Beautiful Hair With Homeopathy

In todays FaceBook world its essential to have a pretty face.Now there is hardly anything we can do about our faces except to keep it pimple free and have lovely hair! I am not the type to recommend surgey or botox -i am a natural freak.So i suggest good glorious hair is also an eye-catcher.

Homeopathy can help you in various ways to have lovely hair.Hair is very important because it represents your health in many ways.Problems with thyroid, ovaries, chronic diseases & hormonal imbalances will represent on the hair.

The first thing in hair maintainance is the elimination of dandruff. Having lots of dandruff means the skin and scalp is dry-more the dandruff more the dryness.Dont even think of anti-dandruff shampoos. Why ? Because shampoos will further dry the hair and they all have bounce-back phenomena.When you stop using them lots of dandruff will be back.Besides, all shampoos(yes even the so called natural ones) are chemicals- again leading to dryness and harm to the skin.

On the path to addressing dandruff is stop all shampoos-at least bring down its usage to once a wk only.Secondly, start scalp massage at home(or parlour) with warm oil(even just oil will do). Any oil will do.Rub it gently on your scalp.Leave it for hours.Do it 2times a week and wash hair regularly also two times a wk.Massaging the scalp improves the blood supply to the scalp and hence strengthens the hair roots and nurishes them.If you dont like oil at all -just massage scalp.Will help.

Wash your hair with natural reetha or shikakai which now-a-days is available even at chemist stores under some brand name. These are natural and dont irritate the scalp.During really important day use shampoo. Remember even homeopathic shampoos are chemicals-but milder.

A good homeopathic hair oil is Arnica hairoil available in various brands. All are good and arnica works beautifully for the hair. In my 23 yrs practice I have never met any patient who did not say that his/her hairfall did not decrease with Arnica hairoil.

The extra-something for the hair will be natural conditioners like eggs,curd are good.Just break eggs and apply and leave it for 20mts or so and wash hair.Same for the curd.
For the texture apply apple cidar vinegar to hair and leave it on for some time. Wash.

Some important NO-NO for hair
--dont use too hot water for the hair wash.It makes them dry
--dont comb immediately after wash-they break easily
--use large tooth comb first and then fine comb
--avoid colours and dyes-latest research shows they produce cancers.

Do get a complete check-up to find that your overall health is ok and that hairfall is not because of some illness.Eat good amount of proteins especially vegetarians should eat plenty of dals/pulses.Non veg can eat eggs, chicken,meat.

Drink plenty of water and sleep well. Welcome to luscious beautiful hair like Dimple Kapadias !

Simple Ways To Manage Your Blood Pressure

So you were diagnosed of blood pressure.Nothing new today with 970 million people having high blood pressure world-wide and the single cause for premature death.

In panic dont rush for the anti-hypertensive medications or pills. Why ? Because a single noting of raised pressure does not indicate anything at all. Maybe you were tensed because you heard some-one is not well or is diagnosed of cancer or you lost a parent.Take your pressure again with a gap of few days and follow it up with several more.If consistantly you have a raised pressure we need to do something about it.Keep in mind if you have a family history of blood pressure you need to be more alert as you will not have any symtoms because of pressure.People who have no family history will get headaches, weakness , sluggishness and hence will know their BP has increased.

In the mean time do these simple things and see if your BP is responding to it.Doing these consistantly for 3months generally produce good beneficial results.
1) CUT YOUR SALT: Though there are many controversial results about salt, each different and against the earlier its still a good bet.Remember salt means more than your table salt it also means-kettchups, sauces, gravies, chips, popcorns, chutneys, pickles, masalas, dips, preservatives.All these together makes for lot of salt.Cutting just pickles can reduce so much of salt.

2)EATING OUT-Reduce it as much as possible -it adds to the salt , oil, fatty foods.

3)DONT TAKE THE CAR- Take a regular walk daily at least for 20-30 minutes. Only 25 mts of good walk (no talking, gossiping with friends) even 4 times a week gives amazing results.Go to the movies or mall without the car. If its too far take local transport because with it you will end up walking more.Adjust your day to include a walk.Latest research says walking is good for your heart.

4)TALK TO YOURSELF-Introspection helps reduces stress. Talk to yourself-what makes you happy, what do you like to do? Are you doing it ? Why not ? Most of the time there is really no reason and we are caught up in the routine.Dont give others power over you-if someones words can trouble you the whole day he has power over you. Work on yourself, your emotions , nature.

5)EAT FRUITS & VEGETABLES-Plenty of it, its good for health.

Many times its a stress period when we get diagnosed of blood pressure.If the stress is serious and bad-property problems, debts, sudden deaths do take anti-hypertensives (or homeopathy) for a short period of time.As soon as things are better try to get your BP down and then taper off anti-hypertensives.They should never be abruptly stopped-body has got used to it and it will re-act. Take homeopathy for 3months or so and then taper the anti-hypertensives.

Prolonged intake of anti-hypertensives have side-effects and stops the natural healing system of the body.Then you have to always take the anti-hypertensives.Later on you have to be medicated for their side-effects and hence there is long list of medications.

The most important thing about BP is to keep a note of its progress in the body.There has to be a regular check on eyes(retina), kidney, heart to see if their functions are normal.

World Health and Homeopathy

So what are the issues that World Health Organisation WHO thinks are important today ? How healthy is the world ? Which countries are doing well and why ?

The good news is that Tuberculosis as a world problem has slipped from top 10. Still within top 15.And with it the era of infections. Infections are no longer looking problem even in the lower-middle income group countries.Now infections are a problem only in the low income group countries mainly due to the sanitation and other issues connected with infections.

The world is moving towards chronic diseases.The top 10 causes of death include -ischemic heart disease, stroke, HIV-AIDS, cancers, diabetes spread across countries of high income, middle income and higher-middle income. Chronic diseases are taking centre-satge.

What does this say about us ? Several things-for one that the body has been excessively taxed.If you dont have a family history of many illnesses(parents with diabetes,cancer,hypertention or similar) then the body is reasonably built to absorb insults.It will adjust to change of climate, stress-physical/mental, emotional loss or climate change, grief. Only if things go beyond (or there are family genes) then the body begins show signs of not being able to cope.It is now the disease sets in -raised BP or sugar etc.

Another thing is when you get the chronic diseases early in life you automatically are creating your genes which will be transferred to your child in a compromised way.So you are one in the chain of people.Hence in "Gita" the sacred hindu book it is said that each one of us is important and each one should strive to create goodness(read good genes).This is not so for infections.

Problem is solution lies with us.It would be so easy to pop some pills and get it over with.But there is no easy solution and we need to toil ourselves to bring results.Walk, run, exercise, control mind-desires,eat less, eat healthy...list is endless.Well some people do pop pills and what is the result ? Soon they are on injectables or pace-makers, or dialysis. There is no easy way.Thats life -there is really no free breakfast here. !

Infections on the other hand are far better.Generally occures for a short period of time, can pop some pills maybe at hospital for few days, more pills and you are done.Good as new-all genes intact.Imapct on health, body, genes is nil.

The impact on body of chronic diseases is more, long lasting, transfarable and depleting.Health becomes our focus and quality of life affected.Also pills become suddenly more important.And we become vulnerable.Steve Jobs tried homeopathy when diagnosed of liver ? cancer -out of frustration ?

A great spirit can fight all and chronic disease is no acception but I have still to see people who can keep their spirits up at such times. Health anxiety is pretty common and few can overcome.

The burden of chronic diseases is going to weigh heavily on the resources of govts of countries.It will affect productivity and per capita income.The healthcare costs are already spiralling and there is lack of good healthcare staff to say nothing of good doctors.These patients are going to advanced facilities when these illnesses will get complicated -all diabetics will need dialysis, stroke patients will need physiotherapy and skilled help, cancer will need follow -ups, investigations.

Homeopathy can be integrated into the healthcare system inorder to bring the costs down.It will also address the more serious problem of altering the genetic patterns that are getting formed.It influences the immune response of the body to trigger our bodys mechanism to set things right.After all conventional medicines only supress the illness and most diabetics on medications also land up for dialysis. Right ?

France has one of the best healthcare systems in the world-infact declared 1st by WHO and it has 40% of people using homeopathy.
