold water bath is good for the body or hot water bath is good , because I have read in one of the yoga text one should take bath in cold water except old aged people,and the one who is suffering from diseases and small children everyone should do cold water bath, please clear my doubt!!
