The state of growing old commences from the age of 40. Care between the
two decades of 40 and 60 determine the future health, and so, the
treatment during this period must be largely preventive. Many signs of
diseases of the initial stage that prove to be disastrous and more
painful during the last stage of life are mostly ignored.
Most people experience diabetes like monsoon onset. Just like when
there is no rain during most of the days, their clinical
tests fail to trace any (interrupted rain like) diabetic symptoms. In the
beginning it is like pre monsoon showers. Majority of non
diabetic people are experiencing acute spikes of diabetic attacks when
they consume some fruits like oranges. The quake-like shake-up in the
bloodstream destroys many minute veins of the brain as well as other
important organs.
Homoeopathy is a science that works better on characteristic symptoms of
an individual and mostly fails to give desired results based on physical
symptoms of any disease.
The physical symptoms become prominent and more painful during the acute
stage of the disease. Most acute conditions of a disease have its
chronic foundation.
For example:
1. Intense itching patches on the skin may be the acute symptoms of
chronic kidney failure.
2. Eczema is a chronic skin condition that usually begins in infancy or
early childhood and is often associated with food allergy. It is said
that allergies and asthma often develop in the same person.
3. Peptic ulcers and Rheumatoid arthritis often come together. People
mostly remain concerned about painful arthritis while ulcers continue
developing to fatal stages by use of strong anti pain allopathic drugs.
Homoeopathy recognizes a disease on the basis of
characteristic mental symptoms of an individual. There is no particular
medicine name for most familiar diseases as recognised by present day
modern science. However, some homeopathic medicines are found to be
repeatedly used to cure most unpleasant acute symptoms of some common
diseases.
For example: One characteristic symptom of Ambra grisea is that the
urine will not start when anyone is around. That is, confusion of mind
and embarrassment in the presence of other persons. As soon as he goes
into company there is flushing, trembling, nervous excitement and the
thoughts vanish. Sometimes there is numbness of single parts, fingers,
arms etc. If such an individual is also troubled with asthma, diabetic
symptoms or piles, Ambra grisea can be the primary medicine along with
other medicines for acute symptoms. None of the homoeopathy books have
suggested it for
asthma, diabetes or piles.
Nearly everyone experiences a headache once in a while.
Although headaches can be defined as pain in any region of the head,
the cause, duration, and intensity of this pain can vary according to
the type of headache. In some cases, a headache may require immediate
medical attention. Seek immediate allopathic care if youre experiencing
any of the following alongside your headache:
stiff neck
rash
the worst headache youve ever had
vomiting
confusion
slurred speech
any fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher
paralysis in any part of your body or visual loss
Every individual, after the age of 50, must get tested by allopathic
procedures used to obtain health information of their body.
An individual has to decide which medical system is desirable at the
time of an extreme crisis. A patient should have basic knowledge of each
existing medical procedure as the doctors of any system never advise the
patient to go for another medical treatment.
Even our medical education system requires improvement. The first two
years of MBBS should be given to teach main features of every curative
system, so that the doctors are able to assist the patients to choose
the most appropriate curative system. For some stage of disease, yoga
can give best results.
To cure a disease is like fighting a war, and for that, the patient
happens to be like a commander in chief of three different forces.
As per allopathic science, an individual can have headache by following
causes:
Tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraines allergy or sinus
headaches, hormone headaches, caffeine headaches, exertion headaches,
hypertension headaches, rebound headaches, post-traumatic headaches.
A homeopath analysis the headache based on following symptoms:
Location of symptoms i.e., Left sided, Right sided, back of head,
middle of head or over the eyes.
Caused by Chill, Joy, Fright, Grief, Mental exertion, Suppressed
eruptions, Overloaded stomach or constipation, Exposure to Sun,
Suppressed menstruation.
Made worse by Strong light, mental effort, Movement, noise or air
conditioned enclosures due to lack of oxygen in air. Those with low
blood pressure, indicating weak heart valves, will get headaches as
warning signals of likely heart attachι during a long stay in an oxygen
deficiency area.
Time of increase Morning, Evening, and Night while sleeping. Improved
by Closing the eyes, bandaging the head, during rest or during sleep.
There are hundreds of different medicines for the same disease depending
on characteristic symptoms of an individual. As the process of selecting
a medicine is very complex, many doctors prefer hit and try as they
can't spare enough time for every patient. Patients too don't understand
the importance of some characteristic symptoms thinking that it may not
be associated with their present ailment.
To get the best of homoeopathy, you need to be prepared to tell the
doctor some of your very ugly mental symptoms and the doctor should also
have enough time and patience to hear your symptoms. If the doctor is
not willing to disclose the name of medicines for your ailment, find
another doctor.
Till you find a suitable doctor you may begin with
some very common homoeopathic medicines as first aid. It is better to
continue the medicines with the approval of a qualified doctor. It is
just an introduction to homoeopathy to those who have not yet tried it.
Try these first aids till you find a suitable doctor.

Person should seek urgent allopathic treatment during a heart attack.
Heart attack is a very mysterious disease. People generally are not
aware if they are prone to heart attack. Many young people between the
ages of 30 to 50 years are found to die within a few hours during their
first heart attack. The first hour is lost when the affected person
remains confused related to uneasiness in his stomach, chest or arms and
tries to calm down the uneasiness by drinking Coffee/Tee, smoking or
chewing Paan Masala, Gutka. The next hour is lost when friends or family
members fail to recognize the symptoms of heart attack.
Most heart attacks occur in the early morning hours of winter season or
in a closed air conditioned environment.
1. The most common symptom of a heart attack is sharp and constricting
pain in the center of the chest, which radiates to the left side of the
body, particularly the left arm, and also to the back and between the
two shoulder blades. The pain may also come up to the chin and cause jaw
discomfort.
2. The person may sweat profusely.
3. Feeling light headed and momentary black outs are more common than
feeling sharp pain.
4. Breathlessness, dizziness and losing consciousness. A heart attack
occurs when the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is
disrupted due to certain blockages in the coronary arteries.
5. Discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen and a burning sensation,
which can sometimes be confused with acidity or heartburn.
6. A strong feeling of nausea is another symptom in disguise, which may
also be confused with gastric problems like indigestion.
7. Other warning signs can include unexplained fatigue, paleness,
palpitations and anxiety.
However, till the time the person is taken to hospital, the following
homeopathic medicines may prove very helpful:
These are very common medicines for many other purposes. People can keep
these close to them for emergency needs.
Arnica 30: One of the first symptoms of a
heart attack is radiating pain from the chest to the left arm. Arnica
helps calm the mind and treats the physical and mental shock of this
experience.
Aconite 30: Sudden chest pain and a high
heart rate are other common symptoms of a heart attack. Aconite should
ideally be given along with arnica.
Arnica and Aconite can be taken in pills within a 5 minutes interval.
Nux Vomica 200:
Nux vomica is often prescribed in cases where the patient complains of
fatigue, chest pain and heaviness in the chest. This is often
experienced after eating a heavy meal or triggered by exposure to
stress.
When you have eaten a heavy meal and feel a little uncomfortable, and
also not able to sleep due to work-related stress, take Nux Vomica
before going to bed. Even if it is merely a gastric problem, Nux Vomica
will take care.
For heart attacks, prevention is better than waiting for worse to
happen.
It is a disease of the eye in which fluid pressure within the eye rises;
if left untreated, the patient may lose vision and even become blind.

eye check-ups after the age of forty years.

to see correctly.
Symptoms can include patchy loss of peripheral vision, reduced clarity
of colors, pain in or around the eyeball, nausea or vomiting and visual
disturbances like halos around lights.
There are several Homeopathic remedies for Glaucoma. The patient must
take advice from allopathic and homeopathy doctors to know the status of
the disease.
Treatment from both the sciences can go side by side.
