Erection Problems in Male & Female

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to attain or maintain an erection adequate for the sexual satisfaction of both partners. Erection problems are common in adult men. Almost all men sometimes have trouble getting or keeping an erection. In many cases, the problem goes away with little or no treatment. Being tired, stressed, having problems with your partner, or drinking too much can make it tough to get an erection, and it’s normal for that to happen once in a while. See doctor, however, if it’s an ongoing problem. He will help figure out the cause and give treatment options.

Acidity- Imbalanced Acid Secretion

Acidity, hyperacidity, heartburn, indigestion, etc are widespread conditions in our fast-paced and stress-based society. It is an addressing task to create and maintain the appropriate acid balance in the stomach.  The digestive glands of stomach secrete hydrochloric acid that helps in digestion of food. Excess production of acid by gastric glands of stomach causes acidity/ heartburn.

The main cause of acidity is overeating, eating wrong food combinations (milk and fish together), eating too rapidly and neglecting proper mastication of food.

Heartburn, which is a painful burning feeling in upper abdomen or chest, occurs when gastric juice from stomach moves in to the lower oesophagus (food pipe). This reflux happens when the valve that separates the esophagus and the stomach does not close properly. Symptoms often worsens by lying down, bending forward or straining.

Over secretion of acids results into ulcer, which are produced by an imbalance between gastroduodenal mucosal defense mechanisms. Burning pain in the gut is the most common symptom of ulcer.

There are 3 types of ulcers:

1. Gastric ulcer which affects stomach.

2. Duodenal ulcer which affects duodenum.

3. Esophageal ulcer which affects esophagus.

Complementary medicine i.e. natural and herbal therapy provides better treatment for acidity and ulcer. Several herbs are effective and were used since ancient time for treating acidity. Herbs which are commonly used for relieving symptoms of heartburn are Yashtimadhu, Amalaki, Shunthi, Shatavari, Usheer, Sariva etc. These herbs improve mucosal defensive functions and reduce acid secretions.

Home remedies:

•    Chewing fennel or ajwain seeds helps to relieve heartburn.

•    Dried ginger and dried amalaki are also good remedy for indigestion.

•    Drink glass of cumin seeds boil water after each meal to treat acidity.

•    A glass of cold milk gives instant relief

Dietary and lifestyle modification helps to relieve the symptoms and prevents its recurrence.

  Diet and lifestyle modification

• A suitable diet must be strictly followed

• Avoid spicy, salty and acidic foods.

• Avoid overeating

• Sit upright during meals and after meals. Do not lie down immediately after a meal

• Milk promotes stomach acid so reduce consumption of milk

• Avoid consumption of smoking and alcohol

• Use relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, music therapy, acupuncture, massages and acupressure.

• Should follow regular exercise

Charak Paddahti advices Vaman and virechan as panchakarma therapy under doctor’s supervision.

Diabetes Does Damage The Liver Protect It With Phytomedicines

Adults with newly diagnosed diabetes are at increased risk for advanced liver disease, known as diabetic hepatopathy, according to the results of a population-based, matched, retrospective cohort study reported online June 21, 2010 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

"The negative impact of diabetes mellitus is well recognized, yet little is known about the effect of this disease on the liver, an organ susceptible to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related to insulin resistance," write Liane Porepa, MD, from the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, and colleagues.

The investigators used administrative health databases for the province of Ontario from 1994 to 2006 to identify 438,069 adults with newly diagnosed diabetes. A comparison group of 2,059,708 individuals without known diabetes were matched 5:1 to exposed persons by birth year, sex, and local health region. Persons with preexisting liver or alcohol-related disease were excluded. The main study endpoint was incident serious liver disease, defined as Cirrhosis, liver failure and its complications, or receipt of a liver transplant.

Among persons with newly diagnosed Diabetes, the incidence rate of serious liver disease was 8.19 per 10,000 person-years vs 4.17 per 10,000 person-years among those without diabetes, yielding an unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.92. After adjustment for age, income, urban residence, healthcare utilization, and preexisting comorbid conditions (hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and cardiovascular disease), the HR was 1.77 (95% CI, 1.68 - 1.86). The authors write, "Whether the increased risk of liver damage reflects nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or direct glycemic injury of the liver remains to be determined."

Whatever may be the underlying mechanism of the diabetic hepatopathy, the most natural way to protect the liver from most damaging influences would call for the use of herbs like Picrorrhiza kurroa, Andrographis paniculata, Phyllanthus niruri and Tephrosia purpurea, which offer the best documented hepato-protective effects.
