When the light is too bright, people can have trouble. Our skin is a wonderful organ in the sense that it can ward off many an environmental influence to affect our body including the pathogens. It maintains the equilibrium so as to keep the internal mechanism working without any hiccups. Heat of the su n and the light rays including ultraviolet rays can be deleterious for the harmony of the body and the skin has an innate capacity to shield our body from this too but in many a case it can falter to cause sunburn. Photosensitivity is a condition in which the skin turns sensitive to exposure of light predominantly the sun. This condition can also occur if one is more susceptibile to light and it is also common in individuals who...
It is not just a source of embarrassment. Apart from the fact that Psoriasis can cause arthritis if it remains for about a decade the more disconcerting feature is that it affects the quality of life. Dry, sore, cracked skin with areas of exfoliation either on visible portions of the body or even the scalp wherein the flaking can be source of embarrassment. The normal skin cells produced along the lowest layer gradually move up and are flaked off as they dry from the outermost layer and the cycle takes about 25-30 days. But if the production at some areas of the skin seems to speed up and more cells are formed pushing the already healthy layer to be flaked off even as they are useful causes dryness...
Psoriasis runs in phases, hence it calls for a close watch. How do you feel when you extend your hand out to someone and the person recoils at the sight of the dry skin on your hand, or when your barber gets visibly uncomfortable handling your flaky scalp? Due to the cosmetic disturbance it can create on the skin, embarrassment is what psoriasis can assure if someone has been suffering with it. Psoriasis appears as raised, red patches over the skin with silvery scales. It is often accompanied by irritation leading to itching, which worsens the scaling. The dry and windy atmosphere during winter usually makes such a condition worse as the dryness of the affected area increases. ...
It is the time of the protracted monsoon time in our State. Though advent of rain brings cheer but the undue prolonged rains bring with them a host of unwanted diseases one needs to be wary about. But there are ways and means to keep them at bay too. Rain means collection of water in puddles in around our houses. One needs to be cautious about such areas and promptly be discarded like the water collection in plastic covers, old unused buckets etc. as it would be an ideal place for the mosquitoes to breed and multiply. Mosquitoes are carriers of the scourge malaria for ages and has added Dengue to the list of fevers that it can carry and keeping them at bay is the best way of dealing with them rather than looking at exterminating them. Mos...

Homoeo call Diseases of the mouth are common among all age groups and calls for proper care. An infant would not have the necessary vocabulary to express his discomfort, a young child may not be able to discern which is of importance to bring to the notice of his parents and the teenager may be too occupied in his own world to reveal his problem. But then all children leave enough signs for their parents about their problems in the mouth. If the infant is drooling and is wanting to chew on things it is likely to be dentition as during the fourth to seventh month of life the lower middle teeth (incisors) break out and cause an irritation of the gum line. They may get cranky, irritable, cry easily, break up from sleep easily and...
Pain in the heel can be set off by breakdown of spongy tissue and build-up of bone cells You get off the bed one fine day and with the first step, a stabbing pain shoots through your heel. This could be due to a condition called plantar fascitis. The heel bone, or the calcaneum, takes all the weight of the body and is protected by a spongy tissue from jerks and pressures. There is a bowstring-like fascia, which stretches from the end of calf muscles into the base of the soles. Whenever there is an undue stretching of this fascia, it disturbs the spongy tissue and our body, as a protective measure, "heals" the tissue with bone cells. This causes the area to lose its natural function, as the cushioning effect is lost. The pain could be...

But long after the offender is subdued it could still be at its alert self and produce the necessary complexes rich to fight an infection.

Changes in the hormonal balance that can lead to prolonged bleeding in women is a cause for concern. Whether it is a young girl in her teens or a woman in her menopausal age, one thing that can upset their routine and their sense of well-being is their menstrual period being prolonged beyond six or seven days. An occasional occurrence is not a cause for concern, but repeated occurrences need attention. As such, during puberty, the cycles need not be regular; it is also found that some young girls have more frequent menses that last for more than six days associated with heavy bleeding. But this does get corrected as the hormones get balanced in the young system within a calendar year. Lik...
