Natural medicine and herbs

Natural medicine and herbs: The human tendency to get rid of excess bodyweight with the use of medicines can only deteriorate the health of any healthy person. On the other, if natural medicine and herbs are used for achieving the result, then there are no side effects, which impair the mobility of any person. It is common to observe that prolonged use of antibiotics and steroids containing drugs depress body immune system to a large extent. This becomes so dangerous that minor illness can become life-threatening in such persons. On the contrary, use of the natural medicine and herbs, which contain lot of medicinal properties, eases the symptoms of illness and improves overall health slowly. Though the naturally occurring herbs do provide healing to a large number of diseases, the time taken for total recovery health is a bit lengthy when compared to synthetic drugs.

Citing this time lag, a number of doctors and other practitioners tend to make use of powerful drugs on patients often resulting in deadly side effects. Despite agencies like the FDA spend huge sums on determining the exact usefulness of synthetic drugs, most often
these drugs cause side effects in a large number of people. In contrast, natural medicine and herbs with their time-tested results prove their efficiency even under most difficult conditions. The administration of herbs by an experienced doctor most often provides dramatic results in patients suffering from serious life-threatening diseases.

Home remedies for ear infections, Ear wax removal home remedies
Cerumen glands secrete sticky liquid, which transforms to ear wax. Skin has lot of small glands whose primary work is to secrete a lot of substances. Sebaceous glands, for example, gives sebum, which in turn gives skin its "greasy" look. Microscopic glands also create sweat. Cerumen glands are found in the skin of the ear canals.

Ear wax, sticky stuff that it is, is great at trapping anything foreign that flies, enters, or is blown into the ear canals. Dirt, tiny particles of plant material, small insects, bacteria and so forth are immobilized by wax. Think of wax as the sticky stuff on a No Pest Strip. The primary purpose of ear wax is to protect your ear canal (as well as your ear drum) from such foreign materials. Ear canal skin moves (very slowly) out of the ear canal, carrying with it any wax and debris that are adherent to the skin. Most of the time, the ear canals are fully capable of self-cleaning in this manner.

Ear wax can cause hearing loss, pain, and cough. Hearing loss occurs when wax completely occludes (blocks) the ear canal. This prevents sound waves from easily reaching the ear drum, in exactly the same way that ear plugs (or a strategically-positioned finger) block sound. Even a small amount of wax, if wedged between the ear drum and the ear canal wall, can reduce the ability of the ear drum to conduct sound. Some people tend to form very hard wax, which can cause pain by putting pressure on sensitive ear canal walls. Now lets have a look at some of the home remedies for ear infections specially ear wax infections.

Ear wax removal home remedies

A famous type of Ear wax removal home remedies is vinegar-water-peroxide solution (1:1:2) that can be warmed to body temperature and applied to the ear canal to soften wax. A drop of baby oil can be placed in each ear canal on a regular basis (typically, once or twice per week) to soften hard, painful wax. People who have a history of middle ear infections, swimmer's ear, or a hole in the ear drum should NOT try these remedies, nor should they allow a physician to irrigate their ears, as such methods can lead to a painful and/or dangerous ear infection. As a rule, people with a history of any ear disease should go to an ENT for wax problems and not try treating the problem themselves.
 
Ayurvedic diabetes
04.26.05 (2:11 am)   [edit]
According to ayurveda, ayurvedic diabetes is a metabolic kapha type of disorder in which diminished functioning of agni leads to a tendency toward high blood sugar. (Ayurveda recognizes 24 forms of the disease commonly classified under Prameha - 4 are due to Vata dosha, 6 are due to Pitta dosha, and 10 are caused by Kapha dosha. The main causes of these diseases are fat, urine, and Kapha buildups due to foods, liquids, lifestyle and others.)

Ayurvedic practitioners attack ayurvedic diabetes using a multiprong approach. First, they address diet modification, eliminating sugar and simple carbohydrates, and emphasizing complex carbohydrates. Protein is limited, since excessive intake can damage the kidneys. Fat is also limited because there is often a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, making fat digestion difficult. Since many diabetics have autoantibodies, a cleansing program is instituted. Panchakarma is typically used for this purpose. This begins with herbal massages and an herbal steam sauna, followed by fasting to cleanse the body. This is followed by an herbal purge for the liver, pancreas, and spleen. Colon therapy is next, first to cleanse the digestive tract and then to reconstitute the system.

Ayurvedic practitioners also use several herbal preparations for ayurvedic diabetes. Exercise is another cornerstone of ayurvedic treatment of diabetes. Yoga and breathing exercises are traditionally used.
