Menstrual periods - Problems and Solutions

Author: தோழி / Labels: , , ,

I have received so many mails from many ladies asking regarding this issue. Hope this post will be useful to all of them and will answer all their queries. 

Menstrual period is one of the unavoidabe functioning in the women's body. Though it is a sign of attaining maternity, it is mostly a painful and sorrowful experience for ladies. During this period the ladies face a lot of problems both mentally as well as physically is the fact.  

In the olden days, during this period ladies will not be given any work and asked to take rest completely. Though people say that this is a practice against ladies, we need to consider the rest that is given to the body. 

In the fast world today, in the circumstances of busy life for ladies the problem that is prevailing among most of the ladies is the postpone of the periods or the delay in its cycle. The time period of this postpone happens for months also. Along with this some of them may also face the problems pertaining to the over bleeding.

If there is no rest during this periods time, then the postpone of periods occurs and during the time of maternity normal delivery may not occur. The Siththars have told many solutions for these problems.

For those who have the problems related to the postpone of the periods and those who do not get periods, take equal measures of  the bark of maavilangam, garlic, pepper and grind them. Consume it in small amount on every morning for three days to overcome from this problem.

Fry the leaves of  plumbago zeylanica in cow's milk and add areca nut, abrus precatorius  and take a small amount of it and add equal measure of sugar and on eating this for three days then periods occurs.

If the periods continues for a week or for over bleeding, Agathiyar has told a simple solution.

Take the of seed from the inner shell of mango and dry it in the sun, and grind it into fine powder and preserve it. Add teaspoon of this powder to honey and on eat it on morning and evening for three mondays will lead us to avoid the bleeding.

The problems pertaining to the stomach that occurs during the time of the periods and over bleeding, take the adament creeper salt and dissolve it in butter and eating it for three times a day will resolve all these issues. Agathiyar says that this can be consumed thrice a day even during the time of periods.

In the next post I shall share about the information told by Siththars regarding the maternity.

Siththars... Solutions for girls!

Author: தோழி / Labels: , ,

The thought that the Siththars are against to ladies might been removed after reading te post "Vaalai pooja". Anyone can understand from the songs of Siththars that, girls are against to the male soceity who think that women are meant only as a symbol of beauty. 

The Siththars have told remedies to many of the problems that ladies face regarding their body. In further posts I shall make an attempt to bring them forward.

Pimples

All the teenagers would face this issue of pimples definitely. Though there are so many allopathy methods to get rid of pimples, but those methods causes many side effects and are costly too. Mostly people of oily skin face this problem a lot.

We shall see the methods told by the Siththars to get rid of this issue of pimples.

Take the tender neem leaf, turmeric and grind together by adding water to it and apply it on the pimples. Let it dry and wash it with warm water, then the pimple disappears totally.

Take the milk of the euphorbia spurge apply it on the place of the pimples, let it dry and wash it with warm water, then the pimple disappears totally. But it is said that it should be done when nobody sees.

Also sandal can be taken directly from the sandal wood and apply it on the place of the pimples, let it dry and wash it with warm water, then the pimple disappears totally. 

We shall see another issue in the next post.

Siththars and Vaishnavism

Author: தோழி / Labels: , , , ,

In an e-mail that I received, I was asked whether the Siththars have told anything about vaishnavas. Instead of replying to them through mail I thought of sharing the information here, so that it would be useful be useful to everyone.

Though Siththars lived as the essence of Lord Siva, they have told a lot about the Vaishnava gods like Lord Maha Vishnu, Lord Raama. Sivavaakkiyar has told about the greatness of Lord Rama in the following way.

"அந்தி காலம் உச்சி மூன்றும் ஆடுகின்ற தீர்த்தமும்
anthi kaalam uchchi moonrum aadukinra theerththamum
சந்தி தர்ப் பணங்களும் தபங்களும், செபங்களும்
santhi tharp panangalum thabangalum, sebangalum
சிந்தைமேவு ஞானமும் தினம் செபிக்கும் மந்திரம்
sinthaimaevu gnanamum thinam sebikkum manthiram
சிந்தை ராம ராம ராம ராம என்னும் நாமமே
sinthai raama raama raama raama ennum naamamae”

Raama! Raama! If you keep chanting this, it is enough. No poojas, austerities and meditation are needed. Sivavaakkiyar says that by chanting the name of Lord Raama, we can get all the benefits that we get by doing things and also we get the results that could be attained by doing the holy bath in the morning, mid noon and evening.

Also he says the greatness of saying the name of Lord Raama in the following way.

"சதாவிடாமல் ஓதுவார் தமக்குநல்ல மந்திரம்
sathaavidaamal oathuvaar thamakkunalla manthiram
இதாம்இதாம் இராம ராம ராமஎன்னும் நாமமே
ithaamithaam iraama raama raama ennum naamamae"

Agathiyar says about the Vishnu Mohini form in the following way.

"பணியனையன் பாலாழி யமுர்தம் தனை
paniyanaiyan paalaazi yamurtham thanai
நேரப்பா பெண்ணுருவாய் தேவர்க்குப் படைத்தார்
naerappaa pennuruvaai devarkkup padaiththaar
நிகரில்லா ராட்சதர்கள் பெண்ணைப் பார்த்து
nigarillaa raatsatharkal pennaip paarththu
சாரப்பா மயங்கி நின்ற ரசுரர்ககளி லொருவன்
saarappaa mayangi ninra rasurarkakali loruvan" 

"ஓம் நாராயணா என செபிப்போர் நமனையும் வெல்வர்
om narayana ena sebippoar namanaiyum velvar"


Like wise many other Siththars have also told about Thirumaal's greatness and the specialities of his avatars.

"சதாவிடாமல் ஓதுவார் தமக்குநல்ல மந்திரம்
sathaavidaamal oathuvaar thamakkunalla manthiram
இதாம்இதாம் இராம ராம ராமஎன்னும் நாமமே
ithaamithaam iraama raama raama ennum naamamae"

From this it is so obvious that though the Siththars pray to Lord Siva as prominent god they have also sang about the Vaishnava gods.

From now on I am going to write a topic that most of them were asking to write since I started writing about the Siththars.
