In this day and age of massive exposure to poisonous chemicals and radiation in our everyday lives, hair weakening and eventual loss is a misfortunate reality for many men and women, older and younger.

Are you low in calcium? Are you high in calcium? No calcium level in your body is good if it's not matched to the level of MAGNESIUM in a ratio of one to one; and, in fact, all your calcium supplements can cause disasters in your physiology if not properly balanced. Vaidya Mishra used to call MAGNESIUM "the intelligence of the calcium" and in this enlightening lecture, Dr. Teitelbaum explains all the whys, dos, and don'ts of its management. Headaches, menstrual cramps, stiffness of arteries and ligaments, brittle bones, cataracts, and many symptoms of aging can be prevented, alleviated, and even reversed with proper levels of this vital substance, which is written in Chinese by putting together the signs for mineral and beautiful.

In this live-recorded presentation, Vaidya RK Mishra addresses a fascinating topic, the mind. PART 1 is an introduction covering preliminary concepts.

In this informal talk held as a live session for the few fortunate participants who got a chance to sit at the feet of the master, Vaidya elaborates on the ayurvedic approach to Pain Management. He begins with a description of the fundamental millenia-old texts that form the foundation of his Shaka Vansya Ayurveda lineage: Charak Sanhita, Susrut Samhita, and Vagbhat Ashtang Hridaya. Later, he discusses pain management techniques and recounts experiences of real clinical cases. And by the end of the talk Vaidya explains the creation process of a new pain reliever (at the time still in testing stages), and spills the beans on the ingredients and properties of his flagship formulation: Super Sport Transdermal Cream.

In this special presentation, made as a tribute to Vaidya RK Mishra, her distinguished disciple, formulation tester, and patient consultation partner of 20 years, Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum, of whom Vaidya himself once said "She has the light of the rishis, and before I live this body, I want to teach her everything I know" summarizes Vaidya's inconmensurable contribution to the science of Ayurveda. Vaidya Mishra, was the heir of a millenia-old lineage of ayurvedic healers whose origins are recorded in the Puranas (ancient Sanskrit Vedic texts). They practiced the purest and most elevated form of ayurveda and had the highest understanding of the human physiology; an understanding that went beyond body organs and functions and holistically took into account the connection, communion, and harmonious balance of the physical body as the housing of the soul, put in motion by the flow of Prana and kept in harmony with the natural laws of the universe, as the true means of attaining HEALTH and BLISS.

In this live-recorded session Vaidya RK Mishra discusses the agnea nature of the eye organs, explains the Pitta subdoshas that govern their functioning, teaches the participants how to locate the facial marma points that affect their circulation of Prana and blood irrigation, introduces the recitation of the eye mantra of the Shaka Vansyia Ayurveda, his ancestral ayurvedic lineage, and describes the properties of the main ingredients in his eye-care formulations. This is an episode packed with invaluable information"

Electro-Magnetic Frequencies are generated by all electrical and electronic devices that became part of our modern lifestyle, from cell phones to computers and from TV sets to air conditioners. Their electromagnetic radiations alter the flow of Prana in our physiology producing imbalances that compromise our health. Surprisingly, this contemporary illness, its prevention, and treatment were already addressed in ancient ayurvedic texts such as the Charak Samhita, which is, at least, 3,000 years old. In this episode Dr.Renee Mehrra interviews Dr. Melina Mishra about how to protect ourselves from the toxic effects of EMF.

Many people nowadays have lots of raw vegetables, cold salads and juice their vegetables for various reasons. Some state that the cooking process destroys the enzymes in the food, others say juicing is good because it breaks down the cellulose fibers in the vegetables for better absorption into the cells. Lots of people would rather toss together a quick salad rather than standing over a pot cooking the vegetables. Plus the raw salads look so green and healthy. This video debunks all these myths and shows what the knowledge of Ayurveda has to say about these misconceptions. Ayurveda is based on sound knowledge, cognized from enlightened seers whose knowledge which is passed down to us is known as “siddhantas,” or eternal truths. Learn why the cooking process prevents the formation of ama and shleshma (sticky substances that clog the body’s vast network of physical channels. And that while cooking may destroy some of the enzymes in the food, there is far more absorption into the cells than if the vegetable is raw. Not only that, there are lots of dangerous compounds in raw vegetables which will evaporate out once the vegetable is cooked. And finally, eating raw vegetables and juicing cold vegetable juice will throw your Vata out of balance over time, as raw vegetables contain all the attributes of data, which is cold, dry and light.

Yogurt is an excellent way to replenish your gut with its probiotic cultures. However, it is best to make your own from a good yogurt starter as described in this video. Even the healthier brands of yogurt found in the health food stores are somewhat lacking in their live strains of probiotics. So if you make your own yogurt you can replenish the strains every two months with the yogurt starter powder to insure the highest quality cultures. In addition, the ancient texts of Ayurveda stated that the yogurt needs to have an alkaline taste or else if it is too acidic the acids could kill off some of the friendly bacteria cultures in the yogurt. Yogurt could be very channel-clogging and create ama (heavy undigested food which remains undigested in the gut) if not taken in the correct way. This video describes various ways to take yogurt properly in order to prevent this clogging from occurring. Also explained is why yogurt is better than kefir, and which foods don’t combine well with yogurt. It’s important to have a thorough understanding about yogurt as it is one of the more important foods to help us retain robust health into old age, yet it has to be both prepared correctly and taken as described in the ancient texts or else this important food can just sit in the gut, rotting and fermenting if we aren’t aware of these issues.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra gives an introduction to his Transdermal Marma System™. He explains that Prana is the bio electromagnetic power of nature which runs our own body's electromagnetic power, recharging our organs and systems. Marmas are powerful points on the body that act like switches and supply Prana to all the different areas of the body. When these switches aren't supplying Prana properly, then our organs and systems aren't able to function normally.
