Thank you @Bharath1Chaitu for sharing this video. I can see that Fittuber is a very popular fitness expert on YouTube and has a lot of followers. I personally dont follow him, but I just saw he has put many videos in the name of #Ayurveda. Thread... (1/n) Image
One such video is

Ultimate Ayurvedic techniques to improve memory and concentration.
In this video he gives 4 steps (rather 4 medicines) in it to improve memory
1. Usage of Brahma rasayana in the morning. (2/n)
He says rasayana is something which has no side effects and anyone can take it.
Rasayana has its indications and contra-indications and it should be taken with caution especially people with health issues like DIABETES, Dyslipidaemia etc (3/n)
2.Saraswatharishta - Again it's a medicine with various indications and contra-indications and shouldn't be taken without doctor's advice.
3. Brahmi Ghritam- Firstly ghrita preperations are highly potent medicines ( 4/n)
and secondly just because something has brahmi in it, it doesn't actually mean its meant only for memory.Brahmi Ghritam its used for management of variety of issues like apasmaara, unmaada etc., which again are not to be taken without doctor's guidance. (5/n)
4. Jyotishmati nasyam at night. Firstly, nasyam is not to be done at night. Secondly, jyotishmati is again a very potent her. It is ati-ushna and teekshna and excessive usage can be very harmful. (6/n)
In his video he has given other techniques which could be helpful in enhancing concentration and memory.
He assures that people will improve within 10 days if they follow his routine exactly. Not even ayurveda doctors give such assurity. (7/n)
It's a sincere request to people making such videos and people following such advices, ayurveda medicines do have side effects if it is used without proper consultation.(8/n)
Professionally Fittuber is not an Ayurveda doctor, he has done his graduation in engineering. So he dispensing ayurveda medicines is plain wrong. Talking about diet for different disorders is a another thing. But medicines are not equal to diet. (9/n)
You cannot consume medicines like a diet and expect diseases to cure themselves, thinking Ayurvedic is "natural", has no side effects. Ayurveda is a medical science, just like Allopathy. (10/n)
And any Tom, Dick and Harry dispensing ayurveda medicines is exactly the reason why people consider ayurveda as hokum and pseudoscience.

I got 48 ppl voting and i am sry to inform that 100% of them got it wrong.
#AMLA( Emblica officinalis) contains no VITAMIN C ( Ascorbic Acid).
The correct answer is TANNINS. #Ayurveda #Immunity #health #Amla
At one time Amla was considered a rich source of Vit.C. Earlier studies which identified presence of Ascorbic acid, were done by bioassay of extracts. But if you want to see Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) in PC or TLC chromatograms you will be disappointed.
It was Ghosal and co-workers in 1996, discovered that the Vit.C like action of Amla is due to two gallotannins, Emblicanin A and –B, which have the core sugar acid structure similar to that of ascorbic acid & there is no free or conjugated ascorbic acid in fruits of AMLA.

Ever wondered why there are cases where apparantly young individuals are succumbing to COVID-19 whereas older people are recovering very well? Here we need to understand that immunity boosting and immune suppression is not actually recommended for any treatment. #Ayurveda (1/n)
The only thing that helps in disease reversal is optimum and accurate immune response.
No amount of immune boosting is going to protect you from diseases if the body does not have proper metabolism. Your body system is designed to overcome all the major diseases by itself. (2/n)
All we have to do is to provide a favourable environment to the body so that it can counter the pathogen.
How can you determine whether you have proper metabolism? Here we need to look into the definition of health given by #Ayurveda (3/n)

Case of Dengue recovered completely with only Ayurveda, patient complains fever, cough, loss of appetite, rashes on skin, platelets dropping, and dengue postive in just 3days
Thread(1/n)
Patient recovered in 3days with platelets coming back to normal, no fever, no body ache, dengue found negative. With just one medicine in pinches and medicated water used. #SBEBA (2/n)
#Ayurveda can treat viral infections very successfully, and we don't have to wait fr an anti-viral drug or vaccine.
Total cost of treatment was less than 35rs.
PS: no illogical papaya leaf juice was given to the patient for platelets.

Did you know fever is a healthy immune response and temperature upto 104°c is fine. Fevers turn on the body's immune system. They help the body fight infection. Normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for you. (1/n) #Fever #Myths thread
MYTH. Oral temperatures between 98.7° and 100° F (37.1° to 37.8° C) are low-grade fevers.
FACT. These temperatures are normal. The body's normal temperature changes throughout the day. It peaks in the late afternoon and evening. A true low-grade fever is 100° F to 102° F
Fevers with infections don't cause brain damage. Only temperatures above 108° F (42° C) can cause brain damage. It's very rare for the body temperature to climb this high. It only happens if the air temp is very high. An example is a child left in a closed car during hot weather.
