Skin Glowing

Our Treatments

 

 

Healthy skin requires nourishment and care.


Skin is probably the best indicator of health of an individual and it needs to be pampered for more reasons than one. Wrinkles, that are euphemistically called "character lines", are a bane and need to be kept at bay as they are obvious signs of ageing.


Skin, the largest organ of the body has critical functions like serving as the first line of defence against germs and environment, converting sunlight to Vitamin D and protecting internal organs. The layer of fat underneath the skin controls the loss of moisture and ensures that important fluids are retained. But to keep your skin shining and glowing, you need good nutrition, good hydration, enough sleep and no undue stress. Intake of foods rich in antioxidants, abstaining from tobacco and alcohol also help a lot.


We live in a tropical climate where the blazing sun leads to damage of the skin cells leading to early ageing of the skin and wrinkles. Major antioxidants in the form of Vitamin A, C and E, help in preventing this.


Sufficient amounts of carotenoids, which are converted into Vitamin A by the body, are available in carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, spinach etc. Vitamin C is helpful topically. No wonder you find them in all over-the-counter facial creams. However, intake is still the better option when it comes to this Vitamin, which is found in foods like oranges, grapes apart from broccoli and cauliflower. Vitamin E acts as a good skin conditioner and is available in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives and spinach. The Omega3-fatty acids, apart from being joint and heart-friendly, are also helpful for the skin. Coupled with adequate Vitamin A, they help in maintaining the neutrality of the skin texture. These are aplenty in fish and vegetarians can find them in walnuts etc.


Last but not the least, there should be adequate intake of whole-food in the form of vegetables, fruits, legumes, yoghurt, nuts etc. This help in preventing premature skin ageing and wrinkles.


If there is still a lifelessness and lack of sheendespite adequate intake of nutrients, homoeopathic medicines can help. Dryness of the skin can be countered with Alumina, Psorinum, Plumbum, and Sarsaparilla while excessive loss of moisture through the skin is corrected with Agaricus, China, and Calcarea carb. Oily skin can be treated with Natrum mur and Sepia. Thyroidin and Syph help in maintaining the balance of alkalinity and acidity. Adequate cotton clothing during summer and wearing a cap would protect against the ultraviolet rays.


More fibre


My father suffers from irritable bowels with alternate loose motions and constipation. Can homeopathy help?


Navneet


This happens when the strength and normal mucosal contractions of the intestines, which move the waste, is disturbed. This leads to loose motions or constipation. Increasing fibre in diet would help and Homoeopathy has medicines to see that the situation is corrected. Consult a Homeopath.


Computer glare


I work in front of a computer for at least nine hours every day. Of late, I've been developing headache due to eyestrain. How do I cope with this occupational hazard?


Reema


Once every two hours, take a 15-minute from the screen. See that the reflection of the surroundings does not bounce off the screen. The contrast setting should be high such that the characters are clear and the top of the screen should be roughly at your eyelevel. For now, a simple remedy like Ruta 30 taken three times a day for five days can relieve pain.


After effects


After an abdominal surgery, a catheter was inserted for 24 hours. Six months hence I still have to strain to pass urine with frequent urinary tract infections. Can Homeopathy help?


Abc


Staphysagria and Cantharis can help get rid such infections. Consult a Homeopath who can suggest an appropriate remedy after checking all the details.


Recurring fever


I suffer from regular bouts of fever and chills. There is also swelling of the lower limb, which was diagnosed as Filariasis. What kind of treatment can help?


Abc


Apis mel, Bryonia and Rhus tox help contain recurrence and acute episodes of fever.
