Women Health and Homoeopathy

This article is very important for women to read as every women should know about herself, her health ,her diseases and preventive measures and the cure as well.This article of mine is a tribute to the Indian women who work hard in the office and return home to work even harder unlike their male partners.As women work roughly twice than men, they are more  stressed and more prone to diseases. Diseases occur due to the malfunctioning of the body and  causes of the malfunctioning are various:
1. Chronic stress, physical as well as mental
2.Malnutrition
3.Lack of proper exercise.
4.Genetic causes
5.Low immune system
  Although causes are various  but one thing is very sure that one can not get an ailment without having its tendency in genes. So genetic causes are the most important among all . An emotionally strong person with healthy genes can tolerate stress with ease and on the other hand a highly sensitive, emotionally weak  person is more vulnerable to stress and diseases so the first need is to make the body and mind strong, so that it could not easily get effected by stress, pollution, adulteration, infection, hereditary diseases etc.
Today I will share information regarding some common but distressing  diseases in women.:-
i) Osteoporosis:-    About 80% of osteoporosis patients are females between 35 to 55 age group. It is a disease of  bone that leads to increased risk of fracture esp hip, spine and wrist.  In  Osteo. bone   mineral density  (BMD)  is  reduced. It is most common in women after menopause. It has no specific symptoms. It may cause dull pain in the bones or muscles, particularly low back pain and neck pain 

 Prevention :-  1)  Building strong bones  during childhood and adolescence can be the best defense against developing it.

                            2) Eat balanced diet rich  in calcium and vitamin D .

                            3) Engage in weight bearing exercises

     ii) Breast Cancer :-   The incidence of Breast Cancer in India is on the rise and is rapidly becoming the no. 1 Cancer in females pushing the cervical cancer to the second spot. It is reported that one in 22 women in India is likely to suffer from breast cancer during her life time, while the figure is definitely more in America with one in 8 being a victim of this deadly cancer.

 Self inspection:- i)  Skin changes:- See your breast  in the mirror for any skin colour,         depression or dimple

 ii) Lump -    Palpate  your breast with the flat hand to feel any lump.  It is an autoimmune diseases.

   iii)Hypothyroidism;-  It is more prevalent in females than males and frequency increases with age, in the United States  incidence is rising in people ages 40 to 50.  It results from inadequate  production of thyroid hormone  due to thyroid gland disorder, it may also result from pituitary failure to produce TSH . Drugs  may also cause Hypothyroidism.

.

 Symptoms:- are  fatigue,  menstrual changes, forgetfulness,  sensitivity to cold, wt. gain, constipation, edema,   decreasing mental stability, dry inelastic skin, puffy face,  dry hair, brittle nails, slow pulse rate, anorexia,  abdominal distention, increased menstrual bleeding, decreased libido, infertility ,  hair loss, difficulty  in swallowing etc.

           

            iv) Fibroids:-  20 women at the age of 30  have get fibroid in their uterus.  Fortunately most of them remain  asymptomatic. These are more common in nulliparious

or in those having one child  infertility. The prevalence is highest between 35-45 yrs. It may cause distressing symptoms like infection, hemorrhage, pain etc. Begin tumor may turn into malignant and can be life threatening. 

v) Early menopause, Scanty  Menses or Irregular Menses:-  These all disorders  are due to  hormone imbalance or a structural problem  in the internal organs. We have to treat primary cause of the disorder.

vi) Prolapse of uterus:-  Prolapse  of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus.  The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments besides, it has the support of the muscular structures of vagina and all other local  tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by  muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards.

Causes:- 1. Prolonged labor, an interference in the delivery by inexpert people, lack of proper rest diet in post- pregnancy  period, repeated deliveries.

2.  Increased cut of the uterus due to tumor etc.

 3.  Menopausal atrophy may also precipitate  prolapse  of uterus.

Symptoms:-  Feeling of bearing down,  feeling as if something is coming down through vagina. 

                 

                 1.   Dragging discomfort in the lower abdomen .

                 2.    Low backache, heavy menses and vaginal discharge.

                 3.    Increased frequency of urination.

Prevention:-    It is easier to prevent prolapse of uterus than cure it  after its occurrence.  The measures to prevent it should  include good antenatal care in pregnancy, proper management  and timely intervention during  delivery, good postnatal care with proper rest, correct diet and appropriate exercise so as to strengthen the pelvic musculature.

Migraine:-     This is a  recurrent condition an intense  throbbing pain .that effects  one side of the head often accompanies  the headache. Sometimes both sides may be effected.  The unilateral headache often change sides.  About 20% females and 6% males are effected with this. It occurs mostly before the age of 40 yrs. Homoeopathy acts like a magic in migraine.

Associated symptoms:- 

1.      Increased sensitivity to light and sound

2.      Blurred vision

3.      Nausea vomiting, diarrhea.  A migraine is a traumatic experience which the sufferer usually hates  to recall. Some are so severe that it  incapacitates the suffers, leaving them bed ridden.

     NUTRITION:-

            Nutrition is always the foundation of good  health because your food not only gives you energy but provides the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids etc. to manufacture your hormones, blood and bones and to make sure that your body is working efficiently.

As women our body requirements change through out our lives much more so then men, we worry about weight more, we have monthly cycles, give birth and all of us will go through the menopause sooner or later.

Eating well and right homoeopathic treatment is the best way you can take care of yourself and those who depend upon you.  Regardless of the stage of life you are in, committing to a  healthy diet decreases your chances of developing diseases.

Regular exercise and positive thinking are also two keys to prevent diseases.

             HOMOEOPATHIC PREVENTION AND CURE

Homoeopathy appears set to grow at 25-30% over the next three years to become a Rs. 2600-crore industry driven largely by increasing interest and the inclination of the people towards this systems of medicine. While the pharma  industry would grow at 13-15% .

In spite of the increasing  use of homoeopathic  medicines, awareness  about real homoeopathy is not increasing.  The cause being that most of the homoeopathic doctors  treat their patients like allopathic doctors. I mean they only give symptomatic treatment.  They think they are modern homoeopaths. But this is the most unfortunate thing. The power of homoeopathy is beyond imagination. Signs and symptoms are nothing but the reflection of inner disordered  state of body. Homoeopathy is a method of  treatment that supports the body's  own healing mechanism. It is based on the law of similar  “Like cures Like” A homoeopathic remedy is an extremely pure, natural substance that has been diluted  many times. In large quantities these substances would cause the same symptoms the patient  is trying to cure. In small, pure doses, it is not only safe and free from side effects but it will trigger the body to heal itself.

Selection of a remedy:-    Selection of a remedy for a particular patient is one  very laborious, time taking artiste  method.  We match the symptom picture of the remedy as closely to your  own symptoms. We consider  your basic maleness,  your attitude, behavior, temperament,  your qualities,   fears, anxieties, interests,  etc. along with your symptoms to understand your genes and thus your diseases. Your medicine if carefully selected can prevent you from your genetic diseases.  It is wonderful that after taking right remedy (your constitution remedy) you will find that you feel physically better,  your symptoms are removed and now you are more happy, relaxed, positive and energetic.
