Diarrhoea and Homeopathy

Definition:

Frequent and watery bowel movements, increase in frequency of bowel motions, or increased stool liquidity.

Some important Signs and Symptoms of Diarrhoea

  • Cramping pain in the abdomen
  • Needing to get to the toilet urgently.
  • Bloated feeling in the tummy.
  • Increased volume of stools
  • Fever or chills may also be accompanied with diarrhoea.
  • Signs of dehydration such as feeling very thirsty, rapid heart beat, feeling or being sick, and dark looking urine etc
  • In some cases stool contains blood or mucus
  • Nausea or vomiting.
  • Headache.

During diarrhoea, the body loses water and electrolytes in the form of liquid stool. Fluids can also be lost through vomit, sweat, urine and breathing. Dehydration occurs when these losses are not adequately replaced.

Diarrhoea may present in different forms such as acute watery diarrhoea, dysentery (blood in stool), or persistent diarrhoea (more than 14 days).
Diarrhoea causes dehydration. Children are more likely than adults to die from diarrhoea because they become dehydrated more quickly.

Causes of Diarrhoea

The main causes of diarrhoea are poor hygiene, lack of clean drinking water. In children, the trend towards bottle-feeding rather than breastfeeding is the major causes of diarrhea.
Some foods have a laxative affect naturally for instance prunes or figs so over indulgence will give temporary diarrhea.

Acute diarrhoea is usually caused due to accidental intake of infected food or drinks. Once the infection sets in the person has frequent loose motions which may be accompanied by fever, abdominal pain & vomiting. There might be presence of blood &/or mucus in the stools.
Chronic &/or recurrent diarrhoea i.e. repeated bouts of diarrhoea with/without periods of normal motions intermittently, could have many other causes like tuberculosis of the intestines, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption, ulcerative colitis etc. Detailed investigations are needed in such cases to find a cause before treatment can be started.

DIETARY ADVICE:

  • It is very important to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated .
  • It is better to avoid food until the diarrhoea has stopped, but if you do want to eat then consume light, nourishing meals such as homemade soups and plain crackers.
  • Avoid protein for two days to rest the digestive tract.

Homeopathic Medicines for All Practitioners/Psychiatrists

Regrettably, formal medical systems especially Allopathy have never acknowledged the wonders of homeopathy despite the fact that it is purely based on scientific principles, works gently and secretly to restore complete health without leaving any side effect. Homeopathy is not to be condemned if a patient does not find relief with the homeopathic treatment. It is in fact the mishandling of the case according to the symptoms of the patient. Dr. E. B. Nash from USA has rightly said “Homeopathy is too often blamed when the blame lies in the stupidity of the prescriber”. So a Homeopathic doctor may fail but homeopathy never fails. Regardless of criticism and sarcastic attitude against homeopathy, the doctors from other medical systems at times do approach the homeopaths for treatment but ‘behind closed doors’ as they are well aware of the side effects of medicines. It would be surprising for the allopaths that all the Gurus/Masters including the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Hahnemann were recognized allopath physicians of their time and what they have contributed for homeopathy will always be remembered in history. The significant role of allopathy in the present age can never be neglected in certain areas of treatment. However, the role of homeopathy having tremendous research on physical and mental ailments is also to be given due respect and acknowledgement. There are numerous ailments of different nature where other medical systems do not offer any decisive treatment. Listed below are a very few disorders with suggested homeopathy remedies.

Tip of the day

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) Foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary
chemicals according to 'schedule.'


Because :

Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals
(detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).
This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their
homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am :is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am :detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am :detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 am :absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you
should be having breakfast at this time.Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits,
and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all..

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS


1. No Breakfast

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing
malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain
efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the
death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and
decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of
the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may
cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Why People are Hesitant of acknowledging Homoeopathy

On 28th of May, 2009, the proprietor of a Travel Agency who is well known to me visited my clinic with a complaint of bruised pains all over his body for the last one week. As he is diabetic, I enquired him about the last sugar test he carried out from the laboratory. He told that the sugar level of both Fasting and Random was within the range. He further informed in a defiant way that he never used homeopathic medicines throughout his life. I therefore advised him to go to his family allopath physician for his treatment. “I did so but no relief” was his answer. Now what do you want from me, I asked? “Certainly the homeopathic treatment”, he replied hesitatingly. I just smiled and dispensed the combination of Arnica-200 + Rhus tox-200 to take it twice a day. The next day on 29-05-2009, he told that there was absolutely no relief. I was a little bit surprised but still gave 3 drops each of Arnica-1M and Rhus tox-1M in some water and advised him to report after an hour. But again his reply was a big NO. I feel insulted by his NO but was sure that he was lying. I excused with him to go for further treatment. On 30-05-2009, he tried to fabricate a story of taking Paaiy (Nihari) during the last week on the advice of his friend and was feeling well. In fact he was entrapped by his own statement of taking the Nihari soup a week ago whereas he started taking homeopathic medicine after 4-5 days. Then which of the two treatments brought him relief? Finally he had to admit in a ‘defeated tone’ that he was recovering with these medicines. Why do people hesitate in acknowledging the efficacy of homeopathic treatment?
