CHRISTMAS TIME

Since about 400 AD, Christians have celebrated the birth of Jesus. 'Christ' means 'Messiah' or 'Anointed One' - the title given to Jesus - and 'Mass' was a religious festival.

But the real Christmas story is found in the Christian Bible. It is told in two different books: Matthew and Luke chapters 1 and 2.
These chapters tell how Jesus was born as a baby to Mary. This was no ordinary birth! She was not married, she was a virgin, (yes, really!) and an angel had told her she would bear a special baby. Her husband-to-be, Joseph, did not believe her at first. Who would? Then an angel told him in a dream that it was true! Probably no one else believed it. So when they had to travel from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem (near Jerusalem), to register their names with the ruling Roman government, they probably escaped many hard words from other people.

Arrival in Bethlehem brought worry and upset: there was no room for them to stay at the hotel. There was only space in the stable - the animal house for travelers' donkeys and horses.
Jesus was born that night, and as they had no bed for him, they used an animal feeding box filled with the dry grass the animals ate.

The shepherds are frightened

"That night there were some men looking after sheep in the fields nearby. Suddenly they saw a great light. It was an angel, who said, 'Don't be afraid. I have good news for you, and for all people. Someone great has been born today. He is Christ, the great King you have been waiting for. He will save you from all that is wrong and evil. You will find him dressed in baby clothes, lying on a bed of dry grass.'

The story of the wise men

After Jesus was born, wise men came to look for Him, from an area which is now in either Iran or Saudi Arabia. Although they are often called the "Three Kings", the Bible does not say how many there were, or that they were kings. Three is only a guess because they brought with them three gifts.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

They were certainly men of learning - probably today we would call them philosophers or scientists. They had seen an unusual new star in the sky, and knew that it told of the birth of a special king. (The star they saw was probably an exploding "supernova" and is known from astronomical records.) They followed the direction of the star and eventually found the place where Mary, Joseph and Jesus were staying. To bring honour to the child, they brought rich gifts: gold, frankincense (a resin which burns with a beautiful smell), and myrrh (plant oil with a very strong sweet smell).

These gifts tell us in pictures three key things about Jesus:

Gold: a gift fit for a King
Frankincense: burnt in worship of God
Myrrh: gift to anoint king

SLEEPING BEAUTY and HOMEOPATHY

Adequate sleep is essential for healthy skin & Here’s why:

• During the day, our skin uses its resources to fight environmental assaults.
  
• At night, when you are sleeping, it repairs and renews itself and is especially receptive to moisture
  
• There is research to prove that the body needs at least eight hours of sleep to recover from the day’s activities


• And if you cut back on sleep time, the process of repair remains incomplete, making the skin reflect signs of premature ageing like dryness, dullness, loss of firmness, fine lines and wrinkles.

DECEMBER...

Hello All,

December's flower is the narcissus or holly.

Its birthstones are turquoise, lapis lazuli.

EVENTS THIS DECEMBER:

World AIDS Day (December 1)
Human Rights Day (December 10)
Christmas (December 25)
New Year's Eve (December 31)

WORLD AIDS DAY...

World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people. with an estimated 38.6 million people living with HIV, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million (between 2.8 and 3.6 million) lives in 2005, of which more than half a million (570,000) were children.

The concept of a World AIDS Day originated at the 1988 World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS Prevention. Since then, it has been taken up by governments, international organizations and charities around the world.

From its inception until 2004, UNAIDS spearheaded the World AIDS Day campaign, choosing annual themes in consultation with other global health organizations. In 2005 this responsibility was turned over to World AIDS Campaign (WAC), who chose Stop AIDS: Keep the Promise as the main theme for World AIDS Day observances through 2010, with more specific sub-taglines chosen annually. This theme is not specific to World AIDS Day, but is used year-round in WAC's efforts to highlight HIV/AIDS awareness within the context of other major global events including the G8 Summit. World AIDS Campaign also conducts “in-country” campaigns throughout the world, like the Student Stop AIDS Campaign, an infection-awareness campaign targeting young people throughout the UK.

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away...

HOW MUCH TO EAT: A medium apple weighs 100g (no core); an average glass as snacks , in fruit salads, grated on to cereal, as juice, baked, or stewed.

MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS: Flavonols, especially quercetin, are well absorbed by the body. Eating fresh apples will maximize flavonol intake. Stewing can reduce levels by up to 70% as flavonols leach into cooking water, So eat the cooking juice too. Limit peeling as flavonols concentrate near and in fruit skins.

KEY BENEFITS:

1. The flavonol quercetin, which is found in apples, is one of the most potent antioxidants of flavonoids. Quercetin also has anti inflammatory and anti-cancer actions.
2. Eating plenty of apples reduces risk of developing lung cancer.
3. Quercetin reduces risk of stroke...

Thus its truly said, An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away...

BLACK TEA...

Black tea is made by fermenting leaves of the tea plant Camellia Sinensis
Its strong antioxidants give black tea its characteristic colour and flavour.

TO MAXIMIZE BENEFITS:

Brew tea for at least a minute to maximize the release of flavanols. Adding milk does not affect absorption. The phenolic compounds in tea can reduce iron absorption from non-meet foods, so do not drink tea with every meal. The fluorine in tea helps protect against tooth decay.

HOW MUCH TO DRINK:

Positive health benefits have been associated with drinking 1-5 cups of black tea, or decaffeinated black tea, daily.

MAJOR BENEFITS:

1. Flavanols are the main phytochemicals in black tea. Simple flavanols are transformed into complex transformed into complex flavanols are transformed into complex flavanols (thearubigens and theaflavins) during the fermentation process.


2. BONE HEALTH: A study of 1,256 women in the UK aged 65 to 76 found that regukar tea drinkers had regular tea drinkers had significantly stronger bones than non-tea drinkers, suggesting that tea flavonoids may influence bone health.


3. CANCER: A study of 35,369 postmenopausal women in the US indicated that those who drank two or more cups of black tea daily had 40-70 percent lower rates of digestive and urinary tract cancers compared to those who rarely drank tea.


4. HEART DISEASE: A number of population studies links high flavonoid intakes, especially from a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.

As I needed more time and effort to study, I was not able to take part in any extra curricular activities in school which made me an introvert as compared to my friends in school. After undergoing MET program I was able to remember & retain everything I studied without putting much effort, this gave a boost to my confidence levels and was able to actively participate in many curricular & extra- curricular events and also won prizes. This helped me open up as a person. Not only this but my aggregate percentage increased from 72% to 87.8% in my Board exams. I thank Dr. Sanghvi for bringing this positive change in my life.

HappY ChildreN's DaY!!!

On behalf of the entire team of Nature Clinic, we wish everyone A HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!!

The joy they bring in our lives- the sound of his laughter, the color of her eyes, those rainbows of emotions on its face...

MORE ABOUT CHILDREN'S DAY:

Children's day was first celebrated worldwide in October, 1953, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare, Geneva. The idea of Universal Children's Day was mooted by late Shri V.K. Krishna Menon and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. 20 November is Universal Children's Day. First proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. 20 November is the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states.

In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14 every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of independent India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as he was very fond of children. Children's day is celebrated on this day in recognition of his lifelong passion and work for children.

OSTEOPOROSIS MONTH- This November...

It is also known as “The Brittle Bone Disease”

Osteoporosis is a disease of bone that leads to an increased risk of fracture and where the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced.

RISK FACTORS:

The risk factors of osteoporosis can be put into 2 categories:

NONMODIFIABLE: These include

1. Advanced age (in both men and women)
2. Women in general are more affected.
3. Family history of Osteoporosis.

MODIFIABLE (Probably):

1. Excess alcohol
2. Vitamin D deficiency
3. Tobacco smoking
4. Being overweight
5. Malnutrition
6. Physical inactivity
7. Excess physical activity
8. Soft drinks.

ROLE OF HOMEOPATHY:

Homeopathic remedies will not reverse existing bone loss, but can bring the body into better balance and help its minerals and nutrients be used efficiently. Remedies are also helpful for aching bones and prevention or healing of fractures.

MY SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION:

CF 3x + CP 3x + FP 12x + Sil 12x

These are Biochemic medicines.

DOSE: Children: A total of 10-15 Tab. /day

Adults: A total of 15- 30 tab. /day

DOSAGE: 4-8 Times / day

DRINK YOUR WAY TO HEALTH... ONE CUP OF GREEN TEA!!!

Green tea is known for its Antioxidant strength!!! It is produced by steaming the leaves of the tea plant Camellia Sinensis.

BOOSTING THE BENEFITS:

The flavanols in green tea are very soluble and are absorbed well by the body. Allow to brew for at least a minute for maximum release of flavonoids into the hot liquid.

HOW MUCH TO DRINK:

Just one cup of green tea can lead to a significant increase in antioxidant activity in the blood.

[P.S. : Four to five cups may give optimal benefits.]

VITAL BENEFITS:

Epicatechin flavanols, the main phytochemicals in green tea, have been shown to have antioxidant, antithrombotic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-cancer, and immune system regulating effects.

ROLE:

HEART DISEASE: Drinking green tea regularly may significantly lower cholesterol levels. This may be explained partly by flavanols’ ability to inhabit cholesterol absorption into the body.

CANCER: A study indicated a link between drinking green tea and a reduced incidence of cancer of the oesophagus and stomach. Another study found that drinking green tea inhibited the development of blood vessels needed to support the growth of cancerous tumours.

TOOTH DECAY: Flavanols may protect against tooth decay by inhibiting the bacterial activities that lead to a built-up of plaque.

My son S.G. has been under Dr. Jayesh Sanghvi’s treatment for Memory enhancement. And I must say that it has been very beneficial to him, not only from his exams or scoring point of view but also overall! Before staring treatment he would always score somewhere between 50- 55% in his exams. Within 3 months of treatment we noticed some really positive changes in him. He had started focusing better in his studies & to my surprise had started developing an interest in History (the subject that he disliked & feared the most). Within 10 months of treatment I noticed a growth in his percentage to 80%. Along with this he has also become more calm, understanding & responsible. He scored a 85% in his Class X board exams. I am indebted to Dr. Sanghvi for this. Thank you again, Dr. Jayesh!

RELAXATION IS THE KEY...

Life is frittered away by details. Simplify... Simplify…simplify! Cried Thoreau, several years ago. Much water has flowed under the proverbial bridge ever since, but we have continued to make this world a more and more complicated place to live in. Indeed we have reached a stage where success has become synonymous with heart attacks, ulcers and high blood pressure! In fact, these ailments are no longer considered as diseased, but have come to stay as status symbols in modern society!

Is it not time that we understand that success at the cost of serenity, is no success at all? Is it not time we appreciate, that victory at the cost of peace and tranquility, will only be a victory in vain? Like happiness, relaxation is not a station you arrive at. It is a manner of traveling. Let us not fallinto the mental trap that we shall relax after we succeed. On the contrary, let relaxation be a part of our way to success.

And here are TEN surest ways to RELAX for those who would like to relax and succeed:

Do not get angry easily – be forgiving, Remember, all anger ends in repentance!

Do not believe everything you hear; do not do everything you see; then you shall always be relaxed.

Browse through a book or magazine in a book store or public library or challenge yourself with a crossword puzzle whenever you find time.

Do not dwell on the past. Live for the present and plan for the future. Remember, today is the tomorrow you did not plan for yesterday!

It is perfectly normal for people to be ungrateful. So, if you are expecting gratitude, you are going to get heartburns!

Do not give your spouse, children and subordinates a tough time every now and then. Take a rigid stand only on truly important issues.

Do not worry about changing things that are totally beyond your control.

Understand that contentment is not the fulfillment of what you wish, but the appreciation of what you already possess. Understand that contentment is natural wealth and luxury is artificial happiness.

Engage in a sport or activity like Tennis that allows you to release your aggressions you can hit the ball as hard as you like!

Do meditation regularly.

Mr. R.S., Chennai- Saved from Pin-hole Surgery of Brain...

In June 2006 I was involved in a car accident. I was injured along with three of my family members.

A blood clot was formed in my brain. On consultation with neuro physicians and surgeons I was advised a pinhole surgery of the brain to remove the clot. Dr. Jayesh requested me to put the surgery on hold for a week and gave me medicines. After a week, I took a CT scan of the brain and the doctors were surprised to find that the clot had reduced in size. They advised to watch it for some more time and then to decide on surgery. The clot had disappeared totally when again a CT scan of brain was taken after about 2 months. Thus I was saved of a surgery thanks to the homeopathy medicines given by Dr. Jayesh.

THE MAN - THE VISIONARY BEHIND MET...

Dr. Jayesh V. Sanghvi developed the basic concept during his medical college days in the late 1970's out of sheer adventurism and enthusiasm, beginning with self-experimentation. Encouraged by the results, and further so his coming across a book by a 19th century French Homeopath who treated human nature; he clinically worked on it for the next ten years, fine turning and simplifying the medication and procedure, which has now been bringing highly positive results.

EAT IN MODERATION THIS DIWALI...

Well, it’s that time of the year again. Festival time, which means mithais, lots of eating out, rich food and sheer indulgence. Wonderful. But by the end of it, we are also wonderfully stuffed.

True, it’s just for this month, but we can make the best of the festive season, along with making the best of ourselves. We just need to know what to eat – and more important – how to eat it.You can and you must indulge. This is the time for it. But there’s a key to keep in mind – moderation With a little planning, you can eat out without blowing your diet

How? The trick is to eat small quantities of whatever you want to eat, and eat it in a balanced manner. It isn’t necessary to eat butter chicken or pasta in cream sauce every time you go out. Have that on one day, and juggle between salads and grilled / baked dishes, or just roti and seek kababs or tandoori chicken / paneer otherwise

Healthy starters

If you’re out for drinks and dinner, then have salads instead of peanuts with your drinks. “Peanuts, chips and so on are avoidable. Fresh cut salad like cucumber and carrots and celery with dips is better. It will fill up your stomach a little and help you not overeat
Deep fried appetisers are a complete no no. Boiled, broiled or roasted are better options. Add a soup to your meal. Not a creamy one but a clear broth that is healthy, filling and delicious.

Balanced Meals

Always select food that is either steamed, poached, roasted, broiled, boiled, grilled or baked.
Beware of any dish that is described on the menu with these words: cream sauce, butter, makhani, oil, au gratin, breaded, kofta, alfredo, battered or batter-dipped, crispy, cheesy, malai. These dishes are notoriously high in calories. Also, banish buffets. When we’re given more choices, we tend to eat more. Order a la carte. If you’re fond of Italian food, go for a tomato sauce-based pasta instead a cream-based one. Also, a pasta should not be your complete meal. Add grilled sandwich and some salad on the side. It will limit your flour and cream intake and will be a balanced meal.

Daily bread

A plain tandoori or roomali roti is the best bet with an Indian meal. Avoid lachcha parathas, stuffed rotis, naans and butter naans. There’s too much flour, ghee, butter or oil in those. If you must have it, have only one. But then have it with grilled or tandoori food and maybe just a little dal.

Sweat it out

Curtail your regular workout if you must, but exercise daily. Do some breathing and bending and stretching exercises for at least 10-15 minutes a day. It will help keep your metabolism going as usual. Start your day with a glass of lukewarm water and lemon. It helps your digestion and cleanses your stomach.

Multi meal course

Small meals at regular intervals will not only help you stop indulging, but also make sure you’re satiated. Eat smaller meals during the day if you’re dining out. Just be sure you don’t eat too sparingly so that you’re so famished by dinnertime that you overeat. Have a small, healthy snack in the evening to quell hunger if you’re going out for dinner

DIWALI for ALL...

Diwali is a festival of lights and much emphasis is placed on this aspect of the festival-in the lamps and firecrackers that brighten up the morning and evening skies. But care has to be taken to ensure that fireworks are handled in the proper manner. When it is children who are bursting crackers, it is essential that it be done under adult supervision. In this column, we deal with the various negative aspects that fireworks can have…

For children the preventives in homeopathy for allergy, respiratory complications from the toxic fumes of firecrackers and as healers for burns and injuries, work wonders. These medicines combined with a few adequate safety measures, could help add joy to this happy occasion.

Tips on choosing safe fireworks: It is extremely important to know the difference between a legal consumer firework and a dangerous explosive device. They can cause serious injury or even death. Stay away from anything that is not clearly labelled with the name of the item, the manufacturer's name and instructions for proper use.

Some of the precautionary measures to avoid mishaps during Diwali:

• Fireworks are not toys. They burn at approximately the same temperature as a household match and can cause burns, injuries and ignite clothing if used improperly.
• Never give fireworks to young children. Close, adult supervision of all fireworks activities is mandatory. Even sparklers can be unsafe if used improperly.
• Select and use only legal devices. Stay away from illegal explosives. Illegal explosive devices continue to cause serious injuries.
• Homemade fireworks are deadly. Never attempt to make your own devices and do not purchase or use any kits that are advertised for making fireworks. Mixing and loading chemical powders is very dangerous and can kill or seriously injure you. Leave the making of fireworks to the experts.

When lighting fire crackers:

- Light crackers in open spaces only.
- Use cotton and/or khadi clothing while lighting fire crackers. Wear close-fitting clothes of thick material instead of loose or flowing garments.
- Do not light any fire crackers in your own hand.
- Do not light crackers in closed tins or empty pipes.
- Maintain a safe distance from the fire crackers. Avoid bending over them.
- Try lighting noiseless crackers if you can. They are just as enjoyable and a delight to the eyes.
In case you suffer burns, hold the part affected under cold running water and take the patient to the hospital immediately.
- Make sure you keep a tub of water handy while lighting fire crackers.
- Flying fireworks - rockets, missiles, etc. should always be lighted in open grounds pointing straight up.
- Buy fireworks that are legally manufactured, and follow the caution or warning label in the carton indicating the method of firing, and precautions to be taken.
- Beware, fire crackers could cause you grievous injury.

Fire crackers could be a causative factor leading to numerous health hazards. Besides, they enhance noise and air pollution levels. The harmful chemicals emitted through smoke are known to cause asthma, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis and other respiratory problems. Moreover, the noise and dazzling light could cause optical as well as ENT - related problems. The blasting sounds caused by fire crackers which send the decibel levels soaring instantaneously could cause permanent or temporary impairment to the ear drums. All this is known to affect children, pregnant women, asthmatics and senior citizens much more than the rest of the population.

What are the problems that arise due to the noise generated during Diwali?

There are two types of problems induced by noise. First, is sudden exposure to loud noise, and the second is a continuous exposure to it like in the case of industrial workers. This could result in temporary deafness which is reversible. However, if the damage to ear tissue or perforation of the ear drums occurs then it could be cured only if the damage caused is not extensive. But, if the damage is severe then relative deafness could result that might well be of a permanent nature.

Which age group is the most affected?

An infant below one year of age is most vulnerable as the structures of the ear are very delicate. Besides, senior citizens are also quite vulnerable as the degenerative process brought on by ageing has already set in. Moreover, people with a heart condition, hypertension or hypotension and asthma could be faced with problems that could manifest as fatigue, headaches, irritability etc.

FOR RESPIRATORY COMPLICATION

Gunpowder, the basics ingredient in firecrackers, is largely made up of sulphur, which on burning, converts into sulphurdioxide. This is highly dangerous because, while in the atmosphere, this gas turns into extremely tiny particles which go and settle deep into the lung, turn acidic(sulphate acid), thereby resulting in great damage to the lung tissue, ultimately causing or aggravating upper or lower respiratory infection, cardio-respiratory diseases, etc.

- Avoid fireworks since these emit fumes and smoke which aggravate asthma.
- Put a wet mask over your nose and mouth before lighting crackers.
- Use crackers that release less fumes
- While using crackers, make sure children do not stand in the direction of the wind, otherwise the patient may inhale the smoke from the crackers and that in turn, may trigger an attack of asthma.

The following medicines- given approximately a week before and for a week after diwali-work particularly well to prevent the toxic or allergic effects of the smoke on the lungs and throat of children by strengthening their basic immunity and resistance levels:

1) Gun powder-30…3 pills daily morning and night. Or Sulphur-30…dosage as above.
2) Kali muraticum-3x…4tabs twice daily along with the above medicines.


H FOR HEALING:

Burns sustained due to firecrackers can be superficial or deep. Once the burns occur, do not panic. If your clothes have caught fire, instead of running, smother out the fire and remove the loose clothing. The rule is to stop, drop and roll, and try to extinguish the fire with whatever is available- water, blanket, etc. Pour tap water to cool the burnt part. If burns are extensive, avoid using cold water or ice as this may result in hypothermia. Water decreases the duration of the contact of heat and kills temperature. Keeping the affected part dipped in water for longer than a few minutes will increase the incidence of blistering of the skin. Homeopathy is especially effective in healing any degree of burns. If both the external and internal medicines are used immediately, the results are nothing short of astounding. Healing is much faster; the pain is relatively less, that too with none to heal any type of burns….


FOR EXTERNAL USE:

CANTHARIS-Q: Apply this liquid on the affected part with the help of cotton wool, 2-4 times a day. It reduces the pain considerably.
Once the blister opens up and forms an open wound, then use CALENDULA-Q(diluting it in 5 times the water) to dress the wound, once in 1-2 days till it heals.

FOR INTERNAL USE:

Arnica-200+ Cantharis-200:2 of each, 2-4 hourly.
Once the blister opens up, then replace cantharis 200 with Hypericum 200

How safe is your child this Diwali?

- Keep a watch when children are playing with fireworks. Ensure that they have fun the right and safe way. Adult supervision is a must.
- Do not allow children to keep fireworks in their pockets. Store them away from fire or any other heat source or light fireworks inside the house. Store them safely: in a closed metal box, somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children.
- Children should hold lighted sparklers away from their body.
- Ensure that your children does not engage in dangerous pranks such as throwing lighted crackers or sparklers at others, or try to make fireworks themselves.
- As far as possible avoid buying bombs for younger children. Sparklers, fountains and floor-circles are more attractive and do less damage.
- Diwali is a family festival and can be enjoyed by everyone. This is when families, relatives, friends and neighbours come together to celebrate. Just make sure, the Festival of Lights does not bring about darkness in your lives.

CAUTION: Since prevention is the best medicine, lighting of crackers should be done in an open space, and children should be made to play fireworks under the strict supervision of adults. A bucket of water and sand should always be kept handy.

I would call these pills as magic pills which has changed my life completely. I started Dr. Jayesh Sanghvi’s MET in my Class IX. I was always the child who would slog & burn the night candles, but my marks never reflected that. My basic problem was that I feared exams. The moment I would see the question paper I would forget everything I have learned. So next exam I would try even more hard, I had practically given up on playing, going out. But within 5 months of treatment I saw I could both study, play & score more marks. I managed to score a 92% in my Class X board exams. Thus my confidence in myself soared high.

I thank Dr. Sanghvi for giving me this MET program, which has changed my life marvelously. I was a person with very low concentration power, because of which I was not able to study well at all. I did a lot things to improve my concentration but did not get any brilliant results. Due to this, despite of me being a good student, I would lose out on my rank. This would always upset me. MET has really improved my concentration levels. It has made my life easy. Not only did I Successfully complete my Class 10, I continued taking this treatment for Class 12, saw fantabulous results thereafter in my IIT entrance tests too. I took the treatment for a span of 4 years & it helped me achieve my dream of getting into IIT.

In spite of not being on treatment since then I still am achieving laurels in my career. I owe Dr. Sanghvi greatest thanks for getting me where I am today.

A LITTLE CARE FOR A CLEAR COMPLEXION

These days with modern science being what it is, it can sometimes feel like technology has a solution for everything - or at least it soon will have. This is also the case with our skin where there are a multitude of miracle skin care products which can take years off you, make your skin darker or lighter or even more refined! Looking to miracle cures makes us forget the fundamentals of looking after our skin. viz:

1) Sun:
The UV rays contained in sunlight are very harmful for the skin and can also lead to cancer of the skin.
… Except the early morning sun’s rays (source of vitamin d) avoid any prolonged exposure of the body to them.
…. As facial skin is most sensitive cover it well from being exposed to sun.

2) Clean skin
Atmospheric pollutants like, smoke & dust from motor vehicles, industries and use of cosmetic products can clog the pores
… Use a good cleanser which suits your skin type for cleaning your skin after make- up.
… Splash face with cold water regularly.
… Avoid frequent use of soap

3) Hydrate your skin:
The next most important basic rule for young and healthy skin is to keep it moist. It’s more important during summer than in winter.
… Take adequate fluid intake, which includes water (8-12 glasses), juices, butter- milk, coconut water etc (1-2 times a day)
… Include enough of fruits & vegetables in the daily diet.

4) Other factors:
Our routine life surrounded by Stress, Worry & Tensions, often beyond our control
… Daily meditate for few minutes anytime during the day to negate the negative impact of mental or emotional stress. While meditating visualise yourself having a very-healthy & beautiful skin, by giving yourself the auto-suggestion [repeated ten times] “I have a healthy & beautiful skin”.

… Practice yoga or some physical exercise
… Adopt healthy habits & make sure you get enough sound sleep.

The Homeopathic Approach :

Homeopathy has some of the most effective remedies for skin-care.
The tendency to photo sensitivity, dry skin, acne, foul sweat etc can be altered through internal medication.

Serious conditions like skin cancer, psoriasis, eczema etc can be either improved or even cured, however chronic they may be.

Homeopathy basically believes that what normally is termed as the skin disease, is not the real disease,! It’s nature’s way of warning us through the least dangerous organ of the body [skin], that there’s something wrong within & we need to do something about it. It is only when the body’s immune systemweakens that the body becomes prone to a disease condition. Hence re-strengthening of the body’s immune forces helps fight & rid the disease condition.

HOMEOPATHY – YOUR BEAUTY AID...for ACNE

Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.

PRIMARY CAUSES:

Exactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary. Several factors are known to be linked to acne:

• FAMILY/GENETIC HISTORY. The tendency to develop acne runs in families. For example, school-age boys with acne often have other members in their family with acne as well. A family history of acne is associated with an earlier occurrence of acne and an increased number of retentional acne lesions.

• HORMONAL ACTIVITY, such as menstrual cycles and puberty. During puberty, an increase in male sex hormones called androgens cause the glands to get larger and make more sebum.

• Stress, through increased output of hormones from the adrenal (stress) glands, although modern tests have said otherwise and point to this not being a cause.

• Hyperactive sebaceous glands, secondary to the three hormone sources above.

• Accumulation of dead skin cells.

• Bacteria in the pores. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is the anaerobic bacterium that causes acne. In-vitro resistance of P. acnes to commonly used antibiotics has been increasing.

• Skin irritation or scratching of any sort will activate inflammation

Several hormones have been linked to acne: the androgens testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), as well as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I).

Symptoms of Acne:

There are two main types of acne: non-inflammatory and inflammatory.

i)In non-inflammatory acne, there are usually just a few whiteheads and blackheads on the face. A relatively mild type of acne, it can often be treated effectively with nonprescription medicines. The majority of people with acne have this type of acne.

ii)With inflammatory acne, the whiteheads become inflamed, and red pimples and pustules develop. In its most severe form, inflammatory acne can cause disfiguring cysts and deep, pitting scars of the face, neck, back, chest and groin.

Treatment of Acne:

Use ordinary hygiene on affected areas, washing your face once or twice daily with your usual soap or cleanser. Deodorant soaps may be used, but they are of no particular value for acne.
• Do not scrub or use a loofah. Friction makes acne worse.
• Do not pick or squeeze. This may worsen scarring.

HOMEOPATHY & ACNE:

Homeopathy which basically works to bring your body to a state of harmony, works at the deepest levels in the body to correct & set right the various imbalances, whether with the hormones or otherwise. Hence as these medicines work on the basic causative factors, not only do the acne [or any other skin condition] improve, but in due course of time the very tendency to repeated acne growth could be eradicated, there by often curing the condition for good.

The following medicines generally work quite well to bring back the beauty that one always longs for…


1… KALI SULPH – 6X = 4’tabs, twice daily along with the above medicines.

2… CALCAREA PHOS – 6X = 4’tabs, twice daily along with the above medicines.


NOTE: Intake of a lot of fluids, fresh fruits, salads, coupled with Pranayama & Meditation could help in a big way to improve the skin…

RESPIRATORY TREATMENT...

How the treatment works & It's duration:


During an attack of cold, cough or fever, in most cases strong drugs can be avoided and relief is usually quick.

With in 3-6 months, frequency, intensity or duration of respiratory infections reduce, as body's immunity develops.

After a course of 1-2 years, the respiratory system and overall immunity become much stronger, often resulting in a holistic cure.
Diseases Treated

Tendencies to all types of upper and lower respiratory infections like, Colds, Coughs, Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Primary Complex, Tonsillitis, Sinusitis, Rhinitis etc. can become overcome by our highly specialized form of treatment offered that works at the Constitutional-levels and hence rids the disease from it's deepest levels, even if genetic or hereditary.. This is the power of Homeopathy coupled with our vast experience.

What makes our treatment at Dr.J.V.S's Nature Clinic so special...?

1)It’s very-very child friendly.

2)It's most gentle, pleasant and pain free(sweet pills).

3)It's quick in relief & quick to cure.

4)It's non invasive, non violent & non-habit forming.

5)It's safe, and free from any short or long-term harmful effects.

6)It's strengthens the body's own defense system (immunity) to heal.

7)It's scientific & based on well proven age-old laws of nature.

8)It’s has no reaction or side effect when given along with any form of medicinal therapies.

We share with you few deductions from our two decades of clinical practice, study and research."Irrespective of the climate, country, cast or creed; this generation, though highly intelligent, is born with an equally poor immunity, making it prone to respiratory infections, genetic or otherwise, between birth to one year of age. By 3 to 5 years of age, they've taken all the drugs in the world that we may not have taken in our lifetime!"
