Dr.N.K. MANOHARAN

Hello everyone, many joys, happiness and conflicts must have passed in our life by now. These changes have happened not only to us, but many inventions that are going to rewrite the history of the world have been going on for years. The main one is artificial intelligence or AI, which is still in its infancy and is growing day by day, and it is not without some concerns that it will grow and outstrip humans, but we are now going through a modern renaissance process with the help of AI technology. Of course, there is a leap forward in the healthcare sector as well, in today's ever-evolving world, these technological advancements are shaping and revolutionizing various fields. We need to recognize that homeopathy is one area where the power of artificial intelligence (AI) needs to be harnessed more. On this occasion of questioning the authenticity of homeopathy, if we want to be able to demolish it all, we should have the most modern technology in our hands, there should be constant researches required for it but we should realize the fact that even now there is not enough consideration. What justice have we done to that divine soul discovered by Dr. Hahnemann! If he were alive today, no one would be able to question the authenticity of Homeopathy, and it is our personal regret that there has not been another Hahnemann to take up where he left off.

Nelumbo Nucifera (LOTUS)

 

Nelumbo Nucifera (LOTUS)

Rich in beauty, symbolism, and resilience, the lotus plant holds an important place in many cultures around the world. Scientifically known as Nelumbo nucifera, this aquatic plant is often associated with purity, enlightenment and spiritual growth. Lotus plants usually grow in shallow freshwater bodies such as ponds, lakes, and swamps. Characterized by long stems that emerge from submerged rhizomes and large, circular leaves that float on the surface of the water, lotus flowers can rise above the water on tall stems, sometimes reaching several feet in height. The flowers of the lily are perhaps its most striking feature, they can be found in colors ranging from white and pink to yellow and blue, but at least some people doubt that the blue lily is real, and in my research, I have found that there is one. Yes, the blue lily, scientifically known as Nymphaea caerulea, is not an imaginary flower. Generally blue lotus is known as a sacred flower. Although it is found in various parts of Africa and Southeast Asia, including Egypt, Sudan, and Thailand, it is important to note that it has historical and cultural significance in Indian religions and mythology, and is often depicted in art and literature. Throughout history, the lotus has had deep symbolic meaning in various cultures. 

In ancient Egypt, it symbolized rebirth and the passage of the sun through the sky, often depicted in art and architecture. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the lotus has deep spiritual significance, representing purity, enlightenment, and freedom from worldly desires. The image of a lotus flower emerging from muddy water, blossoming unblemished, is considered a symbol of spiritual awakening and personal growth.Beyond its symbolic importance, the lotus plant also has many practical benefits. In traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, various parts of the lotus, including the seeds, rhizomes, and petals, are believed to have medicinal properties. They are used to treat ailments ranging from diarrhoea, fever, skin diseases and insomnia. The lotus plant or Nelumbo nucifera has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for various medicinal purposes. Lotus seeds and rhizomes are believed to have digestive properties. They are often used to treat diarrhoea, improve digestion, and relieve gastrointestinal upset. Tamarind contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and ease symptoms of medical conditions such as joint pain. Likewise, lotus is traditionally used for natural hypnosis and relaxation. Consuming its products or extracts may help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. Lotus seeds are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support heart health. They can help lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and improve overall cardiovascular function. Some studies suggest that lotus extracts may have hepatoprotective effects, meaning they may help protect the liver from damage caused by toxins or oxidative stress. Lotus extracts are used in skin care products for their moisturizing, , and anti-aging properties. They help hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation and improve skin elasticity. Also, lotus seeds are a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, known for their nutritional content and unique flavor. They can be eaten raw, fried or cooked into savory and sweet dishes, giving them a crunchy texture and subtle nutty flavor. Lotus plants play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems, providing habitat and food for a variety of organisms. Their broad leaves provide shade and shelter for fish, frogs and other aquatic life, while their flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. In addition, lotus plants help improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and providing oxygen through photosynthesis.

Due to its cultural importance and aesthetic appeal, lotus cultivation is widespread in many regions around the world. Gardeners and horticulturists cultivate a variety of lilies for ornamental purposes. Despite widespread cultivation, some lotus species are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss, pollution, and overharvesting. Although lotus plants can be propagated from seed, it is preferable to produce new seedlings from rhizomes, which are underground stems that produce new shoots and roots. Rhizomes can be divided, usually in early spring, when the plant is not actively growing, i.e. during the dormant season. Each rhizome division should have at least one growing point or bud. After planting the divided rhizomes in pots filled with mud, water should be given only to the extent that it will submerge. The water level should be raised according to the growth of the plant, similarly when planting in ponds, it is better to plant in a shallow area. Fertilizing lily plants can help promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. For that choose a fertilizer specially formulated for aquatic plants, one with a balanced N-P-K i.e. Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium ratio. Avoid fertilizers high in phosphorus, as they can encourage excessive algae growth in the water. Lilies should be fertilized every 4 or 6 weeks during the growing season, usually from spring to early fall. Today there are many hybrids developed for various purposes including ornamental, culinary and religious uses. Some common varieties of lotus are Nelumbo nucifera, sacred lotus or Indian lotus, Nelumbo lutea, American lotus or yellow lotus, Nelumbo komarovi which is Russian Komarovi lotus, Nelumbo nucifera var All these and hybrid varieties that bloom in many colors are available in nurseries today.
