[www.keralites.net] HOME REMEDY FOR KNEE ACHES AND PAINS

Home Remedies for Knee Aches and Pains

As we age we notice more bumps and pains than ever before. The most common complaints doctors and physical therapists hear about are knee pains. The knee is particularly vulnerable to pain and damage due to people's high wear and tear of the leg. The knee takes the full impact of a person's body weight, or any added force from running or jumping. There are plenty natural treatments and alternative therapies that can stop you from living at the doctor's reception room.
Assess your pain
altFor any moderate to severe pain, you should get medical help because some injuries require physical therapy, a brace or even surgery. Successful home treatments can be done for mild to moderate knee pain. This can be for both pains caused by sprains or arthritis. If you the pain is due to inflammation, arthritis or minor injury you can choose from several home remedies that are effective.
How to treat pain due to injury
If you have suffered a twisted leg, fallen or strained your knee in other ways a useful mnemonic to remember is 'RICE'.
Rest - Stay off your feet.
Ice - Apply a bag of ice or cold compress (a bag of peas also works).
Compression - Wrap a compression bandage around your knee. This prevents swelling. Make sure it's not too tight otherwise you might cut off circulation.
Elevation - Lie on a bed or keep your foot elevated with a footstool or ottoman.
How to treat pain due to arthritis
As people age, the lubrication and padding around their joints deteriorate. Without cartilage cushioning the joints, joints will suffer bone-on-bone contact and can become inflamed, causing much pain. This is known as Osteoarthritis. For more severe cases, doctors might suggest replacing joints or inserting artificial cartilage. While there is no way to reverse the damage there are ways to treat mild to moderate pain with natural dietary supplements or alternative therapies.
Try willow bark
You wouldn't think a piece of tree bark could offer so much relief, but research has found that willow bark's active ingredient is salicin, which acts similarly to aspirin. This natural painkiller has been commonly used since the time of Hippocrates. It is used to treat fever and inflammation as well as for headaches, muscle pains, spine disease, arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
Use ginger extract
altAnother pain relief option that grows naturally is ginger, which can be ingested in several different ways. You can use the fresh root, drink it as a tea, eat it as a dried spice or take prepackaged supplements. Research has discovered that the phytonutrients in ginger reduce the production of chemicals in the body that promote joint inflammation. Together with prescription arthritis medication ginger can greatly reduce joint pains since it acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. Take care if you take blood thinners as ginger has the risk of increasing bleeding.
Apply herbal ointment
A salve made from cinnamon, ginger, mastic, and sesame oil was found to be just as effective as over-the-counter medicine, in a study published in the Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences. Traditional over the counter ointments used to treat arthritis usually contain salicylate, which is used topically to relieve pain.
Heat and cold therapy
It's worthwhile investing in a heating pad, gel-style cold pack or cool compress for chronic pain. These can easily be found at a drug store, or ordered online. Heat is used to keep joints from stiffening while cold therapy can reduce pain and swelling.

Practice Tai Chi
This ancient Chinese practice is a mind-body exercise which helps improves balance and flexibility, works twofold for arthritis suffers. A study published in Arthritis and Rheumatism (a journal), highlights that the mental aspect of the practice promotes coping mechanisms for chronic pain, and the physical exercise helps reduce pain and increase range of motion.

Consider exercise and weight management
For some people, knee pain is reduced by having the joint moving, so daily exercise is recommended. Keeping a leg stationary can stiffen the joint, and reduce the range of motion. Consider swimming or water walking as these exercises have less of an impact and swimming has countless other health benefits. Carrying excess weight can also aggravate the impact on joints so it's important to try keep off any unnecessary weight. Here are some weight loss management tips.
Finding care: final note
Your health is important and sometimes dietary supplements and alternative therapies can conflict with any other medication you might be taking. It's important to talk with your doctor and find the cause of any pain. Sometimes this might involve X-rays and blood work but it's necessary to get to on the road to recovery.

[www.keralites.net] SIDE EFFECTS OF GINGER

Ginger: Side Effects And Who Should Never Use It?

Ginger has long been used as a powerful medicinal remedy, but there are certain situations where it can actually do more harm than good. Because ginger is so powerful, there are certain conditions that ginger can actually do harm. They are very specific, and if you ahve any of these conditions, it is recommended that you stay away from the ginger.
Bleeding Disorders
Because ginger promotes circulation, if you have a bleeding condition like hemophilia, ginger can actually make you bleed more if you were to get a cut. This also goes for anyone taking blood thinners.
Gallstones
Ginger naturally stimulates the gallbladder into producing more bile, so if you have gallstone ginger can make the condition worse. If you have had, or currently have gallstones, you should avoid ginger.
Ulcers
Eating fresh ginger can lead to worsening symptoms of an ulcer or intestinal blockage because gingers stimulates digestion.
Pregnant Women
You should consult with a physician before taking any supplements while pregnant, but ginger is one that you should avoid. Because of the stimulation of circulation that ginger provides, it can make it harder for your body to absorb nutrients, and can cause uterine contractions.
High Blood Pressure
Ginger naturally lowers blood pressure, so if it taken in conjunction with other blood pressure medications, it can cause a crash in blood pressure.
Diabetes
Again, ginger is dangerous to take with other drugs that are already balancing blood sugars, because it naturally lowers blood sugar by itself.
Before Surgery
This is again, because of the increased blood flow, which can lead to increased bleeding during a surgery.
In Combination with Certain Herbs
Ginger's effects can be magnified by other herbs that ado the same things that ginger does like preventing blood clots, or increasing circulation. Garlic, ginkgo, turmeric, and ginseng all improve circulation and can increase your risks of bleeding if combined with ginger.
Ginger in and of itself is one of the healthiest substances you can put in your body, but you need to be careful what you mix it with. Ginger almost works too well by itself as it is! As you can see most of these side-effects are based on other chemicals that you are putting in to your body, and not just the ginger.

[www.keralites.net] AURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR HERNIATED DISK

What Is The Ayurvedic Treatment For Herniated Disk In The Lower Back?

Herniated disk what we commonly call 'slipped disk'. It can be a very painful and debilitating condition.

How does Ayurveda help treat herniated disc naturally and safely?

In Ayurveda, herniated disk is a condition that happens due to an imbalance of Vata element. This throws your body out of equilibrium. Ayurvedic treatment is a good way to restore the basic functional strength of your body.

In some people, symptoms like severe back pain, leg pain, or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are traced to a herniated disc. When the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed outside its normal position, you have a herniated disc. This can occur as a result of rupture or bulging due to injury, disease, or deterioration. The spinal disc when pushed out irritates the spinal nerves that lay very close to the edge of these spinal discs causing severe pain.

Herniated disc can occur to anyone. It is, however, seen more commonly in people between the ages of 35 to 45 who perform heavy manual labour or drive motor vehicles for long periods of time. There are a plethora of effective Ayurvedic treatments for herniated disks that help restore the equilibrium that is caused by Vata imbalance and provide you relief from lower back pain.

How Ayurvedic therapies help in treating herniated disk?

The ayurvedic healing therapies are beneficial in many ways:

-They help in strengthening the supportive tissues that hold your spine.

-They help release the muscular spasm and nerve compression.

-They nourish the joints by enhancing circulation and relieve pain.

Here are the Ayurvedic therapies you can employ to treat herniated disk:

Kativasti

The term 'Kativasti' is made up of two parts – 'Kati' meaning the waist area of your body and 'Vasti' meaning a pouch like arrangement. In Kativasti treatment, medicated oils are used on your back to treat the herniated disk condition.

Procedure:

The patient is made to lie down on his/her stomach on a bed. Medicated oil is spread over the lumbo-sacral area. After this, a reservoir or a ring is made on this lumbo-sacral region with dough made out of black gram powder. It is made sure that the ring is free from any leakage.

Medicated lukewarm oil is slowly poured into this ring. The temperature of the oil is preserved by reheating and continuously adding more oil. This is done for 30 to 40 minutes.

Later, the affected area is massaged lightly. It is followed by steaming for another 15 minutes which allows better absorption of medicated oil in your body. This process is carried over five to seven days as prescribed by the ayurvedic doctor.

How safe is Kativasti?

Kativasti is pretty safe for you. There are no side effects. This treatment is even safe for heart patients as only gentle massage is given. The only precaution to be taken is to keep the temperature of the medicated oil lukewarm to avoid blistering or scalding of skin.

Abhyanga

Abhyanga is a process where a person is given massage in slow and rhythmic movements throughout the body from head to toe. Warm medicated oils are used by one or two massage therapists for 40 to 60 minutes. The Abhyanga massage is performed in seven postures in by varying pressure at different points in the body.

What are the benefits of Abhyanga?

-It harmonizes the imbalance in the body due to Vata.

-It provides nourishment and vitality to the bones, tissues, ligaments, helps reduce pain and enhances your healing capacity.

-It keeps you full of vitality, removes fatigue and relaxes your body and mind.

Kizhi

This therapy rejuvenates your body, improves blood circulation throughout the body, removes muscular fatigue, alleviates mental stress and effectively helps treat herniated disk condition as well as other joint ailments or injuries.

Dhanyamla Dhara

'Dhanyamla' means body and 'Dhara' means continuous flow of liquid. This therapy involves pouring of herbal medicated oils throughout different parts of your body. This is done by pouring warm oil from a vessel hung overhead over the affected areas of your body in a rhythm.

It is given for 45 to 60 minutes and lasts for 7 to 12 days depending upon your doctor's assessment.

This therapy helps relieve body ache and muscular spasms by boosting blood circulation. It revitalizes your body and enhances immune system immensely. It is an effective method of treating herniated disk.
