From Clinic Diary- A Heartfelt Encounter -Generational Struggles

Hey there,

I wanted to share something pretty eye-opening that happened in my clinic recently. I met this lovely lady in her 60s who came in complaining about some health issues. At first, she linked it to a hiking trip she had taken, but as we chatted, it became clear there was more to the story.

Turns out, her discomfort wasn’t just about physical strain; it was about the emotional strain from her rocky relationship with her daughter-in-law. We all know in-law tensions aren’t uncommon, but this one hit differently. It revealed the kind of daily battles people face just to keep their families together and happy.

I realized how quick we, the younger generation, are to jump to conclusions without really understanding the struggles of our parents and grandparents. This lady’s story made me pause and think.

As she poured out her feelings, it became apparent that decisions made in the heat of the moment had caused her son a lot of pain. What’s even sadder is that her daughter-in-law had moved out, leaving not only her husband but also her own child behind.

This got me reflecting on how we handle family matters. It’s so easy to let egos and small issues drive a wedge between us. In our fast-paced lives, we sometimes forget to slow down and understand the pain our older generation might be going through.

Few question that let me too ponder was 

1. Values and Lessons from Our Roots:

As I sit here, pondering the first question, it’s hard not to recognize the subtle erosion of values that were once the bedrock of our families. The fast-paced world we live in has a way of blurring the lines between personal ambition and the core principles handed down through generations.

I can’t help but wonder if, in our pursuit of individual goals, we’ve inadvertently set aside the timeless lessons of humility, respect, and resilience that our ancestors held dear. The hustle for success, while important, seems to have overshadowed the importance of community, cooperation, and the simple joy of shared moments. It’s a sobering thought—one that makes me question whether our relentless march forward has caused us to leave behind the very values that could anchor us in times of turbulence.

2. Prioritizing Relationships and Family Bonds:

The second question strikes a nerve, forcing me to confront the uncomfortable reality of our priorities. In a world that glorifies personal success, it’s easy to get swept up in the pursuit of individual achievements. Yet, as I reflect, I can’t shake the feeling that we may be sacrificing something precious on the altar of ambition.

Our relationships, the ties that bind us to our roots, are often the casualties of our relentless drive for personal success. It’s as if we’re racing towards a finish line, oblivious to the fact that the true measure of our lives lies not in solitary victories but in the strength of the connections we build. I sense a growing ache, a quiet pain, as I realize that perhaps we’ve become so accustomed to chasing dreams that we’ve forgotten the profound impact of a simple, shared smile around the family dinner table.

3. The Need for Social Reform in Family Dynamics:

The third question digs even deeper, prompting me to question the very fabric of our familial interactions. It’s not an easy realization, but as I reflect on my own experiences, I can’t help but acknowledge the pressing need for a shift in our approach to family dynamics.

Empathy and understanding, often overshadowed by ego and individual desires, seem like endangered species in our modern family structures. The pain I feel is not just in recognizing this societal trend but in acknowledging my own culpability. Have I, too, unknowingly contributed to a system that places personal needs above the collective well-being of my family?

As I grapple with these questions, I can’t escape the conclusion that a reevaluation of our values, priorities, and the very essence of familial bonds is not just desirable—it’s essential. The ache within grows, urging me to be part of the change, to infuse our family interactions with the empathy and understanding that can heal wounds and fortify the foundation of generations to come.

Life throws us curveballs, doesn’t it? As a family doctor, I’m often amazed by the stories people bring to my clinic.

Sometimes, finding the perfect solution feels like trying to catch a shooting star—it’s just out of reach. And you know what? That’s what makes this job so fascinating.

Every now and then, we feel a bit helpless. It’s a reminder that we’re not superheroes with all the answers. Maybe we’re just seeing one part of a bigger story.

Then there are those stories that hit you right in the feels. The struggles of families, the pain they go through—it becomes our pain too. It’s like this unspoken connection we have with our patients.

In these stories where easy solutions are hard to find, there’s something special. It’s a chance to marvel at how people connect. We’re not just fixing illnesses; we’re navigating the emotional rollercoaster that comes with them.

Life’s stories remind us to look beyond the obvious. Healing isn’t just about medicine; it’s about understanding the feelings that hide beneath the surface.

In the end, these stories teach us that healing isn’t just about prescriptions and diagnoses—it’s about acknowledging the human spirit, understanding the pain, and being there for each other. So, as we navigate this incredible journey called life, let’s marvel at its unpredictability, cherish the connections we make, and strive to be not just healers of bodies but also companions in the intricate dance of emotions. Here’s to the stories that shape us and the healing that goes beyond medicine.

The root causes and solutions for women’s Hormonal imbalance

Sound familiar you are not alone, this is the common symptom mentioned by many, caused by hormonal imbalance.

Hormone imbalances are epidemic these days. For example, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), like mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, fluid retention, bloating, breast tenderness, sugar cravings, headaches, and sleep disturbances, affect 75 percent of women. 

And this isn’t just something you need to worry about when you’re 40 or 50 or 60. Imbalances in our hormones can occur in our twenties and thirties.

How hormone work 

Consider your hormones like a symphony, conducted by the endocrine system, which is made up of a number of glands and organs. These include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries (in females), and testes (in males). They may seem unrelated, but they communicate and work together, the way different instruments make up an orchestra.

Your glands control important physiological functions by releasing powerful chemical messengers (hormones) into the blood. The word ‘hormone’ comes from the Greek word hormon, meaning ‘set in motion, and that’s precisely what your hormones do: they trigger activity in different organs and body parts.

Now there are many hormones at work in your body, but there are seven key players that I want you to be familiar with. They are oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, androgen, thyroid, and insulin. No hormone works in isolation; they work in synergy and, ideally, in balance.

Oestrogen

Produced mainly in the ovaries but also by the adrenal glands in the fat tissues, and by the placenta during pregnancy, oestrogen is the hormone that defines the female

progesterone

 It is produced in large amounts in the ovaries during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, in the placenta during pregnancy, and in the adrenal glands in small amounts throughout life.

Cortisol

Cortisol, often known as the ‘stress hormone’, originates from the adrenal glands – small but mighty glands that sit above the kidneys. It’s one of the hormones that we tend to produce more of as we age.

Causes of Imbalance:-

A number of factors can dysregulate normal cortisol levels, including depression, a poor diet, and modern-day stressful lifestyles.

In prehistoric times, stress came mostly in the form of threats to our survival. Our bodies evolved to cope via a ‘fight-or-flight’ response, preparing us for immediate activity. The body shuts down everything that is not important at that moment (like digestion and secretion of sex hormones). This energy burst is short-lived: we either run for our life or fight for our life. Then, once the threat and stress are over our bodies should have a chance to rest and go back to normal.

Ideally, this stress response would be activated only when actually necessary- an acute

Androgen

  • Androgens are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat cells.
  • Androgens play a key role in the hormonal cascade that kick-starts puberty, stimulating hair growth in the pubic and underarm areas

Insulin

Insulin is created in the body to help regulate our blood sugar levels. Our body has very efficient self-regulating mechanisms, the main one being insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas in response to glucose in the bloodstream. Insulin is essential for regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism; it takes the glucose from our blood and transports it into our cells so that it can be burned for energy, allowing blood sugar to return to its normal level. It prevents our blood sugar from getting too high, causing hyperglycemia, which can prove fatal.

Causes of Imbalance

  • Eating too many processed, sugary and refined carb foods.
  • Eating or drinking stimulants like caffeine or fizzy drinks
  • Stress
  • skipping meals
  • Excessive weight
  • Hormonal conditions
  • Sedentary lifestyle or inactivity
  • Toxins in the environment
  • smoking
  • inflammation

Symptoms

  • The rapid fluctuation from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia is observed
  • Low mood, tired easily, agitated

Thyroid

The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. It produces thyroid hormones called thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3)

Thyroid hormones:

  • Stimulate different metabolic functions in the cells
  • Help us grow thick hair on our head
  • Give us energy
  • Regulate temperature
  • Help with ideal weight maintenance

Thyroid hormones can affect:

  • Menstrual cycle
  • Pregnancy
  • Skin hydration
  • Brain development
  • Cholesterol levels
  • Digestion
  • Memory
  • Concentration
  • Blood-sugar balance

Our approach:- Homeopathic Hormone Restorative Treatment (HHRT)

  • Instead of immediately resorting to a hormone replacement (which might be your conventional doctor’s first line of treatment), we  need to figure out the “why” – what is causing the symptoms
  • In other words, we figure out what creates these imbalances – and treat the underlying problem.: we treat the underlying cause(s), create balance, and symptoms get better.
  • Balancing:- a structured approach to assist the hormone-producing gland to create a harmonious function by balancing the insulin hormone.
  • Nourishing:- for optimal functioning the hormone needs a constant supply of nutrition 
  • Nurture:- we access the major stress area which is creating too much cortisol 
  • Cleanse:-  Identifying and removing  toxins that may be altering the functioning of the hormone
  • Move:- Customized basic routine of exercise is planned so has to keep hormone function in balance.

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
