Make Peptic Ulcers a thing of the Past

The next time you suffer from a consistent ache in your tummy, consider it as a signal of something more than just a passing discomfort. People from all over the world mistake this recurring stomach ache as aftershocks of a heavy meal but are left to repent later. This gastro-mishap might just be a serious peptic ulcer waiting to become a life threatening health complication and catch you off-guard.

Often ignored or brushed aside as simple stomach-aches, Peptic ulcers (stomach ulcers) are often neglected, only to result into unbearable pain and discomfort.  Characterized by pain in the stomach or the back that last between 30 minutes to 3 hours, peptic ulcers are usually relieved by consuming food or antacids, but once the effect of the antacids wears off, the pain returns to cause discomfort to the individual. Tell-tale signs like Nausea and vomiting are also displayed in cases of Peptic ulcers.

Individuals with certain lifestyles may be more prone to peptic ulcers than others. Those with a family history of stomach ulcers should be on the red alert if they encounter similar discomfort. Individuals who smoke and drink excessively have also a higher risk of becoming probable stomach ulcer victims. Improper diet, irregular or skipped meals and chronic disorders such as liver disease and rheumatoid arthritis may also increase the vulnerability to ulcers. The best advice for anyone suffering from this disorder would be to mend one’s ways and lead a much healthier lifestyle with proper precautions. Leading a stress-free lifestyle could also prove beneficial in the fight against peptic ulcers.

Though many medical cures exist for such kind of stomach ailments, the healing can begin from home itself. Proper sleep and recommended exercises could put you on the right track. Also, consuming Fenugreek leaves, bamboo leaves, hog wood root powder and castor oil, too are great remedies for peptic ulcers.

An alternate way of ensuring a healthier life, free of all kinds of stomach ailments would be Ayurveda. Its powerful herbs and natural remedies provide soothing relief to all stomach ulcer patients. One of the most useful products of Ayurveda is TumsCare. With a formulated blend of herbs, this natural herbal supplement has the ability to cleanse the digestive system by neutralizing the acid and to boost the fight against the ulcer. Its herbal formula has been proven safe, time tested and very effective for thousands of people suffering from the discomfort, acute & chronic pain of ulcers or any digestive disorders.

Amazing how such an age-old science of healing is still giving us solutions to all our health-related questions.

Ayurveda once again leads the charge against such diseases through its time-tested and proven herbal supplements.

Don't Lose Sweat over Cholesterol. Let Ayurveda be the Cure

Good news for those suffering from high blood cholesterol. Two research teams from the New York University Langone Medical Center, have found a new way to increase the levels of so-called "good" cholesterol in mice, a finding that could lead to better ways to prevent heart disease in humans. Funny how almost every cure or medicine for a human disease is first tested on these poor mice, who in a way are proving to be the greatest saviors of the human race.

Cholesterol is an integral part of our body and imbalances in its levels may lead to many health complications, which I’m sure the mice are better aware of than us. On one hand, cholesterol contributes to such vital bodily functions as building new cells, insulating nerves, and producing hormones. On the other hand, it is a potential life-threat due to its association with various cardiovascular problems. High levels of LDL occur in the body due to various factors like unhealthy food habits, lack of movement and exercise, stress and tension. So, lesser the LDL you have in your blood, the safer your arteries are.

Measures to curb this threat could be taken at home itself. Drinking onion juice is believed to facilitate the process of blood purification and improved blood circulation. Olive oil consumption is another remedy that works wonders in reducing high levels of bad cholesterol. Using sunflower seed oil for cooking instead of the regular saturated fats and butter too leads to noticeable changes. Along with this, consumption of coriander seeds, methi seeds and garlic paste have been proven ways of countering blood cholesterol problems for centuries.

Natural herbs and their ability to act against cardiovascular problems are finally getting their long overdue recognition by medical experts. Herbs like Alfalfa, Arjuna, Guggulu , Guduchi (Indian Tinospora), Parijat (Night Jasmine), Manjistha and Holy basil can be used against heart related problems. Take the example of the research carried out by Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, that was successfully been able to link the Cinnamomum tamala leaves with gastroprotective properties (Source of the study)

In a world filled with environmental toxins CHLCare, one of the famous cholesterol supplements from Natural Ayurvedic Care, appears to be an excellent antidote, offering protection from cardiovascular problems. A great combination of minerals, vitamins and herbs, this all-natural product boosts liver functions with increased bile secretion and also purifies blood and muscle tissue. Its herbs are an effective remedy against all cholesterol related problems as well as a nurturing influence on the brain. CHLCare‘s formula nourishes mental functioning, improves learning, retention, nurtures and relaxes the mind.

One of the surest ways of dealing with cholesterol related problems is provided by Ayurveda through its age-old proven natural ways. 

Trust Ayurveda - Forget memory Loss

When was the last time you forgot where you kept your reading glasses, or the car keys, or your slippers? Well, all these may not be direct signs of a chronic memory loss but rest assured almost each one of us experiences some kind of a memory loss at various stages of life. Memory loss could be just a normal sign of ageing or the warning sign of something more ominous.

It is estimated that there are currently 26 million people worldwide suffering from memory loss, commonly known as Alzheimer’s disease. This figure is projected to grow to more than 106 million people by 2050. Chronic memory loss usually begins after the age of 60 and the risk only increases with age. Younger people in their 30s, 40s and 50s may also develop Alzheimer’s disease, but it is rare. More often than not, memory loss finds its origin in hereditary causes.

Alzheimer’s disease displays the following symptoms:-

• ·         Disturbances in memory, attention, and orientation
• ·         Changes in personality
• ·         Language difficulties
• ·         Impairments in walking and movement

The neural pathways of our brain store all our memories in cells known as neurons. When these neural pathways are damaged, it results in memory loss or short-term/long term memory loss. If this disease is left untreated for long, it results in a decline in the intellectual function causing a disease of the brain known as dementia. Though dementia itself is not a disease, but it is caused by other diseases such as Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Pick's disease, Huntington's disease etc. symptoms like disorientation, inability to perform complex tasks, forgetfulness, repetition of words or movements, difficulty in sleeping, behavioral and personality changes, often lead to Dementia.

A few memory boosting tips may include exercising, running, and practicing meditation and tai’ chi, which may not only help in keeping a healthy body, but also help clear the mind. This allows you to focus on more important tasks and reduces the margin of forgetfulness.

Several studies have shown great improvements through specific supplements in the case of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. To further boost your efforts at achieving a better memory, you may consider the new Alzheimer’s supplement, AlzCare. AlzCare is a blend of five rejuvenating herbs which keep the brain cells well-nourished and normalizes the depleted tissue elements by maintaining blood supply and oxygen. This herbal health supplement is a great combination of vitamins, herbs and minerals and naturally boosts mental abilities and acts as a Nervine tonic due to herbal properties found in Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) powder, which soothes and empowers imbalance that are common in older age.

Ayurveda and AlzCare help in improving memory and increase attention, learning, thinking, and reasoning capabilities, naturally.

Say NO to Allergies - The Ayurvedic Way

A buzzing housefly hovering around the nose brings out the most annoying of feelings in the most peaceful of people. Imagine having the same feeling of continuous irritation enveloping your body, all through the day. This is what allergy does to you.

Almost everyone has some kind of an allergy. Water, dust, fur, cloth, sunlight, the list of human allergies is endless. From a red and stuffy nose to itchy, puffy and watery eyes, allergy makes regular functions a really tough task as not only is the body hampered and restricted in its movement, but the mind too remains preoccupied due to this menacing problem. Asthma, eczema and hay fever remain the commonest chronic allergies occurring in childhood.

One of these phenomena is the Hay fever, impacting people of all ages from all over the globe especially in the spring, summer and fall seasons. “A noble gift of nature” I would cynically call it. Hay fever is caused when the trees, weeds and grasses release tiny pollen grains into the air and as we breathe in, these pollens end up in our throats and noses, triggering an allergic reaction. The very same trees that we rely on for oxygen and shade prove to be sort of a dilemma in this regard.

In America alone, more than 26.1 million people experience hay fever symptoms each year. From chronic sinusitis to an abnormal nasal growth, hay fever could prove to be a damaging problem if not treated on time. One way of dealing with it could be by avoiding the substances that trigger the allergic reaction. At home itself, one could simply drink boiled minced grapefruit and lemon with honey as a quick remedy. Having a clean, healthy and Vitamin C enriched diet through the consumption of Rikatu capsules, Peppermint and Pippali, and Aloe Vera juice in your daily diet also has an alleviating effect on your body.

An alternate solution to this problem also exists in the form of Ayurveda and one such allergy supplement is AlgrCare. With its antihistamine properties, this herbal supplement helps in eliminating the allergens from the body, thus promising a two-folded solution to allergies. It has powerful anti-oxidant properties that make AlgrCare the complete herbal solution to all kinds of allergy-related problems. The herbs constituting AlgrCare also have a holistic influence of balancing and nourishing the entire physiology.

Ayurveda still remains a holistic solution to all our health related problems.

Keeping your Blood Pressure in Check

The “white coat effect". A study done at the University of Aberdeen showed that doctors have a dramatic impact on patients with high blood pressure levels. Studies showed that the "white coat effect" saw unexpected blood pressure level increases in hypertension patients.

Even though Hypertension can never be taken carelessly, the study still produced an interesting fact when it came to hypertensive patients. The tests pointed out that blood pressure levels increased by as much as 29 units when a doctor checked it, compared to an increase of 17 units once a nurse took the measurement. A small fact, which the hospitals should definitely consider to speed up the recovery of their patients. But still, high blood pressure remains a major risk factor for many serious conditions. HBP has a deep and damaging impact on all age groups and the problem has threateningly crept into the lives of our children as well. Facing such a major health risk at such a tender age would definitely prove to be a roadblock to their further development.

Public awareness about the ill effects of hypertension has been on the rise recently. Treatment of the same requires changes in the patient’s lifestyle, from a healthy balanced diet to regular exercise and weight management. In fact even a minor change in the body weight could make a major difference in lowering high blood pressure. Another way to lower BHP is by limiting or eliminating the amount of salt intake in the body which could reduce blood pressure by 5 mm Hg.

An alternate way of treating this unhealthy condition is through Ayurveda, which is a stress-free and natural method for balanced overall health of the body and mind. Consumption of grinded garlic with buttermilk or lemon juice with honey does the body a world of good and also lowers high blood pressure. Powdered cumin and fennel seeds mixed in water have also proven to help those suffering from blood pressure imbalances.

Another herbal supplement that has proven effective for hypertension treatment is PressureCare. Consisting of time-tested herbal ingredients, this superb supplement helps patients who suffer from high blood pressure, anxiety or insomnia. This completely natural and safe hypertension supplement has proven itself to be a tremendously effective remedy for lowering high blood pressure. PressureCare consists of Arjuna, which has been the herb of choice in Ayurveda for cardiovascular health.

One should never compromise with health and Ayurveda, with its proven herbs and supplements, is the right option for a great health.

The Natural Way to a Diabetes-free Life - Ayurveda

366 million. This is the approximate number of people who are expected to suffer from diabetes worldwide in the year 2030. The staggering estimate would be a gigantic leap from the current number of 171 million, which in itself is a scary figure. Right now, developing countries are home to the majority of diabetics who are above the age of retirement. One the other hand, in developing countries, those most frequently affected are range between the ages of 35 and 64. Population growth, unhealthy diets, obesity and sedentary lifestyles are the major precursors of the onset of this global epidemic.

The number of deaths attributed annually to diabetes is around 3.2 million. Estimates suggest that 6 deaths are attributed to diabetes or related conditions every minute all over the world. “Diabetes is a major threat to global public health that is rapidly getting worse and the biggest impact is on adults of working age in developing countries," avers Dr Catherine Le Galès-Camus, WHO Assistant-Director General, Non-communicable Diseases and Mental Health.

Anomaly in the levels of blood sugar in the body can lead to highly imbalanced health conditions and a disrupted life. Hyperglycemia can cause damage to the vessels that supply blood to vital organs, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems in people with diabetes.  

What are even worse are the huge costs involved in recovering from diabetes. Given the chronic nature of the disease and the severity of its complications, diabetes is a very costly disease for the patients as well as their families. Diabetes treatment depends on the type and severity of the diabetes. Type 1-diabetes can be taken care of by taking prescription diabetes medications on schedule, by exercising regularly, eating regular meals and by drinking sugar-free and caffeine-free liquids. Type 2 diabetes is first treated with weight reduction, a diabetic diet, and exercise. When these measures fail to control the elevated blood sugars, oral medications are used. If oral medications are still insufficient, insulin medications are considered. Apart from these, patients suffering from diabetes also have a simple and painless solution to their high-blood sugar woes. Measures can be taken at home to control blood sugar levels by regularly consuming bitter gourd, amla, tulsi and neem leaves, fenugreek seeds with milk, and shilajit.

Ayurveda too has over the centuries proved itself to be an alternate yet highly effective way of dealing with diabetes. Through its all-natural medicinal herbs and natural supplements, Ayurveda has been tried and tested by millions of people worldwide and recognized as a valuable remedy for diabetes. One such herbal health supplement is DBCare, which is made up of a unique combination of organic herbal extracts aimed at maintaining healthy glucose levels / lower high blood sugar levels. It also helps in stopping the constant sugar cravings in patients in a simple and natural manner. Consisting of a blend of eleven well-known powerful organic herbs, DBCare takes care of all blood-sugar related problems. It is a completely natural, non-toxic, fast acting and immensely effective diabetes protection product, which can be consumed without any tension of side effects like sugar level fluctuations or fatigue and anxiety.

Along with regular medications, diabetic patients should always try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a balanced emotional state to create a perfect harmony between the mind and the body.
