Acid-pepsin Dyspepsia (Acidity)

Gastritis, Peptic Ulcers & Duodenal Ulcers-we call this problem an A- type personality complaint. Increase in the secretion of the acid in the stomach & damage to the mucus wall that prevents this acid from affecting the stomach causes this problem. Faulty diet, inappropriate use of medications & stress are important causes of this problem. The commonest symptom is pain in the abdomen and hunger pains. These pains are ameliorated ,temporarily, by eating.

Acne Vulgaris

These are pimples, as we all know. This is generally caused because of inflammation of blocked pilo sebaceous follicles (blocked oil glands of the skin). Cause – hormonal, leading to over secretion & infection. The skin is greasy & the face has blackheads & often we find skin scaring.

Acutes & Homoeopathy

It's a common myth that Homoeopathic medicines act slowly & can't help much in acute complaints. Homoeopathy acts effectively in many acute complaints giving quick relief. Some common acute complaints

• Viral Fever
• Influenza (Flu)
• Diarrheoa (Acute Gastro-enteritis)
• Dysentery

Allergic Rhinitis & Hay Fever

These are hypersensitive disorders with sudden sneezing, running nose (coryza), nasal congestion, smarting, & watering of eyes due to over reaction to any antigen (pollen, dust mite, flowers, etc)

Asthma

It can be allergic or intrinsic. In most of the cases this problem begins in the childhood & it is allergic. The symptoms are breathlessness, wheezing in the chest and shortness of breath. It can happen suddenly or can be persistent. Emotional stress plays a major role as a trigger factor for an attack.

All complaints of the respiratory tract infection can be associated with very high fever, malaise and drowsiness. The homoeopathic medication prescribed takes care of the infection as well as the fever and other associated complaints.

Backache

One in every four persons suffers from some sort of back complaints or Lumbago as it is known commonly. This is because of several causes like Posture, work stress, injury, infection, mental stress, back aches resulting from other internal pathologies (referred pains). People with back problems go to lengths to reduce their pain resorting to various forms of treatments.

We have many cases of backache where the patients have got rid of their ache completely. Complaints like prolapsed-intervertebral disc and restricted lifestyles due to these kinds of problems have been totally symptom free and leading normal lives.

Bronchitis (Allergic & Infective)

The most common symptom is a dry non-productive, irritating cough with discomfort in the chest followed by difficulty in breathing & wheezing.

Cervical Spondylosis

A problem of the neck region. The most common complaints are that of pain in the nape of the neck, tingling & numbness of the fingers & pain in the shoulders & back. Vertigo & stiffness of the neck are other common symptoms. The main causative factor is reduction in the disc space in-between the vertebrae (bones of the spinal cord in the neck) leading to compression of the nerves. Wrong postures & occupational stress (physical & mental) of modern day life play an important role. Along with medication the patient is required to do regular neck exercises & physiotherapy. Regular exercise & correct postures helps in avoiding this problem.

Common Causes

• Stress & anxiety play a major role in initiating & precipitating migraine.
• Dietary factors like chocolates, cheese, and alcohol may precipitate the attack.
• In women it is precipitated before menses or women taking oral contraceptives.
• More than 50 % of the cases have a genetic predisposition.

Diabetes

It is one of the fastest growing problems in today’s world. It is caused by underproduction of a hormone called Insulin secreted by Pancreas. This hormone plays a vital role in the metabolism of the body. Our modern day life style, food habits, & obesity are known as major precursors of Type 2 diabetes. A diabetic has to maintain a balance between his diet, exercise, & activity. Stress (physical & Mental) plays an important role in increasing of blood sugar levels. Regular check up with your doctor & regular monitoring of Glycosalated Hemoglobin A1c helps us monitor diabetic control. The better the control the less are the chances of complications of diabetes like Nephropathy (Kidney affection), Neuropathy (Nerve affection), Retinopathy (Eye complications) & Cardio vascular complications. Stress plays a role in altering the body’s metabolism & aggravating the problem. Homoeopathy helps here in reducing the stress hormones, maintaining good health, & regulating blood glucose. Along with medications it is vital to adhere to proper diet & regular exercise regime given to you by the doctor. The other type of diabetes Type 1 (Insulin dependant diabetes mellitus) has to be managed exclusively with Insulin injections along with diet & exercise.
