A friend of mine developed severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She immediately consulted a doctor who told her stones have been formed in her kidney and put the fear of life in her adding that she would face health difficulties, if she did not undergo an immediate operation and get the stones removed. You can imagine the rude shock she got. We will get into how my friend handled the situation a little later. But, first let us understand how kidney stones are formed. And what measures should be taken to prevent its formation.
Kidneys are important organs of the body and they perform a crucial, complicated function. Kidneys, shaped as beans, cleanse our blood and eliminates the unwanted particles from the body in the form of urine. A normal human being is born with two kidneys, each 10 cms long, 5 wide and 4 cms in diameter, weighing 150 to 170 grams each. Our kidneys generally become impaired when our body gets dehydrated, meaning when our is bereft of adequate water content. Kidney functioning is impaired also because of substance abuse such as tobacco and alcohol consumption, and drug use, as such habits dehydrate the kidneys. This apart, optimum functioning of our kidneys is hampered if you are a diabetic, and if a person is malnourished.
The first signs of kidney malfunction is announced to modern man by the doctors with the statement that there are stones in our kidneys. What are kidney stones? Simple. These are untreated minerals deposited in our kidneys owing to lack of proper water consumption or hydration activities. To cite an example, if we put sugar and salt in a glass of water, and if this is more than the capacity of the water to dissolve them, you will find these settled in the bottom of the glass. Similarly, the minerals – generally comprising of uric acid and calcium – that our kidneys are not able to treat gets deposited as stone formations, one sticking to the other, initially the size of a grain of sand, and gradually growing bigger and bigger.
Generally, we feel the urge to urinate when 300 to 400 milliliters of water fills up our kidneys. Stones get formed also when we do not pass urine when we get the urge to do so and stifle it over long periods. Functioning of kidneys is impaired also by the many synthetic chemicals which we consume as medications. Formation of stones in the kidney manifests as severe pain in the ribs, slowly radiating downward through to the thighs. Many a times these symptoms are accompanied with fever and vomiting. Only those who experience these excruciating pains will be in the know of its severity. Generally, these symptoms are accompanied by severe fever and vomiting.
But, even while we understand how kidney stones are formed, at this juncture it is appropriate to turn our attention toward do’s and don’ts to protect our kidneys. The soda water and other soft drinks we consume have the potential to impair our kidneys. Phosphoric acid in these drinks drain the calcium in our bones and cause formation of stones in the kidneys. So, if you over indulge in these drinks, this might be the right time to avoid indulging in it any further. On the contrary, you should ensure an intake of at least five to six liters of water each day with equal attention to answering the Nature’s call as and when you develop the urge to urinate. Resisting the urge for far too long is not healthy.
Black beans, flower comb of banana and banana plant stem possess the power to dissolve kidney stones. We advise you make these a part of your diet in the form of juice or as part of your cuisine along with bitter-gourd , even as you increase the intake of lemon juice, tender coconut water and pineapple. Steer clear of tomato, black-grapes, pumpkin, Lilva Bean, Mushroom and Spinach. Those looking for easy but powerful cure for kidney stones, need not look further away from the Tulsi (holy basil) plant in the courtyard. Tulsi with its acetic and other acids in it is one of the most powerful antidotes and cures against kidney stones. Eat eight to ten leaves of Tulsi, chewing them well along with honey every day and your kidney stones will gradually dissolve.

It is but natural that our presentations should have kindled a raging curiosity in you on the authenticity, veracity and efficacy of treatments offered at Ayur Matam. This video is an attempt to answer your queries.
In today’s world Paralysis is a medical condition afflicting one person in every hundred. A person afflicted with paralysis, unable to tend to himself/herself for basic needs, is virtually at a dead-end of life, unable to even speak or walk around all by themselves. The person you see walking towards the camera on your screen thought no different. He had tried all treatments he was told about before reaching Ayur Matam at Mysore. Listen to the transformation he underwent in his own words: “My is Nagaraj. I am a native of Bijapur. I suffered a stroke four years ago. I kept wondering why I had suffered a stroke and continued by routine life while on medications. But, there was no improvement in my condition. Then, I came to know of Ayur Matam. I took an appointment and came along with my uncle for a consultation with Dr. Manu Menon. I explained my medical history and condition to him and after due examination, I underwent 7 days of Marama Chikitsa. After seven days, I felt my body was at ease and I began to twiddle my fingers, and slightly move hands and legs. Following the treatments here, I am now much better, able to move my leg leg and arms.” Ayur Matam has re-kindled hopes of good life in Nagaraj, who is physically now near normal.
Here is another patient, let us hear his story. This youngster works as a manager in the prestigious nationalized bank. Long hours at the bank being seated in the same position saw him developing a stiff back at the spine. Visits to Allopathy doctors were of no avail and they finally recommended surgery. Aghast, he began looking for alternatives and reached Ayur Matam. After marma treatments under the stewardship of Dr. Manu Menon his back pain has vanished and he is fully normal. “I have had this spinal chord problem since the last four to five years. A recent MRI revealed that I have four bulges, at L3, L4 and at C5, C6. I was on medications without much relief when I met Dr.Manu. He advised me to take treatment for 16 days. Earlier Allopathy medications used to generate a lot of heat in my body and treatments helped very little in reducing my pain. But, at Aur Matam, I began feeling the changes with the medications itself, and my problems were reduced.”
If this is the story of the bank manager, the persons you see here is a physical education teacher whose health suddenly went into the tail spin. He came to know of Ayur Matam through the social media and reached the Hospital. Let us hear what followed in his own words:
“My name is Srinivas and I work as a physical education director at Government first grade college Honnavar. An MRI report three to four years ago revealed that I have disc compression. Though I was doing my exercises, I was unable to walk long distances and, my thigh and half muscles began to go stiff. I could feel excruciating pain and could not take part in any games. But, I managed somehow doing certain exercises. When the summer holidays came along, I came to know of Ayur Matam through some U Tube videos which made me very happy. I reached here 15 days ago and underwent an interim treatment. I came again for the long term treatment, and I am very happy that I am getting good treatment. Hats off to Dr.Manu who has created an atmosphere of high energy. Ayur Matam has an excellent faculty of the therapists and doctors. It is a very lovely home atmosphere.”
So friends, you have now seen it for yourself. Marma Chikitsa is a very ancient 5000 year old scientific treatment system of our land, encompassing in its fold cures for many ailments for which there is not treatment in modern medicine. Dr. Manu Menon is on a mission to expand the reach of this ancient medicinal system to more demographics.

Friends, are you always on your cell phone? Can we call you an addict? Is your eyes and hands always hovering on the cell phone? If you yes, it is confirmed. You have invited trouble onto yourself. You will disrupt the balance of your neck and back. But, it is not just the use of cell phones. We have developed many other habits such as watching TV reclining on a sofa, spending hours on end with a tab or a laptop. Software professionals are virtually wrung dry by companies with their work from home lure. And Cervical Spondylosis is onset. Explains Dr.Manu Menon: “Many working professionals today also read newspapers or answer cell phones which travelling in their cars. The constant rocking movement of the neck in a set downward angle results in the disc at the neck slipping and consequently, constricting the nerves. This hampers the circulation of blood to the brain and hence, less oxygen supply, resulting in high blood pressure and other maladies.”
Once this disorganized lifestyle takes hold, a host of maladies led by Cervical Spondylosis start manifesting in you. The lack of proper supply of oxygen to the brain, disc slippages in the neck and nerve compression, causes Spondylosis. Over to Ayur Matam Managing Director and Marma Vaidya Dr. Manu, ” A sudden surge in the blood flow when blood pressure suddenly shoots up or alternatively a dearth of Oxygen supply to the brain causes blocks, triggering a stroke incapacitating many faculties. Hence, we see an ever increasing number of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia. We believe that Marma Chikitsa along with other appropriate supplementary Ayurveda therapies, using Panchakarma procedures, and medicines, can effectively treat such musculo-skeletal or neurological impairments of the neck. We remove the blockage to an impaired nerve by correcting its root compression; slip a truant disc back in place; and ensure smooth flow of Oxygen to the brain. This activates faculties like memory in patients. The treatment differs from individual to individual depending on their body type, which essentially are three as per Ayurveda parameters. The percentage of recovery also varies from patient to patient and depends on the peculiarities of afflictions. For example, a Kapha dominant patient may exhibit severe cold, sneezing or Asthama. The patient would be treated accordingly for these disorders. Similarly, there would be variation in the condition of others and would be treated accordingly. The duration of treatments vary, depending on an individual and his condition, from 9, 14, 17 to 21 days. And, if a patient takes complete rest without straining his or her neck for two to three months after the treatment, we guarantee complete recovery without having to undergo surgery.”
Friends, Please note that we end up with memory loss, and terminal diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson, only because of our unhealthy technology lifestyle. But, in today’s world, you cannot give up on technology either. The solution is simple. Regular service for the human body, like we service our vehicle, electronic devices and other household goods. Human body requires a regular service, once a month or once in two months. This rejuvenation treatment is called Kayakalpa chikitsa, and is given at Marma treatment centres as ‘Sukha-marma’. This treatment will fill you with fervent energy, rejuvenate your immunity systems; and act as a shield protecting your back, neck and your marmas.
So, worry no more. You can use your cell phone or be on your lap top to your heart’s content. Only remember to visit Ayur Matam once a month and undergo a Sukha-Marma to put the discs, nerves and marmas in its place, and invigorate yourself with renewed energy. And remain fit as a fiddle.

Summer and the monsoon seasons bring with it a host of maladies adversely affecting your health. You develop a cold with runny nose or your dust allergy shows up with bouts of unremitting sneezing. How do you get over the runny nose or unremitting sneezing? Ayur Matam Managing Director and Marma Specialist
Dr. Manu Menon demonstrates a marma technique that answers this teary query: “First, dear patrons of Ayur Matam please accept my humble salutations. Now let me demonstrate to you a marma technique that will help control your seemingly uncontrollable sneezing bout or an apparently unstoppable runny nose. While one or two ‘Achoos’ or sniffles are good, but a bout it is not good. Now, take your ring finger – the finger immediately after the little finger. Place it (as seen in the video) below the nose at the meeting point of the upper lip, and press three to five times applying moderate pressure. You will immediately stop sneezing. You should not press it for more than seven times. If your sneezing does not stop in the first attempt, repeat the exercise again after an hour and a half. You sneezing will stop for sure.”
“Now, coming to runny nose. Lift your nostrils up at the two sides using your ring finger and thumb. Keep them pressed till you count 1 to 10. Release….Repeat it again…Release…And repeat again for the third time, counting up to 10. Your runny nose will subside completely. These marma stimulations will release the mucus deposits on your face and give you complete relief.”
