Homeopathy for Migraine...

   Homeopathy offers excellent treatment for migraine headaches. A detailed history taking followed by appropriate selection of drug will immensely help the patient. My MD thesis topic has been migraine headaches and have treated over 1,000 patients of migraine.

    Homeopathy  has constitutional treatment which means a detailed history taking and understanding the person in detail and then prescribing a drug which matches the physical and mental condition of the patient.

    Homeopathy has two-pronged approach for management of of migraine patients. One is the constitutional method where buy by a single dose of the constitution medicine is administered and other II is the the acute prescription where by symptoms of the acute phase are taken into account.

    Drugs in acute phase are are Natrum Mur, Belladonna, Anacardium, Glonoine, Natrum Carb....and many more ...

  Pls do meet a doctor in your area we understand your case in detail and will prescribe the appropriate medicine...

Wishing you good health..

Learnings about Unconditional Relationships from Ramayana....

 Learnings about Unconditional Relationships from Ramayana....

    This was the episode in which Laxmana gets hit by a spear from the Mayavi Meghnad and becomes unconscious  and near dead !! 

    A series of Emotions flow....  This is probably the only time when we see Lord Rama Crying..  He cannot control his  tears..  his wounded brother lies in his arms and Lord Rama, the Maryada Purushottama, who seldom shows such emotions... is crying helplessly....   

    He visualises all the good Laxmana has done for him for so many years.... He sees how Laxman talks on behalf of Rama and defends Rama even before Rama says a word..... 

Laxman leaves his life of a Prince to accompany Rama on exile....

Laxman left his young wife to be with Rama...   He sees how Laxmana stays with Rama like a Shadow.....  Rama is well aware of Laxmans love for him and he reciprocates as well.

Laxmans love for Rama is unconditional.... 

But in real life there are so many Laxmans, whom we neglect, take for granted... and many a times also feel that 

Laxman has some work from me, hence he is with me.... which is not the case !!

    In real life we probably understand the importance of Laxman only after he leaves us.....  or dies...

          Rama is praying to God ( he himself is ) that his brother be saved....and its about the responsibility.. what 

will he tell his wife and mother....   Laxman is saved... due to the heroics and devotion of Hanuman...  When Laxmana 

regains consciousness Rama's  happiness knows no bounds...   Rama gets his life back.....And all is 

well..... 

   Ramayana teaches us a lot. Every lesson is full of Moral stories. 

old stories and mythological episodes talk so much about sacrifice, about giving about unconditional love, which is so rare now a days..  With a market driven by competition and insecurity, everybody is more into self... 

       And even if a Odd man does something totally out of affection and love ; that is seen as some hidden agenda and selfish long term motive...... 

   But we must continue to do good work and leave....  Our objective is not to make the person understand what you are doing for him... our Motive  is his well being...  and once you see your wish being successful... and the person is helped... leave silently....  

                   The essense of love is Sacrifice & giving.... 

Homeopathy for fibroids

Fibroid ........     means a benign uterine tumor.
    It is commonly seen in ladies between 35-45 years of age.Of every 100 ladies who undergo
hysterectomy, in 30% the cause is fibroid uterus.


                The common symptoms of fibroid are

1.  MENORRHAGIA -abnormal heavy bleeding
2. DYSMENORRHOEA  
3. IRREGULAR BLEEDING
4. LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN
5. PRESSURE SYMPTOMS LIKE CONSTIPATION,DYSURIA,RETENTION OF URINE
6. RECURRENT MISCARRIAGES
7. DYSPARUNIA
8. PAINFUL SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
9. ABDOMINAL ENLARGEMENT  

     Not all fibroids cases require surgery and many cases of fibroid can be treated with great success using homeopathic medications.

      We have had so many cases which were advised surgery (removal of uterus) and the patients after coming to us have responded so well.truly homeopathy offers an excellent relief to patients with mild to moderate size of fibroid.

      

        the approach to treatment is multipronged with constitutional medicine as the mainstay,with other specific and structural remedies in the fray.Seeing the past papers i can see drugs like calcarea carb ,trillium pendulum, sabina  , calcarea flour , fraxinus americana , thuja , thlapsi bursa pastoris creating a good amount of relief to  the patient.

                                                                     

    Today i was privileged to speak in the Help Library on the same subject. I was accompanied by my colleagues Manisha Parekh and Shreyas Panchal .I really appreciate their efforts to speak for the first time in front of the camera.

  

    I hereby conclude that homeopathy has a good scope for uterine fibroids. The remedy selection should be done properly and the followup criteria with  sonography should be done every two months .This will yield good results. Those cases which are purely surgical (Dr.Samuel Hahnemann who was the founder of homeopathy was never against surgery) need surgical intervention.... 

   We wish a good health and speedy recovery to all ladies....

But last few years the work pressure was tremendous... and I was definately getting stressed... and one fine day I got symptoms of  fatigue, breathlessness and Pains  came up...  Investigations were all borderline and  they  gave  strong warning signals of impending danger !!

Isnt this a story of Many of us ??  The answer is Yes... !!   Even i experienced it  !!

Me, as a doctor have adviced so many patients about life style disorders... But this time i had to take a
decision for Myself... Not that I had any major issues... but i wanted to be the way I was 10 years back...

    After a bit of Research, i decided to go to Nisrgopchar Ashram, Urali Kanchan... I will now be sharing
all my wonderful experiences here.. There are not many blogs on this, and when i searched i found limited
Feedbacks... So I am going to answer many questions which may arise in the minds of people who wish to come here...

1) Where is it  ?

      In Urali, popularly Called as Urali Kanchan, about 30 Km from Pune Station on The Pune- Solapur Road.

     You may call up on the numbers and book in advance.. Telephonic bookings ask for Bank transfer of
     the advance, so that authenticity is maintained.

3)  How to reach ? 

      By Train- Uruli station is hardly 1 Km away. The Udyan Express and Hyderabad Express stop here.
      Many other trains/ Mails/ Passengers too stop. People coming from Mumbai may consider this option.
      Its very convinient. Pune Station is a Bigger station and is 30 Km away. Pune connects to almost all
      parts of India.

      Ricshaw charges Rs 30 till gate and Rs 50 till your room.

      By Road-  Pune Solapur Road. 30 K from Pune.
                       If you get your vehicle, there is a lot of parking Inside.

       centres, office, Medical Check up centre, Library, Meditation Hall, Yoga Hall, Canteen, Community
       Hall...

       Its Big, yet not too big... Its compact yet not suffocating !!

       The Layout and architecture is well thought... and as I said, everything is in a comfortable walking
       distance..


5)  The First Day  !!

      As always, the first day is always full of excitement !! whether its the first day of school, college
      or the first date !! Here too there were people along with us, who too were not knowing a thing..
      but then as we met other patients, some of them who were getting discharged, we started coming
      to know about things.. The procedure Involved A undertaking signing, request for admission, detailed
      medical history to be filled by the patient, attaching some medical reports of relevance.After filling this,
      you Pay the advance and deposit, which is nominal. Then the Doctors see you... and after a detailed
      History and examination, suggest a diet and treatment Plan for you...

      And thus you are In the premises.... in your Room  !!!

     Very little Oil....  Lots of Salads, Fruits and Lots of Water...

     " If one has to live long... then he must not eat too much"  !!

      First few days were a bit difficult to adjust to the "Salt-less food" but after some time we started
       enjoying it....

      The Diet is highly customized, but many people come for Obesity/ Diabetes...

      7 am -         Herbal Tea ( Pls Note Tea is a Strict NO ) + Milk + Jaggery water

      9 am -         Juice- Papaya, Dudhi, Aamla, Haldi...( as per instructions)

         " The Food is costumized as per your Problems. The obesity people are kept on Soup and vegetables
            or fruits... once a day.. or for a few days...



8)  The Overall Atmosphere- 

      Everybody here has come to get their heath back....  People here talk about good health... the
      general discussions here are about food and exercise... which is Good... The authorities discourage
      general talks... Mobile phones... and Chit chatting !!  People come here for a purpose and all are
     engrossed in self... !!    The Teachers and the doctors are very helpful and answer all your questions...
        But its not like a school where you are under a scanner all the time.. They set you free !!
     Its up to you to make the best of it....  nobody will ever check on you ....  But well all of us are grown
     ups... and Should we Fool ourselves ??


9)  The Rooms, Rent & Other costs- 

      By and large its a very Clean place... The Kitchen too is very clean and so are the treatment rooms.
    One cant expect a Star Hotel set up, but lot of efforts are taken to keep it clean...

     The rooms start at Rs 150 Per head per day to Rs 800 per head per day, inclusive of Stay and treatment.
     The massage and Food is not included. Massage is around 50 - 90 Rs for a 45 min session. Rs 50 for a
     50 Kg person and 90 for a 90 Kg person. For a very heavy person is slightly more. Food and Drinks
      will be around Rs 100 per day, which is very reasonable.

     The higher denomination rooms are ofcourse better, with 24 hr Hot water and bigger space. But the simple rooms too are clean. and well ventilated... People with humble resources can also enjoy a good stay
   food and treatment here....

    There is No Discrimination....

10 )  Conclusion-

      People come here for 7, 14, 21 days... even a month...

       Its a very good stay... Good Facility and Great Value for money... Its non- commertial.. and you can
       make it out once you come here....

      We saw people from all sections/ all age groups/ different areas of India, world coming here.... and
      leaving with a smile.... Leaving with Reduced weight....  and Planning a Next visit soon !!


        Even I will come here... soon...

         Thanks Mahatma Gandhiji ( Founder), Manibhai Desai  & The entire Staff of Nisargopchar Ashram..
         for showing us a New Direction !!







     

   

   










   

There is Nothing Spectacular in This World....

There is Nothing Spectacular in this world...

Sachin retired after a glorious career.... India worships him... Ask somebody in Switzerland.. Very few know him... Politicians have their areas.... Outside that are they really known ?? We feel our Principal of school to be the Most powerful person on earth.. Do you feel so after you leave school ? 
Happy bday Rafi sahab.. 88th Bday... of glorious singing and giving eternal happiness to us.. But do you know he is not that big in South India... Forget western countries.... A leading Doctor feels the whole world knows him.. well... people outside the 2 km radius does'nt even know he existed !! Industrialists boast their mansion and villas....and there are top industrialists everywhere now, who really dont care who is doing what.....
So what are we really running after... What is status and so called Respect... We are all a small little ripple in the vast ocean...

We must run after basics and happiness...

Nobody really knows you..
Nobody is really observing you...
Nobody really bothers what you are doing...
Nobody really knows you existed...
Nobody is going to cry after you die...

The other day i saw a dog marking his territory.....

We too do the same.... !!

Homeopathy for Polyp

Homeopathy for Polyp: 




A few days back i saw a patient with Polyp on  the Lateral Canthi of the Right Eye. 


The 55 year old lady was having this for last 2 years and was the size of a pea. 


It was not Painful, but the patient was irritated with people asking her all the time about it. 


We repertorised the case and the Drug of Choice was Calcarea Carb !! 


Calcarea Carb 200 was Administered and asked to be repeated every week. 




The patient came after 1 Month with 30 % improvement. 
Every month saw her polyp size improving. 


Yesterday ( July 24th 2012) her polyp was reduced by 90 %


Further recovery will be slow. Medorrhinum 1M  1 Dose has been given as anti miasmatic. 


Homeopathy does wonders !!  So many times !!  


Its all about the right selection !!

Homeopathy for Bursitis

A Case of Bursitis: 


A 70 year old man presented with Pain and Swelling in the right Elbow...
The Diagnosis was Olecrenon Bursitis...  

Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa.  A bursa (the plural form is bursae) is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

   A bursa can become inflamed from injury, infection (rare in the shoulder), or due to an underlying rheumatic condition. Examples of bursitis include injury as subtle as lifting a bag of groceries into the car to inflame the shoulder bursa, infection of the bursa in front of the knee from a knee scraping on asphalt and inflammation of the elbow bursa from gout crystals

     The symptoms of bursitis are directly related to the degree of inflammation present in the bursa. The inflamed bursa can cause localized pain and tenderness. If the bursa is so inflamed that swelling occurs, it can cause local swelling and stiffness, sometimes associated with local redness and warmth. The inflammation can make it painful to support body pressure. For example, hip bursitis can make it difficult to lay on the affected side of the hip. Bursitis in the Knee, for another example, can make it painful to lay with the knees touching each other.

    The symptoms of bursitis are directly related to the degree of inflammation present in the bursa. The inflamed bursa can cause localized pain and tenderness.

Bursitis in the knee, for another example, can make it painful  to lay with the knees touching each other.
 

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT: 
Based on the Symptoms, Pain, Location  Calcarea Carb 200 Repeatedly was Given for 14 Days..
Results were very envouraging and the swelling subsided totally in 8 days !!  
Such are the wonderful results with Homeopathy !!
