Some people become fat because they eat too much. That is due to the genetic behavior of the body. Sometimes their parents may also be fat. Likewise a guy who eats too much may not always become fat. Well, guys always want to become stronger and stronger. They love to build their muscles and show off with others. For this purpose they go to gym and do some hard work.

He is also a big health conscious guy. At the time when his puberty just started he was very lean and was only about 4 feet long. But what he did was he searched for information related to how to adjust his body during the time of puberty over the internet. Yes, he said me that he was successful in finding good articles that helped him realize what all he should do in order to maintain a good strong body. So what he did was he worked very hard for the first two years of his puberty. And do you know what the result was? During the third year we could see tremendous change in his body shape and also his body structure. Now he is much powerful and stronger than ever.

HIGH FEVER

A fever occurs when the body temperature rises above the normal average of 98.6 degrees. Fever is the bodies’ natural defense mechanism when fighting off infections. Illnesses such as colds and flu are caused by viral infections and the resulting fever is simply a sign that the immune system is working properly. Symptoms of fevers can include chills, aching muscles, red cheeks, shaking and feeling either very hot or very cold. Generally, the body will shiver when a fever is rising, and sweat when the fever is ‘breaking.’
Treatment to bring a fever down is required when temperature goes above 104 degrees. Common over the counter treatments to reduce fevers include aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. A fever that is too high can cause damage to the central nervous system, making it very important to treat high fevers in young children who are still developing. People living in rural areas cannot afford to treatment in urban areas. In rural people, home remedies or herbal remedies are the only ways of treatment.
Herbal remedies:
Bhoonimba (Andrographis Paniculata) is a herbal remedy that works for viral fevers like Typhoid, Malaria and Dengue. Extract a ½ cup of juice from the leaves of Bhoonimba. Boil it to warm and add a pinch of pepper. Take this juice twice a day, 1 hour after having food, for a week. In South Africa, people use an herb named Cancer Bush instead of this herb.
During the rainy season, when malaria and dengue fever are widely prevalent, tender leaves of Holy Basil (Tulsi), boiled with tea, act as preventive against these diseases. In case of acute fevers, a decoction of the leaves boiled with powdered cardamom in half a liter of water and mixed with sugar and milk brings down the temperature. The juice of Tulsi leaves can be used to bring down fever. Extract of Tulsi leaves in fresh water should be given every 2 to 3 hours. In between one can keep giving sips of cold water. In children, it is every effective in bringing down the temperature.
In fevers Guduchi (Tynospora Cordifolia) is used in a great variety of forms. Thus a cold infusion of Guduchi is given with honey bilious fever. A decoction1 of Guduchi or its fresh juice is given with the addition of long pepper and honey in chronic fever with cough.

JAUNDICE


Jaundice or Icterus, is yellowing of the white portion of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes that is caused by excessive amounts of bile pigments in blood tissues. These pigments, normally present in the blood because of the breakdown of hemoglobin, are filtered through the liver and excreted in faces. The excessive accumulation of bile pigments is usually due to liver disease or hepatitis, in which case, the yellowing is referred to as Koshtaasrita kaamalaa in Ayurveda.
Saakhaasrita kaamalaa (surgical jaundice) on the other hand, refers to yellowing caused by an obstruction. Anything from gallstones to a cancerous growth can cause the blockage and surgery is often required to remove it.
There are various types of hepatitis such as haemolytic jaundice, in which there is an increased production of bile pigment because of damage to red blood cells. Antibodies created by a mismatched blood transfusion can cause damage.
Newborns can also have jaundice because of a condition known as hyperbilirubinemia. In these cases, there is a temporary defect in synthesis of the enzyme that breaks down bile to an excretal form.
Symptoms
Symptoms of hepatitis vary depending on the specific cause of illness (virus, bacteria, toxin, etc) and flu-like sysmptoms, which may include-fever, a generally tired or ill feeling, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and muscle aches. There may be itching all over the body.
With significant liver inflammation, liver chemicals may build up in the blood and urine, causing the following symptoms; jaundice ( a yellow tint to the skin and whites of the eyes), bad breath, a bitter taste in the mouth, dark teeth, coloured urine, and light clay colured stools. There is also pain or tenderness around the liver.
Care should be taken before proceeding for home remedies. Avoid eating junk, spicy and salty foods, pastries and cool drinks. Drink sufficient water. Take fresh fruits and vegetables. Spend more time on the bed.
Home remedies:
A Jaundice Patient can choose any one of the following methods for cure.



  •             Mix one Tea spoonful of Phyllanthus Niruri (Bhoomyaamlaki) leaf / root paste with honey.  Take it daily thrice until cure.
  




Boerhavia Diffusa (Punarnava) helps tone the urinary system and promotes health of the urinary tract. It helps maintain efficient kidney function, with its diuretic action. The herb supports the body's natural ability to remove fluids. So take Punarnava Mandoor tablet daily once for 2 to 3 weeks.



Navayaas Lauha taken is dose of 125 mg thrice daily is an effective remedy for Jaundice.

NEEM – ONE OF THE MIRACLE TREES IN NATURE



Introduction:
Neem tree (Azadirachta Indica) is properly known as Margosa (in Sanskrit) and vernacularly as Miracle tree. This Tree is normally found everywhere in India, for the purification of air. Billions of trees exist all over India. If the seeds fallen on the ground are collected, and oil is extracted at village level workers, thousands of tons of oil will be available for Lighting the Lamps in rural area. It is the best oil for lighting. Since these are spread over a large area, collection of seeds for Biodiesel manufacture is not viable.
Home remedies with Neem :
Fresh Paste Made from Neem leaves works best for Skin diseases like Leucoderma (white patches on skin) , ringworm, dermatitis, skin itching, rashes and other problems, if applied externally to the body. In metropolitan cities, it is difficult to get fresh Neem leaves. In such cases Neem oil and Neem capsules available in the market are the only alternatives instead of Neem paste.  Neem paste applied with toothbrush to the teeth daily in the morning fights against all kinds of dental problems and works much better than common toothpaste.
Diabetes
Scientific studies show Neem leaf and certain extracts of the leaf and seed oil is effective in reducing insulin requirements.  Based on the many studies of Neem’s effect on diabetes, the Indian government approved neem-based tablets for sale by a pharmaceutical company as a treatment for diabetes.  To prepare a remedy for diabetes take 10 leaves of Basil, 10 Neem leaves and 10 belpatra leaves. Now have all these leaves with a glass of water as a first thing in the morning.
Agricultural uses:
It is in agriculture where most of the research for exploring the benefits of Neem for crop production has been done. Neem oil, Neem cake, leaves and other parts of Neem tree are being used quite extensively in the agriculture sector in different parts of world. Being an insecticide, its main uses include as soil amendment, fertilizer efficiency enhancer, very effective foliar pesticide and also in food storage.

DIABETES

Ancient scholars of Ayurveda knew Diabetes Mellitus some 3,000 years ago. The association of frequent urination with a sweet tasting substance in the urine was first reported in Charaka Samhita, the ancient Ayurvedic classic.
Allopathic drugs like insulin, sulphonylureas, biguanides have definitely helped in controlling the blood sugar levels and improving the quality of life but none of them has been unequivocally successful in maintaining normal glucose levels and avoiding later stage complications of diabetes. About 15 to 20 percent of patients with newly diagnosed non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus have little or no response to sulphonylureas and with each year of treatment, about 3-5 per cent of the patients, who have achieved better acceptable glycogenic control, lose their responsiveness. Biguanides therapy is associated with lactic blood disorders, water retention, and several others.
In spite of all the advances in therapeutics, diabetes still remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. As per the available data, there are at least 20 million diabetics in India.
There are foods and herbs, with a have a specific role in the treatment of diabetes.
1.       Bitter gourd (karela): This has a long history as food and medicine. The fruit and seeds of this plant contain most active blood sugar-lowering components. This as it closely an active principle called charantin, which is sometimes called plant insulin, as it closely resembles insulin from cows (Bovine insulin). For better therapeutic benefits, extract juice from four to five karelas every morning and take of a decoction. You can even prepare a curry. However, remember not fry in oil or add sugar to this vegetable to counteract bitter taste; otherwise, the therapeutic benefits may be lost.
2.       Honey: Since honey consists of velulose, it is not harmful in diabetes. Honey has antibacterial and antimicrobial activity due to enzymatic ally-liberated hydrogen peroxide. Some diabetics feel that they only need to stop taking sugar and honey to control diabetes. However, it is best for patients to know the daily ratio of sugar or honey. This ratio should not be taken at one time, but should be reasonably distributed throughout the day. One teaspoonful of honey provides 20 Kcal of energy; you are allowed to take one teaspoonful of honey per day. After a mixed meal, the stomach empties slowly. Therefore, honey eaten a meal, will not raise blood sugar as much as when taken on an empty stomach.
3.       Garlic : The Indian journal of Experimental Biology, few years ago published the anti-diabetic  effects of S-Ally Cysteine Sulphoxide (allicin) isolated from garlic. Garlic has been used as a traditional dietary supplement for diabetes in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Preliminary studies in rabbits, rats and limited numbers of people have demonstrated that garlic has some ability to lower blood sugars. More research in this area is needed. (See Notes regarding some concern about using garlic with certain diabetes medications.). Eat 2 – 4 cloves of raw garlic everyday and you can keep the risks at bay. If it is too strong for you to take, there are garlic pills with or without odour.
4.       Custard applie leaves: A recent study reveals that 2-5 newly emerged leaves with 75mg of long pepper if taken for 3-6 weeks, lowers blood sugar levels effectively.
5.       Neem leaves: Neem is an age old remedy and does not require a trip to stores. It is easily available anywhere. Leaves made into juice or paste can be taken internally to lower blood sugar.
6.       Cabbage: A recent study reveals the anti-diabetic effects of cabbage in streptozolo diabetes in rats. The fascinating point is that this is as effective as insulin. As anafternoon snack, eat a cup of cooked cabbage. It is low calorie, anti-cancer, fibre filled food that lowers your excess sugar naturally
7.       Turmeric: Ayurveda recommends turmeric as an exclusive remedy for diabetes. It is more effective if taken with an equal amount of amla powder. The Indian journal Pharmacology concludes in a study that the fine powder of turmeric has blood sugar lowering effects.

INSOMNIA (LACK OF SLEEP)

Researchers have identified insomnia (lack of sleep) as a cause of serious disorders ranging from diabetes to high stress levels. The results show that is taking a huge toll on the quality of life and the health of sufferers.
One of the reasons that insomnia is on the rise of the high stress levels and time pressures associated with modern living. The people would gladly get more sleep if they could, but the information age, which was supposed to make everything more efficient, has just made everything busier. Many people complain of insomnia, with stress during the day making them too tense or worried to be able to fall asleep at night. Lack of sleep, in turn, creates more stress on the job and at home. However, it  is important to know at the outset that not all people require the same amount of sleep. Sleeping cycles very among people and throughout a person’s life. Moreover, while one person may only require four hours of sleep, others may need ten hours.
SELF-HELP GUIDELINES
Fortunately, lifestyle changes and herbal medicines can help treat the problem. You can try these time-tested remedies:
·         Do some exercise everyday – but never late in the evening
·         Avoid caffeine in all forms, especially after lunch.
·         Avoid long naps during the day
·         Don’t choose alcohol as a remedy for sleeplessness. Even though alcohol is a sedative, it 
           can disturb the sleep. Remember that sleep is different from sedation.
·         Drink buffalo milk. It contains rich amounts of an amino acid, L-tryptophan, which induces 
           sleep.
·         Eat sweets before going to bed-time. Charaka Samhita says that bath is the best remedial
           measure to counteract exertion.
·         Read a book or do some repetitive, calm activity such as chanting a mantra.
·         Avoid distractions that may hold your attention and keep you awake, such as watching a
           suspense movie or a thrilling game.
·         Make your bedroom as comfortable as possible. Create a quiet, dark atmosphere. Use  
           clean, fresh sheets and pillow and keep the room temperature comfortable. Neither too
           warm nor too cold.
·         Half a tablespoonful of fried cumin seed powder (safed-jeera) stuffed in banana cut
           length-wise is to be taken in the evenings. Alternately, inhalation on poppy seeds
         (gasagasaalu/afim) heated and wrapped in a cloth bag works excellently. You can even
          take glassful of milk with a pinch of nutmeg powder at bedtime.

Growth Medium.

Afsluttende Projekt for Væksthusgartnerelev Bihrmann. Vilvorde/RTS 2009

Since I did not have access to the original gravel mixture from Namib Desert at

the start and also not sure it's optimal, I have chosen to try different media, based

on the airy structure traditionally used for this plant.

In nature, the capillarity structure less important, as much fluid intake comes from

morning dew, and the plant does not absorb much if any liquid from the ground.

Even when it rains, there will not be in a volume that can saturate the soil

thoroughly.

Although I shall attempt in fog chamber, I waters. Both because it seems to be

important for small plants in the wild, it should promote growth, and it is a way to

add nutrition. That means the available quantity of water is essential, but the

medium water-holding pores hardly need to be top of the normal 20-30% of pore

volume, since it can suffocate the roots of a desert plant.

As to be taken into account nutrient will be the addition of 2% clay in all media,

whose negative-charged colloids bind the positively charged nutrient ions. This is

these drugs available to the plant and leaching avoided.

Since culture is running for a long time, and a translocation is unnecessary

because of the plant's slow growth, it is important to the growth medium is the

structure stable.

Pore Volume.

When I at the start had no information about the natural habitats pore volume, I

have chosen medias, which I suspect is within the framework of the realistic.

Subsequent analysis of the Namibian soil has shown that (not surprisingly) there

are significantly fewer large pores in the wild. As the small plants I am dealing with

the culture seemed to prefer more humid conditions than those exposed to the

wild, it means they usefully can be grown in a more 'loose' media than they

originally found in. In order to avoid rot and provide good ventilation from the roots,

the medium might be well ventilated. Experiments conducted in Namib desert

(Annex 7) showed pores volume fluctuated between 0% -11% large, 17% - 33%

medium, but we must
