A Case of Suppressed Skin Eruptions Leading to Asthma!

Asmita* was very happy when her trips to skin specialist bore fruit and her allergic rashes and cracked finger tips were healed after a course of about 2 months. She used to develop sudden rashes all over her body (no causative factor was found till then) and once the rash used to appear, her finger tips used to crack badly. The cracks used to itch and bleed when scratched. The rashes also itched profoundly and she was fed up. The skin specialist had given her a course of anti-allergic medication and some steroid application for her skin and finger tips. With all that she was a happy girl after 2 months and her skin appeared normal.

It was when she developed sudden wheezy chest after 5 to 6 months in the month of June, she approached me. Her breathing was subnormal and her chest had lots of wheezes heard on stethoscope. She was breathless and the attack was asthmatic! She did not have a family history of asthma, neither she had any history of similar attacks in past. But this attack terrified her and her family members.

Upon closer interrogation and case-taking, she revealed this history of suppressed skin eruptions. Upon observing closely, her eruptions truly had vanished but what this suppression gave her? An attack of asthma!

What happened exactly?

What was achieved by giving the medicines to suppress her allergic focus? Nothing but masking the eruptions and itching! The allergic focus was not driven away from the body but just kept in latent position inside the body. This focus was however redirected in worse way towards lungs. The asthma was thus brought on by suppressed skin eruptions. Asmita* was a victim of ill-treated skin lesions. The skin eruptions had vanished, leaving her in worse condition of wheezy chest and breathlessness.

What did she need?

She needed nothing but milder form of treatment that can alleviate her asthma attack and restore her well-being by expressing her earlier skin lesions. And homeopathy could just do this.

Her symptom complex comprised of following major points-

(1) excessive breathlessness and cough

(2) mucus expectoration on and off

(3) worse by exposure to cold, better by warmth

(4) worse by lying down

(5) wheezes prominent on left side of chest

(6) extreme fatigue and prostration

She was prescribed a dose of Antim arsenicum 30.

Within 2 days, wheezes were reduced and she felt better physically. Cough was there a bit and slight breathlessness. Again she was given another dose of same medicine and within next couple of days the attack subsided completely. But in next 2 days, she developed a bit of rash on her left elbow that itched. She was scared that now she will again develop the same kind of allergy that she once had. But after explaining the ins and outs of this medication and earlier one, she was ready to go for further treatment for complete cure of her allergic rashes.

She was then prescribed a dose of Sulphur 30. With that dose, there was slight aggravation in the rashes (according to her) on her both elbows after about a fortnight and there were seen 2-3 cracks on her right index and middle finger tips. There was however no severe itching but only mild itching.

This was nothing but expression of the latent Psora.

Her major symptom complex was—

(1) dry skin that cracks readily with itching

(2) small eruptions with burning sensation

(3) itching more at night

(4) bleeding on scratching

(5) skin problem worse in winter

(6) better by warmth

She was prescribed Petroleum 30.

After this, there was progressive reduction in the skin lesions and once when there was no further improvement, I needed to give Petroleum 200. After this medicine, she further progressed steadily and got cured of all her rashes soon!

One must understand that any medicine is like a broom to clean the room. If you clean the room with your broom and keep the dust and disagreeable things in the corner of the room (just like the suppressant medicine), the dust is going to spread again throughout the room. Homeopathic medicine acts as a responsible housewife, who throws all the litter away carefully not to make the room dirty again and keeps it tidied up for better health!

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Homeopathic Medicines!

When typically presented, ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that mainly affects sacro-iliac joints and spine. There is progressive stiffening and fusion of vertebrae.

The reason to consider this disease on priority is that with the increase in sedentary habit, this problem is increasing in younger population, right in their twenties and thirties. However, the reason behind this type of spondylitis is the histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27. Some Indian communities typically show high prevalence of this disease. Inflammatory foci in the vertebral column lead to fibrous deposits in the intervertebral discs leading to new bone formation (called syndesmophytes). This is the characteristic feature of this disease upon investigation.

Signs and Symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis-

(1) Recurrent episodes of low back pain and stiffness are the prime features.

(2) The pain may radiate to buttocks or thighs.

(3) There might be involvement of upper (thoracic and/or cervical) spine too but usually the lumbar and sacral stiffness occur earlier than upper spine involvement.

(4) If there is involvement of costo-vertebral joints, chest pain is the presenting symptom.

(5) Many patients develop tendonitis and fasciitis (plantar) over a period of time.

(6) Restriction of movements of vertebral column in all directions is visible.

(7) Characteristically, the pain is aggravated in the morning immediately after getting up and is better as the activity level increases during the day.

(8) Extra-articular features like iritis (inflammation of iris), pulmonary fibrosis occur is critical cases.

(9) Osteoporosis may be a sequel too.

Radiological investigation is must to diagnose a case of ankylosing spondylitis. But it is extremely crucial for a homeopath to collect the totality of symptoms and the characteristic symptoms, as there are high chances of labeling the common symptoms of the disease as characteristic and missing on to homeopathic remedial diagnosis.

Homeopathic medicines useful for ankylosing spondylitis—

As usual, homeopathic treatment must be based on individual case-history and not on the diagnosis of the case. The pain-relief should be the topmost agenda. The medicines like Bryonia, Rhus tox, Bellis perennis, Paris q, Lachnanthes, Calcarea phos, Kali carb, Hypericum, Ledum pal, Kali phos, Kalmia, Phytolacca, etc can be used for acute prescribing. It is absolutely must to know the physical characteristic symptoms, the aggravating and ameliorating factors, and associated symptoms of the patient to formulate acute prescription for him.

The family history of ankylosing spondylitis should trigger bells for a homeopath to take precautionary measures and preventing steps in any probable cases. This is one of the crucial points for a homeopath to be able to prevent the disease before it locates itself and creates further complications.

The syphilis and tubercular miasms dominates Ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, one can base their homeopathic prescription upon the miasmatic diagnosis too. The ability of a physician to take note of miasmatic disposition and prescribe accordingly is one of the key factors that can save the patient from developing complications.

Auxiliary Treatment—

(1) Exercise- This is the primary line of treatment for any type of spondylitis prior to medicine. Let’s make it clear that without physical exercise, no patient of ankylosing spondylitis can feel better in long run. Therefore, it is every homeopaths duty to educate the patient about certain exercises those will help them avert further damage to their spine. Some yoga postures are tremendously beneficial for these patients.

(2) Non-contact sports like swimming are highly effective too.

(3) Posture training is must. Avoiding bad postures while at work can contribute to a great extent in the patients as well as in those who want to permanently keep this disease at bay!

GALLSTONES & Homeopathic Treatment!

Gall stones have become quote a common problem these days, thanks to our changing lifestyles and sedentary habits! The gall stones may result from from previous attacks of cholecystitis; however, in many cases pigment stones are also found even without such bacterial infections.

The gall stones may be solitary or more commonly multiple. Solitary stone may attain bigger size that may be composed of cholesterol, a translucent material. Bile pigments are often deposited on its surface.

The multiple stones usually become faceted because of friction against one another. They usually contain alternating layers of cholesterol and bile pigments. They are usually the result of previous gall bladder infections.

Pigment stones containing biliverdin (often termed as biliary mud) are uncommon variety found more in biliary duct than in gall bladder.

Symptomatology-

(1) A “Fat Fertile Flatulent Female of Forty” is the usual sufferer of gall stones, though this is not a rule. Men are equally prone to gall stone disease, especially in this modern era.

Right eating habits and exercise routines help a great deal in preventing recurrence, along with constitutional homeopathic prescribing. Get moving today to avert gall stone disease!

Religious Views and Homeopathic Miasms!

Homeopathy is truly a fascinating journey. With a book of homeopathy in hand and with thoughts centered on this treatment module, you are ought to have a wonderful time! Study of miasms is one of the crucial points in the journey of homeopathy and if one wants to master this art of healing, one must know about miasms.

The basic human dispositions have been grouped in homeopathy under 4 basic miasms, namely- Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis, and Tubercular. All homeopaths try to fit the particular case in hand into one of these miasms and find an appropriate remedy for the patient that can alleviate his suffering completely. The study of miasms as the basic human constitutions is very intriguing and guides you through various aspects while at it.

This is an attempt to classify the religious behaviors of human beings into these four classical miasmatic types. A new perspective of miasmatic study--

How the religious dispositions of miasms will be--

Psora-

(1) Usually people who believe in some sort of incarnation of God with firm belief

(2) Despite having firm belief, they have quite liberal ideas of religion and can give leeway for other religious thoughts if they are really good.

(3) Believes religion is for overall benefit of humanity

(4) Will do his daily prayers but will not get stuck into that excessively.

(5) His religious prayers give him calmness and rationality of thoughts

(6) At times, some of his physical complaints may lead him to go higher in his pursuit of spiritual goals.

Sycosis-

(1) Fixed notions usually about his own religion

(2) Delves deep into the religious thoughts, at times making it his way of life

(3) At times, makes his family and children also follow his thoughts about the religion

(4) He will utilize his religious skills to teach others about genuine ways of life

(5) His thoughts are guided by his inner voice most of the times that he considers as the voice of God.

(6) Religious thoughts make him calm and also serious thinker in most cases

Syphilis-

(1) Fixed notions about religion to the extent of insanity at times

(2) Think they are the superior-most and believe that their thoughts only can help the world to conquer odds.

(3) Any thoughts against their religion or beliefs will not be tolerated by such people.

(4) Religious melancholy can develop in some people over trivial issues.

(5) Religious rituals are given highest importance by these people and consider that certain things must be followed if God has to fulfill their wishes.

(6) Violence-seekers due to pulling all their energies to establish their superiority

Tubercular-

(1) As a combination of Psora and syphilis, this miasm again thinks religion as the way of life

(2) There can be little exaggerated notions about religious beliefs but he is able to direct these energies positively for betterment of humanity

(3) Usually the members of society who will partake in many religious festivities and try to incorporate their ideas constructively for any work

(4) Enthusiastic lot of people who love religious pilgrimage while having fun of visiting new places.

(5) Some may be the people who pursue spiritual goals with utmost calm and rational mindset.

(6) A parent who will understand well, if his children adapt to new thoughts about religion and appreciate good views from any school of thought.

“Stress” – A Grave disease! And How homeopathy can help to relieve stress?

“Sit down and relax” seem to be the forgotten words in the dictionaries of thousands of people who are running behind the tasks all day. When we see the people (including ourselves) running behind their dreams so badly, we tend to feel, is this what we really dream of? Well the definition of happiness differs for everyone and if you believe the global surveys, the people who seem externally happy due to well-earned money and fame are internally unhappy because they have sacrificed so many things in the pursuit of material gains.

And when we are not happy, we may never succeed in establishing cordial relation with our body. The body, mind and spirit are the three poles on which “we” work efficiently. When one of the poles is unfixed, we tend to disharmonize ourselves. What to do? Those who believe firmly in the motivation of work and principles have something to say. Here are some of the points that we have summarized from the answers of experts in the field who can teach us to live happily. I am extremely lucky that these people have permitted me to utilize this information to spread across the world through the site. This is no doubt a separate entity altogether that requires thorough screening and cross checking with medical world and the world rotating around different health-sciences. We have done it for you.

I believe that even if only quarters of people who will read these points inculcate these regimes and points in their day to day life, we will have a better world to dwell in. Let me also clarify that these are not just the points related to one’s body. They are directed towards each pole of the trinity, that is, body, mind, and spirit.

Let’s see:

What do you want out of life?

According to experts on “life”, the foremost thing we should think of while starting this new regime is- what do we want out of life? Do we want money, do we want a happy family, do we want to be famous, do we want to have a career with a successful outcome, or do we want happiness? Well if you think these questions are weird, you might be right at the outset. As we all have different mindsets and different thinking capabilities, we ought to have our own perspectives about different things. One might be interested in earning, the other might be interested in having a good family life, and still another might want to have a great career. Nothing wrong in it obviously! But ask those who have attained one of these as per their interests and they will say, “Yeah, we are happy for what we gained; but still something is missing!” what does that mean?

Most of the times, it means that we want to have many things together. For example, ask the person who wants to have a flashing career whether it will be OK for him not to have a family life? In most cases, the answer will be “No! I need both!” Ask another person who is earning well if it is OK for him not to have a career that interests him and he has to do the 9-6 job for the next 30 years to come? The answer may be “Better if I have my own business in next few years and I ditch this boring yet high-paying job!” Haven’t you seen such cases around you or even in your house? You must have. The experts say this tendency to brood over what we have and don’t have is the highest cause of stress among us.

We feel it is the high demanding job or excess worries of family those make us unhappy. In fact, these feelings of inadequacies that we bear in our hearts for life make us more vulnerable to various maladies under the sun. Ask the heart patient and you will rarely get an answer that he is happy about his life. Pursuit of happiness is very easy, unduly complicated by us. The spiritual leaders kept telling us that work towards your goals without thinking of outcome. But we never paid heed to what they wanted to say. Only when the whole world is battling against “stress”, we have started realizing the fruitfulness of those wisdom quotes!

No, life is not over yet, not even for patients with cardiac problems. We can still evolve. Evolution is a continuous process and going a few steps behind in our life to understand what we are and what we want out of life for securing happiness can prove amazingly successful in driving away the stress.

There is absolutely no need to think that this will reduce your efficiency for work and you might relax more and become lazy. Even experts today believe that shedding the stress enhances work efficiency by leaps and bounds and working in a stress-free environment is definitely a boon. No wonder bigger and smaller companies across the world have started seminars on stress-free working regimes for their employees.

Looking at stress from a third’s man point of view, we can comprehend that it is the worst enemy of happiness. We certainly do not want stress to mar our day to day life and instill graver diseases in us. It is high time we concentrate upon the happiness as a whole and shed the materialistic point of view while living a fulfilling life.

Opt for Homeopathy:

Homeopathic system of medicine always aims at dealing with the person as a whole and not just the diseases. The action of homeopathic medicines is obvious on mental planes due to which many mental ailments can be cured. Stress is one of the important keywords in homeopathic dictionary that results in hoards of illnesses. With mild yet potent homeopathic medicines, one can handle stress and the ailments resulting from it impressively. Diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorders, depressions, and even cancers crop up due to stress. Why not go homeopathic way to allay the fears due to stress? You can enjoy a fruitful life with utmost happiness when you can conquer stress and related maladies.

Let’s go stress-free now!

Why are the doctors bent upon giving antibiotics?

When patients come to homeopaths, usually they come after a long battle with modern medicine. Here we must respect the fact that modern medicine has given us breakthrough results in cases of severe infections and terminal illnesses. We certainly have utter respect for it. But do we really need to suppress every expression of our body with heavy dosages? Why do we see almost every prescription (definitely barring some respectable ones) containing one or more antibiotics?

Well, here we understand that the basic principles upon which the allopathic and homeopathic systems of medicine are based do differ. But who will take care of the basic principle of the body? When the body gets deranged, certainly some mechanism is inbuilt in us that takes care of the derangement and repairs it on its own. What we need is to just assist in repair. Especially when we see the viral and other fevers treated with heavy doses of antibiotics, we feel ashamed of our medical system altogether. Don’t we know to diagnose the diseases or are we too lazy to look for the actual symptoms of the disease and just play safe by prescribing the drugs that mask the symptoms of the disease? What are we doing?

Being an allopath or homeopath is not the question here. Being a good and caring doctor is the question. Everyone knows that recurrent consumption of antibiotics reduce the body’s natural resistance capacity. Also we know that using the similar antibiotics recurrently reduce the power of those drugs and create a kind of resistance to them. This in turn makes the doctors to prescribe stronger and higher antibiotics so that our immune system is further suppressed under them.

Definitely it is agreeable to certain extent when the antibiotics are given in cases of severe infections. But to prescribe antibiotics in a non-complicated case of measles in a child seems horrific, when what the child needs is just a mild antipyretic, either allopathic or homeopathic.

Is the practice of prescribing antibiotics emerges from the heavy advertisement from the medical representatives about their newly launched products? Are the pharmaceutical companies are blooming and thriving with this notorious practice? The practices seem to be rampant especially in rural set ups. The nasty practices are endangering the lives of thousands of patients who actually need much milder forms of treatments to allay their maladies.

Well, mass education and awareness among the public is one issue. But what we need at the moment is awareness among medical circles. Keeping our prides as allopaths or homeopaths aside, we need to inculcate the values of medical practice and keep patients at the highest priority. Monetary gains should follow ethical practice. Someone is needed to teach us values in medical practice now. If Dhanwantari (God of medicine according to Hindu literature) is watching from heavens, he must be scared to come down to earth due to heavy mess these high potency drugs have created on this earth?

We really need to voice out about our safety and security in medical realms!

Stay Young with Homeopathy and Exercise!

Every one wants a flawless skin, hour-glass figure, and a young-looking face! Who doesn’t envy the flawless beauties walking the ramp? But we know that these ramp models work really hard in achieving what we envy for and moreover the great plastic surgeons are always at their help! I am sure we are discussing here how to stay young without the aid of some external means and still enjoy the compliments!

Is it possible?

Well, firstly ageing is an unavoidable phenomenon and we are going towards old age with each passing day. No, this is not a negative comment. It is the fact and we have to accept it. Rather I would say with its acceptance, you cross the initial battle that goes on within your mind. Accept it and then conquer it “Naturally”! Yes, it is important because if we use artificial agents and ingredients, their effect is certainly not going to last lifetime and in many cases we have seen that the effects of Botox and related things are literally opposite as one grows old.

So, let’s see how to remain young and fit till breath leaves us!

(1) Avoid harsh medication-

When doctors rampantly prescribe antibiotics and steroids to young population, sensible doctors always worry how this young generation is going to face the dangers lurking in the world as they grow old? How will they develop natural immunity to conquer odds? One should also avoid recurrent pain killer drugs (analgesics) to kill any sort of pain, be it headaches or backache. Long term effects of these medicines taken frequently are deleterious to your health. With passing time, the same medicine does not work, as the body develops a kind of resistance and you need to take higher and higher dosages, further deteriorating natural resistance. You are the builder of your destiny, as regards your body and mind. The natural forms of medicines including homeopathic medicines, Ayurvedic medicines, and some herbal medicines help one restore the lost resistance and this builds up natural immunity. It is a known fact that there are no side effects from these medications when taken under expert supervision and so should be sought for.

(2) Protect your skin-

Skin is usually the first organ that depicts the signs of old age. The skin starts getting folds, wrinkles, etc and even some people develop various types of discolorations and pigmentations on skin, especially face. Can we avoid them? To some extent yes! As we said, avoiding harsh medicines also helps one conquer certain pigmentation and sagging of skin. Also one needs protection from sun rays and apt moisturizing.

For facial blemishes, Homeopathy plays a great role. Apart from the constitutional medicines, certain remedies in low dosages help one protect their skin and steer clear of blemishes. The homeopathic medicines like Berberis AQ, Carbo veg, Iodum, Asterias rubens, Sepia, etc help in clearing the skin that may be affected by acne, scars, blemishes, blackheads, and other pigmentation due to hormonal variations. The local applications like Witch Hazel are literally wonderful in protecting one’s facial skin from bad effects of sun rays and avoid blemishes and even wrinkles.

(3) Avoiding being fat-

Yes, this is one of the prime pre-requisites for staying young. More the fat, more the older look you get. But how to achieve it without using the so-called master preparations available in the market? The diet pills market is losing its popularity after the initial outburst because people are getting acquainted with the harmful effects of certain ingredients like caffeine in these pills. And anyway, these pills have temporary results till you use them. Firstly let’s make it clear in our minds that if you are thinking that anything (any medicine, even homeopathic) is going to replace your planned diet and exercise regimen and make you slimmer, you are being misguided.

But there are certainly some natural homeopathic remedies that can aid in reducing your excess fat when coupled with planned diet and exercise regime. However, even these remedies like Phytolacca berry or Fucus vesiculosus etc have to be coupled with constitutional medicine to be of help in long run. Always seek professional help before you start any type of regimen.

Regular exercise is MUST. Seek professional guidance as to what kind of exercise suits you the best and start without any delay or excuse. Exercising releases many feel-good hormones and enzymes to make you healthier. The natural anti-oxidants released during exercise really help you stay young far better than chewing anti-oxidant tablets every night.

Apart from these--

• Remember to think about all the positive things in your life before you go to bed.
• Do not think bad about/for anyone
• Stop criticizing for the sake of it; remember it affects your health more than you sense
