Allergies and Dental health

In my recent clinical experience, I realised there are an increasing number of dental issues with kids along with their allergy component.

So let’s see how they are correlated.

  •  When kids have chronic nasal congestion they breathe by mouth. So in developing children this results in the crooked development of teeth.
  • Allergies also cause tooth pain along with other symptoms such as
  • Nasal congestion
  • Sinus congestion
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Discolored mucus from the nose
  • Occasionally a low-grade fever

It is important for individuals, as well as dentists and practioners to be aware that there are several associations between the fields of dentistry and allergy. 

  • Everyone is aware that the basic reasons behind toothache are gum diseases and decay. But there are other causes too with lesser such as sinusitis that leads to pain.
  • The other symptoms of allergies such as headache, mouth breathing, and cough can also lead to tooth decay due to dryness of the mouth and less salivation.
  • Some medicines that are used for allergies as inhalers also cause tooth decay.
  • The drugs used to treat asthma such as inhalers may have a higher chance of producing the risk of caries, dental erosion, and gum diseases.
  • Other factors such as poor oral hygiene increase the risk of developing dental issues in these patients. Preventive oral measures should form an important part of the care plan for kids suffering from asthma and allergies.
  • Some kids complain of dental issues with specific food items too.
  • It is important to recognise the association of dental and allergies and other symptoms.
  • Regular dental checkups and cleaning.
  • Avoiding too much consumption of sweets, chocolates and canned foods with preservatives.
  • Encouraging kids to brush twice a day daily. Brushing your teeth at night before bedtime is very crucial for overall dental hygiene.

Homoeopathy Wellness can help you deal with your Allergies and other complaints naturally and hence can reduce the chances of dental caries and other issues in kids. Feel free to contact us.

Cold and Cough

Winters are here and everywhere around us we see kids, the elderly, and everyone suffering from one or other discomfort because of cold.

They can have one or more of the following symptoms.

  • Sneezing
  • Running nose
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Headaches
  • Nose block
  • Breathlessness due to nose block
  • Tonsils

There are so many symptoms that start and then can lead to different infections and fevers.

Many times during the initial stages we can use some home measures and get rid of the symptoms. But with kids, it gets difficult to manage things at home. I feel parents especially moms get anxious if kids are unwell. Even being a medical professional I too get anxious when my daughter is not well.

I would strongly recommend the use of Homoeopathic Remedies. This is the time when kids feel very cranky you need medicines that kids can take willingly. There is no better option than Homoeopathy Believe me I say it out loud with my personal and professional experience.

There is a  general misconception about Homoeopathy that the consultation is lengthy and medicines act slowly. But I will disagree here as there is always the option of acute consultation (quick, short) which takes 15-20 mins. After that immediately medicines can be started which helps kids immediately.

They can get back to their health.

If needed you can anytime consult your GP.

But with colds and coughs, you might have seen there is no definite treatment available and it takes its sweet duration depending upon the symptoms, But this journey can be made sweet and easy for kids with the help of HOMOEOPATHY.

You can also keep Small Homoeopathic Kits handy to use as First Aid Measure during this time.

Sustainable Food and Sustainable therapy.

Sustainable eating involves selecting foods that are healthy for our bodies and the environment. This means we need to choose our foods wisely. The food which provides a balanced diet to us but also maintains the balance of the environment. These are foods grown and processed in a manner that does not harm the environment and they can meet the needs of future generations.

Our Moral responsibility for choosing the right food involves-

  • People need to follow the local diet.
  • Preference for homemade food over the processed and perishable food items.
  • Eat different types of foods.
  • A lot of people’s diet relies on a few types of dishes that limit the nutrients they can get from their food. 
  • You can easily get more nutrients by diversifying the foods you eat. Because of this diverse way of eating, there is less stress on the production of one particular type of food. 
  • This will help the economy and ecology of the respective countries globally.
  • Grow your food. When you grow your food, it will release more oxygen in the environment and also help to absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Growing some of your food helps to cut grocery related bills, and we can avoid consuming harmful chemicals which are added to crops during production and processing.
  • Avoid Wasting Food-I think this is the most important thing which we can do easily. Today approximately 30% of the food is wasted on an average from household purchases. This is a waste of resources and money. To reduce this wastage, everyone should carefully review the food requirements of the family and only buy the required quantity. 
  • Humans have the highest form of consciousness among all the living creatures so we can decide about how we want to utilize the food resources available to us. This thoughtful action about food safety measures and their utilization will impact the availability of the food resources for the future generation. This is a vital part of their health and growth. Good health is always natural, and we cannot artificially produce it. 

When we are talking about sustainable food which nourishes and build our health, we can here speak about the therapy of medicine which is also sustainable therapy which is Homoeopathy. 

  • Homoeopathy is the non -toxic healing form of treatment.
  • It uses significantly less quantity of medicines for their preparation. The shelf life is good and so can be used for many days.
  • It stimulates the vital energy in person with minute doses and helps to feel rejuvenated and healthy.
  • Homoeopathy helps to maintain the economic and ecological balance as the resources are readily available, natural and are not expensive.
  • We should take this moral responsibility to take care of our health as well as the health of our economy and ecology by being aware and conscious of our choices towards food safety.
  • Avoiding unnecassary use of any kind of medicines and over the counter drugs for allergies, colds, skin ointment.

Sustainable Food and Sustainable therapy.

The theme of The World Food Day, which is celebrated on 16th October all over the globe is ‘Food Safety, Everyone’s Business’ for 2020. The theme aims to highlight the shared responsibility we all have towards the safety of food, starting from its production on the farm until it reaches our plates. 

Sustainable eating involves selecting foods that are healthy for our bodies and the environment. This means we need to choose our foods wisely. The food which provides a balanced diet to us but also maintains the balance of the environment. These are foods grown and processed in a manner that does not harm the environment and they can meet the needs of future generations.

  • You can easily get more nutrients by diversifying the foods you eat. Because of this diverse way of eating, there is less stress on the production of one particular type of food. 
  • This will help the economy and ecology of the respective countries globally.
  • Eat more plant-based foods. Today more people are opting for diets made up of plant-based foods such as nuts, beans, legumes, seeds and vegetables. 
  • Grow your food. When you grow your food, it will release more oxygen in the environment and also help to absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Growing some of your food helps to cut grocery related bills, and we can avoid consuming harmful chemicals which are added to crops during production and processing.

Good health is always natural, and we cannot artificially produce it. 

Sustainable food is always local, seasonal, traditional food. This leads to a diverse diet, and because of this various way of eating it keeps the balance of the global economy and ecology.

We should take this moral responsibility to take care of our health as well as the health of our economy and ecology by being aware and conscious of our choices towards food safety and avoiding unnecassary use of any kind of medicines.

MEN’S MENOPAUSE

Homoeopathywellness

Today we are going to talk about some lesser-known facts about men’s health.

I think women’s health issues and concerns, especially about hormonal disturbances, are commonly discussed. But there are many issues about men’s health which are not discussed so often. So today we will speak about Mens Menopause.

Men’s Menopause ( Andropause) – This is something similar to menopause in women.

  • The testosterone hormonal which is responsible for reproductive functions in men starts decreasing. 
  •  The effects of this are not as well known and documented as menopause in a female.
  • They may vary depending on the changes in testosterone levels.
  • The symptoms of andropause appear more slowly and subtly and less severely than in menopause in women.
  • The decrease in the levels of the male hormone, or testosterone, is less severe than the drop in hormone levels for women throughout menopause.
  • This occurs around the age of 40 and onwards.

          Signs and symptoms:

  • Hot flashes
  • Moodiness 
  • Fat build-up around the abdomen and the chest
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Dry, thin skin
  •  Changes in the behaviour pattern, irritability,
  • Excessive sweating
  • Decreased Libido
  • Erectile Dysfunctions.
  • Depressed Behaviour 

  Risk factors 

  • Lack of exercise
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Lack of sleep

Diagnosis-

-The diagnosis of this condition is difficult. Still, research is needed to get the full spectrum of the andropause.

Treatment

  • Awareness about the condition 
  • Taking personal care
  • Support from the spouse
  • Stress and relaxation methods
  • Good sleep 
  • Healthy diet

So next time you see any male with the above symptoms it could be the hormonal changes happening in his body the same as in women.

Eczema – Skin Ailments

Eczema

Today let’s talk about something very important. We will talk about Skin Ailments specially Eczema.

Definition- Eczema – Skin Ailments  ( Atopic Dermatitis) – 

Eczema means Inflammation and Irritation of skin caused by different factors.

It is the hyperactive response of the body’s immune system to the allergens.

Causes –

 1) Allergic conditions like Asthma ,Hay fever.

 2) Family heredity traits.

 3) Allergens as extreme cold weather, food, soaps, detergents.

Conventional Treatment 

  • Generally this tendency is controlled by application of ointments, creams, lotions, and some anti -allergic medicines.
  • In extreme cases steroid based creams and oral medicines are prescribed.

 Consequences –

  • Have we ever thought what kind of long term damage is done specially in kids when we use steroids ointments and specially oral medicine?
  • They give you temporary relief but suppress the body response.
  • When you take steroids based medicines it relieves your symptoms superficially but pushes the disease inside your body from the skin.
  • These medicines basically suppress your immune system.
  • It is very commonly observed that these cases of skin progress to more serious diseases like Asthma,Bronchitis, Autoimmune disorders which need life long treatment.

Health levels- 

  • Mental
  • Emotional
  • Physical
  • Mental level is the deepest of all and Physical is the outer one.
  • If we don’t suppress our physical complaints by excess n unnecessary use of medicines we will be saved at our Mental level which is the most important part of our health to be in Balance and Harmony. 

Precautions-

  • Few simple things which can really save lots of health issues to progress further.
  • When you are diagnosed with some skin conditions try not to apply any creams specially the steroid based
  • Try to find out the allergens causing it.
  • You can keep a diary and see what food or other agents are causing it.
  • Consult the physician when needed.
