Sexual Problems:

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called "impotence," is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word "impotence" may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it clear that those other problems are not involved. Erectile dysfunction or ED can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. In various estimation studies, 15 million to 30 million people worldwide are affected with ED to some extent.According to NAMCS, for every 1,000 men in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for ED in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The increase happened gradually, presumably as treatments such as vacuum devices and injectable drugs became more widely available and discussing erectile dysfunction became accepted. Perhaps the most publicized advance was the introduction of the oral drug Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in March 1998. NAMCS data on new drugs shows an estimated 2.6 million mentions of Viagra at physician office visits in 1999 and one-third of those mentions occurred during visits for a diagnosis other than ED.In older men, ED usually has a physical cause such as disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause ED. Incidence increases with age: About 5 percent of 40 year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men experience ED. But it is not an inevitable part of aging.ED is treatable at any age and awareness of this fact has been growing. More men have been seeking help and returning to normal sexual activity because of improved, successful treatments for ED, most notably the Ayurvedic & Unani systems of medicine.

Since an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, area around the penis and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa. Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED. Diseases—such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease and neurological disease—account for about 70 percent of ED cases. Between 35 and 50 percent of men with diabetes experience ED.Lifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of erectile dysfunction. Smoking, being overweight and avoiding exercise are the possible causes of ED.Also, surgery (especially radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer) can injure nerves and arteries near the penis, causing ED. Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder and pelvis can lead to ED by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries and fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa.In addition, many common medicines—blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants and cimetidine (an ulcer drug)—can produce ED as a side effect.Experts believe that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem and fear of sexual failure cause 10 to 20 percent of ED cases. Men with a physical cause for ED frequently experience the same sort of psychological reactions (stress, anxiety, guilt, depression). Other possible causes are smoking, which affects blood flow in veins and arteries and hormonal abnormalities, such as not enough testosterone.

A prolonged or continuous erectile dysfunction can often point to an underlying medical advice & treatment. Otherwise it will destroy one's happy life, create rifts & tensions in the relationship between married people, leading to conflicts & emotional pain thus paving way to end their lives by committing suicide.

Our cure for ED is a course of treatment consisting of rare Bhasma, Rasayanas & Herbo mineral combinations of Ayurvedic & Unani systems. Our treatment has proven effective in innumerable cases resulting in complete recovery to normalcy. Once strong erections are restored they are almost always long termed and there are no side effects.

Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation (PE) means 'coming too quickly'. It's one of the commonest of all sexual problems. Approximately 40 per cent of total men face this problem 'always' or 'often' or 'sometimes'. It's more common in younger men, which is not surprising as there's a distinct tendency for it to improve with age. Men generally get better control, as they grow older. This problem is curable. Though not considered fatal,

this problem makes people unhappy and frustrated and in severe cases PE can threaten or even ruin a marriage - simply because it spoils the sex lives of both partners. Sometimes, the condition is so bad that the man cannot even manage to have intercourse because he invariably ejaculates before he can get into the vagina. This can be devastating for a man's self-confidence and it can be hugely frustrating and annoying for his partner too. However, most men merely find PE a considerable irritation - a condition that makes them 'come' very soon after they enter their partners (say, after only one to two minutes), so that neither party gets a lot of satisfaction. One of the major contributors towards this problem is wrong or misadventerous sex practices during early days. Anxiety too  ('nervousness') plays a part in many cases of PE. If you're nervous, you're likely to come too quickly. That's why many males have discovered for themselves that a small amount of alcohol eases their nerves and makes them less likely to climax prematurely. But alcohol is not recommended as a treatment! In very mild cases (for instance, if you can 'last' a good five minutes but would like to last 10), there's probably no point in going to a doctor because you should be able to improve matters by simple 'distraction techniques'. This means turning your mind to something else when you sense that a climax is near. For instance, you can:

Think very hard about something totally unconcerned with sex.
Pinch yourself hard.
Bite the pillow.

Some men try to treat themselves with a local anaesthetic gel. This product is advertised to the public as a good way to 'damp down' sexual sensation in the penis. But the local anaesthetic can 'dull' the sex sensation for the partner and secondly it can sometimes cause a distressing skin sensitivity reaction. In more severe cases, it is best to consult an expert for treatment. Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine are claimed to be very effective in treating this problem.

Naturoveda offers a treatment combining Ayurvedic and Unani principles in the treatment of Premature Ejaculation with superior results.

Retarded Ejaculation

The term 'retarded ejaculation' (RE) means inability of the man to reach a climax. However, in most of the cases, the sufferer can actually achieve orgasm during masturbation – but not during sexual intercourse. RE is the third most common male sexual disorder – after erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE). The old term for this condition was ‘ejaculatory incompetence' but that unfortunate expression is now being dropped because it suggested that the person was 'incompetent' in some way. So, most sex therapists now prefer to say ‘retarded ejaculation'. This disorder is not all that common, and nowhere near as frequently seen as the other two main male sexual problems. It tends to occur mainly in men who have been rather strictly brought up and who are very 'controlled' in their lives. Some of them have terrific ‘drive’ and detachment, and have risen almost to the top of their professions. They may have difficulty in showing emotions and in 'letting go'. Other possible causative factors, which have been identified by sexologists include:

In his youth, a man may not feel that he has any problem and indeed may well assume that all other men are the same as him. When they first have intercourse, these guys are often very popular with their partners – for the simple reason that they can keep going for two or three hours! But when they get into a regular relationship, especially one in which the couple hope to have children, RE can be a major problem. Both the man and woman may become sore and frustrated and the female partner often feels resentful (or even insulted) that her man does not ejaculate when they make love. Not surprisingly, it is common for men with RE to have had several broken relationships – because their partners have decided that they want somebody who can ‘come'. Sometimes the man seeks help after a divorce. More commonly, a couple may ask for treatment when they are getting desperate to have a baby. Nearly always, RE is found more to be a psychological problem. But there is one major exception. Ejaculation problems quite often occur suddenly in men who have had no previous difficulties but who have recently been put on certain medications, particularly antidepressants, by their doctors. In these cases, a change in medication will usually cure the problem. Excessive use of alcohol can also cause difficulty in ejaculation, as can some ‘recreational’ drugs. Serious spinal injuries can also create major problems with achieving ejaculation. They are outside the scope of this article but it is worth noting here that men who have this type of injury can produce an ejaculate and can therefore father children by means of electrical stimulation of the prostate area (‘electro-ejaculation’). There have been many authentic claims made for yoga, Ayurveda & Unani as modes of treatment.

Retarded ejaculation is a frustrating condition for both partners. But with some expert help  and a determination to persist with therapy – you can defeat it.

Small Penis

 Man gives importance to his male organ because that is an inseparable part of reproductivity through which generation & generation of people came and the world went on growing. Male organ is the vital part of sex play, which is one of renewable pleasures to mankind.

Childlessness (Infertility)

Being born a human is a blessing and being able to reproduce is a double one. In our society, to a woman, unable to bear a child is an unbearable suffering. And suffering knows no barrier, no caste or creed, no religion or region. That is a living suffering, the suffering of human race. Infertility/childlessness causes great personal suffering and distress. Most of the agony and misery is hidden from the public gaze and that is why this topic is still not talked about openly. The reasons for the lack of public support to the

childless couple includes the dismal ignorance about the causes of infertility and its treatment. Infertile couples are socially isolated and emotionally very vulnerable. More and more couples are showing up at fertility clinics these days searching for answers, hope and eventual parenthood. Almost all the couples expect to have their own babies once they get married. But getting pregnant is like a game of odds or game of luck. It is impossible to predict when an individual couple will succeed in achieving pregnancy. There are many reasons for this including the fact that some eggs do not fertilize and some of the fertilized eggs do not grow well in the early developmental stage. However over a period of one year the chance of achieving a successful pregnancy is between 80% and 90%. In other words, 7 out of 8 couples will be on their way to becoming parents within a year. These are the normal "fertile" couples and the rest are labeled as "infertile".  If you have been having sexual intercourse two or three times a week at about the time of ovulation without any form of birth control for a year or more and have not become pregnant, you meet the definition of being "infertile". Couples who have never had a child are said to have "primary infertility", those women who have become pregnant at least once but are unable to conceive again are said to have "secondary infertility": The chances of achieving pregnancy for a couple in a given cycle depends upon many factors and the most important ones are:

            * With the age of the woman, as the biological clock ticks on, the    number of eggs and their quality                             starts decreasing.
            * Frequency of intercourse: Couples who have intercourse less frequently have diminished chances of                            conceiving.
            * "Trying time," that is how long the couples have been trying to get pregnant. This is an important
                concept. The longer a couple has been trying to conceive without success the lesser their chances of                 getting pregnant without medical help.
            * The presence of fertility problems

These are certain conditions that require seeing a doctor/ physician sooner:

            -Periods occurring at three-week (or less) intervals
            -Periods not occurring for longer than three months
            -Irregular periods
            -A history of pelvic infection
            -Two or more miscarriages
            -Women over the age of 35, time is now running out
            -Men who have prostate infections
            -Man whose testes are not felt in the scrotum
            -Men with a low sperm count

According to physicians of Naturoveda, if infertile couples had 300 years in which to breed, most wives would get pregnant with out any treatment at all. Of course time is limited, so the odds need to be improved. And this is where medical treatment comes in. In the past, infertility was blamed wholely and solely on the woman. Perhaps this was because the male psyche equated fertility with virility and viewed failure to father a child with shame. However, research today shows that 40% infertility emanates directly from the man. The commonest reason for this is what modern medicine/allopathy calls "idiopathic" which simply means ‘we do not know’. In allopathy this is one of the reasons why the diagnosis of male infertility is so frustrating for both patients and doctors of modern medicine. In modern medicine, medical treatment for male infertility does not have a high success rate and has unpleasant side effects. This simply reflects the modern doctor's ignorance about male infertility. They know very little about what causes it and their knowledge about how to treat it is even more pitiable. Unexplained infertility simply means the doctors do not know why the couple is infertile. It is a confession of ignorance of modern medicine. But the time tested, age-old traditional medical systems Ayurveda & Unani have evolved very effective treatments for infertility in male & female.

 At Naturoveda, treatment is prescribed according to the individual requirements after careful analization of the patient’s condition. For the last 10 years, lots of people were treated with positive results not only in India but also all over the globe. On the onset of the new millennium, the modern medicine is losing relevance and herbal medicines are the only hope for the childless couple. Even though you may be embarrassed and feel that you are the only ones in the world facing this problem you should not forget that you are not alone. Many couple experience infertility and many can be helped.

Male Infertility

In the past, fertility specialists concentrated mainly on the woman when pregnancy failed to occur and she was blamed wholely and solely for the same. May be this was because the male psyche equated fertility with virility and considered failure to father a child with shame. Studies today however show that male infertility is increasing in frequency and 40 % of infertility emanates directly from man. Infact, the number of sperms that men are producing has dropped by almost half during the last 40 years according to several studies. The implications in the sperm decline can have far reaching effects for further generations.
 
The vast majority of men have simply no way of judging their fertility before getting married. Some men may know that they have a fertility problem: for example- they may suffer from sexual problem of impotence, which prevents consummation of the marriage.

The most important test is a simple & inexpensive “Semen Analysis” and for a semen analysis a fresh semen sample not more than half an hour old is needed after sexual abstinence for at least 2 to 4 days. If this test is done badly by poorly trained technicians in ill-equipped laboratories, the results can be very misleading. If the sample has less than 20 million sperm per ml, this is viewed to be a low sperm count and less than 10 million is considered very low and this deficiency is called ‘oligospermia’. Some men have no sperm at all and this deficiency is identified as ‘azoospermia’. Semen in these patients looks absolutely normal; it is only on microscopic examination that the problem is detected. Then it is found out whether the sperm is moving well or not- i.e. sperm motility. Normal shape of the sperm is also taken into account. During ejaculation the semen spurts out as a liquid, which gels promptly. This gel liquefies again in some 30 minutes so as to allow free motility to the sperm. If the gel is in thick consistency or fails to liquefy, it indicates a problem, normally one of infections of the seminal vesicles and the prostate. The presence of sugar called fructose is also considered. This sugar provides energy for sperm motility and its absence points to a block in the male reproductive tract.

Researchers are of the opinion that toxic chemicals in our environment are one the causes for declining sperm counts and occupation hazards are also causing low sperm count. People become contaminated with the toxic chemicals via food chain due to the increasing use of synthetic pesticides & chemical fertilizers. Those who are working in places where there is much exposure to heat or chemical oriented industries are much prone to declining sperm count. However there are more than environmental and occupational hazards that threaten male fertility. Some common medications prescribed by doctors in modern medicine have shown the same disastrous effects as toxic chemicals in declining sperm counts. Besides this, too much of coffee, cigarette, marijuana drugs & alcohol are also the culprits for male infertility.

Beyond semen analysis there is anti sperm anti bodies test, semen culture test, post coital test & bovine cervical mucus test. Some men possess antibodies against the sperm which immobilizes or kills them and prevents them from swimming up towards the eggs.Ayurvedic & Unani systems of medicine successfully treat all time inabilities by activating the body mechanism to increase the sperm count & size, motility of semen etc.
Besides this, venereal diseases those communicable through intercourse also affect male infertility. Impotency is the main culprit of infertility. This can be treated and cured successfully. In modern medicine, medical treatment for male infertility does not have a high success rate and has unpleasant side effects. This simply reflects the modern doctors' ignorance about what causes it and their knowledge about how to treat it is even more pitiable.
 
Thus the causes for male infertility are low sperm count, blockage & other impairments due to diseases, injury and sexual dysfunction such as impotency. Do not loose heart; a blend of Ayurveda and Unani has the potential of treating it successfully.

Masturbation

Masturbation is a deliberate stimulation of the genitals for pleasure i.e. to ejaculate semen with the help of hand and produce friction by to and fro movements till ejaculation is reached. Various other methods such as making coital movements against bed cloth, a pillow,pressing against some objects etc are also noticed.  Men develop this habit due to bad company for the momentary physical enjoyment. Gradually

they get addicted & accustomed to this bad habit and it becomes difficult for them to get rid of it. They are not aware of the truth that this momentary enjoyment weakens them. When they grow, they are too weak to enjoy their married life. Excess masturbation seriously affects the full development of genitals (penis). This leads to mental & physical weakness and destroys self-confidence. They will become sick of society with irritating & frustrated temperament. In many cases excess masturbation leads to frequent night discharge and passing of semen before or after urination. Digestive system becomes weak and because of this their health deteriorates even after taking rich diet. To come out of this bad habit one needs a strong will power. If this habit becomes obsessive or compulsive then it is necessary to consult for a cure. Masturbation is not a good habit and it should be avoided to make life happier & healthier. 

In Ayurveda and Unani systems of treatment, there are effective medicines to get rid of such a bad habit.

Nocturnal Emissions

Most people stop urinating in their bed before the age of six (hopefully). Still many young teenage boys and even some men wake up in the middle of the night with wet sheets and underpants. They experience something called nocturnal emissions or "wet dreams." Nocturnal emission is the technical term for the experience of having an orgasm and then ejaculating while sleeping. There is a difference between nocturnal orgasms and nocturnal emissions because males can have a nocturnal orgasm (a sexual climax) without ejaculating (an emission of fluids, including semen). Females have nocturnal orgasms as well but there is no emission (as explained in another section). The important thing to understand is that there is nothing wrong with a male if he experiences a nocturnal orgasm or nocturnal emission, as they are normal and healthy experiences.

The only problem with a nocturnal emission we can think of is the wet spot it leaves. Starting between the ages of 10 and 12, males begin going through the process of puberty. During this stage, teenage boys start to produce sperm and gain the ability to ejaculate. It is at this time that most males experience nocturnal emissions sometimes even before they learn about masturbation. While sleeping the male's genitals may rub against the bed or sheets or he may unknowingly stimulate them himself. When this happens, the male may become so sexually aroused that he has an orgasm (even if he is not awake to enjoy it!) along with a nocturnal emission.

A boy's first nocturnal emission tends to cause the most confusion and worry. Most parents don't tell their sons what orgasms and ejaculations are before hand. Therefore, the first nocturnal emission is something that the adolescent boy is unfamiliar with. He may think something is wrong with his body: "Do I have cancer or some kind of disease?". He may fear that he has urinated in his sleep. Most adolescents don't want to have to explain to their parents why there is a wet spot in their bed and this causes fear as well. The truth is that nocturnal orgasms and emissions are natural and the wet spot will dry up quickly, though unfortunately it leaves a yellowish stain. Another confusing aspect of a boy's first nocturnal orgasm is the feeling of pleasure and arousal that he feels if he is awakened by it. If the boy has never experienced an orgasm before (via masturbation or otherwise), these pleasurable feelings are strange, yet at the same time enjoyable. Nocturnal orgasms may indeed lead a male to experiment with masturbation in order to experience those sexual feelings again.

Teenage boys typically begin masturbating earlier than girls and do it more frequently which helps them learn more about sexuality and sources of arousal. While most parents do not teach their children about orgasms, let alone "wet dreams," an adolescent's friends and peers may attempt to play the Sexpert role. While hearing his friends joke and tease about these things may help to alleviate some fears in the mind of the inexperienced boy. Adolescent males going through puberty tend to act like they know everything there is to about sex, when they in fact know very little at all. Therefore if you are a young male and you are afraid of being ridiculed or teased because you "came in your bed," now you know there is nothing wrong with it. More than likely, the boy who teased you has experienced the same thing. Finally, if you haven't had nocturnal orgasms don’t worry about that either. Not everybody has them and some males don't experience one until later in life. Don't expect too much from yourself especially if you are a younger teenager or preteen. Sexuality is something everybody gets to experience; some people just wait longer than others for their time to come.

All types of Pain:

Arthritis

Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. In many parts of the world the disease is called rheumatism, named after the town where it first appeared. To the frustration of modern medical science, the disease remains a mystery even today. ‘Arthritis’ is not just one disease. The word means ‘inflammation of the joints’ and it includes its painful embrace in over 100 distance disease forms. Arthritis may be a mild swelling of a single joint which yields easily to a month of drug therapy, nutritional therapy or no therapy at all or it can be a vicious, agonizing condition that spreads through every joint in the body. It can be caused by bacteria, virus, by a disruption of body chemistry or too much stress.

The two most common forms of Arthritis, Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis are real mysteries of modern medicine or allopathy. No one knows why Osteoarthritis, a wearing away of cartilage so common that doctors call it a part of the normal aging process, remains a mere nuisance for some people but becomes crippler for others.
Also unknown is why rheumatoid Arthritis follows such an erratic course. It can appear, lie quietly for a number of years & then flare up. It can spread progressively & cause complete disability. Arthritis in other words can be harsh, unpredictable, frustrating and a disease against which modern medical science has provided highly questionable medicines; powerful drugs that in the works of one text book of medicine can cause greater illness than the underlying disease. An Arthritis patient is in pain all the time and this affects his/ her personality. They are often tense & stiff. They have disturbed sleep, often irritable and not in a physical or mental state to cope with demands & stresses of life. Every family member has to adjust to the situation created by the presence of an arthritic member.

There are over a hundred different types of Arthritis, some with devastating effects on your future health. Careful diagnosis as soon as symptoms are noticed is important. Early detection & prompt treatment can help relieve pain & prevent later complications. Ayurvedic & Unani herbal medicines are the only cure to Arthritis available today.

According to the U.S. National Arthritis foundation there are four major warning signs:
1.         Persistent pain & stiffness on arising
2.         Pain, tenderness or swelling in one or more joints
3.         Recurrence of these symptoms especially when they involve more than one joint
4.         Recurrent or persistent pain & stiffness in the neck, lower back, knees & other 
             Joints.

Females are more likely to have Arthritis than males. Scientists cannot explain why this happens but they do know that of the 31 million adults & children in the states who have some form of Arthritis, more than 20 million are women. About 2,50,000 children have juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis & of those, more girls than boys are affected. Some women develop Arthritis in their early 20’s or at a younger age. Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most serious type. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent joint deformities, disability and damage to the body’s vital organs.
Arthritis is an expensive disease and in U.S.A, it is the nation’s number one crippling disease. Arthritis takes its toll in reduced quality of life for many families and for many individuals. For business & industry it is a costly factor due to absenteeism and loss of productivity. Modern medicine is unable to cure Arthritis and is only treating it with Painkillers & Steroids. But age old Ayurvedic & Unani systems, with their thousands years of existence, enlargement & experience have come out with a potential to cure it with treatment courses for all forms of Arthritis, for old & young alike. It is wrong to believe that Arthritis is not a serious disease. It is dangerous to believe that self diagnosis and self-treatment work for Arthritis. It is not true that Arthritis is only a disease of the old.

Knee Pain

The knees are the most easily injured part of the body. The largest and most complicated joint, the knee is used for everything from standing up, sitting, walking, running, etc. It's a weight-bearing joint that straightens, bends, twists and rotates. All this motion increases your risk of acute or overuse knee injuries.

Acute knee injuries (including torn ligaments and torn cartilage) are often caused by twisting the knee or falling, sports that involve running, jumping and sudden stopping or turning. More common than sudden knee injuries are injuries caused by overuse or overload.

Muscle strain, tendonitis and bursitis may develop gradually over days or weeks. Pain is often mild and intermittent in the beginning and worsens over time. When muscles and tendons are stressed even slightly beyond their capabilities, Inflammation which is part of the healing process is what causes the pain. This tear must be given a chance to heal before subjected to the same activity to avoid overuse injury. Treat overuse injuries early to prevent chronic problems.

Knee pain is commonly caused by doing too much too soon when you haven't exercised for a long period of time - especially high-impact aerobics; walking, running or jumping on hard surfaces or uneven ground, excessive running up and down the stairs.

Knee osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain. Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis involving degeneration of the cartilage. Exercise is vital to maintain strength and flexibility of muscles supporting the knee, which reduces the stress on the knee joint. The risk increases with age. People with knee osteoarthritis may also need to take pain medications and/or other complementary pain treatments.

Runner’s knee is a common cause of knee pain in young people (not just in runners). The pain is usually a diffuse pain behind the kneecap. Symptoms often worsen after climbing stairs, jumping, running or after a period of sitting. Stay away from high-impact activity if you have this condition.

Prevent knee pain by keeping the muscles that support your knees strong and flexible. Walk before you run - before you engage in a strenuous high impact activity such as jogging or running, try walking for a week. Warm up and stretch before working out. Give your body a chance to recover from exercise. If you do high impact activities take every other day off. Doing knee exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the knee are vital for knee pain and injury prevention. Proper footwear is also important especially if walking or running on hard surfaces. Keep your weight under control. Reducing one's weight reduces stress upon the knee.

Most knee conditions respond to a combination of non-invasive treatments such as applying heat or cold, temporarily restraining from activities that aggravate pain and medications that target pain and inflammation. Exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the knee help reduce stress on the knee joint and prevent re-injury.

Ayurvedic & Unani medications have proved themselves efficacious in the treatment of knee pains.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a symptom of a problem with the sciatic nerve. This nerve originates from the lumbar spine and travels through lower back and provides innervations to muscles of buttocks, back of thigh, knee and lower leg. If this nerve is impinged due to lumbar disc herniation or compression or fracture of pelvis, sciatica is manifested in the regions of its nerve supply. Pain, weakness, tingling sensations, numbness are the commonest symptoms associated with sciatica.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is also known as adhesive capsulitis. It is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in shoulder joint. As the condition worsens, shoulder's range of motion becomes markedly reduced. Frozen shoulder usually affects one shoulder at a time, although some people may eventually develop frozen shoulder in the opposite shoulder.

We offer treatments with self-care efforts. Most people with frozen shoulder eventually regain nearly full shoulder range of motion and strength as signs and symptoms improve.

Cervical/Lumbar Spondylitis

Spondylitis is a common degenerative condition of the cervical (neck)/ lumbar (lower back) spine that most likely is caused by ageing, repetitive stress injury due to wrong body postures. It is mostly seen in working professionals from IT and BPO sectors who have long sitting hours. It can cause pain, dizziness, vomiting and weakness in shoulders, upper limbs and lower back with persistent stiffness.

Slipped Disc

Ankylosing Spondylitis

It is a type of arthritis of spine. It is an autoimmune disorder that causes back pain, stiffness and later disability. The discs between the vertebrae get swollen up and cause limitation in the movement. It starts in late adolescence. With time, the stiffness increases and the vertebrae fuse together. It may worsen or improve or stop on its own.

Migraine

Migraine is a condition described as throbbing, pulsating pain in and around head area. It is a painful headache leading to nausea, vomiting and other problems. Migraine could be triggered by food, excitement, music, sleeplessness, stress and anxiety. Hormonal fluctuations also cause migranous attack in some women.

Stomach Disorders:

Constipation

The most common disorder is perhaps Constipation.Those leading an easy,sedentary life and consuming rich food are more prone to it than others.

Usually chronic constipation is a result of faulty diet and life style. Intake of refined and rich foods lacking in vitamins and minerals, insufficient intake of water, intake of large quantity of meat, excessive use of strong tea and coffee, insufficient chewing, overeating and wrong habits of eating and drinking, all contribute to poor bowel functions. Other causes of constipation are faulty and irregular habit of defecation, frequent use of allopathic purgatives, weakness of abdominal muscles due to sedentary habits, lack of physical exercise, emotional stress and tension.

The main symptom of this disorder is the urge to pass stool but inability to do so. If constipation continues for some days, it may lead to a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen and later headaches, lethargy, loss of appetite and total apathy. The inability of the intestine to expel the waste matter leads to flatulence. Constipation continuing for a long period may lead to distention of the stomach and severe discomfort.

Dyspepsia

Gastritis

Gastritis or inflammation of the stomach is a troublesome condition, which eventually gives rise to many life-threatening complications if not treated in time.

 The most common cause of gastritis is overeating and excessive intake of alcohol. Infections like influenza, food poisoning, toxins of gout and swallowing of acids and alkalis also give rise to gastritis. Constipation tends to aggravate the condition more than any other disorder.

The chief symptoms are: - Loss of appetite,nausea,headache and giddiness. There is also a general feeling of discomfort in the stomach, sour eructations and frequent vomiting. If the disease becomes chronic, it may lead to anaemia and consequently emaciation.

Ulcers of the Stomach

The term peptic ulcer is a general term applied to all ulcers in the stomach.Only those persons who are affected with a vatika type of constitution are prone to getting ulcers of the stomach.Aggravation of the vata dosha in the body gives rise to ulcers either in the stomach or duodenum.

The common causes of peptic ulcers are smoking,stress,tension,spicy food,hereditary,alcohol and infection.

Ulcers may be truly asymptomatic or may cause mild discomfort or severe abdominal pain. Most common symptom is localized epigastric pain.The ulcer results in gradual weight loss due to impairment of digestion and defective absorption of food. Pain makes the patient irritable. Sometimes the ulcer may bleed and mix with the stools or in severe cases; the blood may come through the mouth.

Ulcerative Colitis

Female Diseases:


Amenorrhoea and Dysmenorrhoea

Menorrhagia and Metrorrhagia

Leucorrhoea

Skin & Hair Problems:


Eczema

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. There are five types, each with unique signs and symptoms. It appears as patches of raised, reddish skin covered by silvery-white scale. These patches or plaques frequently form on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp. However, the plaques can occur anywhere on the body. Some people also have joint related problems (psoriatic arthritis) and swelling. Psoriasis is a chronic, meaning lifelong condition because there is no cure in modern medicine.

Acne /Pimples

Acne occurs when the follicles under the skin get clogged up due to excessive secretion of sebum (lubricates the hair). This secretion gets infected by bacteria and other pathogens leading to a painful, pus filled eruption on skin. This breaks on its own and leads to scars on the face. It is common with teenagers and youngsters due to hormonal changes during early teenage years. Stress can worsen the condition.

Leucoderma or Vitiligo

Leucoderma is skin condition characterized by gradual decrease of melanin pigment from the skin layers, which results in white patches. The patches look ugly especially in whitish or dark complexioned persons. The condition doesn't cause any organic harm.


The primary causes of leucoderma are mental worry, chronic or acute gastric disorders, impaired hepatic functions, hereditary, typhoid, worm infestation, defective perspiration mechanism and burn injuries.

The disease is characterised by the formation of white patches on the skin. The problem usually starts with a small white spot, which soon spreads into patches. These patches are pale in the beginning but become whiter with the passage of time due to loss of melanin pigments.

Gray hair, Hair fall, Dandruff

Hair is an integral part of the vanity in men and women. Almost all people at one stage of life suffer from some hair problems like graying of hair,hair-fall,dandruff and baldness.

Malnutrition and deficiency of essential elements like zinc and iron are the usual causes of hair loss. Patchy baldness is a common manifestation of severe seborrhoeic dermatitis. Dandruff occurs as a result of unclean habits, hard shampoos, emotional problems, and exposure to severe cold and excessive intake of oily, heavy and sweet foods.

Itching is a common symptom of dandruff. There are no obvious signs of graying of hair except whole gray hairs. Premature graying is usually due to lack of essential nutrients like Magnesium, Copper, Iron and Zinc. Folic acid and Vitamin B6 play an important role in preventing hair loss and graying of hair. Hair dyes and hair dryers promote hair loss. Instead of chemical hair dyes, herbal hair dyes are very safe and effective. Heredity is the most common factor of baldness. Often hair loss is a symptom of some major diseases like diabetes,typhoid,sinusitis and anaemia.

Metabolic Disorders:


Diabetes

Diabetes represents a failure of the body's system in carbohydrate metabolism. When we eat carbohydrates, glucose (blood sugar) is produced and either used immediately or stored for later use. Stored glucose is released into the blood stream whenever we need an added energy boost. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, regulates the level of glucose. As a result, about 30% of .

diabetics need injections of insulin to stay alive. The category of diabetes has evolved over the centuries as clinical observations and physiological investigations have distinguished among different varieties. The Greek word diabetes literally means“a passer through” or "a siphon". The condition was well known in ancient times and recognized by its polyuria and thirst often associated with emaciation. In 1674, Thomas Wills noted the sweet taste of the urine in some cases, making possible the first major sub division of the category into mellitus and insipidus varieties. Diabetes mellitus is defined as "a disorder of nutrition” in which sugar accumulates in the blood and is excreted in the urine, the daily amount of which is greatly increased. In comparison to people with no weight problem, generalized obesity made people only three times more likely to get diabetes.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes in a nutshell can be termed as a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that allows blood glucose/sugar to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy. It is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. How is it caused? The worst part about diabetes is that there are no set rules and causes for diabetes. It is generally believed that genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play key roles. But the truth is that very often the most active health enthusiast might fall prey to diabetes. Type I and type II diabetes; there are different categories of diabetes usually classified as type 1 and type 2 and a type diabetes that affects women known as gestational diabetes.

Type I
Formerly known as insulin dependent, this is an autoimmune disease in which the body does not produce any insulin. This type usually begins during childhood or adolescence. People with type I diabetes must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Type I diabetes accounts for 5-10 percent of diabetes. There are two forms of type1. Immune mediated diabetes mellitus results from an autoimmune process in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. Since glucose cannot enter the cells, it builds up in the blood and the body's cells literally starve to death. The second, idiopathic type I refers to rare forms of the disease that has no known cause. Greater risk for typeI diabetes is in siblings of people with type I diabetes. The main problems faced with type I diabetes are hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, which sometimes is a reaction of insulin. This occurs when your blood sugar drips too low. This problem can be corrected by eating some sugar (such as 3 glucose tablets, 6 ounces of regular soda or 5 to 6 lifesavers). Hyperglycemia or high blood sugar is another problem that occurs in this category. This occurs when your blood sugar is too high. It can be a sign that diabetes is not well controlled. This can lead to ketoacidosis or diabetic coma.

Type II
A metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough or properly use insulin. It is the most common form of the disease occurring when the individual reaches mid forties. Type II diabetes accounts for 90-95 percent of diabetes. This type runs in families. A person can inherit a tendency to get type II diabetes. But it usually takes another factor such as obesity to bring on the disease. Those over the age of 45 with a family history of diabetes are prone to this type of diabetes. Also people who are overweight and who do not exercise regularly are more prone.
Gestational diabetes: this type of diabetes develops in 2 percent to 5 percent of all pregnancies but disappears when the pregnancy is over. This type affects 2-5 percent of all pregnancies or who have had a baby weighing 9 pounds or more at birth. Unfortunately women who have had gestational diabetes are at an increased risk for later developing type II diabetes.

Other specific types:
Sometimes diabetes is caused due to surgery drugs, malnutrition, and infections or as a result of specific genetic syndromes and other illness.

Ayurveda, Unani and Diabetes:

Conventional medicine holds diabetes a disorder, which cannot be cured but only controlled. Once affected, one has to live with it. Whereas,the Unani Hakims say diabetes is not the end of the road. They strongly believe that a total cure is possible through enlivening the inactive pancreatic cells, which are responsible for this condition.

There is a saying among traditional Ayurvedic practitioners that with modern, western drugs, often the cure is worse than the disease. Of course there are many exceptions but where diabetes is concerned, the side effects caused due to constant intake of western medicine of sure leads to various ailments often as discomforting as diabetes itself. The most important difference between western medicine and alternative treatment is that alternative therapies try to make the pancreas once again function at a normal and their natural level. There is no western medicine which rejuvenates the pancreas.

Then why most people did not follow the age-old medicinal methods like Ayurvedic and Unani treatments and save themselves of a lot of agony attained through side effects from western drugs? If you ask us we think the most important problem faced is not the disease but the ignorance about the disease. Take for instance diabetes itself. According to most people, the best way to keep diabetes at bay or keep the sugar level down is to avoid sugar, chocolates and indulging in sweets. The fact is that avoiding sweet things is just one aspect of keeping sugar at the normal level. There are innumerable requirements that a diabetic patient has to adhere to and only then would the sugar level really be kept at a normal level. For example, the patient has to take regular walks and do simple exercises. Basically make certain that perspiration takes place to burn the sugar. There are innumerable things apart from sugar, which have to be avoided. Starchy food like rice, potato & bread should be avoided. Certain vegetables like bitter gourd & French beans are to be consumed more to bring down the sugar level to normal and help insulin to flow. It is only when all these things adhered; the blood sugar level will be steady.

According to physicians at Naturoveda, western medicine has its limitations, as the philosophy is to treat the disease whereas herbal treatments treat the person as a whole. It is for this reason itself that till now there is not a single western drug that can claim to treat and heal pancreas. So if you take western drugs, all you are doing is trying to keep the sugar level at the required level. The main problem that has caused diabetes which is the non functioning of the pancreas is not attended to and thus the patient is either on insulin or on heavy drugs life long which in the end lead to kidney and liver problems.

One point to take note of is that Ayurvedic & Unani medicines are effective only in Type II Diabetes.

If you are on Allopathic drugs, please do not discontinue them abruptly. Ayurvedic and Unani medicines for Diabetes should only be taken after consultation with a genuine practitioner.

Complications:

In type I diabetes, deficiency of insulin secretion caused by destruction of the islets of langerhans is the major abnormality. In type II diabetes there is both insulin deficiency and insulin resistance. The association between these factors is not well understood.

The etiology of diabetes mellitus is a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The strength of the genetic factor is very variable. Until recently, type I diabetes has been regarded as a disease of acute onset. Prospective studies have now shown that people may have islet cell antibodies for up to three years before the onset of diabetes. It has also been shown that children may have glucose intolerance before developing symptomatic diabetes. These findings suggest that the clinical onset of type I may be preceded by a latent period during which islet cell antibodies and impaired glucose tolerance provide evidence of islet cell destruction. Two-factors,virus infection and auto immunity appear to be of  importance in causing destruction of islet cells. If susceptible individuals can be identified during the latent period, the possibility exists of arresting the destructive process.

Type I diabetes is associated with a disease of the microcirculation, which is responsible for the complications of retintitis, nephropathy and some forms of gangrene and neuropathy. Electron microscopy studies indicate that the micro vascular abnormalities occur after the onset of the disease.

Type II Diabetes is associated with disease of the macro circulation manifested by coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease. The fact that vascular changes often precede the onset of diabetes suggests that the metabolic and vascular changes occur independently. As mentioned above, the relationship between hyperglycemia and the increased mortality from cardiovascular disease is not clearly understood. The mortality rate is not fully explained by the known risk factors.

Up to the present time, the life expectancy of patients with diabetes diagnoses before the age of thirty has been 30 to 50percent less than that of the general population. Death has been due to by renal disease in about 40 percent and by cardiovascular disease in most of the rest. There is increasing evidence that good control in type I diabetes is associated with fewer renal and retinal complications and this has now been made easier to accomplish by the introduction of insulin infusion pumps and frequent monitoring of blood glucose. The presence of microalbuminaria predicts renal disease many years later in both type I and type II diabetes. Photocoagulation in some types of early proliferative retinopathy can delay visual loss. The need for regular ophthalmologic screening of diabetics is now well established. Screening for microalbuminuria is not yet established as a routine procedure.

The high degree of concordance in identical twins suggests that genetic factors play an important role in type II diabetes and that clinical diabetes is unmasked by environmental factors mainly in genetically predisposed individuals. This unmasking of diabetes by environmental change probably explains the emergence of diabetes as a common health problem in many groups of North American, Indians and the natives of some pacific islands.

About 80% of patients with type II diabetes are obese at the time of diagnosis. The strongest predictor of type II diabetes is Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) as defined earlier.

In allopathy, there is no evidence that it can delay complications or cure diabetes. Only natural medicines like Ayurveda & Unani are successfully treating diabetes.

Obesity

During the past 20 years, the problem of obesity among adults has risen significantly around the world. Many new researches on this problem confirm that over 80 million people are obese. This increase is not limited to adults. The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled since 1980. Among children and teens aged 6–19 years, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered overweight.

Being overweight or obese increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions including the following:

Hypertension
Dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides)
Type II diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Gallbladder disease
Osteoarthritis
Sleep apnoea and respiratory problems
Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)

Although WHO has declared prevalence of obesity as one of its main international health objectives, current data indicates that the situation is worsening rather than improving.

Obesity and overweight are chronic conditions. Overall there are a variety of factors that play a role in obesity. This makes it a complex health issue to address. Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance. This involves eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activity. Body weight is the result of genes, metabolism, behavior, environment, culture and socioeconomic status. Behavior and environment play a large role in causing people to be overweight and obese. Overweight and obesity are a result of energy imbalance over a long period of time. The cause of energy imbalance for each individual may be due to a combination of several factors. Individual behaviours, environmental factors and genetics all contribute to the complexity of the obesity epidemic.

TYPES OF Obesity

The fat distribution in the body is identified between the two types of obesity: android & gynoid. Android is the male type of obesity where excess fat is marked in the upper half of the body.

Android: - Android type of obesity is likened to the shape of an apple. The shoulders, face, arms, neck, chest & upper portion of the abdomen are bloated. The stomach gives a stiff appearance. So also the arms, shoulders & breast. The back seems to be erect but the neck is compressed and there will be protruding chest because of the bulk in the stomach. The lower portion of the body, the hips, thighs & legs are thinner beyond proportion in comparison with the upper part. In these persons, the vital organs affected will be mostly the heart, liver, kidneys & lungs. Though this type of obesity is found more in males it is common in females too. Those females who are under hormone treatment for their menstrual abnormalities or after childbirth are more prone to this type of obesity. It occurs in females around menopause due to thyroid gland's functional disturbance. In this type, the excess flesh is less likely to reduce especially in female than males. Android type of obesity is a major risk for heart damage & heart disease due to high cholesterol.

Gynoid: - In this type the lower part of the body has the extra flesh. This type of obesity is also common to both sexes though females are more affected. Gynoid type of obesity is similar to pears. The flesh is somewhat flabby in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks & legs. The face & neck mostly give a normal appearance. In some persons, the cheeks may be drawn too. As these persons grow old the whole figure assumes a stooping posture and the spine is never erect due to the heavy hips & thighs. The vital organs affected mostly are the kidneys, uterus, intestines, bladder & bowels. But the functions of these organs some times have a direct effect on the heart. In this type of obesity, exercises or dieting will not help

appreciably in reducing weight. Here Ayurvedic & Unani herbal medicines are the only hope. One should have more patience & undertake proper treatment to achieve the goal of reducing weight & preventing further weight again.

The third type: -Besides android & gynoid, there is one more type of obesity. Some people do not belong to any of the above type of obesity. Their whole body from head to toe looks like a barrel. Their gait is more to rolling rather than walking. The fat tissues in their body hinder the movement of all the internal organs & consequently affect their brisk functioning. For them any exercise is difficult due to the enormous size of the body. So such persons should follow a strict diet & do plenty of exercise. Ayurvedic & Unani medicines & treatments will help successfully in reducing weight. 

At Naturoveda, thousands of obese people have reduced their weight and are now carrying on with a normal life without any side effects.

Emaciation

If obesity is disliked by all those who are figure conscious, the extremely thin people equally dislike being thin. Such people wish to put on weight. It is a fact that anything that is either in excess or deficient causes disease if left uncontrolled. While obesity causes diseases of vital organs of the body which are degenerative & crippling in origin, emaciation also causes infectious & febrile diseases. That is why someone rightly said, "life is full of extremes & contrast". Two of mankind's most pressing problems seem to be how to keep half the population from starving & the other half from being overweight.

Thinness or emaciation is the condition when there is weight loss either gradually or suddenly. Active illnesses as in any fever like typhoid, measles make one thinner. In such cases once complete cure of the disease takes place and if there is return to normal eating habits & activities, the lost weight is usually regained.

There are three types of people who are extremely thin.

1.    Those who eat well & stay thin.
2.    Those who cannot digest whatever they eat and inspite of a good living because of
       illness or deficiencies remain thin.
3.    Those who are undernourished & over worked.

First Type: -Some children are born thin inheriting their parent's physical built. This can however, not be taken as rule as some times; we can even see very thin children born to stout parents. If the child has a good appetite and is also quite active he/she may remain lean & healthy inspite of being overfed. Some children eat all the time but they never sit still for a minute. They mostly play outdoor games like cricket, badminton & other games that involve constant running. Even at home they are never seen idle. In such cases whatever the child consumes, gets converted into energy because of his over activeness. This type of thinness therefore need not be a cause for worry at all.

Second Type: -In very young children sometimes there are severe deficiencies like Vitamin,Minerals etc. Sometimes they fall sick very often or suffer from some progressive illness, physical or mental and keep on losing weight steadily. No amount of tonics and special food can make them gain weight. The resultant low resistance of the body invites diseases leading to emaciation.

Some people suffering from progressive illness or chronic disorders fail to gain weight inspite of rest & good food. In adults when there is severe anemia caused by worms especially hook worms, emaciation is inevitable. Any attempt to make them gain weight will not be successful without expelling the worms. An Ayurvedic and Unani herbal treatment through natural methods can bring almost a complete cure & general improvement in the condition of the sufferer & slowly weight gain can be achieved.
 
In some young children great appetite is seen where in they eat like grown ups which may seem to be abnormal. The quantity of the stools they pass will also be found to be above normal in such cases. But inspite of this they keep losing weight & remain extremely thin. In such children the main cause for thinness & fatigue is that their intestines are infested with worms. Unless the worms are eliminated such children will remain weak & thin.

Third Type: - Poor eating habits or eating food that lacks nutrition combined with hard work beyond the enduring capacity of the body results in thinness. When thin people lack good health or suffer from diseases which makes them lose weight they experience exhaustion, weakness in their limbs, lack of appetite (in some cases due to poor digestion), desire to lie down or sleep all the time or the other extreme of wakefulness and insomnia, head ache, giddiness etc. The physical & mental fatigue which they feel causes them to have lack of interest in any activity. They tire out very soon. Walking & ascending stairs induces violent palpitation of their heart.
