SREE AYYAPPANS HOMOEOPATHIC HOSPITAL: 2009

ALOPECIA...Hair falling

‘The hair is the richest ornament of women’ - thus said Martin Luther but he would have surely wanted to change his quote had he lived in present times. Whether its women or men, they hold hair to be equally precious in today’s scenario and alopecia areata can be a big cause of concern for both.

Alopecia areata is loss of hair in patches. Although it can affect any hair-bearing area of the body, the term mostly connotes patchy hair loss from the scalp. The condition, though it is benign in most cases, can cause tremendous emotional and psychosocial stress in affected patients.

Homeopathy can effectively and safely relieve the patients from this condition when opted for at the right time. At Sree Ayyappan's we have the expertise and experience of treating thousands of cases of alopecia over the last 35 years and giving good relief to a large number of patients. Come and experience for yourself the wonderful effects of Homeopathy!

ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

‘The young man woke up in the morning with a stiff back and feeling tired – indeed after moving about for some time, his back hurt less, just as his physician had said.’ This is the typical picture of an ankylosing spondylitis patient – whose spine is gradually getting ‘rigid’.

Ankylosing spondylitis affects as many as one to two out of every 1000 males globally; prevalence being much lesser in women. It is a rheumatic disease that causes chronic inflammation of joints (arthritis). The most commonly affected joints affected are those of the spine and the joints between the spine and the pelvis (sacro-iliac joints). The condition ultimately leads to rigidity (‘ankylosis’) of the affected joints on account of abnormal adhesion of the bones in the joint.

Homeopathy can provide good relief to the patients and control the progress of Ankylosing spondylitis. At Sree Ayyappans's, with our proficiency and experience of treating patients for the last 45 years, we can help patients to have good control over this condition and offer them effective and gentle pain control. Ultimately, we at Sree Ayyappan's strive to give the patients of ankylosing spondylitis a better quality of life, free from the pain of arthritis - one that can be lived to the fullest.

ASTHMA

Taking the breath away… literally!

Asthma makes breathing difficult for more than 300 million people worldwide according to the WHO. It affects people living in the developing as well as developed countries and affects all age groups. It is the most common chronic disease in children and even with all the advances in treatment, the prevalence has only risen in the past few years.

Asthma is primarily a chronic disease (a respiratory allergy) that presents as recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing. There is a vast variation in the frequency and severity of symptoms of asthma from person to person. This is where the individualized treatment with Homeopathy can give significant relief to patients of asthma and help them lead an easy life.

At Sree Ayyappans, we have the experience of successfully treating patients with asthma (breathlessness, respiratory allergy, wheeze) for more than 35 years. Our individualized treatment has helped more than 10,000 patients overcome their disability due to asthma and lead a normal life. Welcome to gentle, safe and effective treatment of asthma with Homeopathy!

Bronchitis Acute or Chronic

‘Never neglect a cough lest a serious trouble grasp your weakened chest.’ A simple reflex mechanism such as a cough which is meant to clear the air passages can turn into a troublesome disease like bronchitis if left unheeded.

Bronchitis is a respiratory disorder in which the tubes that carry air to the lungs are inflamed and irritated. This causes the inner lining of these tubes to swell and produce mucus, leading to cough.

Bronchitis can be acute or chronic in nature depending on the duration of the illness. Acute bronchitis mostly develops from a cold or other respiratory infection whereas chronic bronchitis results from a more constant irritation of the bronchial tubes, often caused by smoking. Homeopathy can significantly help sufferers of both kinds of bronchitis and can provide gentle and safe treatment.

At Dr. Sree Ayyappans, we have successfully treated thousands of cases of bronchitis over the last 35 years and can help to give good relief and a better quality of life to all our patients. Experience the wonders of Homeopathy with holistic treatment at Sree Ayyappan's.

The person who coined the term ‘Pain in the neck’ must have surely experienced how annoying and troublesome neck pain can be and may be this is why he assigned it to people or tasks that cause trouble.

Affirming the same, statistics actually show that Cervical Spondylitis is indeed the commonest cause of neck pain in people above the age of 55 years! It goes without saying that this condition is mainly caused by age-related changes due to wear and tear that occur in the backbone (vertebrae) of the neck region.

Homeopathy can offer significant pain relief as well as good control of the other symptoms associated with this condition. At Sree ayyappan's, our experience and expertise in treating this condition for the past 35 years has helped us to give good results in most cases. The holistic treatment at Sree ayyappan's has helped many patients to achieve good pain control and lead a better quality of life.

Any kind of loss, hurdle or let-down in life can lead to feelings of sadness and this is absolutely normal. However, if the feeling of sadness persists for longer than a few days and starts interfering with normal functioning, it certainly calls for attention. Watch out for this could be the early sign of depression.

Depression does not affect one person alone but has its repercussions on his entire family, friends as well as his work. Apart from the cost of treating this condition, there are other huge costs involved in terms of lost productivity and absenteeism from work. Additionally, it is one of the leading causes of disability all over the world and affects more than 121 million people globally.

The good part is that depression is treatable and the results are superior if treatment is sought early on. Clinical studies have clearly documented that homeopathy can provide significant relief to patients with depression and can play a vital role in improving their quality of life. At Sree Ayyappan's, we have been treating patients with this condition for the last 35 years and have brought smiles back to many faces. Go ahead and explore the role of homeopathy in treating depression and take the reigns of life in your hands.

Eczema & other skin problems

An itch has been described as an irritating sensation that produces a desire to scratch. Once in a while, everybody has experienced the itch but for some people it goes beyond this and becomes a disease called eczema.

Eczema (also called dermatitis) describes any inflammation of the skin which is characterized by itching, redness and an outbreak of lesions. It is non-contagious in nature i.e. does not spread from one person to another.

At Sree Ayyappan's we have the experience of treating eczema (dermatitis / skin allergy) for over 35 years and our expertise has helped thousands of patients to get lasting relief from this annoying condition. Even research has clearly demonstrated that Homeopathy provides equivalent as well as better relief in eczema cases and that too without any side-effects that conventional methods carry. Don't you think its time you took steps towards an eczema-free life?

Female sexual dysfunction

Recent research has indicated that the prevalence of sexual dysfunction is high in both the sexes. Amongst females, the prevalence ranges from 25% to 60%, the average being around 40%. The exact incidence is difficult to find out since a large number of cases go unreported. This may be due to the social stigma attached to sexual disorders. However, with changing times, more and more women are becoming open to discuss their sexual problems with their physician and seek treatment for the same too.

Any problem that keeps a woman from experiencing sexual pleasure can be included in the umbrella term 'female sexual dysfunction'. Thus, female sexual dysfunction includes any of the complaints ranging from lack of sexual desire to absence of orgasm and anything in between. It is not uncommon for women to experience painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) but this again is one of the problems that go unreported.

An occasional problem with sexual function is a normal phenomenon but if this tends to get repetitive, timely treatment must be sought. Homeopathy evokes good response in most cases since the medicines work at the level of the body as well as mind. At Sree Ayyappan’s, we have been treating female sexual dysfunction for around 35 years now and have had good response in most cases relieving many women from their suffering. It is suggested that patients opt for treatment early on so as to experience maximum benefits from the treatment.

Gastritis, Gastric ulcer, Abdominal colic etc

Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation or erosion of the stomach mucosa. Gastritis is not one disease but a group of conditions, which are characterized by inflammation of the lining of the stomach. Gastritis can broadly be divided into acute gastritis and chronic gastritis.

Inflammation of the whole stomach is called PANGASTRITIS and an inflammation of a part of stomach is called ANTRAL GASTRITIS.

Acute gastritis can divided into:

1. Erosive
2. Non-erosive
Causes include medications, alcohol, eating or drinking corrosive substances, extreme physiological stress, and infections. Acute gastritis is often associated with a severe, acute illness, or trauma. The risk factors include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use (NSAIDs), recent heavy alcohol use, and physiological stress such major surgery, head trauma, renal failure, liver failure, or respiratory failure.

Chronic Gastritis:

Chronic gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach that occurs gradually and persists for a prolonged time. Chronic gastritis may be caused by prolonged irritation from the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, pernicious anemia (an autoimmune disorder), degeneration of the lining of the stomach from age, or chronic bile reflux.

What are the Causes of Gastritis?
Bacterial infection:

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that live deep in the mucosal layer, which coats the lining of the stomach. Although it's not entirely clear how the bacteria are transmitted, it's likely they spread from person to person through the oral-fecal route or are ingested in contaminated food or water. H. pylori infection frequently occurs in childhood and can last throughout life if untreated. It's now known to be the primary cause of stomach ulcers and is a leading cause of gastritis. Long-term infection with the bacteria causes a widespread inflammatory response that leads to changes in the stomach lining. One of these changes is atrophic gastritis, a condition in which the acid-producing glands are slowly destroyed.

Bile reflux disease:

Bile helps in digestion of fat. The liver secrets bile and stores it in the gall bladder. After releasing from the gallbladder, the bile goes into the small intestine through biliary ducts; the pyloric valve prevents bile from flowing back into stomach from the small intestine. Dysfunction of the valve gives rise to back flow of bile into the stomach, leading to inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Pernicious anemia:

Permicious anemia can result in atrophic gastritis. People with pernicious anemia may have gastric polyps and get gastric cancer and gastric carcinoid tumors twice as often than the normal population.

Autoimmune Gastritis:

The immune system makes antibodies and other proteins that fight off infection and keep the body healthy. In some disorders, the body mistakenly targets one of its own organs as a foreign protein or infection. It makes antibodies against it and can severely damage or even destroy the organ. The stomach lining also may be attacked by the immune system leading to loss of the stomach cells. This causes acute and chronic inflammation which can result in a condition called pernicious anemia. The anemia occurs because the body no longer can absorb vitamin B12 due to a lack of a key stomach factor, destroyed by the chronic inflammation. A form of anemia that occurs when the stomach lacks a naturally occurring substance needed to properly absorb and digest vitamin B12. A lack of vitamin B12 may change the surface of the tongue and shrink or thin the stomach lining.

Regular use of pain relievers:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce prostaglandin which preserves the stomach mucosa thereby cause inflammation of stomach lining.

Stress:

Severe stress due to major surgery, traumatic injury, burns or severe infections can cause gastritis as well as ulcers and stomach bleeding.

Alcohol addiction:

It can irritate and erode the gastric mucosa.

Cocaine:

Cocaine damages the stomach lining and may lead to hemorrhage.

Radiation and chemotherapy:

Chemotherapy and radiation given for cancer can cause irreversible erosions of the stomach lining and destruction of acid-producing glands.

Other factors:

Gastritis may be associated with other medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, parasitic infections, some connective tissue disorders, and liver or kidney failure.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Gastritis?
The signs and symptoms of gastritis include:

A gnawing or burning ache or pain in the upper abdomen that may become either worse or better after eating.
Loss of appetite.
Bloating: A feeling of fullness in upper abdomen after eating
Weight loss.
Belching: Belching either does not relieve the pain or relieves it only briefly.
Nausea and vomiting: The vomit may be clear, green or yellow, blood-streaked, or completely bloody, depending on the severity of the stomach inflammation.
In more severe gastritis, bleeding may occur inside the stomach. Any of the following symptoms can be seen as well as those already mentioned.

Pallor, sweating, and rapid (or "racing") heart beat.
Feeling faint or short of breath
Chest pain or severe stomach pain
Vomiting large amounts of blood
Bloody bowel movements or dark, sticky, very foul-smelling bowel movements
How Gastritis is Diagnosed?

Gastritis is diagnosed on the basis of medical history and physical examinations of the patient and the following tests:

§ Blood tests. Blood test to detect presence of H. pylori antibodies. A positive test shows that you've come in contact with the bacteria at some time in your life, but it doesn't necessarily indicate current infection. Blood tests can also check for anemia, which may result from stomach bleeding associated with gastritis.

§ Stool tests. To check H. pylori presence in a sample of stool. A positive result shows current infection. Test for the presence of blood in stool, a sign of gastric bleeding.

§ Upper gastrointestinal X-ray. After swallowing barium liquid which coats the lining of digestive tract, it is easier to check signs of gastritis and other digestive problem.

§ Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. On taking X-ray if gastritis is still doubtful then we will go for endoscopy. This procedure allows seeing abnormalities in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract that may not be visible on X-rays. If any tissue in your upper intestinal tract looks suspicious, your doctor can remove a small sample (biopsy) using instruments inserted through the endoscope. The sample is then sent to a lab for examination by a pathologist. Risks of the procedure are rare and include bleeding and perforation of the stomach lining. The most common complication is a slight sore throat from swallowing the endoscope.

What is the Treatment of Gastritis?

Conventional/Allopathic Treatment

Treatment depends upon the cause of gastritis. It may include lifestyle changes, medication or rarely surgery. Medication includes, Antacids, H2 blockers, Proton pump inhibitor, Antibiotics, antidiarrheal agents etc. In some patients the side effects of these drugs may seen:

§ Antacids: Antacids containing Aluminum and Magnesium are given but contraindicated in documented hypersensitivity, it can’t be safely used in pregnancy as it decreases effect of allopurinol, amprenavir, chloroquine, corticosteroids, diflunisal, digoxin, ethambutol, iron salt, H2 antagonists, isoniazid, penicillamine, phenothiazines, tetracycline, thyroid hormones & ticlopidine; increases effect of benzodiazepines & amphetamine; may cause Aluminum toxicity with ascorbic acid.

Magnesium containing antacids may cause diarrhea and may lead to dehydration.

Patient having history of gastrointestinal bleeding can not take Aluminum and Magnesium containing antacids.

§ H2 Blockers: Cimetidine [Tagmet] is commonly given to the patient, it may lead to confusional states; may cause impotence and gynaecomastia in young males.

§ Proton Pump Inhibiters: Omeperozol [Prilosec] drug given to patients may increase toxicity of warfarin, digoxin and phenytoin.

§ Antibiotics: Amoxicillin [Amoxil, Trimox], is contraindicated in hepatic dysfunction. It reduces efficacy of oral contraceptives. Tetracycline used during teeth development can cause permanent discoloration of teeth.

§ Antidiarrheal Agents: They are used along with antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors/H2 Receptor Antagonists to eradicate H.Pylori. Administration along with anticoagulants may increase risk of bleeding. It may cause darkening of tongue and black stool which is temporary.

Some Diet & Lifestyle Tips for Gastritis:

§ Eating habits. If you experience frequent indigestion, eat smaller, more frequent meals to buffer stomach acid secretion. Avoid any spicy, acidic, fried or fatty food. Practice good eating habits.

§ Avoid alcohol. It irritates and erodes the mucous lining of the stomach, causing inflammation and bleeding.

§ Don't smoke. Smoking interferes with the protective lining of the stomach, making the stomach more susceptible to gastritis as well as ulcers. Smoking also increases stomach acid; delays stomach healing and are a leading risk factor for stomach cancer. Still, quitting isn't easy, especially if you've smoked for years. Talk to your doctor about methods that may help you stop smoking.

§ Switch pain relievers. Some may cause stomach inflammation or make existing irritation worse.

§ Follow doctor's advice. Your doctor may recommend that you take an over-the-counter antacid or acid blocker to help prevent recurring gastritis.

§ Maintain a healthy weight. Heartburn, bloating and constipation tend to be more common in obese people. Maintaining a healthy weight can often help prevent or reduce these symptoms.

§ Exercise regularly. Aerobic exercise that increases your breathing and heart rate also stimulates the activities of intestinal muscles, helping to move food wastes through your intestines more quickly.

§ Manage stress. Stress increases risk of heart attack and stroke, increases stomach acid production and slows digestion. For relaxation practice yoga. Make a habit of regular exercise, morning walk, eat healthy, nutritious food, it boosts your immune system & makes you calm.

Gout, Arthritis, Rheumatism...Other Aches

Gout is one of the forms of arthritis or joint inflammation. Usually one or two joints are affected at a time. Commonly joints of feet and ankles are inflamed in gout. The commonest site is the ball of the big toe .

The first attack of gout subsides in a week or so without treatment. There may be a long gap of many months or years between attacks. As time passes the attacks become more frequent and more severe involving many joints. When the frequency of attacks increases progressive joint damage sets in. This is known as chronic gout. This leads to disability and crippling. Gout is very rare in women but usually affects men. In women it is seen after menopause.

Cause of Gout

Presence of uric acid crystals in joints causes inflammation of joints.

Uric acid is formed during metabolism of food and building up of body tissues. When the level of uric acid increases in blood than normal levels, the uric acid forms microscopic crystals in joints. These crystals lead to inflammation of joints.

The cause of Gout is vitiated blood. The vitiated blood first affects the joints of feet. This extends to other joints in later stages. The vitiated blood not only affects the joints but also affects the whole body.
Causes of vitiation of Blood:

1. Indigestion

2. Excessive consumption of salty, sour, hot , spicy , oily foods.

3. Consumption of Fish.

4. Consuming horse gram, urad dal.

5. Alcohol.

6. Consuming opposite foods.

7. Lack of sleep.

8. Obesity.

9. Sedentary work

Reasons for increased uric acid level in blood

1. Hereditary

2. Obesity

3. High alcohol intake

4. High intake of food like liver, kidneys, sweetbreads ,tongue, red meat, Shellfish, fish peas, lentils and beans. These foods contain purines.

5. Few drugs used to treat high blood pressure.

Symptoms:

1. Inflammation,

2. Swelling,

3. Tenderness in the affected joint.

4. Touching or moving the joint is extremely painful.

5. The symptoms of Gout are described in ayurveda as follows

6. Over reaction on touching the affected joint.

7. Swelling of the joint.

Hepatitis B Positive

Hepatitis-B

Definition:
Hepatitis B is a viral infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This virus is capable of causing life-long infection, liver cirrhosis (scaring), liver failure, liver cancer and death.
Causes:
As mentioned above the cause of Hepatitis B is the virus- HBV. The virus spreads when blood from an infected person enters the body of a non-infected person. This virus enters the blood stream and reaches the liver where it reproduces and releases large numbers of new viruses into the bloodstream. HBV can survive outside the body for at least 7 days and can still be capable of causing infection.

HBV is mainly found in the blood of infected individuals. Saliva, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk also contain the virus but in lower concentrations as compared to the blood. Feces, nasal secretions, sputum, sweat, tears, urine and vomit have not been implicated in the spread of Hepatitis B. Unless they are visibly contaminated with blood, the risk of contracting hepatitis B from these fluids is practically nonexistent. Hepatitis B is not transmitted by casual contact, hugging, by sharing eating utensils, through food or water, etc.

After a person has been exposed to the HBV, the blood test (HBsAg) will become positive on an average within 4 weeks (range 1- 9 weeks). Usually within 15 weeks of onset of the symptoms, this test becomes negative in most individuals (except those who have developed chronic infection).

Risk factors for developing Hepatitis B:
 Sexual contact with an infected individual
 Sexual contact with multiple partners
 Male homosexual contact
 Intravenous drug abuse (due to sharing of infected needles)
 Health care workers (due to close contact with infected individuals)
 Occupational blood exposure
 Sharing toothbrushes, razors, etc
 From an infected mother to new-born infant
 Chronic renal failure patients on Dialysis
 Tattooing, piercing of skin (ears, lips, navel, etc)
 Dental procedure
 Medical procedures (including transfusion of blood or blood products)
 Staying with a chronic Hepatitis B patient
 Traveling to countries which have a high prevalence of Hepatitis B
It must be noted that people of any age, sex, race or nationality can be infected by this virus.
Symptoms:
Sometimes a person with HBV infection may not have any symptoms at all. In patients who do develop symptoms, they occur on an average of about 12 weeks (range 9-21 weeks) after exposure to hepatitis B virus. About 70% of the patients develop symptoms of Hepatitis B. The symptoms include:
 Jaundice: Yellowness of skin and/or sclera (white portion of the eyes)
 Loss of appetite
 Abdominal discomfort
 Nausea with or without vomiting
 Dark yellow urine
 Clay colored stools
 Lethargy, fatigue
 Body ache, joint pain, etc
About Chronic Hepatitis B infection:
Chronic Hepatitis B means that the body did not get rid of the virus when the patient was first infected with HBV thus leading to long-term HBV infection. The younger the age group at the time of first infection with this virus, the higher is the chance of developing chronic HBV infection. Thus almost 90% of infected infants, about 30% of infected children between 1-5 years of age and only 2- 6% of infected people above 5 years of age will develop chronic infection.

Carriers of Hepatitis B are those individuals who are capable of transmitting the virus to other individuals. Majority of hepatitis B carriers are asymptomatic (displaying no symptoms) whereas only 30% of them show symptoms of the disease.

Diagnosis:
Following are some of the common tests used to diagnose Hepatitis B infection:

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): It can be detected in high levels in serum during acute or chronic hepatitis. The presence of HBsAg indicates that the person is infectious.

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (anti-HBs): The body normally produces antibodies to HBsAg as a part of the normal immune response to infection. The presence of anti-HBs is generally interpreted as indicating recovery and immunity from HBV infection. Anti-HBs also develops in a person who has been successfully vaccinated against hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B e Antigen (HBeAg): This is found in the serum during acute and chronic hepatitis B. The presence of Hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) indicates that the virus is replicating and the infected individual has high levels of HBV.

Hepatitis B e Antibody (anti-HBe): This is produced by the immune system temporarily during acute HBV infection.

Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc): This is an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. The core antigen is found on virus particles but disappears early in the course of infection. This antibody is produced during and after an acute HBV infection and is usually found in chronic HBV carriers as well as those who have cleared the virus, and usually persists for life.

Complete solution for all thyroid problems

There are many disease that can affect the functioning of the thyroid gland, this gland is formed by two large lobes lying at the base of the throat; it is an important gland and releases many hormones which are necessary for the proper functioning of the body including the maintenance of cellular machinery in the human body. A condition or disease known as hyperthyroidism can start affecting a person when the thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormone. In this condition, the body’s metabolic rate runs too fast and metabolism is rapid compared to the normal rate, this situation in the body may be comparable to an overheated engine in an automobile. The secretion of too little of the thyroid hormone will lead to the converse disorder known as hypothyroidism-this disorder is characterized by the sluggish performance of metabolism in the body. The appearance of the symptoms in both of these different but related conditions is very sometimes rapid, and sometimes gradual, the symptoms may be mistaken for the signs signaling long term mild depression in the individual.
The presence of an autoimmune disorder is the main cause fro the majority of cases relating to thyroid disease, this is a condition where the body's immune system will attack the thyroid gland on its own due to impairment of some internal factors. These factors can include different types of hereditary or genetic causes, it can result from the presence of hormonal disturbances in other regions of the body, autoimmune disorder can develop following major surgery, exposure to radiation can also cause autoimmune disorders, and the use of certain medications is also another possible cause for the impairment of the immune system to the point that it attacks the thyroid gland. One very common reason for the development of hypothyroidism is the deficiency of iodine in the daily diet-this is a very common condition in some third world countries due to the lack of proper dietary iodine supplies.

Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, mouth and genitals. Rows or clusters of dark, flat-topped skin lesions are typical of this condition. Being one of the chronic skin conditions, it tends to last for years in most cases.

This is just one of the instances which has disbanded existing myths and proven homeopathy as victorious.

Male Sexual Dysfunction

As many as one third of all men experience some form of difficulty during sexual activity, yet only a few take the step forward to seek treatment for the same. It can be embarrassing to discuss one's sexual problems with a physician but patients must understand that if this gives an effective solution in the end, it is well worth the effort.
Male sexual dysfunction can be described as any form of difficulty in the sexual activity that prevents the concerned man (or the couple) from experiencing satisfaction. Sexual activity can be divided into phases of excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution and the problem can be related to any of these phases. The result can be any of the following: loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems such as premature / retarded / retrograde ejaculation or absence of orgasm. The good news is that male sexual dysfunction is treatable with Homeopathy and the response is good in most cases.
At Sree Ayyappans Homoeopathic Hospital, we have been treating patients for more than 35 years now and have had good results in most cases. We strongly advocate that patients share their concerns with their partner as well as the treating physician to get the best results. In addition, it is advisable that patients take adequate steps early on because seeking timely treatment can help to prevent any complications in their personal lives due to sexual dysfunction.

'As many suffer from too much as too little' thus said Christian Nestell Bovee. He indeed understood that 'too much' can also lead to suffering. Excessive and abnormal accumulation of fat presents a serious risk to health and is medically termed as Obesity.
A chronic disease by nature, Obesity is increasingly becoming a global health problem that has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and other developed countries. The cost of Obesity has sky-rocketed to $147 billion annually in US alone and has increased 37% over the last decade. Besides being a threat to the economy, it has multiple serious long term consequences such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. Obesity comes second only to tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in US.
The good news is that timely treatment and lifestyle management can help overweight and obese people to get back to normal weight and thus prevent the complications of obesity. Homeopathic medicines that have been used for treating Obesity over the past hundred years have now been scientifically proved to speed up the metabolic rate and burn up calories faster. At Sree Ayyappans Homoeopathic Hospital, besides the experience of treating Obesity with Homeopathy for the past 35 years, we also have qualified and experienced nutritionists who prepare individualized diet plan for our patients to help better management of these cases.

Surprising as it may sound, almost three out of every four menstruating women experience some form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). PMS is basically a combination of physical and emotional disturbances which occur just before the menstrual period. It can present with a wide variety of signs and symptoms ranging from mood swings and tender breasts to fatigue, depression, etc.
Lifestyle adjustments and homeopathic treatment can help you to manage the signs and symptoms of your premenstrual syndrome. A randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial clearly demonstrated that 90 % of the patients who had received homeopathic treatment for their PMS experienced more than 30 % improvement. The sick-days before menses were reduced and the use of conventional drugs was also reduced in this group.
At Dr. Batra's, we have successfully helped many women to deal with their suffering and lead a normal pain-free life again. Don't you think it's time you took control of your life and treated your premenstrual syndrome with Homeopathy?

rheumatoid_arthritis, atrophic_arthritis, rheumatismA chronic autoimmune disease with inflammation of the joints and marked deformities; something (possibly a virus) triggers an attack on the synovium by the immune system, which releases cytokines that stimulate an inflammatory reaction that can lead to the destruction of all components of the joint.
‘rheumatic disorders’ include:-
Ø Polymyalgia Rheumatica – in this disorder there is pain and stiffness in a lot of different muscles, especially those around the shoulders. It affects mainly the elderly.
Ø Tenosynovitis – This is an inflammation of the sheathes of the tendons – they are the cord-like structures in the wrist and elsewhere, which many older people call ‘leaders’.
Ø Capsulitis – this is an inflammation of the capsule (the covering) of the joint, often the shoulder.
Ø Bursitis – This is an inflammation caused by friction between soft tissues and underlying bone. A ‘sac’ of fluid develops.

An Overview
Urticaria (also known as hives) is a rash that is primarily a manifestation of an allergic reaction on the skin. One of commonest reasons for Urticaria is exposure to allergens. Peculiarly seen as clusters of raised, red wheals of varying sizes on the skin, this condition lasts for some time and then disappears without any trace. The condition is not life-threatening; however Angioedema is a severe variant and this condition may endanger life if not attended to promptly.
Homeopathy can indeed be effectively used to treat Urticaria which otherwise tends to be a very elusive disease, especially in chronic cases. At Sree Ayyappans, we have the proficiency and experience in treating this disease successfully for more than 35 years now. Go ahead and experience an Urticaria-free life!

Uterine Fibroids

Homeopathic treatment for uterine fibroids can be very efficient and in many cases may be the only treatment you will ever need to get healthy again.
A fibroid is a muscle tumor, in this case, the tumor of muscles in the uterus. Another name for them is myoma, which is short for the more technical name -- leiomyoma. Women can endure an entire pregnancy or two with uterine fibroids present, but there are cases in which they produce heavy menstrual bleeding, pain and various others types of discomfort.

In classical medicine, the only efficient treatment for uterine fibroids is surgery, but it can have disastrous consequences, the gravest of which is the case of hysterectomy, in which the problem is literally cut away.
Homeopathic Treatment For Utering Fibroids On the Rear Wall of the Uterus
It may be possible to heal uterine fibroids by taking only the constitutional remedy. This, in effect, would mean to find a remedy that would describe the essence of the entire state of the patient... a much too long shot, in most cases. If it were possible just like that, there would be no need neither for homeopathic mixtures nor for any other kind of medicine at all.
Now, let us recap the situation. Uterine fibroids are benign tumours in the uterus, which is a sack of a kind, with cervix as an outlet. How to eliminate them from the body? The following list of actions comes to mind:
1) Stop uterine fibroids from growing again
Surgery cannot do this without taking away the whole uterus (hysterectomy) or its inner wall (endometrial ablation). A treatment with homeopathic miasms and constitutional remedies can stop the unwanted growths and enable you to continue living with your reproductive organs as a whole.
2) Melt the fibroids down in order to easily remove them from the body
In real life, this requires a surgery, while in energy healing, this boils down to taking another remedy -- a very non-invasive procedure.
3) Cut uterine fibroids out
Again, homeopathy can help here, in a non-invasive way. There is a remedy, Silicea, which acts as a "homeopathical scalpel", while another, Myrristica Sebifera acts as a "homeopathical knife". Taken together, they separate uterine fibroids from the wall of the uterus, and then the tumors fall away.
4) Export them out
Again, homeopathy can help. A remedy called Hepar Sulphuris Calcarea speeds up the growth of uterine fibroids, while Silicea with Myrristica Sebifera take the bad tissue out.
5) Clean up the act -- both the uterus physically and the whole body hormonally
Post-op treatment can sometimes be weeks long. In homeopathy, there would be no ill effects of anestesia, cutting, bleeding, wounds, etc. etc. Applied properly, homeopathy is a better way of getting the uterine fibrods out!
The Importance of Miasms in Curing Uterine Fibroids
This word "miasm" may be new to you. Miasm sort of genetically clears the base for groups of illnesses. There are four miasms, and in this case, it is a remedy called Medorrhinum. If the miasm is used properly, uterine fibroids would not appear again. However, once you get rid of the tumors, you are well advised to have your constitutional remedy defined and to continue taking it from time to time, in order to prevent the reoccurences of the illness.
Here is an example of removing a present and bleeding fibroid from the uterus. It was a combined effort from the standpoints of view of medical astrology and modernized homeopathy (in this kid of homeopathy mixtures of remedies are used instead of using only one remedy at a time.
Note: Medicine mentioned here are for only for reference purposes. It is not advisable to take medicines with out a qualified registered Physician. Contact drnsreejith@gmail.com for more details.

Warts

Overview – Warts

Warts (verruca) are small, growths on the skin which are usually painless. They are sometimes caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV). Though largely harmless in nature, warts can be quite disfiguring at times and thereby a source of embarrassment. Certain types of warts can be itchy or even painful.
In some cases, warts may disappear spontaneously without any treatment but in most cases they require proper treatment. The response to treatment also varies significantly wherein some warts recover readily while others require prolonged treatment. The trouble with warts is that they spread easily on account of being contagious and hence must be treated promptly without any delay.
The issue with conventional treatment is that it does not target the root cause of warts and hence recurrence is common. However, with constitutional homeopathic treatment, warts are treated effectively from the roots thereby preventing any further recurrence of the same. At Sree Ayyappans Homoeopathic Hospital we have treated a large number of cases of warts with good results in most cases. Go ahead and experience the benefits of homeopathy with us.
