Arnica the wonder drug for brain injury
Arjun was two years old when he suffered a major head injury. After days of hospitalisation in the intensive care unit he was discharged, but was soon back to the same ward when he developed traumatic meningitis- an inflammation of layers covering the brain - due to an injury.
Mind and Homeopathy
July 17, 2007
If the brain was so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple
that we wouldn’t understand it. As the modern medical world inches towards understanding the complexities of this 10 trillion-celled mass called brain, in the last century it inched a bit further in realizing (pardon me for not using the word understanding!) the connection of the mind with the physical body. This has also led to the discovery a totally new set of problems called psychosomatic disorders.
How Slow is Homeopathy ?
July 9, 2007
HAHNEMANN not just discovered a healing principle but also a law governing the relationship between all drugs and all diseases. Unfortunately, his breakthrough was glossed over. Since its inception homeopathy has been a victim of perpetuated prejudice. A bias which has become compulsive or, should we say, pathological, pathobias.
Homeopathic Treatment Hemorrhoids

Oh Those Painful hemorrhoids
In my clinical practice I have found Homeopathic medicines ? Nux Vomica, Aesculus, Aloes, Hamemelis and Sulphur being extremely effective in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Hahnemann (the founder of homeopathy), writing about Nux, tells us that there are just a few medicines of which symptoms are so similar to those of the common ailments that these are very frequently found useful. These he terms as Polychrests ? drugs of many uses. Nux is a leading homeopathic polychrest. Even for a skilled homeopath, Nux is a popular prescription.
After years of neglect, when the ailing digestive system starts showing its symptoms, it usually expresses itself with the feeling of unsatisfactory stools. Bowels are cleared in not less than two or three attempts. This is a common kind of constipation and is usually found in conjunction with piles. Piles, when associated with such bowel movements, need Nux Vomica. Nux, as a rule, cures both. It acts best when taken at night. Dosage: Nux Vomica 200 one dose at night, every alternate day, for a period of two weeks.
Aesculus is more often indicated in blind piles (non-bleeding). The rectum feels full, sore with burning and itching sensation as if it is full of small sticks, with pain shooting to the back. Dosage: 30 c four times a day until substantial relief starts. Aloes Socotrina can be used for piles that protrude like a bunch of grapes, and painful, hot and are relieved by cold water. If indicated, 30 c potency can be used four times a day. Bleeding piles are common and are a feature of internal piles. Hamemelis 30 c can be taken four times a day to control the bleeding.
The use of Sulphur requires a special mention in the treatment of chronic piles but should be used only under the guidance of professional homeopath.
Homeopathic Treatment of Asthma in Kids

Asthma In Kids
A
asthma is the leading cause of chronic illness among children and the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15. Unfortunately it is very common that the parents of young ones are not able to recognize the early signs of asthma and usually overlook them as a routine ailment which usually results in wastage of an effective time when asthma could have been easily controlled.
What exactly is asthma? Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs and results in chronic, inflammation of the airways. That means, the small tubes that bring air in the lungs are swollen and inflamed and at times clogged with mucus. This swelling and clogging makes it difficult for air to move freely in and out.

When Anxiety Strikes?
For Mrs. Suman (not her real name) living life normally, is not at all easy. She is in a constant state of worry and is unable to relax. Even a small little thing can keep her occupied for days. She is always imagining things worse than they really are, If it is a simple headache, she’d think it to be a cancerous tumor or something terrible and this terrible feeling of ?what’s going to happen next? can really kill her. When it comes to meeting someone new, traveling, or going to a party, Mrs. Suman gets sleepless nights and has to plan for days before she can do it. She suffers from an anxiety disorder called ?Generalized Anxiety Disorder?.

High Blood Pressure Could Be Killing You While You Are Young
Research shows that high blood pressure starts much early in life and at times goes undetected for decades until it shows itself in symptoms. It usually, is one of the most common cause for heart disease. In an extensive research carried around the world for six years, a scientific panel learned that the problems in the cardiovascular system (heart and the vessels carrying blood) can begin at much lower blood pressure levels than previously believed .
The Gas Problem
June 19, 2007
Is Too Much Flatulence Bothering You?
Although having gas is common, it can be extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing at times. Gas is eliminated either by burping (belching) or passing it through the rectum (flatulence). Half to two liters is produced normally in adults and may pass up to 14 times a day on an average. But the condition can be really bad for some individuals -one study noted a person who expelled gas 140 times daily, with 70 passages in a period of just four hours. Although every one has gas, but why do some suffer from it more than others? The answer lies either in their biological conditions of their gastro-intestinal tract or in their eating habits. The Gas usually comes from two sources
