How to control kidney and prostrate problems 

Drink water very slowly. One glass of water should be drunk over a period of 5 minutes or more. Take each mouthful of water and swirl in the mouth for more than a minute and then swallow it. This mixes the water well with saliva making it alkaline. Thus this neutralizes the gastric acid. This improves the health.

All the 3 doshas are neutralized leading to overall improvement in health.

A research study in the USA has shown that by drinking water this way, has reduced the frequency of dialysis in patients suffering from kidney problems. The liver is also benefited.

For frequent urination or uncontrolled urination in the aged, take 2 dates (khajur) cut it into small pieces and boil with milk. Drink the milk before sleeping and eat the khajur. This helps controlling the urine. It also help children if they have habit of bed wetting.This same treatment is also beneficial for prostrate problems in men.

Both the remedies suggested are simple to take but will help in maintaining good kidney, liver and prostrate health. Since these are natural remedies no harm will be done.

Needless to say that if one has serious medical complications your Doctor must be consulted before taking any steps.

Dasbodh is a Granth religious text written by the 16^th Century Maharashtrian Saint Ramdas. Ramdas Swami was the Guru of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Maratha Emperor who ruled during the 16^th Century. Ramdas Swami ran away from the marriage pandal when he was 11 years old and he became a sanyasin. In his early days he stayed in Nashik where he did tapa. He then roamed the length and breadth of the country. He then settled at Sajjan Gadh, a fortress given to him by Shivaji Maharaj.

He wrote Dasbodh at Shivthar Ghal. Shivthar Gadh is a cave in the Sahyadri hills near the Fort of Raigadh the capital of the Maratha Empire.

Granth Dasbodh comprises of 20 Dashakas or Chapters. Each Dashak has 10 Samas or sections.

Ramdas Swamy whilst writing Dasbodh has taken reference from the Upanishads, Vedas, Geeta and many more Hindu Religious texts. Dasbodh covers extensively a large number of topics ranging from how a householder should behave to various methods of worship. He has discussed about the three gunas, Rajoguna, Tamoguna and Sttvaguna. He has also described the behaviour of foolish men, wise men, etc.

He has enumerated the benefit that mankind will derive by studying this granth and how it will help all sections of the society such as the householder, the sanyasin and the rulers.

One must not only read Dasbodh regularly for spiritual growth, but one must study it regularly to attain perfect mental and physical health.
