Introduction

Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory tract infection that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing that makes it difficult for the person to breathe. Whooping cough is also called pertussis. The causative agent causing whooping cough is a type of bacteria known as Bordetella pertussis. Whooping cough infection can affect a person at any age but it proves to be fatal for infants and young ones.

“पूर्वरूपं भवेत्तेषां शूकपूर्णगलास्यता |

कण्ठे कण्डूश्च भोज्यानामवरोधश्च जायते ||”

In ayurveda cough relates to kasa in Ayurveda. Our Acharyas gave a detailed description of premonitory sign and symptom of kasa:

Sensation in throat and mouth as if it filled with shooka (thorn)
Itching in the throat
Difficulty in swallowing food

Ayurveda description for cough (kasa) is the vitiation of vata dosha. Udana vayu, a type of vata, gets obstructed in the chest and head region by the increased kapha. As vata inside the body has tendency to flow but here in kasa the micro channels (srotas) are blocked in the upper region of the body giving the symptom of dry or phlegm cough.

Causes of Whooping Cough

Whooping cough is caused by the microorganism Bordetella pertussis. The bacteria gets attached to the cilia (hair-like structures) in the upper respiratory tract, releases toxins that destroys the cilia and causes airways to swell. The spread of the disease from one person to another is through contaminated air with cough or sneeze of a person suffering from whooping cough.

Sign and Symptoms of Whooping Cough

The incubation period of whooping cough is about 6 to 10 days but the person remains asymptomatic for as long as three weeks. The classic “Whoop sound” is common in children while taking a breath after coughing.

Runny nose
Dry persistent cough
Fever
Vomiting
Dehydration
Difficulty in breathing
Blue Discolouration around the mouth
Sneezing

Naturally Managing Whooping Cough with the Help of Ayurveda

“दीपनं बृंहणं चैव स्रोतसां च विशोधनम् |

व्यत्यासात्क्षयकासिभ्यो बल्यं सर्वं हितं भवेत् ||

सन्निपातभवोऽप्येष क्षयकासः सुदारुणः |

सन्निपातहितं तस्मात् सदा कार्यं भिषग्जितम् ||”

Whooping cough is a condition similar to “kshyaja kaasa” in our Ancient text. The line of management of khsyaja kasa includes Dipana (enhancing digestive power), Brihana (nourishing therapy), Sroto shodhan (removing toxins from the microchannels).

How to Control Diabetes with Natural Remedies?

Introduction

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder and a chronic health condition in which the body’s sugar metabolism is disturbed. Diabetes occurs when body cells are not able to take up the glucose to utilize as an energy source resulting in a high level of glucose in the bloodstream. The food we eat breaks down in the digestion process into complex to simple sugars (glucose). This glucose is taken up by the cells to use as energy. The uptake of glucose into the cells is aided by the hormone secreted by the pancreas called insulin. Insulin acts as a key to unlock the cells.

There are two conditions for diabetes to occur:-

Pancreas are not making enough insulin
Pancreas makes enough insulin but the body’s insulin uptake is hampered (insulin resistance)

Types and Causes of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 or insulin dependent diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s own cells attack insulin producing cells in pancreas. It usually occurs in children and young adults. Heredity may play a role in this.

Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 or non insulin dependent diabetes is a purely metabolic disorder.in which either the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body cells do not respond to the insulin (resistance) resulting in the high sugar in the bloodstream. It usually occurs in middle aged and older people.

“आस्यासुखं स्वप्नसुखं दधीनि ग्राम्यौदकानूपरसाः पयांसि|

नवान्नपानं गुडवैकृतं च प्रमेहहेतुः कफकृच्च सर्वम्||”

In ayurveda diabetes is known to be “prameha or madhumeha”. Acharya Charaka above has explained so well that a person can have prameha if he is overly indulge in the sedentary lifestyle habits that are excess sleep, prolonged sitting (lack of physical exercise), eating curd or meat or milk and its products or freshly harvested grains or jaggery and all the things that aggravates Kapha dosha in the body.

Sign and Symptoms

“स्वेदोऽङ्गगन्धः शिथिलाङ्गता च शय्यासनस्वप्नसुखे रतिश्च|

हृन्नेत्रजिह्वाश्रवणोपदेहो घनाङ्गता केशनखातिवृद्धिः||

शीतप्रियत्वं गलतालुशोषो माधुर्यमास्ये करपाददाहः|

भविष्यतो मेहगदस्य रूपं मूत्रेऽभिधावन्ति पिपीलिकाश्च||”

Weakness or fatigue ( शिथिलाङ्गता )
Numbness or tingling sensation in the hands and feet ( करपाददाहः)
Dry mouth (गलतालुशोषो)
Increased thirst (तृष्णा)
frequent urination and sensation while urinating (मूत्रेऽभिधावन्ति पिपीलिकाश्च)
Blurred vision (नेत्र उपदेहो)
Frequent urinary infections
Weight loss

Why is Diabetes One of the Major Causes of Blurry Vision and Blindness?

As in diabetes there is excess of sugar into the bloodstream that can lead to damage to the blood vessels and nerves throughout the body including the eyes. That is the main reason for blurry vision, floaters, faded colors, sensitivity to light and blindness. These are collectively known as diabetic retinopathy.

Blurry vision means it becomes difficult to see fine detailings. Sometimes very low glucose can also lead to blurry vision. The high blood sugar leads to changes in the retinal blood vessels. Either there is leakage of blood vessels or the abnormal new growth of the new blood vessels. Leaking of the retinal blood vessels into the lens of the eye makes the lens swell up and changes its shape leading to blurred or distorted vision. Blurry vision can be stopped with the proper treatment at the early stages of the diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic Retinopathy has Four Stages are as follows:

Stage 1: Mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy
Stage 2: Moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy
Stage 3: Severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy
Stage 4: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness. In advanced stages or proliferative diabetic retinopathy damaged blood vessels cut off and the blood vessels formed are fragile, easily ruptures and leaks and fill the center of the eye. Gradually the scar tissues are formed from the growth of new blood vessels leading to detach of the retina from the back of the eye. Detachment of retina and fluid buildup in the eye damages the major nerve in the eye which is responsible for the vision that is the optic nerve resulting in glaucoma and complete vision loss (blindness).

Risk Factors

Prolonged diabetes and poor control over it
High blood pressure
Altered lipid profile
Use of tobacco, smoking or alcohol

Management of Diabetes

“स्थूलः प्रमेही बलवानिहैकः कृशस्तथैकः परिदुर्बलश्च|

सम्बृंहणं तत्र कृशस्य कार्यं संशोधनं दोषबलाधिकस्य||”

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COLLEGEN POWDER

WHAT IS COLLAGEN?

Collagen is a very important protein for body composition. Collagen is the first thing that comes to mind when the skin is aging. Protein plays a very important role in maintaining the beauty and youth of your skin. It is the most abundant protein found in the human body which is found in muscles, bones, skin and tendons.

It holds the body together perfectly. Only by this the body structure remains in a correct shape. Collagen in the middle layer of the skin forms a fibrous network of cells called fibroblasts, on which new cells are formed. It also plays a role in replacing and restoring dead skin cells. As we age, less collagen is produced in the body. The structural integrity of the skin is reduced. Due to which wrinkles are formed, the cartilage of the joints becomes weak.

Collagen is a hard, insoluble and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the proteins in the human body. Collagen is mainly composed of proline, the amino acid glycine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids form three strands that form the characteristic triple-helix structure of collagen. Collagen breaks down as we age, fibroblast function is impaired and collagen production slows down.

BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN
Collagen offers many health benefits. Let’s know the benefits of collagen

Improve skin health

As you age, your body produces less collagen, which leads to dry skin and the formation of wrinkles. Studies have shown that supplements containing collagen peptides or collagen combats wrinkles and dryness and can help slow the aging of your skin.

Prevent bone loss

Bones are mostly made of collagen, which gives them structure and strength. With age, the collagen in the body decreases, so the bone mass also decreases. Collagen supplements can help prevent the breakdown of bones and help your body build new bone.

Joint pain relief

Collagen helps maintain the integrity of cartilage. The amount of collagen in the body decreases with age, increasing the risk of degenerative joint disorders such as osteoarthritis.

Thick hair

Many women also experience hair loss or thinning as they age. A study of a group of thin-haired women who were given daily collagen supplements showed increased hair volume, scalp coverage, and thickness.

Promote heart health

Collagen reduces the risk of heart conditions. Collagen provides structure to arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Gut health

Although no scientific evidence supports this claim, some health practitioners claim that collagen supplements can treat leaky gut syndrome, also known as increased intestinal permeability.

BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN POWDER
Studies done on people revealed that they found many benefits after consuming collagen powder, including the benefits of collagen powder.

Joint pain and voice
after consuming collagen powder, people found that there was a reduction in the sound of loud crunching from the knee every time they walked up the stairs. Knee pain also reduced.
Skin improvement
during winter’s dry skin spots appear on the face even after moisturizing. But with collagen powder they are greatly reduced and the skin feel supple.
Healthy nails
some people’s nails break more easily than others, and don’t grow as fast. In one study, a group of women who consumed collagen powder daily for just four weeks experienced faster nail growth and fewer cracked or chipped nails.
Increase in muscle mass

Collagen peptide supplements could potentially help increase muscle mass and strength.

WAYS TO INCREASE COLLAGEN
to support your body’s collagen production, you should follow the steps mentioned below. These collagen boosting measures will help you.

Foods rich in vitamin c

Vitamin C is important for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to help speed up recovery time and relieve painful joints. Eating foods rich in vitamin C and amino acids can increase the levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the body.

Algae

Most skin damage is caused by “oxidation.” Algae is able to increase your skin’s elasticity and collagen. Algae is available in most health food stores as an oral supplement.

ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera gel has long been used for healing and drying wounds. Aloe vera increases the production of collagen. Taking an aloe Vera oral supplement will improve the quality of the skin.

Coriander

Sitaphal, also known as coriander leaves, is a herb commonly called for in cuisines. It contains vitamin C, which has been linked to increased collagen production.

Ginseng

Ginseng is absorbed into the skin without the adverse reactions caused by many chemical drugs and helps the skin retain its original shape. It also works to promote the growth of collagen.

FOODS THAT HELP YOUR BODY PRODUCE COLLAGEN

Chicken

If you’ve ever cut up a whole chicken, you’ve probably noticed how much connective tissue is in poultry. These tissues make chicken a rich source of dietary collagen.

Citrus fruits

Vitamin C plays a major role in the production of collagen. That’s why it’s important to get enough vitamin C.

Egg whites

Egg whites contain a large amount of proline, which is one of the essential amino acids for collagen production.

Tropical fruits

Fruits rich in vitamin C include mango, kiwi, pineapple and guava. Guava also contains small amounts of zinc, which is a co-factor for collagen production.

Cashew

Cashews also come in the best collagen supplements. Cashews contain zinc and copper, both of which enhance the body’s ability to make collagen.

Legumes

Beans contain protein that often contains essential amino acids for collagen synthesis.

Ways to Reduce Collagen in Body

Three main things reduce collagen levels as we age: sunlight, smoking, and sugar.
Its filaments open due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. This can lead to sun damage, such as wrinkles.
The chemicals in cigarette smoke can damage it, which can lead to wrinkles in the skin.
Sugar causes the fibers to bond and tangle. It makes the skin less elastic.

Soy: It consists of all types of amino acids. It is a very good alternative for whey or casein protein.
Pea: Pea protein is a good source of arginine amino acid. It is present in near about all the plant based protein powders. It is a very good alternative for dairy based proteins.
Hemp: Hemp seeds are rich in both proteins and essential fatty acids. It is thus an excellent choice for those people which are having dairy products or soya protein allergies.

OTHER NAMES OF WHEY PROTEIN

Whey protein is known by other names also:

Whey concentrate
Whey isolate
Whey hydrolysate
Hydrolysed whey

WHAT ARE THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF WHEY PROTEIN?

Whey protein consumption leads to improper functioning of kidney leading to formation of kidney stones as it increases the urea levels in blood.
It leads to depletion of good bacteria in the alimentary canal and increase of bad bacteria in it leading to stomach pain, bloating and constipation.
If the lifestyle is sedentary, then the liver due to improper processing of nutrients and proteins, can result in liver damage.
Over consumption of whey protein leads to heart problems such irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest and heart failure.
Whey protein decreases the pH level of blood which normal ranges between 7.35 to 7.45. This leads to increasing our acidic level of blood.
Excessive weight gain as whey protein contains extra carbohydrates in the form of sugars.
There is presence of lactose in whey protein. If a person is sensitive to it, it can lead to digestive problems like abdominal pain, gas and bloating.
The consumption of whey protein can lead to mineral imbalance in the body. It leads to decrease in bone density.
Excessive intake of whey protein leads to increase in protein content and deficiency of other essential nutrients.

OVERVIEW

Pancreas is a disease which is characterized by the inflammation of pancreas. Pancreas is a large, leaf-like gland which is present behind the stomach in upper abdomen. It is a composite gland which means it acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine glands. It secretes digestive juices and hormones which help in digestion of food and maintainance of glucose level in blood. It can occur either suddenly or takes many years.

The severity of pancreatitis varies among individuals. Mild pancreatitis can be treated with medications but in severe cases, it can be fatal.

TYPES OF PANCREATITIS

Pancreatitis is of two types:

Acute pancreatitis: It is the sudden inflammation of pancreas. It lasts for a short time period.
Chronic pancreatitis: It occurs for a long time period and mostly occurs after acute pancreatitis.

CAUSES OF PANCREATITIS

Pancreas produces digestive enzymes which are responsible for digestion of food. The enzymes get activated when released into the intestine. But due to some abnormality, when these enzymes get activated inside the pancreas, this causes irritation of the cells of pancreas leading to inflammation. Repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis permanently damage the pancreatic cells. This forms scar tissue inside the pancreas leading to chronic pancreatitis. The pancreas then loosens its function.

RISK FACTORS OF PANCREATITIS

The factors which increase the risk of contracting pancreas are:

Increased body weight
Excessive alcohol consumption
Smoking
Increased sugar level in blood
Having a family predisposition of pancreatitis
High levels of calcium in blood
Presence of gall stones
High cholesterol levels
Any infection
Abdominal injury
Cystic fibrosis

SYMPTOMS OF PANCREATITIS

Pain in abdomen
Abdominal pain radiating in back
Fever
Increased heart rate
Tenderness
Nausea
Vomiting
Weight loss
Presence of fat in stools
Diarrhea

COMPLICATIONS OF PANCREATITIS

The complications which are associated with pancreatitis are:

Viral or bacterial infections
Difficulty in breathing
Respiratory problems
Malnutrition
Diabetes
Pseudocyst
Kidney failure
Pancreatic cancer

DIAGNOSIS OF PANCREATITIS

The doctor will do a thorough physical examination of the patient. He will ask about the signs and symptoms of the disease. He will recommend some of the tests to the patients for the evaluation of the disease:

Complete blood count
Liver function tests
Renal function tests
Ultrasound
CT scan

INTRODUCTION
According to Ayurveda, our body is made up of five elements which are water, earth, sky, fire and air. These five elements are also known as Panch Mahabhoot and this Panch Mahabhoot is the source of subtle energy of our body. In religious point of view also these Panch Mahabhutas have great importance, because our universe has originated from the combination of these things and our body has originated from these combinations. These five elements live in harmony with each other in our body and keep the body healthy. Doshas are born from the combination of these five Mahabhutas. A dosha is born out of a combination of two great elements, which are mentioned below:-

Vata Dosha – Air and Sky
Pitta Dosha – Fire and Water
Kapha Dosha – Earth and Water
Vata, Pitta and Kapha all three are present in our body in balanced quantity, but if any element increases or decreases in these three, then we may have to face many physical problems due to it. These are called doshas because of the problems arising due to disturbances in the balance of these three. Since these doshas are three in number, they are collectively called Tridosha. Ayurveda clearly believes that if the balance of any one of these three doshas is disturbed, then many physical problems are bound to arise which can range from moderate to severe and severe to very severe. Let us know in detail about these three doshas one by one.

The blood flowing in our body would flow from one place to another due to Vata. Not only this, all the metals present in the body are also able to do their work due to this Vata and the contact of any one part of the body with another part is also possible due to Vata.
