Home Remedies for Jaundice

Jaundice is a disease/condition that affects and relate with liver, gallbladder and blood. Starting symptoms are hungerlessness, nausea, vomiting, weariness, restlessness, sleeplessness, headache and fever (very rare).

Allopathic view about Jaundice

According to Modern medicine, Jaundice is a disease caused by the Virus called Hepatitis A. There is A, B, C, D, E, F, G verities occur according to their structure and intensity of disease it causes. In them G is the most dangerous virus. The penetrated virus in the liver causes the Jaundice (why the Virus doesn’t penetrate the Livers of the Animals).

          There is no fruitful treatment available for Jaundice in modern medicine. They use “Live-52” type medicine for Jaundice. It’s an extract made from Phyllanthus Niruri (Stone breaker, a plant) and there’s no control of food prescribe.

How does Jaundice Recognize?

Jaundice recognized by the yellow colouring of the body. Bile is responsible for the yellowing of the body.

What is Bile?

Bile is a fluid that helps digestion of food in duodenum and makes colour and shape for feces. Bile is generated in the Liver and stored in the Gallbladder.

       The variations in the quality and the quantity of bile will lead to digestive problems. So we have to ensure the health of bile for the proper digestion.

How to ensure healthy Bile?

The production of bile is very much related to food. The defect and deficit of food affects the production. Bile production is a chemical process of liver out of its 450 processes. The poison content in the food that we eat will absorb by liver. Then it neutralizes the poison and excretes them out of the body.

       To make healthy bile, we must have a healthy liver. For make healthy liver, we must ensure the purity of the food. Never use food contains poison. Avoid drugs and alcohols.

Salt, favorite of human, is also hurts liver.

Food stuffs that affect Bile

• Fish, Flesh, Egg.
• Tea, Coffee, Cola drinks.
• Food items that fried in oil.
• Tinned food contains preservatives.
• Sugar, Multipurpose flavor, hydrogenated vegetable oil.
• Water contains chlorine (American study report showed that chlorine water make kidney cancer and colon cancer).

Their use will affect the physical and chemical properties of bile. The result of affection may not be sudden, it varies by person.

How does Jaundice relate with bile?

The physical and chemical changing of bile will lead to its coagulation. This clotted bile accumulates and blocks bile duct and the opening of gallbladder. This will resist digestion and lead to hungerlessness, nausea, vomiting and weariness – the first symptoms of Jaundice.

Our body has to excrete this polluted bile, so it get eject to blood. From blood, it goes out from the body through urine and sweat.

Bile in the blood makes the body-colour into yellow and also tires the brain. It leads to restlessness and sleeplessness (secondary symptoms). If there is fever, that is a good sign, disease gets cure early.

Asthma is Curable

I start with Asthma because I have a sentimental attachment with it. My father and one of my friend have it. My dad is passed away unfortunately. but it was not because of Asthma. He didn't have any problem with Asthma during a twenty five year ago before his death. He took so many medicines for Asthma until it did stop coming. But his Lungs was weak and posses so many holes during the end. That's why I stat with Asthma.
Most of the people have a misbelief that Asthma is wont get cured, once come it posses the entire life.

What is Asthma?

Asthma (from the Greek ἅσθμα, ásthma, "panting") is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm.^[2] Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. (Wikipedia).

Reason behind Asthma

There is so many reasons behind Asthma.

• Polluted Environment (Surrounded by Cigarette Smoke etc).
• Lack of Exercise.
• Late and improper Food.
• Restlessness.
• Sleeplessness.
• Use of Drugs.
• Living in Rooms without Air and Light.

Those who have a starting stage of Asthma can be curable if they fix the above 7 problems.

Asthma happens if one took continues medicines for Cold to prevent Sputum. The Sputum will be accumulated in the Lungs due to this activity. It get dried and became solid. The ability of Lungs to expand is get weak. So the respiration will be tough. This results Asthma. Constipation happens to them usually.

Respiratory problems may happens to Renal patients also. This is not because of wastes in the Lungs, This is of the wastes that couldn't remove by the Kidney's itself. 'Prana' or 'Life' evoke it from kidneys to lungs. This toxic excretion may show the symptoms of Asthma. Hence it's called "Renal Asthma". Their expiration smells Urine.
Human Heart is situated in between the lungs. In someones the expansion of Lungs during Asthma will touches the wall of the Heart, it will lead to unconsciousness up to 3days. This is called "Cardiac Asthma". Both Renal and Cardiac Asthma are rare. Usual one is known as 'Bronchial Asthma".
When wheezing happens because of the excess mucus, Prana pulls respiration with power. That means Asthma is a good thing by body to keep life. It's only known by whom have self-dedication.
Asthma is happens to infants is only because of the food they get provided. Artificial milk powders and foods are the key factor. It's notable that if there is no prevention is taken for a breast feeding infant of 3 years, should not have any diseases.
It's seen that medication for skin diseases such as Eczema, Dermatophytosis results in Asthma. The prevention in the excretion of wastes through skin leads to excretion through lungs. That results Asthma. Continues mental stress and pain may also point out to Asthma. The Allopathy medicines for preventing Asthma is also make Asthma permanent in the body. There is cases where Asthma stops when the Allopathy medicines to prevent Asthma did stop.

What does Allopathy do?

Allopathy is doing 4 methods to control Asthma (not to stop).

1. Broncho dialators

They are medicines under the type Aminophylline, Theophylline. They do enlarge trachea for a limited time. They bring consolation for a short period of time. They are injection which is bad for digestion and reduces sleep.

2.Ephedrine

The medicinal categories under Ephedrine, stimulates the vein which works automatically in the Lungs and expands trachea. They have side effects such as High Heart rate, distress, hypertension, headache, weariness etc.

3.Corticosteroid

They are powerful medicines and very dangerous also. They affect not only the lungs but also the entire body. Celestone, Cardiozole, etc are of these types. Their regular use can cause bone weakening, tumor in uterus etc.Their over use can change a Bronchial Asthma to Cardiac Asthma.

4.Expectorant

They will help to spat out some sputum. It will bring some consolation. They are also harmful.
In Allopathic treatment, Asthma is because of allergy. Their allergic list is too high. Cat, dog, dust, flowers, feathers etc. The world without them is not exist. That's because their medicines cant bring cure forever.

Natural Treatment

There is only one way in this treatment "Discard every wrong lifestyle and step into the right one". It's easy to say what is righteous food than the wrong. The Cure of Asthma is this long when the accumulated wastes from the body removes completely and no new wastes been accumulates newly. The Juices of Ash Gourd (White Gourd) or Banana Stem are very Alkalic and they will help our body to remove Acidic mucus. Leaves of Spinach are also helpful in mucus removing. leaf of Beel tree is also nutritive. To reduce the intensity of Asthma, the food should be juicy after evening (eg: fruit juices and Vegetable Soups). Sample food menu is listed below.

• 6am : half glass of Gourd juice + a cup of Spinach.
• 8am : 50% of cooked vegetable + 50% raw vegetable + fruits.
• 1pm : about 300gm of raw vegetables + boiled rice/ unboiled rice + cooked vegetables (should avoid potato items, beans, dhal, tamarind, chilli and onion). Avoid Palm oils, Avoid Aluminium cook wears.
• 6pm : Thulsi leaf 20 + Beel leaf 15 juice.
• 8pm : Fruit juices or vegetable soups (can eat fruits if Asthma is less than 5years old).

3 years of old Asthma patients and those who using intensive medicines such as Cortisone doesn't have to take Ayurvedic medicines for the first 2 months. At that time they have to stick on vegetarianism. After that they can also follow the above routine. Please don't take the cooked food after 3 hours. It's better to take it before 3 hour after cooking. Avoid Fish, Flesh, Egg, Milk, Curd. Use butter milk if needed. Asthma patients should strictly follow 5 upasana's. They are 

1. Akasha upasana
2. Vayu upasana
3. Theja upasana
4. Jala upasana
5. Prithvi upasana.

Above mentioned food restriction is coming under prithvi upasana. Asthma patient should fast a day in every week with fruit juices only. This fasting is known as Akasha upasana. Doing 'Pranayama' is Vayu upasana. Pranayama is an exercise with Air (yoga). Pranayama is a very simple air exercise at that time the patient have no stress and wheezing and the Stomach should be empty. Sit in an open place and slowly breath out through nose and do it till when you feel the lungs is empty. And hold it for 3 or 4 seconds. Breath in slowly till when you feel your lungs is filled completely. And hold it for 3 or 4 seconds and continue. This exercise is known as Pranayama. Next is Theja upasana, It's means to take sunlight before 9am and after 4.30pm. It's notable that Asthma usually don't come in day time. Last one is Jala upasana. It's means that there is no problem in bathing with cold water. Asthma patients should take Spinal bath twice a day. if they suffering constipation, enema with water also prescribed (not every time). 

This should be the lifestyle of an Asthma patient. When get cured, you can change some of it. When the lifestyle get change, body make some disease to excrete the wastes. That may be cold, headache, diarrhoea, fever, cough, vomiting etc.Washing head with cold water is enough to stop Headache. Fruit and fruit juices are enough to reduce Cold, Cough and Fever. Butter milk and Coconut water is enough to stop Diarrhoea. Should take up to 12hrs of fasting according to the strength of the Vomiting. Cold and Cough may be come several times during this period. At that time please do not take any kind of Allopathy medicines to reduce them. Because they are helping the body to remove the wastes. Asthma will end up with an Asthma. They may be strong or weak. Try to overcome them without medicines. Even that Asthma comes in the day time, take a sunbath. Put a wet cloth over head to avoid head heating. Don't worry if it is Noon or not, Sunlight is better than any other drugs. If you sense Asthma, 1) Take Enema. 2) Wash head in cold water. 3) Put both legs in hot water up to knee (don't do if you have heart disease, renal disease, liver problems and hypertension.). 4) Cover up Bosom and Abdomen with wet cloth. 5) Apply hot and cold alternatively on the back of the body. This is the order and stop doing further steps when the Asthma stops in a step. 6) If Asthma don't stop among the previous steps, try Steam inhaling. 7) Take a spinal bath in 40degree celsius. Put legs also in hot water. 8) If above steps don't stop the Asthma, Try a very little of the Allopathic medicine that you used last. And continue with the prescribed food.
There will be some nights will go away with Asthma. The medicines under Cortisone will be the most problem generated during Natural treatment. If Asthma is longs a little, stop taking Gourd juices and Banana stem juices and continue with other liquid foods like coconut water, fruit juices and vegetable soups. This treatment will reduce your body mass index but it will stop your Asthma also.
Asthma patients may feel itch when comes to Natural treatment. It will stops within 3 or 4 days. It's because of the removal of toxic wastes through the skin. It seemed that strong Asthma happens to those who medicated for Eczema. In someones the strong herpes will stops Asthma forever. For those it's better to avoid Soaps and chemicals.There may be pain of bones may happens to those who used medicines under Cortisone steroids, they have to take a hot spinal bath for favor. The pain is because of the strengthening of bones. It's rarely happens Acidity from fruits, at that time use Carrot or Tomato juices instead. And it seems that somebody have Asthma increased with fruits. That's not because the problem of the fruit, that's Alkalic reaction for mucus excretion by Prana.
It's easy to get cure from Natural treatment. but if you stops the lifestyle, it may bring back Asthma to you. Because you get Asthma only because of the lifestyle and you get cure only because of some new lifestyle.
Remember you must avoid Fish, Flesh, Egg, Cigarette, Alcohols etc. Avoid Sugar, Maida (All purpose flour), Palm oil etc. Supper must be fruits (Asthma may happens if it change to grains). The persons who using grains for their breakfast and lunch should take a fruit fasting in a week. Pranayama and yoga helps a lot to maintain a healthy lungs.
For Renal and Cardiac Asthma, things are little complicated. So their treatment should be simplified and take a little more time. Forbearance and co-operation is needed.

The life without Diseases

I know the Title of this post is very impressive because everyone of us want a life like that. This topic has a lot to discuss. but before going to it, I would like to give a conclusion about the topic.

"If you want to live without Diseases, you should simply change your lifestyle". There is no other shortcuts. Life without disease is Success, and success doesn't have any shortcuts.

Before we going to the point, we have to know some basic knowledge about diseases.

What is Disease?

A disease is an abnormal condition that affects the body of an organism. It is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs (wikipedia).

But actually a Disease is an activity of an organism to remove the poison from its body.

Diseases are of Symptom and Signs. The common Symptom of almost every disease is Weariness. But Actually we should find out a word instead of disease. because they are more than disease.
Fever is a disease. But only few knows, It's a kind of prevention of body to remove unwanted particles from body by generating heat. Cough is a disease, in which body removes wastes from the lungs. Stomach ache is a disease where body says "This part is under Construction, Please don't eat any food." 
 More than a disease, it's a kind of prevention of our body. And our reaction over diseases are usually an unhealthy one. We all need sudden cure from its symptoms. For that we consumes lots of medicines. This is an unhealthy behaviour.
For Eg. Our Lungs accumulates of some unwanted things in it and our body going to take it out as Cough. The Cough ends when body removes it completely. But when you take medicine for it, the symptom stops suddenly. that means our body cant finish the work. And the wastes are still there in our body. when this medicine repeats whenever the Cough is coming, that will normally increases the intensity of Cough and may lead to some Asthma, Bronchitis etc. So first we should understand what is a Disease and what is not. Following posts are about diseases. In which we discuss many diseases and their proper way of treatments also.
