A 38 years old patient came with the complaint of discrete eruptions, diagnosed as psoriasis. He has been suffering from this problem since past 25 years. Took several medications but nothing helped. The severity of the skin eruptions on the hands started increasing since few months which ultimately was disturbing his work life.

During the case taking he described that his skin feels as if stretched. The skin has become hard and dry along with itching of the patches. He said that I always keep wondering what other people might be thinking about the eruptions on my face. If people don't know what is psoriasis, they will think it is contagious. When the patches increase in severity and spread to other parts of the body then i feel depressed, future looks challenging due the skin condition. Because of my skin problem i decided not to get married.
Nobody should get affected by such disease.

The feeling of being outcast and unfortunate. Mental grief because he was feeling it is difficult to recover. Based on this he was prescribed Hura which showed significant improvement in his skin condition.

Psoriasis is a common disease of the immune system that manifests itself on the skin. Homeopathy is highly effective option for managing and curing psoriasis as it treats the whole person, believing all the symptoms are interrelated and select a medicine which most closely covers them all.

At the start of an HIV pandemic 40 years ago, testing positive was as good as sounding a death knell due to lack of effective treatment for HIV. While cure is still out of reach, HIV is now looked upon as a chronic illness requiring lifelong therapy. With research and development, early diagnosis and treatment initiation and potent medicines it is now possible to manage HIV and live a relatively longer and healthier life. Left untreated, may advance into full-blown AIDS sooner in patients who are inconsistent with their treatment.

Despite the great strides being made, most people living with HIV face a lot of social discrimination such as exclusion from religious activities, family & social gatherings, verbal & physical assault, sexual rejection, forced into changing place of residence, loss of work opportunity, breach of confidentiality rights etc. This further causes low self-esteem, shame, guilt, withdrawal from therapy, suicidal intentions and subsequent isolation from the mainstream society.

Homeopathy can play a significant role in improving mental & emotional health and boosting up immunity, making them less prone to opportunistic infections such as TB, pneumonia, thrush, herpes, etc.

Several years ago, we at Anand Wellness, were approached by a young man who harboured political ambitions and wished to go as high as possible in his political career. He was gripped with self-doubt having recently tested positive. Feared that his HIV status may be disclosed to his adversaries leading to disgrace in the society which would in turn impact his ascension in power. He was responsible for raising funds and declaring electoral candidates but was suspicious that they may betray him and join the rival party. He suffered from painful mouth ulcers, increased salivation, diarrhoea, burning and bleeding piles. Based on this he was prescribed Cinnabaris with significant relief in his symptoms. He continues to keep good health with regular followups and is a popular name in the political circles.

On the occasion of Zero HIV Stigma Day, we at Ananda Wellness, would like to empower patients to live a fulfilling life as illustrated by the above case.

World Vitiligo Awareness Day is observed on June 25th, it aims to increase awareness about vitiligo, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigment, leading to white patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment (melanin), are destroyed or stop functioning.

Signs and Symptoms:

1. White Patches: The primary symptom of vitiligo is the appearance of white or light-colored patches on the skin. These patches can occur anywhere on the body but are more common on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, hands, and feet
2. Symmetry: Often, the white patches are symmetrically distributed on the body.
3. Premature Graying: Hair in the affected areas, including on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, may turn white or gray prematurely.
4. Mucous Membranes: Discoloration can also affect the mucous membranes inside the mouth and nose.

Causes:

The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development:
1. Autoimmune Response: The immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys melanocytes.
2. Genetics: There may be a hereditary component, as vitiligo sometimes runs in families.
3. Environmental Triggers: Factors such as sunburn, stress, or exposure to industrial chemicals might trigger or exacerbate the condition.
4. Neurogenic Factors: A potential connection with the nerves in the affected area could influence the loss of pigment.
5. Oxidative Stress: Accumulation of harmful free radicals within melanocytes can lead to their destruction.

Vitiligo can significantly impact a person’s psychological and emotional well-being due to its effect on appearance.
Homeopathic remedies are tailored to the individual, considering their unique symptoms, emotional state, and health. It addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of vitiligo.

We , at Ananda Wellness, with the help of homeopathic treatment aim at boosting the body’s natural healing processes and improve overall well-being. As vitiligo involves autoimmune factors, homeopathy aims to balance and strengthen the immune system.

Arthritis is a widespread condition that affects millions of people globally, characterized by inflammation and pain in the joints. There are various types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common. Osteoarthritis involves the degeneration of joint cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness, primarily in the elderly. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the joints, causing chronic inflammation, pain, and potential joint deformity. Raising awareness about arthritis is crucial as it helps in early detection, management, and improving the quality of life for those affected.

Homeopathy offers a complementary approach to managing arthritis, focusing on holistic treatment and individualized care. The scope of homeopathy in treating arthritis lies in its potential to alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being without the side effects often associated with conventional medications. Homeopathy can be particularly beneficial for patients with mild to moderate arthritis or those seeking to complement their existing treatment plans.

We at Ananda Wellness along with homeopathic treatment also advise the patients to do Yoga, physiotherapy and occupational therapy to alleviate the symptoms and provide them relief in a holistic way.

Sleep-wake cycle is an integral part of our circadian rhythms. Restful sleep has a restorative function in our body and is not only important for conservation of energy and growth but also essential for memory, cognition, concentration, productivity and performance.

Any long-term disturbance in the sleep-wake pattern can have adverse health outcomes such as mood swings, migraines, impaired immunity, obesity, hormone disturbances, higher levels of inflammation causing increased risk of heart disease etc. On an average we need 6-8 hours of sleep per day, however, most of us are sleep deprived due to long working hours, working in different shifts, late night eating, increased caffeine/alcohol/nicotine intake closer to bedtime, underlying breathing disorders related to sleep, poor sleep ambience, sedentary habits etc.

Another concern in this digital age is the exponential increase in average screen time in all age groups in the form of TV/laptops/tablets/smartphones which emit artificial blue light. Prolonged exposure to blue light in the evening can inhibit our sleep patterns by suppressing the production of melatonin, a natural hormone which is secreted by the pineal gland situated deep in our brain and is crucial in synchronizing the sleep-wake cycle and other diverse circadian rhythms.

We, at Ananda Wellness, were approached by parents of a 5-year-old boy who was doing well under our treatment for autism for suddenly developing trouble falling asleep as well as maintaining sleep. He would fall asleep with great difficulty at 1:30 am and wake up at 3:30 am, throwing tantrums until parents switched on his favourite music or allowed him to watch car racing videos. Careful analysis revealed that he was fascinated by racing cars and flashy lights on a recent vacation and was seeking the same sensory experience by watching video games on repeat mode. He was prescribed a homeopathic remedy prepared from Melatonin which helped restore his normal sleep-wake pattern. On the occasion of World Sleep Day, we at Ananda Wellness, would like to highlight the role of homeopathy in optimizing sleep health and thus overall wellbeing.

12.12.12 was the day the United Nations endorsed a resolution on Universal Health Coverage with the idea that everyone should have access to quality and affordable health care.

The importance of a robust and reliable healthcare system has been witnessed by one and all during the testing times of COVID-19.

Throughout the world and especially in the 3rd world countries, the gap between the health care provider and the receiver is still very large. With the growing population, the increasing demand for sustainable healthcare is a big challenge for all.

Homeopathy as a system of medicine has stood the test of time and has proven to be one of the most sustainable, reliable and affordable healthcare solutions for public health at large.

It's role in prevention and treatment during the times of COVID-19 has also proven its credibility as a system of medicine for public health.

We at Ananda Wellness strive to keep this spirit of Universal Health for All alive by focusing on all the aspects of the individual's health and that of society at large.

Parents of a 7-year-old boy sought treatment for his seborrheic dermatitis along with social anxiety and poor immunity. He was bothered by the appearance of dry patches on his scalp along the hairline, under his eyes, margins of eyelids, behind the ears and on his chest with scaling and flaking of skin. He had intense redness and itchiness of skin triggered by any emotional stress, sweating on physical exertion and in cold dry weather. Scratching would lead to burning and bleeding followed by crusting and hypopigmentation of skin.

He was an inherently shy and sensitive child with extreme separation anxiety and fear of strangers but became more self-conscious when he started attending school post covid and his classmates asked him about his skin complaints.

Quarrels between parents made him anxious. He was scared of authority figures. He cried if dad was tough on him while taking up his studies. If he forgot to carry his HW book to school he would start crying even before the teacher scolded him. He was quite organized and adhered to his daily routine. He was worried about his teacher’s feedback on his performance. He had difficulty choosing toys or clothes to wear. Hugged his mom at night as he had nightmares about ghosts. Followed his grandma's advice seriously to pray twice a day to overcome his fear of ghosts. He was quite money conscious for his age, checked price of the toy he liked and told his mom to buy only if affordable.
Based on his sensitivity to reprimands, yielding disposition, anxiety about health and money matters, seeking approval from family through his performance and conscientiousness along with characteristic dry, itchy and scaly skin, we prescribed Calcarea silicata, which cleared his skin completely within 6 months and helped restore his confidence. He is less sensitive to reprimands and has become more expressive both at home and school.
This case spotlights how homeopathic medicines attenuate sensitivity to psychological and environmental triggers responsible for producing inflammatory and hyperimmune responses and thus help cure patients suffering from chronic skin conditions."

A woman aged 32 years consulted us for chronic psoriasis. The patient had presented with itchy skin eruptions on the extremities and the back which had started spreading all over the body.

These skin eruptions bothered her a lot and affected her functioning too
as she was a doctor by profession. Writing a medical prescription would make her feel less confident, even though the patients never commented on her skin because she covered and hid it to the best of her ability at most times.
Along with this she was also a mother of twin daughters so she always felt a lack of support from her in-laws who would often leave them and stay at their home town. It was a very formal relationship much to her displeasure, but she never voiced her feelings. On further probing into the activities she desired, she shared about her keen desire to celebrate birthdays of her immediate family members at orphanages as she always felt sympathetic towards orphaned kids.

Further talk regarding orphaned kids, led her to share her own childhood during which she felt distanced and unloved by her family members but these emotions never found expression. Her other siblings felt loved and cared for.

Towards the end of her session she mentioned to us about a dream in which she had seen her grandfather who was unable to meet her as he couldn't find the way to her house. He looked sad and lost. She was very close to him while he was alive.

Considering few of these features she was prescribed Magnesium Sulphate which is the orphan archetype remedy in homeopathy.
The outcome was very satisfying-
within a month almost all of her eruptions had cleared. She became happier and was able to set respectful boundaries.
Homeopathy promotes recovery from psoriasis swiftly and safely without any adverse effects. Moreover, it heals deep emotional traumas as well.

A case of 53 yrs old male, known diabetic since 8yrs with a history of chronic alcohol abuse. He presented with inflammation in pancreas and bile duct obstruction resulting in jaundice.
Patient was complaining of constipation, a sensation of something stuck, scleral icterus, dark yellow urine, weakness, itching of the eyes, vomiting, reduced appetite, heartburn and backache radiating to the abdominal region.
On investigation liver enzymes were completely deranged.
According to the endocrinologist he required immediate stenting but patient was reluctant and consulted us.
Case was quite complex due to involvement of gallbladder, pancreas and liver.

Besides this the patient mentioned about some on going issues with his relatives and at workplace which had developed the feeling in him that people have harmful intentions against him. This would result into revengeful thoughts. But while connected to his spiritual energies he felt that his guru is with him and he would be forgiving. Though in certain situations he would have a conflict in his mind between his reason and his will. This had affected his confidence severely.

Based on the above he was prescribed Anacardium along with Cardus Marinus Q as an organ specific liver remedy.
Post treatment there was not only significant relief in his symptoms but also positive changes in the lab tests.

On World Hepatits Day we at Ananda Wellness would like to spread awareness about hepatitis and encourage homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy is useful as a preventive and also as a curative treatment for hepatitis. No two individuals having hepatitis display the same symptoms. Homeopathy takes into account such subtleties.
