for treatment, complain of -

• Excessive thirst (तृषा);

• Purple fingernails (अरुण वर्ण नख);

• Dry skin and mouth (शुष्क त्वचा व मुख); and

• Seizures (आक्षेप).

In such situations, ask yourself - Is it Dehydration?

Dehydration (रसक्षयः) means deficiency of total body water (रसधातु). It disturbs metabolic processes (धात्वग्नि-क्रिया). It results when water loss exceeds water intake, usually due to exercise (श्रम), disease (रोग), high environmental temperature (उष्ण वातावरण), and diuretics (मूत्रल औषध).

Causes of Dehydration:

• The patient drinks insufficient water (अल्प जल सेवन);

• The patient is losing water through loose motions (अतिसार), Vomiting (छर्दि), Sweating (अतिस्वेद), or Excessive urination (मूत्राधिक्य); and

• Hot environment (उष्ण वातावरण).

Risk of dehydration is more in infants, children, elderly people, players, people working in hot and humid environment, people living at high altitude, and patients suffering from chronic diseases.

HOW TO MANAGE (उपचार कैसे करें)?:

Add some salt and sugar to a glass of water and give the patient to drink. Make sure that the patient drinks enough of this sweet and salty water.

Alternately, 2-4 teaspoons of AMRITOJ POWDER could be added to a glass of water and drunk.

Amritoj Powder is an ayurvedic Oral Rehydration Formula (ORF) containing

• Sharkara (Sugar) - 83.76%

• Svarjikshar (Sodium Bicarbonate) - 8.38%

• Saindhav Lavan (Rock Salt) - 5.24%

• Samudra Lavan (Sea Salt - Sodium chloride) - 2.62%.

After reconstitution with water, Amritoj Powder supplements water, electrolytes (Sodium, Chloride, Potassium), and energy in required quantities and thus helps manage the Dehydration. In addition, it supplements several other minerals and trace minerals present in rock salt, including Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfate.

Going a step farther, it supplies Bicarbonate to jeep the pH of body fluids, alkaline.

HOW TO USE?

Dissolve 2-4 teaspoons (10-20 g) Amritoj Powder in a glass (200 ml) of drinking water and drink frequently in small doses until the patient is fully rehydrated.

PREVENTION OF DEHYDRATION:

Dehydration could be prevented as follows -

1. Drink enough quantity (3 liters) of water (except in kidney failure);

2. In hot weather conditions or during physical activity, it is good to drink salted water (except in high BP);

3. Add some sugar to the salted water for energy (except in diabetes mellitus);

4. Or, add 2-4 teaspoons if AMRITOJ POWDER in a glass of water, and drink.
