Benefits of Neem Leaves

 

Benefits of Neem Leaves

    • Neem is helpful in removing blemishes and acne scars from the face. Grind some dried neem leaves into a powder, then mix it with rosewater or plain water. Apply this paste to your face and rinse with cold water after a few minutes. It is beneficial for all types of skin issues.




    • Boil a handful of neem leaves in a liter of water. Once the water turns green, strain it and store it in a bottle. Use it as a toner on your face before bedtime. Regular use will help eliminate blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes, and dark circles.
    • Neem oil is also available in the market. Apply it to your face every night and wash with cold water in the morning. You’ll see positive results soon. If you have a fungal infection in your nails, massaging them with a few drops of neem oil can help get rid of it.
    • If your skin is very sensitive and blackheads are not easily disappearing, mix a few drops of neem oil in water and apply it to blackheads. With daily use, blackheads will vanish.
    • For infections in the mouth, rinsing with boiled neem water is very effective.
    • If your hair falls excessively and is also dry, add boiled and cooled neem water to your hair after shampooing. It strengthens the hair roots. Whatever oil you use for your hair, add a little neem oil and massage your scalp. Your hair will grow faster.


    • Some people suffer from excessive heat rashes and severe itching, along with tiny blisters. For this, take equal amounts of neem leaves, mint leaves, and fennel seeds. Boil them in hot water until it turns cold. After bathing, use a muslin cloth soaked in this mixture to soothe the heat rashes.
    • To brighten and rejuvenate your face, wash and dry neem leaves, then grind them into a powder. Mix this powder with rose petal powder, yogurt, and a little milk to make a paste. Apply this paste to your face.  Wash after 15 minutes.
    • Fresh Neem Leaves Paste:
    • Grind fresh neem leaves into a paste. Applying this paste to burns does not cause infection, whether the wound is minor or severe. If you apply neem oil to the wound, it heals quickly.


    • Eating fresh Neem Leaves:
    • Consuming fresh neem leaves from the neem tree not only helps with diabetes but also aids in weight loss.
    • Take half a kilogram of neem leaves and add them to a kilogram of mustard oil. Boil it over low heat until the leaves burn. Strain it and store it in a bottle. This oil is excellent for itchy areas. Apply it to the affected area daily, and God willing, it will relieve all types of itching. It’s also beneficial for eczema.

Acne and its homeopathic treatment

ACNE and its Homeopathic Treatment

The pimpled face of adolescence is so common that it could almost be thought of as normal, four out of five teenagers suffer from acne to some degree, but the majority grows out of, in the meantime, there are preventive measures and treatment which can ease the problem. The mixture of blackheads. Whiteheads and pink or reddish spots caused by Acne Vulgar is occurs mostly on the face, the back of the neck, found in the armpits and on the buttocks, too.

CAUSES.

Acne affects young people of both sexes but tends to be more common in boys. It starts in adolescence because this is when there is great increase in the production of hormones from the sex. Organs and from the adrenal glands. These hormones are chemical messengers. Carried by the blood and transform a child into a sexually mature adult. Under their influence, and posticullarly that of the androgeus, or “Masculimzing” hormones, the oil-releasing sebaceous glands in the skin, which normally produce just enough oil or sebum to keep the skin healthily suppley, become overactive. They release too much sebum, causing a condition called “seborrhea”. The female hormones particularly estrogen, have the reverse effect, which explains-at least in part-why girls are generally less prone to acne than boy’s.

SYMTOMS

Blackheads, accompanied the pink or reddish inflammation which they cause, are the hallmark of acne. It was once thought that the bacteria that naturally thrive on sebum, particularly two called staphylococcus albus and bacillus acnes, were the underlying cause of the acne, but they are now know to be the cause of the inflammation, not the ace itself. In response to the presence of bacteria, which multiply in the blackhead, the blood vessels expend to bring more infection-fighting cells to the site this is the inflammatory reaction. As a secondary effect of ace, the bacterial infection may lead to the development of pimples, which are spots filled with dead white cells and bacteria, or pus. This infection usually only becomes severs, involving the formation of larger boils or abscesses, if the deeper skin tissues become bruised and damaged as a
result of squeezing the blackheads to release the “Core” of sebum plugged usually clears up with in about a week, but if secondary infection sets in it may take a month or more.

How to Fight Your Acne.

Avoid:

• Greasy hair oils or cosmetics.
• Leaving makeup on overnight or leave it off completely.
• Applying creams to dirty skin so that bacteria are pushed into the pores.
• Eating any foods that seem to cause spots.

Try To:

• Wash affected areas several times a day with medicated soap and hot water.
• Wash hair often, wear it off the face and reasonably short.
• Keep combs, brushes and face flannels clean and grease free.
• Get as much sunshine as you possibly can.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT CURE & MEDICINE

SULPHUR: Is perhaps the remedy most often indicated in this affection, especially if chronic. The skin is rough and hard and the Acne is associated with comedones and constipation; great aggravation from water is the characteristic leading to sulphur in skin affections. The acne punctata is the variety corresponding most nearly to sulphur iodide.

SANGOINARIA: Is another useful remedy in Acne, especially in women with scanty menses and irregular circulation of blood. Other remedies for acne dependent on sexual disturbance of women are Calcarea Carbonica and Aurum Muriatium Natrum.

KALI BROMATUM: Produces acne on the face, neck and shoulders. We frequently find acne in epileptics who have been maltreated by bromides. The remedy is especially adapted to the acne simplex and the acne indurate, especially in hyperacsthetic hervous females, and the late Dr. Martin discharge loudly praised. Since Kali Bromatum has been found a useful remedy in sexual excesses it will be specially a remedy in acne due to that cause. Dr. J.H.Clark sys “I know of on remedy of such universal usefulness in cases of simple acne as Kali Bromatum 30 x And the late Dr.A.M.Cushing recommended Arsenicum Bromatum 4x as very efficacious Thuja is one of our best remedies for acne facial is. Calcarea Picrata is also a useful remedy for Acne; clinically it has been found one of the food remedies. Calcarea Sulphurica is indicated where the pimples suppurate.

ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM: Small red pimples on face, acne in drunkards with gastric derangements, thirst-coated tongue, Antimonium Tairtaricum obstinate cases, with tendency to postulation, are curable with this remedy. Berberis Aquifolium is useful where the skin rough and the acne persistent.

Natrum Muriaticum: Acts especially on the sebaceous glands and is a very helpful remedy in acne. In this affection attention must be directed especially to the patient’s type, temperament and tendencies and the general symptoms are for more important than the local ones.

Acne and Homeopathy

Acne is very common in adolescents. The eruptions are generally present on the face, neck, upper chest and upper back and are caused by inflammation of the small sebaceous glands which open into hair follicles. The glands become blocked and acne develops.

Homeopathy always treats successfully this problem if the homeopathy philosophy is followed strictly.

Below is a list of some possible homeopathic remedies which should be taken as per individual symptoms

Berberis vulgaris - Skin is very rough and is persistent with acne. Pale and earthy complexion.

Kali bromatum - Bluish-red pustules on the face, neck and shoulders, which leave unsightly scars.

Ledum palustre - Red, pimply eruptions occur on the forehead and cheeks, the area stings when touched. The person is generally sensitive to the cold.

Sulpher - This remedy suits chronic acne with rough, hard skin. The spots are itchy, red, sore and frequently become infected. Spots and surrounding skin is aggravated by washing and bathing.
