CONJUNCTIVITIS

Conjunctivitis refers to an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent membrane covering the front of the eye. This is also referred to as having 'sore eyes' and is a very common form of eye trouble. It spreads from person to person through direct Contact. Overcrowding, dirty surroundings and unhealthy living conditions can cause epidemics of this ailment.

Conjunctivitis Symptoms

Eyeball and underside of the eyelids become inflammed

The eyeball and underside of the eyelids become inflammed. At first, the eyes are red and itchy. Later, there may be a watery secretion.

Pus formation

In more serious cases, there is pus formation, which dries up during sleep, making the lashes stick together.

Causes of Conjunctivitis

Bacterial or virus infection or eyestrain

Conjunctivitis results from bacterial or a virus infection or eyestrain. Prolonged work under artificial light and excessive use of the eyes in one way or the other, no doubt, contribute towards the disease.

Catarrhal condition of the system from general toxaemia

Its real cause can be traced to a catarrhal condition of the system resulting from general toxaemia due to dietetic errors, and a faulty style of living. The patient generally suffers from colds or other ailments indicative of a general catarrhal condition.

Home Remedies for Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis treatment using Vegetable Juices

Raw juices of certain vegetables, especially carrots and spinach, have been found valuable in conjunctivitis. The combined juices of these two vegetables have proved very effective. In this combination, 200 ml of spinach juice should be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice. Raw parsley (prajmoda) juice-200 ml, mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice has also been found beneficial in the treatment of this disease.

Conjunctivitis treatment using Indian Gooseberry

The juice of the Indian gooseberry, mixed with honey, is useful in conjunctivitis. A cup of this juice should be taken mixed with two teaspoons of honey twice daily in treating this condition.

Conjunctivitis treatment using Vitamins

Vitamins A and B2 have proved useful in conjunctivitis. The patient should take liberal quantities of natural foods rich in these two vitamins. Foods rich in vitamin A are wholemilk, curds, butter, carrots, pumpkin, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, mangoes, and papaya. Foods rich in vitamin B2 are green leafy vegetables, milk, almonds, citrus fruits, bananas, and tomatoes.

Conjunctivitis treatment using Coriander

A decoction prepared with a handful of dried coriander in 60 ml of water is an excellent eye-wash in conjunctivitis. It is said to relieve burning and reduces pain and swelling. This decoction should, however, be sparingly used by persons suffering from bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis.

Conjunctivitis diet

Take fresh fruit diet, avoid bananas

The best way to commence treatment for conjunctivitis is to adopt an exclusive fresh fruit diet for a week. In this regimen, the three meals a day should consist of fresh, juicy seasonal fruits. Bananas should, however, not be taken. Those with acute conjunctivitis should undertake a juice fast for three or four days.

All-fruit diet followed by a restricted diet of chapatis, nuts etc

The short juice fast may be followed by an all-fruit diet for a further seven days. Thereafter, the patient may adopt a restricted diet, consisting of fresh fruits, raw mixed-vegetable salad, wholemeal bread or chapatis and steamed vegetables, and nuts.

Avoid starchy and sugary foods, refined cereals, strong tea ans coffee

The patient should avoid an excessive intake of starchy and sugary foods in the form of white bread, refined cereals, potatoes, puddings, sugar, jams, confectionery, meats, fatty foods, strong tea and coffee, too much salt, condiments, and sauces which cause a general catarrhal condition as well as conjunctivitis.

Other Conjunctivitis treatments

Warm-water enema

Those taking a juice fast for the first three or four days of the treatment should take a warm-water enema daily during the fast.

Cold water fomentation of the eyes

A cold water fomentation of the eyes provides almost immediate relief. The procedure is to fold a small hand towel, saturate it with cold water, squeeze out excess water and place the towel gently over both the eyes. It should be covered with a piece of warm cloth to retain the temperature. The process should be repeated as soon as the foment becomes warm. Fomentation should be done for an hour. The eyes should then be covered with a dry towel, and the patient should lie back and relax. The damaged eye tissues will quickly return to normal. This treatment should be repeated every night for a week, even though the problem may clear up with the first treatment itself.

Relaxing, strengthening of eyes by doing eye exercises

The patient should also adopt various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes. These include moving the eyes gently up and down, from side to side and in a circle - clockwise and anticlockwise; rotating the neck in circles and semicircles; and briskly moving the shoulders clockwise and anticlockwise. Palming is highly beneficial in removing strain and relaxing the eyes and its surrounding tissues. The procedure is as follows: sit in a comfortable position and relax with your eyes closed. Cover the eyes with the palms, right palm over the right eye and the left over the left eye. Do not press on the eye balls. Then allow your elbows to drop to your knees, which should be fairly close together.

Understanding the SYMPTOMS OF POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION

Circulatory problems do not begin in a day. In other words, you could call the heart a very patient organ, which can take years of abuse and when it cannot take it anymore, breaks out in to early symptoms.
At the outset, we need to remember that poor circulation is an outcome of certain lifestyle choices which we make which are detrimental to our health. Coupled with these are factors like imbalanced diet and lack of physical exercise. All these factors lead to fatty deposits on the arterial walls, which when hardened are called plaques. These plaques then block or create obstructions to the smooth passage of blood to and from the heart.
Plaques take a long time to be formed; that is the reason, we find circulatory problems affecting the elderly more often than they affect children. Our food habits also add to an unhealthy build up of cholesterol which may increase the viscosity of the blood, which again creates anomaly in the smooth flow through arteries and veins.
Since the circulatory system covers our entire body, the problems can also be manifested in numerous ways. For instance:
Brain - Our brain receives 20% of the blood circulated in our body. With a drop in the flow, our brain functions sub-optimally, resulting in feeling lethargic, loss of memory, lack of mental clarity, etc. Frequent unexplained headaches and sudden attacks of dizziness are also seen as symptoms of poor blood circulation to the brain.
Heart - When poor blood circulation affects the heart, the symptoms would be chest pain, high blood pressure and rise in the level of cholesterol. Difficulty in performing any common task like climbing stairs, walking a stretch could make you very tired and breathless.
Liver - When you suffer from lack of appetite or experience sudden weight loss and your skin looks luster-less, it is quite possible that your liver is getting 'sluggish' and these are the early symptoms of poor blood circulation to the liver.
Kidneys - This organ plays an important role in regulating and monitoring our blood pressure other than eliminating the waste and excess water from our bodies. When poor blood circulation affects the kidneys, we notice swelling of hands, feet and ankles, rise in blood pressure, altered heart rate and we feel tired all the time.
Limbs - Poor blood circulation can have serious impact on our arms and legs. We can experience sudden numbness of our hands, feet and fingers or suffer painful leg cramps. Symptoms of serious blood circulation problems can be varicose veins or a condition called cyanosis - which is when part of our skin turns blue or black due to lack of adequate oxygen to the concerned tissues.
Sex Drive - Poor blood circulation can affect our reproductive organs as well. The symptoms are lack of sex drive and fatigue. Symptoms would also include lack of vitality also. Serious blood circulation problems could make one impotent also.

SWINE FLU YA ALLAH KA AZAB

This is not a co incidence. I have one more example regarding Allah’s power. Last year Muslims decided to boycott Danish products because a Danish Newspaper printed cartoons of our Prophet (PBUH). To support the Danish government, ALL European countries reprinted the cartoons on the same day as if to say “You can ruin the Danish economy by boycotting Danish products. Now try and hurt all our economies if you can.” After that a deep economic crisis occurred where the economies of all these countries were in trouble.

Allah Akbar. Nothing can match the power of Allah.

Assalaam wa-alekum

few months ago, the Western countries made fun of the naqaab (Islamic Burqa/Veil).

France President Sarcossy had issued a ban on the Viel(Naqaab)

And what’s happening today??

Entire world is wearing naqaab

Allah hu Akbar

Is such a sudden attack of swine flu a coincidence?

No way.

ATTENTION PROBLEMS

ATTENTION PROBLEMS

A Matter of Focus

Your son sits down to start his homework, but his attention is distracted by the rustling of a tree outside his window. So he stares out the window a while. Then he jumps up to play with a toy truck. On the way back to his desk, he stops to tickle his little brother.
So why can't he sit still long enough to finish a task? His short attention span may seem like an unconquerable problem. But experts say there are things you can do to help your child focus better.
Confer with the teacher. ''If your child's attention problems occur only at school, there may be a teacher problem,'' says Cynthia Whitham, a licensed clinical social worker and staff therapist at the University of California, Los Angeles, Parent Training Clinic and author of Win the Whining War and Other Skirmishes. If this is the case, arrange a conference with the teacher to discuss the problem and possible solutions.
Arrange a hearing check. If your child is inattentive and easily distracted, but not overactive or impulsive, consider having him screened for hearing problems or auditory processing problems, suggests Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., a child psychologist who is a clinical instructor at the University of Utah School of Medicine and codirector of the Neurology, Learning and Behavior Center in Salt Lake City. ''Though he may hear you, it's possible that all the information he's hearing isn't reaching his brain effectively,'' he says.
MEDICAL ALERT

When to See the Doctor

Most young children are naturally active and may be unable to pay attention to a single task for a long period of time. However, some children who are consistently hyperactive should be evaluated by a mental health professional for possible Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), according to Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., a child psychologist who is a clinical instructor at the University of Utah School of Medicine and codirector of the Neurology, Learning and Behavior Center in Salt Lake City.
The following behaviors, if they occur excessively, may indicate the early signs of an ADD problem.
* Fidgets with his hands or feet
* Talks frequently and loudly
* Has difficulty remaining seated
* Is easily distracted
* Has a short attention span and flits from activity to activity
* Has trouble awaiting his turn
* Intrudes and acts bossy with other children
* Acts impulsively
Some ADD traits, such as impulsiveness, hyperactivity and difficulty paying attention to routine activities, are not always liabilities, points out Dr. Goldstein, and can be effectively managed by parents and teachers, with guidance from a professional. In severe cases, stimulant medication may be prescribed for a child with ADD.
Check out home stressors.
If the problems occur only at home, they could be a reaction to home stressors. ''If you see distractibility, overactivity and impulsiveness in your child, and you're going through separation, divorce or other troublesome times, the behavior might be temporary,'' says Whitham. She suggests increasing time with your child to give her opportunities to express her feelings to you.
Heighten the fun level. Build the following elements into as many of your child's activities as possible: movement, novelty, variety, color, skin contact and excitement. When helping with spelling, for example, have your child print the words with crayons onto three-by-five-inch cards rather than merely spelling them out loud. The cards can be used for drill and review. To sustain attention during chores, play lively music and join the child in dance-like movements. ''If the activity has an intrinsic appeal to a distractible child, his attention span will be longer,'' says John F. Taylor, Ph.D., a family psychologist in Salem, Oregon, and author of Helping Your Hyperactive Child.
Turn the desk. A child who's easily distracted will be able to focus on homework and other tasks more easily and for longer periods if his desk chair faces a wall rather than an open room or a window, says Dr. Taylor.
Frame and focus. Cut a large piece of cardboard into a shape like a picture frame and place it around the ''attention area'' on your child's desk, suggests Dr. Taylor. Tell her to look inside the picture frame to do her work. This will help her concentrate, according to Dr. Taylor.
Tell, don't ask. Get in the habit of using statements, not questions. ''A short series of commands is much easier to follow,'' says Whitham. For example, don't say, ''Can't you find your jacket, honey?'' Instead, say, ''Go find your jacket now, and come back and show me.''

Ensure a Good Night's Sleep

To reduce bedtime hassles and ensure your child gets enough sleep, John F. Taylor, Ph.D., a family psychologist in Salem, Oregon, and author of Helping Your Hyperactive Child, suggests that half an hour before bedtime, you give your child a glass of milk or a slice of turkey. Both these snacks are high in protein and contain tryptophan, which can help induce sleepiness. Then follow these bedtime rituals or similar ones.
* Bath
* Gentle skin contact, such as a back rub
* Bedtime story
* Warm, friendly tuck-in
* Night-light
* Tape-recorded bedtime stories the child can play to help soothe him to sleep after you leave the room.

Cut Down on Additives

A number of studies indicate that there is a connection between childhood attention problems and the chemical additives in processed food. According to one study, the behavior of more than half of a group of hyperactive children deteriorated markedly when they were exposed to artificial flavorings, colors and preservatives. Their behavior improved when the additives were removed.
While some authorities disagree about the exact role of additives with respect to attentional difficulties and hyperactivity, ''it certainly can't hurt and very possibly may help to eliminate chemical additives as much as possible from your child's diet,'' says John F. Taylor, Ph.D., a family psychologist in Salem, Oregon, and author of Helping Your Hyperactive Child.
For information on common additives and how to avoid them, contact the Feingold Association, P.O. Box 6550, Alexandria, Virginia 22306.
Make eye contact.
To improve communication with your inattentive child, always make eye contact with her before you speak, suggests Whitham.
Be specific. ''Provide positive directions,'' says Dr. Goldstein. Instead of telling your child what not to do, tell him what to do. Don't say ''Take your feet off that chair.'' Instead, say ''Put your feet on the floor.'' Otherwise, your child may remove his feet from the chair but do something equally distracting, such as putting his feet on the bookcase.
Make a list. Make and post a list or chart of tasks your child can check off or cross out when completed, says Whitham. ''That way, you won't have to repeat yourself, because the chart gives the reminder,'' she explains. If the tasks aren't getting done, calmly tell your child to go check his list.
Give credit for trying. Have patience with your inattentive child: She may be doing her best. ''Many children have trouble starting a task and sticking to it,'' says Dr. Goldstein. ''This is not behavior that they can easily control or stop just because you repeatedly tell them to.''
Choose your battles. Child development experts often recommend ignoring your child when his behavior is something you don't like but can tolerate. Eventually, your child will stop the troublesome behavior because he's not getting any attention for it. ''The trick is to always pay attention to your child when he stops the behavior you don't like and starts the behavior you do like,'' says Dr. Goldstein.
Be consistent. ''Set up and stick to schedules and routines,'' suggests Dr. Goldstein. ''Children with attention problems often benefit from consistent routines, including specific time periods for watching television, doing homework, playing, performing chores and eating dinner.'' Minimize disruptions. When interruptions are unavoidable, however, try to warn your child ahead of time that there's going to be a change of schedule.
Supply a release. To keep your child on a task longer, Dr. Taylor suggests you allow ways she can incorporate some movement into her work. For instance, give her a sponge rubber ball, a ball of colorful yarn or a colorful shoelace to squeeze or fiddle with while working.
Consider the sugar connection. While research findings don't thoroughly condemn sugar, according to Dr. Taylor, he believes parents should consider cutting down on their child's intake. ''After diagnosing and treating about 1,400 children, I've found that somewhere around a third of the parents have told me that food with high sugar content causes their child's behavior to deteriorate significantly,'' says Dr. Taylor.
He adds that some research has shown that giving a high-protein food can block the effect of sugar in children sensitive to it. So if your child eats a sugary meal such as pancakes and syrup, supply a protein source such as yogurt, peanut butter, eggs or cheese.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ::: HYPERTENSION

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ::: HYPERTENSION
Hypertension is a condition caused by an increase in the blood pressure. As the blood flows through blood vessels in the human body, it exerts pressure against the walls of the vessels. As the heart contracts in its cycle of pumping blood, blood pressure reaches its highest level. This is called systolic blood pressure. The blood pressure reaches its lowest point when the heart is at rest or is released. This is called diastolic blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mm of Hg (Mercury) for a healthy person. There is no safe limit beyond normal. Any value other than normal should be a reason for taking care.
If continuously, the systolic and diastolic pressure excelled the limit of 140/90, a human being is said to have high blood pressure. He needs medical care values higher than 160/95 are placed in the danger zone.
Types of hypertension: There are different types of hypertension depending upon the causes; -

  • Essential hypertension; this simply means that the hypertension is of unknown origin. However in most patients with essential hypertension there is a strong hereditary tendency.
  • Neurogenic hypertension: it can be caused by strong stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. For example when a person becomes excited for any reason or at any time during states of anxiety the sympathetic system becomes stimulated, vasoconstriction occurs everywhere in the body and acute hypertension occurs.
  • Hypertension in toxemia of pregnancy: - during pregnancy many patients develop hypertension. The main reason for this hypertension is believed to be thickening of the glomerular membrane, which decreases the rate of fluid filtration from the glomeruli into the renal tubules.

People who are at more risk of high blood pressure than others:

  • More men below 45 years of age than women in that age group.
  • Obese persons are more prone to high blood pressure.
  • A child of parents either of who might have suffered from high blood pressure.
  • Persons who use excess amount of salt, pickles, meat and fried food.
  • Some users of birth control pills.
  • Smokers are also at higher risk.

Results of high blood pressure: -

  • First of all the arterial walls become thick and hardened. The heart muscles come under strain. They are overworked.
  • Congestive heart failure also can result from hypertension. Congestive heart failure can result from many causes. But its most significant cause is hypertension.
  • One of the most serious results of hypertension is a stroke, which results in the damage of brain. High blood pressure makes it difficult for blood vessels to function properly. The brain does not get proper nourishment by way of blood and oxygen. Blood coming with greater pressure than normal, physically hurts the sensitive inner walls of the arteries. A deposit of plaque forms more rapidly than in normal cases. The blood vessels lose their elasticity. To put it in layman’s language: ‘As the plumbing becomes rotten and defective, a sudden choking occurs’. In this case, the choking is that of the supply of blood. The patient suffers a stroke, which can even be fatal. A stroke may not always kill. But once it has affected a person, his ability to walk, think, read, write or to speak is greatly reduced. Even if a stroke does not occur, a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the brain over a long period of time, affects intelligence, clarity of thinking and weakness of memory.
  • Hypertension can cause congestion in the lungs.
  • High blood pressure also slows down the functioning of kidneys.
HOME REMEDIES FOR HYPERTENSION

  • Garlic helps to lower blood pressure by 5 to 10%. It can also lower cholesterol, reduce triglyceride levels, does not allow the clot formation, and increases blood circulation.
  • Add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper in half a cup Luke warm water and stir. Drink when required. This is very effective natural cure for high blood pressure.
  • Prepare a mixture by adding 1/2 onion juice and 1/2 honey. Take 2 tbls once a day for 1-2 weeks. This is very effective home remedy for hypertension.
  • Eat 1 Papaya on an empty stomach daily for a month. Do not eat anything after for about 2 hours.
  • Intake of potassium also helps to maintain the blood pressure.
  • Some parts of the Laminaria and similar seaweeds are used as a blood-pressure-lowering drug in a preparation called Kombu.
  • Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) has a tonic effect on the heart and circulatory system. Drink the tea daily, or use lemon balm vinegar on salads. This is also very effective home remedy for hypertension.
  • Take nutmeg or saraswat powder in warm milk.
  • Take equal parts of Ashwagandha, Valerian, and Gotu kola. Mix well and take 1-3 grams of the powdered herbs with warm water or with ghee.
  • Being physically active is one of the most important steps to prevent or control high blood pressure.
  • Reduce salt intake, smoking, alcohol intake and avoid fried foods.
  • Increase the intake of fruits and green vegetables in the diet.
  • Reduce stress.
  • Those who are over weight should try hard to reduce weight. Weight reduction can be achieved through regulation of diet, reasonable and non-tiring exercise.
  • Morning walk is also very helpful for hypretension treatment.
