Psoriatic Arthritis - Can it be cured completely?

Joint pain, stiffness and swelling are the main symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis — a condition that features red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. Most people develop psoriasis first and are later diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but the joint problems can sometimes begin before skin lesions appear.


Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis are critical to relieve pain and inflammation and help prevent progressive joint damage.They can affect any part of your body, including your fingertips and spine, and can range from relatively mild to severe. In both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, disease flares may alternate with periods of remission.


Generally, one or more of the following symptoms appears:


  • Generalized fatigue

  • Tenderness, pain and swelling over tendons

  • Swollen fingers and toes

  • Stiffness, pain, throbbing, swelling and tenderness in one or more joints

  • A reduced range of motion

  • Morning stiffness and tiredness

  • Nail changes—for example, the nail separates from the nail bed and/or becomes pitted and mimics fungus infections

  • Redness and pain of the eye, such as conjunctivitis

  • Some 10%-15% of people with psoriasis also develop inflammation of joints (psoriatic arthritis).

  • The first appearance of the skin disease (psoriasis) can be separated from the onset of joint disease (arthritis) by years.

  • Psoriatic arthritis belongs to a group of arthritis conditions that can cause inflammation of the spine (spondyloarthropathies).

  • Patients with psoriatic arthritis can develop inflammation of tendons, cartilage, eyes, lung lining, and, rarely, the aorta.

Psoriatic arthritis is a systemic rheumatic disease that also can cause inflammation in body tissues away from the joints other than the skin, such as in the eyes, heart, lungs, and kidneys. Psoriatic arthritis shares many features with several other arthritic conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and arthritis associated with Crohn’s diseaseand ulcerative colitis. All of these conditions can cause inflammation in the spine and other joints, and the eyes, skin, mouth, and various organs.

Muscular Dystrophy - Stop the Gradual Decline in Health !!

treatment for muscular dystrophy There has been gradual increase in the number of children & adults with Muscular Dystrophy we are seeing every month. In our monthly review last week, we noticed that we had seen a spurt of patient visiting us for the treatment of  Muscular Dystrophy. But we also noticed that many people keep suffering without knowing that Muscular Dystrophy can be helped with proper Homeopathy treatment for Muscular Dystrophy in the initial stages and offer a pallative treatment for Muscular Dystrophy in the advanced stages.


So what is Muscular Dystrophy?


And what are the options for the treatment of Muscular Dystrophy?


Muscular Dystrophy is a general term for a number of hereditary, progressive degenerative disorders affecting skeletal muscles, and often other organ


It is a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement. The muscles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles are also affected in some forms of muscular dystrophy, and a few forms involve other organs as well.


Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue.


Risk factors for Muscular dystrophy:



  • It occurs in all ages & both the sexes, but more commonly seen in young boys

  • Positive family history has higher risk of developing disease or passing on to their children


Causes of Muscular dystrophy:



  • It is a genetic disorder.

  • There are different types of Muscular dystrophy; all others are caused by mutation of different genes.


treatment for muscular dystrophy Types of Muscular dystrophy:



  1. Duechenne muscular dystrophy

  2. Becker’s muscular dystrophy

  3. Myotonic muscular dystrophy

  4. Limb girdle dystrophy

  5. Facioscapulohumoral dystrophy

  6. Congenital muscular dystrophy

  7. Occulopharyngeal muscular dystrophy

  8. Distal muscular dystrophy

  9. Emery dreifuss muscular dystrophy 




  1. Duechenne’s muscular dystrophy :


Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves muscle weakness, which quickly gets worse.


It is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in children, the muscles decrease in size and grow weaker over time yet may appear larger.


Causes:



  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects most commonly in children especially males. It appears between the ages of 2 and 6.

    • Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a defective gene for dystrophin (a protein in the muscles). However, it often occurs in people without a known family history of the condition.

    • Because of the way the disease is inherited, boys are affected, not girls. The sons of females who are carriers of the disease (women with a defective gene but no symptoms themselves) each have a 50% chance of having the disease. The daughters each have a 50% chance of being carriers.




Signs & Symptoms:


The main symptom of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive neuromuscular disorder, is muscle weakness associated with muscle wasting with the voluntary muscles being first affected, especially affecting the muscles of the hips, pelvic area, thighs, shoulders, and calf muscles.


Symptoms usually appear before age 6 and may appear as early as infancy. They may include:



  • Awkward manner of walking, stepping, or running. (patients tend to walk on their forefeet, because of an increased calf tonus. Also, toe walking is a compensatory adaptation to knee extensor weakness.)

  • Frequent falls

  • Fatigue

  • Muscle weakness, begins in the legs and pelvis, but also occurs less severely in the arms, neck, and other areas of the body

  • Difficulty with motor skills (running, hopping, jumping)

  • Progressive difficulty walking, Ability to walk may be lost by age 12, and the child will have to use a wheelchair

  • Muscle contractures , muscle fiber deformities

  • Pseudo hypertrophy (enlarging) of tongue and calf muscles. The muscle tissue is eventually replaced by fat and connective tissue

  • Skeletal deformities (including scoliosis in some cases)


Other symptoms:



  • Learning difficulties (the IQ can be below 75), learning disorders like (dyslexia ), higher risk of neurobehavioral disorders (e.g., ADHD), it is because of absent or dysfunctional dystrophin in the brain

  • Breathing difficulties and heart disease usually start by age 20


Prognosis:



  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to quickly worsening disability.

  • Death usually occurs by age 25, typically from lung disorders.




  1. .     Becker’s muscular dystrophy:


Becker muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves slowly worsening muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis.


Causes:



  • It is an X Linked recessive inherited disorder

  • It has a higher risk in positive family history

  • Females rarely develop symptoms. Males will develop symptoms if they inherit the defective gene.

  • It is more common in boys between the ages 5-15yrs


Signs & Symptoms:



  • Difficulty walking that gets worse over time; by age 25-30 the person is usually unable to walk

  • Frequent falls

  • Difficulty getting up from the floor and climbing stairs

  • Difficulty with running, hopping, and jumping

  • Toe walking

  • Muscle deformities (contractions of heels, legs; Pseudo hypertrophy of calf muscles)



  • People with this disorder typically experience a loss of muscle mass (wasting).

  • Gait problems, Loss of balance and coordination

  • Bones may develop abnormally, causing skeletal deformities of the chest and other areas.


Other symptoms may include:



  • Breathing problems

  • Cognitive problems (these do not get worse over time)

  • Fatigue

  • Lumbar lordosis

  • Arrhythmias

  • Eye problems

  • Heart disease, particularly dilated cardiomyopathy


Prognosis:



  • Life span is shortened due to cardiac & breathing difficulties

  • It is a slowly worsening disability, it varies from person to person, and some may require wheel chair while some may require walking aids like cranes


    3.     Myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD):


Myotonic muscular dystrophy is a common multi-system disorder that affects the skeletal muscles (the muscles that move the limbs and trunk) as well as smooth muscles (the muscles that control the digestive system) and cardiac muscles of the heart.


The most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults.


Myotonic muscular dystrophy affects both men and women, and it usually appears any time from early childhood to adulthood. In rare cases, it appears in newborns (congenital MMD).


Causes & Types:



  • MMD is divided into two types.

  • Type 1 MMD (MMD1) occurs when a gene on chromosome 19 called DMPK contains an abnormally expanded section.

  • Type 2 MMD (MMD2) is caused by an abnormally expanded section in a gene on chromosome 3 called ZNF9.


Signs & Symptoms:


The name refers to a symptom, myotonia — prolonged spasm or stiffening of muscles after use. This symptom is usually worse in cold temperatures.


The disease causes muscle weakness and also affects the central nervous system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, and hormone-producing glands.


Symptoms of myotonic dystrophy might include:



  • Difficulty releasing one’s grip (myotonia).

  • Weakness of muscles in the hands and feet

  • The characteristic appearance of a “haggard” or “mournful” face is caused by facial muscle wasting

  • Frontal hair loss

  • Frequent falls

  • Drooping eyelids & open mouth

  • Difficulty swallowing and abnormal heart rhythms.

  • Recurrent jaw dislocations & voice changes.

  • Non-muscle symptoms may also include learning difficulties, daytime sleepiness, infertility and early cataracts.


Prognosis:



  • In most cases, daily living isn’t restricted for many years. Those with myotonic MD have a decreased life expectancy.


4. Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD):


Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are inherited disorders, which first affect the muscles around the shoulder girdle and hips. These diseases get worse, and may eventually involve other muscles


Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) isn’t really one disease. It’s a group of disorders affecting voluntary muscles, mainly those around the hips and shoulders.


Causes:



  • An important risk factor is having a family member with muscular dystrophy.

  • This appears in the teens to early adulthood and affects males and females.

  • LGMD is caused by a mutation in any of at least 15 different genes that affect proteins necessary for muscle function.

    • In most cases, both parents must pass on the non-working (defective) gene for a child to have the disease (autosomal recessive disorder). However in some rare types only one parent needs to pass on the bad gene to affect the child (autosomal dominant disorder).




Signs & Symptoms:


In its most common form, Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy causes progressive weakness that begins in the hips and moves to the shoulders, arms, and legs. Within 20 years, walking becomes difficult or impossible. Sufferers typically live to middle age to late adulthood.


Other symptoms include:



  • Abnormal, sometimes waddling, walk

  • Joints that are fixed in a contracted position (late in the disease)

  • Large and muscular-looking calves (pseudo hypertrophy), which are not actually strong

  • Loss of muscle mass, thinning of certain body parts

  • Low back pain



  • Atrophy can lead to limited mobility and an inability to raise the arms above the shoulders

  • Palpitations or passing-out spells

  • Cardiopulmonary complications sometimes occur in later stages of the disease



  • Weakness of the muscles in the face , &  lower legs


Prognosis:



  • Disease tends to have weakness & gets worse in affected muscles & spreads

    • The disease causes loss of movement or dependence on a wheelchair within 20 – 30 years.

    • Heart muscle weakness and abnormal electrical activity of the heart can increase the risk of palpitations, fainting, and sudden death. Most patients with this group of diseases live into adulthood, but do not reach their full life expectancy.




5. Facio-scapulo-humoral muscular dystrophy (FSHD):


Facio-scapulo-humeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic muscle disorder in which the muscles of the face, shoulder blades and upper arms are among the most affected.


This form of muscular dystrophy appears in the teens to early adulthood and affects males and females.


Causes:



  • It is a genetic disorder.

  • It appears in both men & women & may develop in a child if either parent carries gene for the disorder


Signs & Symptoms:


Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue that gets worse over time.


Facioscapulohumeral refers to the muscles that move the face, shoulder blade, and upper arm bone however can also affect muscles around pelvis , hips & lower legs


Symptoms include:



  • Eyelid drooping

  • Mild to moderate disability in talking , chewing , swallowing & walking may be seen

  • Inability to whistle

  • Decreased facial expression

  • Depressed or angry facial expression

  • Difficulty pronouncing words

  • Shoulder muscle weakness causing sloping of shoulders

  • Weakness of the lower legs is possible as the disorder gets worse. The weakness can be severe enough to interfere with walking.

  • Hearing loss and abnormal heart rhythms may occur, but are rare.


Prognosis:


Disability is often minor. Lifespan is usually not affected.


6. Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD):


Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) refers to a group of muscular dystrophies that show them at or near birth. Muscular dystrophies in general are genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles.


The two forms that have been identified — Fukuyama and congenital muscular dystrophy with myosin deficiency which cause muscle weakness at birth or in the first few months of life, along with severe and early contractures (shortening or shrinking of muscles that causes joint problems). Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy causes abnormalities in the brain and often seizures.


Causes;



  • Congenital muscular dystrophies progress slowly and affect males and females.

  • CMD is caused by genetic mutations affecting some of the proteins necessary for muscles and sometimes for the eyes and or brain.


Signs & symptoms:



  • Muscle weakness with stiffness & looseness of joints.

  • Spinal curvature

  • Respiratory insufficiency

  • Learning disabilities or mental retardation

  • Eye defects or seizures


7. Occulophayngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD)


Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare genetic muscle disorder with onset during adulthood most often between 40 and 60 years of age. OPMD is characterized by slowly progressive muscle disease (myopathy) affecting the muscles of the upper eyelids and the throat.


Causes:



  • It is an inherited genetic defect from either one or both the parents.

  • It affects men &  women equally


Signs & symptoms:



  • Drooping of eyelids

  • Double vision (diplopia)

  • Difficult in swallowing (Dysphagia)

  • Muscle weakness esp. legs & arms , in some cases may cause difficulty in walking


8. Distal Muscular dystrophy (DD):


DD is a class of muscular dystrophies that primarily affect distal muscles, which are those of the lower arms, hands, lower legs and feet.


It is generally less severe, progresses more slowly, and affects fewer muscles than other forms of muscular dystrophy.


This group of rare diseases affects adult men and women.


Causes:



  • It is an inherited autosomal dominant or recessive pattern disorder

  • It is caused by mutation of atleast 8 genes that affect proteins necessary


Symptoms:



  • Weakness & wasting of distal muscles (forearms, hands, lower legs, feet)

    • Some forms of distal muscular dystrophy affect the muscles used for speaking or swallowing, and others may affect the heart.

    • Most forms of distal muscular dystrophy are progressive, age of onset and rate of progression can vary widely from one type to the next.




9. Emery-dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD):


Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles.


This rare form of muscular dystrophy appears from childhood to the early teens and affects only males.


Causes:



  • EDMD is caused by mutations in the genes that produce proteins in the membrane surrounding the nucleus of each muscle cell.


Symptoms:



  • Weakness & wasting of muscles in shoulders, upper arms, lower limbs.

  • Muscle shortening (contractures) occurs early in the disease.

  • Weakness can spread to chest and pelvic muscles.

    • The disease progresses slowly and causes less severe muscle weakness than some other forms of muscular dystrophy.

    • Life-threatening heart problems are common and can also affect carriers




Muscular Dystrophy Treatment through Homeopathy:

How Colonoscopy can help in the treatment of Colon Cancer?

Using colonoscopy to screen average-risk people can reduce the overall risk of a late-stage colorectal cancer diagnosis by about 70 percent, according to a new study.People who have had a colonoscopy in the past decade are less likely to be diagnosed with advanced colon cancer than those who haven’t been screened recently, according to a new study.

In addition to the 70 percent reduction in overall risk, people who had been screened using colonoscopy had a 74 percent reduction in risk for left-sided colorectal cancer and a 64 percent reduction in risk for right-sided colorectal cancer. (The right side of the colon, also known as the ascending colon, travels up the right side of the abdomen. The left side, or descending colon, travels down the left side of the abdomen.)

Colonoscopy has been widely recommended as a screening tool for colorectal cancer since it allows a physician to detect and remove polyps that might turn into cancer, and find early-stage cancers that are more likely to respond to treatment.

This study doesn’t show that colonoscopy is the only test, but it does show that colonoscopy has the advantage in being able to see the right side (of the colon)… unlike sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood testing.

According to the American Cancer Society, about one in 20 people will be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer during their lifetime.

A 2009 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that colonoscopy did a better job of lowering death rates for left-sided colon cancer than it did for right-sided. A possible reason for this is that it’s technically more difficult to reach the right side of the colon. Also, bowel preparation may not be as effective in the right colon. What’s more, there may be biological differences in the tumors that occur in the left versus the right colon.  For example, polyps on the right side may be flatter and, thus, harder to find and remove.

Welling Cancer Treatment Protocol has shown wonderful results in the treatment of colon cancer in the past 10 years. Meet our consultants to know more about the specialized treatment for colon cancer and how it can benefit you.

How to get pregnant if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

PCOS can be a very complex illness to cure especially if you are planning for a baby. PCOS can lead to various cosmetic problems and involve various organs in your body thus preventing naturally conceiving. But are you really serious about having a baby, naturally?  Continue reading

If you have PCOS and you’re overweight, losing weight is one way to improve your chances of pregnancy. Your doctor also might prescribe medication to lower your insulin levels, since elevated insulin levels — caused by your body’s inability to recognize insulin — has been found to be a common problem among many women with PCOS. Chronically elevated insulin levels can also lead to diabetes. Women with PCOS may be at higher risk for developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and endometrial cancer, especially if PCOS is untreated.

Conventionally doctors have maintained that PCOS can’t be cured, but they advice treatments to just treat the symptoms of PCOS by prescribing contraceptive medicines, diabetes medicines and ovulation medicines,  thus try to help the infertility associated with this condition.

But Homeopathy treatment customized especially for you can be very effective in the complete cure of PCOS and the associated problems like acne, hair growth on face, alopecia, weight gain ,insulin resistance etc., irrespective if you are trying to conceive or not. If you are trying to conceive, Homeopathy can be your fastest option to conceive naturally and without the harmful effects of hormones on you and your baby.

With right Homeopathy treatment, you might never require the need of IVF , ICSI or other harmful ovulation medcines.

10 Crore People with Undiagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in India !

Homeopathic treatment for Chronic Kidney disease ( CKD)According to latest estimates, there are more than 10 crore people in India with un-diagnosed, untreated chronic kidney disease (CKD) who require urgent kidney treatment. Kidney can be saved and the progress of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be halted with a customized Homeopathy treatment.

Over the last decade, CKD has been recognized as a major global public health problem. A significant proportion has CKD of un-determined etiology. These patients are younger, have a lower income and more advanced CKD. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global threat to health in general and for developing countries in particular, because therapy is expensive and life-long.

Minimal physical activity, unhealthy diet, smoking and drinking are some of the reasons that are resulting in an increased number of chronic kidney diseases – especially among women – in both rural and urban India. In most cases, the disease is only identified at an advanced stage or end stage. It’s important that people are aware and realize the importance of timely intervention.

CKD is a long-term condition that does not cause any symptoms in its initial stages but can potentially lead to renal failure (which could require dialysis treatment) or, in the most serious cases, premature death.

What is chronic kidney disease?

 

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys do not work as well as normal in filtering waste products from the blood. The disease does not usually cause any symptoms in the early stages although people with all stages of CKD are known to have an increased risk of stroke or heart attack. One of the reasons why CKD can lead to an increased risk is that the kidneys play an important role in regulating blood pressure, so damage to the kidneys can lead to the worsening of pre-existing hypertension (high blood pressure).

Risk factors for CKD include:
  • hypertension, which in turn is associated with obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, eating high levels of salt, increasing age, having a family history of hypertension, stress and being of African-Caribbean or south Asian origin
  • diabetes, type 1 and type 2

In some people, CKD may cause a significant loss of kidney function (kidney failure, also known as renal failure) where the person may need to have artificial kidney treatment (renal replacement therapy, either through dialysis or a kidney transplant).

What are the symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Most people may not have any severe symptoms until their kidney disease is advanced. However, you may notice that you:

  • feel more tired and have less energy
  • have trouble concentrating
  • have a poor appetite
  • have trouble sleeping
  • have muscle cramping at night
  • have swollen feet and ankles
  • have puffiness around your eyes, especially in the morning
  • have dry, itchy skin
  • need to urinate more often, especially at night.

Anyone can get chronic kidney disease at any age. However, some people are more likely than others to develop kidney disease. You may have an increased risk for kidney disease if you:

  • have diabetes
  • have high blood pressure
  • have a family history of chronic kidney disease
  • are older
What happens in your test results for chronic kidney disease ( CKD)?

Your doctor will want to pinpoint your diagnosis and check your kidney function to help plan your treatment. The doctor may do the following:

  • Calculate your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which is the best way to tell how much kidney function you have. You do not need to have another test to know your GFR. Your doctor can calculate it from your blood creatinine, your age, race, gender and other factors. Your GFR tells your doctor your stage of kidney disease and helps the doctor plan your treatment.
  • Perform an ultrasound or CT scan to get a picture of your kidneys and urinary tract. This tells your doctor whether your kidneys are too large or too small, whether you have a problem like a kidney stone or tumor and whether there are any problems in the structure of your kidneys and urinary tract.
What is the treatment for chronic kidney disease CKD?

With CKD, the damage to your kidneys may be permanent.  Welling Homeopathy Kidney treatment protocol halts the progress of CKD and stimulates the self-repairing of your kidney. Gradually the Creatinine and Uric acid levels gets regularized without dialysis with proper treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Yourself, you can take steps to help slow down the CKD and keep the damage from getting worse .

  • Control your blood sugar if you have diabetes
  • Keep a healthy blood pressure
  • Eat a heart healthy diet (low in salt and fat)
  • Exercise most days of the week
  • Keep a healthy weight
  • Do not smoke or use tobacco
  • Limit alcohol
  • Talk to your doctor about medicines that might help protect your kidneys

If you treat kidney disease early with specialized Homeopathy treatment, you may be able to halt the progress and save the kidney!

If kidney disease is not treated, it can cause your kidneys to fail, and you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to live.

What steps can I take to prevent early CKD from worsening?

Effective treatment of kidney disease can prevent the condition from getting worse. Effective treatment will depend on the stage of CKD and can involve making lifestyle changes including stopping smoking and increasing your activity levels, and in some cases taking medication to control blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. People receiving treatment for kidney disease often have regular reviews and a “care plan” is sometimes used to help a person manage their day-to-day health.

Treatment for Lichen Planus: Is there an alternative to steroids?

Homeopathy treatment of Lichen Planus in mumbai Lichen planus is fairly easy to identify because its color, often described as violet, sets it apart from similar skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Depending on the person affected, it might itch intensely or just a little.  Conventional medicines accepts that, there is no cure for the disease. And they might keep you on steroids for as long as you have skin eruptions, and that may be as long as 2-3 years or more. Homeopathy treatment for Lichen planus is gentle, painless and quite rapid. Though Homeopathy has been largely effective in the treatment of Lichen planus, it does not cause any deep rooted harm like steroids can do on a long run.

Lichen planus is an inflammatory skin condition, characterized by an itchy, non-infectious rash of small, polygonal (many sided) flat-topped pink or purple lesions (bumps) on the arms and legs. Other parts of the body may also be affected, including the mouth, nails, scalp, vulva, vagina, and penis. Involvement in the scalp can result in hair loss – sometimes permanent.

Cause of Lichen Planus

Nobody knows what the exact causes of lichen planus are. We know it can be triggered by taking certain medications, including thiazide diuretics, antimalarials and phenothiazines (a group of tranquilizing drugs with antipsychotic actions). A significant number of skin specialist doctors (dermatologists) believe it might be classified as an autoimmune disease. A higher-than-normal percentage of people with hepatitis C and some other liver diseases have lichen planus.

Oral lichen planus is more common in women than in men. Skin lichen planus affects both sexes equally. It typically occurs in people over 30 years of age. About half of all affected people have oral lichen planus (symptoms in the inner surface of the mouth). Oral lichen planus typically occurs inside the cheeks, but may also affect the lips, gums and tongue.

What are the signs and symptoms of lichen planus?

 A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor notice. For example, drowsiness may be a symptom while dilated pupils may be a sign. Lichen planus of the skin:

  • The rash appears abruptly, and usually lasts for several months
  • There are clumps or patterns of shiny, raised, red/pink/purple, flat-topped papules (bumps)
  • Papules are approximately 3mm to 5mm in diameter
  • Sometimes there may be white streaks on the papules, called Wickham’s striae
  • Intense itching, especially at night
  • Most affected areas are the wrists, elbows, ankles, and lower back. However, other parts of the body may be affected. The shins may be affected by hypertrophic (thickened) lichen planus, while the armpits may have annular (ring-shaped) lichen planus.

The first attack may continue for weeks, and even months, while recurrences can go on for years – recurrences are more common in cases of oral lichen planus. When symptoms are gone there may be dark brown or gray spots on the skin, which are more noticeable if the patient has dark skin.

Oral lichen planus (affects the mouth):

  • White streaks on the inside of the cheeks. The gums, tongue and lips may also be affected.
  • The streaks are not usually painful or itchy
  • The white streaks are persistent (they do not go away)
  • Possible redness and blistering of the gums
  • Sore mouth ulcers can develop, and recur (erosive lichen planus)
  • The patient’s sense of taste may become blunted. Some experience a metallic taste
  • Dry mouth
  • Spicy foods, crispy foods, and tomato products can exacerbate symptoms

Penile lichen planus (lichen planus of the penis):

  • Purple/white ring-shaped patches appear around the glans (head of the penis)
  • They are not usually itchy
  • Symptoms are similar to thrush, and often mistaken for thrush

Lichen planus of the vagina and vulva:

  • Vulva – white streaks develop, similar to those that appear in the mouth. They are usually not itchy or painful. The skin may be red. Erosive lichen planus may affect the inner lips (labia minora) and the entrance to the vagina (introitus) – the affected mucous membrane is bright red and raw.

Treatment for Lichen Planus: Is there an alternative to steroids?

Treatment for Lichen Planus: Is there an alternative to steroids?

Homeopathy treatment of Lichen Planus in mumbai Lichen planus is fairly easy to identify because its color, often described as violet, sets it apart from similar skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Depending on the person affected, it might itch intensely or just a little.  Conventional medicines accepts that, there is no cure for the disease. And they might keep you on steroids for as long as you have skin eruptions, and that may be as long as 2-3 years or more. Homeopathy treatment for Lichen planus is gentle, painless and quite rapid. Though Homeopathy has been largely effective in the treatment of Lichen planus, it does not cause any deep rooted harm like steroids can do on a long run.

Lichen planus is an inflammatory skin condition, characterized by an itchy, non-infectious rash of small, polygonal (many sided) flat-topped pink or purple lesions (bumps) on the arms and legs. Other parts of the body may also be affected, including the mouth, nails, scalp, vulva, vagina, and penis. Involvement in the scalp can result in hair loss – sometimes permanent.

Cause of Lichen Planus

Nobody knows what the exact causes of lichen planus are. We know it can be triggered by taking certain medications, including thiazide diuretics, antimalarials and phenothiazines (a group of tranquilizing drugs with antipsychotic actions). A significant number of skin specialist doctors (dermatologists) believe it might be classified as an autoimmune disease. A higher-than-normal percentage of people with hepatitis C and some other liver diseases have lichen planus.

Oral lichen planus is more common in women than in men. Skin lichen planus affects both sexes equally. It typically occurs in people over 30 years of age. About half of all affected people have oral lichen planus (symptoms in the inner surface of the mouth). Oral lichen planus typically occurs inside the cheeks, but may also affect the lips, gums and tongue.

What are the signs and symptoms of lichen planus?

 A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor notice. For example, drowsiness may be a symptom while dilated pupils may be a sign. Lichen planus of the skin:

  • The rash appears abruptly, and usually lasts for several months
  • There are clumps or patterns of shiny, raised, red/pink/purple, flat-topped papules (bumps)
  • Papules are approximately 3mm to 5mm in diameter
  • Sometimes there may be white streaks on the papules, called Wickham’s striae
  • Intense itching, especially at night
  • Most affected areas are the wrists, elbows, ankles, and lower back. However, other parts of the body may be affected. The shins may be affected by hypertrophic (thickened) lichen planus, while the armpits may have annular (ring-shaped) lichen planus.

The first attack may continue for weeks, and even months, while recurrences can go on for years – recurrences are more common in cases of oral lichen planus. When symptoms are gone there may be dark brown or gray spots on the skin, which are more noticeable if the patient has dark skin.

Oral lichen planus (affects the mouth):

  • White streaks on the inside of the cheeks. The gums, tongue and lips may also be affected.
  • The streaks are not usually painful or itchy
  • The white streaks are persistent (they do not go away)
  • Possible redness and blistering of the gums
  • Sore mouth ulcers can develop, and recur (erosive lichen planus)
  • The patient’s sense of taste may become blunted. Some experience a metallic taste
  • Dry mouth
  • Spicy foods, crispy foods, and tomato products can exacerbate symptoms

Penile lichen planus (lichen planus of the penis):

  • Purple/white ring-shaped patches appear around the glans (head of the penis)
  • They are not usually itchy
  • Symptoms are similar to thrush, and often mistaken for thrush

Lichen planus of the vagina and vulva:

  • Vulva – white streaks develop, similar to those that appear in the mouth. They are usually not itchy or painful. The skin may be red. Erosive lichen planus may affect the inner lips (labia minora) and the entrance to the vagina (introitus) – the affected mucous membrane is bright red and raw. The labia minora may shrink and stick to each other or to the labia majora (outer lips).
  • Vagina – may be red. Scar tissue may distort the shape of the vagina. Lichen planus may affect deeper within the vagina, causing desquamative vaginitis. A mucky discharge appears when the surface cells in the vagina peel off. The eroded vagina may easily bleed when touched. Sexual intercourse may become difficult or impossible.

Lichen planus follicaris (lichen planopilaris) – this affects hairy areas, such as the scalp. There may be redness and irritation. Sometimes there is hair loss, which may be permanent.

Homeopathy Treatment For Trigeminal Neuralgia - Is It The Only Option?

Homeopathy treatment trigeminal neuralgia Mumbai Trigeminal neuralgia is commonly experienced through shooting pain in the face. In August 2011, a popular Indian film actor, Salman Khan had undergone a surgery as he was suffering from “Trigeminal Neuralgia”, a nerve disorder that caused him intense pain in the face. It appears that he is not the only one suffering from it and as the pains symptoms got to be published in newspapers, it started getting reported to doctors, more often.

Now trigeminal neuralgia affects the trigeminal nerve, one of the largest nerves in the head. The trigeminal nerve sends impulses of touch, pain, pressure, and temperature to the brain from the face, jaw, gums, forehead, and around the eyes.

If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face – such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup – may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain. You may initially experience short, mild attacks, but trigeminal neuralgia can progress, causing longer, more frequent bouts of searing pain.

What are the causes of trigeminal neuralgia?

The human face has two trigeminal nerves, one on each side. Each nerve splits into three branches which transmit sensations of pain and touch from the face, mouth, and teeth to the brain.

Most cases of trigeminal neuralgia are believed to be caused by blood vessels pressing on the root of the trigeminal nerve. This is said to make the nerve transmit pain signals which are experienced as the stabbing pains of trigeminal neuralgia. However, experts are not completely sure of the cause.

What are the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia?

Typically, a patient will have one or more of these symptoms:

  • Intermittent twinges of mild pain.
  • Severe episodes of searing, shooting, jabbing pain that feel like electric shocks.
  • Sudden attacks of pain which are triggered by touching the face, chewing, speaking or brushing teeth.
  • Spasms of pain which last from a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes.
  • Episodes of cluster attacks which may go on for days, weeks, months, and in some cases longer. There may be periods without any pain.
  • Pain wherever the trigeminal nerve and its branches may reach, including the forehead, eyes, lips, gums, teeth, jaw and cheek.
  • Pain which affects one side of the face.
  • Pain on both sides of the face (much less common).
  • Pain that is focused in one spot or spreads in a wider pattern.
  • Attacks of pain which occur more regularly and intensely over time.
  • Tingling or numbness in the face before pain develops.

Some patients may experience bouts of pain regularly for days, weeks or months at a time. Attacks of pain may occur hundreds of times each day in severe cases. Some patients may have periods without any symptoms which last for months or even years.

What is the common treatment for trigeminal neuralgia?

For Trigeminal neuralgia treatment, conventional doctors would prescribe Carbamazepine. Carbamazepine is actually an anticonvulsant (epilepsy) which is found to be effective treatment in many cases as long as taken for a very long period.

Serious side effects of Carbamazepine are:

  1. It has tendency to cause serious and life-threatening blood dyscrasias and bone marrow suppression
  2. Overdose of carbamazepine could prove fatal, deaths have been reported rarely, with very large doses, without supervision of a doctor.
  3. Increased infections or infections that do not go away
  4. An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
  5. Early side effects are drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, or nausea.
  6. Memory loss and a sense of exhaustion are observed commonly.
  7. Weight gain is a major and common side effect.
  8. Osteoporosis (loss of calcium) is a common adverse effect demanding extra dose of calcium supplement.
  9. Damage in vision is a major long term side effect.
  10. Skin rash and lowered blood pressure may prove serious problem in some patients, calling for urgent medical attention.
  11. Hematologic (blood related), hepatic (liver related), cardiovascular (heart related) and dermatologic reactions, which require discontinuation of therapy.
  12. Psychiatric symptoms likes hallucinations (visual or acoustic), depression, sometimes, talkativeness, agitation, loss of appetite, restlessness, aggressive behavior, confusion, suicidal behavior etc

Alternatively there is a surgical treatment and also set of injections, which are given to silent the nerves.

Psoriasis Treatment: Untreated Psoriasis can lead to early Diabetes

Welling Homeopathy treatment of psoriasis  Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 125 million people worldwide. Psoriasis is widespread skin condition that runs in families. It is characterized by red, raised, flaky and often itchy, rash, and is found mostly on the knees and elbows, but can appear anywhere. Doctors believe it is an autoimmune disease; the body thinks of the skin as foreign and therefore gives off an inflammatory response.

Untreated patients with psoriasis are at high risk of new-onset diabetes-mellitus, according to research presented at ESC Congress 2012.

The studies showed that patients with mild psoriasis are more than 1.5 times more likely to develop diabetes than the general public, while those suffering from severe psoriasis are twice as likely.

Studies that assessed prevalence found patients with psoriasis had a 27 percent elevated risk of getting diabetes, compared with the general public.

All but one study found a link between psoriasis and diabetes. These trials contained data from outpatient clinics, insurance claims, and hospitals.

It has been known that blood pressure is harder to control in patients with psoriasis and also that psoriasis patients suffer higher instances of heart attack, strokes, and cardiovascular-related deaths. In order to provide the best and earliest care, it is imperative for physicians to be aware of these predispositions.

Psoriasis treatment protocol offers a gentle and a very painless way to get cured from psoriasis. At Welling Homeopathy, we stimulate the immune cells that cause the destruction of its own skin cells and strive to balance their attack by giving a soothing effect on the skin. The aim of the psoriasis treatment protocol is not only to treat psoriasis but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.

Migraine Treatment: Vitamin B and Folic Acid Can Offer a Cure!

Welling Homeopathy treatment for Migraine Every month we see around 15-20 people who visit us for Homeopathy treatment of Migraine headaches.  Usually these are pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head. Physical activity may intensify the pain, but symptoms can vary from person to person and from one attack to the next. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and be so severe that all you can think about is finding a dark, quiet place to lie down.

Homeopathy treatment for Migraine can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines and gradually cure completely. If Homeopathy treatment hasn’t worked for you in the past, talk to the doctor at Welling Clinic about trying a different migraine headache medication. The right chosen medicines customized for you, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, may make a tremendous difference and help in complete cure at the earliest.

In a relief to migraine sufferers, Australian scientists have claimed that Vitamin B and folic acid supplements can treat severe headaches.

Researchers from Griffith University are on the final phase of this study to determine the most effective Vitamin B and folic acid dosage required to treat this debilitating condition.

Queensland researcher Bridget Maher said the remedy would help the 20 per cent of migraine sufferers whose condition is genetic.

“It basically reduces the frequency and severity of the migraines,” she was quoted as saying by AAP.

One in five people prone to migraines have an enzyme that doesn’t work as well as other people, she said adding “By supplementing them with Vitamin B and folate you can get around that enzyme’s defect.”

You can visit us at Welling Clinic to know how our treatment protocol can be more effective and help in the complete and painless treatment of Migraine.
