Sore Throat is common during winters. The best thing to do is to gargle with warm salt water (1 teaspoon salt dissolved in one glass of water) at least a few times a day. It eases the scorching feeling in your throat. It works by improving the circulation around the throat area. It also cleans the pharynx, thus enabling your immune system to be more potent.
Gargling with an infusion made of henna leaves (mehandi leaves) also has been proven to heal a sore throat as it has antibacterial properties.
Without doubt, your feet are the most active part of your body, even more than your hands. Therefore it is very much essential that one must take extra care of their feet in order to avoid having foot problems.
The fundamentals of anti-aging
With increasing pressure on daily lives, more and more people in the world are showing signs of premature aging. The common symptoms of premature aging are excessive weight gain, depression, fatigue, insomnia and hair loss. I think that in India, we treat the symptoms without trying to identify the underlying causes. So, typically, we would see a victim of premature aging enrolling for a weight loss programme, taking sleeping pills or other symptomatic cures. And the real problem continues to grow because curing obesity and hair loss merely controls the symptoms.
Premature aging is a disease by itself and requires specific and specialized treatment. Anti-aging Medicine is a specialty and a field of scientific research, which is aimed at early detection, Prevention, Treatment and Reversal of age related decline in the quality of life. It is not merely anti-wrinkle or Geriatric Medicine but can be defined as wholesome approach to health, and of the general well being of the self.
One question which I am asked a lot of times is that what exactly is the anti-aging treatment? I believe that there are no ‘simple one-medicine-for-all’ solutions. Each case is different and requires customized treatments.
But if we speak in a broad sense, the anti-aging protocol identifies the stressor and modifies the perception and reaction to it through intensive counselling. Once the stressor – physiological or psychological – has been identified, the patient is put through either one, all or a combination of treatments that include Preventive Medicine, Diagnostics, Therapeutic Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Stem Cells Therapy, Neutrigenomics and Life Style Medicine.
This form of treatment is regarded by many in the West as the future of medicine. In the field of Anti-aging practice it is believed that our Hormones do not decline because we age, but we age because our hormones decline. Restoring the hormones to their optimal levels can help relieve a variety of conditions including Obesity, menopause, andropause, memory lapses, wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of focus, fatigue, decreased libido, depression, anxiety, low energy, loss of muscle tone and endurance, age spots, and other conditions commonly associated with aging. Hormone Replacement Therapy can not only alleviate the symptoms and problems associated with the above conditions, but can also help to enhance the immune system, increase sexual energy, improve skin tone & texture, increase energy levels, make you look and feel years younger, and extend life.
