July 5, 2024Pranjal Saini Health & Wellness Article

As Jaipurites welcome the refreshing monsoon showers, it’s crucial to remain vigilant about potential health challenges that accompany the rainy season. The monsoon in Jaipur brings relief from the scorching summer heat but also increases humidity, leading to various health issues. Let’s delve into tailored tips, homeopathy remedies, and insights from local health concerns.

Understanding Monsoon’s Impact on Health in Jaipur

The onset of monsoon in Jaipur brings relief but also raises concerns about health risks, particularly those associated with stagnant water and fluctuating temperatures:

Mosquito-Borne Diseases: Stagnant water from rain can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes, increasing the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria. In past, concerns were raised about water bodies like Taal Katora, Jal Mahal and Galta Kund possibly serving as breeding grounds for Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, carriers of dengue virus.
Respiratory Infections: Damp conditions can exacerbate respiratory issues such as colds, coughs and flu. Proper clothing and indoor ventilation are essential precautions.
Waterborne Diseases: Contaminated water during monsoon can lead to diseases like typhoid and hepatitis A. Boiling or purifying water is crucial and avoiding unhygienic street food is recommended.

Tips for Staying Healthy During Monsoon in Jaipur

To maintain good health during the monsoon season in Jaipur, consider these practical tips:

Healthy Diet: Emphasise fruits and vegetables rich in nutrients and antioxidants to boost immunity against infections prevalent during the rainy season.
Hydration: Drink warm fluids like herbal teas and soups to stay hydrated and aid in detoxification.
Personal Hygiene: Regular handwashing with soap and water, especially before eating, is crucial. Hand sanitizers can serve as alternatives when soap and water aren’t available.
Clean Environment: Keep living spaces dry and clean to prevent fungal infections. Mosquito nets and repellents can help prevent mosquito bites.
Boost Immunity: Consider natural immune boosters such as vitamin C supplements and local herbal remedies to strengthen the body’s defences.

Homeopathy for Monsoon Health Challenges in Jaipur

Homeopathy offers gentle yet effective treatments for monsoon-related ailments prevalent in Jaipur:

Eupatorium Perfoliatum: Useful for symptoms resembling malaria, such as fever with bone-breaking pains.

THE THIRD TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY

April 7, 2023cTc Educational Article Health & Wellness Article #birth #thirdtrimester

The third trimester is the last phase of your pregnancy. It lasts from weeks 29 to 40 or till the day baby arrives. Over the next few weeks, you will probably start to feel a bit more uncomfortable and tired. Your fetus continues to grow in size and weight. The lungs are still maturing, and the fetus begins to position itself head down. By the end of the third trimester, the fetus is about 19 to 21 inches long and weighs, on average, 6 to 9 pounds.

Significance of Third Trimester-

The third trimester marks the home stretch, as you prepare for the delivery of your baby. The fetus is continuing to grow in weight and size, and the body systems finish maturing. You will continue to gain weight and begin to have false labor contractions (Braxton-Hicks contractions).

Fetal development during the Third Trimester includes the following-

The fetus can see and hear.
The fetus can suck its thumb.
The fetus can cry and smile.
By the 36th week, the head may “engage” (drop into the pelvic area). This is a process called “lightening.”
The brain continues to develop.
The kidneys and lungs continue to mature.
The bones of the skull stay soft to make it easier to pass through the birth canal.
For many babies, the irises of the eyes are slate blue. The permanent eye color will not appear until several days or weeks after birth.
By 38 to 40 weeks, the fetus’ lanugo has almost all gone away.
By 38 to 40 weeks, the lungs have matured fully.
The baby is covered in vernix caseosa (or simply called vernix). This is a creamy, protective coating on the skin.

Danger signs of Third Trimester-

Abdominal pain, continuous or severe.
Regular contractions or tightening of the uterus before 36 weeks .(greater than four contractions in one hour)
Chills and fever over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vaginal heavy bleeding.

Alopecia Areata

August 28, 2021cTc Educational Article Health & Wellness Article Medical Articles #Alopecia #Alopecia areata #Hairloss #homoeopathy

Overview

Alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness, is a condition in which hair is lost usually from the head and face, though hair can be lost from any part of the body. Often, it results in a few bald spots on the scalp, beards, mustaches. The amount of hair loss is different for everyone. Some people lose it only in a few spots. Others lose a lot. Sometimes, it can lead to the complete loss of hair on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or, in extreme cases, the entire body (alopecia universalis).

Many people who develop alopecia areata are otherwise healthy. They have hair loss and sometimes nail changes, but they remain in good health.

You can get alopecia areata at any age; however, most people develop it by 30 years of age. For many, the disease begins during childhood or the teenage years.

Causes

Alopecia areata is caused by your immune system attacking part of your body. Genetic factors may play a role in alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a condition that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its hair follicles, causing hair loss. It’s important to know that while this attack causes hair loss, the attack rarely destroys the hair follicles. This means that your hair can regrow.

It also runs into families.

Triggering factors are-

Drugs
Post-acute illness
Local skin disorder
Nutritional deficiency
Genetic tendency
Systemic illness
Stress
Hormonal cause-High level of male hormones( both in men and women)
Thyroid disorders
Poor protein intake

Symptoms

Gradual thinning on the top of the head.
Circular or patchy bald spot-Some people experience smooth bald spots, often about an inch across. It may also occur in the beard and eyebrows..skin may become itchy or painful.
Sudden loosening of hair- A physical or emotional shock can stimulate hair loss. A handful of hair comes out during combing or washing.
Full-body hair loss-Some medical treatments such as chemotherapy for cancer can result in loss of hair all over the body.

Treatment

1. Find out the Trigger and manage it, minimize its effect on your life.

2. Eat a healthy diet and avoid high-stress situations.

Increase intake of proteins like soya, fish, eggs, chicken, beans, and legumes
Have adequate fruits and green leafy vegetables in your diet daily
Add raw unprocessed nuts to your diet
Include pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds as they nourish your hair from the roots
Keep yourself well hydrated by drinking adequate water
Avoid smoking and better still if you can give up smoking as it is bad for hair and could lead to hair loss
Reduce stress levels with relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation.

3. Periodic washing of hair is to be done with a suitable cleaning agent. In most cases, it is 2-3 times per week.

4. Comb should be individualized and it is necessary to maintain its cleanliness.

5. Bikers, even though they wear a helmet, can cover the scalp with a thin cloth to prevent dust, which should be periodically washed.

6. Blow-drying is normally discouraged since wet hair is more fragile than dry hair.

7. Homeopathic medicines for Alopecia Areata act on the body at the level of immunity and restore the deviated function. They also help to control the symptoms of Alopecia Areata without any side effects. The Homeopathic medicines for Alopecia Areata have to be specific to every individual person. Depending on the cause and other factors, the treatment may vary. Resting on the cause, general symptoms, modalities, constitution, etc., the most suitable homeopathic medicine for alopecia areata will be selected.

Fatty Liver – Easily reversible with Diet & Exercise

July 14, 2020cTc Health & Wellness Article #fattyliver #lifestylechanges

Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. Fatty liver occurs when too much fat builds up in liver cells. Although it is normal to have a tiny amount of fat in these cells, the liver is considered fatty if more than 5% of it is fat. There are two main types:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Alcoholic fatty liver disease, also called alcoholic steatohepatitis

Major risk factors for Fatty Liver include obesity, high triglycerides and type 2 diabetes, though it’s also associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Other risk factors include certain medications such as glucocorticoids, and hepatitis C. Eating excess calories causes fat to build up in the liver. When the liver does not process and break down fats as it normally should, too much fat will accumulate. So Diet plays a major role.

Often there are no or few symptoms. Most individuals are asymptomatic and are usually discovered incidentally because of abnormal liver function tests or hepatomegaly noted in unrelated medical conditions. Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.

Just because simple fatty liver is harmless, it doesn’t mean it is not a serious condition. As the disease is linked to being overweight or obese, people with any stage of the disease are more at risk of developing a stroke or heart attack.

1.Stage/Grade 1: simple fatty liver (steatosis)

This is where excess fat builds up in the liver cells but is considered harmless. There are usually no symptoms and you may not even realise you have it until you receive an abnormal blood test result.

2.Stage/Grade 2: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Stage 2 is a more aggressive form of the condition, where the liver has become inflamed.

3.Stage/Grade 3: fibrosis

This fibrous tissue replaces some of the healthy liver tissue, but there is still enough healthy tissue for the liver to continue to function normally.

Prevention & Management-

It is recommended that people with fatty liver disease do not drink alcohol.
Treatment of NAFLD is generally otherwise by dietary changes and regular exercise to bring about weight loss. Decreasing caloric intake by at least 30% or by approximately 750–1,000 kcal/day results in improvement in hepatic steatosis. For people with NAFLD, weight loss via a combination of diet and exercise was shown to improve or resolve the disease.
It is important to make lifestyle changes to prevent the disease progressing to a more serious stage and to lower your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Stop smoking
Treatment of underlying cause if any.
Care Towards Cure have treated successfully many patients of Fatty Liver with combination of Best suited Homeopathy Treatment, Dietry – Lifestyle changes & Life coaching.

6 foods to avoid if you have a fatty liver

Alcohol as Alcohol is a major cause of fatty liver disease as well as other liver diseases.
Added sugar-Stay away from sugary foods such as candy, cookies, sodas, and fruit juices.
Fried foods as these are high in fat and calories.
Salt.
White bread, rice, and pasta & other Starchy food
Red meat.

Eat a Balanced diet

Select foods from all food groups: Grains, fruits, vegetables, meat and beans, milk, and oil.
Eat food with fiber. Fiber helps your liver work at an optimal level. Fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, rice and cereals can take care of your body’s fiber needs.

26th June, International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2020

June 26, 2020cTc Health & Wellness Article #26june #addiction #drugabuse #rehabilitation #sickness 2

The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a United Nations International Day against drug abuse and the illegal drug trade. It is observed annually on 26 June, since 1989. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has, over the years, been actively involved in launching campaigns to mobilize support for drug control.

The theme for the 2020 International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking “Better Knowledge for Better Care” emphasizes the need to improve the understanding of the world drug problem and how in turn, better knowledge will foster greater international cooperation for countering its impact on health, governance and security.

According to the UNODC, nearly 200 million people are using illicit drugs such as cocaine, cannabis, hallucinogens, opiates and sedative hypnotics worldwide. They are leading miserable lives, between life and death.

Drug abuse is a global phenomenon, affecting almost every country, but its extent and characteristics differ from region to region. India too is caught in this vicious circle of drug abuse, and the numbers of drug addicts are increasing day by day. Problems of drug dependence produce dramatic costs to all societies in terms of lost productivity, transmission of infectious diseases, family and social disorder, crime, and excessive utilization of health care. Cannabis, heroin, opium, and hashish are the most commonly used drugs in India after alcohol and tobacco. Tobacco is mentioned in substance abuse to highlight that it should be remembered as the primary licit substance of abuse in our country. Drug users are mainly young and predominately male. The damage to the physical, psychological, moral, and intellectual growth of the youth is very high.

For any individual to become an Addict, he does have contributing factors like, biological, social, cultural and environmental. You often have a person who feels ashamed, insecure, inferior and ill equipped to negotiate his or her way in the world. They believe they can only face their fears or feel any better when they use their drug. He uses his substance to escape reality and live in the world he wants to live in by ignoring his real life and the problems he has to deal with. When an addict is abstinent from his substance, he/she would experience withdrawals.

Addiction treatment & Rehabilitation

Yoga is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, for Addition treatment. Yoga helps in breaking the addiction patterns and heals the body and mind in a gradual way. It addresses the disharmony on body, mind and spirit. Yoga cultivates physical awareness bodily in a soft, nurturing way. It teaches the individual new way to deal with stress, leading to a positive outlook.
By addressing the underlying causes and learning new coping skills, the addict can move from the dark dungeons of abuse to the light of recovery and life.
Rehabilitation, as defined by the WHO, refers to the measures that help individuals with a disability or a disabling health condition achieve and maintain optimum functioning in interaction with their environments.
Care Towards Cure with Homeopathy medicine helps you to strong your will power for De-addiction & reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Helping addicts recover and rebuild their lives by helping them restructure their personality with psychotherapy and medical interventions is a paramount priority in process of Addiction treatment & Rehabilitation.
