Facts about female dysfunction or impotence

Dysfunction in male and females is very different.  You can’t ignore the complexities. A few years ago, the term ‘female dysfunction’ didn’t exist. There were not any theories to match the symptoms of male and female dysfunctions. But the scientists constantly gave it a try and came up with a few theories. A woman’s sexual rejoinder is more qualitative rather than quantifiable. It is not possible to come up with the criteria as it can’t be measured objectively. Various health organizations have come up with some common standards to identify and treat impotence in women with drugs and homeopathic remedies.

What is sexual dysfunction? – Any problem during the sexual cycle that prevents the satisfactory experience is termed as sexual dysfunction. It can happen in any of the four phases of a sexual activity – exhilaration, plateau, orgasm and resolution. As per a study, about 40% of women and 31% of men experience it, but most of them hesitate to discuss about it. It can be caused by physical or psychological problems. Diabetes, hormonal imbalance, heart disease, kidney disease and some drugs affect the libido. Stress, anxiety, problems in a relationship and performance anxiety can also make the situation worse.

How does it affect women? – Low sexual desire or interest in sex is the most important symptom. Medical conditions and treatments, hormonal changes, depression, stress, fatigue and pregnancy can decrease the desire to have sex. Care for children, routine sexual activities and boredom can contribute to lack of excitement. Inadequate vaginal lubrication can make you unable to arouse physically. Absence of sexual climax or orgasm can be caused by this inability. This can be treated with homeopathic remedies for impotence. Lack of experience, childhood abuse, sexual trauma and guilt can cause the inability to orgasm. Painful intercourse can also decrease the interest in sexual activities.

Diagnosis and Treatment- Physical exams and through examination of symptoms is required to diagnose the condition. An evaluation of your experience about sex will help the doctor understand the problem easily. Ovarian cysts, pelvic mass, poor lubrication, sexually transmitted diseases and sexual phobia can affect the condition. Homeopathic remedies for impotence can cure these physical problems effectively. The ideal approach to treat female dysfunction is collaboration between sex therapist, doctor and the woman because most of the reasons are psychological. Erotic materials can be used to enhance the stimulation. An education about sexual behaviors and responses is required to overcome the anxieties.

Is the testosterone deficiency related to poor health?

Testosterone is the male sex hormone which is found in reptiles, birds and mammals. It is also found in the ovaries of females and adrenal glands. It plays an important role in the development of testis and prostate in men. It also affects the growth of body hair, bones and muscles. There have been a number of studies conducted on the relationship between testosterone and the man’s health.  Diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome are related to testosterone deficiency in some or the other way. Although the low testosterone is not the main cause of these health disorders, but the connections are interesting.

It can be responsible for male impotency- Depression and Erectile dysfunction (ED) are also caused by its lower levels. In ED, either the person is not able to ejaculate or not able to hold it for longer times. It can happen to anybody. This affects the person psychologically and emotionally. The ED treatment can be done with pharma drugs and the homeopathic medicines. It is related to lower testosterone levels and needs to be cured to come out of this situation. Surgery, implants and drugs can be used to cure the problem. Emotional support and counseling are the one of the effective ways to treat erectile dysfunction.

Diabetes affects the male health – It has been proved that the men with lower testosterone are prone to develop diabetes later because they need to produce more insulin to maintain the blood sugar. Testosterone helps in absorbing more blood sugar than insulin. It has not been confirmed that out of both, which problems cause another. But it is sure that they are linked interestingly. As per a study, the men with this deficiency have 2.1 times higher chances of developing diabetes. There are various homeopathic Ed treatments available to treat the condition.

The link between obesity, metabolic syndrome and low testosterone – Obese men are likely to have low testosterone and the vice versa is also true. Fat cells lower the testosterone level by metabolizing it to estrogen. Obesity also reduces a protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) which carries it to blood. Weight loss and homeopathic Ed treatment can help you achieve the desire to sex back. Waistline obesity, abnormal cholesterol levels and high blood sugar increase the risk of stroke. This is called metabolic syndrome. It has mixed effect on arteries. The arteries can be harder. A certain amount of testosterone is required in blood to maintain the good health.

All about high blood pressure (hypertension)

High or low blood pressure can be a sign of other serious health problem.  As per a survey, one out of four adults has high blood pressure and almost one third are unaware about it. The very big reason behind this is that it doesn’t have any symptoms most of the times. You just need to be aware and get the readings often to catch hold of the situation on time. The heart pumps blood to the arteries and creates a pressure. Constantly elevated pressure in arteries can be termed as hypertension. It can be cured with allopathic as well as homeopathic remedies for blood pressure.

Why excessive pressure is bad? -  Constant excessive force can scar and damage the arteries. The major organs of the body like heart, brain, kidneys and eyes are at the risk of permanent damage in this case. It can also lead to total/ partial blindness, kidney failure, heart failure and stroke. The number of untimely deaths worldwide is increasing due to this. In 90% of the cases, it is very difficult to know the reason behind elevated pressure. The pressure within arteries can also rise due to endocrine disorder. Homeopathic remedies for blood pressure are safe for any age group.

Who can be at risk? – As I already told you that there are not any scientifically proven causes for this health condition. Doctors have accumulated few factors which can put you at the risk of developing it. As you grow older, the chances to develop hypertension increase.  Obesity is another major cause which you cannot ignore. If you have a family history of high blood pressure, you are at risk of developing it. Smoking and heavy drinking increases the pressure of blood. Sedentary lifestyle and excessive consumption of sugar and salt can put you at the risk of developing this condition.

How to treat? - Now you can figure out one of the possible reasons. The next step is how you can deal with this. First and foremost rule is that monitor the blood pressure and keep it under control. Consult your doctor if you find any abnormal readings. Blood pressure can be kept under control with medicines and homeopathic remedies. Get moving with healthy diet and active workouts. Say a big no to fatty junk foods and carbonated drinks. Eat fruits, whole grain, nuts, vegetables and low fat dairy products. Lose the extra weight. Be happy and stay away from stress.

Do you know about pre-diabetes?


Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the medicines and precautions are to be taken lifelong. Type 1 diabetes has no cure. The patient has to take dosages of insulin on a regular basis. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by changing diet, regular workouts and alternative medicines. Gestational diabetes has ill effects on infants, not much on the mother. After delivery, the body starts to heal itself. Depending upon the degree of effect, it may be healed completely. There are natural food supplements available in market to ease gestational diabetes.

What is Pre-diabetes? – The majority of the people with type 2 diabetes have pre-diabetes.  It means their blood sugar level is higher than normal but not high enough to come under diabetic tag. This is a stage when the body starts resisting to insulin.  Don not takes this condition lightly. At this stage also, the cells of the circulatory system and heart are affected. It is a warning that your body is getting affected and you are soon going to be diabetic. Consult your doctor and start medication right away.

Doctors can determine by the tests whether you have pre-diabetes, diabetes or neither of them.  If the results of A1C test are more than 6.5%, it means you are diabetic. The numbers between 5.7% and 5.99% shows you are pre-diabetic. If the results of the fasting plasma glucose test are more than 126mg/dl, it means you are diabetic. The numbers between 100mg/dl and 125.99 mg/dl shows that you are pre-diabetic.  If the results of the oral glucose tolerance test are above 200 mg/dl, it means you are diabetic.

Most of the diabetes drugs are given to lower the sugar level in blood.  These are harmless. But with growing age, it becomes difficult for patient’s body to bear the effects of them.  Sometimes doctors prescribe them alternate medicines for diabetes. If the dose of insulin is high, the person can collapse.  If sulfonylurea (alternative drugs) is too high, the person can be unconscious or even dead. It is not always easy that how much medicine and at what time it is required by the adult patients.

Quick fixes for healthy hair and scalp

Dryness in the scalp can happen anytime round the year. But it is most common during winters. White loose powdery flakes in the hair are the common symptoms of this. The sebaceous glands produce oil for scalp. Due to extreme climate changes, not drinking enough water or any scalp problems these glands are dehydrated and not produce enough natural oils. Some people confuse this with dandruff. Dandruff is caused by yeast like fungus and grows very fast. The dead skin cells start to shed from the scalp and make it itchy. The mild inflammation is irritating and socially embarrassing.

Natural oils can treat the condition- Use natural oils to fight the dryness in the scalp. The oils which absorb easily in the scalp are highly recommended. Jojoba oil has similar properties of sebaceous gland’s natural oil. It also protects the scalp against bacteria’s. Olive oil and coconut oil have antibacterial properties. They are best suited for treating dandruff as well. Tea tree oil can be used for healing skin diseases. It acts strongly on the bacteria’s that cause dryness. You can rinse use hair with 10 drops of tea tree oil mixed in half a bucket of water for better results.

Take extra care in winters - Drier scalp in winters is very normal.  You need to be over sensitive for your scalp in winters. Treat yourself with a hot oil massage at least once a week. Drink plenty of water. This will resist the gland to be dehydrated. Cover your head while going out. This way you will save your head from sudden temperature change. Tie the hair when it's too windy. Cold waves can harm your hair as well as scalp. Rinse your hair with half a cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with three cups of water. It gives you relief from itchy scalp.

Rehydration is the key to healthy scalp - Treat yourself with steam sauna to rehydrate fizzy hair. Peppermint oil balances the dryness on the scalp by enhancing natural oil production. Do not wash hair with warm water. It sucks natural oil from the hair and scalp, leaving them dry. Use hot oil treatment once a week to nourish the scalp from inside. You can use olive oil, coconut oil or tea tree oil. Squeeze out excess water after shampoo. Apply oil from roots till ends of hair. Use your regular conditioner after that. This treatment works superbly on dryness in the scalp. Use a humidifier in your home to increase the air moisture.

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.
