“Say- Yes to Life and – No to Alcohol & Drugs.”
What is Alcoholism : — A few pegs of alcoholic drinks when consumed bring cheers and festivity, but it creates its opposite effect of depression of the mind and consequent hangover next morning. But inspite of this, human beings of all races, and through all ages, have resorted to taking alcoholic drinks to drown their immediate worries and to enjoy the euphoria of being at the top of the world for some time.
But, the liver in our body is not able to metabolise more than about one peg of whisky per hour. Any excess alcohol which is not able to be metabolised by liver enters the blood stream through the lower intestines and thus reaches each and every cell of our body and in the process, each cell of our body gets dehydrated and functionally disturbed, Many cells of our body & neurons of the brain thus die, as a result, but in youth times there is enough replenishment of the new cells. And also a drink or two initially removes the inhibition in sex and makes the sex act intoxicatingly more enjoyable and playful.
Thus, in youth times, an alcoholic drink acts like adding fuel to the fire, but soon this so called fire of whisky starts extinguishing the person and starts impairing the supply of blood and sex hormones to the male sex organ and as Shakespeare has aptly said, “Drink provides the desire, but it takes away the performance.” Almost everyone, who drinks in excess goes through this experience and If not, he is an extra- ordinary person made of much better genetic stuff.
This alcohol which is a slow poison, can be life saver too, particularly in too cold weather when the mercury drops to freezing water temperature and below, because alcohol can provide quick Calories to heat up the shivering body, but alcohol provides only the empty calories without any vitamins or minerals and alcohol in larger quantity damages the liver, irritates the heart and damages the neurons of the brain, by starving them of oxygen, causing memory loss/damage, with prolonged use.
And above all, it gives a dirty look of ‘Hangover’ on our face next morning. And this damage to the body/mind system is cumulative. If a person continues to consume more than 4 pegs of whisky for more than 5 years or so, then, his drinking of alcohol becomes compulsive which we call “Alcoholism”.
And according to W.H.O., Alcoholism is one of the three major killer diseases in the world. It not only breaks up health but also shatters the family life of alcoholic addicts, and it may involve many other persons due to rash senseless driving accidents, by overdrunk persons. This happens all the year round but is particularly evident during festive seasons like Christmas and New Year.
TREATMENT OF ALCOHOLISM USING MANTRIC BREATHING:
As we know by now that mantric breathing helps us to acquire quickly and effectively the pranic energy from the cosmos. This can thus be of help to cure a person both in the acute and chronic stages of alcoholism, as seen below.
When overdrunk and lace to face with stupor stage , I have saved myself by inhaling deeply and rapidly, with inhale Manila “WANT” and exhaled the breath with Manila TO LIVE”.
This Mantra first of all, creates the desire to “LIVE ON” in the lace of Imminent danger. And as Swami Vivekanand has aptly said, “Matter is Mighty but THOUGHT is Almighty”; because God has endowed only human beings with the will power, which is the greatest of all powers; as said above. Thus, Though! is our Being.
Besides, rapid exhaling with the above exhale mantra- TO LIVE*’ detoxifies the intestines of alcohol, as if, we arc flushing out the alcohol through the exhale breath. And inhaling rapidly with the inhale breath mantra “WANT” fills our abdomen with much needed oxygen/ pranic energy to metabolise alcohol rapidly. Besides the sound word W (V) in “WANT” is the seed word for Swadhishantna Chakra in Kundalini Yoga, located about 5 cms below navel. This is almost the seat of breath and also represents water principle and the lower intestines. And it is in the lower intestines where most of the unmetabolised alcohol gets accumulated before being absorbed into the blood stream.
Thus, the inhale mantra “WANT” not only makes the breathing more effective in the intestines, abdomen, brain, supplying at a much faster rate the much needed oxygen to these vital parts affected by alcohol, but this mantric breathing also imparts vibratory sound resonance energy to them, so as to release their respective psychic energy to fight this depraved state of the body/ mind system due to excess of alcohol. And above all, the word WAN yokes us with Infinity- the Super consciousness to draw in as much pranic life energy as possible to fulfill our body/conscious brain to detoxify it.
Another breathing mantra which can be of great help in detoxifying the stomach from alcohol is :-
2. Exhale deeply with half mouth open with = FROON
Inhale deeply with = FRAAN
The word ‘FR’ is the combined seed word for abdomen and lungs system to breathe to their full optimal capacity; It is also useful in the nausea/ vomiting sensation which one feels after drinking.
Since liver is the most affected organ due to taking excess alcohol, we can heal it by giving it the pranic life energy by exhaling with
3. Exhale with = HEAL LIVER — JEENM
Inhale with = LAVARA — J AH AN M
It is really a very very effective and rejuvenating mantra for the liver as well as for the whole body/ mind system affected by over- drinking. And this great mantra helps the alcoholists to get over the habit of alcoholism by developing their WILL Power by giving vibratory sound energy to the Swadhishtana (V) as well as Muladhara Chakra (L). Our will power thus gets strengthened with these words. And it is the will power which the alcoholists lack the most, which is very much augmented by this healing breathing mantra.
Also, the words L & V kindle the divine kundalini energy to illuminate our mind to develop control over alcoholism. The word ‘R’ is the seed word of Navel Chakra which stimulates the much harassed liver, the pancreas and it re-establishes all the abdominal secretions to digest food. The word ‘R’ also strengthens the adrenal glands – the emergency life saving gland which comes to our help when over-drunk.
The word ‘H’ strengthens the thyroid gland and helps to re-establish, the communication link between the body and the brain. The word HAN yokes us with Infinity – the superconsciousness to draw in as much pranic life energy as possible to fulfill our being to detoxify us.
The word ‘M’ strengthen the crown chakra, the right brain and the pineal gland to pacify the nervous system from the stress of alcoholic drinks. It comes to the rescue of over-worked left brain/ pituitary gland due to alcohol.
And a separate breathing mantra is given below to stimulate the left brain and pituitary gland, which is the master gland to boost our Immune system against the damaging effect of alcohol. For this
Inhale with = VARAYAHAN
Exhale with = NIHI — YOUREEV
This mantra stimulates the lower intestines with V, which helps to irrigate the dehydrated cells of our body/brain through blood circulation and the word R strengthen the liver and the abdomen, the word Y rejuvenates the heart, and ‘H’ stimulates the Thyroid gland and most important of all, the word N strengthens the left brain and the pituitary gland and the brow chakra to reestablish the shattered immune system of alcoholics. And this breathing mantra will completely rejuvenate the total body. To support it, I am suggesting the following homoeopathic medicines to help in quicker recovery from the acute effects of alcoholism.
Homoeopathic Treatment
Homoeopathic Medicines are being used increasingly to over-come not only the acute effects of alcoholism, but also its long term chronic effects, besides being of help to decrease the craving of the individual for alcohol, thus helping to get rid of the habit of alcoholism.
The most effective homoeopathic medicines for acute effects of alcoholism are (1) Nux Vomica (2) Glonoinum (C3 H5 (N03) 0,_) Both of these medicines in low potency provide the much needed oxygen for the starved neurons of the brain which are affected the most because of their much higher demands on oxygen. Thus for curing the acute effects of alcoholic drinks like Nausea and stupor- the initial stage of delirium of brain, give.
Nux Vomica 3x every one hour or Glonoinum 3x every one hour After the patient has crossed the acutest stage, then give Nux Vomica-3 four hourly or Glonoinum -3 four hourly. And after two days, give Nux Vomica 6-Six hourly or Glonoinum 6-Six hourly. On the first morning, after the acute stage of alcoholism has subsided by giving Nux Vomica 3x or Glonoinum 3x, give only liquid food to the patient, consisting of the following: (1) A glass of fresh orange juice or sugar cane juice which will help the liver to recuperate by providing fructose directly plus minerals plus vitamins, a greal boon tothe over-worked liver.
(2) And/or Lemon juice in water with a large spoon-ful of honey or Glucose D.
(3) A glass of butter milk made from, churning Yogurt/Curd wilh water and brown sugar and a pinch of common salt.
These liquid foods can be repeated as required till full recovery is achieved alongwith the above medicine, and mantric breathing. The acute symptoms of alcoholism are taken care by Nux Vomica or Glonoinum in low potencies, when the drugs administered are in their milligram quantities to provide First Aid and immediate succour to the deranged/oxygen starved body/ mind system, followed by Nux Vomica 6, otherise the reactive effect of Nux Vomica 3x will start appearing. It is here where homoeopathy scores a greatly marked advantage over its allopathic system of medicine because in homoeopathic treatment, we can administer the more potenciazed but much smaller quantity of the same medicine only in picro-gram quantity of the original homoeopathic medicine, which completes the cure, thus, obviating the bad side effects, as in allopathic drugs, after their long use.
In chronic alcoholism, all the body/brain functions get deranged, body excretory system will also be impaired causing bleeding or blind piles. Simultaneously, all the mental faculties get impaired and even the will power to recover is lost. In this stage the patient should be advised to take homoeopathic tonics like ‘Avena Sativa’ or Alfa Alfa’ Tonic, atleast twice daily to recuperate.
(2) Use of homoeopathic medicine ‘Quercus’ taken 10 drops in water three times a day takes away the abnormal craving for alcohol and it also removes some of the bad effects of chronic alcoholism later followed by Quercus 3x- four hourly.
And also, you can follow it up with Sulpur-3-three times a days. This also helps to control the craving for Alcohol.
Then, follow it up with Sulphur 30 in the morning and Nux Vomica 30 in the evening for one week, to complete the cure on pure homoeopathic principles of treating with the resonance power of the homoeopathic medicine in its 30th potency of “Like cures Like” when the drug has been highly diluted, but has the potential to develop its Sublime power of Cure, in its infinitesimal quantity, which I call the Blessed phenomenon of “Hahnemannization”.
Also, there are many more Homoeopathic medicines for treating alcoholism as given in various Homoeopathic books which I will not delve into for want of space.
And with this combined treatment -Homoeopathic as well as healing affected by the Mantric breathing, particularly by the last mantra which heals the liver in a slow and steady manner and also helps to develop the will – power, will go a long way to get over this dreaded habit of Alcoholism, provided the person desires to do so.
