मेरी डायरी से – रोडोडेंड्रॉन ( Rhododendron)

उत्तराखंड के कुमांयु मण्डल की मेरी सपरिवार यह दूसरी यात्रा थी । पिछ्ली बार नैनीताल, मुक्तेशवर , भवाली को कवर किया था और  इस बार  कौसानी लक्ष्य था । नैनीताल से कौसानी जाते समय कुछ पल रानीखेत मे बिताये । पिछ्ली बार भवाली की मार्केट मे चेस्टनेट  को देखकर उसके होम्योपैथिक और बैचफ़्लावर दवाओं मे प्रयोगों का स्मरण आ गया था ( देखें यहाँ) और इसबार  रानीखेत मे रोडोन्डून ( बुरांश ) का स्थानीय उपयोगों और उसके होम्योपैथिक प्रयोगों को देखकर यह पोस्ट लिखने का विचार आया ।

रानीखेत में अगर आप चौबटिया गार्डेन घूमने  जा रहे हो तो यहाँ पहाडी फ़ूल बुरांश का शरबत अवशय खरीदें और पीयें । यह स्वादिष्ट खट्टा मीठा स्वाद वाला शरबत है और यह हृदय रोगियों के लिए बेहद लाभकारी माना जाता है। चौबटिया गार्डेन में सेब का बगीचा है जिसे सरकार चलाती है । यहाँ फ़ैले जंगलो में  सेब , अलूचे, और आडु जैसे फ़लों की खेती की जाती है ।

रोडोडेंड्रॉन की कई प्रजातियाँ बागवानी और औषधि के रुप में प्रयोग की जाती हैं । हिमालयी क्षेत्रों में 1500 से 3600 मीटर की ऊंचाई पर पाया जाने वाला बुरांस मध्यम ऊंचाई पर पाया जाने वाला सदाबहार वृक्ष है। बुरांस के पेड़ों पर मार्च-अप्रैल माह में लाल सूर्ख रंग के फूल खिलते हैं। बुरांस के फूलों का इस्तेमाल दवाइयों में किया जाता है, वहीं पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में पेयजल स्त्रोतों को यथावत रखने में बुरांस महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। बुरांस या बुरुंश (रोडोडेंड्रॉन / Rhododendron ) सुन्दर फूलों वाला एक वृक्ष है। बुरांस का पेड़ जहां उत्तराखंड का राज्य वृक्ष है, वहीं नेपाल में बुरांस के फूल को राष्ट्रीय फूल घोषित किया गया है। गर्मियों के दिनों में ऊंची पहाडिय़ों पर खिलने वाले बुरांस के सूर्ख फूलों से पहाडिय़ां भर जाती हैं।

रोडोडेंड्राँन (Rhododendron), झाड़ी अथवा वृक्ष की ऊँचाईवाला पौधा है, जो एरिकेसिई कुल (Ericaceae) में रखा जाता है। इसकी लगभग 300 जातियाँ उत्तरी गोलार्ध की ठंडी जगहों में पाई जाती हैं। अपने वृक्ष की सुंदरता और सुंदर गुच्छेदार फूलों के कारण यह यूरोप की वाटिकाओं में बहुधा लगाया जाता है। भारत में रोडोडेंड्रॉन की कई जातियाँ पूर्वी हिमालय पर बहुतायत से उगती हैं। रोडोडेंड्रॉन आरबोरियम (Rhododendron arboreum ) अपने सुंदर चमकदार गाढ़े लाल रंग के फूलों के लिए विख्यात है। पश्चिम हिमालय पर कुल चार जातियाँ इधर उधर बिखरी हुई, काफी ऊँचाई पर पाई जाती हैं। दक्षिण भारत में केवल एक जाति रोडोडेंड्रॉन निलगिरिकम (R. nilagiricum) नीलगिरि पर्वतपर पाई जाती है। इस वृक्ष की सुंदरता के कारण इसकी करीब 1,000 उद्यान नस्लें (horticultural forms) निकाली गई हैं।

सामान्यत: प्रयोग होने वाली रोडोन्ड्रोन की प्रजातियाँ हैं :

रोडोडेंड्रॉन का आयुर्वेदिक पद्द्ति मे उपयोग :

प्राचीन काल से ही बुरांश को आयुर्वेद में महत्वपूर्ण स्थान दिया गया है। रोडोडेन्ड्रोन प्रजाति के इस पेड़ में सीजनल बुरांश के लाल, सफेद, नीले फूल लगते हैं। लाल फूल औषधि गुणों से भरपूर हैं। खास कर हृदय रोग से पीड़ित लोग के लिये यह वरदान है । जबकि शारीरिक विकास व खूनी की कमी में बुरांश का जूस व इससे तैयार उत्पाद अचूक औषधि का काम करती है। खांसी, बुखार जैसी बीमारियों में भी बुरांश का जूस दवा का काम करता है

रोडोडेंड्रॉन का  होम्योपैथिक मैटेरिया मेडिका मे प्रयोग :

होम्योपैथिक उपयोग के लिये रोडोन्ड्रोन फ़ेरूजीनीम (Rhododendron ferrugineum )  से बनाई जाती है । यह अधिकाशंतया साइबेरिया के पर्वत शिखरों पर उगती है ।  इस वनस्पति की शुष्क पत्तियों से इसका मूल अर्क तैयार किया जाता है ।

यह औषधि आमवाती ( rheumatic ) तथा गठियाबाती रोगों ( osteoarthritis )  रोगों मे व्यापक प्रयोग की जाती है ।रोडोडेंड्रॉनके लिये सार्वाधिक चारित्रिक संकेत गरज वाले तूफ़ान से पूर्व इसकी वृद्धि से है । यह वृद्धि नम मौसम से उतनी अधिक नही होती जितनी वातावरण मे विद्धुतीय परिवर्तनों के कारण । migratory rhematic सूजन में और अधिकतर लघु ( small joints ) को अधिक प्रभावित करती है । arthritic nodes पर इसका व्यापक असर है । विश्राम के दौरान वृद्धि और गति मे सुधार इसकी मुख्य modalities है ।

रोडोडेंड्रॉन बहुत अधिक स्मृति ह्वास से चारित्रिक है । वह लिखते हुये शब्दों को छोड देता है । हम इसको विचारों का लुप्त होना भी पाते  हैं । यह बोलने की क्रिया मे अचानक रुकावट से स्पष्ट होता है , रोगी प्राय: अचानक वार्तालाप बन्द कर देता है ताकि वह अपनई विचारधारा को स्मरण करने मे समर्थ हो सके ।

रोडोडेंड्रॉन  Tinnitus Aurum ( कानोंमे आवाज के साथ चक्कर ) मे भी यह प्रयोग की जाती है । बिस्तर पर लेटनेसे अचानक सिर मे चक्कर शुरु हो जाता है ।

रोडोन्ड्रोन का अन्य  मुख्य उपयोग अंडकोष ( Orchitis )  की नई और पुरानी सूजन के लिये भी है । मुख्यत यह बाये अडंकोष को प्रभावित करती है । अडंकोष लगता है कि जैसे खिचे हुये हों , ग्रंथि मे ऐसी अनूभूति होती है जैसे कुचल दी गई हो । Hydrocoele की आरंभिक स्थति में इसका प्रयोग सार्थक है ।

रोडोडेंड्रॉन आरबोरियम (Rhododendron arboreum )  का होम्योपैथिक परीक्षण नही किया गया है । लेकिन इसके तमाम गुणॊं को देखते हुये इसकी भी प्रूविगं CCRH को करवानी चाहिये ।

लेकिन अगली बार अगर आपका प्रोग्राम रानीखेत का बने तो रोडोडेंड्रॉन आरबोरियम (Rhododendron arboreum )  या बुरांश के शरबत का स्वाद लेना न भूलें

होम्योपैथी दवाओं के लिए नोएडा में पौधों का संरक्षण

होम्योपैथी पद्दति में  करीब 1400 प्रकार की दवाएं पौधों से बनती हैं। इनमें 50 से ज्यादा पौधे ऐसे हैं, जिनका इस्तेमाल सिर से लेकर पैर तक के रोगों की कारगर दवा बनाने के लिए किया जाता है। ऐसे ही चार दर्जन से अधिक पौधों का सेक्टर-24 स्थित केंद्रीय होम्योपैथी अनुसंधान केंद्र संरक्षण कर रहा है। इसके लिए अनुसंधान केंद्र में ग्रीन हाउस बनाने की भी तैयारी है। इस केंद्र में नई दवाओं को इजाद करने के लिए कई शोध भी किए जा रहे हैं।
अनुसंधान केंद्र के वनस्पति वैज्ञानिक अरुण कुमार तिवारी ने बताया कि हर छोटे और बड़े औषधीय पौधे की अपनी खासियत होती है। यह पौधे गंभीर बीमारियों के इलाज की क्षमता रखते हैं। यही वजह है कि यहां पौधों से दवाएं बनाने के अलावा उनकी अन्य गुणवत्ताओं की खोजों पर भी काम किया जाता है। समय-समय पर किए जाने वाले शोधों से बेहतरीन दवा इजाद की जाती है। एक दवा को बनाने के लिए एक ही प्रजाति के तीन से चार पौधों का रस निकाला जाता है। जिस पौधे से ज्यादा रस निकालता है, उसी से ज्यादा कारगर दवा बनती है। रस को सुखाया जाता है और एल्कोहल मिलाकर दवा बनाई जाती है। अरुण कुमार ने बताया कि अनुसंधान केंद्र की छत पर एक छोटा सा ग्रीन हाउस बनाया जाएगा, जिसमें पौधे और भी सुरक्षित रहेंगे।

Raman Laser Spectroscopy
In 1976, Boiron and Vinh used Raman Laser Spectroscopy, showing that for the 1C potency of Kali bichromicum the spectrum of alcohol disap-pears completely, while that for potassium bichromate appears. In Kali bich 1C the ratio of the number of potassium bichromate molecules is 1 to 500. In such a case the light meets 500 more alcohol molecules as those of bichromate, yet the alcohol spectrum does not appear.

Conclusion
Research claims to have confirmed the efficacy of homeopathic medicine. Additional support comes from the fact that animals, plants and infants also benefit form homeopathic treatment and it is unlikely that they will react psychologically to a medicine they often do not know they are being given

Homeopathic Silica – The Gardener’s Friend

Courtesy :  www.Homeopathyplus.com  & www. Homeopathyheals.me.uk

Which homeopathic remedy has the power to:

• Strengthen weak and spindly plants
• Turn deserts into fertile fields,
• Kill weeds
• Convert water repelling soils into moisture loving ones
• and more?

Silicea!

No other remedy does so much, at so little cost, for so many plant and soil problems. Silica, known within homeopathy by its Latin name of Silicea, should have pride of place in everyone’s garden shed because once tried, no farmer or gardener wants to be without it. Let’s find out why.

How it Began.

Homoeopathic silica has long been used for human and animal health problems but knowledge of its ability to treat plant and soil sickness is relatively new. In people (and animals) it is used for: lack of confidence, dry skin, weakness, fatigue, delayed development, slow healing of wounds, infections and abscesses, and failure to thrive. When homoeopaths realised these symptoms seemed to also occur closer to the ground in plant form, they began to wonder if Silicea could have a wider use. It was not long before its important role in horticultural and agricultural problems when used for Silicea-like symtoms was discovered.

Silicea for Strong and Healthy Plants.

Without the presence of naturally occurring silica in the soil, plants would be unable to stand upright or even grow. It acts on every cell and tissue, giving strength and ‘grit’. It regulates all cellular processes, including reproduction, and brings a healthy resilience to brittle growth. When silica is missing from the soil, or when plants have trouble using it, homoeopathic silica makes a world of difference – puny plants with weak and straggly growth, or those prone to fungal attacks, grow strong and vigorous within days of being sprayed.

Silicea as a Soil Tonic

Silica is difficult to add to soil as either a nutrient or supplement, and in truth it is rarely missing from it – but when it is, a spraying of homoeopathic silica improves plant health, helping them to absorb the little that is there. On top of this, homeopathic silica changes the ionisation of soil particles so they are capable of absorbing  and retaining moisture (more on this later).

Silicea Prevents Transplant and Other Shocks

Plants that are in shock will stop growing, wilt in the sun, drop their leaves, and be at risk of dying. Shock mainly happens with transplantation but also occurs from things such as damage to the root ball or extreme changes in temperature. A single spray of Silicea, before or after transplant, will strengthen the plant, relieve stress and prevent exhaustion.

Silicea Strengthens Plants against Pests and Diseases

Homoeopathic silica helps plants protect themselves against fungi, moulds, mildews, root sliminess, and some forms of rust. It also strengthens plants against pests such as aphids, budworm, citrus mite and dried fruit beetle. But be careful – one spray is all that’s needed.

In his book, Homeopathy for Farm and Garden, Kaviraj recounts one instance of a sapling being affected by dieback. It only had one quarter of its bark left and even that was loose and drying out. Within a day of being given a dose of Silicea the bark was reattaching itself to the cambium (the layer of cells lying between the wood and bark from which new bark and wood cells are produced), and after one week the top branches were growing new shoots and leaves. With dieback being such a problem in many countries of the world, a method of preventing or treating this disease is welcome news indeed.

Silicea Stimulates Seed Germination.

A single dose of Silicea is usually sufficient to help germinate the seeds of perennials and biannuals so they lead healthy lives right from the moment they are sown. Just soak the seeds before planting in some water to which some Silicea has been added. The seeds will subsequently sprout strong roots and firm shoots. They will also be resistant to damping off and less prone to insect attack.

Silicea Produces Beautiful and Prolific Flowers.

One spray of Silicea as flower buds are forming has been shown to increase the size and number of flowers produced.

Silicea Eradicates Weeds.

Annual weed problems can be safely cleared once and for all with Silicea. As weeds produce their juvenile flower heads, spray them once then again, 10 days later. The heads will flower prematurely without setting any of the seeds that would normally produce next year’s crop of weeds. Farmers (or home gardeners) can also take advantage of the positive effects Silicea has on seed germination by sowing their own seeds with the final spraying.

Silicea Sets Fruit and Stops Fruit Fall.

If sprayed at the beginning of flowering, Silicea will help trees or plants set their fruit and prevent them from dropping it during early development. Only spray once, though, or the reverse can happen – just like the weeds the tree will fail to produce a harvest.

Silicea Makes Water-repelling Soil Absorbent.

Some soils just hate water. Potting mixes, sandy soils, dusty soils, and soils high in organic matter are the worst in this regard. They absorb water so poorly that it simply rolls off the top of them, leaving the plant dry and thirsty. Silicea changes that. Once watered or sprayed onto the soil, the ionisation of the soil particles changes. As if by magic, they start to attract and bind water, creating highly absorbent and moist soil.

Note: Silicea will not improve absorption when compacted soil is the problem. In this instance you still have to get out your spade and do a bit of digging break up the ground.  

Silicea Greens a Desert.

One of the most exciting things about Silicea is its capacity to green desert-like areas in a remarkably short space of time. One treatment, watered in, produces desert sand capabale of holding large amounts of water for long periods – up to 6 weeks even in the absence of rain. The subsequent addition of mulch and good organic matter will then further improve the soil.

Kaviraj speaks of an early experience during the 1990s when he was in Western Australia. On one farm north of Perth he and a small group of men began a tree planting project. The land was arid and almost completely sand. First, they sprayed the ground with homeopathic silica and then left it to rest for 6 or so weeks. On their return to plant several hundred saplings, they found the soil was so moist that wet sand clung to their spades as they pulled them from the ground. On their next visit, 6 weeks later, they were met by an army of thriving young saplings that were larger, stronger, and more vigorous than could have been expected for the soil in which they were planted  – and all from a single spray of Silicea. To Kaviraj’s knowledge, that once arid piece of land remains green to this day.

While not exactly desert areas, Kaviraj says that similar results can be achieved with bowling greens and similar courses – patches of bare ground and ‘fairy spot ring’ will be rapidly replaced by thick healthy turf if given a dose of Silicea.

He concludes with the following statement, “This greening of the desert can add tremendously to our surface of arable land and thus increase the CO² uptake by another 30 to 40%. It will also help in alleviating world hunger and provide enough food for all the world’s inhabitants – provided of course we divide the benefits equally.”

Caution!

Sometimes there can be too much of a good. Farmers and gardeners who practice agrohomeopathy will be quick to tell you that repeated and unnecessary doses of Silicea can be counter-productive. For example, when a healthy tree is repeatedly sprayed with Silicea, its bark can be crippled – the balance has been tipped too far and the remedy is starting to produce in the tree the very symptoms it can treat. (This phenomenon is explained in tutorials 1, 6, 15, and 16 where the Law of Similars, provings and remedy responses are discussed).

The same is true for fruit and seed setting. If plants are sprayed more than once at the time of flowering, fruit and seed production will be halted rather than helped. While this may be an advantage for weed eradication, it is obviously not desirable for growing fruit.

And finally, while Silicea can also green a desert, it will just as quickly create one if it is over-used. One dose is all that is needed to start the greening process – more will be too much. Remember, homeopathy always works best when only as little as needed is used rather than as much as possible.

How is Silicea Used?

For general garden use, add one pill of Silicea 6C to a spray bottle of 200 ml of water, shake vigorously, and then spray or water onto your plant or soil until wet. Easy! For farm use, proportionally increase the volume of water and number of pills. Remember, unless trying to eradicate weeds, one spraying will be sufficient

To stimulate healthy germination of seeds just dissolve one pill in a bowl of 200 ml of water and soak the seeds for approximately 20 minutes; then plant as normal.

Bringing it all Together.

In short, one single application of homeopathic silica has been shown to have profound effects of long duration on soil productivity and every stage of a plant’s life. It is able to:

• Antidote manganese toxicity in soils
• Change the ionisation of soil particles in water-repelling soils so water is easily absorbed
• Stimulate seed germination of grasses, plants and trees
• Help plants survive and even thrive in low rainfall or desert areas
• Strengthen weak and struggling plants
• Produce trees with hard and dense timber that is more resistant to termite attack
• Prevent and treat dieback
• Increase plant resistance to disease and pests
• Produce larger and more prolific fruits and flowers
• Replace brittle stems and leaves with those that are resilient and supple
• Stimulate healing and recovery from tree cancer, galls, injuries, and ulcerating wounds caused by pruning, storms or mechanical damage.
• Aid recovery from transplant shock and stress

Silicea achieves these remarkable things with plants and soil exactly the same way it does with humans and animals. All that is needed is for Silicea-like symptoms to be present. The remedy then strengthens the underlying health of the troubled plant so it is in a position to effectively deal with its own problems – just as nature intended. The only requirement for success is to check that the plant’s sickness matches those of Silicea symptoms and arises from a general ‘failure to thrive’ state. This is then homeopathy.

So, if you have plants with any of the above problems, and if the cause seems to be a lack of stamina, resilience, or ‘grit’, why not give them a dose of homeopathic silica? The results can be amazing.

डा. पंकज अवधिया जी एक बार फ़िर से चर्चा मे हैं । छ्त्तीसगढ मे कृषि क्षेत्र मे सन २००६ से २००८ के मध्य किये गये होम्योपैथिक औषधियों के सफ़ल प्रयोग आने वाले कल मे एग्रोहोम्योपैथी मे महत्वपूर्ण सिद्द हो सकते हैं ।

To explore the possibilities of using Homoeopathic drugs to develop desired medicinal properties in medicinal trees used in Traditional healing with the help of Traditional Healers on Indian state Chhattisgarh Dr Pankaj Oudhia has conducted number of experiments by using about 40 homeopathic drugs. These experiments were done in different locations from July 2006 to July 2008. The selected drugs were applied on Buchanania lanzan, Tectona grandis, Oroxylum indicum, Diospyros melanoxylon, Mitragyna parviflora, Chloroxylon swietenia, Cleistanthus collinus, Ficus racemosa, Ficus religiosa, Ficus rumphii, Ficus virens, Ficus benghalensis, Azadirachta indica, Ailanthus excelsa, Pterocarpus marsupium, Terminalia arjuna, Terminalia alata, Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula, Gardenia sp., Boswellia serrata, Madhuca indica, Wrightia tinctoria, Semecarpus anacardium, Acacia nilotica etc. After different durations desired plant parts were collected by the Traditional Healers. They tested its medicinal properties through traditional methods and medicinally rich parts were used in Traditional Healing. Such experiments were done for the first time. Many Healers suggested the use of Homoeopathic drugs with Traditional Allelopathic solutions.
