Home Remedies for Enlarged Prostate

 Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic enlargement happens when cells in the prostate abnormally divide and multiply, causing the organ to increase in size.
 Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a disorder that generally affects men 50 years of age and older. BPH is not the same as prostate cancer.
 The prostate is a small, muscular gland (in the shape of a walnut) in the male reproductive system. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and adds fluid to semen to allow sperm mobility.
With age, the cells of the gland begin to multiply, leading to an enlarged prostate. Although the exact cause is unknown, changes in male sex hormones with age may be a factor.
 It occurs when the prostate enlarges to twice or even three times its size, pressing against the urethra and resulting in restricted/ obstructed urine flow.
As a consequence of this obstructed flow, lower urinary tract symptoms manifest.
In Ayurevda, prostate enlargement is known as parush granthi shoth. This problem is mainly due to the imbalance of vata dosha. Imbalance of dosha occurs due to the consumption of spicy foods and other food products which can cause the aggravation of pitta dosha also.
Home Remedies for prostate enlargement are very effective to resolve this problem to a greater extent.

Common symptoms of BPH include:

needing to urinate more than eight times a day
being unable to delay urination
waking up frequently at night to urinate
straining to urinate or having difficulty starting urination
having a weak or intermittent urine stream
being unable to empty the bladder completely, which is called urinary retention

Cauliflower Benefits and Side Effects

Cauliflower, or phool gobhi, is one of the most nutritious vegetables that the Indian palate has loved since time immemorial. A number of our traditional and modern fusion dishes involve cauliflower, which can be turned into almost anything from fritters to pizza. The tiny white flowers of the cruciferous vegetable are used in curries, dry vegetable dishes, rice dishes and even finger foods and snacks. The ketogenic diet, which has become popular as a low-carb weight loss diet, also makes use of this humble vegetable and its versatility, due to the fact that it is low in carbohydrates and high in fibre and other micronutrients. A weight loss diet known as the Cauliflower Diet was also popularised by Radha Thomas in her 2016 book by the same name.
Cauliflower Diet is based on the idea that fattening carbohydrate-rich foods like potatoes, wheat and rice can be replaced with cauliflower. It is a nutritious vegetable that is low in simple carbohydrates and rich in a number of micro nutrients, including vitamin B, vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and minerals like manganese and potassium. The Cauliflower Diet includes dishes made from cauliflower, including cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza base, cauliflower cookies, etc. If you're on a ketogenic diet or any other low-carb diet, then cauliflower is a great vegetable to opt for. Let's look at some weight loss benefits of cauliflower that you may want to know about.
Keeps Digestive System Healthy
According to clinical nutritionist Dr. Rupali Dutta, cauliflower is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre, which is why it promotes healthy digestion. A smooth functioning of digestive system is crucial for healthy and swift weight loss.
Keeps The Body Hydrated
A 100-gm portion of raw cauliflower contains 92 gm of water (as per the USDA data)! This makes the vegetable incredibly hydrating, which is important for anyone on a weight loss diet.
 Boosts Immunity
A 100-gm portion of cauliflower delivers 48mg of vitamin C or ascorbic acid (as per the USDA data) to the body. Vitamin C is important for body immunity. A disease and illness free body is also crucial for a healthy weight loss journey.
High in Fiber
Cauliflower is quite high in fiber, which is beneficial for overall health.
There are 3 grams of fiber in one cup of cauliflower, which is 10% of your daily needs
Fiber is important because it feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut that help reduce inflammation and promote digestive health
Consuming enough fiber may help prevent digestive conditions like constipation, diverticulitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Moreover, studies show that a diet high in fiber-rich vegetables like cauliflower is linked with a lower risk of several illnesses, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes
Fiber may also play a role in obesity prevention, due to its ability to promote fullness and reduce overall calorie intake
Cauliflower Diet For Weight Loss
Cauliflower diet recommends using the vegetable to substitute high carb and starchy foods in a number of dishes. The diet may work because of a number of reasons. Here are some reasons why eating more cauliflower may help you lose weight:
 Low In Calories
According to data by the United States Department of Agriculture, a 100-gm portion of cauliflower contains just 25 calories! It is the perfect low-calorie alternative to unhealthy carbs, which may help you keep the number of calories consumed per day, under check.
Rich In Fibre
A 100-gm portion of cauliflower contains 2 gm of fibre, as per the USDA data. The fibre in the veggie promotes satiety and keeps you full for longer, eliminating the need for you to eat more often.

Homeopathic remedies for cuts, bruises and wounds

 

Cuts and bruises is a common occurrence in any household. In most cases, they’re ignored and left to heal on their own. However, some injuries can take a while to heal. If you think about it, you’ll also notice that when you’ve injured yourself somewhere, you tend to keep hitting that spot against things and make it worse. Homeopathy is a form of treatment that has negligible side effects and is very effective at speeding up the healing process for bruises and other wounds.

  In homeopathy we have many remedies that can help with alleviation of pain and rapid recovery from injuries, as well as prevention of complications. For example Symphytum, Ruta, Ledum or Hypericum can help with the healing of bone fractures; remedies such as Hypericum, Hepar-sulph or Silica are often used in the treatment of wounds which have become infected, while the healing of injuries to joints, ligaments and tendons can be greatly helped by remedies such as Ruta and Rhus-tox
Without doubt, the most widely known and used remedy in accidents and injuries is ARNICA MONTANA. This amazing remedy is prepared from a little plant found high in the mountains all over the world, from the Alps in Europe to the Andes in South America. Its healing properties have been known in folk medicine for many centuries and millennia, and its use in homeopathic form has helped to extend further its sphere of action.

 Pain, aching and soreness, due to mental and/or physical shock.
Physical trauma to soft tissues; for bruises and contusions accompanied by pain, bruising and swelling. These include: eyes, muscles, head – very useful in concussions of the brain. (For trauma to internal parts such as abdomen or breasts, Bellis perennis should be taken, if there is no improvement with Arnica.)
Sprains and strains caused by prolonged and unaccustomed exertion, such as a challenging session at the gym, or a long walk after a week of sedentary work in the office, or after an energetic session of house spring-cleaning.
Labour (=exertion) and trauma of delivery: Arnica 30, taken internally, one pill three times a day for 2-4 days will be of great benefit to the new mother.

Remedy Options
Primary Remedies

Bellis perennis

This remedy is useful for injuries to the trunk and deeper tissues—as from falls, car accidents, surgery, etc. —especially if a feeling of stiffness or coldness develops in the injured area.

Hypericum perforatum

This remedy relieves sharp pain that seems to follow the nerve's path.
Other Remedies

Aconitum napellus

This remedy can be helpful when a person feels extremely fearful or agitated after being injured. It may help to soothe anxiety and panic and reduce the chance of shock.

Arnica montana

This remedy relieves pain, bruising and swelling associated with trauma, surgery or overexertion.

Calcarea phosphorica

This remedy is useful for bone bruises, old or slow-healing fractures, or any injury that leads to soreness in the bones, especially if the area feels cold or numb and improves with warmth. The muscles near the injury may ache or stiffen.

Calendula Ointment

This remedy can be applied to disinfected cuts, chapping, burns and scrapes.

Ipecacuanha

This remedy can be helpful as first aid if heavy bleeding occurs after an injury, with a feeling of nausea and weakness. (Emergency care is crucial when serious bleeding occurs; pressure should be applied to a severely bleeding wound, and medical help should be found immediately.)

Ledum palustre

This relieves bruises from blunt objects, especially where the skin is thin (around the eyes, fingers and toes), as well as pain and bruising from pointed objects.

Millefolium
