Warts – cause, Symptoms, and Homeopathic Treatment

Warts are non-cancerous (benign) skin growths that develop in different parts of the body and come in various forms. They are caused by human papillomaviruses.

 There are more than 100 different strains of HPV. Each strain of HPV is responsible for infecting specific body areas

How are warts formed on the skin?

  • A person is infected with Human papillomaviruses, the virus then stimulates the outer layer of skin to grow faster. Ther by leading to the formation of the wart.
  •  The infected person  may effortlessly spread to someone else through direct skin-to-skin contact while shaking hands or sharing items like a towel

What are the types of warts?

Common Wart
Plantar wart
Flat Wart

There are five major types of warts. Each type appears on a different part of the body and has a distinct appearance.

  • Common warts:-Common warts usually grow on your fingers and toes but can appear elsewhere. They have a rough, grainy appearance and a rounded top.
  • Plantar warts:- Plantar warts grow on the soles of the feet. Plantar warts can make walking uncomfortable.
  • Flat warts:- Flat warts usually grow on the face, thighs, or arms. Flat warts have a flat top as if they’ve been scraped. 
  • Filiform warts:-Filiform warts grow around your mouth or nose and sometimes on your neck or under your chin. They are small and shaped like a tiny flap or tag of skin. 
  • Periungual warts:-Periungual warts grow under and around the toenails and fingernails. They can be painful and affect nail growth.

Nearly all warts are harmless but once they pop up in places such as the face or hands, most people will do almost anything to get rid of them.

Conventional treatments offer to freeze, burn, inject, shave, electrocute, poison, or dig the poor wart out but with varying degrees of success.

Some can cause scarring while with others, the wart may regrow.

Tips for Healing warts more quickly

  • Treat the wart:- A person having a healthy immune system, a wart will often go away on its own. But can take a long time. In the meantime, the virus that causes warts can spread to other parts of the body, which may lead to more warts.
  • Avoid shaving over a wart.:- When you shave, you create microtears in your skin.. you can spread the virus that causes warts from the wart to any skin that you shave.
  • Avoid sharing personal hygiene things like towels, soap, shaving kits, etc … If someone in your home has a wart, this helps prevent the virus that causes warts from spreading from one person to another.
  • Wash your hands often. Because HPV is so common, this helps to remove the virus from your skin
  • Treat hyperhidrosis:- This is a medical condition that causes people to sweat excessively sweating excessively making the skin damp and soft, this may increase the risk to get cause HPV infection.

Homeopathic Treatment for Molluscum Contagiosum

what’s molluscum contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is an infection caused by a poxvirus known as molluscum contagiosum virus( MCV). The rash has small clear or flesh-colored bumps. The bumps can spread from one part of the body to another or from person to person

what causes molluscum contagiosum

People catch molluscum contagiosum when they get the virus on their skin. This can happen by:

  • Having skin-to-skin contact with someone who has molluscum.
  • Touching an object that someone who has a molluscum touched.
  • Sharing a personal item, such as clothing or a towel, with someone who has molluscum.

Who Gets Molluscum?

Molluscum most often happens in kids. But teens can get it too, especially:

  • athletes who have close contacts, such as wrestlers, or athletes who share equipment, such as gymnasts
  • teens with health problems treated with long-term steroid medicine use
  • Those who live in a warm, humid area and have close contact with others
  • People who are sexually active
  • Anyone who has trouble fighting off infections

Where does molluscum contagiosum appear

Mollusca may occur anywhere on the body including the face, neck, arms, legs, abdomen, and genital area, alone or in groups. The lesions are rarely found on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.

How is molluscum contagiosum diagnosed?

  • Diagnosis is usually made by the characteristic appearance of the lesion, 
  • A doctor can often tell by just looking.

What are the complications of molluscum contagiosum?

some people experience complications, including:

  • impetigo, or a skin infection that develops after scratching the lesions
  • conjunctivitis, an eye infection 
  • disseminated secondary eczema, 
  • widespread molluscum contagiosum that are larger than usual, often on the face (this often develops in people with reduced immunity)
  • sudden scarring with a pitted appearance, either spontaneously or due to lesion removal surgery

Is molluscum contagiosum curable?

Molluscum bumps usually appear 2 to 6 weeks after viral exposure. The condition lasts for several months to a few years, with an average of about 1 year. During this time, some bumps may disappear on their own, and new ones can develop. 

Molluscum contagiosum is a self-limiting condition; which means that it gets cured if untreated. But if you don’t treat molluscum contagiosum, it usually takes 6-12 months for the bumps to clear up. During that time, you could spread the virus to other people. Some treatment measures may shorten the duration and reduce the chances of the spread.

Once the bumps are gone, the molluscum contagiosum virus is totally gone from your body — it won’t come back later. But you can get bumps again if you get another molluscum contagiosum infection in the future

Treatment for ovarian cyst without surgery

Ovarian cyst occurs in young female to older postmenopausal women. In the majority of cases in the young female, it doesn’t show any symptoms and you may be diagnosed by your doctor on routine examination or accidentally on sonography,  for a few of you may experience symptoms like 

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Pain in the abdomen
  • Pain in the pelvis
  • Pain in the lower back
  • Pain in the high
  • Unusual bleeding

What is an ovarian cyst?

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. The ovaries are a pair of small, oval-shaped organs in the lower part of a woman’s belly (abdomen). About once a month, one of the ovaries releases an egg. The ovaries also make the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These play roles in pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and breast growth.

How is an ovarian cyst formed?

Each month, ovaries release an egg, which travels down the fallopian tubes where it can be fertilized by sperm.

Each egg forms inside the ovary in a structure known as a follicle. The follicle contains fluid that protects the egg as it grows, and it bursts when the egg is released.

But sometimes a follicle does not release an egg or does not discharge its fluid and shrinks after the egg is released. If this happens, the follicle can swell and become a cyst.

Types of ovarian cyst

Functional cyst:-  a normal cyst that occurs in a normal menstrual cycle 

  • Follicular cyst:- This cyst happens when an egg isn’t released. It keeps growing inside the ovary
  • Corpus luteum cyst:- This type of cyst occurs when the sac around the egg doesn’t dissolve after the egg is released.

Pathological cyst:-

  • Endometrial cyst:-This cyst is filled with old blood and tissue that resembles the lining of the uterus. They are often called chocolate cysts because of the dark color of the fluid within them. They can happen in women with endometriosis. 
  • Multiple cysts – Pcos
  • Dermoid cyst:- This cyst develops from ovarian cells and eggs. They may have hair, skin, teeth, bone, or fat in them. These cysts are common in women of childbearing age.
  • Ovarian cancer cystadenoma:- this cyst is commonly noted in post-menopausal women.

How ovarian cyst is diagnosed?

  • Physical examination by a doctor 
  • Ultrasonography of abdomen
  • CT scan
  • Blood check:-These check for hormone problems and cancer. They also check if the cyst is bleeding.

How ovarian cyst is treated?

Treatment is mainly dependent on 

  • Patient age
  • Fertility status
  • Symptoms
  • Site and involvement of cyst
  • General health

Most women with a functional cyst may not require any treatment but will require follow-up monthly to access the growth and symptoms, mostly it resolves on its own in a few months.

In the case of a pathological cyst, we need to access the cause of the pathology, And treatment is planned accordingly, according to our experience majority of cases have hormonal imbalance as the root cause of the cyst especially the estrogen and progesterone, Homeopathic medicine is known to address the root cause of the hormonal imbalance. In the majority of cases, even surgery can be avoided.

If homeopathic consultation is chosen appropriately a due risk of hysterectomy, HRT, and infertility complications can be avoided. The discomfort of pain, irregular, heavy, scanty, or intermittent menstrual cycle are treated considering the holistic health

We have developed female reproductive protocols for many health conditions related to gynecological disorders.

Conventional medicine aims at surgically removing the cyst. we don’t believe this is the right approach. In our treatment protocol, we understand the patient’s past medical history of menstrual irregularities, hormonal replacement therapy, and any comorbidity condition like hypothyroid, obesity, etc are taken into consideration when deciding the treatment strategy.

 Duration of treatment

It takes almost a period of between eight to ten months as we are using oral medication which is designed to provide permanent correction in the system.

Unlike in conventional medicine where the physical cyst is treated surgically.

Every month due follow-up is ascertained in terms of the pain, changes in cycle, lab test, and repeating sonography at regular intervals to compare the size of the cyst.

Our treatment goal is to restore your hormonal imbalance, which we believe has been a causative factor in the formation of ovarian cysts. In doing so we help you in your pain and irregular cycle. All of this is done without any hormonal replacement therapy. 

Shrink Your Prostate Enlargement (BPH),(BEPH)

The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and is located between the penis and the bladder and just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, and then allows urine to flow out of the body.

The prostate gland helps produce seminal fluid and is part of the biologically male reproductive system. Its incidence is age-related: it is estimated that nearly 50% of men at the age of 60 and almost 90% by the ninth decade develop histological BPH. It starts off the size of a walnut, growing gradually throughout a man’s life to the size of a golf ball, and then the size of a lemon or apricot.

 What are the Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate 
  • Frequent urge to urinate.
  • Need to get up many times during the night to urinate.
  • Blood in urine or semen.
  • Pain or burning urination.
  • Painful ejaculation.
  • Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, pelvic or rectal area, or upper thighs.
  • Dribbling of urine.
What does the prostate do?

A functioning prostate is not required to live, but it is essential for fertility.

1. It helps in semen production:- The primary function is the provision of prostatic fluid to the semen. At least 20–30 percent of the semen volume is contributed by the prostate. In addition, 5 percent of the semen volume comes from the testicles, while 50–65 percent comes from the seminal vesicles.

2. The prostate closes the urethra during ejaculation:-When ejaculating, the prostate contracts and releases prostatic fluid into the urethra. The prostatic fluid mixes with sperm fluid and cells. The fluid comes from the seminal vesicles into the urethra, where it mixes with sperm cells to form semen. The body then expels this semen.

3. Hormone metabolism:- The prostate needs androgens. Androgens are male sex hormones, like testosterone. Without this, the prostate cannot function correctly. There’s an enzyme in the prostate called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, the biologically active form of testosterone.

Dihydrotestosterone is involved in the normal development and functioning of the prostate. In addition, dihydrotestosterone is essential for developing facial hair and other secondary sexual characteristics in the developing male.

What are the reasons for prostate enlargement?

The cause of enlargement of the prostate is very controversial in research, but I would like to highlight a few things commonly observed in a long study.

  1. Hyperinsulinemia has been suggested to be causally related to the development of BPH.
  2. Insulin Resistance:-Insulin-resistance syndrome includes a group of disorders, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, sympathetic overactivity, and hyperinsulinemia, and each is individually reported as a risk factor for the development of BPH 
  3. Insulin-like Growth Factor:- this is known to act as a growth factor 
  4. Increase in obesity-related estrogen levels:-  hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen 
How is prostate Enlargement diagnosed?

Early diagnosis of BPH is important because if left untreated it can lead to urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones, and incontinence. Distinguishing BPH from more serious diseases like prostate cancer is important.

  • Trans abdomen sonography
  • Uroflowmeter
  • PSA
  • Rectal examination or Cystoscopy
Enlarged Prostate  natural treatment

Natural treatment can include specific actions or lifestyle changes that you can make to help relieve your symptoms of BPH. These include:

  • urinating as soon as you feel the urge
  • going to the bathroom to urinate, even when you don’t feel the urge
  • avoiding alcohol and caffeine, especially in the hours after dinner
  • reducing your stress level, as nervousness can increase the frequency of urination
  • exercising regularly, as a lack of exercise can aggravate your symptoms
  • learning and practicing Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic muscles
Commonly Medicine suggested 
  • alpha-1 blockers:- medications that relax the muscles of the bladder and prostate. 
  • hormone reduction medications:-  reduce the levels of hormones produced by the prostate gland
Surgery for BPH
  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
  • Simple prostatectomy. 
Complications of BPH
  • urinary tract infections
  • urinary stones
  • kidney damage
  • bleeding in the urinary tract
  • a sudden inability to urinate
Our Protocol for Enlarged prostate 

The above medicine suggested addressing symptomatically but doesn’t address the root cause of Hyper insulin or Hormonal imbalance.

So how can we approach health in a way that addresses our body as a whole rather than in pieces? Many people can’t see the forest for the trees. In other words, instead of looking at one piece of the puzzle, we have to see the whole picture. Our health is interconnected. 

We have designed the BPH protocol wherein a detailed evaluation of your case is done in understanding the basic metabolic error and your insulin resistance which have led to an enlarged prostate.

After understanding for case, we make a customized treatment to address your root cause to help in the complete healing of not only the enlarged prostate but correction of its cause so that in the future more complications can be avoided with the help of homeopathic medicine and lifestyle modification. The sooner we can catch BPH, the earlier we can implement better holistic care.

Steps to solve your migraine

Are You experiencing throbbing head pain?
Your vision becomes distorted?
Do you feel numb and weak?
Do You feel nauseous?
Does your headache last for several hours or days?
Does your headache pain worsen due to bright lights or loud sounds?.

Migraines are a common problem for millions of people worldwide. Yet without a proper diagnosis, migraines may go untreated. In this scenario, you may experience migraine attacks that make it tough to work, go to school or perform various everyday tasks, with loss of productivity.

A recent study published in The Journal of Headache and Pain highlights migraine pain’s short- and long-term impact. Notable results from the study of 11,266 migraine patients included:

  • 87 percent of survey respondents said migraines impacted their professional, private, and social lives.
  • 85 percent reported experiencing negative consequences associated with living with migraines, including feelings of hopelessness and depression.
  • 83 percent noted they had trouble sleeping due to migraines.

Migraines are problematic, but they are treatable. However, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment to address all migraines, at all times. 10 people with migraine having the same symptoms may have a different cause. So it is important to understand what is causing the head pain.

Migraine Medications in Modern Medicine: What Are They, and Are They Effective?

1. Preventative:- Preventative migraine medications help reduce migraine frequency, duration, intensity, and frequency.

  • Anticonvulsants: 
  • Antidepressants: 
  • Beta-Blockers: 
  • Calcium-Channel Blockers:
  • Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) Inhibitors

2. Abortive:- Abortive migraine medications may be taken during the early stages of a migraine to prevent a migraine attack from getting out of hand. If a person feels physical migraine symptoms that he or she believes may result in a full-blown migraine, this individual can use an abortive medication to address the migraine attack.

3. Rescue:- Rescue migraine medications can be taken at any point during a migraine attack to reduce migraine symptoms. 

There is no guarantee that preventative, abortive, or rescue medications will help a migraine sufferer achieve his or her desired results even with the latest development of botox injection, and in some chronic cases migraine surgery

All though there is various development in modern medical science of various medications, and surgery to assist in pain of the headache. The concern is that the above approaches are there to either avoid the pain, decrease the frequency of pain, or just manage the condition.

It’s basically treated abortive therapy, which is when you get an attack, you treat that attack. For people who get them more frequently, it’s about trying preventive therapies. There’s no way to actually figure it out..  try this, try that, try this, and I can’t tell you how many patients I’ve seen that have been through the whole mill of these medications. It might help a little, but it might not help permanently

Our protocol:-

You may have a certain type of headache with certain types of symptoms like light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, maybe on one side, maybe visual pre-aura symptoms, nausea, and vomiting.

These are just typical things. Okay, you have a migraine, and then we divide it into classical migraine and this migraine, and they’re all just different ways of describing the kind of migraine. But none of them tell you the cause. 

I would like to highlight another perspective to help in case of head pain based on my experience of a similar case. where we try to understand, the causative factor, and maintenance cause ( past illness, emotional, physical stress).

Although different patients may show the more or less same symptoms. But understanding the causative factor and given appropriate measures, have shown significate cures in head pain cases.

  • Understanding trigger factors in food, which can trigger migraine.
  • Impact of stress, the impact of stress is different on people, some can handle it relatively well, and others can show full-blown symptoms of migraine.
  • Sleep cycle:- improper or  less sleep 
  • In females imbalance of hormones ( Premenstrual migraine), imbalance of estrogen and progesterone.
  •  Nutritional deficiencies like :- Magnesium, B2, B6 & Co-10
  • Impact of drug/substance abuse:- example rebound head pain in case of long-standing pain killer, the person used to alcohol, coffee, etc 
  • Understanding the allergies in food that trigger the migraine:- peanut, egg, dairy, gluten, etc 
  • Understanding  your gut health:- leaky gut, gut bacteria

There may be up to 29 different factors that can drive a migraine, and traditional medicine uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Just because you know the name of your disease, it doesn’t mean you know what’s wrong with you.

We have designed a special protocol where we as a medical detectives try to find out precise causative factors in your case, it may be nutrient deficiencies, leaky gut, your coping mechanism of stress, hormonal imbalance, food allergy, etc, 

Maybe you have 1-2 causative or all above mentioned as the cause of your chronic head pain, it is here, that we got to figure out what are the factors that are driving that person’s unique presentation of their migraines and try a to-do evaluation of causative factor so that an individualistic prescription of homeopathic medicine with lifestyle and diet management is ascertained to make the lasting cure in head pain and migraine.

As no two migraine patients are the same, treatment depends solely on understanding the person having a headache…as the saying goes Treat the person, not the disease.

Treatment of Lichen planus

Are you suffering from itching and a rash that is not getting cured in spite of the best Possible medication and also its keeps on spreading to another part of the body, and leaving behind dark skin pigmentation. There is a high chance you might have been suffering from lichen planus.

What is Lichen planus??

Lichen planus is a disease affecting skin, nails, hairs, scalp, mouth, and genitals. It is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder that is manifested on the skin as

  • Flat-topped red to purple bumps with a round or irregular shape 
  • Itching 

It can be easily mistaken for other skin conditions like rash, and eczema which cause the skin to become Red, Itchy and flaky.

What is the cause of lichen planus?

  • Autoimmune
  • Post medication:- Chloroquine, Non -steroidal anti inflammatory drug
  • Some cases:- post viral infection 

Types of lichen planus.

  • Oral lichen planus
  • Genital lichen planus
  • Lichen planus of nails
  • Lichen planus of hair and scalp

The common area involved in lichen Planus 

  • Flexor part of wrist, forearm, shins, ankle 
  • The anterior part of the thighs
  • Mouth, Buccal mucosa
  • Less common on lips, tongue & genitals

what happens when Lichen planus is left untreated?

  • The lesions develop & Spread over the body over a course of several weeks or a few months.
  • The Oral Lichen planus- effect of the ability to eat & affected skin might Stay darker even after the rash cleans up. 
  • Oral Lichen Planus – increases the risk of oral cancer
  • Lichen Planus of the ear canal – may lead to hearing loss.
  • Genital lichen planus can lead to ulceration and bleeding, with severe pain.

Homeopathy Approach  for lichen planus

Homeopathic treatment for Lichen planus involves Getting the complete and detailed information from you about your Lichen Planus eruptions and coming to customized Homeopathic medicines for Lichen Planus for you. The scope of treatment is variable in different cases. In freshly diagnosed cases when homeopathy is taken as the first line of treatment the results are much more favorable as the case is not complicated with long use of steroids/ other medications.

Also preventing the further spread of disease to other parts of the body is also a good achievement. In most cases skin lesion resolves in 12-18 months, some rare complicated cases would need more than 24 months of treatment.

Recurrent red hives (urticaria)

Do you have a recurrent history of red swollen/raised-like eruption with itching and burning pain that appears suddenly lasting from a few hours to days/months? 

 

You may have hives or termed as urticaria.

 

Urticaria is known to affect up to 20 percent of the population and strikes people irrespective of age, race, or gender.

 

Hives most often appear in the evening or early morning just after waking. Itching is typically worse at night, often interfering with sleep.

 

Causes

  1. Hives can occur when too much histamine is released in the body by the immune system in response to allergens. Histamines are chemicals your body produces in an attempt to defend itself against infection and other outside intruders. Unfortunately, in some people, histamines can cause swelling, itching, and many of the symptoms that are experienced with hives. 
  2. Common allergen 
  • Dust
  • Food allergen:- 
  • Stress
  • Drug allergy
  • Insect bite
  • Sunlight




Types of hives

  1. Acute /allergic reaction:- episode occurring of less than six weeks. The most common causes of hives are allergic reactions. These can be caused by any allergen you might be sensitive to, including foods (such as nuts, milk, and eggs), pet dander, pollen, dust mites, insect bites, or stings, medications (primarily antibiotics, cancer drugs, and ibuprofen)

 

  1. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. In this condition, hives are often accompanied by breathing difficulties, nausea or vomiting, severe swelling, and dizziness. This type of case needs immediate attention/hospitalization.
  2. Chronic hive:- This is the case in which urticaria is from more than six weeks of time and is of recurring nature, due consideration should be given to rule out following underlying pathology.
  • celiac disease

  • lupus
  • type 1 diabetes
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • thyroid disease
  1. Dermatographism:- these are the cases wherein general scratching/stroking on the skin creates a red hive-like eruption. 
  2. Temperature-induced hives Sometimes change in temperature can induce hives in people who are sensitive to such changes. Cold-induced hives may occur from cold water or air exposure, while body heat from physical activity may cause exercise-induced hives. Exposure to sunlight or tanning beds may also bring about solar hives in some people.
  3. Infection-induced hives Both viral and bacterial can cause hives. Common bacterial infections causing hives include urinary tract infections and streptococcal throat. Viruses that cause infectious mononucleosis, hepatitis, and colds often cause hives.
  4. Angioedema:- In this type of case swelling happens under the skin, seen around the eye & lips occasionally genitals, hands, and feet.

 


Management:-

  • Identifying the cause and possible refrain and avoid consuming such food/ allergens.
  • Avoid using steroids in such cases, steroid-dependent cases take a little longer to heal in the long run.
  • Although urticaria manifestation is visible on the skin, the problem is the system disorder( immune system), which needs to address deeper error. Addressing the local issue will only give temporary results, with recurrence on withdrawal of medicine.
  • Homeopathy plays a crucial role to address the cure from the root cause. Rather than just suppressing outward manifestation of symptoms.
  • Homeopathic treatment for urticaria is more beneficial because, with conventional medicines, there are chances of long-term dependency on anti-allergic medicines. While Homoeopathic treatment involves analyzing complete and detailed information from the patient to select the right constitutional medicine for providing marked improvement with long-term relief.
  • Homeopathic medicines reduce both the intensity and frequency of attacks of urticaria and help in improving the quality of life of patients. Individualized homeopathic treatment is associated with significant alleviation of urticaria symptoms, thus also leading to a reduction in the use of conventional anti-allergic medication.

 

Can I prevent hives? 

If you know what triggers your hives, you may be able to prevent an outbreak by avoiding certain situations or making small changes to your diet.

If you’re not sure what triggers your hives, you may find it helpful to try:

  • Keeping a food diary — to help you identify and keep track of foods that might trigger your condition. Peanuts, eggs, or shellfish can be triggers for some people
  • Wearing loose, light clothing — if heat or physical pressure trigger your hives
  • Avoiding excessive heat, spicy foods, or intense physical exercise — if getting hot or sweating makes you break out in hives
  • Avoiding aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications — these medications can make hives worse, or trigger an outbreak if you are sensitive to them
  • Avoiding alcohol — can trigger an immune response that causes hives in some people

It’s important to remember that you won’t be able to prevent all cases of hives, but the prevention above may help provide relief if they do occur.



 A common question asked by the patient in the clinic

 

Are urticaria hives contagious?

Urticaria hives aren’t contagious, meaning you won’t develop them on your skin by touching hives on another person. However, the trigger that causes this skin reaction can be contagious.

How is urticaria diagnosed?

Diagnosis is typically reached using the patient’s history along with a physical examination. Laboratory workup is based on clinical suspicion and is used to exclude underlying causes, although most cases constitute unknown or spontaneous causes.

 

Are the hives and urticaria the same?

Yes, urticaria is the medical terminology name for hives.

 

Urticaria how long does it last?

In acute cases, it all depends upon the causative /trigger factor, the earlier we remove or stop it the episode of recurrence if ints intensity and frequency may stop.

Chronic hives last a longer time. Most often more than 50% of the time it is autoimmune. The analyzing of homeopathic constitutional medicine and continuing for six months to two years have shown a considerable decrease in its frequency and intensity with complete remission of symptoms.

 

Why urticaria occurs at the night?

Urticaria can be triggered at any time, there is no time preference noted as such.

Another reason may be possible that you are exposing yourself to the irritant causing the hives more in the evening, resulting in a more severe reaction/renewed reaction.

 

What is cholinergic urticaria?

Cholinergic urticaria is a type of hives brought on by raised body temperature. It typically develops when you exercise or sweat. More often than not, Cholinergic urticaria appears and disappears on its own within a few hours.

The second wave of coronavirus management

It has been now more than a year since coronavirus has intruded in our life. if we trace from beginning till date covid -19, a pandemic can be overwhelming. Yet the virus is still racing toward the second wave. The virus has got into everything. We have cases of physical abuse, marital discord, parental loss of income, loss of a dear and loved ones. We have experienced many varied form challenges.

 

Now that we are at the start of the second wave of infection, believe me, what we are seeing in clinical practice, the mode of the infection is very notorious what it was a year back. In practice, we frequently encountered on average 8-10 cases per day with case history, which are highly suggestive of covid infection. Blame it on the frivolous attitude of us in the recent past, the immune to fear factor towards covid or our complacency behavior.

 

The fact is, we are still in the midst of a struggle with the virus. We are yet to make peace with the virus. We are yet to maintain all precautions, whether you are vaccinated or not, whether you have got infected with the virus in the recent past, maintaining all precautions as a given guideline by our healthcare system is paramount to avoid the spread.

Based on our clinical exposure since following last year, related to coronavirus, We have attended many hundreds of cases, which were ranging from preventive care, asymptomatic positive cases, mild to moderate positive cases, and few severe cases. Which were managed majority exclusively with homeopathic medicine with the excellent prognostic result and few cases wherein both modern and Homeopathic medicine were continued based on severity and functionality of cases.

We are extending our services further to carter such cases in the coming days, with our advanced understanding of protocols. We incorporated various tools and management measurements to access and deliver consistent services.

We designed various category to help accordingly

  • Preventive medicine
  • Asymptomatic cases with RTPCR positive
  • Mild to the moderate case  with RTPCR positive 

We designed methodology wherein regular monitoring of vitals, dispensing of medicine, assessment of any red flag symptoms and to convey accordingly to seek a higher center for management.

We passionately await to help you, whatever best we can offer through our science.

Fever In Children ..Things To Do

Fever in children is Something every parent Observes in their Child, Some child may Experience recurrent History of Fever, Some Child may have Seasonal fever. Some may have long History of Fever

 

Doctor takes into account in understand the patterns, evolution and associated complaints in fever,  As said, It is the root cause of fever which Need to be addressed rather than only suppressive measure to get rid of fever

 

Fever is a protective defense mechanism the body employs to fight infection. Fever is manifestation of illness, But Not an illness itself.

 

Fever as protective mechanism

  • Most cases in the fever body’s own immune become stimulated, whereby there is production of natural antibodies.
  • Fever let’s to restrict the proliferation of infection.

 

When to get cautious

  • In some cases of persistent high fever it may lead to dehydration.
  • Fever with hallucination/disorientation
  • In some cases children with high fever may lead to febrile convulsions, although convulsion is short-lasting & no future recurrence of convulsion noted.

 

Point to Implement

  • In case of sudden high fever greater than 104 Fahrenheit degree, colling with tap water or sponge bath.
  • Mercury thermometer or electronic thermometer both are fairly acceptable measurement devices.
  • Normal body temperature is one degree higher in the evening compared to the morning.
  • It is important to note the degree of fever at the onset of illness, its rhythm behavior of child during the fever and during the inter febrile period.
  • If there is a particular change in terms of his desire in food, water sleep patterns to be noted.
  • Is the fever associated with chills/rigor or perspiration.
  • What are the associated complaints with the fever such as any cough, loose motion, nasal discharge, throat pain, body pain, etc to be noted.
  • Watch for urine output.
  • Antipyretics should not be used to suppress the fever but to prevent the fever from rising to a dangerously high level.
  • In our practice, we do not recommend using antipyretics still >102-degree Fahrenheit, if the child does not complain of anything in fever.
  • It is not ideal to accept fever to go down normally, has a fever have some beneficial effect we need the body’s defense mechanism to fight infection
  • Report doctors with an accurate history of fever with a detailed record of temperature jotted on paper every one to two hours for initially three-four days at start of fever
  • This data would be of extreme help to doctors in asserting the diagnosis and management.
  • In my homeopathic practice, the management of fever in children has played a great role in enhancing their immunity. The relapse of recurrent illness fever has reduced drastically. Fever cases are managed effectively in homeopathy.
  • My experience is that the more the acute febrile episode is managed well with homeopathy, child’s immunity is more enhanced and their relapse can be avoided effectively.

Don’t Hold Back Your Sleep Disorder

In today’s world of fast pace, looking after a family, job, relationship,  distraction of social media and other responsibility, what I have observed we easily compromise our sleep to balance another part. We don’t need research to tell us that sleep is critical for brain function, but there’s plenty of it out there. We’ve all experienced groggy feeling, poor decision making and memory loss after a night of little or no sleep. 

What happens when a person doesn’t get enough sleep?

Studies have shown a clear relationship between sleep, food consumption, weight regulation, and metabolism.

people, who habitually sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to have a higher-than-average body mas index (BMI)? Researchers believe that this is because our bodies secrete hormones while we sleep that control appetite, metabolism, and glucose processing. Lack of sleep can wreak serious havoc on your insulin levels, put you at higher risk for diabetes, anxiety, and depression and worsen your PCOS symptoms, especially if you sleep less than five hours per night.

 

What causes sleep disorders?

 

  • Lifestyle choices:- Sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed when we are overcommitted.

 

  • Disease and/or medical conditions: Many diseases and conditions make it difficult to sleep, either because you cannot get comfortable and relax or because they literally wake you, as in the case of sleep apnea. Often these diseases are caused, in part by sleep deprivation. Diseases such as coronary disease allergies cough, asthma, some chronic pain, depression, women by sleep deprivation, creating an unhealthy cycle.

 

  • Sleep apnea: If you snore loudly and wake with a dry mouth, headaches, or shortness of breath, and if your partner observes that you stop breathing during sleep, you should be tested for sleep apnea, Sleep apnea will worsen your insulin resistance and glucose processing.

 

  • Medication: Sleep disruption is a common side effect of many popular medications. 

 

  • Melatonin imbalance: Melatonin is a powerful hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm, the cycle of waking, and Sleep Disruption in its levels often results in sleep deprivation or unhealthy sleep patterns.

 

  • Cortisol imbalance: Your cortisol levels should naturally rise and fall. Ideally, they peak around 8 a.m. and drop off between midnight and 4 a.m. If you wake between 1 and 3 a.m. it may be because of low adrenal function and cortisol or inadequate glycogen reserves in the liver.

 

  • Strive to sleep seven to eight hours per night. Six hours seems to be the minimum amount of sleep the average person needs per night to function and be healthy. More than eight and a half to nine hours can also create metabolic issues. Here are some tips for getting a good night’s sleep

 

Measures to take for proper sleep 

 

  • Eat the right foods. Choose foods that promote sleep (potassium-rich fruit, dark leafy greens, turkey, whole grains), and avoid sleep-interfering foods (anything high in fat or sugar even natural sugars like berries). If blood sugar drops below 50 mg/dL at night, it can increase levels of adrenaline, glucagon, cortisol, and growth hormone, all of which can stimulate the brain. Eating a big meal before sleep is not a good idea either. Your body will be too busy digesting to focus on the restorative aspects of sleep, like detoxifying, regenerating cells, and reviving. If you must eat before bed, the best snacks contain both carbohydrates and protein. Legumes, nuts, and seeds are all good choices.
  • Support your adrenal glands. Although cortisol helps your body to adjust to perceived emergencies, chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, a cortisol imbalance, and sleeplessness. Take steps to manage your stress during the day. Experiment with relaxation techniques, yoga, and daily movement.
  • Supplement with magnesium. Magnesium is the “relaxation mineral.” Leafy green veggies, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, black beans, and almonds are all good sources of magnesium. You can also choose a high-quality supplement or take an Epsom-salt bath. Adequate magnesium doesn’t guarantee a good night’s sleep, but lack of magnesium will literally keep you up at night.
  • Boost your melatonin. Melatonin must have darkness to trigger activation (even if it is supplemented). Turn off lights and pull light-blocking shades. Turn off electronics at least an hour before bedtime.
  • Practice a sleep ritual. A sleep ritual is a crucial element for ensuring a good night’s sleep. Relax your body and mind for 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to signal your body that it is time to sleep. It gives your mind time to settle so it isn’t racing and making “to-do lists” and helps your muscles to let go of the stress of the day. Try to go to bed at the same time each night. Turn off electronics at least an hour before bed, and practice letting the stresses of the day melt away. Repeat the same steps every night before bed, and your body will begin to go to sleep.
  • Cut back (or cut out) caffeine, stimulants, and sugar, especially after lunch. Don’t consume caffeine four to six hours before bed. This includes dark chocolate!
  • Avoid alcohol. Don’t drink alcohol for several hours before sleep. If you have a glass of wine to help you sleep, it will initially act as a sedative, but it disrupts REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, and you’ll wake up in the middle of the night when the alcohol is being metabolized.

 

  • Seek treatment if you have an underlying medical condition. A health-care professional can help you resolve sleep apnea, depression, or anxiety.



Conclusion:- sleep disorder is not deadly, but not taken due care it may lead to chronic diseases in long run with decreased productivity. In homeopathy, we take into detail understanding of root cause in case understanding and try to resolve it from within its source in order to avoid any further complication in the most sustainable and non-addictive medicine.
