[www.keralites.net] How To Handle Hiccups

 

 How to handle hiccups
Why they happen and how to make them stop

Hiccups are annoying, and there are plenty of 
old wives' tales about how to get rid of them.
But when you've been stuck with them for twenty minutes, you'd rather know 
what remedies really work – and how to keep the hiccups at bay next time.
Where do they come from?
Hiccups start when your diaphragm suddenly contracts, 
followed by the flap at the top of your windpipe - the glottis - 
closing, producing the 'hic' sound.
Mostly, they are caused by eating or drinking too much or too fast, 
eating spicy foods, alcohol, sudden excitement or temperature changes.
Some scientists think they harken back to our more amphibious ancestors, 
who had to draw water over their gills without it entering the lungs. 
This same mechanism lets babies suck milk without inhaling it.
For most people, though, hiccups serve no real purpose. 
But if you've wolfed down your dinner, or gasped in surprise,
don't be surprised if hiccups follow.
Any kind of emotional turmoil, be it excitement, anxiety or stress, 
has also been known to contribute to short-term hiccups. 
Men and women are equally likely to experience them.
Persistent hiccups
Most hiccups go away on their own. If hiccups last longer than 48 hours - 
which is rare - they're called persistent or protracted. If they're still there a month 
or more later, your hiccups are known as intractable.
These long-term types, while very rare, are more common in men and might be a sign of 
something more serious, such as an affliction of your diaphragm, larynx or eardrum. 
Long-term cases can also be brought on by nerve traumas like stroke, tumours or meningitis, 
by metabolic disorders or by addictions to alcohol and other drugs.
Eighty per cent of long-term cases have an identifiable cause, while the remaining 
twenty per cent are thought to be psychological in nature.
How to get rid of them In the case of your everyday hiccups, you should 
expect them to go away on their own within a few minutes.
While there is no guaranteed way to kick a case of hiccups, there are a few easy home remedies 
that ought to help. These cures range from holding your breath or breathing into a paper bag 
to sipping cold water or gargling with ice water.
You can close your ears while drinking an entire glass of water in one go through a straw. 
(If nothing else, onlookers might get a laugh out of this – but researchers have expressed confidence in it.)
If you're holding your breath and feel a hiccup coming on, swallow around it.
You can also try swallowing with your nose closed.
Eating dry bread or swallowing a teaspoon of sugar might also work.
And to get a little more invasive, try tickling the soft palate in the back of the roof of
your mouth with a cotton ball, or pulling hard on your tongue.
And next time, of course – remember to savour your food, rather than scoffing it!

[www.keralites.net] Natural Remedy For Depression In India

 

 NATURAL REMEDY FOR DEPRESSION[ IN INDIA]

The traditional medicine of India -Ayurveda advocates yoga, massage and meditation, which increase "prana"or the energy of life. A concoction of Ashwagandha and Brahmi powder steeped in water for 10 minutes and drunk twice or thrice a day is said to cure depression. Another natural remedy for depression, which is widely advocated, is drinking a "kasahayam" or tea made from the (Indian basil) tulsi and sage. Massaging the body and head with herbal oil and then having a hot water bath does wonders for the body and mind. These have been practiced from time immemorial in India and are very popular forms of treatment. In fact there are actually parlors which offer you this kind of massage.

Yoga exercises helps in the increase of circulation of oxygen in the system, helps the mind to relax, stretches the muscles and helps to restore the neurochemicals. Deep breathing exercises or "pranayama" help the body and mind to relax. By focusing on calm and peaceful things, the mind tends to counter the negative energy, which is present. Listening to music, playing your favorite songs, doing the things you like-- all help to nullify depression. Going out with friends, visiting, going to places you like - in short doing things that break away from the routine and mundane can help to alleviate depression. 

If it is possible try and discuss your problem with a friend or a good counselor. When things are verbally expressed, the intensity of negative force is drastically reduced and they may come up with certain ideas, which helps you to deal with depression. Writing down your actual thoughts and feelings also helps because by doing so, you are able to give vent to whatever is troubling you. This does relieve you to a great extent. Diversify your activities and work till you are tired. This gives the brain the necessary impetus to focus on anything but the problem causing depression.

Aromatherapy has gained popularity of late because of its ability to help the body to relax and revive the nervous system. Inhalation of some herbal oils like rose, jasmine, lime, and grapefruit is a natural remedy for depression. Acupuncture is said to be a great mood enhancer. Eight –10 weeks of acupuncture treatment culminates in mood elevation, which is very similar to the elevation got by the use of anti depressants. Last but not least, prayer is said to have the power to heal. Religious practices and religious beliefs could help the person to cope with depression. All these natural remedies for depression may be sufficient by themselves if depression is not very severe, but in severe cases it needs to be combined with medication.

[www.keralites.net] Padma Shri awardee Arvind Gupta IIT Kanpur to Toy maker

 


Padma Shri awardee - Arvind Gupta IIT Kanpur  to Toy maker

Arvind Gupta, a student of IIT Kanpur, has spent his life creating toys for children. He has been making toys from garbage for over four decades to inspire children to be curious about science. In an attempt to inspire children to conduct scientific experiments using waste, he also made a movie Tarang. This movie has been translated into 18 languages and has been viewed at 3,000 schools across the country.



Arvind, who comes from a humble background, had no books to read as a child. At times, the electricity or phone connection would be cut off due to non-payment of bills.

After completing his studies in IIT, Arvind joined TELCO (Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company) and worked on Tata Trucks for two years. But he didn't enjoy his job and took a break after two years. It was during this time that he discovered his true passion for making scientific toys from easily available materials.

"It is not learning unless it is fun. The emphasis should be on comprehension – understanding comes when children are able to relate their learning to life – to a wider social context. Then learning becomes magical. This also means that there should be unison between the head, heart, and the hands. Children must also work with their hands and learn a lot of skills. This will make learning fun. The emphasis on rote learning must go."

Arvind says he is planning to quit his job at the Children's Science Centre located at IUCAA in the Pune University Campus and is looking forward to translating some of the 25 books he has authored into Hindi.

[www.keralites.net] I THANK GOD FOR THE JOURNEY

 

 I THANK GOD FOR THE JOURNEY

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. 

As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.

Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.

Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.

It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. 

Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. 

I wish you a Very Healthy, Happy, Prosperous and Productive New Year; and look anticipatingly to continuing 
our Journey together.

With Warm Regards, 
M.D.HEGDE
