Neem and tumeric is good for RA inflammation

May 15

Woke up at 6.30 am...but not so keen to wake up.
Doze bit till nearly 7 plus am.

Did Bhuta Shuddi followed by Surya Kriya. On the preparatory steps of butterfly, I realised that if I bring my knee higher, can feel the pressure in the groin. Also will need to do it slow..
61 points awareness meditation has been back this whole week. Can now just be aware of most of my points.

Breathing was nice.

Shakti not so great. Getting back to old fast mode of Kapala Bhakti. Truly slow is better. Did manage to slow down in third cycle. I was surprised that some animal noise came out at the end of Kapala Bhakti.
 Took two stops cos right foot hurting. Despite thinking not good. Towards the end I was singing.

Shambavi was good. Towards the end my face scrunch.
In the end singing. And some face scrunching followed by silence.


Because the lymphatic system has no pump, it is necessary for each individual to maintain a regular amount of activity that will serve to move the lymph. While the circulatory system relies on the heart to move the blood 24/7, the lymphatic system relies on body movement, especially walking.
When performed in the clean fresh air of nature, this simple exercise can produce other health benefits as well.

“When you walk at a brisk pace your legs provide a natural pumping action which serves to move the lymph through the lymphatic system. This is significant because the lymphatic system has no pump as the circulatory system has a heart to pump blood. Therefore, we understand that the upper half of the body also requires some assistance.
The best way to perform a power-walk so that it really does serve this function is to move the arms as vigorously as the legs. That’s right, you want to move those arms like an Olympic athlete – back and forth – up and down – side to side – just move ’em. This will function as the upper pump for the lymphatic system.”

Good..will take note to swing arms during my Sunday morning walk.


1. Vitamin D
Boosting your levels of vitamin D has dozens of benefits, and research shows that this sunshine vitamin also reduces the chances of developing the common cold as well as the flu. [2] The vitamin, which is produced by the body in response to sunlight exposure, increases immune cell activity, reduces toxicity, and lowers the inflammatory response.

Didn't know this. Can now take with regularly instead of procrastination on alternate days

3. Turmeric
Turmeric is a yellow and mellow-tasting spice highly prized for its use in Indian cuisine and natural medicine. You can find the root in its whole form at some specialty supermarkets, and the powder can also be found in most spice sections at common grocery stores. It’s rich in antioxidants, one aspect that may aid in improving and protecting immunity. [5] Also, turmeric has been shown to protect defenses from fungal and bacterial compounds. [6] For a cold-fighting tea, place 1/4 tsp. of turmeric powder in eight ounces of hot water. Drink this mixture often throughout the autumn and winter seasons. As a gentle food, turmeric may also help soothe a sore throat. Simply combine 1/2 tsp. turmeric with 1 tbsp. of raw, local honey and consume slowly to coat the throat.

8. Neem
The essential oil of the neem plant is a very strong antimicrobial agent, helpful for destroying a wide range of bacteria. Used for centuries in India as a germicide and pesticide, neem oil can help ease inflammation and decrease the proliferation of infectious bacteria in the body. [16]

Looks like neem and tumeric good for me. Instead of taking it 3 or 4 times a week.
Will now put it upstairs to drink daily before sadhana.


5. Vitamin C
If you have a lingering cold that just won’t go away, or if you experience colds frequently throughout the year, chances are you are not getting enough vitamin C. This important water-soluble nutrient is found in high amounts in green vegetables and citrus fruits and is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system. [11] Freshly-squeezed lemon juice or a green smoothie are two excellent ways to receive vitamin C in your diet. Consuming warm herbal tea with lemon juice during a cold or before one sets in may be helpful for reducing its duration.

Must start to eat this since I don't take raw veg nor much fruits.
One of the thing I want to do is more healthy food life style when I shift to my new space.
