India is Diabetes’ capital of the world in the latest surveys. It is estimated that over 40 million of those with Diabetes are currently in India and that by 2025 that number will grow to 70 million. In other words every 5th person with Diabetes will live in India.
The disease has many types depending on the cause like:
• Type l – results when the body is unable to produce insulin due to genetic defects. These patients have to be given artificial insulin through injection. Age may be too early like early childhood.
• Type ll – When insulin is not taken properly by the cells due to some changes in cell structure.
• Gestational - When blood sugar rises in pregnancy and may be proceed after delivery also.
• Congenital Diabetes - Genetic inability in insulin secretion.
• Steroid Diabetes - Long term use of glucocorticosteroid.

CLEAR ACNE WITH HOMOEOPATHY

Acne is a skin condition that causes pimples or "zits." This includes whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflamed patches of skin .It occur when tiny holes on the surface of the skin become clogged. These holes are called pores. These pores open to a follicle. A follicle contains a hair and an oil gland. The oil released by the gland helps remove old skin cells and keeps our skin soft. When glands produce too much oil, the pores can become blocked. Dirt, bacteria, and cells build up. The blockage is called a plug or comedone. If the top of the plug is white, it is called a whitehead. If the top of the plug is dark, it is called a blackhead .If the plug breaks open, swelling and red bumps occur. Acne that is deep in your skin can cause hard, painful cysts. This is called cystic acne.
Acne is most common in teenagers, but anyone can get acne, even babies. Three out of four teenagers have some acne. Hormonal changes may cause the skin to be more oily. Acne affects mostly skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory with redness and pain, but acne can also manifest in non- inflammatory forms. The tendency to develop acne runs in families. While the connection between acne and stress has been debated, scientific research indicates that increased acne severity is significantly associated with increased stress levels. Greasy or oily cosmetic and hair products may trigger the eruptions. Research shows that chocolate, nuts, and greasy foods cause acne. And diets high in refined sugars may be related to acne.
Certain strains of bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus epidermidis has been universally discovered to play some role in acne. These bacteria are always present on normal skin. Therefore, improving the skin’s resistance to infection is important. Most cases of acne can be resolved through hygiene and nutrition. Remedies may be helpful during flare-ups, but a constitutional remedy, prescribed by an experienced homeopath, is the most appropriate way to deal with severe or persistent acne. Homeopathic treatment will stimulate the body’s own natural healing ability which will help remove toxins, rebalance skin PH, will improve circulation of nutrients to the skin and finally soothe and moisturize the skin for a spotless glow. In addition to healing existing lesions, it will forbid new lesions from forming, prevent scarring and also minimize the psychological stress caused by Acne. The symptoms listed against each medicine may not be directly related to this disease because in homeopathy general symptoms and constitutional indications are also taken into account for selecting a remedy.
Kali bromatum is good for acne on the face, neck and shoulder especially in hyperaesthetic, nervous females.
Antimonium crudum is indicated for small red pimples on face, acne in drunkards with gastric derangements, increased thirst and white-coated tongue.
Antimonium tartaricum is given in obstinate cases, with tendency to postulation.
Berberis aquifolium is useful where the skin is rough and the acne persistent. In
Asterias rubens pimples are majorly seen on the face at the age of puberty.
Belladonna has eruptions with alternate redness and paleness of the skin. Skin is dry, hot and swollen, pustules on face. Face is red, bluish-red, hot, swollen, and shining.

SINUSITIS AND HOMOEOPATHY
Sinusitis is an infection of sinuses, caused due to any allergy or bacteria, fungus or virus infestation. Sinuses are the moist air spaces within the bones of the face around the nose. The frontal sinuses are located in the area near the eyebrows; the maxillary sinuses are located inside the cheekbones; the ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes; and the sphenoid sinuses are present behind the ethmoid sinuses. When we're healthy, our sinuses are filled with air, making our facial bones less dense and much lighter in weight. Sinuses also play a role in how our voices sound. It is generally seen that if someone has a cold the sinuses get inflame.
When the nasal congestion (stuffiness) associated with the common cold or allergies doesn't allow the sinuses to drain properly, bacteria get trapped and lead to secondary infection in sinuses.
An acute attack of sinusitis last for 4 weeks, the symptoms might be confused with upper respiratory tract infection and the cause may be either bacterial or viral infection .If the symptoms continue longer till 10-12 wks then it is termed as sub- acute and longer than this is termed as chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis, by definition, lasts longer than three months and can be caused by many causes like prolonged rhinitis, nasal polyps, and deviated nasal septum. Symptoms of chronic sinusitis may include nasal congestion, facial pain, headache, night-time coughing, an increase in previously minor or controlled asthma symptoms, general malaise, thick green or yellow discharge, feeling of facial 'fullness' or 'tightness' that may worsen when bending over, dizziness, aching teeth, and foul smell from mouth. Each of these symptoms has multiple other possible causes, which should be considered and investigated as well. Unless complications occur, fever is not a feature of sinusitis. Often chronic sinusitis can lead to reduced sense of smell .In a small number of cases, acute or chronic maxillary sinusitis is associated with a dental infection. Vertigo, lightheadedness, and blurred vision may be associated symptoms but are not typical in chronic sinusitis and other causes should be investigated.
During sinusitis due to nasal blockage the best position to avoid breathlessness is lying head up with at least two pillows under the neck .The patients are advised to inhale steam and gargle at least once a day. Intake of water should be increased and balanced diet with good amount of roughage and fruits is advised. The patients should avoid sour and fried food.

Some specific Homoeopathic medicines work wonderfully in curing the disease (but Homoeopathic principle doesn’t allow prescribing medicine on single symptom of disease, rather the case has to be treated as a whole.)
• Calcarea Sulphurica: Headache with thick, yellowish, pus like secretion, one sided discharge from nose, edges of nostrils sore.
• Hydrastis: Thick, yellowish, tenacious expectoration.
• Mercurius Solubilis: Nasal discharge is very offensive, cannot lie on right side, and cough with yellow mucopurulent expectoration, worse night and warmth of bed, catarrh with chilliness.
• Sticta: Dry, hacking cough during night, pulsation from right side of sternum down to abdomen, worse towards evening and when tired, throat raw.
• Hepar Sulph:Nasal congestion, choking cough, dry hoarse cough worse whenever any part of the body gets cold or uncovered. Some other medicines like Arsenic alb, Kali Bichromicum, Lemna Minor, Silicea etc

HAIR LOSS AND HOMOEOPATHY

Diffuse Hair Loss or Alopecia Areata is a hair loss condition characterized by hair loss in well defined area, any hair-bearing surface can be affected, but the most noticeable surface is the scalp. In today’s scenario this is a major cosmetic disorder noticed in males and females.
Hair is made of a type of protein called keratin. Most people lose about 50 to 100 hair a day that is considered to be normal as the hair grow back in the same follicle on your head. A gradual thinning of the hair is natural in both men and women with aging. Men can begin losing their hair as early as 20-30 yrs of age. A receding hairline and gradual disappearance of hair from the crown is called male pattern baldness. It is mostly seen either as frontal hair loss or falling of hair at the top of the scalp. Most women don't have thinning of hair till their 30-35 or later. In women, female pattern baldness is typically a general thinning over the entire scalp, with the most hair loss at the crown.
Although hereditary plays a major role in hair fall but there are many things that aggravate the problem of hair loss. The major ones are:
Stress is the root cause of any problem and the hair loss problem is also associated with stress.
Severe or prolonged illness of about 2 to 3 months. Any major surgery also leads to hair loss.
Hair loss also occurs because of disbalance in hormones. Like overactive or underactive thyroid glands leads to hair fall. If any male or female hormones such as androgens or estrogens are out of balance the hair fall occurs.
Baby's delivery in mother also leads to hair loss.
Intake of strong medicines causes hair loss.
Major hair loss occurs because of some fungal infection and diabetes.
Other unnatural causes for premature hair loss may be: bleaching, dyeing, permanent waves, tight bandaging, blow drying, hot curlers, using hair picks and other chemical preparations can contribute to overall thinning by making hair weak and brittle and by causing the hair follicles to scar.
In many patients the hair grows with proper care when the source of the damage is removed. But severe damage to the scalp or follicles can cause permanent bald patches. Thus a good lifestyle with balanced diet and regular exercise can help in the regrowth of the hair follicles. A high protein diet like chicken, egg white, milk products and soya products are good for hair growth. Certain precautions have to be taken like: Always use a natural shampoo or soap to clean the hair. As most soaps and shampoos have chemicals, they might be the cause of your problem. Oiling and massaging of scalp is very beneficial for stopping the hair loss. Rub your scalp vigorously after washing the hair. It increases the blood circulation, and activates the sebaceous glands. Take the oil that contains vitamin E. Vitamin E prevents the hair fall and reduces the brittleness of hair and also cure the dry and flaky skin.
There are very good Homoeopathic medicines available for both external use like tinctures to be added in oil for massages: Arnica montana, Thuja occidentalis, Pilocarpus microphyllus (Jaborandi), Cantharis ; and internally to be taken as medicines: Flouricum acidum , Lycopodium , Silicea, Natrum muriaticum .But all the medicines should be taken under the guidance of a qualified Homoeopathic practitioner.
