Jaundice and its treatment - 2

January 16th, 2010

All fats like ghee, butter, cream and oils must be avoided for at least two weeks, and after that their consumption should be kept down to the minimum. Digestive disturbances must be avoided. No food with a tendency to ferment or putrefy in the lower intestines like pulses, legumes, etc. should be induced in diet. The juice of bitter luffa is regarded as an effective remedy for jaundice. It is obtained by pounding and squeezing through cloth. The juice should be placed on the palm of the hand and drawn up through the nostrils.

This will cause a profuse outflow of the yellow colored fluid through the nostrils. The toxic matter having been evacuated in a considerable quantity, the patient will feel relieved. It is, however, a strong medicine and may cause in the patients with delicate nature, side effects like giddiness, migraine and at times high fever for a short duration. It’s use should, therefore, be avoided by such patients. If the green juice of bitter luffa is not available, it can best be substituted by two or three drops of the fluid obtained by soaking its dry crusts overnight in water. This produces an identical effect. Seeds of bitter luffa which are easily available can also be used for the same purpose after rubbing in water.

Another valuable food remedy for jaundice is the green leaves of the radish. The leaves should be pounded and their juices extracted through the cloth. One pound of this juice daily is sufficient for an adult patient. It should be strained through a clean piece of muslin cloth before use. It provides immediate relief. It induces a healthy appetite and proper evacuation of bowels, and this results in a gradual decrease of the trouble. In most cases, a complete cure can be ensured within eight to ten days.

Promote your products today!

January 3rd, 2010

Hello friends. How many of you love to promote things? Well, if you are an advertiser or an owner of a company, then definitely you need to promote things. I am happy to discuss with all my blog readers about promotional products and its importance in today’s world. Yes, promoting products plays a major role. I still remember, when I was around 20 years ago, people used to promote their products in newspapers and magazines. And at that point of time, people had no opportunity to promote in the world of media.

So why did not people promote in the media? Well it is very simple because media was not so powerful. There were very fewer or no television sets at all. And if at all they had, people did not advertise over the television as it was only used to watch news and movies. However, people have now realized the importance of media including television but not limited to radio, internet, road-advertising, mobile advertising and much more. Thus, this is helping a lot for every person to know more about the current available products in the market.

Thus, I would like to conclude by saying, advertising is very essential and it can be in any form, television or radio or internet or whatever. Therefore, people will realize the best offers and discounts that are currently ongoing in the market with the help of marketing. So if you are looking  forward to advertise your product, then ensure you use all the available tools to market your product as advertising brings in a lot of people very quickly and easily. Good luck and cheers!

Jaundice and its treatment - 1

December 28th, 2009

Jaundice is indicative of the malfunctioning of the liver. It may be caused by an obstruction of the bile ducts which discharge bile salts and pigment in to the intestine. The bile then gets mixed with blood and this gives a yellow pigmentation to the skin. The obstruction of the bile ducts could be due to a gall stones or inflammation of the liver, known as hepatitis, caused by a virus. In the latter case, the virus spreads and may lead to epidemics owing to over-crowding, dirty surroundings, insanitary conditions and contamination of food and water. Other causes of jaundice are pernicious anaemia and certain diseases affecting the liver such as typhoid, malaria, yellow fever and tuberculosis.

The simple form of jaundice can be cured rapidly by diet therapy and exercises. Recovery will, however, be slow in serious cases which have been caused by obstruction or pressure in bile ducts. The patient should rest until the acute symptoms of the disease subside. The patient should be put on a fruit juice for a week. The juice of lemons, grapes, peer, carrot, beet and sugarcane can be taken. A hot water enema should be taken daily during the fast to ensure regular bowel elimination, thereby preventing the absorption of decomposed, poisonous material in to the blood stream. The fruit juice fast may be discontinued after the severity of the disease is over and a simple diet may be resumed.

The simple diet may be resumed on the following lines -

On rising : A glass of warm water mixed with two teaspoons of lime juice.

Breakfast : One fresh juicy fruit such as apple, papaya, grapes, berries and mango. One cup wheat dalia or one slice of whole wheat bread with a little butter.

Mid-morning : Orange juice.

Lunch : Two small chappatis of whole wheat flour, a cup of strained vegetable soup, a steamed leafy vegetable such as spinach, fenugreek or carrot and a glass of buttermilk.

Mid-afternoon : Orange juice or coconut water.

Dinner : Two whole chappatis with a little ghee or butter, baked. Also, baked potato and one other leafy vegetable like spinach and fenugreek, a glass of hot milk and honey of desired.

Jaundice and its symptoms

December 28th, 2009

Jaundice is the most common of all liver disorders resulting from an obstruction in the bile duct, or the loss of function of the bile-producing liver cells. There are several forms of jaundice but all of them are marked by yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. The liver, located under the diaphragm just above the stomach, is a vast chemical laboratory which performs many important functions. It inactivates hormones no longer needed, synthesizes many amino acids used in building tissues, and breaks protein in to sugar and fat when required for energy. It produces lacithin, cholesterol, bile and blood albumin, vital to the removal of tissue wastes. It also stores vitamins and minerals.

Bile is a vital digestive fluid which is essential for proper nutrition. It exercises a most favorable influence on the general processes of digestion. It also prevents decaying changes in food. If the bile is prevented from entering the intestines there is an increase in gases and other products. Normally, the production of bile and its flow is constant. The symptoms of jaundice are extreme weakness, headache, fever, loss of appetite, undue fatigue, severe constipation, nausea and yellow coloration of the eyes, tongue, skin and urine. The patient may also feel a dull pain in the liver region.

Treatment for Intestinal worms - 2

December 7th, 2009

Both fresh garlic and its oil are effective. An ancient method of its medication was to place a couple of cloves of fresh garlic in each shoe. As the person walks, it is crushed and the worm-killing garlic oil is absorbed by the skin and carried  by blood into the intestines as it possesses a powerful penetrative force. This method is worth a trial by those who do not like the taste of garlic and cannot eat it. Also, carrot is valuable in the elimination of thread worms from children as it is offensive to all parasites. A small cup of grated carrot taken every morning, with no other food added to the meal, can clear those worms quickly.

The digestive enzyme papain in the milky juice of the unripe papaya is a powerful anthelmintic for destroying roundworms. A tablespoon of the fresh juice and equal quantity of honey should be mixed with three to four tablespoons of hot water and taken as a dose by an adult. This should be followed two hours later by a dose of 30 to 60 ml. of castor oil mixed in 250-375 ml. of lukewarm milk. This treatment should be repeated for two days, if necessary. For children of 7-10 years, half the above doses should be given. For children under three years, a tablespoon is sufficient.

Papaya seeds are also used for this purpose. They are rich in a substance called caricin which is a very effective medicine for expelling roundworms. The alkaloid Carpaine found in the leaves has also the power to destroy or expel intestinal worms. They are given with honey. The bark, both of the root and the stems of pomegranate tree, is well known for its anthelmintic properties of destroying parasitic worms. The root-bark is, however, preferred as it contains greater quantity of the alkaloid punicine than the stem-bark. This alkaloid is highly toxic to tapeworms. Ninety to 180 ml. of the cold decoction of bark, preferably fresh bark, should be given three times at intervals of one hour to an adult. A purgative should be given after the last dose. The dose for children is 30 to 60 ml. The decoction is also used for expelling worms.

Treatment for Intestinal worms - 1

December 7th, 2009

The eggs of these parasites are introduced into the human system through the medium of food or water, especially undercooked meat. Roundworms may result from dirty fingers and food. Hookworms enter the human body through the skin from infected water. The tapeworms are transmitted into the body through undercooked flesh foods or foods contaminated by dogs. The real cause of intestinal worms, however, is wrong feeding. The eggs of these worms, taken into the human body through food and water, can breed in the intestines only if they find there a suitable medium for their propagation. This medium is an intestinal tract clogged with morbid matter and systemic refuse due to wrong feeding habits.

The treatment for intestinal worms should begin with diet. The patient should be kept on an exclusive diet of fresh fruits for five to seven days. Thereafter, he may adopt a well-balanced diet consisting mainly of fruits, vegetables, milk and wholemeal bread. The diet should exclude fatty foods such as butter, cream, oil, refined foods and flesh foods. This dietary should be continued till the parasites are completely eliminated. In some cases, depending on the progress made, the all-fruit diet may have to be repeated at regular intervals. In obstinate cases, the patient should resort to short fasts on raw fruit and vegetable juices. This fast has to be of a fairly long duration in case of tapeworms.

Among the numerous home remedies found beneficial in the treatment of intestinal worms, the use of coconut is most effective. It is an ancient remedy for expelling all kinds of intestinal worms. A tablespoon of the freshly ground coconut should be taken at breakfast followed by a dose of Castor oil after three hours. The process may be repeated till the cure is complete. Garlic has been used for expelling intestinal worms from ancient times by Hindus, Chinese, Greeks, Romans and Babylonians. It is also used by the modern biological practitioners for this purpose.

In the modified eating pattern, breakfast should contain of fresh and dried fruits, whole cereals, seeds and yogurt. Of the two main meals, one should consist of a large mixed salad and the other should be protein-based. A cup of milk sweetened with honey at bedtime is helpful as the amino-acid tryptophan contained in milk induces sleep. Sleep is often elusive. Any attempt to force it only drives it further away.

Hence, while going to bed, visualize a blank black wall occupying the entire field of vision. Turn your thoughts to light and cheerful matters. Use light bed clothes and relax. Do not lie on your back, but on your side with one or both knees brought well up and the head and shoulders slightly forward. During the quently and a healthy sleeper usually shifts from one side to the other several times in the course of the night.

Controlled breathing is also a great help in inducing sleep. The method is to lie on your side in bed, and then take three deep breaths expanding the abdomen completely. The hold your breath as long as you can. Next, take three more breaths and repeat the breath-holding. While you hold your breath, carbon dioxide accumulates in the body and induces natural sleep. Regular, active exercising during the day and mild exercise at bedtime enhances the quantity and the quantity of sleep. Exercise stimulates the elimination of lactic acid from the body which co-relates with stress and muscular tension. Regular exercise also produces hormonal charges which are beneficial to the body and to the sleep pattern. Walking, jogging, skipping, swimming are all ideal exercises.
