I always like to come up with the common problems what most of them experience,or request and easy and quick remedy for those.So this time i would like to write somethings regarding the pregnancy and simple tips to conceive early,and for some problem what a lady faces in early pregnancy.Pregnancy is the most exciting as well as panic experience what the women experiences in their life time.<br />
A women conceives when the fertilization takes place.The fertilization takes place when a healthy egg is united with a healthy active sperm.This condition is called as fertilization.This main takes place during the fertile period of the cycle.Normally women have a regular menstrual cycle of 30- 35 days.Mid of this phase say if the cycle is of 28 days then 14 day is considered as the most fertile period.So the couple who are planning for kids are supposed to unite during the fertile period.Normally 3-4 days before ovulation and after ovulation is the ideal time .i.e- 10th to 20th day of the cycle.<br />
<br />
Ideal position for making love while planning:-<br />
--------------------------------------<br />
Normal any position which both of the partners feel comfortable is considered as an ideal position.But the supine position with the male on the top and female on the bottom is considered as the best as it aids the semen to entre into the uterine cavity thro' the OS.Its even better if the female places a pillow to elevate her hip to aid further easy tract for the sperms to swim directly.If you see the anatomical position of the uterus thro' side ways in simple words i say it as 'c 'roughly.Its bent in shape , hence the pillow aids the sperms to swim well as the semen can enter easily.<br />
<br />
The lady must retain the semen for at least 20-30 mins as it can slide into the uterine cavity thro'the vaginal tract.Then she may wash it and keep it clean.<br />
<br />
Its believed according to Ayurveda classics one who wishes to carry a female baby must lie to the left side after making love and for a baby boy towards her right side .<br />
<br />
Early signs of pregnancy:-<br />
----------------------<br />
-Missed periods<br />
-Morning sickness<br />
-Nausea<br />
-V omitting<br />
-Loss of taste<br />

-Mild head ache <br />
-Mood swings[Due to hormonal changes]<br />

<br />

-Body hair increases and darkens even the unwanted hairs like facial and around the navel region thickens and increases<br />
-Mild cramps<br />
-back ache<br />

<br />
Remedies for morning sickness:-<br />
----------------------------<br />
-As the lady cannot eat its better to consume small meals in every 2-3 hrs.<br />
-Just before getting up from the bed try eating some biscuits or dry crackers and then getting up after 5 mins .this will help to reduce the nauseating sensation to a greater extent.<br />
-Keep drinking water frequently as if there is vomiting this may lead to dehydration hence keep yourself hydrated.<br />
-Try drinking kashayam prepared out of crushed coriander seeds daily.<br />
-Crush the coriander seeds add cane sugar and dissolve and keep it for 3 hrs and then have sip of this water every now and then.<br />
-Try deviation your mind .Hear to some good music,watch some nice movies or read some good books or so.<br />
-Try having small snacks or fruits in every 2 hrs.As taking small quantity every 2hrs reduces the vomiting sensation and reduce the stomach movements.Better to take small meals every 2hrs than 3 heavy meals.<br />
-Try having balanced diet as its very necessary for the growth of the baby.<br />
<br />
Certain food items to avoid during pregnancy:-<br />
---------------------------------------<br />
-Fast foods<br />
-Coffee ,tea or any other caffeine drinks<br />
-Spicy food<br />
-Oily or excessive fatty food<br />

<br />
No smoking or drinking alcohol its strictly prohibited during the course of pregnancy as it causes congenital deformities and even retardation in the new born.the baby may be still born also.<br />
<br />
- Rest is very much essential in the first 12-15 weeks of pregnancy.<br />
-Indulge in plenty of liquid diet and keep your self hydrated.<br />

Immunity is the natural way by which our body protects us from natural ailments or diseases. Our body has immune system by the help of which our body can fight against antigens which was previously recognized by the defense mechanism. This is mainly done by the antibodies. There are certain primary detector cells which recognizes the antigens just when they enter into our body and produces antibodies to protect our body against them. The bodies immune system thus acts like a key in the maintenance of good physical health.<br />
A nutritious balanced diet ,healthy life style,clean and clear healthy environment,genetics all of these factors directly helps in building up the immune system.<br />
The immune system which is like an army protecting and guarding our body is based on the lymphatic system and the white blood cells of the body[blood stream]. There are many other organs which also contribute like spleen,skin,respiratory,digestive etc. The lymphatic system comprises of the various regions where in lymph nodes are located i.e, network of lymph nodes and vessels which helps in returning fluids from inter cellular spaces to the actual blood stream which then circulates all over the body. The lymph node,thymus gland and spleen are the constituents of lymphatic system. This lymphatic system produces lymphocytes it further engulfs or kills the foreign particles,cancerous cells or microbes. Thus their presence in the blood stream is as special indication.<br />
There are 2 types of lymphocytes-<br />
1.T- lymphocytes [produces by thymus glands]<br />
2.B- lymphocytes [ produces by the spleen ]<br />
<br />
The white blood cells found in the blood stream like phagocytes and and lymphocytes destroys the invading bacterias and removes the dead or unwanted cells and tissues which cause damage.<br />
<br />
Signs of low immunity :-<br />

methods to gain weightMy todays topic is a request by a friend.Feel free to ask for the topics of your choice and i'll be happy to post them.Well many of the indivisuals are facing the problem of underweight.due to many reasons one may not gain weight and by eating or following same procedures the other may easily gain weight.There are various reason for this.<br /><br />Causes:<br />---------<br />1.Inheritance:<br />------------<br />It may be due to the genes.Parents or one of the parent has the nature of not gaining weight even though the person involves in any type of food habbits or regimen.So this will be inherited by the offspring also.<br /><br />2.Absorption:<br />------------<br />There may be some problem because of which the persons intestine may not be able to absorb the essential materials or end products of digestion which inturn results in malnurishment thus leading to underweight.<br /><br />3.Digestive problems:<br />-----------------<br />The indivisual may not be in the state of having enough food due to some causes like for eg- some get indigestion if they have even a little extra food,or may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome,or colonitis or something like that.The person may not be involving with correct habbits or exercises to get the food digested well , assimilated and the good part of the end product of digestion to be absorbed to meet the body needs.<br /><br />4.Knowledge:<br />-----------<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Rhxxmfvq8II/AAAAAAAABbo/le30pYOVbjE/s1600-h/carbohydrates2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Rhxxmfvq8II/AAAAAAAABbo/le30pYOVbjE/s400/carbohydrates2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052037788173267074" /></a><br /><br />The person may be unaware about the proper quantity or proportion of various component of food what he has to consume.<br />Like the vegetables which he has to take about half the portion of his meal,then fats and carbs together about 1/4 part odf his diet,protiens and vitamins to 1/4 th part of his meal.thus it goes on.We generally say this as stomach may be divided to 3 parts and - 1/3rd of it must be filled with solid food particals ,<br /> - another 1/3 rd must be filled with liquid particals <br /> - last 1/3 rd must be left vacant for the air to circulate and aid the digestion.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Rhxxh_vq8HI/AAAAAAAABbg/5SLDuJVm8nQ/s1600-h/balanced_diet.jpg"><img

helathy.This is ok.That can be called as his inborn constitution which i will be discussing in my future posts.<br /><br />Methods:<br />---------<br />Now you might have already tried many home

ways to helathy livingHello every one.Well today i will be dealing with simple alteration in our daily regimens to be followed which will improve the health and the bestove longivity of life...<br /><br /><br />Water:-[Jala]<br />-------<br />-Well most of us will be having the habbit of drinking water.Thi water is a medicine in itself.It has several healing property.According to Ayurveda About a litre of sukhoshan jala which means boiled and cooled water should be consumed early mornings just after you get up from the bed.Clean your mouth and drink atleast 1/2 -1 litre of water at a strech .this will neutralise the increased gastric secretions,also helps in constipation and helps in easy evacuation of the stools.<br /><br />- People suffering from gastritise and those with the problem of respiratory tract allergies etc should drink stomach full of water and then induce vomiting .This helps in neutralising acid base balance in the stomach mucosa in case of acidity and in case of allegic cough and cold removes the exessive mucosa secretion which might inturn lead to congestion in the chest or reduced appitite .<br /><br />-Frequent consumption of water in small amount helps in restoring and regulating the water and salt balance in the body ,also heeps the skin hydrated.Skin which covers whole body is responsible for the toch sensation.Hence it maintains the skin moist .Thus acts as a natural moisturiser.<br /><br />-By consuming adequate amount of watewr it helps in maintaing good appitite by regulating the adequate scretion of digestive juices.<br /><br />-It also prevents wrinkling of skin.Hence prevents the aging process and even looks.<br /><br />-Water helps in evacuating the toxins out of the body in form of urine.Hence one with frequent urinary tract infection and ,burning micturation problem ,Piles etc should drink more amount of liquid ,mainly water.<br /><br /><br />Astringent taste;-[Kashaya Rasa]<br />--------------<br />This astringent taste as in the tender leaves of mango,guava,bhrami etc is very much required for every one.Its most useful in diabetic patient.<br />-It cleanses the tough and prevents the bad breath problem,<br />-cleanses oral cavity,inproves taste perception by clearing the debries from the surface of tongue where in the tastebuds are located..<br />-Inproves digestion and appitite.<br />-Helpful in cleansing the blood and keeps it thin<br />-prevents skin infections and rashes.,pimples etc.<br />-This is useful in maintaining good quality of teeth and gums .Hence in ancient days people used the twigs of neem tree or mango terr to brush thier teethWhich is rich in kashaya rasa.<br />-It increases vata if taken in large amount.-When one is suffering from indigestion or feven.He is adviced to take light diet with kashaya rasa in it.This is the patya.<br /> eg-tartiness in neemleaves ,tender mango or gauva leaves etc<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8dk0PmkPI/AAAAAAAABTs/ifHWljkAHnU/s1600-h/neem.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

/>-----------<br />-Consuming sweets in limited amount and at appropriate time is very benificial.<br />It is said in ayurveda that sweet is a taste which shoud be taken at the begining of a meal.this is very true because at that time the blood glucose level wil be very low,the gastic secretions will be high ,acicity is more.So by consuming sweet in a small quantity it reduces the excessive acidity of the stomach mucosa .If you start with spicy food then it may lead to corrosive action over the stomach mucosa[i.e inner layer or lining of stomach walls.]<br />-Also helps a lot in gastric problems,acidity etc.Sweet does not mean only sweet dishes it could be a tsp of sugar,or even starting a meal with only rice and ghee added...etc.<br />-Excessive intake of sweets reduces the appitite,delays digestion,increases fat ,leads to intestinal worms etc..<br />-Eg- as i sugar.jaggery,sweetness of mango atc.<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8dXkPmkOI/AAAAAAAABTk/52BTSPPkbps/s1600-h/mangoes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8dXkPmkOI/AAAAAAAABTk/52BTSPPkbps/s400/mangoes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039278798754189538" /></a><br /><br /><br />Sour taste:-[Amla Rasa]<br />--------<br />- This is very benificial if taken in small amount and at appropriate time.<br />-This increases the secretion of saliva in the mouth which aids digestion.A small part of digestion of food starts right in the oral cavity.This is aided by saliva which helps in making bolus that is blends with the food particles during grinding process by the teeth.<br /> A simple eg for this is just by looking at a raw mango or lemon or just tinking about it our mouth starts to water.<br />-Most of the citrus fruits are rich source of calcium and vitamin -C<br />-Helps in bone building<br />-Keeps teeth strong<br />-Increses digest juice secretion<br />-helps in fat digestion<br />-excessive intake of amla rasa that is sour taste vitiates the blood.<br />-Increases pitta in the body<br />-Increases burning sensatiions , increases gastic level,acidity etc.<br />-Should be taken in the niddle of the meals to aid the digestion of fatty food particles<br />-Hence should be taken in small amount only.<br />eg- as in raw mango, lemon,tamarind etc.<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8d4UPmkQI/AAAAAAAABT0/O2rFyTzPfaA/s1600-h/Tamarind.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8d4UPmkQI/AAAAAAAABT0/O2rFyTzPfaA/s400/Tamarind.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039279361394905346" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Bitter taste:-[Katu Rasa]<br />----------------------<br />-This is taste which cuts down and burns the unwanted fat<br />-Cleanses the toungue<br />-Helps to kill bad breath<br />-Increases the appitite<br />-Helpful in diabetis and even in skin diseses.Mainly when one has fever then he must go for kashaya rasa and katurasa included in thier diet for esay cure and aid digestion and improve the taste in the mouth.<br />-helpful in indigestion.<br />-This should not be taken in large quantity.It must be atken in minimal quantity.Daaily inatke of curry leaves and coriander leaves in form of seasoning to curries serves the purpose.Hence i say that Indian way of cooking is the best way which included all the shad rasa's[6 varities of taste]<br />-If taken in large amount it leads to dryness /rukshatha in the body, Increases Vata dosha in the body,And causes constipation also...<br />egs- bitter as in bittergaurd,neem leaves<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8c50PmkMI/AAAAAAAABTU/mQcY3ZdPIJ4/s1600-h/bittermelon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039278287653081282" /></a><br /><br />Hot or spicy taste:-[Thiktha rasa]<br />----------------------------<br />This is a rasa which should be moderately taken.<br />-It also helps digestion of havey food<br />-Increases gastric secretion,and acidic level in the gastrium<br />-increases the taste perception<br />-Helps to reduce khapa<br />-Increases the savila secretion but not as sour taste<br />-Clears throat<br />-Should not be taken in greater amount as it harms tha walls of stomach by increasing the acidic levels.<br />-Harmful in acitidy problems as it further increases..<br />-VItiates pitta and increases it<br />-Causes burning sensation in gastrium/stomach and chest region<br />-Causes constipation<br />- Eg;-Spicy as in ginger ,pepper[these are good but when taken in right amount]<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/Re8dIUPmkNI/AAAAAAAABTc/Yw4lu2TFQhU/s1600-h/ginger.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

/></a><br /><br /><br />Salty taste:-[Lavana rasa]<br />----------------------<br />-This is another rasa which sould be taken in minimal quantity<br />-It aids digestion<br />-Helps in maintaining acid base balance when taken in right amount<br />-cleanses toungue and oral cavities.Strenthens the teeth and gums,prevents cavity formation when brushed using salts<br />-liquifies the khapa,but increases when taken in greater amount.<br /><br /><br />SO these are about the day to day life indulgence of food and thier tastes.There are many more to come...Dr. Soumya

is the most comman problem what most of the people of thiois genetration suffer from.SO i thought of writting about this comman problem today.<br /><br />Sinus defination:-<br />---------------<br />Sinuses are nothing but an empty space or a cavity in general.Sinus what we commanly use related to headaches are the cavities in the facial bones .<br /><br />Sinuistis:<br />---------<br />Now what is sinusitis? <br />Itis = any infectious condition is reperesented as itis<br />Sinusitis is the condition where in these airpockects are infected and get inflammed causing pain in that perticular area.<br />Generally they will show positional head aches.Which means just when you change the position i.e even if you bend your head the headaches aggravates or flares up.<br /><br />Description:<br />----------<br />Sinus can be simply described as small aircavities or pockets with a duct and a opening into nasal cavities.<br />Basically they are paired.There are four pairs of sinuses in the bones of teh face.<br /><br />1) Frontal Sinus:<br />--------------<br />-Located just below the eyebrows and at teh starting of the nose.<br />-When the frontal sinus gets effected there will be head ache in both the sides of the fore head called temples of the head.<br /><br />2)Maxillary Sinus:<br />---------------<br />-They are also 2 in number and located just below the cheek and on either sides of the nose.<br />-Here there will be pain and tenderness in the cheek area and one will feel the headache and that ache will be felt all over the face and upper jaw.<br /><br /> 3)Ethamoidal Sinus:<br />------------------<br />-They are 2 in number<br />-Located behind the eyes.<br />-The headche causes by these sinus will mimic those caused due to vision problems[Refractive errors like long or short sightedness]<br />-Here you can also observe post-nasal drip that is,the mucus will pass through the back of your mouth that is it slides down the throat.<br /><br />4)Sphenoidal sinus:<br />----------------<br />-They are also 2 in number.<br />-Located behind the ethamoidal sinus.Here one will feel the pain deep behind the eys.Heaviness of the eyes.<br /><br />All the sinuses have a body just like a pouch then neck andduct with a outlet opening to the nasal cavities.They are line with a smooth surface of mucosa[inner most smooth layer] similar to that of the nasal cavity.They also have tiny hair called cilia.This helps in trapping dust and other foreign particals from entering airpassages.The dust and other particles are traped and then pushed with mucous to the nasal cavity and then thrown out.This is the normal diffence mechanism of the body.When they get infected and swollen the outflow of the entrapped particles remains within causing painful condition.<br /><br /><br />Symptoms:<br />---------<br />-Head ache which are mainly positional<br />-Tenderness in the infected sinus are<br />-occasionally discolouration near the tender sinuses<br />-applying presuure and massages in those regeions[Increases the blood supply to that area]<br />-The headaches here subsides by sleeping,taking hot substances,applying hot pads over the tender sinuses<br />-Usually accompanied with comman cold or other respiratory infections,cough etc.<br />-Bad breath<br />-Nasal congestions <br /><br />Causes:<br />-------<br />-Most of the time DNS[deviated nasal septum=Cruked nose bridge] <br />-Repeted respiratory tract infection<br />-Allergic rhinitis<br />-Allergic conditions.<br />All of tehse contribute to the occurance of sinusitis.<br /><br />Tests by which its identified or diagnosed:<br />-----------------------------------<br />-Sinus transillumination tests<br />-Simple test like tapping over the sinus, there will be tenderness <br />-X-Rays<br />-CT scans.<br /><br />Home remedies:<br />_______________<br />-Mainly ocurs when one exposes to breezy wind ,cold weather,Consumes chilled food items etc.<br />-Care must be taken to avoid cold and other respiratory infections.<br />-Eat or drink evrything which is hot .This will give a bit of releif and prevent from further damage<br />-Salt water gargling i.e with rock salt dissolevd in luke warm water and gargling must be done atleast 2-3 time per day.This will act as disinfectent,remove fowl smell and open up and cleanse the passage by causing counter irritation<br />-consuming herbs like rosemarry,thyme then ginger and horseraddish is beneficial.<br />-Keep yourself warm covered with warm clothes<br />-Dhooma pana with turmeric is the best ayurvedic treatment for this.Method to be done is as follows:-<br /> Take a burning charcoal and add turmeric dries roots to it and blow wind this will make turmeric to emmit smoke when burnt.Inhake this fumes<br />Or else Simply burn the turmeric in gas and take the fumes.This can be supplimented with turmeric powder also.<br /><br />-Instilling one drop of Anuthailam each to each nostril daily early morning or late evenings prevents the occurance of sinusitis.Also a good medicine for all types of head ache.But befor instillation.place this in hot water for about 30 sec then apply<br /><br />-Take vapours using eucalyptus oil of about 3-4 drops in a vessel containing boiling hot water and covering yourself and vessel below so that the steam vapours donot escape.This relieves teh nasal congestion and any block, clears teh passage and helps in out flow of trapped particles in sinus.<br /><br />-Intake of chitrakarista 3tsp 3 times a day with a drop of honey stired each time,Septiline ds[himalaya company]-2 tablets a day<br /><br />-Avoid fried foods,fat and heavy foods,curds during the process.<br /><br />-Drink hot water sip by sip very oftenDr. Soumya

hints to control kidney stones or stones related to urinary tract.This is one of the comman complaint what most of the people face in present days.There are many causes for this problem of stones.There are various varities of stones.They may be uric acid crystals,calcium oxalate crystals,Cystine stones and many more varities of stones.The problem of urinary calculi is more comman in males than in females.The ratio is 3:1.<br /><br />Sizes:-<br />_______<br />The urinary stones are of different sizes and shapes.They may be samll as sand or large as a marble.They may have smooth surface or a cutting edge and rough.The small stones of the size of about-4-5 cmm pass of easily and requires no medication.They may even remain unidentified of a long time.But those larger and with irregular surface often causses pain when they dislocate from its position ,and when thrown out of the body.<br /><br />Causes and measures for thier prevention:<br />_____________________________________________<br />-First and most comman cause is reduced intake of water.Most of us do not take enough amount of water.An healthy indivisual should consume atleast 2-3 litres of water in a day.So this should be the first step to be taken to avoid the reccurance and even as a prevention for urinary stones.One who are already facing the problem i advice them to increase the volume of water intake to atleast 2-3 times from before.<br /><br />-IF one with holds the urge of urination and retains it in the bladder for long time in due course it will result in the formation of Calculi[stone].This may be due to work or circumstances.This is a bad habbit and causes various other problems like pain in the lower abdomen,infections of urinary tract,headache etc.Hence never try to with hold the urge of micturation for too long.<br /><br />-<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/RZ2y5u7QT-I/AAAAAAAAA6c/HQv2m1ZjfGs/s1600-h/cucumber.jpg"><img

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016362264879452130" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Next consuming execcive salt and mineral rich diet.Lemme tell you excess of anything is always harmful.So reduce intake of such food articles.Take a balanced diet.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/RZ2zo-7QT_I/AAAAAAAAA6k/XJBQr6aLVpM/s1600-h/green-leafy.jpg"><img

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016363076628271090" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Execive intake of green leafy vegetables which are rich sources of calcium and many otherminerals and salt is not advisable,Cabbage must be avoided as much as possible.Even cucumber should not be taken too much.Once in 10-15 days is ok.<br /><br />-<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/RZ2yse7QT9I/AAAAAAAAA6U/2PHxQSd4nQM/s1600-h/barley.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

take excessive fluids in his diet,barley water is a very good medicine.<br /><br />-Following a sedentary life style is also a cause for the urinary calculi<br /><br />-The risk increases in those who comsume lots of legumes and pulses and also those who take it very often.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/RZ2ybe7QT8I/AAAAAAAAA6M/ELpLdG86Bvw/s1600-h/113112254_f4a4d07efc_m.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

extracted from the stem of banana plant is the best medicine.It crushed the stones and removes it out from the tract and eliminates it out from the body.The reason is its rich in fibers and has got a medicinal property to crush the stones.<br />The stem of banana plant taken in any form is very helpful in this case..Even the juice from the roots of banana plant is beneficial<br />- consuming banana daily also acts as a preventive measure.<br /><br />-Even the atmospheric conditiond contribute to the formation of stones.Eg- living in tropical regions,i.e-where the temperature is very high there the concentration of uric acid increases and exessive sweat leads to reduction of water levels in the body.If the person does'nt take enough water it will leads to stones formation in the urinary tract.<br /><br />-People working in mines are much prone to such problems.<br /><br />-People working in office with AC will naturally tend to sweat less and inturn lead to reduced intake of water which also leads to this problem again.<br /><br />-Exessive intake of spicy food and sodium rich food is also a cause for this<br /><br />- intake of execess of salt in the diet is also harmful.<br /><br />-Avoid execcive intake of non vegetarian food ,spicy food and sour tastes in food.<br />-There is an execellent medicine in ayurveda for this problem.Dr. Soumya

/>Cause:<br />_________<br />There are basically 5 types of vata's as per ayurveda.All 5 have different functions in different parts of the body.Thus when there are maintained in a state of equlibrium the body will function properly.But when this balance is lost not only the vata but also the pitta and khapa it leads to ill health or other problems in the body.<br />In this condition apaana vayu is effected.This has the role in lower half of the body basically.Expulsion of the wastes is done by apana vayu.Not only this even delivery of a baby all other important functions are cariied away by this variety of vata.Here urdvagathi of vayu takes place leading to pain in the groin region and also uneasiness in the lower abdomen region.So main intention of our treatment is towards correction of apana vayu.<br /><br /><br />Remedies:<br />_________<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RkVxhSsOmOs/RYHJeyt86zI/AAAAAAAAAM4/umF0IcdxGtc/s1600-h/200px-Milk_l_de.jpg"><img style="float:left;

We can mix it with milk if the skin is very sensitive or else simple water will also do to make a paste for easy cleansing.This acts as avery good face pack to impove the glow in your skin and also reduces the scars and marks of old pimples.Only external treatment wont help in such cases .You need to take some medicine internally for a better result and to avoid the reccurance<br />-I also recommend you to eat drygrapes soaked overnight in water or even milk.This impoves your heamoglobin count,also brings a glow to your skin.It also helps for teh constipation also.<br /><br />-Intake of neem juice of about 1tsp daily is also a good medicine.This should be done empty stomach and only after 30 min any kind of food or water can be taken.<br /><br />-I suggest you to go for some internal medication along with this if you have achne problem for more than 6 months.Dr. Soumya Bhathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10501438863705710702noreply@blogger.com3
