Abortion Homeopathic Treatment

                                           Abortion

Abortion is the expulsion or extraction of the fetus from the womb before it is viable, usually before the 20th week of gestation.

Abortion or Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn't realize she's pregnant.

Miscarriage is a somewhat loaded term — possibly suggesting that something was amiss in the carrying of the pregnancy. This is rarely true. Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally.

Miscarriage is a relatively common experience — but that doesn't make it any easier. Take a step toward emotional healing by understanding what can cause a mis carriage, what increases the risk and what medical care might be needed.

Types of Abortion

An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. In the context of human pregnancies, an abortion induced to preserve the health of the gravida (pregnant female) is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other reason is termed an elective abortion. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) or recurrent miscarriage (medically termed habitual abortion) is the occurrence of three consecutive miscarriages. If the proportion of pregnancies ending in miscarriage is 15%, then the probability of two consecutive miscarriages is 2.25% and the probability of three consecutive miscarriages is 0.34%. The occurrence of recurrent pregnancy loss is 1%. A large majority (85%) of women who have had two miscarriages will conceive and carry normally afterwards.

Signs and Symptoms of Abortion

The physical symptoms of a miscarriage vary according to the length of pregnancy:

At up to six weeks only small blood clots may be present, possibly accompanied by mild cramping or period pain.
At 6 to 13 weeks a clot will form around the embryo or fetus, and the placenta, with many clots up to 5 cm in size being expelled prior to a completed miscarriage. The process may take a few hours or be on and off for a few days. Symptoms vary widely and can include vomiting and loose bowels, possibly due to physical discomfort.
At over 13 weeks the fetus may be easily passed from the womb, however the placenta is more likely to be fully or partially retained in the uterus, resulting in an incomplete abortion. The physical signs of bleeding, cramping and pain can be similar to an early miscarriage, but sometimes more severe and labour-like.

 Causes

Abnormal genes or chromosomes

Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. About 50 percent of miscarriages are associated with extra or missing chromosomes. Most often, chromosome problems result from errors that occur by chance as the embryo divides and grows — not problems inherited from the parents.

Chromosomal abnormalities might lead to:

Blighted ovum. Blighted ovum occurs when no embryo forms.

Intrauterine fetal demise. In this situation, an embryo forms but stops developing and dies before any symptoms of pregnancy loss occur.

Molar pregnancy and partial molar pregnancy. With a molar pregnancy, both sets of chromosomes come from the father. A molar pregnancy is associated with abnormal growth of the placenta; there is usually no fetal development.

A partial molar pregnancy occurs when the mother's chromosomes remain, but the father provides two sets of chromosomes. A partial molar pregnancy is usually associated with abnormalities of the placenta, and an abnormal fetus.

Molar and partial molar pregnancies are not viable pregnancies. Molar and partial molar pregnancies can sometimes be associated with cancerous changes of the placenta.

Maternal health conditions

In a few cases, a mother's health condition might lead to miscarriage. Examples include:

·        Uncontrolled diabetes

·        Infections

·        Hormonal problems

·        Uterus or cervix problems

·        Thyroid disease

Risk factors

Various factors increase the risk of miscarriage, including:

Age. Women older than age 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage than do younger women. At age 35, you have about a 20 percent risk. At age 40, the risk is about 40 percent. And at age 45, it's about 80 percent.

Previous miscarriages. Women who have had two or more consecutive miscarriages are at higher risk of miscarriage.

Chronic conditions. Women who have a chronic condition, such as uncontrolled diabetes, have a higher risk of miscarriage.

Uterine or cervical problems. Certain uterine abnormalities or weak cervical tissues (incompetent cervix) might increase the risk of miscarriage.

Smoking, alcohol and illicit drugs. Women who smoke during pregnancy have a greater risk of miscarriage than do nonsmokers. Heavy alcohol use and illicit drug use also increase the risk of miscarriage.

Weight. Being underweight or being overweight has been linked with an increased risk of miscarriage

Invasive prenatal tests. Some invasive prenatal genetic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, carry a slight risk of miscarriage.

Complications

Some women who miscarry develop a uterine infection, also called a septic miscarriage. Signs and symptoms of this infection include:

·        Fever

·        Chills

·        Lower abdominal tenderness

·        Foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Anemia HOMEOPATHIC TRATMENT

                                                                              Anemia

Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. The normal level of hemoglobin is generally different in males and females. For men, anemia is typically defined as hemoglobin level of less than 13.5 gram/100ml and in women as hemoglobin of less than 12.0 gram/100ml. These definitions may vary slightly depending on the source and the laboratory reference used.

What causes anemia?

Any process that can disrupt the normal life span of a red blood cell may cause anemia. Normal life span of a red blood cell is typically around 120 days. Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow. 
Anemia is caused essentially through two basic pathways. Anemia is either caused:

1. by a decrease in production of red blood cell or hemoglobin, or
2. by a loss or destruction of blood.

As more common classifications of anemia (low hemoglobin) is based on the MCV, or the volume of individual red blood cells. 

1. If the MCV is low (less than 80), the anemia is categorized as microcytic anemia (low cell volume).
2. If the MCV is in the normal range (80-100), it is called a normocytic anemia (normal cell volume).
3. If the MCV is high, then it is called a macrocytic anemia (large cell volume).

HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT FOR ANEMIA:

Looking at each of the components of a complete blood count (CBC), especially the MCV, a physician can gather clues as what may be the most common reason for anemia.
Ferrum metallicum [Ferr]Iron is the great allopathic remedy for anaemia from almost any cause. It is also a great homoeopathic remedy, but it will not cure every case of anaemia; careful individualization is necessary. When the patient has an appearance of full bloodedness or plethora, which is followed by paleness or earthiness of the face and puffiness of the extremities, then Ferrum will benefit. It is not the remedy for the anaemia resulting from loss of fluids; that is Cinchona, or perhaps Natrum muriaticum. When Ferrum is indicated the mucous membranes are pale, more so than with Cinchona, and there is apt to be an anaemia murmur in the veins of the neck. The patient is easily exhausted. Vomiting of food after eating may occur. The patient is constantly chilly and perhaps has an afternoon or evening fever simulating hectic fever. In very stubborn cases sometimes Ferrum phosphoricum may serve better than Ferrum metallicum. Schuessler recommends first Calcarea phosphorica, then Ferrum phosphoricum. In simple, uncomplicated chlorosis Ferrum is one of our best remedies. Hughes recommends Ferrum redactum 1x or 2X. Ludlam praises Ferrum et strychnia citrate 3X, Dr.Jousset, Ferrum aceticum or the Ferrum protoxalate, and Dr.Holcombe. of New Orleans, used Ferrum phosphoricum. All these preparations of Iron may benefit cases of anaemia and chlorosis; if so, it is by virtue of their similarity to the symptoms of the case, and not because one or the other preparation of Iron is a tonic in the allopathic sense. By giving the indicated preparation of Iron it removes the underlying dyscrasia giving rise to the anaemic or chlorotic conditions and cures the trouble.

#Pulsatilla [Puls]
Pulsatilla is the great antidote to Iron, and hence is indicated in the anaemic condition produced by large or continued doses of it. The system is relaxed and worn out; the patient is chilly and suffers from gastric and menstrual derangements. Thus the symptoms resemble closely those calling for Ferrum. The cause of the anaemia must be sought for, and if the case comes from allopathic hands it is safe to infer that much Iron has been given and Pulsatilla will surely be the remedy. The Pulsatilla patient feels better in the open air. Dizziness on rising, absence of thirst, and the peculiar disposition will lead to the remedy. Cyclamen, which is similar in many respects, differ from Pulsatilla in dreading the fresh air. Cinchona is the chief remedy for anaemia resulting from loss of fluids,as in lactation or haemorrhage, or from all exhausting discharges, such as menstrual flow, long-lasting diarrhea, and sexual excesses and loss of semen. The quality of the blood is actually poorer in cases calling for Cinchona. Special symptoms are heaviness of the head, loss of sight,fainting and ringing in the ears, pale sallow complexion, sour belching, poor digestion and bloated abdomen. The patient is sensitive to draughts of air yet wants to be fanned. Dr. George Royal thinks many physicians err in giving Cinchona too low in symptomatic anaemia when much time has elapsed since the drain was made on the system. He finds the 30th. productive of better results than the lower preparations. NATrum muriaticum is also a remedy for anaemic and debilitated conditions due to loss of fluids, especially in women who suffer from menstrual disorders and in chronic cases with a dead, dirty-looking skin. Chininum arsenicosum is sometimes prescribed for anaemia, not, however, on the totality ;of the symptoms, but because it is said to be "good for it." It has been found curative in certain cases ;of pernicious anaemia. Acetic acid suits anaemic nursing women, with waxy skin, and thirst.

#Calcarea carbonica [Calc]
Almost any of the deeper acting constitutional remedies may be of use in anaemic and debilitated conditions, and especially are the Calcareas useful. Thus we have Calcarea phosphorica as the remedy for the "green sickness," chlorosis of young girls, with a complexion like wax, alabaster lips and ears, a bright eye, and when they smile or laugh it is a sickly one. The face sometimes has a true greenish hue or a sallow one. In such cases the menses are apt to be too early and then calcarea phosphorica is well indicated for this condition. Calcarea carbonica is indicated by the psoric, scrofulous or tubercular diathesis and the general symptoms of the drug, by disgust for meat, craving for sour and indigestible things, swelling of abdomen, vertigo and palpitation ;on going upstairs. The patient is in a state of worry. Constantly imagining calamities. Alumina is also a remedy for chlorosis due to the scrofulous diathesis and from improper nourishment, such as occurs in some children brought up on artificial foods. Nux vomica, too, may be indicated in anaemic conditions when due to gastro-intestinal derangements. Plumbum has been recommended for inveterate chlorosis with obstinate constipation. Alumina also, being an antipsoric, is the remedy for anaemic conditions about puberty, with abnormal craving for indigestible substances, such as slate pencils, chalk, etc.

#Arsenicum [Ars]
This being a direct poison to the red blood corpuscles takes first rank in cases of pernicious anaemia or in anaemias due to a malarial of ;toxic influence. Dr.Blackley, of England, reported four cases of pernicious anaemia cured with small doses of the remedy. It does not correspond to simple anaemias so well. It indications are excessive prostration considerable oedema, violent and irregular palpitation,marked appetite for acids and brandy, extreme anxiety and rapid emaciation . There is irritable stomach and intense thirst. When the allopathic school uses Arsenic as a blood tonic, and Dr.Bartholow says, "it is one of the most valuable remedies in the treatment of chlorosis and anaemia," it does so on strictly Homoeopathic principles. Picric acid. The extreme prostration of pernicious anaemia, with a heavy tired feeling all over the body, burning pains along the spine and aggravation from excitement indicate this remedy.

#Helonias [Helon]
An excellent remedy in anaemia and chlorosis. It suits especially anaemia from prolonged haemorrhage in women enervated by indolence and luxury, or such as are worn out with hard work; they are too tired to sleep and the strained muscles burn and ache A characteristic modality is that the patient is better when the attention is engaged, hence better when the doctor comes. This anaemia is associated with disturbances in the urinary and sexual organs. Tired,anaemic, backachey females need Helonias, "It is one of the best blood makers that we have." (E. G. Jones.)

#Aletris [Alet]
Chlorosis. "The China of the uterine organs." (Hale.) Tired dull, heavy,confused. Debility of females from protracted illness; no organic disease. Power and energy of mind and body are weakened.

#Secale [Sec]
This remedy produces a progressives general anaemia. It is shown by the peculiar cachexia of anaemia, pale, bloodless, jaundiced color. By its effect on the blood corpuscles it produces a general anaemia, threatening not only the life of a part, but vitiating the whole life of the bodily economy. It is a sort of a mechanical anaemia.

#Natrum muriaticum [Nat-m]
This is one of our best remedies in anaemic conditions. There is paleness, and, in spite of the fact that the patient eats well, there is emaciation. There are attacks of throbbing headache and dyspnoea, especially on going up stairs, constipation ands depression of spirits, and consolation aggravates. With these symptoms there is much palpitation, fluttering and intermittent action of the heart. The hypochondriasis in these cases is marked. Scanty menstruation is frequently an indicating symptom. Kali carbonicum is one of the most important remedies in anaemia, weak heart, sweats backache, especially with female complaints.

Alopecia Areata Homeopathic Treatment

                                                       Alopecia Areata 

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair from the scalp and elsewhere on the body. The person's own immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in round, smooth bald patches on the scalp. A person with a family history of autoimmune diseases is prone to develop this condition.

The novel approach of suppressing the autoimmune response with local cortisone (steroid) may work temporarily and is limited to the patch only. Relapses are common and the course still remains unpredictable. It has no long-term advantages and does not alter the nature of the disease
.

CAUSES= Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own hair follicles are attacked. There is some evidence that the following factors play a role is initiating this autoimmune response:

General Hair Loss Causes:-

	HAIR LOSS & CAUSES
	Daily shedding of few hairs is a normal cycle. Every 2-3 months approximately 10% of the hair falls out and new hair grow in its place. Excessive hair loss and failure on the part of reappearance of new hair are factors which lead to baldness.
	Common causes of hair loss are:
	Autoimmune diseases: Alopecia Areata, Lichen Planus Chemical: Hair shedding & breakage from styling, dyes etc. Drugs: Chemotherapy, gout medicines, birth control pills, excess of Vit. A, depressants Hormonal: Thyroid dysfunction & hormonal imbalances in men & women Infections: Fungal infections such as Tinea Capitis - causes hair loss in spots Post Major illness: May lead to sever hair loss Scalp diseases: Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis may lead to temporary, patchy loss Systemic: Diabetes, lupus etc.

	Male Pattern Baldness
	Facts: Genetic condition, inherited from either parents Susceptibility of hair follicles to DHT (byproduct of testosterone) Hair become thinner, shorter and easily shed leaving behind shiny, bald patches Once the hair follicles permanently atrophy in size, the condition is permanent Hope of revival of hair WITH HOMEOPATHY in partially affected areas does exist  Hope of slowing down the process WITH HOMEOPATHY definitely exists Role of homeopathy: Homeopathy plays a definitive role in stimulating the partially atrophied hair follicles and rejuvenating hair which has thinned or become scantly. Most cases treated at HomeoConsult R&D first witness a slow down in the falling of hair, followed by regrowth and increased density of hair in the affected areas. The biggest advantage of the treatment is the prevention of further loss on competition of 4-6 months of treatment.
	HRD’s Homeopathic treatment benefits  Since Male pattern baldness is a result of atrophy of hair follicles an aggressive approach which includes internal homeopathic medicines as well as local herbal extracts are used:
	Internal Homeopathic remedies: Possibly helps in reducing susceptibility to DHT Local Herbal (Homeopathic) extracts: Stimulate the partially atrophied follicles
	Advantages: Our treatment has no side effects Recommended for all age groups Significantly slows down the process of thinning of hair Case studies demonstrate a better long term prognosis Conventional treatments available: Minoxidil: A vasodilator is known for its ability to put the hair follicles into growth phase. Though it helps temporarily, it does not affect DHT production, making you vulnerable to hair loss on stopping the drug.

	Female Pattern Baldness
	(Androgenic Alopecia) Facts: Hair loss in women caused by hormonal imbalance & aging Genetic predisposition & family history usually evident Hormonal changes such as those after menopause cause thinning of hair Unlike male pattern baldness, frontal hairline is maintained Thinning & loss of hair takes place from all over Usually leads to permanent hair loss if left untreated HRD’s Homeopathic treatment benefits Just like Male Pattern Baldness, Homeopathy can help reduce or stop the progression of the condition in most cases. If diagnosed early and treated before the condition becomes irreversible, homeopathy can help in the regeneration of hair where the hair follicles are active. We therefore urge individuals to start the treatment as early as possible in order to achieve a faster recovery.
	Since Female pattern baldness leads to irreversible hair loss an aggressive approach which includes internal homeopathic medicines as well as local herbal extracts are used:
	Internal Homeopathic remedies: Stop and prevent further progression. Local Herbal (Homeopathic) extracts: Stimulate the partially affected hair follicles
	Advantages: Our treatment has no side effects Recommended for all age groups Significantly slows down the process of thinning of hair Case studies demonstrate a better long term prognosis Natrum muriaticum [Nat-m] Has the symptoms of easy falling out of the hair; it falls out when touched or combed. This is quite frequently seen in nursing home. Carbo vegetabilis has falling of hair after parturition or severe illness. Sepia has losing of hair after chronic headaches. Phosphorus [Phos] Bald spots on the head, which are dry and scaly, are characteristic of Phosphorus. Dandruff, roots of hair get gray and the hair comes out in bunches. Graphites cures bald spots on the sides of the head. The head sweats easily. The most important remedy in alopecia areata.  Phosphoric acid [Ph-ac] Falling of hair from general debility. Fluoric acid. Falling of hair from syphilis. As near specific as is possible. Arsenicum. Bald spots near the forehead; the scalp is covered with dry scales. Vinca minor. Falling of the hair with great itching of the scalp. Homeopathy Treatment: Many are known to give very good results in cases of alopecia reata. The medicines most commonly found useful are – Acid-flouricum, Phosphorus, Graphites, Apis, Ars-alb, Calcarea, Hepar-sulph, Psorinum, Kali-carb, Rhus-tox, Sepia, Psorinum,
