What is the history and chronological evaluation of rasa shastra?
Rasa Shastra, a branch of Ayurvedic medicine, focuses on the use of minerals and metals for therapeutic purposes. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Indian texts, with the earliest references found in the "Rasaratna Samuchaya" and "Rasa Siddhanta," dating back to around the 8th to 12th century CE. Over the centuries, Rasa Shastra evolved through the contributions of various scholars, incorporating alchemical processes and refining techniques. By the medieval period, it gained prominence for its methods in preparing herbal and metallic formulations, significantly impacting traditional medicine practices in India.
How do you prepare panchakavyam?
In Sanskrit, Panchagavya means the blend of five products obtained from cow. (All these five products are individually called 'Gavya' and collectively termed as 'Panchagavya') It contains ghee, milk, curd, cow dung and cow's urine. Panchagavya had reverence in the scripts of Vedas (devine scripts of Indian wisdom) and Vrkshyurveda (Vrksha means plants and ayurveda means health system). The texts on Vrkshayurveda are systematizations of the practices the farmers followed at field level, placed in a theoretical framework and it defined certain plant growth stimulants; among them Panchagavya was an important one that enhanced the biological efficiency of crop plants and the quality of fruits and vegetables (Natarajan, 2002).
For making approx. 20 litres of panchagavya you need the following:
* Fresh cow dung - 5kg
* Fresh cow's urine - 3 litres
* Cow's milk - 2 litres
* Cow's curd - 2 litres
* Cow's ghee - 500 gms
* Jaggery - 500 gms
* Water or sugarcane juice - 3 litres
* Ripe banana fruit - 1 bunch (12 nos.)
* Tender coconut water - 3 litres
* toddy - 2 litres
(If toddy is not available, you can ferment 3 litres of tender coconut water by keeping it in a pot for 1 week. That will become toddy. )
Method of preparation:
* Take 5 kgs of fresh cow dung and mix it thoroughly with 500 gms of cow's ghee and keep it in a plastic drum or a mud pot. It should not be kept in a metal container because it will corrode and react with the metal. Keep the ghee and the cow dung mixture for 4 days, mixing it twice a day.
* On the 5th day add cow's urine, cow's milk (cow's milk can be boiled, cooled and then added) and cow's curd, then jaggery with water or sugarcane juice and banana fruit (which has to be mashed and mixed thoroughly.) Then tender coconut water has to be added.
* Wait for another 15 days, stirring twice daily. Stirring the contents for about 20 minutes each time facilitates aerobic microbial activity.
* On the 19th day the panchagavya solution will be ready. This solution must be kept under a net, i.e. it must be covered with a muslin or fine cloth so that the common fly cannot sit on it and lay eggs. For use after 19th day, stir the mixture at least once a day to aerate it.
Application
200ml of this solution can be diluted with 10 litres of water with proper stirring for spraying on plants. For soil application, dilute 1000ml in 10litres of water.
Periodicity of use
Once in 15 days, it can be used for all crops. In winter crops, 1.5-2% usage is sufficient but for all other crops 3% should be used.

Which are subdosha in ayurveda?
Together they regulate every physiological and psychological characteristic from basic cellular processes to the most complex biological functions.
When these forces are in a state of natural balance the defence mechanism of the body works at peak efficiency. But when this balance is disturbed due to an incompatible diet, lifestyle, lack or excess of exercise or mental stress, then the body's immunity can be affected. This encourages the growth of bacteria and viruses which will cause sickness and disease.

What is the medicine for permanent hair removal in alternative medicine?
I heard that Datura plant commonly known as Indian Thorn Apple works as a permanent hair remover even on scalp. One of the Indian widows wanted to avoid a barber who visits every month to shave her head (It is a custom in India to shave head for widows). She brings a bunch of Datura fruits, smashes and apply its juice to her head to get her hairs removed permanently on scalp. This I have tried once on my leg (test area) which works. The name of the particular species is not known to me.
How do you make the eye whites whiter?
It is not suitable for use whilst wearing contact lenses and can only be used very occasionally (going to a party or disguising a hangover for example)
You can buy these drops off-the-shelf from most pharmacies but I would advise that you talk to your optometrist first, just to be sure.
Answer
There is a technique some models use - other than having a few big nights sleep. Elle MacPherson always had 3 nights of 12 hour sleep+ prior to a major photo shoot. If your are not Elle, you put a single drop (very important) of lemon juice into an eye bath, place over eye, blink a few times. Gently pat dry around your eye - in five minutes presto! Needless to say eyes are a fragile organ so every day application is not recommended.
I also find Bilberry tablets from your health food store work BUT you need to take them regularly and they take 4 weeks to show a positive difference. The claim is that the active ingredient promotes better blood circulation in the eye. There are plenty of web references on this.
AnswerNot smoking!..not using eye drop to often..not to much eye-liner..or mascara but it can be worn..thats just ways that they can stay white etc. but I'm not saying that your eyes WILL get whiter if you do the following..but theres no harm in trying AnswerIf you are using contact lenses, then not wearing them makes it whiter. On the other hand, you will not see squat. In addition....You can do it with make up too! First off, if you line the water line with eyeliner, this can block the eye from producing oil and make the eye red. Stopping this will help a lot (trust me!)
Another trick is using blue and/or white eyeliner, versus plain old black. Either will make the eye much whiter.
