There is always an underlying symptom for oedema. Oedema means an accumulation of fluid in the tissues or organs. People suspect such an accumulation in the ankle areas and it is called as Pedal oedema. It is nothing to be alarmed about but your physician would do well to rule out the various causat ive factors to find the apt mode of treatment. In ambulatory or mobile people if there is a swelling it is typically as the day progresses and when there is pressure in the ankle areas. There is relief after a period of rest but the relief diminishes as the day progresses. This fluid retention could occur in either both the lower limbs or only one which is also an indicator of any underlying condition. In cases of injury to any of th...
Homoeo call Don’t break into a sweat before socialising with new people. Instead, fight social phobia. If you have an overwhelming fear at the thought of having to socialise with new people, or if you are wary that they may say something embarrassing that you get anxious to the extent of getting palpitation and sweating, perhaps you suffer from social phobia. A feeling of self-consciousness, nervousness or a dislike towards attending a social function is not unusual but if there is a miserable feeling before, during and after a get-together, it needs to be addressed. If a person has the problem of speaking or performing in public and their anxiety pertains only to the area of his work, it is called specific social anxiety...
Environment triggers the autoimmune problem for many. Even as the nutritional disorders are being corrected with proper diets and infectious diseases are tackled, it seems to be the turn of our immune mechanism to lose its way in retaining the proper metabolism by attacking its own tissues. This is beca use of the environmental changes influenced by man’s changing lifestyles apart from the burden on natural resources. There is a similar autoimmune condition which is growing in number called Scleroderma which causes a fibrosis or hardening of tissues and that can occur in various vital organs of the body starting with the skin, gastrointestinal system and not rarely in the heart and kidneys too. The keynote of this disease is...
Homoeo call The effect of stress can vary on each individual Stress as such has not killed anybody but can be a deterrent to physical and mental health that it affects the quality of life and predisposes one to various illnesses and thereby is a cause for concern. The fast pace of 21st century has lead one into a quagmire of stress and is difficult to delve away from the constant refrain and now an illness for which there is no apparent bacteria or reason is known is conveniently attributed to stress.

The flu has morphed and is now reaching epidemic proportions Survival of the fittest,” was Darwin’s theory about species trying to remain alive, reproduce better offspring. That is exactly how the virus that causes influenza seems to spread and affect humans as they develop resistance to the earlier strain of their species. To keep the virulence at its peak the virus seems to have mutated. An epidemic is one in which the disease is caused in a population in a short period of time. A pandemic is the occurrence of the disease across continents and that is what the swine flu or the disease termed as A(H1N1) is threatening to spread across the world. This virus has crossed ove...
Every step you take can become painful if attention is not paid. An acute pain in the heel when you take the first step early morning creating a sense of fear to go ahead with the next step? In all likelihood it is because of a condition called as Plantar fascitis or spur calcaneum in which the cushion like band of the heel is affected. The heel of the foot is connected to the calf muscles from behind and stretches along into the foot with a thick band like fibrous tissue which acts as a cushion to see the shocks of each step are absorbed without transmitting to the other bony structures. The broad bone of the heel is called the calcanuem which gives the effortless landing on each step even as it is pu...

Beat the heat and keep summer blues away. Summer is the time when the heat can take its toll and cause heat related illnesses. Heat exhaustion, as it is termed, occurs when there is exposure to intense and hot temperatures. This can lead to cramps and if left unattended, also to heat stroke or sunstroke. We commonly hear people complaining of tiredness and irritability after exposure to heat while the loss of water and essential salts from the system can make one feel drained out. The body tries to balance its temperature at about 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit so that the organs function at a desired pace. This balance is achieved by the body losing water through sweat pores on the skin even as the blood is flu...

Stricture urethra is more common in men than in women An elderly gentleman complaining of an unmitigated urgency for urination is usually suffering from an enlargement of the prostate gland but if the stream of urination is not free in somebody younger it could likely be due to the narrowing of the urethra. Urethra is a fine tube through which urine flows out from the bladder and passes through the external genitalia in men and above the vagina in women. This elastic tube remains patent and is under the control at the neck of the bladder. Due to some reasons there is a narrowing of urethra and urine does not pass out thoroughly and this condition is called as stricture urethra. The condition is more comm...
Reassurance is the key to happiness during the first few days of school It is that time of the year when the young children who have had a spring in their step during the summer vacation find themselves staring at yet another dawn of the academic year with a sense of apprehension and butterflies in their stomach. It is a time of mixed feelings and emotions. Younger children in pre-primary sections are even known to forget toilet training due to the stress of leaving the parents for those few hours. They would need more attention and reassurance. One of the key issues for children is the morning rush just as adults. They should be helped to wake up early a week before the actual school routine starts. They need to get adjusted t...
