Migraine Treatment in Homeopathy   Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily perceptions, severe headaches, and nausea. Migraine headache is a neurological condition more common to women than to men. The typical migraine headache is unilateral (affecting one half of the head) and pulsating, lasting from 4 to 72 hours; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), and phonophobia (increased sensitivity to sound). What Causes Migrain? Cause of migraine headache is unknown; The cause of migraine headache is unknown; the most common theory is a disorder of the serotonergic control system, which says, the pain thought to be linked with the drop of level of serotonin (chemical in the brain) leading to the dilatation and inflammation of blood vessels.It has a strong inheritance link associated with it and seems to run in families. Signs and symptoms The signs and symptoms of migraine vary among patients. Therefore, what a patient experiences before, during and after an attack cannot be defined exactly. The four phases of a migraine attack listed below are common but not necessarily experienced by all migraine sufferer. 1. The prodrome, which occurs hours or days before the headache. 2. The aura, which immediately precedes the headache. 3. The pain phase, also known as headache phase. 4. The postdrome The typical migraine headache is unilateral, throbbing, and moderate to severe and can be aggravated by physical activity. Not all these features are necessary. The pain may be bilateral at the onset or start on one side and become generalized, and usually it alternates sides from one attack to the next. The onset is usually gradual. The pain may also be associated with – vomiting and nausea; sensitivity to light and sound, fatigue, numbness and tingling. What Triggers Migraine? A migraine trigger is any factor that, on exposure or withdrawal, leads to the development of an acute migraine headache. Triggers may be categorized as behavioral, environmental, infectious, dietary, chemical, or hormonal. In the medical literature, these factors are known as ‘precipitants.They include foods containing MSG (monosodium glutamate this is a taste additive that is often found in Chinese food preparation), pickles, fermented foods, nuts, chocolate, and red wine and dairy products. Homeopathic Treatment Homeopathy cures migrain permanently. But it is a chronic disorder and may take few months to get cured. Even when the medicine is properly selected and working in the right direction, the headaches are not going to disappear in one go. Initially one will see a reduction in the severity and the frequency of the headaches. This gradually over a period of time would lead to the complete cure.

Homeopathy For Hair Problems   Hair fall is one of the commonest symptoms with which patients present to us. Sometimes it is an associated symptom of some other major disease symptom or it is the disease per say.Age limit is decreasing sadly day by day for hair problems. Earlier hair troubles usually used to start during mid thirties, but today many teenage girls and boys complain of some or the other hair problems. The major complaints about hair are hair fall, dandruff, alopecia aerata, premature graying of hair, brittleness of hair, split ends, dry scaly scalp etc. Factors important to consider before one starts hair treatment homeopathically- (1) Root cause- In most cases of hair fall, some or the other cause can be traced, given the patient gives apt history to his doctor. The cause can be physical like some intermittent fever that could be traced back, child-birth, lactational phase, some chronic illness, some drug abuse, excess alcoholism, bad hygiene, some hormone treatment, etc. The importance of telling this is that, unless one knows the cause, complete hair treatment cannot be undertaken. And it is also important to note that if the causative factor turns into maintaining cause (like for example, in case of bad hygiene), no treatment can be of help. Depending upon the cause, apt homeopathic medicine and its dosage can be chosen, but in case of external cause, it has to be nullified before starting treatment. (2) Internal factors- This is what is called as constitutional factor in homeopathy. Every individual is born with certain traits. Those traits need be identified and treated according to the physical characteristic and mental characteristic symptoms of the patient. It is imperative to ask questions right from the childhood of the patient to identify an unknown cause that may be the cause sometimes.. (3) Hereditary factor- One of the commonest questions some patients ask is- “My Dad is a bald guy and he developed baldness in his mid-forties. Do I still have a chance not to develop baldness at such a young age with your treatment?” Important question indeed. Definitely certain hereditary or genetic factors play a crucial role in hair growth and maintenance. We often see nice long hair in a girl whose mother also has thick and shiny hair. Obviously the opposite is also true. The rule of thumb in such cases is that, if the homeopathic treatment is started immediately after you notice the start of developing baldness, better are the results. There have been cases of baldness successfully treated with homeopathy in middle age too, but such cases are few and we must acknowledge that. Start your treatment early and you certainly have a chance to have thick hair in your middle age when your Dad was a bald guy! – Prevent hair loss, hair care Most people think about preventing hair loss only after they have lost a lot of it. But if you start early (like when you still have a head full of hair) it works out a lot easier both emotionally and financially. In fact, the truth is – preventing hair loss is a simpler process than treating hair loss. Plainly put, it all boils down to some sensible hair care – if you take care to keep the hair you’ve got, you will be blessed with better looks and healthier hair. So here are a few things you can do to prevent your hair from falling: 1. Follow a healthy lifestyle, 2. Take care of your hair, 3. Avoid things bad for your hair, and 4. Adopt simple Home treatments. 1. Follow a Healthy Lifestyle Hair, like your skin and your nail, is often a barometer of general health. If you are healthy, your hair will probably look good. And if your hair is falling, it could be a sign of possible health problems. So everything you do for good health also applies to hair: eat your fruits and vegetables (Vitamin B, Iron, Calcium and Zinc have especially been linked to healthy hair); always consume a protein-rich diet (hair is made of proteins), and drink adequate water. 2. Take care of your hair Dirty hair is more likely to get infected and more likely to fall – so keep your hair clean. Buy good-quality shampoo and hair products (in the long run this is cheaper than treating hair that is already half gone). When you shampoo your hair, concentrate on the scalp and hair roots. When applying a conditioner or hair lotion, it is better to concentrate on the ends of your hair (which tend to dry out faster and are more vulnerable to the damage that comes from exposure). 3. Avoid things that are bad for your hair This seems so obvious it should not need telling. But it apparently does need to be told again because many of us unknowingly adopt several unhealthy hair-practices: Wearing styles that pull the hair tight (usually into braids or pony tails). Many women pull their hair so tight it actually comes out of its roots. If you change your hairstyle soon enough, your hair will recover. Otherwise, your hair might permanently stop growing from the areas it is pulled most from. Any chemical treatments (even so-called ‘herbal’ ones) designed to drastically change the way your hair looks (styling, perming, straightening, hot-oil treatments, hot ironing). Blow-drying your hair – this dries out the scalp and damages hair follicles. Allow your hair to air dry at least part of the time, or change the heat setting on your blower to the lowest. Combing your hair or rough toweling when its wet – this will put out some hair strands from the roots and stretch and break others Even the habit of pulling out hair might do more harm than you realize (some people actually go bald from this). The idea is to be gentle with your hair. Do nothing that might harm your hair in any way. 4. Home treatments for healthy hair Here we’ve

Homeopathic approach to treating eye disease The homeopathic approach to treating eye disease is much different than the traditional approach of using eye drops and surgery. I hope to explain that injections and laser for macular degeneration, cataract surgery go against homeopathic laws of healing and are causing suppression. This is leading to an decrease in our health and well being! In fact, the standard method of lowering pressure by blocking aqueous production with eye drops is much like treating a person with high blood pressure by giving him medication to stop the production of blood! It does not make sense! There’s been a dramatic increase in eye disease worldwide. Why is this happening? Can homeopathic laws explain this increase? According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, age-related eye disease including cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration are expected to dramatically increase from 28 million today to 43 million by the year 2020 The Archives of Ophthalmology published a study in the year 2003 looking at 10,500 patients. Age-related macular degeneration increased from 5 per cent to 27.1 per cent between 1991 and 1999. Primary open-angle glaucoma has increased by 13.8%. The body has a wisdom and disease is an attempt for the body to produce homeostasis or a balance. When a person develops a fever the body needs this fever to fight off an infection. A homeopathic remedy supports what the body needs to do to achieve homeostasis. Traditional medicine treats with opposites so a person will receive a medication to lower the fever- a opposite affect. But this goes against the bodies wisdom in trying to achieve a balance. It does not heal but simply suppresses the symptoms and does not treat the underlying problem. It may seem very dangerous to give a substance that can cause the same symptoms. Wouldn’t this cause an aggravation? Interestingly this approach helps the body achieve its goal of homeostasis. Once the homeopathic medicine begins to act the body no longer needs the symptoms or disease and the problem is eradicated. The second law is Herrings Law. This states that the body acquires disease in a certain direction and then disease will leave in the opposite direction. For example patients with skin disease who are treated with steroids with often develop asthma. The disease is pushed deeper into the body leading to a more serious disease. When this same person is treated homeopathically the asthma will improve but the skin condition will return. The last law is the Law of dilution. This for most people is the most difficult to understand. Homeopathic remedies are diluted to infinitesimal dilutions. How can they work? remember the Law of Similars. We select homeopathic remedies that produce the same action as the disease. We want the homeopathic remedy to act as a gentle catalyst to restore the boy to homeostasis.

Homeopathy For Eczema The term ‘eczema’ is used for a group of conditions that show a similar pattern of changes in the skin, giving rise to specific changes on the surface. The word itself comes from the Greek and means ‘to boil or flow out’ – anyone who has had acute eczema will understand how appropriate this is. In acute eczema, intense inflammation leads to the formation of little blisters (vesicles) in the skin, which soon burst or are scratched open, leading to weeping and the ‘flowing out’ of fluid. Even if there are no vesicles, a section of skin affected by eczema looked at under microscope shows fluid between the skin cells, tending to push them apart. This produces an appearance reminiscent of a sponge- hence the term ‘spongiosis’ that is used by doctors. All the different conditions called eczema would be expected to show this spongiosis, together with some degree of inflammation around some superficial blood vessels, which are dilated, producing the hot, red feeling and appearance. Clinical features of eczema Acute eczema Weeping and crusting Blistering-usually with vesicles but, in fierce cases, with large blisters Redness, papules and swelling- usually with an ill,-defined border Scaling Chronic eczema Less vesicular and exudative More scaly, pigmented and thickened More likely to show lichenification- a dry leathery thickened state, with increased skin markings, secondary to repeated scratching or rubbing; and More likely to fissure Causes of eczema • House dust mites • Animal dander • Mould • Certain foods (e.g., milk, nuts) • Pollen • Certain fabrics • Soaps, cosmetics, perfumes • Detergents and other cleaning fluids • Water • Some people report that emotional stress can also make their eczema symptoms flare up. Myths about eczema • Frequent bathing of the affected areas is helpful and soothing – frequent bathing and long, hot showers should be avoided: moisturizing preparation instead of soaps should be used and moisturizers also applied liberally after bathing should be helpful. • Eczema is contagious – eczema is not contagious, and one can’t acquire the condition by coming in to contact with eczema suffers or their belongings. • Only children get eczema – although it is common in children. The condition is often seen later in life. Homeopathic treatment of eczema The core wisdom of the body is to push illness from a more vital to less important tissue. Thus, though eczema is a completely curable condition, this requires constitutional prescribing. Simultaneously clearing up associated allergies or overall immune weakness.

Ear Infections and Earaches Ear Infections and Earaches: Homeopathic Treatment Better than AntibioticsHave you, or one of your children, ever had an ear infection? If so, you’ll know the urgency of treating the pain as quickly as possible. Fortunately, homeopathy can help.Antibiotics DisappointMore often than not, ear infections start in the middle of the night when doctor’s surgeries and pharmacies are closed – and should you eventually obtain some antibiotics, they probably won’t do much good. Research has shown they are no more effective than simply watching and waiting for the infection to pass. That’s the last thing you want to hear in the middle of the night when trying to settle a distressed child. Help is at hand, though. According to other studies, homeopathy has an answer. A Safer and More Effective Alternative Four controlled clinical trials have now shown that homeopathic remedies relieve earaches and infections, and work faster than antibiotics. Symptoms improved rapidly, often within hours of the remedy being given and without the introduction of new problems as can occur with antibiotics and analgesics. One of the trials also showed that children whose earaches were treated with homeopathy were less likely to have their infection return.

Homeopathy For Dysmenorrhea Causes of dysmenorrhea: Dysmenorrhea is defined as painful menstruation.Primary dysmenorrhea – affects 40-70 % of women of childbearing age. Cigarette smoking has been associated with an increased duration of dysmenorrhea with each cycle. Other risk factors for dysmenorrhea include obesity and frequent alcohol consumption. Studies have shown decreased prevalence and improvement of dysmenorrhea symptoms with exercise. Secondary dysmenorrhea – has several underlying causes Endometriosis – occurs in 3-10% of women of reproductive age. Twenty-five percent to 35% of women with infertility have endometriosis. Leiomyomas – develop in women by age of 40; most are asymptomatic. Black women have an increased incidence of uterine fibroids. Adenomyosis – is observed most frequently in women in the fifth and sixth decades. Fifteen percent of women with Adenomyosis have associated endometriosis. Ovarian cyst Intrauterine device Pelvic inflammatory disease Miscellaneous causes – congenital abnormalities (bicornuate or septate uterus), cervical stenosis, imperforate hymen, uterine polyps, or uterine adhesions may cause secondary dysmenorrhea. Manifestations of dysmenorrhea Symptoms of dysmenorrhoea The spasm or cramping of dysmenorrhea may begin few hours prior to onset of flow or begin at onset of flow. Pain usually stops after 48 hours, but may last as long as 72 hours or continue through entire period. Pain is mainly confined to the suprapubic or pelvic region, back, and lower abdomen, but may radiate to the anterior or medial thigh. A large number of patients experience one or more ancillary problems, such as headache, nausea, bloating, dizziness, lightheadedness, irritability, anxiety, vomiting, fatigue, lower back pain, constipation, diarrhea, distended abdomen, and syncope. Homeopathic treatment of dysmenorrhea Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat dysmenorrhea but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.

  Homeopathy For Asthma   Causes 1. Extrinsic (External) Factors : They comprise of a wide range of allergies, which include allergens such as food allergens, pollutants (Industrial pollutants) , chemicals (pest control), environmental factors (Pollen, dust mites, cats, cockroaches, fungi, smoke) and temperature intolerance. Physical exertion or exercise is known to induce asthmatic episode. Certain infections such as viral, bacterial, or fungal infections often lead to asthmatic breathing. 2. Intrinsic (Internal) factors : The extrinsic factors alone cannot produce asthma, as not every one who is exposed to the pollen develops asthma. Again, not every one who is allergic to pollen develops asthma. This means, asthma is not merely a disease of the lungs but of the immune system. Asthma Triggers Bronchial asthma triggers may include: • Smoking and secondhand smoke • Infections such as colds, flu, or pneumonia • Allergens such as food, pollen, mold, dust mites, and pet dander • Exercise • Air pollution and toxins • Weather, especially extreme changes in temperature • Drugs (such as aspirin, NSAID, and beta-blockers) • Food additives (such as MSG) • Emotional stress and anxiety • Singing, laughing, or crying • Perfumes and fragrances • Acid reflux Signs and Symptoms of Bronchial Asthma With bronchial asthma, you may have one or more of the following signs and symptoms: • Shortness of breath • Tightness of chest • Wheezing • Excessive coughing or a cough that keeps you awake at night The Homeopathic Approach to Asthma  • Homeopathic medicines can be a viable alternative to steroid medications. They can be given as an acute treatment in place of puffers but more importantly, Homeopathic professional treatment working with the whole person can cure asthma entirely. Please remember that although you may be keen to try some natural and effective alternatives.• People suffering from asthma often have allergic tendencies; a genetic predisposition is common. Constitutional homeopathic care can help to improve a person’s general health on deeper levels and possibly reduce the tendency toward asthma. Correctly-chosen remedies can help reduce distress during asthma attacks.

 Homeopathic Treatment of Allergies Are your eyes itching? Are you sneezing, have a runny nose, or are you covered in hives? In that case, the most well-known enemy, “ALLERGIES” has attacked you. Allergies are a very prevalent problem, and freedom from this situation is like a dream. There is a great misunderstanding that allergies are caused by allergens, but they are caused by an unusual reaction of our body’s weak immune system to things that are usually not harmful to a healthy body, like various allergens such as pollen, dust, cat dander, mites, and several more. In an effort to defend the body from that allergen, the immune system produces IgE antibodies called histamine. The histamine then acts on a person’s eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or gastrointestinal tract and causes the symptoms of the allergic reaction. Future exposure to that same allergen will activate this antibody response again. This means that every time you come into contact with that allergen, you’ll have an allergic reaction. Therefore, just treating symptoms or avoiding the allergen will only give temporary relief of symptoms, and so, the permanent cure would be to strengthen the body’s immune and defense system. Causes of Allergies Airborne particles like dust mites (tiny bugs that live in house dust), mold and mildew (small living things that grow in damp places), animal dander and pollen from grass, flowers and trees. Insect bites and stings. Foods, such as milk, wheat, soy, eggs, nuts, seafood, and legumes, which include peas, beans, and peanuts. Latex, cosmetics, laundry detergent, dyes, household cleaners and pesticides. Certain medicines like antibiotics. Symptoms of Allergies Sneezing, itching and irritation of nose, ears, throat, skin. Stuffy, runny or tingling nose. Burning, watering, itchy or red eyes. Cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Skin rashes like Eczema, Hives, etc. Feeling of sinus pressure in and around the nose and cheeks. Ear fullness and popping. Dark circles under the eyes. Difficulty swallowing, throat hoarseness with soreness. Headaches and / or Heart palpitations. Fatigue, Joint aches, muscle pains. Stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Swelling especially in the lips, other parts of the mouth and throat, eyelids, genitals, hands and feet (angioedema). Anaphylactic Shock is a serious allergic reaction, which requires immediate hospitalization. Homeopathic Approach to Allergies Allergies indicate a defective immune system and are considered in homeopathy as communication from the body that something is not right. Homeopathy believes that the allergen is just the trigger to the problem and not the underlying cause. Homeopathic treatment can remove the underlying cause for the allergic tendency and eliminate it completely. A homeopathic practitioner does not treat the disease itself, but looks at the entire individual and how the whole body reacts. An appropriately selected homeopathic remedy that is individually chosen to the totality of symptoms that the person is experiencing, not just the allergy symptoms, stimulates the body’s vital force and immune system so that the body can heal itself. However, homeopathic medicines can also be used to treat the acute phase of an allergy. Homeopathic treatment is safe and gentle, without any side-effects. Homoeopathy medicines are prescribed on the basis of physical, emotional, and genetic make up that individualizes a person. Homeopathy is very effective in managing all the symptoms of allergies and also plays an important role in preventing relapse of the condition and improving the general health of the person. Another outstanding thing about homeopathy is that people on multiple medications can safely take homeopathic medicines. Homeopathic drugs are non-habit forming and have no addictive characteristics. Homeopathy has an exceptional proven safety record with the FDA with 200 years of clinical effectiveness. Since it treats in totality, it leads to a permanent long-lasting cure, rather than a temporary suppression of symptoms. Along with homeopathic medicines some self care measures to follow: Keep family pets out of certain rooms, like your bedroom, and bathe them often. Remove carpets or rugs from your room (hard floor surfaces don’t collect dust as much as carpets do). Get rid of items like heavy drapes that allow dust to build up. Clean your house very frequently. Use special plastic covers to seal pillows and mattresses if you’re allergic to dust mites. If you’re allergic to pollen, keep windows closed and use AC’s. Don’t use fans since they can stir up dust. Filter the air and clean air filters and air ducts frequently. Change your clothing after being outdoors and air out damp clothes and shoes before storing. Don’t leave wet clothes in the washer, remove them promptly. Don’t hang clothes out in the backyard to dry, as pollen and molds may collect in them. Don’t mow lawns and do not collect too many indoor plants as soil encourages mold growth. Keep damp areas such as basements, garages and bathrooms clean and dry. Don’t allow smoking in your house or in your car. Make sure there is an exhaust fan over the stove to remove cooking fumes. TEJAM HOMOE CLINIC IS TREATING SUCH ALLERGIES SUCCESSFULLY WITH HOMEOPATHY.
