A closer look at untimely baldness in men

Hair loss in men is caused by Androgenetic alopecia. It is also known as male pattern baldness. Heredity, stress, prolonged illness and reactions of certain medications etc are few of the reasons for this. A genetic compassion to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) can shorten the life span of a hair follicle. These follicles then stop producing new hair. Thinning crown and a receding hairline is the most common symptoms. This pattern of hair loss further evolves on whole top area of the head, making a pattern of horseshoes. There are many pharma drugs and oils available to regrow them. Homeopathic remedies for hair fall are very successful in treating male pattern baldness.

What causes it? - Hair loss in men is generally triggered by growing age. It is very common after the age of 50. But shedding unusual amount of hair in early 20s is a matter of concern. Few people say that always wearing a cap or running fingers in hair can damage them. But it is not true. You protect your hair from sun and pollution by wearing a cap. How can a cap damage them? Running fingers in hair or brushing them circulates more blood in that area and promotes further growth.

How can you treat it?
- Technically, hair loss is not a serious health issue. It has a social impact. Baldness can make you look a few years older. You can prevent it if you start observing the symptoms at an early stage. Timely and proper treatment is necessary to stop hair fall. Homeopathy has a solution for almost every problem. Consult a homeopath and start treating the root cause of the problem. Homeopathic remedies for hair fall don’t have any negative effect. Regrown the hair through transplantation is also another option. Although it is a bit costly, but is 100% successful. In a span of six months, your hair starts to look natural.

Make lifestyle changes – Smoking has a significant role in hair loss. Stop smoking and see the difference yourself. Eat a well-balanced diet. Handle your hair with care. Use a mild shampoo to keep them clean. Maintain good hair hygiene. Avoid excessive use of chemical based products for styling. Hair loss can be treated with ayurvedic oils, medicines and homeopathic remedies. Choose the treatment carefully as most of the lucrative advertisements are shams. Regular massage can also help in getting stronger and full head of hair.

Is the overdose of homeopathic medicines safe?

Homeopathy is a branch of medical science which works on the principle of ‘like cures like’.  If the body is suffering due to particular element/substance, the same substance can be used in curing the disease. Homeopaths believe that the human body has the power to heal itself. It needs something to kick start the process. These homeopathic remedies give the kick start to this process. It is a holistic approach of treatment which is widely accepted across the world. But there are few disbelievers as well who spread rumors about the authenticity of these medicines. They compare these medicines with traditional drugs and claim things which are baseless.

An overdose of any drug can kill – Overdose of any pharma drug can kill a person. This is the reason that a warning is printed on the package as well. But this is not the case with homeopathic remedies. Critics have tried taking an overdose and nothing happened to them. Then they claimed that these medicines don’t work because their overdose is not harmful.  They don’t understand that homeopathy is not a chemical based drug. How can a natural substance dangerous? Making them understand this simple thing is as difficult as making the people believe that the earth is round.

Homeopathy is not a chemical drug - You need an elevated worldwide view to understand the philosophy behind homeopathy. As it is not made with chemicals, you can safely consume the overdose. Let me make my point clear here that this is the biggest advantage of this therapy. It is non-toxic and therefore non-dangerous too. These remedies are just diluted water with some active substance. It is the harmonious way of healing and you just can’t overindulge on harmony. You can drink a few drops to a few bottles of water at a time, but it will not harm your body.

Medicines should be safer to consume – Why we take medicines? Because we want to bring back the original health of our body. What if the same medicine produces ill effects after a bit of an overdose? This is actually happening with chemical based drugs. They are making people dead by suppressing the actual disease. They don’t treat the root cause in the rush to produce quick results. I don’t understand why are we in a hurry every time? Try homeopathic medicines and remedies to feel the difference.  Don’t let your body fight with chemicals alone.

Things to know if you are diabetic

Diabetes is a medical condition when the body either stops making insulin or resists the acceptance of existing insulin. The blood sugar level is very high for prolonged times which produces the symptoms of augmented hunger, thirst and frequent urination. Untreated diabetes can cause stroke, high blood pressure, eyesight damage, kidney failure and many other serious health issues. Both the types of diabetes are incurable. You can only control the blood sugar level by medicines and alternative remedies. A treatment that is not classified as western medical practice is called alternative treatments. Yoga, acupuncture, acupressure, hypnosis, biofeedback, relaxation, massage, herbal remedies, chiropractic treatments, guided imagery and aromatherapy are few of them.

Why does it happen? – When the pancreas does not produce insulin or our body cells do not respond to the existing insulin, diabetes develops. The former is called Type I and later is called Type II diabetes. The causes of Type I are still not known. Type II happens because of lack of exercise and excess body weight. The third type is gestational diabetes in which the baby inherits it from the mother. Some women develop a high blood sugar level in pregnancy without previous history. Timely treatment is required in all cases. Alternative medicines for diabetes can be helpful in successful and effective treatment.

Monitor the food you eat – It is very important to monitor the food that you eat to control diabetes. It should be a perfect balance of nutrition and supplements. Alternative medicines are basically natural cures and simple home remedies for diabetes. These remedies revolve around the right foods to eat. There are a wide variety of delicious and healthy meals. Diabetes super foods should have low glycemic index and should be rich in calcium, fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, C & E. Beans, green leafy vegetables, fish, nuts, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits, tomatoes, berries, whole grain, fat free milk and yogurt are considered to be super foods for diabetic people. Include them in your routine diet.

Can you count on alternative treatments? – Whatever secondary treatment you choose, don’t discontinue the primary treatment. Alternative medicines for diabetes might be risky if they are not prescribed by a doctor. It is a complex and serious medical situation, so self treatment is strictly not advisable. You should take expert’s advice before following home remedies and treatments. Healthy diet, proper physical exercise and maintaining average body weight are required to keep control on diabetes.

Keep your scalp flake free

Have you ever wondered why there are white flakes visible on your dark shirt without any snow fall?  Yes, it is confirmed that you have dandruff. Any skin condition like eczema, psoriasis or dry scalp can cause it.  It is a myth that dandruff is caused by dryness in scalp only. Excessive oily scalp is equally responsible for it. These skin conditions cause the cells to bunch and fall off in the form of flakes. It is very embarrassing socially. There are hundreds of cosmetic treatments available, but some of them are way too expensive to even try. The good news is that you can control it with simple and natural treatments.

What is dandruff? - These flakes are actually dead skin cells, which fall occasionally. The more you scratch, the more they fall.  A number of skin conditions can make the scalp flaky. Dryness on the scalp is the most important cause of the flaky skin. Heredity, too much consumption of alcohol, lack of nutritions, stress, weather changes and excessive intake of super sugary and salty foods may cause dandruff.  Some hair care products may cause dryness too.  Curling, heating and styling your hair often can result in split ends and dryness. It can also cause itching or other scalp problems.

How to treat it? - A very inexpensive treatment is to use anti-dandruff shampoo two times a week. It helps in washing off the dirt. Choose the shampoo which has selenium sulfide, pyrithione zinc, ketoconazole or salicylic acid as a main ingredient.  To stop the further formation, you have to give internal nutrition.  Massage your scalp with olive oil at least once in a week. It will remove all the dryness in the scalp. It actually opens the pores and makes hair stronger. Don’t overdo oiling. Wash your hair after 30 minutes of oiling. Too much oil can also cause yellow patches on scalp.

Important changes in your lifestyle are required – Drink lots of water. People do not drink much water in winters and this becomes the main reason for the dryness.  Moving in and out in heated buildings can suck the moisture from your skin. Keep yourself hydrated in all seasons.  If you are hydrated then your body will make new cells and your skin and hair will look good.  Don’t wash hair with hot water.  Brush your hair close to scalp daily. It will gently massage the area and help to loosen the dead skin cells.

Is there any permanent cure available for diabetes?

Diabetes is a multifaceted group of diseases and related to metabolic disorders. The digested food breaks down into starch and sugar. Glucose is a kind of sugar that goes through our bloodstream. Our body cells absorb glucose with the help of insulin and convert food to energy. When the body doesn’t make enough insulin or doesn’t use insulin effectively, this condition is called diabetes. Excessive glucose level can damage blood vessels. It can lead to a stroke, total blindness, kidney problems, depression and heart problems. Although it can’t be treated permanently, but can be controlled by diabetes homeopathy treatments.

Why it has become a common disease?

Diseases of pancreas, infections and heredity are a few of the causes of diabetes. Obesity is also a great contributor to this disorder. Reduce your weight to maintain blood sugar level.  Gestational diabetes develops in a child from birth. You can’t do much about this. Destruction of beta cells in the body is the major symptom of this metabolic disorder. The affected person has to take insulin every day to survive. Physical inactivity is the major reason for insulin resistance in the body. Due to sedentary lifestyle, higher numbers of cases are being reported in past ten years.

Long term solution for diabetes

Eat meals at regular intervals to maintain the glucose level in blood. Carry a healthy snack with you every time to skip surviving on empty calories. Stress affects blood sugar levels. Deep breathing, biofeedback and muscle relaxation can help in relieving emotional stress. Food supplements are not beneficial in every case. They might interfere with your medication. Consult your doctor before taking any supplements. Manage your blood sugar level close by to normal. Take the medicine regularly and keep checking blood sugar levels. Diabetes homeopathy treatment can help in controlling it to a great extent.  Exercise can help you burn calories and maintain glucose in blood. Balance your food intake with stress management, medication, exercise and appropriate sleeping habits.

Can diabetes go away forever?

With the advancements in the medical field and technology, we believe that there must be any permanent cure for diabetes. But you will be sad to know that there is not even a single clinically proven method to treat diabetes type 1 or 2 permanently.  Although there are many treatments available but none of them have permanent effects. In Homeopathy, the treatment for diabetes has little or no side effects.  Follow a strict diet, good sleeping habits and exercise schedule to manage it.  Learn to relax. These simple things can make big differences.
